"Both of you be careful on your way. Heena, work hard, and Sarang, have fun with your friends."

"Okay. You take care too."

"Yes~"

*Smooch! Smooch!*

I kiss Heena and Sarang on the cheek and wave goodbye as they leave the house. I make Somang, who's nestled in my arms and only glancing at the others, say goodbye too.

"Mama, noona. Bye-bye."

"That's for when you're saying goodbye to friends. Let's say 'Have a nice day.'"

"Have a nice day."

"That's right. Our Somang says goodbye so well."

"I'm off, Mom~"

"Me too! Me too! Dad! I want to kiss Somang!"

"You do?"

*Smooch!*

I bend down to Sarang's eye level so she can kiss Somang's cheek. It's heartwarming to see her being so affectionate towards her little brother.

"See you this evening~"

"We're leaving now!"

"Have a good day~"

"Bye-bye..."

And with that, Heena and Sarang head out together. Heena leaves at a more leisurely pace since she's starting her day with field work, while Sarang hurries a bit because she likes to chat with her friends before school starts.

After seeing the mother and daughter off at the front door, I return to the bedroom with Somang. It's almost time to take him to daycare too.

---

The daycare I take Somang to is the same one Sarang attended 10 years ago. Even though we've moved, we still live in the same area, so Somang goes to the same place.

Actually, since I work from home, I could look after him myself. But I believe it's better for his social skills to attend daycare.

Especially since Somang is even more reserved than Sarang was, though he clings to me just as much. If he doesn't make friends this way, he might end up living only on my lap.

I was a bit worried about that aspect of my son, but it wasn't really a problem. Sometimes when I come to pick him up early and watch secretly, I see him getting along well with his friends.

"Listen to your teachers and have fun with your friends. Daddy will come pick you up later."

"Daddy come too."

"You want to play with Daddy?"

"Yes."

"Then if you play happily with your friends, Daddy will play with you later. Okay?"

"Okay..."

He sulked for a moment, but quickly understood when I gently explained. At the same time, seeing my son's downcast face made my heart ache.

It hurt even more because he resembles Heena so much. It felt like seeing a miniature Heena looking dejected.

As I stood there, unable to leave and just stroking Somang's head, the teacher approached with a smile.

"Hi, Somang's dad~ Don't worry too much."

"Yes. Please take good care of him. Well then, Somang. Daddy will be back later!"

"Bye-bye..."

"See you later~ Somang, want to hold teacher's hand and go in?"

"Yes."

"How adorable~"

Well, sometimes the teachers send videos of the children, and watching those, I don't really need to worry.

If anything, what's concerning is how the teachers look at our Somang, probably because he's so adorably handsome.

I hope they're not stealing kisses from Somang multiple times. Even if Somang is a bit loose with his kisses.

Our Somang gives kisses to anyone who asks, be it other girls his age or the teachers.

It seems he does it because he gets annoyed when they keep asking.

I wonder if later on, two or three girls will come looking for him, fighting over who gets to be his girlfriend.

---

After dropping Somang off at daycare, I return home and immediately start work.

When I'm working alone, I focus on my own, and when meetings are necessary, I use voice chat with a headset.

Sometimes when I'm alone like this, I'm tempted to slack off, but there's a basic amount of work that needs to be done, so I can't really be a salary thief.

I have to check the coding again if something goes wrong during testing, and since they're accommodating me by letting me work from home, my conscience wouldn't allow me to mess around.

"Yep. That's done for now. Let's do the rest next time~ What? No, I'm not changing jobs. Why would I go anywhere else when they let me work from home?"

Well, they are keeping me on a leash like this because of my skills, making me wonder if I should go freelance.

"I'll check the emails in the evening. Yeah, good work. I'm not drinking~ I have to pick up my son later."

The workload varies day by day, but I usually wrap things up around 3 PM. I need to pick up Somang at 4 PM.

