Girlfriend is Too Good to Me – Episode 186 (187/213)
〈 186화 〉 Family Trip. And Baby Making
* * *
The day of the Busan trip.
All the family members gathered early in the morning and set off right away. It was so early that Jihoo was asleep in his sister-in-law’s arms, and Sarang was also looking sleepy, but what could you do about kids?
Since we were planning to rent most of the fishing gear, we didn’t have much luggage, so the preparation was quite easy. In the end, the brothers each bought a fishing rod, though. I don’t know what they were thinking.
Thus began the long journey to Busan.
I kept talking non-stop in the 9-seater Carnival that Heeseong hyung [older brother/male friend] and Rin noona [older sister/female friend] had rented. This was my way of overcoming motion sickness.
Motion sickness medicine was a given, and based on my experience, I realized that I don’t get motion sickness if I keep talking to someone.
I don’t know if it’s the same for everyone, or just me.
“Does Daddy like Blackie more? Then I like Blackie the best too!”
“Really? But Daddy also likes Spotty~?”
“Then, then I like Spotty too… Ah, I don’t know! Who does Daddy like the most?!”
“Hmm, maybe Whitey is better?”
“What!”
“Honey, Sarang, have some apple here.”
“Ah~”
“Ah~”
Anyway, for that reason, I was having all sorts of conversations with Sarang, who was sitting in the middle. I was bringing up every topic I could think of. Sarang seemed pleased that I was focusing on her and kept talking to her, so she really liked it.
Hee-na was cutting fruit for us as we chatted away. Whenever the conversation was about to die down, she would bring up a new topic so that I could continue talking.
“Hey, are you guys the only ones eating?”
“No? I’m giving some to Seonhoo hyung who’s sitting in the back, too?”
“What apple are you giving to the guy who’s lying down and playing alone in the back seat! Give it to us!”
“Hyung, just drive. Sarang, should we give an apple to auntie?”
“Yes! Auntie! I’ll give you an apple!”
“Really?”
As Sarang said that and picked up an apple with a fork, Rin noona, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately turned around.
“Auntie! Ah~”
“Oh… okay… Ah~”
However, because she wasn’t used to doing this kind of thing with family members yet, she hesitated a little before gently opening her mouth.
And Sarang put a small piece of apple into noona’s mouth. She shyly chewed on it.
“Is it delicious!”
“Yeah… it’s delicious. It’s even more delicious because Sarang gave it to me.”
“Then I’ll give you another one!”
“Thank you.”
“Sarang! What about me?! Aren’t you going to give uncle any!”
“Uncle has to drive!”
“You can eat an apple even while driving!”
“Should I give auntie the fork? Auntie will give it to uncle.”
“Yes!”
“No… not you, Sarang… Ugh.”
Even though the road wasn’t congested, Rin noona stopped Heeseong hyung, who wanted to receive an apple from Sarang.
“Munch munch… it is delicious. But why is it so bumpy? Did Hee-na cut it?”
“Oppa [term of endearment used by females to address older males, can be family or close friend], be quiet. Unless you want to be kicked out to the other car.”
“Sorry…”
Anyway, we headed to Busan in a relatively friendly atmosphere. Except for Seonhoo hyung, who was lying down in the very back seat and playing on his phone, the five of us were chatting excitedly.
There were a total of 6 people in our car, and in the other car, there was Junghoo hyung driving, his wife, and our parents taking care of Jihoo.
Both cars were 9-seater Carnivals, so there was plenty of space and it was quite comfortable. Thanks to all the talking, I barely had any motion sickness.
Actually, what I was most worried about on this trip was my motion sickness, but thankfully my method was definitely effective, judging by the fact that I didn’t even feel a hint of it.
So, in high spirits, I shouted to Sarang, who was munching on an apple next to me.
“Sarang! Shall we play a game with Daddy!”
“Umm… Okay!”
“Han Sarang! You have to finish everything in your mouth before you talk!”
“Okay…”
Oops. Sarang, I’m sorry…
Perhaps because it was still June, the road to Busan wasn’t too congested. We arrived in Busan without any problems or motion sickness and arrived at the pension [type of lodging similar to a bed and breakfast] that Yoojun was running with his parents.
Before arriving, I received a call from him, and I was able to meet Jun, who was waiting in front in advance.
“Hyung, long time no see!! Finally seeing your face in Busan~”
“I know, right. How have you been?”
“What do you mean, we talk every day… Oh my~ Hello! I’m Yoo Jun, Yeonhoo hyung’s training camp buddy!”
“The pension is so pretty~ Please take care of us~”
“Thank you for inviting us. You have a very kind impression.”
“Thank you! And everyone is paying what they need to pay, so what have I done… But I’ll give you plenty of barbecue service!”
His chubby body and Yoojun’s unique affability were still the same. After graduating, it was difficult to get a job, so he started managing the pension that his parents were running together…
Well, he was a guy who had the advantage of working hard on everything since training camp, so he must be doing well now. They say that the number of guests has increased a lot since Yoojun started helping.
