Winter was approaching, and Christmas was just around the corner.

Each day was exhausting yet filled with joy as I watched Sarang grow.

By the time Sarang was ten months old, she had gone beyond just turning over and was now freely crawling around the floor.

Since Sarang began crawling around the house, Heena's home saw even more frequent visits from our family. Before, my mom, dad, and Yoonjung noona would often drop by, but now, they were coming almost daily.

Of course, there was only one reason they came.

"Hey! Over here! To Grandpa! I even brought a cat doll for you~"

"Princess~ You know who plays with you every day, right~?"

"Han Sarang! Think about who gave you the cat doll you're holding! 90% of your toys are from me!!!"

"Big Auntie! Big Auntie is here, Sarang!!

"Bba-bboo?"

Everyone had their arms wide open, just waiting for Sarang to crawl to them. No, they were pleading.

Simply holding Sarang wasn't difficult. But having Sarang come to them on her own gave them an inexplicable thrill.

With everyone gathered around, Sarang sat in a daze, looking around, unable to decide.

"Sarang, who are you going to go to?"

From behind Sarang, Heena held her back to prevent her from falling, asking her gently. Although Sarang could sit on her own now, Heena still felt uneasy watching her.

Moreover, since Sarang was now trying to stand up by holding onto things, someone always had to follow her around the house.

After glancing around, Sarang fixed her gaze on Heeseong hyung. Noticing this, Heeseong hyung raised his voice even more.

"Han Sarang!! Over here!! Your favorite Kitty is here!!"

"Oh! Lee Heeseong, that's so unfair!! When did you bring that?!"

"Why don't you buy one too, noona!"

"Here, look!! The one I bought before!"

"Do you think she'd like that black Mickey Mouse over there?"

"Are you mocking Mickey right now?!"

"Not me, Sarang is ignoring it."

"Ugh..."

Yoonjung noona, who had gifted Sarang a Mickey Mouse in an attempt to be different, stood there defeated. Sarang had never shown interest in that doll. Not even once.

Holding the Mickey Mouse, noona sank down in her spot. Next to her, Heeseong hyung, holding the Kitty that Sarang often played with, stepped forward.

"Mama!"

Seeing the Kitty, Sarang immediately called out, asking to be held. She had become more accustomed to saying "mama" as Heena was around more than I was. Though she did say "papa" soon after.

"You like that?"

"Auuu!"

As Sarang showed interest in the Kitty, Heena let go of her, allowing her to crawl towards it.

With a triumphant look, Heeseong hyung awaited Sarang. Although everyone else also had dolls in their hands, Sarang's recent favorite was Kitty, so the outcome was predictable.

I watched the competition unfold while leaning against the sofa. Suddenly, I felt someone grab my arm.

-Grab

"Huh?"

"Yeonho, help your dad out."

"Help with what?"

Dad pulled me next to him and began clapping his hands.

-Clap! Clap!

"Sarang~ Come to Daddy! Daddy is waiting for you!"

"Auu?"

Hearing the word "daddy," Sarang paused. She could now understand words like "mommy" and "daddy" and reacted to them.

Wasn't using me too much of a cheat? Our Sarang loves me so much.

"Uncle, that's cheating!"

"Yeonho's dad, that's too much~"

"Hey, hyung. Let's not do that!"

This blatant foul play immediately drew complaints from everyone in Heena's family. Honestly, even I thought it was a bit unfair, but blood is thicker than water.

"Han Sarang! Come to Daddy~"

"Abu-boo!"

Sarang, who had been torn between Kitty and Grandpa, started crawling towards me once she heard my voice.

My dad quickly scooped up the eagerly crawling Sarang and hugged her tightly.

"Oh my~ Sarang, did you come to see Grandpa?"

"Papa!"

"Haha! Looks like Sarang wanted to come to you."

"You called her over using me, what else would she do?"

Although she was in Grandpa's arms, Sarang was squirming to turn towards me. Eventually, I ended up holding her.

As soon as she reached me, Sarang started patting my neck and face with her tiny hands.

Oh, how cute.

"Hey! We can't lose! Heena, come here and call Sarang!"

"Yes, Heena! Show your strength... huh?"

Earlier, they were fighting over dolls, but now Heeseong hyung and Yoonjung noona were united in calling for Heena.

