    No matter how much time passed, she consistently helped and loved me.

    Thinking about my everyday life with Heena, who was just the same as when she was my girlfriend, I couldn''t help but smile.

    "I wouldn''t have been able to do anything without Heena."

    "Okay, I get it. You two are like lovebirds. Enough already."

    I could brag about Heena for hours.

    But for the sake of Unnie, who seemed tired of our lovey-dovey talk, we switched the topic back to the babies. How long it usually took for them to succeed in rolling over, and whether she was thinking of getting a walker, and such.

    Heena or my mother-in-law would usually know and decide on most things, but as a dad, I was curious too.

    "I''m back~"

    Just as our conversation was getting lively, Heena returned. She brought a bottle of water and a small snack. She must have bought it for the three of us to share.

    For some reason, I found my wife even cuter and prettier today. I was always thankful for my dear wife.

    Even now, as soon as she arrived, she stuck to me and tried to open the water bottle cap for me—

    "You seemed to be having fun with Unnie? What were you talking about? Aren''t you getting too close already?"

    "Well, listen. I''ll tell you everything we talked about from start to finish."

    "...Yeonho, you have it tough."

    If only her jealousy would lessen just a little!

    After chatting at the playground for a while, it was time to give the babies their formula, so we parted ways. This time, we exchanged numbers. Since she took walks almost every day, she said she would match her time with ours when we went out.

    We liked Jaehee Unnie, and it seemed good for Sarang to have a friend her age in the neighborhood, so we had no reason to refuse.

    Leaving the playground, we walked home leisurely.

    -Brrr

    Suhwang called.

    "He talks all the time in the group chat, why is he calling?"

    "Suhwang?"

    "Yeah. Let me take this for a moment. Please take the stroller."

    "Okay~"

    -Beep

    "Hello?"

    ─Hey, Han Yeonho! Upload more videos of Sarang in the group chat!

    "What the hell... I already upload there as much as I send to my family."

    ─Sarang has grown a lot. Can''t she come out yet? I want to see her face too.

    "We still can''t go far, but if you come near my house, it''s possible."

    ─Really? Then should we gather the guys and meet up?

    "Do as you like. Just let me know before you come, so I can check if I''m free."

    ─Damn, acting all busy because you go to Seoyeon University.

    "I wish it was just acting busy..."

    ─Still, it''s good that you''re managing your grades well since freshman year. You need to graduate and get a job quickly.

    "I know, man. That''s why I''m working hard."

    ─And check the group chat. You didn’t respond all day, so I called.

    "I went for a walk with Heena and Sarang today. We''re on our way home now."

    ─Got it. Anyway, let us know when you can meet. We want to see Sarang too!

    "I''ll check and message you. Bye."

    After a short call, I put the phone back in my pocket.

    There were so many Sarang fans now that it was hard to keep track. Whether it was family, relatives, or even my friends. We tried to manage these meetings so Sarang wouldn''t get stressed from seeing too many people too often.

    "The guys want to see her?"

    To fulfill Heena''s wish for a princess carry.

    "Heena, it might be dangerous, so could you stand closer to the bed? Just in case I drop you, you can fall onto it."

    "Like this?"

    "Yeah, like that."

    Although I had given her piggyback rides or lifted her in a hug many times before, this was the first time I was attempting this particular move. With a nervous heart, I watched as Heena wrapped her arms around my neck.

    Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

    As I lowered myself to lift her, Heena slightly turned her body to make it easier for me.

    I placed one hand under her armpit and the other under her knees. Without hesitation, I lifted her up in one smooth motion. If I hesitated, we might both get hurt.

    Fortunately, I succeeded without wobbling.

    "Ah! We did it!"

    "It''s easier than I thought."

    "Am I not heavy?"

    "Not at all. This is really because you''re so light."

    "Really?"

    I meant it. I thought it would be hard to hold her for long even if I succeeded, but Heena was lighter than I expected. Probably because she moved around a lot taking care of Sarang and she usually ate small portions. She was so light it was almost worrying about her health.

    "You need to eat more. You''re so light it''s concerning. You might suddenly collapse."

    "Aww, what''s with the sweet talk all of a sudden?"

    -Smooch! Smooch!

    Since we were in this position, Heena''s face was right next to mine. She kept kissing my cheek. Wanting to make up for today''s kiss quota, I turned my head and kissed her back.

    Saying it was a quota might sound forced, but I meant I wanted to give her more kisses than I gave Sarang.

    "Mmm... Mwah..."

    As soon as I turned my head, Heena eagerly intertwined her tongue with mine. Holding onto my neck tightly, she explored every part of my mouth with fervor. I complied gently with her passionate kiss.

    While kissing her, I slowly lowered Heena onto the bed. Even though she was light, holding a person over 40 kilos for a long time was still a challenge.

    Despite being put down, Heena didn''t let go of my neck and pulled me down with her. Looking down at her, I then pushed my tongue into her mouth.

    Biting and sucking on her soft, moist lips, we kissed passionately for a while.

    Gradually, we parted lips and locked eyes.

    I intended to stop there since we had to eat, but with her arms still wrapped around my neck, Heena didn''t seem to want to stop.

    "You know it''s not enough yet, right?"

    "I think I gave you as many kisses as I gave Sarang."

    "I know you kissed Sarang twice when we got up this morning. And you only kissed me once. Before we left for our walk, you kissed Sarang twice at the shoe rack too."

    "......"

    She saw all that... or rather, she counted? Actually, I kissed Sarang about three more times while Heena was showering this morning. I better keep that to myself─

    "And when I was showering, you were holding Sarang, so you must have kissed her then too, right?"

    "You''re like a ghost."

    "So, you gave Sarang twice as many kisses as me today... I can''t accept that."

    Of course, Heena! There''s nothing about me you don''t know!

    "I want to be the best for you in everything. I can''t yield even to Sarang on this."

    She said, releasing her arms and gently touching my lips with her thumb, which were wet from our kiss.

    "It''ll take a while for Sarang to finish her formula... So."

    She licked her own lips seductively as she continued speaking.

    "Make out with me so passionately that I can hardly breathe, okay?"

    "Ha... I really have no choice."

    A mom who doesn''t want to lose to her daughter in the number of affectionate touches. That was so like Heena.

    "Open your mouth. I''ll make sure you can''t breathe for the next five minutes."

    "Hehe... Please do, honey."

    From that moment until we heard someone calling us from outside, I pressed Heena down and explored her lips, saliva, and tongue. I did my best to satisfy my jealous wife.
