＜Episode 146＞ Home Sweet Home
“Dad! There’s a train!”
Towards me sitting in the living room, one ran and shouted.
I’m not trying to tell you that I have a toy train in my hands. You want to play with it, so it means you give it away.
I get it. He smiled and handed Hana the train.
“Okay. one of us The train is here.”
“yes!”
One accepted the toy with a bright smile.
Then he runs swiftly through the middle of the living room. Then, as if trying to defeat an invisible enemy, he began to swing the train back and forth. Hmm, I think you need a sword, not a train.
Anyway, it’s pretty cute.
Even just looking at it, it naturally made me feel better.
She’s our daughter, but she’s also very cheerful.
The more you go there, the more distinct the features become. Adherence is good enough that there is no shyness even when going out, and in the kids cafe, it is treated as a princess. It was obvious who he looked like.
He said quietly to Si-eun, who was folding clothes next to him.
“It seems that Hana is starting to look a lot like Honey. Afterwards, the boys may not be just crying.”
“When did you say I called a man?”
Si-eun, who is furious with sullen eyes. Of course it’s a joke.
Si-eun was also devoured as if it was a joke.
“But, it seems like you’re starting to resemble me.”
“right?”
“yes. If I looked like Honey, I would have been coding.”
“Even if it looked like me, a three-year-old would have coded it… … ?”
As soon as he asked the question, Si-eun smiled, as if it was funny.
Recently, the scenery in our house has always been similar.
Si-eun takes care of the chores while I play with Hana. When Si-eun takes care of Hana, I watch her happily.
Fortunately, one is having fun without her mother. In the past, there was a time when only mothers were favored. Now you love us all.
I am only very grateful to Hana who likes even the humble me.
After a while, Si-eun looked at me with a smile.
As we made eye contact, Si-eun’s mouth slowly opened.
“Do you think you are used to seeing children?”
Say everything you’re supposed to
“It’s time to get used to it. It’s been over two years.”
Two years and three months were not in vain. How to take care of a child, and what kind of tone to say. Now, in my head, my own standards and principles have been established.
Even if it sounds like such a simple thing, of course, I also had a new feeling.
Two years and three months after having a baby. We’ve been married for 3 years. It seemed like a long time had passed in the blink of an eye.
“It is.”
Si-eun, who gave her consent lightly, folded her clothes and put them in the box.
It looked like she was organizing her spring-autumn clothes. It’s been a long time since we’ve already entered winter, but I guess I suddenly felt the need to tidy up.
It was just as good as the day was.
Today is December 31, 2024. It was the last day of the year.
I stretched out in a sitting position.
“Gosh. This year is over.”
Si-eun also stopped her hand folding her clothes and stretched it out with a sigh.
“I know. It’s over already. This year seems to have gone by so quickly.”
“So do I. I guess it’s because there’s nothing special.”
I caress my chin and look back on the year.
To be sure, this year, only ordinary, ordinary life continued.
“Last year and last year, I suffered a lot to take care of one. This year, we are also used to parenting. It feels like every day went smoothly.”
“I know. Thinking back to last year… … I don’t know how I survived.”
Saying this, Si-eun shook her head.
I too have a similar feeling. When I recall the difficult times in the early days of child-rearing, the feeling of aching all over my body is revived.
Seeing that I could empathize with you, Si-eun stared at me.
Is there anything you want to say?
“why?”
When asked with a tilted eye, Si-eun shot a charming gaze.
“Thank you.”
A sudden thank you was thrown.
I don’t know English Confused, I asked.
“… … what?”
At my question, Si-eun covered her mouth and smiled.
“When I just gave birth to one. Hana kept waking up and crying.”
“Ugh. It did.”
It was definitely a tough time. It is a hardship that all parents go through, and we had no choice but to endure it. Looking back now, it was the best time for my body to suffer.
Thanks to you, I have learned many things from the beginning. How to change diapers. How to give formula milk from time to time. How to induce burping. And even the perception that raising a child is a difficult task.
However, at the time, it was difficult for me and Si-eun as well. Did I do something else to hear my thanks?
Si-eun raised her gaze and began to look at me as she was about to look at me with doubts.
I met those eyes directly.
Soon, Si-eun smiled.
“Obviously, I have to wake up after hearing Hana cry. There were times when I felt like I had slept for a long time.”
