Peerless Dad - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Decision – Greed is good.

“Father, you’re home!”
“Father, welcome home.”
“Dad, welcome back.”
Gunghyeon, Donghyeon, Seohyeon shouted loudly at the same time, putting her hands together in their navel and bending their waist.
“That’s right, my babies.” As soon as I finished my words, I hugged them in one shot with my arms wide open at the same time.
“Gotcha!” I didn’t even have to say it, but the feeling of being hugged is the best.
“Did you hear what the nanny said today?”
“Yes.”
“Father, I’m going to the martial school the day after tomorrow, right?”
“Dad, me too I want go to a martial school, martial school！”
“Father, I want to go to a martial school too. I don’t like learning how to write.”
“I told you, I’ll be the one to talk. You should listen to Dad.”
“Why are you the only one going? I’m going to the martial school too.”
“Dad, Dad! Me too!”
Three mouths were moving at the same time, but I understood exactly what they said. In fact, even when they were little, I used to knew who cried and how they cried.
“Be quiet. All of you.” Everyone put their hands on their mouths at the same time at my words.
“First of all, it is right that Gunghyeon will go to a martial school. And Donghyeon and Seohyeon go to the academy.”
“Father!”
“Dad!”
They tried to protest at the same time, but I looked at them, and in one word, I overpowered them.
“Quiet!”
This is the rule of our house. When someone speaks, everyone listens, everyone can talk one at a time, I made sure to uphold this rule by beating it into them.
“I’m telling you to go to the literary academy no matter what. Even if Gunghyeon goes to the martial school he still needs to learn Cheonjamun, Donghyeon and Seohyeon too. Is it the Saseosamgyeong? If you learn those books, you can go the martial school.”
All three of them looked at me while pouting at the same time.
“Now I’ll give you a chance to speak in order. Gunghyeon.”
“Dad, I memorized as many as 100 characters, what am I going to do with it? I don’t need it. I want to focus on learning martial arts.”
“Next, Donghyeon.”
“You said that I need to learn Cheonjamun. I want to learn martial arts after reading the Cheonjamun.”
“Next, Seohyeon.”
“Why are only my brothers allowed to go to the martial school? I want to go to the martial school too. I’m going to be like the Ice Queen.”
As soon as Seohyun said it, I tried to get ahead by yelling ‘You can’t do it!’. But I heard an unfamiliar name.
“Huh? Ice Queen? Who is that?”
“Grandpa said that she was a famous master. When she lifts a finger, with a single thought she can blow away most male experts. I’m gonna be like that.”
‘No, that old man, how much bragging did he do to make her fall for it?’
In a way, he might be the reason the kids are frantic about going to a martial school. Children have no choice but to fall in love with a hero who seems to be in a novel or something. In particular, Seohyun seemed to follow him more than me, so I secretly had a sense of crisis.
‘That old man, I shouldn’t let you come for a while.’
I decided after thinking about it.
“I have heard your concerns. But not everyone!”
“Father！”
“Father!”
“Dad!”
The three of them started making a fuss again, but what I decided was something different. However, I couldn’t say what I had to say as they kept making a fuss.
Then, a person appeared to save me.
“Who wants to eat? I brought dumplings.”
It was a Mrs. Hwang who had been taking care of my children for eight years and probably knew my babies better than I did.
“Me! Me!”
The children raised their hands at the same time and followed nanny Hwang.
‘Kids, I’m sure it hasn’t been long since you ate.’
I think they are weak to food because they are my children. Well, you have to eat when there’s food. I somehow got a lot of time when they followed Mrs. Hwang.
‘How should I say it?’
Do this guys know what I have to do in order for them to go to Heavenly Dragon Academy or Heavenly Dragon School? Even now, I’m going crazy thinking whether they should go to the academy or martial school. No, that’s a good thing. I’ll tell them I won’t go.
While I was smiling happily, Mrs. Hwang came back into the room.
“Nanny, you’re having a lot of trouble, if I get a bonus this time, I’ll give you some pocket money.”
Mrs. Hwang said when she wanted to express her sincere gratitude.
“More than that, sir.”
“Yes, nanny.”
“That is, I want to ask for a favor. I don’t know how difficult my request might be, you know what I think of you and this might sound rude.
“Feel free to speak. Did Bong touch the dice again?”
In the past, she lamented said her husband, Bong, was having a hard time making a living because he was gambling. It was something that should never happen. If she is having a hard time at home, it will be hard for her to concentrate on taking care of my children, so she might neglect them.
