＜Episode 141＞ The Great Surprise Battle 1
I dare say, I was a lucky person.
A child raised through hardship and hardship is bound to be precious. It is even more so if it is a daughter who is as pretty as her wife.
On days when I see even a scratch on my face, I am confident that I will toss and turn without being able to sleep.
So, when there is a man who shoots flirts at our daughter, displeasure prevails.
Turning on the lights in both eyes, he wants to verify that he is the right man for his daughter.
As a father, it was natural.
However, I easily married Si-eun, the most beautiful girl in school. It is thanks to Si-eun’s mother who accepted me without any doubts.
I was the luckiest human being.
I gave this to Si-eun, who was sitting across from him, and only a cold smile came back.
“Isn’t that what you mean seriously?”
“… … It was half a joke.”
“Were you half serious?”
It’s a bittersweet reaction. His expression became even colder. He hurriedly waved his hand.
“No, what is it? The part about being a lucky person is sincere. Because I got married to my sweetheart and got one.”
“… … huh.”
Si-eun snorted. what was the complaint Or are you just doing this out of shame?
Then, after a while, he moves his mouth to the fresh fruit juice on the table. It looked very bewitching to see her red-tinted lips inhaling a straw. I can’t believe I’m a mother of a three-year-old child.
He turned his gaze and looked at the condition again.
One was preoccupied with playing trampoline. On the one hand, they were surrounded by children and being protected. There was even a bodyguard (?) to stop an unfamiliar child from approaching.
Anyone who sees it will know that she is a princess. Do children know that Hana is pretty?
He even looked at us through the glass wall earlier. Now I have completely lost interest.
As a father, it’s only sad, but thanks to him, I have time to have a serious conversation with Si-eun. it was better

Mid-December, early winter.This place I came to after spending a vacation was a kids cafe near my hometown.
Nothing special happened these days.
The company was equally focused on work.
The two years and ten months of military service will soon come to an end, and you will be freed in February of next year. I was waiting eagerly enough to count down every day.
At home, he loved his wife and daughter and enjoyed every day.
As I got used to parenting, my stubbornness only grew stronger. Two years old is said to be this age. Is it time to learn a new parenting method?
While suffering so much, Si-eun insists on making a second one as soon as possible… … . Then, there may be a time limit on the period of leave of absence. Still, you’d be better off getting a college diploma.
It was truly an ordinary, ordinary day.
But to me, every single day was precious.
In the midst of this, I had a lot of vacation left this year, so I wanted to go somewhere on a trip.
So I asked Si-eun where she wanted to go, but… … Unexpectedly, the place Si-eun chose was the hometown where my parents lived.
“Because I haven’t been able to see my mother and father lately. Besides, she doesn’t even know what’s around the house she used to live in. Let’s take a look at this opportunity.”
I see there is a reason for that. The problem was that I didn’t even know what was near my hometown.
In the end, I went on a trip near my house, and it came to a point where I stopped by kids cafes.
I looked at Si-eun’s face on the other side.
Seeing Hana running around on the trampoline, Si-eun’s mouth was elongated.
In one way or another, Si-eun looks happy, so should I say it’s fortunate?
“fun?”
Si-eun glanced sideways at me when I asked.
“yes. It’s fun to see one having fun. Isn’t honey fun?”
“It’s fun to see Honey having fun.”
“What?”
Upon hearing my answer, Si-eun stirred the straw stuck in the juice to and fro.
“Anyway, I just joke around every day.”
No, I’m not kidding.
Still, it’s fun to watch one, as the poem says. Because when one smiles, a smile is drawn naturally. Just looking at the way your children eat makes you realize that you are full.
I also took a sip of the juice. The sweet orange flavor spreads through me.
Looking back at me completely, Si-eun asked.
“What are we going to do tomorrow?”
He put down his glass and answered.
“Well. I didn’t even think about it too much and it came off. I saw Mom and Dad, so can I go home? I have a few days left on vacation.”
Si-eun shook her head.
“I’m here anyway, isn’t it better to be here? I’ll have to go and stay at home. It is better to go and see the faces of Grandma and Grandpa a lot.”
“okay?”
Si-eun nodded at the sound of the question.
If so, then there is no reason to disobey. Mom and Dad love each other infinitely, so if you say you want to stay longer, they will surely be delighted.
furthermore.
“My parents seemed to like Honey more than me… … .”
As she muttered to herself, Si-eun was fed up.
