The travel preparations were progressing steadily. With the most crucial issues of accommodation and timing resolved, all that remained was deciding what to do for fun once we got there.

Given the short duration of our trip, we wouldn't be able to enjoy too many activities. For now, I was focusing on fishing and food. And since we were going all the way to Busan, I figured we should take Sarang to the aquarium.

There were a few other tourist spots we could visit, but I wasn't sure if we'd have enough time. Fishing was the main event, not just a pit stop, so it would take up a good chunk of our time.

And for me, an unexpected item had been added to the itinerary.

Getting Heena pregnant.

It sounds a bit crass when I put it that way, but it's not wrong. Ever since Heena and I had talked about having a second child, I'd been looking for opportunities.

"Sarang, do you want to sleep with Grandma tonight?"

"But I want to sleep with Daddy... Can't I...?"

"Of course you can! Do you want Daddy to give you a big hug?"

"Yes! Hug me!"

Sarang wasn't having it. It's not like her wanting to sleep with me was anything new, but lately she'd been especially clingy.

She was even literally clinging to me while we slept, making it difficult to sneak out to a motel in the middle of the night.

Heena seemed pretty frustrated with the situation too, but she didn't want to force Sarang away when she wanted to sleep with her dad.

Instead, she'd sidle up to me and whisper with a dejected look:

"Honey... I want to do it..."

A very explicit statement. I'd been trying to satisfy her discreetly, but it seemed she was still sexually frustrated since we hadn't gone all the way.

And for the first time in years, we were planning to do it without protection. No wonder Heena was practically burning up with desire these days.

The problem was Sarang's uncanny ability to interfere, as if she knew what we were up to and was determined to stop us.

I'd considered slipping out after work, but unlike in the past, kids these days all have smartphones. Sarang had a rough idea of our schedules.

If I was going to be late on a day without overtime, she'd keep messaging me, "Daddy, when are you coming home?" I didn't want to lie to Sarang about being late just to do it.

Even small lies can become a habit if they pile up. I hadn't lied to Sarang even when I enlisted in the military.

"Heena, are you okay?"

"Yeah... I'm fine... Is Sarang still energetic?"

"Yeah. She said she wants to sleep with Blackie later too."

"I see..."

I could see an unusually exhausted look on Heena's face. Heena typically hides it when she's not feeling well, not wanting to worry the family.

Now, she seemed too worn out to even bother hiding it. Plus, every time she was home, her eyes seemed to be fixed on my lower half.

"Let's hang in there a bit longer. I, uh, asked for an extra small room at the pension."

"What if Sarang follows us there too...?"

"It's a long trip, so Sarang will probably tire out quickly. We'll all hang out together, and once Sarang falls asleep, we'll ask Mom or your mom to watch her while we slip away to our room."

"Okay... I'll try to hold on."

"You can do it, Heena!"

"Then give me a kiss at least. Quick."

Honestly, it felt like I spent more time comforting Heena than planning the trip. She'd been initiating makeout sessions way more often than usual to make up for the lack of sex.

A few days later.

On my way home from work, I stopped by my parents' house to check in. I needed to update them on our travel plans and had something else to discuss too.

"Yeonho. That car seat we bought before fits Jihu perfectly."

"Really? That's great. Keep it stored safely. We might need it again later. You know... Heena told you, right?"

"About the second child? Yeah, she did. You've made a good decision. You two are settled now, and your in-laws approve. We're fine with it too."

Before discussing the trip, we talked about our plans for a second child. It was a much more important matter. And Dad seemed very welcoming of the idea.

"That's good, but when are you planning to have the wedding ceremony?"

"Well... maybe after the second child is a bit older?"

"Is that okay?"

"It takes ages to prepare for a wedding. Plus, we'll be busy again after the trip. Sarang's all grown up now, so isn't it fine if we do it later?"

"If that's what you two want, go for it. But son."

"Yeah?"

"Why didn't you bring Sarang?"

"Ah... sorry..."

"My son leaves home and doesn't even bring his daughter to visit... geez..."

Mom didn't have much to say about the second child either. She only commented a bit on our postponed wedding ceremony.

Heena and I had already discussed the wedding several times. Heena had suggested that we could just take photos without having an actual ceremony.

Of course, I immediately objected.

Even though it was a bit late, I wanted us to have that once-in-a-lifetime experience eventually. I wanted my lovely wife to enjoy all the happiness she deserved.

After getting scolded by Mom for not bringing Sarang, I heard something unexpected from Dad.

"By the way, which team are you on?"

"What team?"

"Didn't you hear? We're doing team fishing competitions."

"This is the first I'm hearing of it."

"We're betting dinner on it."

"Why are we betting?"

Well, a little harmless betting can be fun. But if I joined in, it would throw off the balance completely.

"I'll just be on Sarang's team."

"What?"

"If I join a side, Sarang will come with me as a package deal. It'll be hard to fish properly with Sarang around. I'll just sit out with Sarang. I'll need to keep an eye on her anyway."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

But if I'm not in, Heena probably won't join either. I wonder if Yoonjung will team up with Father-in-law. She and Mother-in-law are best friends after all.

This team lineup should be interesting. It'll be fun to watch.

After discussing departure times and which vehicles we'd take, I headed to my brother's room.

I'd come home partly for these discussions, but also because I wanted to see Jihu.

*Knock, knock*

"Is that my brother-in-law?"

"It is."