So as soon as I heard that, I went to the gambling house, caught Bong and beat him close to death. Of course, there was a bit of a fuss in the process. The guy who was in charge of the gambling house thought that it was an a attack from an opposing faction and mobilized fifty people and I knocked all of them down, someone reported me to the Heavenly Dragon Castle as they recognized that I was a warrior there.
In any case, I made Bong a very good head of household, and Mrs. Hwang paid back by taking care of the children with more care. A good nanny and a good wife.
“I’ll straighten him up for you. I’ll make sure he will never think of gambling again. Leave it to me. I’ll get rid of his gambling habits. He will tremble whenever he hears the word gambling!”
“It’s not that sir……. I heard Gunghyeon is going into the Twin Dragon School.
“Yes, for now.”
“Can we get our son in there too? He’s in a martial school, but he’s been nagging me to get in there.
“That’s not hard. You can put the application form in Twin Dragon School. Shall I get you an application form?”
“Oh sir, Gunghyeon can enter because he has you. But my son does not have that kind of background. I heard that it’s extremely hard to get in even if a child does not have a father that is a First Class Warrior like you. Isn’t Twin Dragon School a place where you can enter as long as your parent is working for Heavenly Dragon Society? I know this kind of request is very difficult, but if sir Noh has connections above, maybe you can…Is that possible?”
“I’ll see…… Is it that hard for to enter the martial school?”
“For people like us, it’s like trying to pluck the stars in the sky. It is a place where only talented people, executives, and other people who can donate a lot of money, or children of very famous people can enter.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Otherwise, you will need to get recommendation from an executive of Heavenly Dragon Castle. I thought that since sir Noh can easily enroll Gunghyeon in, maybe if sir Noh can write a letter of recommendation, then maybe I might have saved enough money to enroll my son as well.”
“Ahh, I wouldn’t know how to write even if I wanted to. You mean it’s hard to get in there, right?”
“Even so. Please sir Noh.”
I thought while listening to nanny Hwang’s story.
‘If it’s too hard to go in like this, it’s a good place to go, but you don’t have to let him in, right? But you say it’s hard to get into my position? Then how did I get in so easily?’
It wasn’t that hard to get in the office. I only talked to the headmaster, and heard that admission permission has been granted.
‘I need to treat him to dinner. I did not know that it was hard.’
Thinking so made me wonder again. So I looked at nanny Hwang
“Ma’am, do you know what Heavenly Dragon School and Heavenly Dragon Academy is like?”
“Heavenly Dragon School? Heavenly Dragon Academy is like? Do you know anyone there sir Noh?”
“Rather than that…… I thought I could put the kids in there first.”
“Aigoo! It turns out that sir Noh has great connections. Well, I thought it was weird to hear that you were provided with a separate house and even a child support fund for your children even though you were only a First Class Warrior”
What is she talking about? Wasn’t it natural to receive separate housing and support child?
“Then you can use your connections to let my son get into the Twin Dragon School”
“Tell me about Heavenly Dragon Academy and School first.”
“It’s Unnam’s best Literary and Martial School. It’s miles above the academies and schools provided by the government.” Mrs. Hwang spoke excitedly.
“But they rarely accept outsiders. Sir Noh knows about Mr. Yeo right?”
“I know. I’m investing all my monthly paychecks in there.”
“His heir is attending the Heavenly Dragon School. I heard he used a hundred gold for his child to get in there.”
“H, how much? Hundred gold?”
“It’s a story of rich people, but it’s not very well known.. It’s a very good place. Is it really true that Gung Hyun can go in there?” I was a little flustered.
“No, well… I’m thinking about it.
“If our son could go in there, I will make a god using my hair. I’ll even be a maid for the rest of my life.”
I was really embarrassed. This aunt, I say something that seems to come out of old stories.
“Why are you so……
“In fact, if you can go in, that would not be enough. Your children’s life will be different..”
“Such a place… You mean?”
“If Gunghyeon really goes in there, I’ll have to look after him better now.”
I had no choice but to think more about it when I saw Mrs. Hwang making such a huge fuss and getting excited as if it was her job.
‘Mira.’
And I thought of my wife who hid her feelings and covered it up so that I wouldn’t think hard.
‘If she were alive. I would have lived a very different life than now. But it won’t be different, that she would have taken great care of our children.
It would even be better than Mrs. Hwang, who says she could cut her hair and make a god.
