I woke up as usual even though it was my day off.
As usual, I was about to jump up from the bed, but I flinched and stopped moving.
“buuu… ”
Pooo…
Only then, I realized that I slept with the children yesterday.
I slowly got up from my seat and left the room so that the children wouldn’t wake up.
My mother, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, found me.
“Why did you wake up already? It’s a holiday, so lie down a little longer.”
“It’s okay. I’d better just wake up as usual.”
I pulled out a cup of hot coffee and sat on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV.
I enjoyed the relaxing time after a long time while watching the morning news.
I was a little worried that what happened yesterday might have been on the news, but fortunately, it wasn’t on the news.
While watching the morning news, half-asleep children opened the door and appeared.
“Papa…”
Speranza limped up like a zombie and threw herself on my lap.
Akum jumped up and settled on the opposite sofa, and Gyuri landed on his back.
It was a morning spent with children at home, not on a farm.
It was a fresh feeling.
“Si, breakfast is ready. Wake up the kids.”
“Okay mom! Hey Sleepyheads. Did you hear what grandma said. Get up get up…it’s almost time”
“I’ll sleep a little longer papa.”
“I still want to sleep more, popi…..”
Poo woooo
Thanks to the delicious smell of the prepared food, the children soon began to open their eyes little by little.
“Oh my! Speranza is a good eater. Here have some”
My mother carefully placed the rolled omelette into Speranza’s plate.
“Sihyeon, I want to try that popi.”
“omelette? Wait a minute. I’ll cut it into small pieces.”
Poo-woo! Poo-woo!
“Okay. I’ll give it to you, too.”
I cut the rolled omelet that came out as a side dish into small pieces and distributed it to Gyuri and Akum.
I don’t know if they liked the omelet, but all the remaining omelet soon disappeared from both of their plates.
By the end of the breakfast, Yerin appeared in a more energetic than her usual self.
“Good morning. Hello, cute babies!”
Speranza, who was shy of her energetic greeting, clung to me and looked at yerin.
“That’s the lady I saw yesterday popi. Good morning, popi.”
– Pow wo woo.
Gyuri and Akum greeted Yerin with half-curious and half-welcome eyes.
“Oh, how cute! Sihyeon, can I pet them?”
“Yes, it’s okay as long as you don’t stroke them too forcefully.”
As soon as my permission was given, Yerin reached out carefully towards Akum.
Akum had been used to human touch since he was a child, so he accepted it without hesitation.
Maybe he liked her touch, but rather, Akum approached first and acted cute.
“Sihyeon…this guy is acting cute to me, right? Ah..he’s So cute!”
In the end, Yerin couldn’t control her emotions and hugged Akum tightly in her arms.
Akum struggled for a while with the sudden hug, but quickly calmed down and looked comfortable.
Yerin was not satisfied with just Akum in her arms, she reached out to Gyuri.
However, unlike Akum, Gyuri was not easy.
“Ah! Don’t touch me like that, Popi. I won’t fall for such tricks easily popi.”
“Sorry, sorry… You’re so cute that I couldn’t control… Do you want to try this as an apology?”
“…What’s that popi.?”
“It’s my favorite bead ice cream.”
Yerin took out the bead ice cream she brought from home.
The colorful small beads quickly caught Gyuri’s attention.
Gyuri looked around at the bead ice cream, picked one up, and took a bite.
“Ugh. It’s cold. Popi. But it’s chewy and sweet. Popi.”
“Haha, is it good?””
“Well, it’s very delicious. Popi.”
While Gyuri was into the bead ice cream, Yerin patted the little fairy slightly and smiled contentedly.
Just a minute ago, the small fairy, who said she won’t fall easily, fell for the bead ice cream in an instant.
Speranza, who was next to me, also flinched and looked at Yerin and the children.
It seemed like Speranza also want to join them, so I lightly pushed Speranza’s hesitant back.
Speranza approached Yerin with a slight surprise.
“Oh! Here comes Speranza. Speranza, do you want to try this too?”
Nod Nod
“Now, don’t be surprised when you eat it because it’s cold.”
Yerin scooped the bead ice cream on a spoon and fed it to Speranza.
Speranza shivered for a moment at the cold ice cream flavor.
However, she gently shook her tail, perhaps because she liked the chewy and sweet taste that she felt.
While Yerin was getting close to the children, my mother finished her breakfast and came out of the kitchen.
“Yerin’s here.”
“Oh! Aunt Saya, I’m sorry I couldn’t even say hello because I was so focused on the cute babies.”
“Ho-ho, what can you do when the kids are so cute? By the way, did you have breakfast? Shall I prepare for you?”
