Chapter 1407 – A Portable Cradle in One Hand, a Knife in the Other.
It was common sense that newborns with weak immune systems should not go out. But there were days when you absolutely had to go out. Vaccination day like today.
“… “Is this enough?”
I got up and looked down at the cradle. Inside the portable cradle was Jihoo, ready to go out. In addition to underwear, I put on a baby jeogori and a padded jumper for newborns. This would be enough to block the cold wind.
“Brother. Have you finished preparing?”
Instead of Mawang, who stayed up all night taking care of Jihu, Sehee decided to come with me. She padded out of her room and came out into the living room, stood next to me and looked down at her crib. She asked after seeing Ji-hoo fully prepared to go out.
“Our Jihoo. Are you excited to go out? “I see you smiling brightly?”
“He’s not smiling right now.”
“What are you saying? Anyone who sees you is smiling. Doesn’t my father know this?”
“No?”
Ji-hoo didn’t show much of a reaction even when Se-hee said words full of love. It just looked up at us with bright eyes and wriggled its short limbs.
“Hmm. “You guys.”
I was about to go out because Sehee, who I had decided to go with, also came. At this time, the Demon King stumbled in from the hallway. She stayed up all night watching Jihoo, yawned widely and said.
“Haaam, you guys. “You’re still there?”
“Oh, yes. I’m going to leave now. “And you?”
“Hmm. “I’m anxious about sending my only son away.”
“What could possibly be happening?”
“Sweet! Don’t stack flags! Well, in that sense. Jiheon.”
The Demon King approached us and groped his back. Soon, the hand held out to me was holding a large jungle sword.
“Take it with you.”
“Why are you taking this?! Are you going to get arrested if you go!”
“It’s okay? If you don’t get caught, you’re screwed. “Put it away.”
“No, that’s enough! Don’t put it in your pocket! “I’m not going in anyway!”
“Uh-huh! If an adult gives you something, you should say thank you and accept it! What rude behavior! “How dare you!”
“Oh, well. Because you are older than I.”
“Don’t forget whose hand the sword is in. Jiheon.”
“But if you’re pretty, you’re all younger! “I only trust you!”
Haha! Brother! Have a nice trip! “This is a gift from Jim!”
“Don’t give me the knife! “A little!”
The Demon King kept trying to hand Jihoo the jungle sword, as if he was anxious that Jihoo was about to leave his embrace. I kept stopping her from putting it in her hand or putting it in her pocket.
“Why are you telling me to take a knife with me! What the hell!”
“While you’re out, the world might become full of zombies!”
“Huh. That could be possible.”
It was common for zombies to take over the world for a short period of time. Even though it only happened in my imagination, there was no way it wouldn’t happen since I’d been to another world as well.
“That’s possible?!”
However, Se-hee did not understand this romance, or rather, the circumstances. She, who was shocked to hear our conversation, calmed her mind with a sigh and asked.
“Ha, sister. “If you’re that anxious, can’t we just go together?”
“Oh! “That’s a good idea,”
“No. You woke up tonight. “No.”
The Demon King was pleased as soon as he heard it, and before he could finish speaking, I shook my head and interrupted him. No matter how strong our bodies were, it was better to get a good night’s sleep.
“Umm… !”
He frowned when he saw me firmly refuse. As if he didn’t like her at all, he crossed his arms around her without putting down her jungle sword. At this time, Se-hee calmed down the devil, but continued to spread absurd nonsense.
“Are you okay. “If you don’t give your car keys to your brother, the world will be safe.”
“Hey.”
“Haha! That’s right! Then you will be at ease!”
“Why are you so relieved! It’s okay! Give it to me! “Give me the knife!”
It seemed as if he was saying that it was more dangerous for me to get behind the wheel than to go out into the jungle. I was a little angry and tried to grab the sword the devil was holding.
“Hmm. “It’s here.”
“Huh?”
I got the jungle map out easier than I thought. The Demon King, who did not resist at all and obediently handed over the item requiring a possession permit, explained the reason.
“It’s a hundred times better than having yourself behind the wheel.”
“Oh, kinda!”
“Hmm. I’m sorry. Not a hundred times, but a thousand times, no, ten thousand times? “A hundred million times?”
“No! What did I do! “I’ve never had an accident!”
“Hmm. Jim always found that fascinating too.”
“No, sister.”
I was about to say something when I saw an even more unfair reaction. But before I could open my mouth, Sehee interrupted, shaking her head. Then, she spoke even harsher words than her sister.
“The accident didn’t happen because we stopped my brother.”
“Hmm! Yes! That was it! The luggage was what prevented the accident!”
“Do you remember what you were in your past life?”
“So do you remember what kind of person you were and drive a car? Like that?”
What did I do… !
“Hmm. But that’s it.”
The Demon King, who had finally broken his stubbornness, looked away. He said as he looked at Ji-hoo struggling with his short limbs in the cradle, ready to go out.
“Isn’t the clothing too thin?”
“Thin?”
“Hmm. It’s too thin. If things continue like this, you’ll get frostbite as soon as you leave the house.”