‘I was so selfish. It’s regrettable.’
Captain Ham and Grandpa Han was right. I made some excuses because I didn’t want to be separated from my children. Wouldn’t it be right for parents to act like Mrs. Hwang? And wouldn’t she have done that if Mira had been alive?
Once I said I’d look into it and sent Mr. Hwang back, I went outside.
‘It’s so sad! I miss you a lot. Are you watching me from heaven?’
I looked up at the sky. There were many stars in it, too. It was very awful
I could have forgiven everything else, but there’s only one thing I can’t forgive.
I don’t know if you’re unlucky or if I’m unlucky.’
I looked at the night sky for a long time. Then I decided to go to Henan.
“Ah damn!”

———-

“Hah!”
It’s always nice to see my children shouting and punching. The sound from the sleeves is also sounds pretty good. Actually, I didn’t mean to teach my children how to use their bodies. In fact, I didn’t teach until they were four years old. Even my training was done in a place without the children’s eyes. If they hadn’t returned home at the same time when they were four years old, with swollen faces, it would still be the same now. Gunghyeon had a bruise in his eyes, Donghyeon had a sign of a double nosebleed, and Seohyun would not have been taught it if it had not been for the day when she had a scratch on her cheek.

To explain what happened at that time, like any other neighborhood, there seems to be a guy who plays the role of the children’s alley leader. Did they say that he was nine years old? Anyway, when they saw him bothering Seohyun, it seemed that Gunghyeon attacked him. Naturally, Gunghyeon was beaten in the eye and got destroyed, and Donghyeon ran into it and a got double nosebleed.
When Seohyun saw it, even she rushed in, and the kid didn’t hit her because Seohyeon was a girl, and he seemed to have just pushed her. However, the problem is that Seohyeon’s legs twisted and fell, causing a scratch on her face. Ah! To be honest, he almost got killed that day. If the alley leader was over ten years old, or if I didn’t hear that Gunghyeon misunderstood that he was trying to talk to Seohyeon because he liked her. My precious little ones has been hurt, but what can I do? If it escalated, it would be have been an issue among adults , and the moment it became that, I might really have killed. In the end, the choice was to teach the children martial arts. My martial arts are not the ones that will work in the world, but they will work in the world of children. In fact, in just three days, Gunghyeon gave a double nosebleeds to the alley leader. Since then, the children have not neglected to receive training from me. Ah! I should have properly taught them at that time. Our dad is the best! The coolest in the world. My dad is the best person in the world.
It’s natural to think that I’m an all-round dad that can’t hear anything aside from the praises from my beautiful children. So I taught too hard, and they ended up like this.
Well, I don’t know where to hit them, so I decided not to be too easy.
“Noh Gunghyeon, you made me do this! I told you not to be half-hearted when training! On your feet! Strength on your legs strength!”
“Where did dad say strong fists come from!?”
“Strong legs, flexible waist. ”
“That’s it! But you’re not going to strain your legs, are you?! Very well!”
“If you’re going to be so half-hearted, I’ll send you to the academy instead of a martial school.”
Perhaps my threat worked, Gunghyeon who didn’t have strength and legs shaking did not give up.
‘Since Heavenly Dragon School is such a great place, he will be a Murim-in. How many years will it take for him to beat me? They say that the children from prestigious families develop into experts when they turn sixteen and warriors can’t do anything to them.’
I shook my head hard. At least I had to be stronger until they became adults. I had to be stronger at least until then because I said that children would grow up well only when they were a good father.
‘This one, this one ……I’ve been neglecting my training lately. After I finish my work in Henan this time, I’ll be doing a special training.’
There’s nothing really special about special training, but it’s not going to be easy.
“Stop.”
As soon as I said it, they sat down and I looked satisfactorily. If you’ve trained properly, it’s natural to sit like that.
“Today as well?”
“Be strong!”
“Today as well?”
“Work hard!”
“Today as well?”
“Be happy!”
I nodded with a satisfied smile as I saw the children gasping for breath and answering vigorously.
“Good. End of training. Let’s eat.”
“Woaahh!”
They ran home, and of course I ran too. Heavenly Dragon Castle’s meals are excellent, but it was worse than the food that Mrs. Hwang prepared.
When I went inside, the food was already prepared, and the children were waiting for me with spoons in both hands.
“Eat.”
Did they say that family conversations come and go when you eat? But we didn’t have that.
Chopsticks began to move without anyone saying anything, and if anyone else saw it, there was nothing to say as if there was a war on the meal.
