Chapter 204 – #204. Noconnosek
“Overseas Travel. About whether it’s okay as it is.”
“Why are you talking like that after having fun?”
As the return date approached, I felt the need to seriously give feedback on this trip.
“But wouldn’t it be enough to just stay in Korea after spending so long at the hotel?”
It was a six-hour flight, and we spent more than a third of it having sex in a hotel room.
“What. Is that why it’s a waste of time?”
“No. It’s not like that.”
I couldn’t deny my wife’s scolding, who opened her eyes wide, but it was a waste.
“You saw everything you could see. I took a lot of pictures.”
In fact, I didn’t feel much regret because I looked around all the famous tourist attractions, but this was all possible because the city was small.
“Well, we do what we want to do.”
When I shrugged her shoulders and expressed I don’t know, Naeun punched me in the butt.
“Hey. Why are you doing that at the airport?”
“Why. I sucked a dick in the theater, but I can’t do this much.”
I’m glad I’m not really Korean.
We are grateful that foreigners did not understand our language.
It was overwhelming thanks.
“Shall we eat something simple before we get on the plane?”
“I do that when my brother is hungry.”
We entered the food court on one side of the airport and each ordered the menu we wanted to eat.
“I want… Tacos.”
“I’ll buy you dumplings.”
We received a tray and sat in a corner of the restaurant, and we went back and organized our schedule.
“I’m going to go get an ultrasound tomorrow.”
“Has it become a poem that can tell the gender now?”
“Maybe?”
It’s the gender of the babies…
Having had a terrifying nightmare, I sometimes wondered if I would rather have a brother or sister.
“It would be nice if there was one male and one female. That’s it.”
“Uh… Um… Good… Huh…”
Because a dream is just a dream
“What is it. Didn’t I say that the male-female combination was good before? Not a good reaction?”
“No no. Good good.”
The face of a bad-tempered boy who looked exactly like Naeun caught my eye.
That’s right… If I teach well, such an idiot won’t come out.
Dipping the dumplings on Naeun’s plate and bringing them to my mouth, I thought about home education.
“Should we also decide on a family motto?”
“A family motto?”
“Did your house have anything like that?”
“Familiar motto… Do you have a family motto…?”
Naeun tapped her table with her fingers, and soon she opened her eyes wide as if she remembered something.
“Ah. That’s right. There is.”
“It’s not even family motto, but there’s something my dad used to say every day, right?”
“What?”
“Do people have to live honestly?”
“But you are not being honest.”
Naeun frowned as I spoke through her spinal cord without filtering.
“When am I?”
“You must have cheated on me on one or two occasions.”
“No. What do you have?”
Have you already forgotten all this?
Less than a year has passed, but you’re saying you don’t know everything about this?
“You didn’t tell me you were a white snowflake. I tricked myself and got another man’s drawing commissioned so I drew this shit. Do you think you can keep talking?”
As I talked with my hands clasped together like a detective interrogating me, Naeun glared at me with the feeling of a cornered criminal.
“It was force majeure.”
“It’s not a word that is meant to be used at such times. That.”
“Ah. I don’t know. My older brother asked me about my family motto and I answered him, but why are you fighting with me? Oh my dear, your dad made me like this~”
It was Na-eun who would make fun of the kids if she said anything unfavorable to herself like this.
“So what was your family motto?”
“My house said, ‘Let’s do well with me first.'”
“Then, take care of your brother first.”
Na-Eun snorted as if she was a teacher, and sucked on the cola with a straw.
“Hey. Okay, let’s decide our family motto.”
“Isn’t it because you have something you want to do?”
“Huh. That’s true.”
“What is it?”
Our children should never marry like us.
“Noconnosek”
I replied in a very serious tone, but Naeun hit the table with her fist.
“No. What kind of family motto is that?”
“Why. I think this is a very important part.”
“It’s like that even though I didn’t even protect it.”
“…So that’s why you’re doing this now.”
I married you at twenty-seven and went on a honeymoon.
“But oppa, if you say that, at what age will you tell me? To the kids?”
Hmm… I hadn’t even thought about that.
“I… First of all, if it’s a boy, right around the time you start watching porn?”
“I first saw him when he was a few years old.”