After greeting me and my family, he was glancing at Hee-na and Sarang with a face full of anticipation.
He hadn’t seen them in person for 4 years, only through photos and hearing about them from me, so it was understandable that he was acting like that. Anyway, since the brothers were parking the car for a while, I decided to introduce them now.
“Hee-na, Sarang, say hello to Yoojun.”
“Hello. My husband talks a lot about you, Yoojun-ssi [honorific title].”
“Hello, uncle! I’m Sarang!”
“Wow… It’s very nice to meet you. Yeonhoo hyung bragged so much about his sister-in-law and Sarang. I was really j… envious.”
“Really? Honey. Is that so~?”
“Well, yeah.”
They are my wife and daughter that I can’t help but brag about, of course.
After a short greeting, the brothers returned, and Jun immediately guided us to our rooms. He probably wanted to talk more, but he seemed to be considerate of the fact that the family was waiting.
The rooms we looked around were pretty both in the photos and in person, and they were very meticulously cared for. It was definitely something he could confidently say would be booked quickly.
Cleanliness was basic, and I don’t know much about interior design, but it was so atmospheric that you could tell at a glance.
Following Jun, we checked the two rooms that we had ‘externally’ rented. One simple men’s room and one women’s room.
We had considered dividing it by family, but the family rooms weren’t very spacious, so it could be uncomfortable, so we just did it by gender.
And in addition to this.
“Honey. What about our room?”
“I told them. I booked a small couple room separately, so you can just put Sarang to sleep and go there.”
“Looking at the pictures, the atmosphere is similar to the family room. It’s pretty, so it’s good~”
“Right? It wasn’t originally like this, but Jun started paying attention to the interior since he started working here.”
While Sarang was running around looking at the room, Hee-na and I talked about the third room in a small voice.
For now, we were planning to spend time until late at night, and when Sarang fell asleep in the room, we would sneakily move rooms. However, if she didn’t fall asleep easily, or if she asked me to sleep with her, I thought I couldn’t help it.
If that happened, I’d just have to take her and sleep together. I didn’t want to force her to sleep or lie to her, so that’s why this troublesome situation happened. Or, even if we slept together, I could probably get out as long as she didn’t hold onto me.
We used to go to motels like that at home sometimes. The problem was that she always grabbed me these days. Strangely, she wakes up quickly if I try to loosen her hand.
“Okay~ this is it! Here are the card keys~ You said you don’t need anything else~ so I’ll prepare the barbecue separately later! Fishing starts at 6 tomorrow, so please gather in front of the building by 5:30!”
Yoojun clapped his hands once and gave a final explanation of the schedule. The family members all unpacked their luggage in their respective rooms, and Jun approached me.
“How is it? Is it okay?”
“Wow, I’m really surprised. Isn’t the pension your calling? The interior is no joke.”
“캬~ [onomatopoeia for cheering] You recognize it! It was really hard to tear it all down and rebuild it! Dad insisted on something weird like classic or modern…”
“That could be good, too, right?”
“It would be okay if it was done well, but classic was just old-fashioned interior.”
“Ah…”
I immediately understood what it felt like. Of course, I hadn’t seen the pension at that time, so it was hard to say more, but the fact that reservations are full now means that Yoojun is doing well.
After that, Yoojun greeted Hee-na, who was standing next to me with a somewhat hesitant look, once again.
“I just gave a rough greeting earlier… Please take care of me again.”
“Please take care of me too~ Thank you for booking our room.”
“Ah, no problem.”
“Why are you being like this all of a sudden.”
He seemed to be speaking quite cheerfully earlier, but when we were alone, he became very shy. At my question, Yoojun grumbled softly as if whispering.
“No, honestly, you’re too pretty… How did you meet her…”
“You can do it too if you work hard.”
“Don’t just throw out words you don’t mean.”
“I don’t think it’ll be easy even if I work hard…”
“This s…”
“Daddy!! There’s a bunny doll over there!! It’s so cute!”
“Is that so?”
While the three of us were standing in the hallway talking, Sarang ran out of the room. And seeing Sarang’s innocent appearance, Yoojun’s face lit up.
I could understand that feeling. Sarang’s cuteness is so deadly. Even I, who see her every day, often can’t control my expression.
I decided to do a service for Yoojun.
“Uncle must have put the bunny doll there for Sarang to see. You have to say thank you to uncle~”
“Ah! Uncle! Thank you!”
“Hehehe, you don’t have to thank me~ Should I bring you more dolls? I have a lot!”
“Really?!”
Sarang, who was very excited, smiled brightly right in front of him, and Yoojun looked like he was about to die of happiness.
Thank you for inviting me to the pension, so enjoy that happiness to the fullest.
Wink
And in the meantime, Hee-na gave me a look and gave me a strange smile. I smiled back at her.
Looking at Sarang’s tension now, she will definitely be tired and fall asleep soon around dinner time. If Sarang suddenly falls asleep, Yoonjung noona will take care of her.
We.
We will be able to have a good time for the first time in a while. For our second child.
