Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

176 – Side Story – Family members appearing without rest

There are not many children in the world who are born with so many blessings, and when I realized that it was our child, I was overwhelmed with emotion, not to mention joy.

After Seol-ha and Seol-ah were born, Armo’s fans and those who watch our YouTube channel also rushed to leave congratulatory messages and greetings, showering us with all sorts of gifts.

The amount was so large that the agency that was supposed to act as the messenger begged Yuna to hurry and take some.

Personally, what I found a little funny was that letters and gifts that used to be sent only to Yuna started to split halfway and end up coming to me as well.

At first, I felt sorry because I thought it was just because I was Yuna’s husband and that she was taking care of me out of obligation, but at some point, I was happy because there were people who said they liked me through YouTube and live broadcasts.

I suddenly had a thought that Yuna is an idol because of this kind of joy.

Anyway, after half a year had passed since the two children were born, our house started to become a little more noisy than usual.

It wasn’t just because of the presence of Seol-ha and Seol-ah. Of course, like most babies of that age, they were something that made it impossible to take your eyes off of them, but they weren’t the kind of kids who would cause trouble.

but,

“Oh my, our granddaughter. How can she be so pretty? Is it because she takes after her mother?”

“Pp, ppa!”

“Seol-ha’s facial features are already distinct, Si-yoon’s mom. I guess it’s because she took after Dad.”

“Bah!”

Thanks to the mothers of both families who visited us without stopping, there wasn’t a single quiet day.

The funny thing is that my mom was busy praising Seol-ah and Yuna, and my mother-in-law was busy praising Seol-ha and me. Because of that, Yuna and I had to stay far away and blush in embarrassment.

You may have gotten used to people complimenting you on your looks and coolness, but compliments from your family still feel strange.

“Yuna, why don’t you go inside and rest? You must be tired from working on the radio last night.”

While I was standing there blankly watching the scene, I suddenly became worried that Yuna must be quite tired but had come all the way to the living room, so I made a subtle suggestion.

My mom probably doesn’t care about that kind of thing, and since she knows Yuna is so busy, there’s no need to keep her seat. It would be better to take this opportunity to rest a bit.

“What do you want to say? I stayed up all night with my eyes wide open because the kids were crying.”

Sigh.

Then my wife pouted and poked my waist with her hand as if she was talking about her brother-in-law.

Oh, this hurts a little. Since becoming a mom, I feel like my cooking skills have gotten spicier. Thinking about smashing my son and daughter’s backs with this later makes my head spin.

“Boo… . Boa!”

“oh!”

As the two of them were giving up their right to rest, their bodies pressed together, their mother’s exclamation was heard from the living room.

Suddenly, I turned my head to see what was going on, and there was Seol-ha, standing up proudly from her seat, holding on to a soft play equipment made of a child-friendly material.

dump.

Although I was still not very good at standing and was afraid to get up, I ended up collapsing in my seat, but that sight alone was enough to make Yuna and I exclaim in admiration.

“Hey, honey, did you see that? Our Seol-ha just got up, right?”

“Oh, oh… I saw it. They say that around this time, you start to stand up, I guess it’s true.”

He’s 6 months old, almost 7 months old, but compared to other babies, his development is overwhelmingly fast. According to what I heard from my obstetrician, he usually starts standing around 8 to 9 months old.

“Pfft…! Pfft!”

While everyone in the living room, including her mother and mother-in-law, could not help but exclaim in admiration, this time Seol-ah’s babbling rang out.

“Huh? Seol-ah is trying to stand up too?”

“Didn’t you feel competitive after seeing Seol-ha?”

“Do children feel that way too?”

“I don’t know.”

I shrugged my shoulders and responded, inwardly cheering on Seol-ah, who was also trying to stand up while holding on to the large play equipment.

If Ji Oppa could do it, what can’t Seol-ah do? Cheer up, our daughter!

“Oh…!”

“Whoa! Honey, you really did it! Our daughter did it!”

Did the cheering finally reach her? Seol-ah really stood tall and proud, holding onto the ride.

Of course, just like my brother, he stood for a moment and then immediately collapsed like a tower he had worked so hard to build, but that alone made Yuna and I feel so proud.

“Booah, dad.”

Meanwhile, Seol-ha, who had been watching Seol-ah successfully complete the task, crawled over to his younger sister and clumsily waved his hand, patting her on the arm. To me, it looked like the sight of an older brother praising his amazing younger sister.