Eating was an important act, and children seemed to know well even if I didn’t explain it.
I was the first to finish the meal, followed by Donghyeon and Gunghyeon. We waited for Seohyun because we were together when we woke up and ate.
“I’m full.’
Seohyun opened her mouth when I saw her putting down the spoon.
“I have something to tell you.”
The children’s attention were on me.
“Dad is going to be away for a while or a little longer. I have to go so that our family can eat well and live well, is it alright for dad to be away for a while?”
“Where are you going?”
Gunghyeon asked and I answered.
“The place where dad works told me that I need to go far away.. It’s a different area. So I won’t be able to come back home for about half a year. Gonghyun.”
“Yes, father.”
“You’re my eldest son. Can you take good care of your younger siblings while father is away?” Gunghyeon looked puzzled and whispered to Donghyeon sitting next to him.
“Half a year. How many nights is it?”
Donghyeon began to wriggle his fingers, and Seohyun answered with an disapproving look.
“It’s a hundred and eighty nights. Can’t you do that easy arithmetic?”
“I know it too. I was just asking.”
“Hmp! Excuses.”
Seohyun snorted and asked me while looking at me.
“Dad, that’s too many nights. Can you live without seeing me that long?”
“I can’t.”
“Then tell them you can’t go.”
“I’m going because you can eat better and live better after I come back. My daughter, can you stand it?”
“I can’t stand it. What am I supposed to do with my two foolish brothers without my dad?”
Ah! He should have been born the eldest daughter. She was smart because she resemble her mother and she uses her body like me.
“Dad doesn’t want to go either, but people from work keeps telling me to go.”
“You can quit. We won’t need to eat eat spider webs just because dad quit, right?”
Where did she learn to say that?
“We don’t have to hit webs, but you won’t be able to eat meat side dishes every meal.. That’s not good, right?”
“That’s true. They will pay you a lot when you get back?”
“The monthly salary will go up. Maybe”
“Dad’s too naïve. That’s something you definitely need to be promised. The appointment on the document is the most certain.”
“Then shall I get that and come back?”
Seohyun thought about it for a while and answered.
“A hundred nights is too much. I’m fine, but my brothers will cry in a few days.”
“Noh Seohyun! How do you see your brothers!”
Gunghyeon was mad but Seohyeon did not even care.
“Can’t you just go and come back a little faster?”
“Can we talk about that?”
“You should go and come back half way. Dad is having a hard time. Don’t worry. If I grow up a little more, I’ll make dad feel better. Dad, would it be better to have son-in-law?”
“You can just live with your dad instead of getting married.”
I thought you’d definitely say you’d live with me. However, as if to betray such expectations, Seohyeon’s expression changed seriously. And said.
“That’s a bit unreasonable. I am a woman too. I’ll just marry a man who listens well. Dad, if you’re bored, you can hang out with him.”
I asked because I felt betrayed and unexpectedly became happy.
“Where will he get time to hang out with me? He has to feed you, he has to earn diligently.”
“Hey, there’s no such thing in this day and age. And my abilities will be much better, so I can feed him. I’ll feed dad too, so always take care of yourself at work.”
This is a good thing for an eight-year-old girl to say. While I was thinking for a while, Seohyun kept saying it.
“If you do me a favor, I’ll let you go.”
“What?”
“I’m going to go into the martial school.”
“Dad has already made his decision. Is it okay for Seohyeon to hate dad?”
“But dad didn’t even listen to me yesterday.”
Seohyeon said as she looked at me firmly and sternly.
“The decision is final and that’s it.”
“But. You have to hear me out. Didn’t dad tell me that I can go to the martial school if I finish Saseosamgyeong?”
“I did indeed.”
Seohyun stood up and came next to me. Then she put her hands on her waist and said,
“Great Learning, Doctrine of the Mean, Analects, Mencius, and the three classics, Classic of Poetry, Classic of History and Classic of Changes, I finished them all.”
‘Does this mean? If it’s Analects, Confucius and Mencius…… Oh, that includes Mencius. But what is Great Learning and what is the Doctrine of the Mean?’
I just knew a little vaguely that people learned the Saseosamgyeong, but is that not a single book, but a collective term for Four Books and the Three Classics??
“So you learned all that?”
Seohyun said confidently to my question.
“Of course. However, since those books are things that you have to look at for a lifetime, the expression “completed” is not appropriate. So I just memorized it……”
Seohyun blurred the end of her words.