“Say you’d rather catch a cold. A little. And they even put padding on it, but it’s so thin.”
“Umm. It looks thin… !”
“I heard it’s okay.”
Even after calming him down several times, the Demon King’s anxiety did not go away. Looking around her with her anxious blue eyes, she suddenly smiled and shouted.
“Hmm! Jiheon! Is there any breast milk to feed along the way? “Ji-hoo is so good at eating because he looks like Jim!”
“Nothing.”
“Haha! I knew it! If so, make it right now.”
“I’m going to feed you formula.”
“…”
“I mixed it with warm water in advance and put it in a thermos. Diapers, extra clothes, handkerchiefs, and wet wipes. I got everything. All you have to do is leave like this.”
“… “Sheesh.”
Even though she prepared meticulously, she received unfavorable looks. Her face wrinkled like that of her mother-in-law who seemed to have failed to find fault with her daughter-in-law.
“Hmm. That’s right…”
But that was only for a moment. The Demon King stroked her chin and looked at Jihoo in the cradle to see if there was another problem. Now, there seems to be no anxiety about Jihoo’s first outing.
“Hmm… !”
She looked around for a few minutes and didn’t seem to find anything to complain about. She couldn’t stand it and spoke to the demon king who was looking down at the cradle with a disapproving expression.
“Okay? Are you leaving now?”
“For a moment! Just wait a moment! I think I’ll remember it soon!”
“What kind of quiz is this? I’ll go now. Come on, let’s go. Jihoo.”
“Ahh! Jiheoeon!”
“It’s time for a hospital appointment in a little while. “I have to go now.”
I tried to lift the portable cradle that Jihoo was riding in. The Demon King grabbed his arm holding the cradle handle and stopped him from going.
“Jiheon! I’ll remember it in a little while! Ah! You! Jihoo, did you get anything to eat?”
“I told you earlier that I brought powdered milk. “Let go of this.”
“Again, again! Extra clothes to change into! “You must have taken that, right?”
“I said I took care of it.”
“The knife! Did you take a knife?”
“That too, no! Why are you taking this with you?”
“Ugh! “I shouldn’t have told you!”
Until the Demon King asked, I had forgotten about the jungle sword in my other hand. A portable cradle in one hand, a knife in the other. He almost looked like the main character in an apocalypse story.
“No, what’s wrong?”
I asked after setting down the cradle that Jungle Island and Jihoo were in on the living room sofa. No matter how playful the Demon King was, it wasn’t like this. I looked at the Demon King, who seemed strangely anxious because I thought there was something I didn’t know about.
“…”
The Demon King did not answer why he was doing this. He pouted his light pink lips, lowered his head and raised his blue eyes to look at me. Like a puppy waiting for its owner.
“Oh, really?”
Although he didn’t say anything with his mouth, his sullen face spoke volumes. I understood right away and frowned exaggeratedly, like when the devil was playing a prank.
“Do you want to get scolded?”
“Hmm?”
“Do you want to keep joking around? “Should we go get Jihoo vaccinated?”
“Jiheon?”
“I can’t do it. You come here. Let’s get it right.”
“Jiheon?!”
The demon king, who was astonished at being asked to hit him, relaxed his sullen expression and his face was colored with astonishment. I hugged the embarrassed Demon King tightly with both arms, so he couldn’t escape and started beating him mercilessly.
“You are perfect. Ugh! Side!”
With your lips.
“Side! Side! Side! Side! Side! Side! Side! Side!”
“Ji, Jiheon?!”
“It’s noisy! You’re still scolding me! Side! Side! Side! Side! Side!”
“Aha! Hot! Jiheon! “Stop it!”
“No! I’ll keep going! Side! Side! Side!”
The Demon King twisted his body around as if he was trying to escape from my arms. He tried to dodge by turning his head, but eventually gave up and quietly accepted my attack.
From the time she left the postpartum care center until now, the devil has never been home alone. Jihoo was with me when I went grocery shopping, and it lasted less than an hour. The Demon King was anxious about being left alone.
“Side! Side! Side! Side!”
To calm the devil’s anxiety, I gave him kisses here and there on his face without stopping. A neat forehead, soft cheeks, gently closing eyelids, a pointed nose, and even light pink lips that gently smile.
“Oh, you. Sehee is watching… !”
As I received countless kisses, my cuteness increased. The Demon King looked as shy as he did when he was dating and pointed to Sehee next to him.
“No. I’m not watching. “Because I don’t want to see it.”
Before we knew it, Sehee had turned around and was showing her back to us. Shaking his head while shaking the black hair that had grown down to his back, he walked over to the cradle placed on the living room sofa and closed the folding lid.
“Jihoo. You don’t see things like that. Jiji. Support.”
“Hey?!”
It’s amazing that mom and dad get along so well!
“Jiheon! “It looks like Jim hasn’t been scolded yet!”
Even though I was about to say something to Sehee, I turned my head to the devil’s voice mixed with laughter. Now, there was a brightly smiling face in front of me without any anxiety.