“Isn’t it because the son is so blunt that he prefers a daughter-in-law who has a lot of aegyo?”
“… … uhm.”
You are a hundred times right. There was nothing I could do to get it back. I took one more sip of just a little juice.
Then, as I put the glass down, an idea came to my mind. Just put it in your mouth.
“For me?”
“What?”
Si-eun tilted her head.
He smiled and said it again.
“Then why don’t you show affection to me?”
“What?”
Lengthen the end of the sentence to make sure there is no absurdity. Unfortunately, I had no intention of overturning it. On the contrary, when I rushed to answer with a wink of my eyes, Si-eun’s expression turned into a pout. He seems to be subtly dissatisfied.
“What are you talking about? you do it often Occasionally, I feed them side dishes. When I get home from work, I always kiss. Oh, I wake up in the morning and hug her for a few minutes… … .”
Si-eun protested helplessly. While talking, he might have been embarrassed or stuttered behind his back. Her cheeks were stained red to the point of being conspicuous.
I heard everything was right. In hindsight, maybe Si-eun is also trying hard to show her aegyo. It was a remarkable development compared to the past when I couldn’t be honest because of my shame.
Of course, it’s not my business.
He smiled exaggeratedly and tilted his head.
“uh? Did you? I can’t remember.”
Si-eun’s eyes were colored with astonishment.
“I don’t remember what. Do not lie. You hugged me and kissed me this morning too… … . Oh no. Anyway. I think it’s because I’m showing off a lot of aegyo.”
Then I add a word.
“It’s that much tic-tick, but… … .”
I guess you know
Si-eun, who shows how cute she is in embarrassment, is cute, but if she continues, she seems to get very upset.
If you apologize right before crossing the line, it will be appreciated. It was one of the lessons I learned from my life with Si Eun. I was determined to follow.
“It’s a joke. Sorry.”
“Shit.”
He apologized with a smile, but Si-eun clicked his tongue with a cold expression.
uh, uh Maybe I’ve already crossed the line… … ?
Embarrassed, Si-eun just scratched the back of her neck, exclaiming, and got up from her seat.
I was worried that he might go somewhere, but luckily it was Ki-woo. The place Si-eun headed was in front of the glass wall where Hana could be seen.
Si-eun put her hand on the glass wall and began to observe Hana. Perhaps it was meant to look after her mother, and she even wore a hat attached to a hoodie. Thanks to this, cat ears were created above the head.
But one was preoccupied with playing. She didn’t even look at her mother, who became a cat, and just jumped on the trampoline.
I walk behind Si-eun like that.
He hugged Si-eun lightly.
Si-eun’s body trembled at the sudden back hug.
“What, what are you doing?”
“I’m hugging you as an apology.”
“apologize?”
It looks like you don’t know what you’re apologizing for. Even if I was shy, I said it with my mouth.
“You just said it in a way that asked you to play aegyo, so you’re pissed off.”
After hearing my answer, Si-eun stood dazedly for a moment, then chuckled.
Then he spoke in a tone that still had a smile on his face.
“I’m not pissed. Why am I pissed off about that?”
“really?”
“Of course.”
Si-eun has a warm voice.
“It doesn’t happen in a day or two for Honey to gossip.”
“… … uhm.”
Should I thank you for this?
It took a long time, but I decided to take it for granted. There is nothing to lose if you dismiss excessive pranks or slurs as nonsense and pass them on.
There’s no need to apologize, but it’s okay to let go of the hug you’ve already hugged. As I silently continued the back hug posture, Si-eun’s back hit me in the chest.
“Okay, let me go now.”
“why?”
“You mean an apology? You said you don’t have to apologize.”
“Can’t I hug you for no reason?”
“It’s not impossible, but still.”
“why? that’s good Just pretend that you hugged him because he was cute. It’s cute because it has cat ears because of wearing a hat.”
“What is cute… … .”
The attack on the back of the head got stronger, probably because of the cute sound. It doesn’t hurt at all, but I want you to realize that even if it hurts, the back of your head will hurt more.
His humble appearance when he hears compliments doesn’t seem to change no matter how many years pass.
Haha, this aspect is also heartbreaking. Whenever I see Si-eun who is embarrassed, a catharsis wells up from the depths of her heart. He’s not even a boy in elementary school, but he wants to tease him over and over again.
To be immersed in such thoughts, Si-eun turned her face and turned her eyes to me. As if to respond, he turned his head slightly to face Si-eun.
