Busan trip day.
The whole family gathered early in the morning and set off right away. It was too early for Jihu, who was sleeping in his sister-in-law's arms, and Sarang also looked sleepy, but what can you do with kids?
Preparation was quite easy since we planned to rent most of the fishing gear, so we didn't have much luggage. Though in the end, my brothers each bought a fishing rod. I'm not sure what they were thinking.
And so began the long journey to Busan.
I chattered non-stop in the 9-seater Carnival that Heeseong hyung and Rin noona had rented. This was my way of overcoming motion sickness.
Taking motion sickness pills was a given, but from my life experience so far, I've realized that if I keep talking to soone without stopping, I don't get motion sick as easily.
I'm not sure if it's the sa for everyone or just .
"Dad, do you like the black one more? Then I like the black one the most too!"
"Oh really? But Daddy likes the spotted one too~"
"T-then I also like the spotted... Oh, I don't know! Who does Dad like the most?!"
"Well, I might like the white one more?"
"What?!"
"Honey. Sarang. Here, have an apple."
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
Anyway, for that reason, I was chatting about all sorts of things with Sarang, who was sitting in the middle. Bringing up every topic under the sun. Sarang seed to enjoy it too, happy that I was focusing on her and constantly talking to her.
Heena was peeling fruit for us as we chatted enthusiastically. Whenever the conversation was about to lull, she'd bring up a new topic, allowing to keep the conversation going.
"Hey, are you two the only ones eating?"
"Not at all. I'm giving so to Sunhoo hyung in the back too."
"What apple for the guy lying down and playing in the back seat?! Give us so!"
"Hyung, just focus on driving. Sarang, should we give so apple to your aunt?"
"Yes! Auntie! I'll give you an apple!"
"Really?"
As Sarang said that and stabbed an apple slice with her fork, Rin noona, sitting in the passenger seat, imdiately turned around.
"Auntie! Ah~"
"Oh... okay... Ah~"
However, still not used to such behavior among family mbers, she hesitated a bit before gently opening her mouth.
And Sarang puts the small piece of apple in noona's mouth. She chews it shyly.
"Is it tasty?"
"Yes... it's delicious. Even more so because Sarang gave it to ."
"Then I'll give you one more!"
"Thank you."
"Sarang! What about ?! You're not giving any to your uncle?!"
"Uncle has to drive!"
"I can eat an apple while driving!"
"Can you give the fork to auntie? I'll have her give it to uncle."
"Okay!"
"No... not you, Sarang... Oof."
Even though the road wasn't congested, Rin noona subdued Heeseong hyung, who wanted to get an apple from Sarang.
"Mmm... It is tasty. But why is it so lumpy? Did Heena cut this?"
"Oppa, be quiet. Unless you want to be kicked to the other lane."
"Sorry..."
Anyway, we headed to Busan, feeling a rather cheerful atmosphere. The five of us chatting excitedly, except for Sunhoo hyung lying down in the very back, playing on his phone.
There were six of us in our car, and in the other car were Jeongwoo hyung driving, his wife, and our parents looking after Jihu.
Both were 9-seater Carnivals, so there was plenty of space, making the trip quite comfortable. Thanks to my constant chatter, I hardly felt any motion sickness.
Actually, my motion sickness was what worried most about this trip, but fortunately, my thod proved effective. Not even a hint of nausea, it seems.
So, feeling excited, I called out to Sarang, who was munching on an apple beside .
"Sarang! Want to play a ga with Daddy?"
"Umm... okay!"
"Han Sarang! Swallow what's in your mouth before speaking!"
"Yes..."
Oops. Sorry, Sarang...

Maybe because it was still June, the road to Busan wasn't too congested. We arrived at the guest house run by Yu Jun and his parents without any issues or motion sickness.
Before we arrived, Jun, who had received my ssage, was already waiting for us out front.
"Hyung, it's been a while!! i'm finally seeing your face in Busan~"
"Indeed. Have you been well?"
"We talk every day, what are you... Oh my~ Hello! I'm Yu Jun, Yeonho hyung's boot camp buddy!"
"The guest house is so pretty~ Thank you for having us~"
"Thanks for inviting us. You have a nice deanor."
"Thank you! And you're paying for everything, so I haven't done much... But I'll make sure to throw in plenty of barbecue service!"
His chubby build and Yu Jun's characteristic glib tongue were still the sa. He said he started helping manage the guest house his parents were running because it was hard to find a job after graduation...
Well, he was always good at diligently doing things one by one since boot camp, so I'm sure he's doing well now too. I heard the number of guests has increased a lot since Jun started helping.
After greeting and my family, he was glancing towards Heena and Sarang with an expectant look on his face.
I understood why he was acting like that. He'd only seen photos for four years and just heard stories from , after all. I decided to introduce them now since my brothers were just parking the car anyway.
"Heena, Sarang. Why don't you say hello to Yu Jun?"