“ah.”
I had a quick sense of when I was referring to it. He just nodded without saying a word.
Si-eun closed her eyes and continued the story.
“When I woke up… … I was sleeping on the duvet in the couple’s room. Surprised, I went to the nursery. Honey, after taking care of one, it was a nightmare.”
“Ugh.”
Then I thought I’d talk about work.
It was the day Si-eun and I had the biggest fight ever. At dawn, I picked up Si-eun and took her to the couple’s room, and it was time to take care of Hana by myself.
Still, it wasn’t a kind of black history for Si-eun. I never thought I’d get it out of my own mouth.
When I answered with a smile, Si-eun opened her eyes and looked at me.
“Did you grow up and move it?”
“What.”
I felt embarrassed and scratched my head, which didn’t even tickle.
Si-eun tapped my back to see if she understood this as a positive.
“That is then. … … Actually, thank you so much. At the time, I couldn’t express it properly because I was worried about the honey.”
“Ugh. okay?”
It was just fortunate.
Of course, it was done with the intention of giving for Si-eun. It was moved to the couple’s room so that he could escape from Hana, who was constantly crying, even for a moment.
However, in the end, I thought it made Si-eun sad. I guess it wasn’t like that again. It has been more than two years, but even now, to hear Si-eun’s true intentions, joy blossomed.
Si-eun said as she organized her clothes again.
“He is a good husband. really.”
“Hmm,” he said, clearing his throat.
“no. Rather than being a good husband… … . just that Honey is very good at housework, so it’s hard for me to help. But parenting is something we’re both inexperienced with. I just wanted to do more.”
“Because he gave it for me with that kind of heart, he said he was a good husband.”
Si-eun just cut it and came to a conclusion.
That being said, I have nothing to say. It’s funny to say that my wife is a good husband, but it’s funny to argue against it. I decided to close my mouth.
Whatever the reason, I think I am a good husband to Si-eun. As I heard it from my in-laws, it didn’t seem like it was a simple pretense.
Before marriage, I was worried that I would disappoint Si-eun. I’m just glad that didn’t happen.
I don’t want to be seen being shy. I looked up at the ceiling and teased my mouth.
“Um, yes. Oh, I see.”
“I’m ashamed.”
why did you get caught
Si-eun chuckled loudly.
“Anyway, thank you for not changing after marriage.”
“Of course. Why are you doing that?”
“why? There are many stories like that. Before marriage, I thought my boyfriend was kind. They said they were wolves or monsters because they got married.”
“We lived together for a long time before we got married, didn’t you know?”
“There is a difference between living together and a married couple. Even more so if you go through the legal process.”
Si-eun had a serious expression on her face.
Of course it is different. I know it well. Forming a family is a law that carries that much weight. Besides, it is not easy to delay marriage. In a sense, it can be a shackle.
asked floatingly.
“Then you must have been very worried before marrying me?”
“yes. I wondered if I could really believe it, and I was worried about how much.”
“For something like that, you accepted it right away when I proposed it.”
“Not then. After the first confession, for a week before returning home.”
I wouldn’t have asked you to marry me back then.
Well, while accepting my confession, didn’t I even add the words, ‘I will live as a housekeeper for the rest of my life.’ If you think about it now, it must have been the answer that Si-eun came up with after a lot of thought.
“Did you even worry about living with me?”
“Of course. I thought I might have gone all the way. But, well, in the end, I decided that he would never be the man. In fact, they do better after marriage. I guess I was born to be a man.”
“what.”
Either way, it’s exaggerated. He shrugged his shoulders as if to purr.
It is questionable whether I did better after marriage. I was born with men’s clothes, but I don’t know that. If I had to ask, I think I might have been born with women’s clothes.
peck smiles and asks
“What if, after I got married, I showed my true face?”
Si-eun turned her head for a moment in response to a random question and stared straight at me.
“If that was the case, would you have called me right away?”
“To whom?”
Do you want to tell your mother? Or it could be my parents. If that’s not the case, is he trying to use his career as the student council president and give him disciplinary action at the school level?
“Who is it? of course.”
Silently muttering, Si-eun rummaged through her pockets and pulled out her wallet.
Then he took out a business card and held it out in front of me.
“Honey, you’re the boss of the company.”
“… … Why do you still have it?”
