    Right after we arrived, we didn''t do much. The guys who''d driven for hours were tired, and Jihu was asleep, so we couldn''t move around.

    Leaving him in the room wasn''t an option, and if we took him out and he woke up, he''d cry his lungs out. But it didn''t feel right for just one or two people to go out when the whole family had come on this trip.

    So we decided to relax at the pension for a bit. The terrace connected to our room was spacious with plenty of chairs, perfect for gathering around. The view of Busan''s coastline from the pension was beautiful too. Sitting on the terrace, cracking open a beer each, it felt like we were living the high life.

    "A toast to Jeongwoo and Heeseong for driving us here!"

    """Cheers!!"""

    "Kanpai~"

    "Looks like we have an imposter among us?"

    "Must be Sunhoo hyung. Let''s get him."

    Since it was still daytime, we were drinking beer instead of soju, but this was just right. A slight buzz always made the atmosphere more fun.

    Even our parents and Sunhoo hyung, who usually skipped these gatherings to play games, were chatting away, fueled by the alcohol.

    It was nice to see Rin noona smiling and bonding with our family too. She''d always been too busy to spend much time with us before.

    Yoonjung noona was sitting between the room and the terrace in case Jihu suddenly woke up. But judging by the three empty beer cans in her hand, she seemed to be having a good time too.

    In one corner of the bustling terrace, Heena, Sarang, and I were sharing some snacks. Pepero sticks that Heena had packed for us.

    Sarang, sitting next to me and munching on a stick, suddenly stood up and held out a Pepero to me.

    "Daddy! Let''s play the Pepero game!"

    "Oh? Sarang, you know about the Pepero game?"

    "Yeah! I played it with Jooeun!"

    "Really? Just with Jooeun, right? Not with any boys?"

    "Nope!"

    "Good girl. That''s right. You shouldn''t play those games with boys. Okay?"

    "Okay!"

    To be honest, even first-grade boys probably wouldn''t try to play such games with girls... but you never know.

    But how did Jooeun learn about the Pepero game? Maybe from YouTube?

    Sarang beamed at my response and put a Pepero stick in her mouth. Come to think of it, Heena and I used to play this game a lot every Pepero Day. At some point, we stopped paying attention to these little celebrations.

    I put the other end of the stick in my mouth and started nibbling, moving forward bit by bit. I wanted to bite off a big chunk, but that''s not how Sarang wanted to play this game.

    "Hehehe!!"

    Finding this amusing, Sarang approached slowly, giggling like Heena. Oh, how adorable.

    Soon, there was barely any Pepero left, and our noses were almost touching. As I was thinking what to do next...

    "Yam!"

    -Smooch!

    Sarang quickly pulled the remaining Pepero into her mouth and gave me a kiss. Then she giggled mischievously as she ate the Pepero.

    "Munch munch... I won!"

    "Daddy lost~"

    I wasn''t sure how the winner was decided, but that hardly mattered. What was important was that Sarang still didn''t mind kissing me.

    When she gets a bit older, she probably won''t do this anymore.

    Having quickly swallowed her mouthful, Sarang pulled out another Pepero. She seemed ready to play again, so I leaned down, preparing myself, when...

    "Sarang. It''s Mommy''s turn now."

    "Okay! Then it''s my turn after Mommy!"

    "Alright~"

    Heena intercepted the Pepero in Sarang''s hand, put it in her mouth, and approached me. I couldn''t help but hesitate for a moment at this change of partner.

    Honestly, given how often we showed affection, it shouldn''t have been weird to do this in front of our family. But even so, being so blatant about it made me hesitate.

    I turned my head slightly to check if our family was still distracted by beer and conversation.

    "......"

    "......"

    "......"

    "......"

    "And Mommy can take the picture!"

    "Alright. Honey, stand with your back to the ocean~"

    So we took a photo of Sarang and me, then another with Heena being carried the same way. After that, we took countless photos with the whole family. Everyone cooperated without complaint, knowing how obsessed we were with taking photos wherever we went.

    By evening, we went to a sashimi restaurant for raw fish and drinks. Of course, that was just for the other family members, excluding Heena and me. Even Yoonjung noona seemed to be holding back because of Jihu.

    I sat in the corner with Jihu and Sarang, diligently eating corn salad. Sarang, taking after me, wasn''t particularly fond of sashimi, and Jihu was still too young for such food.

    The drinking continued even after we returned to the pension. On the same terrace where we''d had a beer each upon arrival, they were now knocking back soju with side dishes.

    Originally, we''d planned a barbecue party, but we postponed that to tomorrow. Most people wanted to eat sashimi first, since we were in Busan.

    As the atmosphere grew livelier and the night deepened...

    "Daddy... I''m sleepy..."

    "Yeah? Want to go to the room and sleep?"

    "I wanna sleep with Jihu..."

    "You do?"

    Sarang said something very welcome. She wanted to sleep next to her baby cousin, finding him cute. Heena and I lit up at Sarang''s words and went to the room together.

    There, we found Jihu already sound asleep, with sister-in-law and Rin noona chatting and drinking beer beside him.

    "Oh, Sarang''s here~ Feeling sleepy?"

    "Yes..."

    "Where are you going to sleep?"

    "With Jihu."

    "Really? Jihu''s lucky~ His noona''s going to sleep next to him."

    Yoonjung noona, quickly grasping the situation, winked and lifted the blanket covering Jihu slightly. Sarang crawled in and snuggled up next to him.

    "When are we going fishing...?"

    "We''ll go tomorrow. Daddy will wake you up in the morning."

    "You better wake me up..."

    "I promise. Promise~"

    "Promise..."

    With those words, she fell asleep in an instant. She''d woken up early today, and although she''d slept a bit in the car, the long drive must have tired her out. Plus, it was later than her usual bedtime.

    After making sure Sarang was asleep, Heena and I quickly got up. Both of us, Heena especially, were quite pent up.

    Sister-in-law waved us off.

    "I''ll keep an eye on Sarang~"

    "Thanks, unnie."

    "Much appreciated."

    "They''re both so adorable..."

    Leaving Rin noona, who seemed lost in the sleeping faces of Jihu and Sarang, we thanked sister-in-law and hurried to our couple''s room.

    Everyone knew about our plans for a second child, so they wouldn''t find it strange that we suddenly disappeared.

    Of course, it was a bit much that the entire family knew about this... but with Sarang around, we needed our family to understand the situation and help out.

    And in our private room...

    "Honey... Today, you know what we''re doing, right?"

    "I know, I know."

    We spent some passionate time together. In terms of simple adult activities, it had been over ten days, but in terms of trying for a baby, it had been eight years.

    Author''s Note:

    So... you know what''s coming tomorrow, right?

    For our underage readers, it''s a break day... until tomorrow, or the day after... Due to time constraints, I can''t write a long episode like before...

    Of course, you can skip the 18+ content of ''My Girlfriend is Very Good to Me'' without missing any crucial plot points. Thank you.