Si-eun, who exchanged glances with me for a moment, raised the corners of her lips.
“Meow.”
After saying this one word, I looked back.
I stood there for a while and then came to my senses.

My whole body was itching at the cute behavior. Interlocked with his unique cat-like personality, his heart raced.If I had lacked a little patience, I might have kissed you right now.
“Look. Can you show me aegyo?”
Si-eun then asked, tremblingly. Instead of answering this, he hugged me tighter and stronger.
Uh-huh, Si-eun laughed and said, “Is this that good?” I asked, but okay. He seems to know exactly how to be cute.
To have such a cute wife and such a cute daughter.
Really, I must have been a lucky person.
After a while, Si-eun whispered with a bitter smile.
“But I don’t know if I can do this in front of the kids.”
“Well.”
Hearing those words, I looked inside the glass wall. The children, including Hana, didn’t seem interested in us. Before questioning whether it was okay to do this in front of the children, the children seemed to have no intention of looking at them.
Well, of course.
“After all, you would see Mom and Dad doing this every day at home. Would you be interested in what we do? It’ll be fine because it’s in front of the kids.”
“is it?”
Si-eun nodded quietly. … … Judging by the noise from behind, it seems like we’re the only ones doing this every day.
Hearing the coughing makes me a little embarrassed. I can give you a hug even if you go home. For now, I decided to stop at this point.
So I let Si-eun go and took a step back.
Someone grabbed my pants and pulled me.
There is no way that Si-eun was in my arms until recently. There’s no way it’s going to be the one beyond the glass wall.
I looked to see who the hell was coming, and there was a girl standing there. He is quite taller than one. He was probably going to be around four or five years old.
Of course, there is no way to know who the face is. He looked up and looked at Si-eun, and he looked just as bewildered as I was. I guess it’s a kid I don’t know.
He squatted down in his seat, making eye contact and asking a question.
“Are you looking for your parents?”
“no!”
A blunt answer came back.
Si-eun, who was squatting in the same way, asked.
“then? Is there anything you want to say to this brother?”
“yes!”
The child nodded loudly and then continued.
“Why did you two love each other?”
“… … uh?”
A sound like this came out of the silence.
Presumably, it was like asking how the two of us fell in love. On the surface, it seems that he is not yet an elementary school student, but it was surprising that he was already curious about love.
Or, there is a strong possibility that he asked without knowing the deep meaning. You must have heard the expression “I love you” from your parents countless times.
Come to think of it, there was a time when my parents told me the secret story of their meeting.
It was when I announced that I was dating Si-eun. My parents were even more excited than me to have a girlfriend, and they told me how the two of them got to know each other.
Si-eun’s mother was similar. The way he continued the story of his first meeting with the father-in-law with a happy face is still good in his eyes.
It seems that everyone has the same desire to convey happy emotions.
Of course I was the same. She smiled at the child in front of her and opened her mouth.
“Uh, actually, this older sister is a maid… … . Ouch.”
The conversation was interrupted by a sudden pinch of his thigh. When I looked to the side, Si-eun had her eyes wide open.
“What are you trying to say to a child you see for the first time?”
“ah… … . yes. It is.”
nodded slowly.
Si-eun’s point was correct. It’s not a big story enough to tell even people you don’t know. In the first place, I wonder if I would understand if I had to talk to the child about something like a housekeeper.
He turned his head again and said to the child.
“Sorry. I’ll tell you secretly later. Ouch.”
He pinched his thigh again.
Looking back, Si-eun burst out laughing.
“Are you secretly telling me you’re going to tell me?”
“ah.”
So was it.
Soon after, the child’s parents rushed to the scene. He grabbed the child and apologized one after another. It seemed that he had missed it while going to the bathroom.
It didn’t cause much trouble, so we continued to wave our hands saying it was okay.
The child was looking at us while we were being led out by the parents’ hands. It was a pity that I did not hear the answer.
Only when the child was out of sight did Si-eun giggle.
“He’s a fun kid. Come and ask me something strange.”
“We were just making love. Because Honey is hugged in the middle of the kids cafe.”
“You’re the one who hugged me.”
And then stabs me in the side. Of course, there was a playful expression on his face.
However… … That’s right.
how did we come to love
In the question full of innocence, there was a meaning that was never trivial.
He pulled out his cell phone from his back pocket and glanced at the date.
By the way, a few days later was our 3rd wedding anniversary.
