chapter 196
This is where I and Heena came to because they worked hard to pick and choose.
It was almost a new apartment building, so there was only one occupant before we moved in. It was also confirmed that there were no major defects since the period was about three or four years.
This 25-square-foot house, to be honest, was objectively not that small. Hee-na’s house is so large that it’s only relatively small compared to it.
Besides, I didn’t go down to the countryside, and after considering various aspects of the location of the house, I came to an apartment complex that was less than 20 minutes on foot from Heena’s hometown.
At first, I wanted to move to a place that also considered Heena’s commuting to work, but in the end I had to think about Sarang and Som’s going to school. The further away you are, the more concerned about safety, and it will be difficult to meet friends.
Thanks to that, the house price was not a joke. It was in the middle of Seoul, the surrounding location was good, and the apartment was a new building that could be said to be new construction. The basic structure of the house and the interior were also neat and beautiful to match the current feeling.
But I liked the house so much that I had to give it up, so I put my head together with Heena and thought about it for a few days.
“If you’re looking for a full loan… Still, it’s a bit tight. We can’t even apply as newlyweds…”
“A middle-aged couple.”
“You say so.”
We registered our marriage very early, and above all, our combined income was quite high, so it was difficult to get good loans from the state. Besides, I was thinking of buying and selling rather than going into a charter house.
Actually, these parts were too difficult, so I received counseling from my father-in-law and my father in many ways. Even looking at contracts and loan documents, there were a lot of things that I didn’t know what they were talking about, so I got dizzy.
Then, in the end, I got a little support from my family in the financial part. Thanks to this, I got a house full of debt, but somehow managed to finish the sale safely.
And for almost a month, unlike when we lived together before, we seriously pick up and buy home appliances one by one, and, most importantly, carefully examine the children’s beds and desks.
It was not a time when those shopping were just fun. I bought it because I was really thinking about making my head explode. Still, the adrenaline explosion of decorating ‘Our House’ made it possible.
The day I finally left Heena’s home after stuffing things like that.
“If anything happens… I’ll be sure to contact you… I’m not worried because we’ve both been doing well…”
“I will. Don’t worry too much. I will hear you often.”
“Yeah, Mom. It’s very close~ I’ll come often.”
“Grandma…don’t cry…”

Mother-in-law was in tears. My mother-in-law, who always smiled and gave me bright energy. Now you can’t overcome the emptiness and loneliness of the house where only the two of you are left with the father-in-law.
And while we comforted our mother-in-law, we ended up weeping together. This is where Heena lived her whole life except for the period she was alone for a while, and where I lived for more than 10 years since I was 20.
Expectations for the new house and our nest were of course high, but the emptiness of leaving here also settled in the corner of my heart.
Because for me, it was a place like home.
After spending a day weeping with everyone, including the father-in-law who was wiping away tears in the corner.
we left to our new home.
—
The biggest thing that happened recently was our moving, but the second was about my job. I’ve been thinking about this really, not for a while now, but for almost a few years after I first decided to become independent.
And what I chose was to renegotiate the payroll and work from home. The reason I made this decision was because I didn’t want to depend entirely on facilities such as daycare centers or my family for my children.
Above all, for children, I thought it was really important emotionally to have a family who was always waiting at home. But it didn’t make sense for Heena to quit her job for that, and I couldn’t quit her job either.
Because I and Heena had to work hard to pay off the borrowed money and loans. However, I thought that it would be okay if I could choose a stable telecommuting option with a slightly reduced salary.
In fact, since I was a member who worked hard with me for a long time from the beginning, the company gave me a lot of convenience. Besides, it’s an IT job, so this kind of work isn’t really impossible.
Of course, when I first brought up the story, Heena immediately objected.
“Then you’re struggling too much. If you want to do housework, take care of your wishes, and work there…”
“Hey, it’s housework. You and Sarang always do it together. Besides, hope takes care of you, well. You don’t fall apart from me, so you’re very gentle.”
“But… but…”
“Heena.”
“yes…”
“Your mouth is smiling?”
“Oh, no. It’s not… heh…”
But it was only with words, and just by looking at his face, I could tell he was very pleased with my decision. Needless to say, if I had just said that I was going to become a full-time housewife, I feel like I would have held a party altogether.
I am also greedy for work, and realistically, I have to think about loans, living expenses, and savings for the future, so being a full-time housewife was absolutely impossible.
Heena-ya, there were times when we were busy with each other, even though we lived together, but now we don’t have that, so we must have been happy about that.
Of course, with this work-from-home case, I wondered if it was possible that I was rushing too fast on my own. So, besides Heena, I also consulted with family and friends, and everyone said it would be a good idea if they could afford it.
It is definitely important for parents to spend as long as possible with their children.
“Then is Daddy always at home?!”
“Yeah. After I move, I will work from home. How is love?”
“It’s great! Then when you come back from school, you’ll always have a daddy?!”
“Well… maybe it’s because I’m not going to the grocery store?”
“Wow!”
“Do you like Somang to stay at home with your dad?”
“Joa. Do you want to share values with Dad?”
“What! I envy Som! I want to stay with you too!”
I couldn’t say that my actions were the right answer, but seeing the children so happy, I think it’s infinitely close to the right answer.
After moving like this, the working environment completely changed.
This is how it started.
our new life.
—-
A few days after moving.
How does it feel to switch to full-fledged work and spend most of the day at home every day?
If someone asked me, I could answer confidently.
called honey.
It’s not easy to create a work environment because it’s home, so my mind is relaxed. Working from home is harder than you think. All of those things were excuses when I saw them.
Whatever the reason, honestly, I couldn’t help but feel more comfortable than at work. First of all, since I don’t have time to commute, I eat half of it.
Although the salary has decreased that much, it was very good considering that part. It’s really great. exhilarating
So today, I woke up early in the morning enjoying my leisure time. The bed still smells like new, and Heena is asleep with her body turned towards me.
And next to our bed, there was also a small bed in which Hope was sleeping. There was a separate room for Somang, but she still hates sleeping alone.
Anyway, there is no love today. Love still sleeps together, or often comes into our bed at dawn.
Anyway, as soon as I opened my eyes, I immediately got up.
“Huh…”

