Although I showed an embarrassing scene to these guys who ca late, I managed to smooth things over and headed to the lecture hall together. However, all the way there, I couldn't escape the sound of them grumbling beside .
"So people start their day with a kiss from their pretty girlfriend, while we just slurp gukbap."
"It's our fault we're like this, who else can we bla?"
"True. Though I never imagined seeing that in the middle of a higher education institution like a university."
"......"
It was morning and close to the first lecture ti. I thought there wouldn't be anyone around and even checked, but they had to appear right at that mont from another path.
"Well, with a wife as pretty as yours, who wouldn't do that? If it were , I'd carry her around everywhere."
"Exactly. So why didn't you carry her here? You're hopeless."
These guys would've made a bigger fuss if I had carried her.
"You know we're not saying this because we're jealous, right?"
"Of course~ Jealous? We're just worried about you making out without caring about others' opinions in the grave of life called marriage."
My teeth grated. Stop saying you're not jealous if you are.
They occasionally participated in group dates and et-ups, so it wasn't fair to mock them for still being single. If these were my high school friends, I'd imdiately provoke them with, "Are you jealous?"
"Hey, you guys will get girlfriends soon too."
All I could offer was a vague hope.
But the two snorted at my words.
"We already ssed up yesterday, didn't we?"
"What happened yesterday?"
"A et-up with a won's university. They ended it after the first round, thinking it wasn't worth their ti."
"......"
There was no need to boast about a failed et-up.
"What's with that look? Are you pitying us?"
"Just because you're married now, you think we're a joke?"
"Wow, I didn't see you like this before, but you're really too much."
"Who would've thought that Yeonho, known for his good looks and personality, would end up mocking his classmates?"
"We should post this on the bulletin board."
What could I say here?
When we arrived at the lecture hall, I had to endure their jealous complaints for two hours. Just as my head was starting to ache from their incessant babbling, Yujin joined us.
Even though her class was at two, she ca because these guys had stirred up a frenzy in the group chat.
[Lee Chanhyung: Breaking news!!! Yeonho's wife is back on campus!! Seen at the university!!]
[Shin Jaehwan: (Shocked) It’s reported that they were kissing at the fork leading to Seongrim Hall from the morning...]
[Lee Chanhyung: Seriously, I wanted to die on the spot when I saw it.]
[Jung Juhyuk: Couldn’t you keep that to yourselves? These bastards are spreading the misery.]
[Shin Jaehwan: Misery loves company~]
[Jung Juhyuk: This is insane;;]
[Lee Yujin: Really?! You guys aren’t joking, right?! I’m coming over now!!]
[Lee Chanhyung: ? Don’t you have a lecture in the afternoon?]
[Lee Yujin: Does that matter? I’m leaving after I get ready, if you’re lying you’re dead!]
Of course, there were no other idle people who would co here on a non-lecture day just because of this group chat. Only Yujin arrived within an hour of hearing the news.
As soon as she arrived, she ca to my side and looked at with sparkling eyes.
"Oppa, oppa! Do you know what's going on right now?!"
"The lecture just ended. What's the fuss?"
"I saw on my way here, the group chat blew up saying your wife is finally here!"
"In other group chats? Well, Heena's that pretty."
She was so beautiful. Heena had made a big impression during orientation, so there was a lot of talk about her last year too.
It was likely that anyone from the engineering or social sciences departnts had at least heard of Heena.
"Word had already spread that you were married with a kid. But it blew up again because of that profile picture with the three of you!"
"That's been my profile picture for quite a while now."
"No one checks the profile pictures of soone who's been on leave for over a year. It's probably because she's back now."
"Well, I have the sa profile picture. Shouldn't there have been talk already?"
"Not really. Unless they're connected like us, they wouldn't have seen it. Most people just knew you had a kid from hearsay."
"Really? I didn't notice because I was always buried in assignnts."
True. Unless it's right in front of them, few people track down every rumor.
Now that Heena, a stunning beauty who turns heads on the street, was right in front of them, it made sense they were fired up.
"Anyway! As the class president, I have a lot of group chats with seniors, you know? It's complete chaos there! Did you know Sarang is quite famous?"
"Why Sarang?"
"Because she's cute! Well, it's a bit awkward to say this, but your profile picture with Heena has been circulating in various group chats since earlier."
