My girlfriend is so good to me-Episode 155

Ep. 155

Finally, the day came to leave for training camp. I could barely sleep the night before..

I spend time with my friends the day before, and with my family afterwards, and play with Sarang as much as possible..

On the last night, Heena and I spent most of the night in bed, hugging each other and talking..

It's not about anything special, just about plans like where to go for fun after training or where to go this winter..

Although I got some sleep late, it was only about two hours. But I wasn't as tired as I thought due to the tension and heart palpitations..

I quietly came out of the room so as not to wake Heena, and washed my body leisurely. Somehow it didn't feel real. The fact that I won't be in this house starting tomorrow.

"Take care of yourself. Just do what everyone else does."

"Yes, health is the most important thing. I wanted to go with my dad too.."

"Yes, I will. No, Dad. Why should I go to work and go to training camp? My brothers all went too.."

After washing up, I talked for a while with my father-in-law and my dad. My dad stopped by early in the morning before going to work..

They both said they would use their annual leave to go together, but I declined. My brothers all went to the military, but there was no need for the whole family to go. Even after just 5 weeks of training, I could immediately commute to work..

Moreover, there was no room for two more people in the car. There are six people who go to the training center with me..

Hee-seong, who already used his annual leave to volunteer to be a driver, Hee-na, Sarangi, my mother-in-law, my mother, and me, who also used their annual leave..

"Oh my... what happens to Sarang when my son-in-law leaves??"

"I brought ice cream in the icebox.."

"You probably don't even have the energy to watch it because you're crying? Sister, the last time I opened and slept there for a day, I saw how much Sarang found it.."

"Still, I have to try it. I can't let my son go.."

"That's it though..."

The two of you are more worried about love than me. Well, I was worried too. It's a good thing if it's just a tearful look or a little cry..

Lastly, I checked the contents of the bag I left in the living room one more time, sat in the living room, and calmed my mind..

Actually, there was nothing special about the luggage. An ID card, a watch, a few toiletries that don't overlap with the initial supply, etc. And the most important family photos.

Most of them were pictures of Heena and Sarangi. I focused on family photos taken of the three of us together. No matter how tough the training camp is, you will be able to endure it when you see these two faces. maybe.

As I sat listening to the adults talking, Heena came out of the room, taking Sarangi with her..

Sarang must have barely woken up, her eyes were more than half closed and her mouth was pursed..

"Oh my... Sarah... wants to sleep....."

"I'll wash up with my love and come out."

"huh. There’s still plenty of time, so take it slow."

"...I want to come out quickly and be with you.."

"okay."

Heena's face didn't look very good. She was fine until they talked in the night, but when she opened her eyes, she seemed to be uneasy again..

When I saw Hee-na and Sarang's faces again in the morning, I became very confused. The reality that I would not be able to see my cute daughter or pretty wife for five weeks began to become more and more clear to me..

While I was sitting stiffly, feeling like my fingertips were getting cold, Hee-seong, who had gone out to take the car for a while, came back..

"Hey, I pulled out the car in front. Are you mentally okay??"

"So so."

"but. Is your mentality the problem? Love with Lee Hee-na is a mental problem.."

"Ha... I have to work hard even on the phone. You said you could do it once a week??"

"That also happens every regiment. If you are lucky, you may be able to do more, but if you are not, you may only be able to do it once or twice during the entire period.."

"How was your brother??"

"I did it once. There's a kid who got into an accident. I was so unlucky."

"......"

Don't ask.

I asked for no reason, but my heart only became heavier. This broke her barely maintained composure, and she sighed heavily..

---

When the time came, everyone who had to go to work went to work, and after receiving a phone call from my brothers and sister-in-law telling us to work hard, we got in the car and headed to the training center..

We didn't say a word to each other on the way. I tend to get motion sickness a lot, so everyone knew that and deliberately didn't tell me anything..

Sarangi, probably still very sleepy, was fast asleep on my lap, and Heena was holding my hand, leaning her head on my shoulder. Be strong, strong.

And when I arrived at the place that took over two hours, there were countless men like me with shaved heads walking down the street with their families or lovers. It seemed like soldiers, who are usually hard to see, were also kicked..

There was no tension anymore. There was only resignation. I thought, “I’m really going.”.

There were so many people that I wondered how I would park, but the parking space was much larger than I expected. Thanks to that, we quickly parked and headed towards the enlistment event venue..

"Son, do you want to go out and eat something??"

"Are you saying the food sold here is not tasty? That's why I came here leisurely, well. Let's just go right away."

"Baby, aren't you hungry? What if I have a hard time later?..."

"Hey, you don't even train the first week. I force myself to eat it and get sick.."

"They say so. don't worry too much."

"Let's go again with Dad! hair spiky!"

Sarang, who must have woken up a bit, was pointing here and there and smiling. There are tons of people with similar haircuts so she would be amazed to see them.

And as we got closer to the enlistment event site, there were more and more people. If you're not careful, you could fall apart..

So I walked along with my brother, holding Sarang with one arm and holding Heena's hand with the other..

"Dad! There are so many people!"

"That's right~ Dad, hold on tight, okay??"

"yes!"

The place we arrived at after wading through the crowd was like a large soccer field. There were tiered stands to the north, south, east and west of the green grass stadium, and only after arriving there could we sit under the shade..

Glancing around, I noticed that other training camp classmates also looked nervous. I'm smiling among my family, but it feels like the smile isn't really laughter..

While holding Sarang in my arms, I talked a little more with Heena. This was the last time to talk.

Because it was the middle of summer and the weather was hot, there was no enlistment event today. They said you can wait here and go in when called..