Of course, it's not always like this. When there's a lot of work, I continue even after bringing him home. Sometimes I'm even stuck working late into the night.

Still, being able to take care of household chores in between is a huge perk. Even if it means a smaller paycheck.

Anyway, today's work is done, and I have a short break before picking up Somang. Though to be honest, there's not much to do during this break.

The free time isn't very long, and I usually spend it cleaning or deciding on the dinner menu.

But today, for the first time in a while...

"......"

I shut down my work computer and watched some risqué videos on my laptop. If you're wondering why I'm watching videos instead of being with Heena, well, this is all I can do now.

Until Heena got pregnant and we moved here, we could still do it once in a while by leaving Somang with my mother-in-law. But now, my mother-in-law is no longer around to watch Somang.

In this situation, Somang is always, always next to us at night. Do it in the bathroom? That's impossible too. There are two bathrooms in this house - one in the living room and one in our bedroom.

If we did it in the bedroom bathroom, Somang, who's a light sleeper, would hear and wake up. And in the living room bathroom, there's a chance Sarang might wake up and come to use it.

So even when we do it, it's usually just a quick release by hand, which sometimes isn't enough. Besides, I try to satisfy Heena's needs when we do. She must be tired from commuting every day.

Well, that's why I've been doing this alone occasionally these days. We can only do it together when Heena takes a half day off, or when we go on a quick date after leaving Somang with my mother-in-law or my mom.

"Wow."

And honestly, there's a certain enjoyment in watching. You know, as a man, instinctively. Of course, I absolutely can't get caught doing this. I vaguely remember how hard it was to appease Heena when she caught me that one time long ago.

If that was bad, I can't even imagine what would happen if I got caught now. Heena's love has only grown stronger as time passes. She might really smash my laptop this time.

These days I watch streaming videos, so as long as I'm a little careful, there's no way I'll get caught!

---

My basic routine goes like this: Wake up early to make breakfast, see the family off, drop Somang off at daycare. Come back and handle my work.

After that, starting with Somang, everyone returns home one by one, and what we do varies day by day.

Sometimes I play games with the kids, and quite often Heena plans for us to eat out. She's probably trying to lighten my load.

Since I'm in charge of meal preparation almost all the time.

Or we visit my in-laws for an outing. Now that only the two of them are left in that big house, they get lonely, so we try to visit as often as we can.

And this evening, I'm indulging Somang's clinginess.

*Roll roll*

Back from daycare, Somang is rolling around on the floor with his head on my palm. Thanks to this, I can't move my hand from the floor.

I tried to guide him to use my leg as a pillow instead, but he insists on my palm, gripping my fingers tightly with both hands, so there's nothing I can do.

"Somang. Do you like Daddy's palm?"

"Like."

"Hmm... Should we study letters with Daddy? Or do you want to read a storybook together?"

"No. Want this."

Rejecting my suggestions, Somang keeps his head firmly planted on my palm. I don't understand what fun he's having in this position.

Because of this, I can't even prepare dinner. Should I just make the soy sauce kimchi egg fried rice I learned from my sister-in-law today? Honestly, that stuff is delicious.

*Beep-beep-beep! Ding-dong!*

"I'm home!!"

"Welcome back~"

While I was contemplating today's menu, the door lock beeped and Sarang came home. She threw her backpack into her room, washed her hands, and came running straight to me.

And seeing Somang using my palm as a pillow on the floor instead of my lap, she smiled brightly and threw herself at me.

"Daddy's lap is my spot!"

"Oof!"

Receiving Sarang's body slam, which hasn't changed in years, I felt my breath catch for a moment.

"Did you have a good day?"

"Yeah! Today, with Jueun..."

Sitting on my lap, she starts unfolding the day's events one by one. I listen to her story while stroking her head with my free hand.

I heard it's important to listen well to these things. I'm curious about Sarang's school life too.

As Sarang was enthusiastically spilling the tea, she seemed to remember something and looked at Somang lying on the floor.