It was ridiculous and I burst out laughing.
Well, he’s not even my boss anymore. The moment Si-eun made a phone call, I would have been beaten straight away. Si-eun had a place to lean on.
However, since the 100-day incident, there has been no contact from the boss regarding Si-eun. Conversely, it can be interpreted that nothing has disappointed Si-eun so far.
I let out a deep sigh of relief.
While I was doing that, Si-eun suddenly uttered an uh-huh.
“what’s the matter?”
As soon as I asked, Si-eun smiled bitterly.
“Look at this.”
With these words, I took out the clothes I was organizing.
Seeing it, I, too, spit out a sound.
I had forgotten about its existence.
The clothes that Si-eun showed off… … It was a maid outfit.
A smile blooms in a happy heart. It felt like meeting a friend I hadn’t seen in years. … … I don’t have a friend like that.
“what. It’s been a long time.”
At my words, Si-eun turned the maid clothes back and forth and looked at them.
“I know. It’s been about three years. You haven’t worn it since you got married.”
“yes. Because I told you not to wear it on your honeymoon.”
I feel nostalgic At the same time, it also conveyed a somewhat emotional feeling. Gathering them together, they just smiled.
It was the beginning when Si-eun ordered her to wear a maid’s uniform, not long after she started living in the dub.
After that, Friday is the day to wear maid clothes. There was a time when these rules existed without knowing it.
Even after we started dating, for a while, no one told us to quit, so we kept going. Even during proposals and wedding preparations.
It was after the wedding that Si-eun stopped wearing maid clothes. Even if it’s only one day a week, wearing a maid outfit feels like a rather special play.
I hadn’t seen it in three years after that, so I thought I’d already threw it away.
“Did you still have this?”
When asked in surprise, Si-eun raised an eyebrow.
“Of course. How do I get rid of this?”
“why?”
Anyway, I won’t wear it again. It would be extremely inappropriate for both outdoor and indoor wear.
However, Si-eun held her in her arms as if it were a precious treasure.
“It’s the first gift you gave me.”
told me this
The first thing I gave Si-eun was a maid outfit. Of course, it’s not wrong, but somehow it feels like a special relationship.
It wasn’t, it was a very special relationship. From that point of view, this maid outfit was also a significant item that marked the beginning of us.
He didn’t hide the laughter that came out of his mouth.
“It wasn’t originally meant to be a present.”
“Still, I received it as a gift. I was annoyed when I received it, but… … It was pretty too. I didn’t like it very much.”
“really?”
To my question, Si-eun said yes, and gave a cool answer.
I should have done it Even though you said you don’t need to wear it, Goo Tae-yo, you can see that you declared that you would wear it once a week. It would be right to understand that there was a certain point of interest.
Anyway, to Si-eun, maid clothes seemed very precious. Si-eun unfolds the maid’s clothes, folds them neatly, and puts them neatly next to her.
“uh.”
Then, suddenly, he shrugged his shoulders and let out a short sound.
“what’s the matter?”
When I asked with my eyes closed, Si-eun looked as if she had thought of a joke.
“… … After a long time, shall we wear it?”
“What?”
The absurd story exploded in laughter. Si-eun followed after, and laughed. For some reason, one who was far away from the living room burst into laughter.
All three of them made fun of their mouths when they were able to laugh.
“I don’t think it would be very good for education if my mother wore it.”
“… … no?”
“Oh, no. It’s not that I don’t like it.”
Si-eun pouted her lips despite making a reasonable argument. Uh oh, why does it look shriveled? Did you really want to wear it, not just a joke?
Then Si-eun said with a stern tone.
“but. Because she is no longer a maid, but a wife. You can’t wear clothes like this in front of a child.”
“Um, right?”
After carefully agreeing, Si-eun exclaimed and turned her head.
“Okay. One dad.”
“… … One dad?”
Even the name was weird. Even though I just called her sweetheart. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
Anyway, considering one, the argument itself that I can’t wear it seems reasonable. Si-eun finally gave up and put her maid clothes in the box… … I thought it was, but for some reason, I took it out again.
Si-eun raised the corners of her lips as she stared at the scene.
“You can’t wear it in front of a child, right?”
“uh? What, right?”
“then.”
After saying that, Si-eun smiled like a goblin.
“Can I wear it at night?”