Yawning loosely, he carefully closed the door and went out into the living room.
A quiet house with all the lights off. Although we got a little help, our house that Heena and I worked hard to buy. Every time I wake up in the morning and look around the house like this, a strange sense of satisfaction fills my heart.
It was like when I was playing with a big box as a secret base when I was young. The feeling of having your own space.
After being immersed in emotion for a while, I slowly headed towards the kitchen. A neatly organized induction sink, a U-shaped kitchen that can also be used as a dining table, was also one of my personal spaces.
Apparently, I cook a lot, so I adjusted the arrangement of various tools to suit my taste. The only thing I couldn’t do on my own was the small picture frames placed in all sorts of positions.
That only Heena and Love could touch. Maybe if you put it away as you like, you don’t want to poke.
-♬♪♬~
I turned on the kitchen light, played a small song on my phone, and started preparing breakfast quite skillfully. Heena said that she could simply eat cereal if she was tired, but I liked this time now.
This is the time to prepare meals for my wife, daughter and son.
“Let’s see. Melt the butter over medium heat… the flour…”
Today’s breakfast menu is light cream soup and French toast. I thought it would be too bad to have only bread and milk in the morning, so I added soup. I did a search and found that it wasn’t that difficult to make.
In particular, if you sprinkle some sugar after the toast is finished, there is no snack like this. It’s also Sarang’s favorite menu. Actually, I made it last night at Sarang’s request. Originally, I was thinking of making rice balls.
It was my first time making soup, but there was no difficulty because the recipe was simpler than I thought.
“Here, mix the roux with milk and boil it over medium heat… After adding cheese and mixing it… you just need to boil it a little more.”
I learned to cook from my mother in the past, and I have been doing it consistently while living at Heena’s house, so I can be confident that my skills are as good as any other housewife. It’s because there aren’t many things I can do yet.
I made the soup like that, finished the much simpler French toast, and took a picture. As a brag for my mother-in-law and mother-in-law later.
Then, let’s wake up Heena and Sarang.

“Oh, you woke up. Did you sleep well?”
“Ugh… It smells good… What is it?”
“Soup and toast. Yesterday Sarang wanted to eat it.”
“That’s right, it was~”
“Would you like a taste first? I’ll let love wake you up.”
“Yes. Thank you~”
Heena sits at the kitchen table with a scruffy face. I left my wife’s cute appearance behind and headed to Sarang’s room.
As I opened the door, I saw Sarangi’s bed full of cat dolls. Today, I am sleeping with a stain.
I approached my sleeping daughter with an angelic look on her face, gently waving her body and whispering.
“My daughter, should I wake up?”
“Ugh… Daddy… Just a little more…”
“Dad made toast that Sarang loves. Won’t you eat it?”
“…don’t… Muggle… I’ll get up…”
When I went to the kitchen with Sarang, who was arguing for a cute sleep, Heena put the soup in a bowl and even set a spoon.
I sat Sarangi, who was still a nightmare, in her seat, and I sat down next to him and asked Heena.
“How? Did you taste it?”
“It’s delicious! Did you have a hard time making it?”
“No. It was simpler than I thought.”
“Dad… the sugar…?”
“Here. Don’t spray too much.”
“Thank you…”
Sarangi, who sprinkled sugar on toast and ate a spoonful of soup, opened her mouth with a smile.
“It’s delicious…”
“Eat a lot of love~”
“Baby, shouldn’t hope leave its share?”
“No, it’s okay. Somyeong wants to make rice balls when she wakes up later. With leftovers from yesterday’s rice.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
No matter how active Somang is, she is still a boy, so she usually eats rice because bread will quickly make her stomach hungry. It’s because the rice I made yesterday had just enough leftovers for my wish to eat.
Hey, do I look like a complete housewife?
After a while, Hee-na goes to work, Sa-rang goes to school, and So-myeon goes to the daycare center, and after that, it’s her working hours.
Still, I could definitely feel the feelings of other housewives.
Watching my family enjoy the meal I made gave me a lot of strength. I’m happy and I’m happy
“I’ll wash the dishes. You need a little rest.”
“Will you help me too!”
“Then do you want to go with your mother?”
“yes!”
Besides, it’s not because I’m struggling alone, but because I’m working hard to help out what I can help.
You can enjoy the newly started work from home and housewife life.