“No, I’m fine. I usually only eat a simple breakfast. More than that, you should get ready to go out, right? Don’t you have an appointment at the hospital today.?”
My mother was surprised when she looked at the clock.
“Oh, my God, look at the time. I forgot my morning appointment since I was taking care of the children.”
“Don’t worry Aunt Saya, I’ll take you to the hospital, so get ready slowly.”
“Yerin, you? You don’t have to do that. On top of that, isn’t this your day off after a long time.”
“No it’s fine by me Aunt Saya. Also I have already planned an appointment with Sihyeon. So, all you have to do now is….. get ready.”
Yerin forced my mother into the bedroom.
“Are we really going?”
“Of course, you promised me yesterday. We’ll be taking the children shopping.”
“Ugh…”
I sighed, recalling my promise to Yerin, who was half drunk yesterday.
I made a promise, but I was worried whether it would be okay to take the children to crowded places.
“Don’t you think the children are too conspicuous?”
“No, they’re fine. People don’t care about their surroundings as much as you think. And on such a fine day like this, locking up the children inside the home is a sin?”
As Yein said, today was definitely a good day to go out.
I also wanted to go around with the children and make good memories.
“Well, let’s go out together.”
“That’s right, that’s how it should be.”
Yerin smiled at the children and said,
“Guys, let’s have fun at a fun place with sister today.”
“A fun place? Where?”
“Where are we going popi?”
– Poow-woo?
The children’s eyes were already twinkling with anticipation.
My mother’s checkup at the hospital was soon finished.
I heard the happy news that her physical condition has improved more than before.
It seemed like the steady use of Hap had a lot of influence.
I left the hospital pleasantly and got into Yerin’s car.
My mother sat in the front seat, while I sat in the back seat with the children.
“Aunt Saya, how was the test?”
“Everything is fine. The Doctor said, I don’t have to worry about my physical condition and the test results anymore.”
“That’s a relief. Then, since we heard the good news, shall we go right away?”
Yerin’s car left the hospital smoothly.
This is the second time that children have been in the car, so they were busy looking out the window.
I asked Yerin, who was driving.
“Where are we going?””
“If you want to shop, of course you should go to a shopping mall.”
“But can we go to such a place with Akum?”
“Don’t worry. I checked it in advance as a store, and it’s a place where pets can enter.”
“Um… But can we call Akum a pet?”
“He is…since he’s very cute?”
“……..”
I nodded casually at her words that seemed unconvincing and seemed to have something.
“Yerin is really thoroughly prepared, isn’t she?”
“Of course, Aunt Saya. I am a professional when it comes to having fun and resting.”
I burst into a smirk when I saw Yerin raising her chin proudly.
In a friendly atmosphere, Yerin smiled mischievously and said in a subtle voice.
“By the way…… wouldn’t people think of us as a one family?”
“Aunt Saya is the grandmother, Sihyeon as the father, and I am… the…mother?”
“You can really see it that way right…right.?”
Yerin asked a question with a sly look on her face.
My mother covered her mouth as if it wasn’t bad and smiled quietly, and I felt embarrassed.
Yerin didn’t stop here and talked to Speranza.
“Speranza, will you call me…. Mommy?”
Speranza looked at her with a sullen look and replied quite firmly.
“Dummy… No Mommy.!”
“Hahaha. That’s my girl. You’re so smart.”
I burst out laughing and hugged Speranza tightly.
Yerin distorted her face as if she had taken a shot.
Soon we arrived at a large shopping mall downtown.
Fortunately, the shopping mall was quiet because it was a weekday, not a holiday.
Yerin put a wide-brimmed hat on Speranza.
Thanks to that, we were able to hide Speranza’s fox ears.
Of course, Speranza’s fatal cuteness couldn’t be hidden, so it naturally caught people’s eyes.
Gyuri hid in the upper pocket of my jacket.
She pouted her lips and complained, and expressed frustration.
It was an inevitable choice since I could not let this curious fairy wander around freely.
In the case of Akum, whom I was most worried about, the problem was solved much easier than expected.
We told the shopping mall staff that he was a rare animal brought from abroad, and made Akum show his cutesy a few times.
Thus they allowed us to enter without much difficulty.
I put Akum in a pet stroller I borrowed from a shopping mall.
Akum looked up at us with his eyes sparkling, perhaps curious about the stroller.
“Oh, that’s so cute! I must take a picture of this!”
Yerin took out her cell phone and left to take a picture of Akum in a stroller.
I asked, stopping her from going wild.
“We’ll take a picture later….so where should we go first?”
“Ahem. I’ve already decided that.”
“….?”
“First is of course…Speranza’s apparel.”
