Of course, she'd always asked my opinion when clothes shopping together, but today she was more blatant. It felt like buying lingerie before our first time all over again.

She seemed intent on gauging my reactions and gaze.

"It's pretty, but... isn't it a bit too sexy...?"

What flustered me even more was that this was by far the sexiest thing Heena had ever chosen. It was a black bikini with multiple strings, the fabric coverage precariously minimal.

Heena's figure is stunning, so she'd look amazing in it, but I worried about the attention she'd draw from other men.

It didn't seem ideal from Sarang's educational perspective either. Thankfully, Sarang seemed distracted looking around at the moment.

Noticing my concern, Heena smiled and added:

"I'll wear that robe cardigan we had at the beach last year too. This is just for your eyes only."

"Well in that case..."

If only I could see it, there was no reason to refuse. Come to think of it, that robe cardigan was black too, so it would cover most of the swimsuit and skin when worn over it.

We looked at a few more swimsuits after that, but ultimately decided on the first one she'd picked up. It was the prettiest to me too, not just the sexiest... Heena probably chose it knowing where my eyes had lingered.

But that wasn't all we bought. We hadn't come just for Heena's swimwear - we were also shopping for mine and Sarang's. While browsing, we stumbled upon a family set of matching swimsuits.

Heena was instantly drawn to it.

"Honey, isn't this adorable?"

"It really is. Should we try it on Sarang?"

It was a combination of white and black, with diagonal stripes. The men's one was nothing special, but the women's and children's versions were short dress-types that looked incredibly cute.

Anyone seeing us wearing it would instantly recognize us as a family. Heena, who adores matching couple items, was predictably captivated.

Until last year, Sarang was too young and small to find sets including children's sizes, but now she's grown quite a bit.

After briefly feeling the material, Heena immediately took Sarang to the fitting room.

-Swoosh!

A moment later, Sarang emerged wearing the swimsuit, looking adorable as expected. The thin fabric covering her shoulders like a pareo kept her well-covered, and with everything but her arms and legs covered, she wouldn't have to worry about getting cold.

"Doesn't it suit her?"

"Wow, it's perfect for Sarang!"

"Daddy! Sarang go to beach?"

"Not the beach, we're going to a swimming pool."

"Swimming pool?"

Sarang tilted her head at my words. The gesture was so cute it felt like cuteness overload. Well, it made sense. We'd never taken her to a public pool since they're always so crowded. We'd been to the beach last year and the year before though.

Anyway, seeing how well it suited Sarang, Heena tried it on too and seemed quite pleased. I didn't need to try mine on - if it looked good on them, that was enough for me. As long as the waist fit, I didn't really care.

We ended up buying the swimsuit set without much deliberation. I wondered if Heena would show me the bikini in the hotel room but wear this swimsuit to the pool. She likes showing off that we're a married couple and family to others.

Thanks to finding what we liked quickly, shopping ended earlier than expected. Since we were going on a hotel vacation, there wasn't much else to buy besides swimwear.

"Sarang, want to stop by the cat cafe before we go?"

"Meow! Wanna see kitties!"

"I wonder if it's still open?"

"I asked last time and they said they're open until 10. Oh, but you're in a suit..."

"It's fine, I was planning to get this dry cleaned anyway. And fur won't stick much unless I hug them."

So we took Sarang to the cat cafe we hadn't visited in a while. My goal for this trip was to spend more time with Sarang, so I wanted to start right away.

"Hi kitty! Happy! Daddy, there's Happy!"

"Say hi to Happy."

"Hi Happy! Sarang's back!"

At the cat cafe we visit occasionally, Sarang even remembered the names of a few cats.

Watching Sarang happily pet the nearby cats, I mentally reviewed our travel plans once more.

I felt a surge of excitement. This was our first trip just the three of us venturing beyond our local area.

Plus, with Heena and Sarang along, it was bound to be fun.

I couldn't wait for our travel day to arrive.

A few days later, on the day of our trip.

Like a child anticipating a field trip, I woke up early, buzzing with excitement. Heena must have felt the same, as she woke up shortly after I did.

As soon as she opened her eyes and saw me, she gave me a beautiful eye-smile.

"Honey, should we just get ready now? We can take our time getting there."

"You want to? We can stop somewhere on the way if we leave early."

