After pouring alcohol into a small soju glass, silently toasting, he turned his body and swung it over in one sip. It felt like something was really going on. It’s not that you drink a lot and you become a Kwanla, but you get drunk and get drunk in the atmosphere of drinking alcohol while enjoying the silence in the early morning.
For a while, we just drank like that without talking. Looking back, I don’t think I’ve ever had a drink alone with my father-in-law. There has been a time when the two of us were alone for a while before drinking together, but it was never just the two of us.
Basically, when I’m drinking, Heena is always right next to me. After graduating from college, I hardly ever drank unless it was for a dinner party or a family gathering. It was hard to see the faces of my friends.
Besides, it wasn’t uncomfortable at all to be alone like this. In general, it was not a very comfortable position for a son-in-law, but it has been 8 years since I lived in this house. And it has been 10 years since I first greeted my father-in-law.
It’s hard to say things like this, but except for my parents, the father-in-law was more comfortable than any other relatives. We’ve been spending so much time together.
“Yeonhoo.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
How much time passed and how much did you drink? I don’t know, but while I was drinking slowly, my father-in-law called my name. It’s been a long time since you called me by my name, Yeonhoo, not my son-in-law.
The father-in-law sat on the floor, leaning his back on the sofa, and fiddling with a glass of wine with one hand.
“Four years… No, I’ve been staying here for five more years.”
“yes.”
“It would be better to be independent by then.”
“……”
– squeak
The father-in-law speaks calmly and pours alcohol into the glass again. It was never meant to say that we should not cook rice here, and that it would be difficult to live together. It couldn’t have been such a stupid reason.
Because we were a family. Although there was no blood, I could proudly say that they were my family wherever I went.
Besides, the fact that he has a bitter face while talking is that 5 years is too short a time for a father-in-law.
It seemed that Heena and Sarang were already lonely, the future happiness of us, and parting with me.
“I wish we could continue living together, but… If we still have a family, we shouldn’t be together like this forever. We shouldn’t get used to being around.”
“yes.”
“When happiness grows, this house will be too small.”
Saying that, he glanced around the quiet house. It is difficult for me to accurately guess the inner feelings that come out of the dim eyes, but I thought that Heesung was looking at the vacancy of hyung.
Children are bound to leave their parents’ arms at some point, and Sarang made the house lively as there is no older brother, but the vacant place in the family can never be replaced by anything.
And I was silently listening to the words of the father-in-law. Coincidentally, the conversation I had with my dad when I stopped by my hometown today was also part of our independence.
The reason for doing so was the same as what you said now. Living together, we were getting so much help in every way, and it was very convenient, but I couldn’t do this in my life.
We had to learn to stand on our own.
The father-in-law smiled and nodded at my reaction, which was equally calmly accepted without much fuss.
“Maybe you have some things in mind after opening.”
“Yeah… Actually, when I stopped by my hometown today, I had a little talk with my dad. I don’t know exactly when, but I think it should be.”
“Yeah? Heh heh, there was something in common with me.”
I exchanged drinks with my father-in-law. The future to come must be lonely, but it was never a bad thing. Because it was such a future that we would naturally meet if we spend each day happily as we do now without any major problems.
“I heard from Heena that she had been collecting hard for a while. There must have been a lot of things I wanted to do… It’s really difficult.”
“No. Of course it is. Because I am the head of the family.”
“Yes. That’s right. It may sound old-fashioned, but it’s the right thing to do. You’re the head of the family, just like me and my brother.”
I did work hard. Both me and Heena saved most of the rest of the money except for the minimum necessary amount.
Of course, I didn’t just cherish it very much, I took Sarang to various places and spent time with my family, but I never wasted it.
Actually, I didn’t even think it was that hard. For me, my family came first, and it was something I had to do for the future of my family.
I had a conversation like this with Heena once in a while, but of course, Heena also had the same thoughts as me.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
No, I was thinking of my family a lot more than I did. Heena has always been like that. I have considered myself and love more important than anything else in the world.
always. Heena has always been like that. And I, too, have always been thinking about how to keep pace with Heena.
Fortunately, I had a way to do that.
“Now that I’ve heard your thoughts, let’s talk about the difficult stuff like this. We still have some time.”
“Yeah. By the way, would you mind going to work tomorrow? I think you’re eating too much.”
“Hey, who are you worried about? It’s okay if I drink all night yet!”
“No… Wouldn’t it be a problem if you get scolded by your mother-in-law or Heena?”
“That’s right…”
In order not to wake up the family, he faced the father-in-law and laughed while silenced the sound.
It was still far away, but it was getting closer. The moment when we have to face life as the four of us, out of this warmth and comfort.
—
After confirming the pregnancy, I had a busy day. I go to the obstetrics and gynecologist every week, as well as revive old memories and check baby items more carefully.
And if Heena tried to do anything, she would take it right away. However, no matter how much I said I will do everything and rest, Heena couldn’t stay still, so Sarang mobilized in the end.
“Dad! Mommy went to wash the dishes!”
“What?! Heena! Because I’m doing it!!”
“You’re folding the laundry right now. It’s okay to wash the dishes~”
“No! Love! Suppress Mom!”
“yes!!”
“Oh boy~”
If you see Heena going to the kitchen or cleaning, report it to me right away. And Sarangi, a spy, was doing her job well.
One of Sarangi’s hobbies these days is to put her ear to Heena’s stomach and listen to the sound, so whenever I’m working on something else for a while, I’m definitely checking it out.
In the midst of spending each day as absolutely stable as possible, Heena’s belly began to come out little by little, and finally, I was able to find out the gender of Happiness.
“Heh heh heh, he’s my son as well~ I think he looks just like him!”
“Well then! Is love your sister now?”
“Yes. Sarang is the older sister. Sarang must work hard so that she can be a good older sister to Happy.”
“Yes! I will study hard and become a good noona!”
“Our love is so kind~”
is your son
Something more I couldn’t imagine. Wouldn’t love just resemble Heena? I was just thinking, what on earth would a son who resembles me feel? Of course, even if he was a son, he could have resembled Heena.
And Heena was very happy to know that he was her son. It’s not because he likes his son more than his daughter, but because he can feel the same love as Heesung feels happy in the relationship with his brother.
“What should I do? I miss you so much that we are happy!”
Well… it seems like he’s just wanting to see Minnie Yeonhoo.
There was nothing much different from usual, except that the whole house had a cheerful atmosphere. Although the whole family is concerned about Heena’s physical condition, Heena is very good at taking care of herself.

