＜Episode 127＞ Beginner Husband and Beginner Father 5
[With our Si-eun… … Did you have a couple fight?]
[yes. you’re right.]
[Oh my. What the hell happened?]
When she answered immediately, Si-eun’s mother immediately inquired about the situation. The light of surprise in his words could be felt straight through the phone.
The evening of a small quarrel with Si-eun. It was in a taxi on the way home from work.
I know well that it is not a place to gossip about in the neighborhood. What happened between husband and wife should end between the couple. In any case, it should not be heard in the ears of others.
But I just wanted to tell my mother.
From the words you gave me last year, I realized something late.
To tell this story, we need to explain the cause of the conflict step by step. The phone call will be long, but it’ll be fine since I’m on my way home from work.
Shaking the object in the other hand, he slowly summarized the episodes from the day he gave birth to Hana.
[…] … In this way, we started arguing a bit in the morning.]
[Oh my gosh.]
At the end of the long story, she added a closing remark, and her mother exclaimed with a rather startled voice.
[okay. therefore?]
[This is the end.]
[End?]
[yes.]
It is true that I explained everything until this morning. After that, we went back to the nursery and slept together, so there’s no way there’s a back story.
After the mother remained silent for a while.
[Didn’t you say that you had a fight before?]
[Yes. As I just said, we had a bit of a big argument.]
[…] … Ahaha.]
I straightened my back and answered, but suddenly the sound of laughter returned. In general, it was a loud voice that was not like a serious mother. At this point, it really deserves to be called laughter.
The mother stopped laughing and held her breath for a while. What followed was after that.
[Where are the couples who call it a marital fight?]
[Uh, is it?]
[Isn’t that obvious? This isn’t even a fight. It’s just a teasing level.]
is it.
Not that it wasn’t, I had a gloomy thought this morning as well. Still, I thought that I would fall within the cut-off line of the couple’s fight, but it must have been nothing.
Embarrassed, he coughed in vain. Perhaps my reaction was funny, my mother burst into laughter again and then said.
[Anyway, I think I understood properly the nags about marriage in the past. Is this the story?]
[Oh, yes. you’re right.]
[Whoops. okay.]
After my mother tidied up the raised tone.
[This is what a couple fight is like. There may be times when one person makes a mistake and fights. Most of the time, there are conflicting opinions.]
[is that so?]
[okay. Are you in a situation where you can’t even say who’s at fault? The son-in-law was worried about Si-eun. Si-eun was worried about such a son-in-law. It must be said that the two of them had different minds.]
He quietly nodded his head.
As a result, it is my negligence that I ignored Si-eun’s concerns, but it is ambiguous if I ask if there was anything wrong with me. Both of us must have had a deep inner love for each other.
[If there is a fight later, someone must make a gesture of reconciliation. Of course, couple fights are cut with a knife, so even if you leave it alone, it is often closed down… … If it accumulates like that, it is bound to explode.]
[I have to be careful.]
[You have to be careful. Well, actually, I’ve never had a big fight with Si-eun’s dad. Because my husband was so blind, he accepted all my complaints.]
[Ummm.]
It’s scary because it’s not like anyone else’s.
Anyway, I know where Si-eun’s deep heart came from. My parents get along so well that they don’t fight so much. Si-eun must have naturally imitated him too.

Mother’s words continued.[Besides, I must have learned well this time. Even if it is for Si-eun, you have to take care of yourself.]
This was the advice I heard from my mother earlier. If it had been well engraved at the time, there would not have been a situation like this one. It was something to deeply reflect on.
[yes. Yes.]
When I spoke with tension, my mother added in a very serious voice.
[Don’t go anywhere in your life. Take care of your health, and take care of Si-eun.]
This short word seemed to contain an intrinsic meaning that was not at all light.
He answered with a force in his throat.
[I will keep that in mind.]
[okay. It’s good to be full of energy.]
The mother smiled after seeing if she was satisfied.
[My Si-eun doesn’t know, but even my son-in-law is so kind. Like my husband and I, we might not fight for the rest of our lives.]
[I do not know. Am I that kind… … .]
[a. what do you mean Where else can you find such a good son-in-law? Also, because our Si-eun was afraid that it would be difficult, we tried to help everything.]