"Baby, don't ever get hurt... ever. Understand?"

"of course. I will definitely take care of my body first.."

"I will always have my phone with me, so please call me when you can.."

"huh. I'll definitely do it to you first."

"They said I could write a letter right here and send it, so I'll write it here and again when I get home.."

"Now that I think about it, this is my first time exchanging letters with you. I should have tried something like this."

My mother, mother-in-law, and Heeseong stayed silent while we talked. Sarang was busy looking around her while she was in my arms..

Meanwhile, Heena continued talking. She said the same words dozens of times until this morning..

"Since it will be fall when I return, the three of us will go on an outing again. go to the amusement park..."

"If there are any places you want to go, write them down. I go to everything every weekend."

"Since he will be working on weekdays, I will also make breakfast for him from now on.."

"Uh... well, you must be tired... no. Please do it. It’s been a while since I want to eat the kimchi stew you made.."

"and..."

Words mixed with tears continue to flow out. I felt like crying if I said it to his face, so I focused my gaze on the green grass field in front of him..

But soon, Heena couldn't hold it back and started sobbing..

"And... Ugh... I don't know... Just... take care... come back quickly......"

"don't worry. Time will pass quickly. I'll be right back."

The tip of my nose twitched. Five weeks is not a long time at all. But for us, it was our first long separation..

"Mom, why are you looking up to me?...?"

Sarang must have felt a strange atmosphere somewhere, as he looked at me and Heena with an anxious face..

And at that moment, there was a buzz around and people slowly started moving one by one. On the LED display board at the top of the stand was the phrase “Time to say goodbye.”.

Seeing that, I spoke to Sarang as gently as possible..

"my love."

"Dad, you won’t answer when Mom cries...."

"Sarang, Dad is going somewhere for a moment... Sarang can listen to Mom and be good.?"

"dad? Where do we go, dad?"

"huh. Dad, I'll go somewhere for a moment and sleep for a few nights.."

"What are you talking about? Sarang wants to go too! Sarang wants to go with dad too!"

Sarang seemed to instinctively feel that this situation was not just a one-night stand. She immediately turned around, grabbed my clothes with both hands, and started lashing out..

I stroked Sarang’s face and gave her a light kiss on the cheek..

"Isn’t our love kind? If Sarang listens to mom and eats well, dad will come back soon.."

"It's so sad... Dad, don't go... Love is also worth it.!"

Actually, I'm not sure if this is the right method. Would it have been better to just lie and pretend to have gone somewhere for a moment and then leave?.

But that seemed a bit of a cowardly method. Because it was no different from running away because I didn't want to see my love cry. If I suddenly disappeared without knowing anything, Sarang would cry even more sadly..

Sarangi, who was raising her voice in frustration, soon began to cry loudly..

He is only four years old. They didn't explain the situation properly, and I'm not old enough to understand that..

Still, I felt like I knew. I know that we won't be able to see each other for a long time, which feels like a long time for me and Heena, and an even longer time for Sarang..

"Don’t go!! Aaaaaaaaa!!! Oh my!!! Dad, tell me not to go.!!!!"

Except when I was very young, I had never seen Sarang cry so loudly. She almost always had me or other family members by her side, and since Sarang was so kind, we never had to scold her too much..

When I saw this, my heart became weak and felt like it would break..

"Dad, I promise. Forty nights. Because love is smart, you know how long 40 nights are, right? After 40 nights of sleep, my father will come back to hug me with love.."

"Dad!!! Love and values, hibb... gaaa... ugh... love... ugh... chakage... I'll speak to you kindly... Abaaaa... don't go.!!!"

"Our love is always kind. huh? Dad, I'll be back for a moment.."

"Go, don’t go... Abba, don’t go..!!!"

"Oh my, our love..."

He grabs my clothes, buries his face in my arms, cries and blows, shouting at me not to go. I patted Sarang on the back and tried to comfort her as much as possible..

But there isn't much time left for that. Gradually, there were fewer people around, and trainees who had not yet arrived began to hear voices telling them to come..

I had no choice but to send Sarangi to Heesung's older brother or mother-in-law, but Heena reached out to me from next to me..

Heena's eyes were bright red as she continued to sob, but she was still smiling..

"babe. Give me love I'll comfort you."

"Yes, thank you. I'll be back soon."

"As I said before, never get hurt... Love, come here. To mom."

"Sear!!!!! Daddy!!!! Don't go!!!!"

Heena forcefully took Sarangi, who was screaming as if she was screaming. Hee-seong helped her older brother let go of her side, holding her as if he were going to tear her clothes off..

"Hey, don't go out unnecessarily, just do it in moderation.."

"That's what I specialize in."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Ahn Dae!!!! Dad!!!!!!"

There was no more time to waste. For the last time, I kissed Sarang's face, which was covered in tears, and gave Heena a brief kiss on her lips. My family was watching around me, but it didn't bother me at all at this moment..

And with that brief kiss, I grabbed my bag and ran downstairs. She's already quite late so hurry up.

"Dad!!!!!! It's bad!!!! I'm going with Abba.!!!!!!!"

Sarang’s tearing voice was still heard in my ears. My heart was heavy because I was crying more desperately than I could have imagined. It was so heavy that it felt like it would crush me..

But now I had no choice but to hope that Heena and other family members would comfort me..

Perhaps Sarang's voice could be heard even downstairs, but the person who appeared to be a teaching assistant didn't say anything but pointed inside with a nod telling her to go in quickly..

When I ran inside, there were many fellow trainees crouching in rows and rows..

"I quickly find a seat and sit down.!!!"

There was an instructor yelling at me..

That's how my training camp life came to an end..