“Am I a middle school student?”
Doesn’t everyone usually see it that way?
In fact, children these days live in a more accessible world, so I wonder if they will learn more quickly.
“Then it’s a family motto that’s not revealed until then.”
“Ah. I want to add one more.”
“What is it?”
“If you’re a girl, don’t use contraceptives.”
Naeun burst into laughter as if my words were funny.
“No. Why.”
“That is fucking bad. The doctor who sold that is a quack.”
“No way. You knew from the start that it wasn’t 100%.”
“If it’s humanly 99%, I’ll be relieved and of course do it inside.”
I’m really sorry
However, she had no intention of blaming Naeun because it was me who kept her inside.
“Well… If oppa wants to do that, he does.”
“Are you agreeing?”
“But I’m a little embarrassed.”
“What.”
Naeun glanced around to see what she was about to say.
“Nocon is honestly boring.”
No. Naeun.
That’s true a hundred times, but is it our son or our daughter?
Are you thinking of becoming a grandmother at super speed?
“So let’s tell the kids to do it as a no-con?”
“Well… I can’t recommend it, but it feels like we’re all alone with something good?”
It’s subtle, but I think I know roughly what I want to say.
“I don’t know. But I don’t think that’s what we’re going to tell you.”
I sat the kids down and said, ‘Nocon is over! It’s a bitch!’ It can’t be like this.
“I am right. Wake up now.”
When I checked the time, there was not much left until boarding.
“Ah. When we arrive in Korea, let’s buy some kimchi stew before going home.”
“And. I like dogs. Admit.”
It seemed that her wife was also hungry for Korean food.
* * *
“Huh uhhhhh”
Humming a song while frying egg rolls, I turned my head to the sound of footsteps behind me.
“Woke up?”
“Why did you wake up and not wake me up?”
The day after returning from the honeymoon safely.
I woke up before my brother and was preparing breakfast.
“There’s nothing to do when you wake up.”
“Still. It’s boring when you’re alone.”
My brother quietly puts his hand on my belly.
“Did you make a reservation yesterday?”
“Are you a gynecologist? Yes. 3 o’clock.”
“I am nervous because I think I can find out the gender of something today. Right.”
“I think I just want to be healthy rather than gender.”
“You will be healthy.”
Sitting on a chair at the dining table, the older brother yawned loudly, and now he really exuded the energy of his husband.
“What is the menu?”
“Rolled egg, fried squid, and soybean paste stew.”
“No meat?”
“I haven’t been to the market since I went on a trip, so I don’t have one. Let’s go out later and buy it together.”
“So what?”
The two of us started eating after moving the side dishes to the table one by one.
Being abroad until yesterday felt like a dream.
“Brother. But when are you going to write the new one?”
“Yeah… But in many ways, I thought it would be better to write it after the situation has been sorted out.”
“When is that?”
“Maybe after giving birth?”
“Eh. So, are you going to play until winter?”
There was still quite a long time left before giving birth, so I couldn’t hide my wonder.
“It’s not like I don’t have living expenses right now.”
“That’s right, but…”
“Don’t worry. I will do the serialization properly.”
He wasn’t very trustworthy, but all I could do was trust him.
“If my brother says so.”
“Take care of your health rather than my serialization.”
After we finished eating and cleaned up the dishes, my brother prepared to follow me to the hospital.
“Brother. When do you buy a car?”
“I think we’ll go see it together next week, but even if we decide, it will probably take quite a while until we actually receive it.”
“Is it so?”
“Ok. I got a text saying the taxi had arrived. Let’s go.”
When we arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology clinic by taxi, we held hands.
“Hannah will come in.”
When the nurse, whose face had become quite familiar by now, called me out, I went into the treatment room with my brother.
“Yes~ Hannah~ If you look at the ultrasound picture here~”
It was a long talk, but the conclusion was that he was growing up in good health, so we were able to put it down.
“Do you have any questions?”
“Any gender…”
When my brother quietly asked, the doctor smiled and pointed at the picture with his finger to give an answer.
“If you look here…”
The subtle differences seen in the two children’s photos.
“It’s a boy and a girl!”
A drop of sweat ran down her husband’s neck.
