Shit
I poured alcohol into a small soju glass, made a silent toast, then turned around and poured it all out in one sip. It felt like something really intoxicating. It's not that I drink a lot and I become a nerd, but I get drunk and I get intoxicated by the atmosphere of drinking while enjoying the silence in the middle of the morning..
For a while, we just drank without talking much. Now that I think about it, I don't think she ever drank alone with her father-in-law. There have been times when we were alone for a moment before drinking together, but we have never been alone together like this..
Basically, whenever I drink, Heena is always right next to me. After graduating from college, she rarely drank unless it was at a company dinner or with family. It was hard to even see the faces of her friends..
Besides, it wasn't uncomfortable at all to be alone like this. Normally, it wasn't a very comfortable position for a son-in-law, but I've lived in this house for 8 years already. And it's been 10 years since I first said hello to my father-in-law..
I hate to say this, but I felt more comfortable with my father-in-law than with any of my relatives except my parents. We spent so much time together that it was inevitable..
"It's later."
"yes. Please speak."
How much time passed and how much did you drink? I'm not sure, but while I was leisurely drinking, my father-in-law called my name. It’s been a long time since you called me by my name, Yeonhoo, rather than son-in-law..
My father-in-law sat on the floor, leaning back on the sofa, fiddling with his glass with one hand as he spoke..
"4Years... no, I'm staying here for about 5 more years.."
"yes."
"I'd better be independent by then."
"......"
Squeak
My father-in-law spoke calmly and poured alcohol into his glass again. I was never told not to waste my time here and to quickly leave because it would be difficult to live together. It couldn't be such a stupid reason..
Because we were family. Even though we are not related by blood, I can proudly say that they are my family wherever I go..
Moreover, the fact that he had a bitter expression on his face as he spoke means that those five years were too short a time for my father-in-law..
It seemed like he was already feeling lonely about breaking up with Heena, Sarang, our future happiness, and me..
"It would be nice if we could continue living together, but if we start a family, we can't stay together like this forever. Don't get too used to us being around."
"yes."
"When happiness grows up, this house will also be small.."
While saying this, he glances around the quiet house. It's difficult for me to guess exactly what his inner thoughts are coming out of his vague eyes, but I thought that Heesung was probably looking at his brother's empty spot..
Children will eventually leave their parents, and although Sarang has made the family lively without his older brother, the empty space in the family can never be replaced by anything..
And I was silently listening to my father-in-law's words. Coincidentally, the conversation I had with my father when I visited my parents' house today was also about our independence..
The reason for doing so was the same as what you just said. Living together, I received so much help in every way, and it was very comfortable, but I couldn't do this for the rest of my life..
We had to learn to stand on our own.
My father-in-law also smiled and nodded at my reaction, which I accepted calmly without much agitation..
"Maybe later on you will have something in mind too.."
"Yes... Actually, I talked a little bit with my father when I stopped by my parents' house today. I don't know exactly when, but I think it will have to happen.."
"okay? Hehe, there was something that connected with me.."
I exchanged drinks with my father-in-law. The coming future will certainly be lonely, but it is by no means a bad thing. It was the kind of future that we would naturally face if we lived each day happily like now without any major problems..
"I heard from Heena that she has been working hard to collect it. She must have had a lot of things she wanted to do... so bad."
"no. Of course it should be. Because I am also the head of the family.."
"okay. yes. It may sound old-fashioned, but it's the right thing to do. Because you, like me and my brother, are the head of the family with responsibility for your family.."
I did work hard. Heena and I both saved most of the rest of our money except for the minimum amount needed..
Of course, he didn't just cherish it very much, he took Sarang out to various places and spent time with his family, but he never wasted it..
Actually, I didn't even think it was that difficult. For me, my family came first above all else, and it was something I had to do for the future of my family..
I have had conversations like this with Heena from time to time, and of course, Heena felt the same way as me..
No, he was thinking about my family even more than me. Heena was always like that. I have considered myself and my love more important than anything else in the world..
always. Heena was always like that. And for Heena, I have always thought about how she can keep up with it..
