    June, with summer just around the corner. I was in the midst of planning a trip.

    Heena and I finally had some free time in our schedules, and we managed to find dates that worked for the rest of the family too.

    We considered waiting for Sarang''s summer break, but adults don''t get vacations like that, and some people find it hard to take time off in summer.

    So we all agreed to go as soon as we could coordinate our schedules. Plus, as summer approached, the pension would enter peak season, which could inconvenience Yu Jun.

    Of course, we weren''t planning to stay for free - we intended to pay the full accommodation fee. But if we told Jun we were coming, he''d probably go out of his way for us, which could be troublesome during a busy period.

    "So when is it again? First Friday in June?"

    "Yeah, that''s right."

    "Got it~ I''ve been keeping the second week free just in case~"

    "Really? That makes me feel a bit bad."

    "Don''t worry, it''ll fill up quickly anyway. Wow~ Will I finally get to see my sister-in-law and Sarang in person?"

    "That''s right. Take a good look. Try not to cry."

    It''s not like I hadn''t seen Jun since he was discharged. But between work and taking care of Sarang, I hadn''t been able to go down to Busan. Instead, Jun had come up to Seoul twice for work, and we''d met then.

    I''d always wanted to introduce him to Heena and Sarang when he visited, but the timing never seemed to work out. They still hadn''t met.

    Heena often had busy days, making it hard for her to free up time, and Sarang always seemed to be at a relative''s house when Jun was in town.

    "Sigh... If only I didn''t have to manage the pension, I could''ve met my foxy wife and bunny-like kid..."

    "Hahahahahaha! Oh, right. What a shame. If only you didn''t have the pension... pffft... as if that would''ve made a difference."

    "I really want to kill you right now."

    Even after all these years, he was still a funny guy. I still kept in touch with a few army buddies, but none as frequently or closely as Jun.

    Plus, hearing his voice after so long sparked a lively conversation that covered a wide range of topics.

    We ended up chatting for nearly an hour before Jun had to get back to work.

    "I''ll call you again closer to the date."

    "Yeah~ Message me~"

    -Click- The call ended, and as I sat there checking the messages that had come in during our conversation-

    -Rustle-

    "......"

    I felt an intense gaze from beside me. Turning my head slightly, I saw Sarang staring at me intently from the sofa.

    What''s this about?

    "Sarang. What''s wrong?"

    "Dad, are you done with your phone call?"

    "Yeah, it''s over."

    "Can I sit on your lap now?"

    "Of course. Dad''s lap is Sarang''s special seat. Come here."

    "Okay!"

    No sooner had I finished speaking than she climbed onto my lap. Sarang leaned back against me, replying to her friends'' messages on her smartphone.

    "Are you chatting with your friends?"

    "Yeah! Jooeun wants to come play at our house."

    "Oh really? When?"

    "During the break!"

    Well, Jooeun''s fine. Heena seems to like her too, given how much attention she pays to her.

    As I stroked Sarang''s hair, I went back to checking my messages and replying. I sent a quick check-in to the group chat with my friends, and updated the family group chat about the confirmed pension dates. Ra?NO??b?s

    While my thumbs were busy typing, Sarang started tapping my chest with her head.

    "Dad~ Hug me!"

    "You want a hug instead of head pats?"

    "Yeah!"

    At my daughter''s request, I lowered my hands to wrap around her tummy. I was careful not to squeeze too hard.

    "Tighter!"

    But apparently, my consideration wasn''t to Sarang''s liking. She bumped her head against me again, demanding more.

    So I pulled her close, almost as tightly as I would hug Heena. Only then did she make a satisfied sound.

    "Doesn''t that hurt?"

    "I like it this way!"

    I thought of my nephew''s face - the one who takes after my brother Jeongwoo and doesn''t show much expression, even though we visit about once a week.

    Jihu''s pretty well-behaved too, so the trip shouldn''t be too difficult.

    "Suddenly, I miss Jihu. He''s cute, you know. That blank, expressionless face of his is charming."

    "What, do you wish we had a son?"

    "No... I just think our nephew is cute. Whether it''s a son or daughter, I''d love any child of ours."

    "Is that so?"

    Heena gave me a seductive smile at my words. It seemed like she was trying to tempt me.

    A moment later, those pretty lips parted to say something I''d been expecting for a while now.

    "Then, should we try for a second child? I''m ready."

    "Isn''t it still too early?"

    "Not at all! I''ve already looked into the maternity leave process. We can do it anytime, as long as you''re up for it."

    "Wow."

    That''s my Heena for you. Always prepared.

    Come to think of it, a second child, huh? It''s not like I hadn''t thought about it. We''d both always said we wanted at least two kids.

    We hoped Sarang could experience the same joy, help, and happiness we''d received from our siblings throughout our lives.

    But what made me hesitate was the memory of how much Heena struggled when she was pregnant with Sarang.

    I''d been by her side for most of the process, from pregnancy to childbirth, so those memories hit especially hard.

    As I pondered, Heena continued her persuasion.

    "Anyway, I don''t think Mom and Dad are going to let us live independently for a while, so isn''t now a good time? Before we really move out on our own."

    "That''s true."

    It was a very reasonable point. Once we''re living independently, even if Heena takes maternity leave to look after the baby at home, the burden would be enormous.

    Of course, in that situation, either my mom or my mother-in-law would come to help, but it still wouldn''t compare to having them right there to provide immediate care.

    We also had to consider the financial aspect. Our current income should be sufficient, but living together would allow for much more savings.

    Above all, Heena must have brought this up because she felt ready. We''d had Sarang in a bit of a rush, causing a lot of trouble for our families, so we hadn''t easily broached the subject of a second child until now.

    Looking back, Heena seemed to have wanted a child then as if she was being chased by something. I''m not sure what it was.

    But now, it seemed she''d brought it up after considering various factors and deciding this was the best time.

    If so, all that remained was my decision.

    But was there even a decision to make?

    "Alright, let''s do it."

    "Really?!"

    Heena''s face lit up as she asked again, surprised by my quick decision after such brief consideration. I was worried about her, but she seemed determined, and I wanted a second child too, so there was no reason to refuse.

    Besides, I agreed with Heena that the timing was right.

    "But we should probably talk about this, right? With your mom... We''ll need a lot of help again if we have another."

    "That''s fine! I''ve been hinting at wanting a second child several times recently!"

    "That''s a relief..."

    I wondered if she might have revealed our hand too quickly, but I felt relieved deep down. It would have been a bit awkward for me to bring up.

    Anyway... hmm.

    It does feel like we made this decision rather suddenly. A second child...

    Well, I suppose the most important thing when having a child is...

    "Heena."

    "Yes!"

    "Stash away all the condoms we have. We won''t be needing them for a while."

    "...Okay. Got it... Hehehe..."

    Maybe we should give it our all when we go on this trip, after leaving Sarang in another room?

    Author''s Note:

    My Girlfriend is Very Good to Me is... an all-ages... novel...

    The side story has already surpassed 40 chapters. At this point, I''m not sure if this is still a side story, a part 2, or if I''m just continuing part 1. I don''t even know how far I''ll take it...

    Originally, I planned to end the story around chapter 130...