"Hello. My husband has told a lot about you, Yu Jun-ssi."
"Hello, uncle! I'm Sarang!"
"Wow... It's really nice to et you. Yeonho hyung bragged about his wife and Sarang so much. I was really je... envious."
"Oh really? Honey, so that's what you've been up to~"
"Well, of course."
How could I not brag about my amazing wife and daughter?
After a brief greeting, Jun guided us to our rooms when my brothers returned. He probably wanted to chat more, but he was being considerate since the whole family was waiting.
The rooms we saw were beautiful, just as they looked in the photos and from the outside. They were rooms that had clearly been carefully thought out. No wonder he could confidently say they get booked up quickly.
Cleanliness was a given, and while I'm not an expert on interior design, it was the kind of place where you'd naturally say it has a great atmosphere at first glance.
As we followed Jun around, we confird that we had 'officially' rented two rooms. Simply put, one room for the n and one for the won.
We had considered dividing by family units, but the family rooms weren't particularly spacious, so we decided to split by gender to avoid any potentially uncomfortable situations.
And in addition to that.
"Honey, what about our room?"
"I've arranged it. We've rented a small couple's room separately, so we can put Sarang to bed and go there."
"I saw in the photos that the atmosphere is similar to the family room. It's pretty, I like it~"
"Right? It wasn't this nice originally, but Jun said they started paying more attention to the interior after he started working."
While Sarang was running around exploring the room, Heena and I quietly discussed the third room.
The plan was to spend ti together until late at night, and once Sarang fell asleep in the room, we'd quietly move to our room. However, if she didn't fall asleep easily or asked to sleep with , we decided we'd have no choice but to go with it.
If that happened, we'd just take her with us and sleep together, what else?
We ended up in this complicated situation because we didn't want to force her to sleep or lie to her. Or even if we slept together, it would be manageable as long as she didn't cling to while sleeping.
We occasionally went to motels like this even at ho. The problem nowadays was that she always clung to while sleeping. Oddly enough, she'd wake up quickly if I tried to just loosen her grip.
"Alright~ That's all! Here's a key card for each of you~ You said you didn't need anything else, so I'll prepare the barbecue separately later! Fishing starts at 6 AM tomorrow, so please gather in front of the building by 5:30 AM!"
As if the room explanation was over, Yu Jun clapped his hands once and gave us the final schedule explanation. With that, everyone started unpacking in their respective rooms, and Jun approached .
"So, what do you think? Not bad, right?"
"Man, I'm really impressed. Isn't running a guest house your true calling? The interior design is no joke."
"Ha! Glad you noticed! Renovating all this was seriously tough! Dad was insisting on so weird classic or modern style..."
"Isn't that fine too?"
"It could be if done well, but it wasn't classic, just old-fashioned."
"Ah..."
I imdiately understood what he ant. Of course, I couldn't say much more since I hadn't seen the guest house back then, but given that it's now booked up, Yu Jun must be doing a good job.
After that, Yu Jun, looking sowhat awkward, greeted Heena again as she stood beside .
"I only gave a brief greeting earlier... Once again, it's nice to et you."
"Nice to et you too~ And thank you for booking our room."
"Ah, it's nothing."
"Why are you suddenly acting like this?"
He seed quite boisterous earlier, but now that we were alone, he was being very shy. In response to my question, Yu Jun grumbled in a small voice.
"Well, she's just so pretty... How did you even et soone like her..."
"If you work hard, it's possible for you too."
"Don't say things you don't an."
"I think it might be difficult even if you work hard..."
"You son of a..."
"Daddy!! There's a rabbit doll over there!! It's super cute!"
"Is that so?"
As the three of us were talking in the hallway, Sarang ca running out of the room. Seeing Sarang's innocent appearance, Yu Jun's face broke into a grin.
I could understand that feeling. Sarang's cuteness is pretty lethal. Even I, who see her every day, often struggle to keep a straight face.
I decided to do Yu Jun a favor.
"Looks like this uncle put the rabbit doll there for Sarang to see. You should say thank you to uncle~"
"Oh! Uncle! Thank you!"
"Hehehe, no need to thank ~ Want to bring more dolls? Uncle has lots of them!"
"Really?!"
As Sarang, full of excitent, smiled brightly right in front of him, Yu Jun looked like he was about to die of happiness.
I'm grateful for the guest house invitation too, so enjoy that happiness to your heart's content.
While this was happening, Heena glanced at with a subtle smile. I smiled back at her.
Judging by Sarang's current energy level, she'll surely be tired and fall asleep quickly by evening. If Sarang suddenly falls asleep, Yoonjung noona agreed to look after her.
As for us...
We'll be able to spend a fun ti together after a long while without any. It's for our second child.
Author's Note:
Whether it'll be a son or daughter is a toss-up.
Baby-making...!! I'll do my best!! Not sure if it'll be skipped or not!!!