“Why did you stop talking?”
“That’s……. That’s……
When Seohyun suddenly looked at me and looked teary, I was surprised and held her in my arms and comforted her.
“My daughter, why are you crying suddenly? Don’t you want dad to go?”
“That’s not it……
Seohyun watched until the end and whispered in my ear.
“I want to show my dad that I memorize them all, but he doesn’t know even if I memorize them. You don’t even know the letters. So…… so……
In an instant, one of my chest became hot and the other became cold..
The reason why it became hot was that Seohyun was moved by his caring mind that my self-esteem would be hurt, and the reason I became cold was because I felt anxious that I would not be able to handle Seohyun.
I couldn’t say anything in a moment of embarrassment, but I quickly recovered.
Whether my daughter is a genius or an idiot, it is undeniable that I am her father. What’s important besides that?
I accept my daughter’s consideration gratefully, and fill in what is missing.. I’ve lived a simple life, and I’ve never felt sorry about it.
“Do you want dad to learn how to read and write?”
At my whisper, Seohyun nodded and hugged my neck tightly.
“I hope so. Dad needs to learn even if the other warriors doesn’t know how to. I don’t want to hear that you’re ignorant. You don’t have to learn everything, even if you only learn Cheonjamun.
“Okay, I promise. When I get back, I should already learned it.”
“Really?”
“When did dad lie to Seohyeon and your brothers?”
“Never.”
“So believe me. When I come back, I will have learned all of Cheonjamun.”
Seohyun smiled brightly and whispered back into my ear.
“Gunghyeon oppa cannot even memorize hundred characters. If you take out the numbers, it’s barely over fifty.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Oppa gave me the Bingdang Horo and told me not to tell on him, but I’m on dad’s side.”
“Yes, you are on my side. Then what about Donghyeon?”
“Donghyeon oppa is better. about two hundred characters? But Donghyeon oppa is also bad at it. It doesn’t help much for writing.”
I believe Seohyeon’s words. Seohyun, who was memorizing the Samgyeong, could not be wrong.
I looked away and said to Gunghyeon and Donghyeon who were watching our secret story.
“Donghyeon.”
“Yes, father.”
“I’ll send you to the martial school.”
“Father! Really?”
“However, if you can’t memorize all of Cheonjamun until Dad comes back, you have to enter the the literary academy. This is the same for Gunghyeon.”
“Me too?”
When Gunghyeon asked as if I was being unfair, I answered with the most stern expression I could muster.
“I’ll make it clear. Both of you will be sent to the literary school if you can’t memorize the thousand characters until your father returns..”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
The two seemed to have something they wanted to say, but it seemed to work that I had a stern expression.
“In return, I will teach you Saechum when you finish learning Cheonjamun.”
“Really?”
Their sullen expression immediately improved.
Nanpoongdasal is the name of the move I am currently learning and not Saechum.
I can’t tell them such a nasty name, can I? But they wanted to learn it very much, so I told them the name of the move is Saechum.
It is the last move in the first half of the martial manual, and as the name suggests, it requires a lot of use of hands and feet, but it also looks so gorgeous and has great power.
How do you teach your kids that kind of move?
Heavenly Dragon School is a place where people who are considered one of the best among the Murim-in teach, and now the children that learned my martial arts will go there.
Still, the comforting thing is, my martial arts basic training is very solid
and I taught my children faithfully, I wouldn’t have to hear that their basics were not good.
“Right. A man’s words are worth a fortune. Dad doesn’t lie. And Gunghyeon.”
“Yes, father!”
Seeing Gunghyeon with an excited expression, I checked again.
“Who’s the eldest son of our old family??”
“It’s me, father.”
“Then if father is gone, who will take care of your siblings?”
“Of course it’s me.”
I rubbed the top of Gunghyeon’s head and warned Donghyeon and Seohyeon..
“When I am around it’s okay to beat him up, but when I am not around your brother is the head of the family. You know you need to listen to him, right?”
“Yes，
“Don’t worry, dad.”
“Good. I’ll have a few days before I go. Until, let’s eat out everyday.”
“Let’s eat meat!”
“Fish is delicious these days!”
When the kids said they were okay it, I felt better.
‘Right, I’ll close my eyes and bear with it. It’s for my kids.’
I made up my mind like that and hurried to prepare for work.

— Part 2 —

“Have you decided?”
When I heard Captain Ham ask without looking forward to my answer, I replied.
“I will go.”
