170 – Episode 169: Family (Complete)
＜1＞
As it was a long-awaited summer vacation, I came to Gangneung for a family trip.
Her wife seemed very happy to be going on a family trip that she had promised when she was a college student.
Of course, the children smiled happily as soon as they arrived at the sea.
“It’s the sea!”
“Wow!”
As soon as the twins stepped on the sand, they cheered.
We spread out our parasols on the beach, and just before entering the sea, we were reminded of the precautions again.
“What did Dad tell you never to do?”
“Never act alone! Do not take off your life jacket! “Don’t be separated from your dad again!”
“That’s right! No matter what happens, I’m sticking with my dad. Got it?! “Eunbyul can’t play alone just because she’s grown up?!”
“Yes~”
I don’t know how many times I talked to my kids about safety rules for today.
My wife sat under the parasol with Geumbyul, and I put the kids on the boat tube and went into the sea.
It was a very shallow place, but since we were children, we could never let our guard down.
“Wow! “It’s so much fun!”
“Right~? Now, let’s get off the boat one by one, starting with Eunbyeol.”
“Yes~”
Eunbyeol got off the boat first and entered the sea.
Eunbyeol, smiling brightly as the sea water was cool, held onto my arm tightly.
After the twins got off one by one, the four of them held hands and enjoyed the sea.
It was just floating around, but every single one of the kids was happy and squealing.
“Now~ Let’s say hello to mom~”
Everyone raised their hands high and waved, and my wife and Geumbyeol, who were under the parasol, also waved.
From time to time, Geumbyeol and her wife also had a good time dipping their feet in the sea water.
Every single one of the children smiled brightly, but as time went by, my stamina was rapidly depleting.
The water play, which seemed like it would never end, ended and we headed to a restaurant near the sea.
“Huh? “This place has been turned into a meat restaurant?”
When we arrived in front of the restaurant, her wife blurted out something incomprehensible.
“Honey. Don’t you remember this place? “We ate clams here ten years ago.”
“Ah! Was this where it was?”
I took a quick look at the scenery behind the store, and it was truly the same scenery as before.
“Have Mom and Dad been here?”
“Yes. “I came here with my mom and dad when I was a college student.”
“A lot of time has passed. “Is that already ten years ago?”
“Honey. Let’s go in. Now, you guys, let’s go in. “You shouldn’t make a fuss~”
“Yes~”
After taking a seat inside the store, I immediately ordered meat.
My meals took a backseat because I was taking care of the kids first, but the kids probably felt sorry for me so they wrapped some wraps and put them in my mouth.
“Dad~ Ah~ Do it~”
I enjoyed the wraps my eldest daughter gave me.
Now that I think about it, I remembered that when I came with her wife ten years ago, her wife put a prawn in my mouth.
The expression on her wife’s face as she fed me all her petrified food, saying it was good for a man, appeared in her mind.
As I chuckled, her wife, who was sitting across from her, smiled happily and said,
“Honey~ Why are you smiling all of a sudden?”
“I suddenly remembered the time you fed me the crab.”
“Do you still remember that~?”
“Of course~ It’s my first trip with you~”
“We were young back then~”
“You are just as pretty now as you were then.”
“Huh~ It feels good to hear those words.”
I couldn’t think about a wedding while raising children, and it was difficult for a couple to go on a trip alone.
She had hinted that she might as well have a wedding, even if it was late, but she was the kind of wife who waved her hand and said it was okay.
She was a wife who said that, but she must have had moments she dreamed of as a woman.
It’s just that she couldn’t afford it because she was raising her children.
But I guess it’s okay now that I have some spare time and my kids are growing up healthy.
“Dad~ Ah~”
This time, her younger daughter put an end to her thoughts by bringing me some ssam.
After she ate her fill of meat, she left the restaurant together and walked to her dorm.
“Guys~ Did you enjoy your meal?”
“Yes~ I ate a lot!”
“Okay~ Well done~”
After finishing the meal, she went to a cafe with a view of the beach and had dessert together.
The sunset seen outside the window was truly spectacular and captured the children’s attention.
Even Geumbyeol, who was in her wife’s arms, was looking at the sunset.
“Honey. It’s even better because we all come together with the kids. It’s so pretty.”
Her wife also said something while looking at the sunset.
However, whether she was or is now, it was not the scenery outside the window that captured my attention, but my wife.
“Yes. She’s still pretty.”
＜2＞
On the way back to the accommodation after watching the sunset, the children pointed to something with their fingers.
“Mom. Dad-! “That’s where I won first place in the lottery!”
“How much do you get if you win the lottery? “Can I buy a tiger?”
“You idiot – what are you going to do by buying a tiger? Are you going to raise it at home?”
“Yes! “I’m going to buy a tiger and tell it to eat you!”
“What?! Then I’ll buy a dolphin and tell it to eat you!”
It was the twins who were bickering again.
But at one point, Eunbyeol sang along with me.