Moreover, this time Heena’s emotional ups and downs were not that great. Rather, it was a problem because I was constantly trying to do housework, but it doesn’t look as unstable as when I was pregnant for the first time.
of course.
“Baby, I want to eat grapes.”
“Yeah? Heesung is going to call hyung… Oh, no, really.”
There were times when I suddenly asked for something like this because I was craving for an appetite.
ah! I miss you, Heesung-hyung!
Anyway, other than that, it was really normal. It’s not easy to enjoy something special because I’m worried about Heena’s body.
Of course, that doesn’t mean we didn’t miss out on seasonal events that our family enjoyed every year. At the end of Sarang’s summer vacation, I went to get some sea breeze, and in the fall, I stopped by the zoo.
At the elementary school sports day with Sarang, the whole family took part in annual leave. Sarang also resembled me in that part, so her athleticism wasn’t bad.
But honestly, Sarang gives strength to those around her just by smiling, so her existence alone would have been a great help to the team. I don’t think so because I’m out of arms.
And in winter, I went to a sledding rink. This is something Heena has been promoting every year since 4 years ago, so this was also an annual event.
From this time on, Heena’s belly started to come out conspicuously, and because of that, Heena was mostly taking pictures, but that alone seemed enjoyable enough.
After that, the sun goes down, the three of us enjoy a joint birthday party, and spring is back in full swing.
So time passed.

Maybe it’s because it’s a road we’ve already gone through once, so it’s more stable than before, helping each other without any problems.

Me and Heena’s second child.