Luckily, I had a way to do that..
"I heard your thoughts, so let’s stop talking about the difficult stuff. 'Cause there's still some time."
"yes. By the way, are you okay with going to work tomorrow? I think you're eating too much."
"Huh, who are you worried about? I still have no problem drinking all night long.!"
"No... won't I get scolded by my mother-in-law or Heena and cause trouble??"
"That's right..."
In order not to wake my family, I looked at my father-in-law and laughed while keeping my voice quiet..
It was still far away, but it was getting closer. The moment when we have to escape this warmth and comfort and face life as just the four of us..
After confirming my pregnancy, I had a busy day every day. Not only do I visit the obstetrician and gynecologist every week, but I also reminisce about old memories and check baby supplies more carefully..
And whenever Heena tried to do something, he would immediately take it away. No matter how much I told her to rest and that I would do everything, Heena couldn't stay still, so she ended up mobilizing her love..
"Dad! Mom went to wash the dishes!"
"what?! Heena! I said I was doing it!!"
"Honey, you're folding laundry right now. Washing dishes is okay~"
"no! my love! Suppress mom.!"
"huh!!"
"Oh my~"
If you see Heena going to the kitchen or cleaning, etc., you should report it to me immediately. And the spy, Sarangi, was playing her role well..
These days, one of Sarang's hobbies is putting her ear to Heena's stomach and listening to the sounds, so she makes sure to check it whenever I'm doing something else for a while..
As we spent each day trying to keep Heena as calm as possible, as Heena's stomach began to grow little by little, we were finally able to find out Happy's gender..
"Hehehe, it's my son after all~ I think he looks exactly like me!"
"Well then! Love is now my sister?"
"huh. Sarang is my older sister. Sarang will have to work hard to be a good older sister to Haengbok.."
"yes! I will study hard and become a good older sister.!"
"our love is so kind~"
Is it your son?.
I couldn't imagine anything more. When it comes to love, won’t it just resemble Heena? All I could think was, what on earth would it be like to have a son who looks like me? Of course, even if it is a son, he may resemble Heena..
And Heena was very happy when she found out that it was her son. It's not because she likes her son more than her daughter, but because she and Hee-sung feel the same happiness in their brother-sister relationship with her older brother..
"What do we do? I really want to see our happiness together.!"
Well... I guess I just wanted to see Mini Yeonhu..
Other than the overall excited atmosphere in the house, there was nothing much different from usual. Although her family is all concerned about Heena's physical condition, she is very good at taking care of herself..
Besides, Heena's emotional ups and downs weren't that big this time. The problem is that she keeps trying to do her housework, and she doesn't seem as unstable as she did with her first pregnancy..
of course.
"Baby, I want some grapes."
"okay? Heesung wants to call his brother... Oh, no, really.."
Although there were times when I would suddenly ask for something like this, as if I had a craving for something..
ah! I miss you, Heeseong hyung.!
Anyway, other than that, it was really just everyday life. Because she is worried about Heena's body, it is not easy for her to enjoy something special..
Of course, that didn't stop us from missing out on the seasonal events our family enjoys every year. At the end of Sarang's summer vacation, we went to enjoy the sea breeze for a while and visited the zoo in the fall..
The whole family used their annual leave to participate in the elementary school sports day with Sarang. Sarang also resembled me in that respect, so her motor skills were not bad either..
But honestly, Sarang gives strength to those around her just by smiling, so her mere presence would have been a great help to the team. I don't think so because I'm a loser..
And in the winter, I went to a sledding hill. This is something Heena has been promoting every year for about four years, so it has also become an annual event..
Around this time, Heena's stomach started to become more noticeable, and because of that, Heena mainly took pictures, but she seemed happy enough with that alone..
After that, the year passed, the three of us enjoyed a joint birthday party, and spring returned in full force..
So time passed.
Perhaps because we have already passed this road once, we are more stable than before, helping each other without any problems..
Me and Heena’s second child.
I was able to give birth to happiness.