After talking up to this point, the mother spoke in a playful tone.
[To my mother-in-law, who is unconditionally on my wife’s side, even telling me that the two of us had a fight and I’m talking about Lee Siljikgo.]
[ah.]
That’s right though.

When I opened the door and entered the front door, I couldn’t see the shadow that was supposed to be there.
Si-eun, who always welcomed me home after work, was not waiting for me today.
Did you even go out for a while?
I don’t want to go out on an evening like this. Besides, one is too late to go out, so I have to leave it alone. Si-eun is not that kind of person.
Then there is only one place where Si-eun is.
I walked slowly and slowly opened the door to the nursery.
Again, it was correct.
On the bed for the couple in the nursery, Si-eun was in a deep sleep.
I couldn’t even come to meet my husband because he was sleeping cool. It may be a situation that should be saddened, but I didn’t feel that way at all. On the contrary, it was only fortunate that he did not interfere with his break time.
I turned on the stand placed in the corner of the room. Then I gently sat down next to Si-eun, who was sleeping, where I always lay. The items he brought were hidden behind his back.
I’m sleeping well, but I don’t want to wake you up. However, I did not want to go out growing up well.
Si-eun, who went on a trip to dreamland, is always cute and pretty. I decided to look around for a while.
Si-eun, lying on her side, looked as if she was asleep watching my empty seat.
Si-eun often looks at me until I fall asleep. Seeing you lying down the same way when I wasn’t there, maybe it’s just a habit.
Or maybe he just wanted me to come back soon.
Black hair is scattered on the pillow. Is it because of Si-eun’s thorough management that it doesn’t get tangled and looks soft?
His facial features were clear even though he lacked strength. The long eyelashes and the cute points on the lips were attractive as always.
Her white, smooth skin looked beautiful today as well.
Si-eun shows off her beauty as if to show off without missing anything.
Is there any man in the world who would not be happy with a wife like this?
As I was looking at Si-eun in such a enchanted way, Si-eun’s eyes opened little by little.
I was surprised for a moment, but now it seems it’s too late to turn my gaze away. In the end, until all of Si-eun’s eyes were opened, it was like staring at Si-eun.
After waking up, Si-eun opened her mouth.
“… … I’m here?”
It was a dull voice.
“yes. I’ve been honey.”
“Ugh~ I worked so hard at work.”
After a short greeting, Si-eun raised her upper body with a relaxed gesture. Sitting on the bed, he stretched out with a sagging yawn.
After stretching, I think I came to my senses. Si-eun spoke with a clearer tone than before.
“sorry. I made dinner, but I didn’t set the table. I was just trying to warm you up.”
“okay?”
“yes. I’ll wash up for a while and get it ready when you come. Wait a minute.”
“it’s okay. Take it slow.”
I’m not very hungry anyway. There’s no way you’ll starve to death if you’re a few dozen minutes late. There would be no reason to be in a hurry.
He tapped Si-eun’s head as a sign of reassurance. Si-eun smiled with half-closed eyes.
The smile on her mouth slowly opened.
“therefore? Today is?”
He paused for a moment at the nonsensical question. What does it mean? asked with a wink.
“Uh, what?”
“… … .”
“ah.”
Silence was the answer.
I almost forgot today. No, I almost forgot about it. It’s so much fun to admire Si-eun’s sleeping beauty. After work, I missed out on things I shouldn’t have missed.
“Can’t the honey be done first from now on?”
When asked playfully, Si-eun shook her head.
“no. Then it seems like I want to do it.”
“It’s not quite wrong.”
“Anyway, no.”
There is no dictator
Anyway, there’s no way I don’t like Si-eun. In the future, I think this will be my responsibility. I’ll have to set an alarm for when I get off work so I don’t forget it.
As I kissed Si-eun lightly, I had that thought.
When she parted her lips, the corners of Si-eun’s lips soared toward the sky. Of course, I was no different.
While they were looking at each other with only smiles, without saying a word, Si-eun kept her face close and whispered.
“by the way.”
“yes.”
“What are you hiding behind your back?”
did you hear
Haha, I must have been too teasy. From the time Si-eun woke up until now, she has always had one hand behind her back.
Besides, whenever Si-eun moved, it even made a rustling sound. The fact that he was hiding something must have been recognized quickly.