"Okay!"

Hotel check-in wasn't until 3 PM so we could have left later, but it seemed a waste to idle at home when we were going on a trip just the three of us.

We got right up and showered. We'd packed everything yesterday, though there wasn't much to pack really. Honestly, we could have managed with just our wallets.

The bags only contained swimsuits and a change of clothes. That's the biggest advantage of a hotel vacation, I suppose. Since we were going to relax comfortably at the hotel, we didn't need much luggage.

Still, we double-checked everything after showering, then went to wake Sarang.

"Sarang~ Time to wake up."

"Mmm...Daddy... Sarang sleep more..."

"Can our Sarang be a good girl and sleep in the car? We're going on a trip with Mommy and Daddy."

"Sarang... wanna go too..."

"That's right~ Let's go together~"

She was still half-asleep and groggy. But since we had a long car ride ahead anyway, we could let her sleep in the car. We quickly washed her up and got her dressed.

The rest of the family watched us bustling about with wistful looks.

"I could drive well..."

"I could take good care of Sarang~"

"Have a safe trip. Drive carefully."

Hyung Heeseong and Mother-in-law couldn't hide their reluctance, but Father-in-law gave us words of concern despite his disappointed expression.

But we were too excited to pay much attention to their reactions.

"Yes, we'll be careful! We're off then!"

"We'll be back!"

With bright smiles, we said our goodbyes and left immediately. Every minute felt precious. We went straight down to the parking lot where Heena took the wheel and I got Sarang settled in the back seat.

We'd even installed a junior car seat. Last year, Heena had strongly insisted on it for Sarang's safety, and the whole family agreed, ordering it right away.

It wasn't just in this car either - there was one in my dad's car too. They'd installed the same model so Sarang could ride safely anytime.

I adjusted the seat angle so Sarang could sleep comfortably, fastened her seatbelt, then got in the passenger seat.

"How's Sarang? Sleeping well?"

"Sound asleep. Every time I see it, I think that seat was a great buy. The head support looks really comfortable."

"Right? And it's so safe too~"

"It looks that way. We didn't forget anything, did we?"

"Who cares if we did! We can buy it when we get there! Alright, let's go~"

"Okay! Let's hit the road!"

-Vroom!

With those words, Heena started the engine and the car began to move, finally kicking off our trip.

We passed through our familiar neighborhood, navigated the slightly congested city streets filled with morning commuters, and quickly entered the highway.

Normally, even getting this far should have been a challenge, but today the traffic flowed surprisingly well.

As if blessing our trip. Of course, there'd inevitably be some congestion from here on out.

Ignoring the expansive, refreshing scenery that came into view as we left Seoul, I gazed at Heena's joyful face as she gripped the steering wheel.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You look cool driving so well."

"Oh stop~"

Heena smiled shyly at my compliment. Maybe it was because a beautiful woman was at the wheel. True to her nature of excelling at most things, she drove with ease despite not doing it often, and it looked incredibly cool.

Her shy reaction was cute too, making me want to say more, but I changed the subject to avoid distracting her while driving.

"Is Gapyeong the closest rest stop? It'll take about 30 more minutes from now, right?"

"Probably, since traffic isn't as bad as we thought."

"Sarang should wake up by the time we get there?"

"We'll wake her if she doesn't. You and Sarang both love rest stop food~"

"Well, honestly, you have to eat that stuff..."

It'd be a crime to visit a rest stop and not eat that food. Especially the udon - it's seriously delicious.

Plus, we left earlier than planned and skipped breakfast, so we needed to eat at the rest stop. As I was salivating over the various foods that came to mind, the highway congestion began as expected.

A quick glance at the navigation showed it was orange. But the green stretching out behind it suggested it would clear up soon.

In that brief moment the car stopped, Heena immediately turned her head and spoke.

"Honey, I'm tired from driving~"

"Want a massage?"

"No, not that."

-Tap tap

She rejected the massage and tapped her lips with her finger. Seeing that beloved gesture I hadn't seen in a while, I chuckled softly and leaned in.

-Smooch!

After a quick kiss, I pulled back, but Heena pouted, unsatisfied.

"One isn't enough to recharge me!"

"Oh? We should always fully charge then."

"That's right~"

-Smooch!

Two kisses for a full charge. Talk about fuel efficiency!