“Both of you, be quiet before you get eaten by me.”
“Yes… “
I was about to pass by, but Geumbyeol was shaking in her wife’s arms.
“Awww-!”
“Ego- Geumbyeol is also interested in the lottery~? Honey. Should I just buy one on the way?”
“Is it because it happens to be Saturday?”
The children were looking at the conversation between me and her wife with bright eyes.
Is it because he resembles me? These were children who liked money more than expected.
In the end, I went into the lottery room, bought a 5,000 won automatic lottery ticket, and came back.
The children gathered together to look at the lottery tickets and fiddle with them as if they were curious.
“Guys. Should I touch it carefully? “It’s a paper that could be worth 1.3 Billion in a few hours.”
“What can you do with 1.3 Billion won?”
In response to Hanbyeol’s question, I smiled and said.
“Hanbyul can do anything he wants.”
“Wow! Awesome!”
“So what do you guys want to do if you win the lottery?”
Each of the children gave different answers to my wife’s words.
First, her eldest daughter, Eunbyul, spoke.
“I’m going to buy gold.”
“Huh? Why?”
“That means the value of the currency will fall, right?”
“Where on earth do you learn such things?”
“On the news.”
She was the eldest daughter who gave answers that were not typical of an elementary school student.
She should have shown me more cartoons when she was younger.
On the other hand, the twins gave a more interesting answer.
“I’m going to buy a robot to ride around the children’s home. A beam comes out of your hand. And the sky is just flying around. Defeat the villain.”
Hanbyeol became obsessed with a movie she recently saw, so her interests shifted from cars to robots.
It’s a bit problematic to keep blocking the path of the robot vacuum cleaner moving around the house…
Last time, he said he also wanted a sensor and asked me to disassemble the robot vacuum cleaner.
“What about Morning Star?”
“I want to raise a puppy!”
“Oh-what kind of dog do you want to raise? Do you have any dog breeds in mind?”
“It’s a Doberman!”
“Do, Doberman… ?”
“Or Shepherd.”
She is my daughter, but her tastes are very unique.
But she couldn’t raise a dog because she lived in an apartment.
“But unfortunately, we can’t raise a dog because we live in an apartment.”
“It’s okay. “For 1.3 Billion won, you can move to a house where you can raise a dog, right?”
I was surprised that she even thought about it that far.
“What does our Geumbyeol want to do?”
“Awww-!”
After hearing Geumbyeol’s answer, we returned to the accommodation.
I washed the children first and then I washed myself.
“Baby. I washed everything. “You go wash up too.”
“Yes. I will be back. “Please hold the gold star here~”
“Yes. “Geumbyeol, come to daddy~”
“Aww!”
After holding Geumbyeol in her arms, she sat down on the bed.
“Dad! “When will I find out if I win the lottery?”
“Huh? “What time is it?”
“It’s 8:30!”
“Oh – we will be broadcasting live soon. Now~ Let’s all watch the broadcast with big dreams~”
At my words, the children sat down next to me and watched TV together.
After the story about the previous round ended, the real lottery broadcast began.
“It begins… !”
All the children were quietly watching the television.
There was no way they could win the lottery that easily, but the children were full of anticipation.
-Today’s draw will begin. Regardless of the order in which the balls come out, you win if you get a number. The lottery begins. The first lucky number is… That’s number 1!
“It’s number 1! Sister. “Is there number 1?!”
At Saetbyul’s words, Eunbyul stared at the lottery ticket.
But she soon let out a deep sigh and shook her head.
“Nothing… “
“aaah – it’s a waste!”
“My… My robot… !”
“Doberman… !”
Even though the children were frustrated, the lottery continued.
“It’s okay~ Basically, lottery tickets are bought once for fun. Let’s win next time~”
I comforted the children, thinking it would be a fun experience.
Eventually, when the last bonus number came out, Eunbyeol’s hands suddenly started shaking.
“Hey… dad… !”
“Huh? “Why Eunbyeol?”
“What is the bonus number?”
“Ah, if you get five numbers right and the bonus number right, you get second place~”
“If you come in second place… How much is it… ?”
Eunbyeol looked at me with fluttering under her eyes.
“Daughter… ? What’s the matter… ?”
“Am I seeing it wrong?” ? Looks like 2nd place… ?”
“Ah~ What is that…?” !”
“Look… !”

I compared the number Eunbyeol gave me with the number on her television screen.
Cold sweat ran down my cheek and landed on Geumbyeol’s forehead.
“Aww-?”
And soon, I too froze with my mouth wide open.
The children also froze on the bed when they saw the paper I was holding.
Eventually, my wife came out of the bathroom, saw us, and asked.
“Why are you doing this?”
I carefully entrusted Geumbyul, who was on my leg, to Eunbyul.
And slowly walked to where her wife was.
“Honey?”
“Baby.”
“What’s wrong?”
I smiled brightly and said what was in my head.
“Let’s have a wedding.”
“Suddenly?!”