“Oh, no. Something to wear at night… … .”
“why? Wasn’t that a maid taste?”
“Even if not.”
I remember denying it several times, but why am I repeating that claim? I don’t have that kind of taste at all. Because I have a very normal taste. … … maybe.
As I was laughing at this conversation, Hana trudged back to me.
take a rough breath A large smile was painted on his lips. Did you defeat all the enemies with the toy train?
asked with a smirk.
“We are one. What have you been doing?”
“Train driving!”
“Ummm”
You drive the train in a pretty unusual way.
I was hesitating whether I should react or not, but one step closer.
“Dad!”
“yes. okay. why?”
Are you asking for a new toy? But now he had nothing in his hands. I’m trying to get up because I want to go to the nursery and bring some more toys.
One didn’t answer the question and walked right up to me.
He gave me a kiss on my cheek.
Then he raises his claws and speaks in his ear.
“Dad. I love you.”
“… … .”
At that one word, it felt like nerves all over my body were bursting at once.
Can such a lovely daughter exist? Seriously, I must be a blessed father.
At the same time, I also kissed one cheek.
“Fufufu. Daddy loves you too.”
“Hi-Hi!”
One let out a pleasant laugh and left again to drive the train.
Again, two years and three months was not in vain.
Those times when I loved my child and was loved by him were invaluable to me.
“They’re good friends.”
Si-eun, who was looking at us like this, expressed her feelings from the side.
“right?”
“yes. It’s to the extent that Honey makes the same sound fufufufufu. I can feel how much Hana and Honey love each other.”
Si-eun smiles and talks.
It’s a bit shameful that I shed an eerie laughter saying “fufufufu”. Well, it’s a natural expression to love a child. what to do
It was an unimaginable change when I think back to my old self.
Having a loved one, having a lover, having a wife, and having a daughter… … . Slowly, but noticeably. I have been growing
But somehow I guess I have a bad personality.
Hearing this from Si-eun, the playfulness started.
As I raised the corners of my lips.
“Um~ It’s good to be loved by my daughter, but I also want to be loved by my wife.”
“… … What?”
Si-eun looks at me with narrowed eyes.
He looked straight at me and said.
“I feel sad because I don’t seem to be able to express myself well.”
“What did you say. You expressed it just a few minutes ago. He even called me a good husband.”
He pouts his lips with a disgruntled face. He even provoked a sense of fear when he even shot a piercing gaze.
It was just as Si-eun said. Until recently, you’ve been expressing your love to me. Hearing this all of a sudden will make you wonder.
Of course, it’s not my business.
“yes? when?”
Si-eun pretends not to know and smokes other things. “What?” and stared at me. With scary, terrifying eyes.
Again, that’s a funny reaction.
It’s even more fun when you joke around with this kind of reaction. Besides, since Si-eun is not honest, this kind of prank sometimes becomes spice. Even if I was afraid of the aftermath, I decided not to back down.
A snowball fight, like a tug-of-war, continues for a while.
In the end, Si-eun got up first.
“really.”
Si-eun, who was fighting like this, slowly approached me in front of me.
Is it because I’m angry? His expression and eyes were sharp. Perhaps he sensed the aura revolving around Si-eun, and Hana had already evacuated to the other side.
Soon, Si-eun took a deep breath.
“I am.”
spit out these words
After holding the long hair by the ear.
He kissed my cheek.
An electric current flowed through the place where the lips touched.
Let alone kissing, I have experienced a higher level of work than that, but when I receive this kind of aegyo, I feel supremely satisfied.
He was so drunk with happiness that his whole body staggered.
“… … Are you okay now?”
Si-eun asks with her cheeks dyed rosy.
Toward the very cute face, I also answered with a bright smile.
“Do you mean I love you?”
“What?”
Si-eun frowned and shot dissatisfied eyes.
Seeing the bitter eyes makes me want to avoid them naturally. But this time, he decided not to run away. He endured the fear and endured it.
This also didn’t last long.
Si-eun, who had been grumbling alone, turned her head and muttered.
“… … I love you.”

Made me cry like thisAs if to answer this, I cried out in a loud voice.
“yes! I love you too!”
“Noisy… … .”
Si-eun dyes her ears red and gets angry.
This reaction was just fun for me.
Also… … I had a bit of a bad personality.
