Although a very small problem arose, afterward, Sunhoo woke up and even Jeongwoo, who had gone to work despite it being the weekend, returned.
"Little one~ Do you want some snacks?"
"Yes! Sarang loves snacks!"
"How about ice cream? You like strawberry ice cream, don't you?"
"I want it!!"
As soon as they saw Sarang, they were eager to buy her something or feed her. Well, everyone was like that, but still.Of course.
"Han Sarang."
-Shriek
"S-Sarang needs to eat her meal. I want to eat my meal... Sarang wants to eat."
Since she had already been scolded once yesterday for eating snacks before dinner, Sarang flinched at Heena's words and began asking for food.
Thanks to that, although it was a bit early, we all ate together and then had snacks and ice cream the brothers brought while chatting.
As usual, we briefly caught up on each other's lives and mostly talked about Sarang or listened to Sarang's stories.
"Hyuna has a puppy at home! It's so cute!"
"These days, there are a lot of places where you can raise children and pets together."
"Should we have gotten a cat too?"
"Absolutely not."
At my casual remark about pets, Heena firmly opposed it.
"If we had a cat, you'd be looking at the cat all the time."
"......."
It's hard to completely deny that.
"Sarang also wants to see a puppy!"
Sarang, envious of her friend's boast from daycare yesterday, kept saying things like that. Although she primarily liked cats, she also had a fondness for other small animals. ?
"Shall we go to a dog cafe next time? Take Sarang with us."
"Should we? But if we're going anyway, a cat cafe might be better."
"Hmm... Sarang, do you want to see puppies or kitties?"
At my question, Sarang answered without hesitation.
"Kitties!!!"
"Looks like we're going to a cat cafe."
She was probably curious and envious of her friend's puppy, but ultimately, she preferred cats. Well, if I had to choose, I'd go with cats too.
"Daddy! Are we going to see kitties?"
"Yes... let's go in ten nights."
"Wow!!"
I had to figure out when we'd go, but saying ten nights for now should suffice.
"Grandma! We're going to see kitties!!"
"Did you want to see kitties that much?"
"Yes!"
Sarang, unable to hide her excitement, was already hopping around in joy. And as the conversation progressed, Sunhoo suddenly grabbed my shoulder and asked.
"Hey, when are you going?"
"Why, do you want to come?"
"When are you going?"
I almost laughed at his serious face. Jeongwoo and my sister-in-law were also waiting for my answer with similar expressions.
But the timing. Deciding that wasn't up to me. I didn't mind when, but Heena's schedule was the priority.
I guessed we might go on the weekend.
"Heena, when are you free?"
"Well... it might be crowded on the weekend, so I'd prefer to go on a weekday... how about Thursday? I'll take a day off."
"Can you take a day off?"
"Next week should be okay."
As soon as Heena gave her answer, I saw the faces of three adults filled with despair. Well, they couldn't come on weekdays because of work. And it seemed tough to take a day off given how busy they were lately.
"Kitties! Hayan! Sarang is going to see kitties!"
Seeing Sarang boasting to her cat doll after telling her grandparents wasn't enough made me think we should have taken her sooner.
To somehow make up for not being able to go to the cat cafe together, we stayed at my parents' house for dinner and only returned in the evening.
And that night.
"Sarang~ do you want to sleep with Grandma tonight? Grandma wants to sleep with you~"
"I want to sleep with Grandma too!"
"Oh my~ really? Grandma will read you a storybook~"
"Wow!!"
"......"
"Honey, shall we go in too?"
"Okay..."
Sarang went into the master bedroom holding her grandparents' hands, and I returned to our room to have a talk with Heena.
But before Heena could speak, I beat her to it.
"I love you, Heena. More than anything in the world."
"You said you liked Sarang more earlier."
"How could I say otherwise in front of her? You know my heart, right?"
"I don’t know."
"Come on, don’t be like that. Should I show you?"
"Hmph, how?"
I gently hugged Heena, who was sneering and glaring at me.
"I’ll do whatever you want. Okay?"
"Really?"
"Of course. Have I ever not done what you wanted?"
"Heh..."
Heena must have known I had no choice earlier. Thankfully, her pout didn't last long, and soon she accepted my touch with a softened face.
As we continued our playful affection, Heena suddenly brought up something unexpected.
"Honey, you couldn't eat properly earlier because you were taking care of Sarang, right?"
"No, I ate well."
"Still~ you’re a bit hungry, aren’t you?"
"A little... but why?"
I was a bit distracted while eating because Sarang clung to me. But just watching her eat made me feel full.
I wondered why she brought up food, and then she continued.
"Should I give you some food?"
"Huh? Why so sudden? What kind of food?"
I asked, puzzled, and Heena smirked, cupping her breasts with both arms.
"Huh~? I meant food."
"......"
Then I realized. She was talking about the milk from her breasts that even Sarang had never tasted.
No wonder she wore a slip today; her pouting was just a cover, and she had planned this all along. I silently watched as Heena slowly lowered the straps off her shoulders.
As Heena's breasts fully revealed themselves in the darkness, I could no longer hold back and lunged at her.
"Give me food!"
"Ah..."
But would milk even come out?
I wasn't sure, so I had to find out now.

(feat. Yoonjung)
Lee Yoonjung loved her in-laws dearly.
She loved her seemingly indifferent yet caring husband, her in-laws who had always been kind and considerate, and her husband's sister, who had always been sweet and thoughtful.
Not to mention Yeonho's wife, Heena, and their daughter, Sarang. They were nothing short of angels.
That’s why she always played mischievous pranks on them whenever they met. It made her feel like those boys in elementary school who teased the girls they liked. They were so cute that she couldn't help but want to mess with them.
Despite her busy yet fulfilling life, whenever she saw her brother-in-law’s family, she had only one wish.
'Stay like this forever.'
From the first time she saw them, she thought they made a lovely couple. Heena always treated Yeonho well, and Yeonho never took it for granted, always thinking about what more he could do for her.
Of course, when they first dated in high school, she worried they might break up, but fortunately, that never happened. Now they were even raising a child.
A child who was as lovely as an angel.
Even now, their relationship hadn't changed; they still cared for and cherished each other deeply.
Looking at the picture-perfect happy family, Lee Yoonjung could only wish.
She wished they would stay just like that.
She hoped they would remain a dreamlike, ideal happy family.
Watching them made even the observer smile.
Of course, Lee Yoonjung also considered herself happy. She never felt a lack of love from her husband, Jeongwoo.
But watching Yeonho and Heena made her feel like she was dreaming. Weren’t they the epitome of a happy couple that everyone dreams of before getting married?
So, she wished.
She wished that the story of this family, filled only with happiness, would never end.
She wished that she could always laugh with them, right beside them.
"Ah~ I want to go to the cat cafe with Sarang too!!!"

Oh, no, it’s not like that with family... just kidding. Actually, it's because writing R-rated content requires focus, and I don't have enough time for that...