"Somang! I brought candy, do you want some?"

"Want candy."

"Wait a sec!"

At those words, Sarang ran back to her room and returned with a lollipop in her hand.

"I got this from a friend, but it's apple flavor so I didn't eat it! Somang likes apple flavor, right?"

"Candy, candy."

"I'll unwrap it for you~"

She immediately peels off the wrapper and hands it to Somang. Only then does Somang lift his head from my palm to accept the candy.

My palm was tingling. We'd been like that for about 30 minutes.

While I was massaging my hand that had suffered, Sarang hugged Somang and returned to my lap. Somang moved along with his sister's guidance, sucking on his lollipop.

Satisfied with the ideal situation of sitting on my lap while hugging her brother, Sarang starts nuzzling her cheek against Somang's.

"Somang, is it yummy?"

"Chup, chup."

"My little brother is so cute~"

I guess because of the big age difference, she dotes on Somang even more. Plus, Somang is objectively super cute. He's already won the hearts of his daycare friends and teachers.

My son is scary. Why is he so handsome? Even eating a lollipop looks like a picture, a work of art. He could be in a commercial.

It's not great to give snacks right before a meal, but one lollipop that his sister brought for him is okay.

Anyway, I can't move.

Oh well. Today, it's going to be soy sauce kimchi egg fried rice.

---

A bit more time passed, and Heena returned home from work.

We had fried rice for dinner. Soy sauce kimchi egg fried rice, to be exact.

The whole family dressed comfortably, gathered in the living room, and ate the fried rice from a large bowl. Isn't this happiness?

After eating, I played with the kids again while Heena did the dishes, then sat next to me and peeled some fruit.

Afterwards, we bathed the kids, then ourselves, and got ready for bed.

"Nothing special happened to you today?"

"Nothing much, except it was a bit chilly for early summer? Oh, right. Honey, I'll make breakfast tomorrow."

"It's fine. You have to leave early tomorrow. Is there anything you want to eat? Should I make soybean paste soup?"

"I said I'll do it~ You've been doing it all week."

"I'm telling you it's okay."

"Ugh... Whatever! I'm just going to wake up first and do it!"

"No you won't~ I'm going to wake up first~ I'm turning off your alarm~"

"Really!"

While playfully bickering with Heena, I spread out the large blanket. Meanwhile, Sarang and Somang were sitting next to the bed, each holding a pillow and watching videos on the phone together. It was Pororo, still the kids' favorite even after all these years.

Today, Sarang said she wanted to sleep together, so we decided to all sleep in one bed. We bought a big bed in the first place anticipating occasions like this.

Our kids love me too much!

"Sarang, Somang. Time to sleep, okay?"

"Okay! Somang, I'll show you more tomorrow~"

"Daddy~"

"Ah! The spot next to Dad is mine!"

Ignoring his sister's kind intentions, Somang made the first move and snuggled right up to me. Sarang burst out in frustration. But since she couldn't pry Somang away from my arms, she pouted and went to Heena's side.

"Come love Mommy too~"

"I love Mommy too!"

"Thanks... Sarang..."

I didn't know what to say to Heena's sorrowful voice. Come to think of it, the one who wants to sleep in my arms more than anyone else is probably Heena. And not only is she losing her spot, but she's even getting second billing from the kids.

Anyway, since it was getting late, we lay down on the bed and covered ourselves with the blanket. In order: me, Somang, Sarang, and Heena.

Heena and I lay on our sides facing the middle, watching our children's lovely faces as they fell asleep.

And as our daughter and son's breathing grew faint, we smiled at each other and whispered softly.

"Heena, good night."

"Good night to you too~"

With those words, I closed my eyes. Another day ended without incident.

Our daily life always feels similar, but this everyday life is happier than anything else.

Of course I'm making an effort, but my family is also working hard for this kind of daily life.

We will continue these days forever. It's only natural.

Is the end in sight?! Could it be?!