"That's okay. We set it that way on purpose."
Our profile picture was chosen by Heena's strong will. She'd be glad it was spreading.
There would undoubtedly be people who spoke ill of our situation. But rumors would spread regardless, and such trivial things couldn't be prevented.
So we posted a family photo to deter people from hitting on us, especially Heena, who found it very annoying when n approached her.
I expected this, but I was still a bit curious.
"What are they saying? Any negative comnts?"
"Uh~ No, not really. Mostly that she's beautiful and Sarang is cute. And... uh..."
"And?"
"Well, so people... want to kill you, oppa... quite a lot, actually..."
"Like these guys?"
"Yeah..."
"Ugh, what did we do! They want to kill ? Fine, I admit, I kind of want to kill you too."
"I agree."
Yujin looked more bewildered than I did at their honest admissions.
"What did Yeonho oppa do wrong? Why don't you guys get girlfriends too!"
"If I hadn't seen that kiss this morning, I wouldn't feel this way..."
"That kiss scene was the clincher. It made insanely jealous. To the point of wanting to kill him."
"I want to see it too...!"
"See what? Let's go eat. Heena just called."
"Oh! Can I join too?!"
"Sure."
"Yay~ Oppa, maybe... another kiss at the restaurant...?"
"What are you talking about?"
Yujin followed us eagerly, secretly hoping for another kiss scene. Even though the morning kiss was an accident, I wouldn't do it on purpose for anyone to see. Heena might feel differently, though.
Anyway, after getting the call that class had just ended, we headed straight to the student cafeteria. With these three classmates in tow. Since Heena was coming with Lia, it should be fine.
The cafeteria was close to our engineering building, so we arrived quickly. Inside, we saw Heena and Lia already waiting for us. I also noticed the guys around them subtly glancing their way.
Heena had beco quite famous on campus, but not all students knew about her. So still approached her, unaware she was married. Like the guy at the table behind her, seemingly debating whether to talk to her.
Just the fact that there could be people like that was quite annoying, but on the other hand, I felt oddly proud knowing my wife was so beautiful that she received such advances.
After all, Heena only had eyes for .
"Hey, honey! Over here!"
As soon as she spotted , Heena waved her hand and called out loudly. The word "honey" in her call made most of the eyes in the room turn toward .
Well, even if it wasn't because of Heena, shouting "honey" in such a small space would naturally draw attention. Of course, the guy sitting behind Heena looked at with a face full of despair.
How dare he covet her?
Ignoring those looks, I approached the table where Heena was sitting and took a seat next to her.
"You ca quickly. It's been a while, Heena. Is it okay if my classmates join us?"
"Of course, it's fine~"
"We're just going to eat and leave anyway. You guys have another lecture in the afternoon, right?"
"That's true. Oh, Heena, you’ve t them before, right? This is Chanhyung, Jaehwan, and Yujin. My classmates from computer science."
"Hello, unnie! And... are you a senior?"
Yujin greeted Heena warmly and hesitated a bit while addressing Lia, unsure of what to call her.
"She's a sophomore. But Heena's case is a bit tricky. Should we go by year?"
"Why bother with all that? Just call unnie~ Anyway, I won't be around often."
"Yes, unnie!"
"Oh... hello."
"Hello, senior! And hello, sister-in-law!"
Yujin's cheerful greeting was followed by Jaehwan's sowhat hesitant hello, and Chanhyung bowed deeply while loudly greeting both Lia and Heena.
When he said "sister-in-law," Heena's face lit up with the brightest smile.
"It's been a while, Chanhyung, right? Please take care of from now on."
"No need for that, sister-in-law! Please speak comfortably!"
"Should I?"
"Yes! And please let see Sarang next ti! She's so cute, just like you and hyung."
"Hehe... Call Yeonho and co visit us soti. Our Sarang loves people, so she'd be happy to see you."
"Of course, I'll definitely visit!"
This guy knows how to socialize. He was picking the exact words Heena would like.
Watching Heena's reaction, Chanhyung smoothly led the conversation. Seeing him like this, he seed like he'd do well at et-ups, so why did he fail?
I've never been to a et-up, so I don't know, but maybe looks do matter.
Too bad, Chanhyung.
Author's Note:

I want to quickly write Sarang's childcare diary!