Everyone in the living room smiled happily at the two-shot of the lovely siblings.

Even though my body might be a little tired, I am still happy. I have more people to cherish.

***

There are many family members in my house.

It is partly because the family has two children, which is rare in Korea these days, but also because there is another family member named Cheese.

But in addition to that, today, Yuna and I are going somewhere to bring another family member. Yuna once said that she really wanted to raise a big puppy in the yard, and this is the child who will become the main character.

“What do you think? Even though he’s young, he looks quite manly, right?”

“Yeah, it’s kind of cute too.”

In the photo that Yuna, sitting in the passenger seat, showed on her phone, there was a familiar golden retriever.

We thought a lot about which breed would be best, but Yuna unilaterally decided on a Golden Retriever, saying something strange like, “A retriever is the best for a rich family!”

To be honest, I don’t really mind since I like any kind of dog. However, since it’s a large dog, I’m still a bit worried that children might be afraid of it when it grows up.

“Are you getting along well with the kids?”

“You get along well enough with Cheese. Don’t you worry?”

“Hmm, I think that’s a little different….”

After all, Cheese is a small cat, and from Seolha and Seol-ah’s perspective, there would be no reason to be afraid of it, except for the fact that it looks a little different from them.

Unless you suddenly harass Cheese and he starts to scratch you like crazy.

However, although Golden Retrievers may be small and cute now, I wonder if there is a slight possibility that children might be scared of them because of their large size when they grow up.

But when I see dogs that grew up with children in places like overseas still running around with them even after they grow up, I wonder if it’s okay.

I don’t know yet. It’s already been decided, so it’s ridiculous to worry about it now.

“Oh, honey. Over here. Over here.”

“You’re here already? You’re pretty close.”

Since Yuna said she knew the way well, I didn’t even turn on the navigation, and so I kept driving without even realizing that I had arrived.

Suddenly.

After parking in a suitable place and getting out of the car, I saw a pet shop with a pretty neat exterior. According to Yuna, it was a pet shop with very thorough management, to the point that even celebrities she knew would buy their dogs here.

“Oh, Yuna. Welcome.”

As I entered, a woman who looked to be in her 40s greeted Yuna with a bright smile. Judging from the fact that she called me by my name, it seemed like we had known each other’s names.

“Hello, I’m here to pick up the child I told you about before.”

“Yes, please come this way. By the way, who’s the person next to you…?”

“Oh, that’s my husband. You recognize his face, right?”

Yuna nodded as if to introduce herself, so I immediately bowed my head.

“My name is Park Si-yoon, Yuna’s husband.”

“Oh! I see. I saw it in an article, but I was wondering if it was long. You two look so good together…!”

“thank you.”

I could tell that he wasn’t saying this as a formal greeting, and his excited tone made me smile too. He’s a very cheerful person.

“Wall! Wall!”

“bruise!”

Following the manager’s instructions, we crossed the hallway and entered a room, where another large space appeared.

Inside, there were several dogs running around freely. Somehow, unlike the pet shops I had seen on the street, it felt very open.

“Hey, come out here and see?”

“Woof! Woof!”

In one corner where the owner approached, there was a retriever playing with another dog. Strangely enough, the dog seemed to understand what he was saying, and when the owner made a gesture, it immediately came over to us.

He’s a very smart guy.

“What do you want to name it?”

“This time, you decide. I decided on the cheese.”

“Hmm….”

Are you saying you’ll give me the power to decide this time? If so, I guess I’ll have to think hard about the name.

First of all, since he is a male, I think a name that sounds a bit masculine would be better, and for some reason the color resembles injeolmi, so I want to call it injeolmi, but that seems like crossing the line…

“How about the floor?”

“Floor? You mean the floor to sit on?”

“Besides that, they say that Maru is actually a pure Korean word meaning sky.”

Since we have Seol-ha and Seol-ah at home, we named them after the sky with the hope that they would protect and cherish our children.

“Yeah, it’s good. It’s pretty.”

Yuna nodded as she pondered the meaning, reaching out to the child who would become our family member from today, and calling his name for the first time, “Maruya.”

Then, as if he realized that it was his name, the boy started acting cute by rubbing his head against the hand Yuna offered him.

I hope you get along well with our children.