But Heena was already behind me, hugging me from the back. With her face buried in my back, she let out a silly laugh.

"Huhuhut."

"She's done for. She's completely out of it..."

"Our last hope..."

Both hyung and noona despaired, and my mother-in-law shook her head.

"Both my daughter and our princess are completely taken with my son-in-law~"

"It's not the first time Heena's been like this with Yeonho."

My father-in-law added his two cents. But really, Heena acting like this towards me happened daily, so I had nothing to say.

With Heena hugging me from behind and Sarang clinging to my face in front, could I be any happier?

Only the intense gaze from my whole family was a bit burdensome, so I handed Sarang over to my mom.

"Mom, can you take care of Sarang for a bit?"

"Sure, let me hold my granddaughter."

As if she had been waiting for this, my mom carefully took Sarang into her arms. My mom, usually so stoic, had a broad smile on her face in front of Sarang.

Come to think of it, my grandmother had once told me that she had wanted a daughter for her third child. But since she ended up with three sons, it made sense why she loved Heena so much and was so infatuated with Sarang.

The same went for my dad.

-Snap! Snap!

Beside my mom, my dad was snapping his fingers to get Sarang's attention.

"Ueeuueu..."

Unfortunately, Sarang, while nestled in Grandma's arms, only had eyes for me. But even that seemed to endear her to my dad, who chuckled and gently stroked her cheek with the back of his hand.

But then he said,

"Sarang is so cute. Yeonho, do you think you can go to the army later?"

He uttered the one word that should never be spoken in this house.

"Uh, Dad! That's forbidden..."

-Of course, Heena, who had been quietly hugging me, tightened her grip on my arm, as if she would never let me go.

"No... you can't go..."

"Heena... it's a long way off... I don't have to go for a while...!"

"Even later, you can't go!!"

"I won't... I won't go! Just let go of my neck!"

She was choking me to death, so I tapped out, surrendering. Only then did she release her grip.

"Don't go anywhere..."

"I'm not going anywhere without you."

Heena continued to whimper with her face buried in my back. I gently patted her arms wrapped around my neck, soothing her. Simultaneously, I shook my head at my dad, signaling him with my eyes to never bring up the army again.

Dad saw that and laughed silently, then turned his attention back to Sarang. Seeing this, I let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

Since I planned to join the military after graduating from college, it was still a distant story. Thanks to Sarang, there was a high possibility I would serve locally, so the only time I wouldn't be able to see her would be during the training period.

And Heena knew this too. In fact, she had researched it more diligently than I did and informed me. However, the thought of not being able to see me for those five weeks at the training center made her restless whenever the topic came up.

Once, Heeseong hyung had joked, "What will you do when Yeonho goes to the army~," and it nearly became his memorial day. It was so tense that even I took Sarang and fled outside.

Since then, military talk had become taboo in this house.

"Mom, are the hyungs not here yet?"

I continued to soothe Heena and asked my mom. Today was a day off for my brothers too, so I thought they would come with my parents, but they hadn't arrived yet, saying they had something to buy.

"They should be here soon."

"Are they buying dolls for Sarang too?"

"At this rate, we could start a doll business~"

"Right."

I couldn't help but agree with my mother-in-law's laughing remark. Of course, Heena and I also bought dolls, but our family and relatives kept bringing more, filling the house with cat dolls.

-Ding dong!

Speak of the devil, just as we were talking about the hyungs, the intercom rang.

"Oh, they must be here. I'll go get it..."

"...No, I'll go."

Seemingly a bit calmer, Heena stood up and headed to the front door. Soon after, we heard Heena's surprised voice.

"Oppa? Thanks, but... this is too much..."

"Don't you know the more, the better?"

"Sorry. By the time I realized, the payment was already done and I couldn't stop it."

Everyone turned to look at the conversation coming from the entrance.

What on earth did they bring that made Heena react like that?

And our curiosity was quickly resolved when we saw Sunhoo hyung enter, carrying a huge bundle like Santa Claus.

It wasn't a joke. The large bag, big enough to fit a person, was filled with organic rice snacks that children Sarang's age could eat.

Seeing this, Yoonjung noona muttered in disbelief.

"Sarang's going to die eating rice snacks, seriously."

Author's Note:

Why is everyone so eager to get Yeonho into a car accident... Please cherish our Yeonho!
