    With a deep frown, I was slightly taken aback by the question of choosing between us and a red panda. Could she really be jealous of a red panda onesie?

    Heena''s jealousy had been expanding in a strange way as time went by. Now she was even jealous of objects. Or maybe it was similar at the beginning of our relationship, but back then she might have just kept it to herself.

    I think something similar happened about two years ago. Was it when we went to the zoo? I was crazy about the red panda.

    Anyway, I was momentarily baffled by the sudden question of choosing between us or the red panda, but well. She’s cute, so it''s fine.

    And seeing that cute expression, I couldn''t help but feel a bit mischievous. So I decided to play a little prank.

    "Well, today, for some reason, it feels like it''s the red—"

    —Burning intensely

    "—there''s no way. Of course, it''s you."

    I quickly retracted under Heena''s fiery gaze. It felt like if I wasn''t careful, we''d skip the date and head straight to the hotel.

    Actually, Heena''s condition had stabilized a lot, so whenever her mother took Sarang for the night, we would often stay up late. Since we couldn''t do it as often as before Sarang was born, we did it as much as possible when we could.

    Going somewhere we didn’t have to worry about being interrupted and enjoying ourselves wasn''t bad either, but since we hadn''t been out together in a long time, it seemed a waste to spend all the time on just that.

    "So, should I go with a cat? Honestly, I also wanted to take a family photo with the three of us. We can get the red panda next time."

    Honestly, the red panda appealed to me about seven times more than the cat, but since Sarang''s mom wanted it so badly, I had no choice but to concede. Besides, the cat onesie was also extremely cute.

    However, Heena''s expression did not soften.

    "Hmph, if you like the red panda that much, just go with the red panda! If you like the red panda more than us!"

    "Hey, why are you like this~ Of course, I like you and Sarang much more~"

    "I don''t think so?"

    "When you smile, you''re a thousand times cuter than a red panda. So, please relax."

    Saying that, I glanced around and gave Heena a quick kiss on the lips. We couldn''t do it openly here, as it would be a nuisance.

    However, Heena glared at me as if to say she wouldn''t be so easily appeased.

    "This won''t convince me."

    "Then what?"

    "Do it once more for Sarang''s share!"

    "Oh, I forgot Sarang''s share!"

    —Smooch!

    When I gave her another kiss, I finally saw Heena''s smile. I should give Sarang her share when we get back. I’ll do it ten times.

    Anyway, if it’s this kind of cute jealousy, I’d love to see it a few more times. It makes my heart flutter, so it feels good.

    Although she easily gets jealous of various things, she also quickly calms down, which is very cute. After receiving kisses like this, she wouldn''t even mind if we bought both a cat onesie and a red panda onesie.

    "Then let''s pay for this with Sarang''s card, and I’ll buy the red panda onesie with my money separately..."

    "No."

    "Yes, ma''am."

    Noted.

    After picking out the cat onesie, we browsed various other items but didn''t buy anything else. We already had a lot of essential items, thanks to the collective effort of the whole family, so buying cute things for Sarang was the limit.

    While browsing in a bag store, Heena called me over to look at a laptop bag.

    "Do you need a laptop bag?"

    "No, I’m fine. Our laptop is so small that I can just put it in a bag with books."

    "That’s the one I used to use... Isn’t it uncomfortable? It seems a bit small for you."

    "I thought so too, but it’s actually really convenient because it’s small. It’s so light, easy to carry around. Even though it’s small, I can still type on it."

    "Really? Hmm~ Maybe I should get a similar one when I go back to school."

    "A friend told me that the next generation of our laptop is out. It’s even lighter."

    I was using the laptop that Heena had previously used. Once Heena goes back to school, we’ll need another one.

    Honestly, I thought it wouldn''t be necessary to have a laptop for class, but that thought was shattered within the first week of lectures.

    A laptop was essential. Taking notes was much easier and more convenient, and there were so many times I needed to search for things during lectures.

    "Then the same model as yours should be a bit cheaper, right? How about we get the same one but in a different color and be a couple?"

    "Do we really need to match even with laptops...? We don''t have any overlapping classes. You should get one that suits you best."

    "But still~ When Sarang gets a little older, we could take her to a cafe? and study together, you know~"

    "Do we need matching items when we have Sarang?"

    "...You''re right."

    Having the epitome of our relationship sitting next to us was enough. Matching laptops couldn''t possibly mean more than Sarang.

    "If you really want to match, let’s match the covers. I was thinking of getting one anyway."

    "That’s a great idea! Yes, let’s do that!"

    Heena clapped her hands in delight at my suggestion, and we continued to browse through some other bags before leaving the store.

    Afterward, we visited a nearby clothing store, tried on clothes together, and as usual, we ended up buying a couple of chicken skewers from a street vendor.

    Whenever we went on dates, we would always buy one or two of these skewers because I liked them so much. Heena knew this and would always ask if I wanted one whenever we saw them.

    But there was one difference from before.

    "This is the last one. Eating more won’t be good for your health!"

    She now directly worried about my health and wouldn’t let me eat too much. I liked having one or two as a snack, not to fill my stomach, so I didn’t mind.

    In the past, she never stopped me if I wanted to eat more, but now she often put a brake on it.

    I appreciated her concern, so I always listened to her.

    After passing by the street vendors, we reached a large intersection where a store caught my eye.

    [Adult Shop]

    I was surprised the moment I noticed the sign. I never imagined there would be such a blatant adult store on this busy street.

    It was located on the 3rd or 4th floor, so I couldn’t see the inside clearly, but from the glimpse I caught through the windows, it didn’t seem to have a seedy atmosphere.

    It actually looked quite bright, almost like a clothing store.

    As I looked at it with a mix of curiosity and fascination, Heena stopped and followed my gaze.

    After staring at the store for a while, Heena finally spoke in an excited voice.

    "Shall we go in?"