“Really?”
“You said it was an order and you’re going to kick me out.”
“What’s the point of saying more? If you say you will go, just go.”
“Anyway, when will we depart?”
“You will leave tomorrow.”
“What’s the rush? You didn’t even give me a few days to prepare.”
“You’re not the only one going. Under the leadership of the third Heavenly Dragon Battalion Captain, there will be ten first class warriors and twenty second class warriors.”
Third Heavenly Dragon Battalion, I frowned when I heard that their captain was going as well.
“Why do they need me when such great men are already going? Don’t they just need workers?”
“There’s no such thing as a waste of manpower. Don’t you know that one-third of the Heavenly Dragon Battalion captains are taken from the First Class Warriors?”
“I know that, but……isn’t it strange that they need some of our guards??”
“You talk a lot, just follow the orders.”
“I understand. I have to follow.. Of course.”
Ham frowned at my unfriendly way of speaking and said.
“I don’t know why, but I’m guessing that they’re trying to increase their manpower. The third Heavenly Dragon Battalion is trying to fillup their shortcomings by using warriors. Isn’t it better than going alone? Since a Heavenly Dragon Captain is going, you will be free from responsibility.”
“That’s true. By the way captain.”
“Do you have something to ask? Do it there. You’re much more talkative than you look.”
He answered in a voice that seemed very annoyed.
Well, I’d be annoyed as well. But I still have to ask him something.
“No, I just wanted to check something. You’re sending my kids to the academy, right?”
“A few days after you leave, a man will visit your house from the inner castle. I heard you don’t have a wife, so tell the children in advance.”
“Are you sure? I don’t need to get a certificate of appointment, do I?”
“Certificate of appointment? What’s that? Do you really want to make sure that there’s a record? Are you kidding me?”
Captain Ham looked at me as if he was tired, and immediately shook his head and said.
“No, I’ll make it for you. We’re sending a valuable warrior to another country, so can’t I at least do that? I have to do it! Of course I have to.”
I might have pushed too far. My smart daughter said that the promise should have a document, but I was a little worried. But seeing Captain Ham’s face turning red, I felt like I shouldn’t go too far.
“No sir. I think it’s enough. I will tell the nanny.”
“Thank you. Do you have more to say?”
“None sir. What time do we leave tomorrow?”
“They said that it’s hour of the rabbit so you better come early. Work only in the morning and go home to get ready..”
“Yes，I understand.”
“Go now, I don’t have anything more to tell.”
I came outside with a smile on my face.
‘If I say I’m going tomorrow, there’s going to be an uproar. What food should I treat them to?’
If I have to go anyway, it’s better to go and come back quickly. I took a light step toward the workplace.

♦Peerless Dad’s Parenting Journal

“Go to bed early. Just go to sleep. Hurry up and sleep.”
I held them, bent and straightened my knees and hummed while dancing.
I tried to have only one nanny live with us, but it was hard. I have to work in the morning, but the kids do not want to sleep yet.
“Hey hey，Get some sleep. Dad needs to go to work tomorrow.”
When I got home it felt like all the fatigue I got from work disappeared…… But now, I am getting tired again.
‘I should tell the nannies to take a nap.’
I did my best to put my children to sleep, thinking that they need sleep at night because they do not get a lot of naps.
“Sleep, sleep. Go to sleeeep.”
My lullaby worked. The children started to get drowsy.
“Rock a bye baby on the tree top . My sons and daughter sleeps well. Rock a bye baby on the tree top . My……
Their eyes are finally closed. I’m full of hope that I’ll be able to sleep soon.
I waited for them to fall asleep while holding them in a big hug
Are they really sleeping?
I need to take three steps to get to the bed. I walked slowly and carefully put them down.
And gently, really gently put them down.
But…….
These fellows
They started to pout their lips at the same time.
“Oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no.
“Uooohhh！”
They burst into tears at the same time.
Since they were triplets, they cry, sleep, eat and even poop together. Thanks to you, I’m going crazy.
I quickly picked them up again.
“Good night, my sons and daughter.…with the front yard……
I’m going to sleep soon.
I put them down again and
“Uwaang!”
And I hugged them again and raised them up.
I can’t put them down.
It’s like they have a device that telling them “That was hugging us, but he laid us down.” I’ve definitely confirmed that they’re sleeping, how can they notice me like that?
They’re sleeping again.
But I can’t lay them down like before. Their device will notice it again.
“Let’s get some sleep.”