However, it seems that they have not yet grasped what that ‘something’ is. Fortunately it was This is a small surprise prepared for Si-eun. It is difficult to notice early.
“Well.”
Si-eun’s eyes narrowed as he spoke as if hesitantly.
“Tell me right away.”
“Wait a minute. I want to take a nap.”
“What? done. I mean, I’m curious. Show me quickly.”
Then, Si-eun teased her upper body from side to side and listened to peek behind my back. Of course, I flipped my body to the beat. Thanks to this, Si-eun’s vision was completely blocked.
Soon after, Si-eun stopped moving as if giving up. His lips protruded from the feeling of defeat. I must have been very dissatisfied with the things I didn’t know.
said with a chuckle.
“Wait a minute. It wouldn’t be cool if you were caught peeping like that.”
Si-eun snorted at my words.
“Honey is always cool, isn’t it?”
“… … .”
“Hi-Hi.”
Si-eun let out an unpleasant laugh as if telling me to listen. When I saw him smiling as if he had been fed one room, I was somewhat dissatisfied.
His cheeks blushed silently at the sudden compliment. To be honest, I could be happy. To react like this even after receiving compliments… … It was something old-fashioned poetry would do.
What are you going to do by hiding it longer? If one of them wakes up like this, it’s a mess. I have to eat rice after washing, so it’d be better to hand it over to me right away.
He pulled out his hidden hand.
At the same time, Si-eun’s eyes widened.
“… … Flower?”
“okay.”
He answered by handing out a bouquet of colorful flowers to the bewildered Si-eun.
“It’s a gift. A couple fight this morning… … Because we did the same thing.”
“As a commemoration?”
“Even if it’s not something to celebrate.”
He continued to explain, pointing out and smiling.
“I felt sorry for the whole company today. Even if his intentions were good, he was too indifferent. Then I was going to work and I saw a flower shop. I bought it once.”
There was no strong will to give flowers as a gift. A flower shop just came into my eyes by chance. Or would it be more romantic to call it fate?
Whether it was coincidence or fate, it was the same as a gift filled with guilt toward Si-eun.
He pulled out a bouquet of flowers. It meant accepting my heart.
As if telepathy worked, Si-eun took the bouquet with both hands. Then he started looking around the bouquet.
Is it because I have to rely on a stand fire to watch it? It seemed that the splendor of the outside did not come to life.
Afterwards, Si-eun took a deep look at the bouquet. I looked at it from different angles, and brought my nose closer to smell the scent.
So a pretty long time passed. Anyone who saw it would have thought they were talking to each flower.
After fiddling for a while, Si-eun raised her head.
“yes. thank you.”
Si-eun responds briefly with an emotionless tone.
What a refreshing reaction. I thought it would make you more happy. It is somewhat unexpected.
I asked, out of embarrassment.
“Are you not fond of flowers?”
“Um, no. it’s okay.”
Si-eun just shook her head expressionlessly in spite of the question she posed just in case. He didn’t look like he was lying, but he didn’t look very happy either.
Should I have prepared a more abundant bouquet?
Soon after, Si-eun got out of bed. He was still holding a bouquet of flowers in both hands.
“Anyway, wash up. I will set the table.”
“Um, okay.”
I’m still feeling a little queasy, but what can I do? It was all due to a lack of sense of choosing a gift. It’s a random choice, so it doesn’t matter. From now on, I have to buy things that Si-eun seems to like.
Hiding her regrets, she got out of bed and stood next to Si-eun.
So we came out of the nursery, and each of us walked towards the kitchen and bathroom.
As I was walking aimlessly, my phone in my pocket rang briefly.
I don’t have many people to contact me. Have you ever received an urgent call from the company? Please don’t ask me to go back to work.
He pulled out his cell phone, embracing his doubts.
A notification popped up on the screen that a KakaoTalk message had arrived.
Who the hell sent it? I immediately touched the notification and read the contents.
As soon as I checked the message, I burst out laughing.
okay. I see
I am a novice husband and a novice father.
Perhaps Si-eun is also a wife who is not good at expressing her feelings.
He smiled and read the message again.
[Sieun: Thank you so much. Idiot.]
Anyway… … She was a very dishonest wife.