I'd called ahead, and they'd probably heard me talking in the living room. As soon as I knocked, I heard my sister-in-law's cheerful voice.

When I opened the door, I saw her lying on her side on the bed, patting Jihu.

Jihu was leaning against his mom, just blankly turning his eyes towards me.

"Jihu~ Uncle's here!"

"......"

I waved and called out, but got no response. What a cool kid.

It's not like he was completely ignoring me though; he kept staring at me. He just wasn't saying anything. Usually, he'd at least mumble something when I greeted him like this, but today there was nothing.

As I stood there waving and waiting for Jihu to react, Yoonjung laughed and spoke up.

"Jihu just had his milk, so he might be sleepy~"

"Ah, he's sleepy? He looks the same as always, so I thought he was just being difficult."

"What are you talking about! Our Jihu is so tired! Look, his eyes are about 80% closed!"

"Looks the same to me..."

"No, it's not!"

Yoonjung shouted in defense, but honestly, he looked exactly the same as always to me. Maybe moms have some special insight?

"Where's my brother?"

"He went out with Sunhoo. Said they were going to look at fishing rods?"

"Why are they looking at those?"

"Because they're going fishing?"

"We're renting all the equipment, so why..."

"I don't know. They said their skills won't show without their own fishing rods."

"What the f... oops. Jihu's here."

I've gotten almost perfect at controlling my language in front of Heena and Sarang, but in other places, I sometimes slip up and almost curse. Especially when I hear such nonsense.

What kind of idiots who've never even seen a fishing rod before are out looking for their own?

When I almost cursed, Yoonjung laughed loudly and agreed with my reaction.

"I know, right! What a waste of money, buying fishing rods to take with them... Geez. They're so excited about this dinner bet."

"That? I think it might be a pretty close match. Father-in-law doesn't seem particularly skilled either."

"Don't worry. I'll carry the team."

"Oh~ Yoonjung, have you fished before?"

"Nope."

"Then how are you going to carry them?"

"That's just how masters are."

Have you been reading martial arts novels lately?

Seeing Yoonjung's baseless confidence, I was really looking forward to this epic showdown.

Anyway, I gently stroked Jihu, who was sucking on his pacifier, as I perched on the edge of the bed. His eyes seemed to narrow a bit more.

"Oh! Jihu likes it! As expected of my brother-in-law~ Sarang loves you, and so does Jihu!"

"Ah... I just can't escape this popularity."

I said that, but I really couldn't tell. Is this what liking something looks like? It's not easy to read our nephew's emotions.

As I played with Jihu, gently pinching his cheeks, Yoonjung sat up on the bed and spoke.

"I heard you two are planning for a second child?"

"Yeah."

"Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

"Hmm. Both? A girl would be nice, and so would a boy. It's mine and Heena's child after all."

"Pfft... Han Yeonho, you're so sweet~"

"Call me Han Sweet from now on."

"Hehe."

Yoonjung smiled brightly at my words. She looked at me intently with a very happy expression.

"You two look so good together~"

"Us? We're always the same, what do you mean?"

"No~ You've changed~ Don't you remember when you came to me for advice a long time ago?"

"Advice? Me?"

"When you first started dating. You said Heena was being too nice to you."

"Ah... Ah~ Ah! That's right! That did happen!"

It came back to me, but it was such an old memory that it was hazy. I did consult Yoonjung about that in the early days of our relationship.

What did she say back then?

"I told you then, remember? The reason Heena's feelings seemed excessive was because she liked you more than you liked her."

"Right, right. I think that's what you said. Wow~ You remember that?"

"Of course~ It was the first time you came to me for advice~"

We were lost in memories for a moment. That was already 10 years ago, huh.

Yoonjung giggled a bit more, then continued with a warm smile.

"But now, I think it's about the same."

"What is?"

"You two. How much you think about and like each other."

"You think so?"

"Yeah."

I wonder if that's true.

I definitely don't think Heena's feelings are excessive anymore. Now, it's not her feelings that are excessive, but sometimes her libido... Ahem.

As those old memories surfaced, they overlapped with the happiness of our current daily life. Just like back then, sometimes childlike and other times dependable like my older brothers, Yoonjung and I smiled at each other. And suddenly, I had a thought.

Maybe a son would be nice after all. If it's a girl like Sarang, she'd definitely become a good older sister like Yoonjung.

Well, even if it's a girl, she'd be a good older sister too, so I guess it doesn't matter either way?

Anyway, with that heartwarming conversation over, I started to get up, thinking about heading home. Talking about Heena made me miss her terribly.

"I'll get going then. Bye Jihu~ See you next time, Yoonjung~"

"Okay~ Oh! Yeonho!"

As I was saying my final goodbyes to Jihu and Yoonjung, my hand on the doorknob, Yoonjung called out to me.

I turned my head to look at her, and gone was the gentle face from earlier. In its place was a beastly, mischievous grin.

"There's some red ginseng in the fridge, okay? Take some with you~"

"Why the sudden red ginseng?"

"Hehehe, it's for stamina~ Heena seemed really determined~ I'll take care of Sarang that day!"

"Ah......"

Ah...

As expected of my Heena.

You've already started laying the groundwork, haven't you...?

Author's Note:

I'm not sure if red ginseng is really good for that since I've never tried it.

They've only registered their marriage, they haven't had a wedding ceremony yet! As for when it might happen... it could be much later...?
