The park is so much fun!

The park is so much fun!

 

In reality, the swing Chae-a was pushing didn’t go very far.

At most, it was just swaying slightly?

However, not only did she give up the swing that she had wanted to ride so badly that she called it her lifelong wish.

She even went as far as pushing it for me, so I had no choice but to enjoy the swing without complaint.

‘To be honest, I feel so sorry that I want to get off right away.’

Every time I tried to get off, Chae-a would say ‘No!’ and shake her head vigorously, so I couldn’t get off the swing.

So I had no choice but to keep riding the swing.

Along with her panting breaths, I could hear Chae-a’s proud voice.

“Ha-eun, are you having fun?”

Hearing her voice full of expectation, I nodded quickly and said.

“Yes. It’s really fun.”

“Really?! I’m so glad!”

Then Chae-a started pushing the swing again with effort, giggling happily.

I was thinking that as long as Chae-a was happy, that was enough, when Seo-rin picked up Chae-a and said.

“Then let’s have Chae-a ride the swing this time!”

At Seo-rin’s words, Chae-a nodded with a truly bright expression, and showed her excitement by stomping her feet.

As I watched Chae-a like this, I thought, ‘Thank goodness.’

“This time, Yuna will push for you.”

Yuna starts grunting as she pushes my swing seat with her hands.

Watching Yuna, I quickly shake my head and open my mouth.

“It’s okay! Yuna, you ride!”

At those words, Yuna shakes her head and brings up what we talked about earlier.

“Because Ha-eun is family… Big sister will push for you.”

Then she starts pushing the swing hard and perking up her ears.

‘… I’m embarrassed.’

As an adult, it’s hard to bear just sitting on a swing being pushed by little ones, and I’m stomping my feet.

Han A-rin, who has been watching this, smiles awkwardly and tells us.

“Um… I can push with magic. Is it okay if I push with magic?”

At those words, we all stare at Han A-rin simultaneously as if we had rehearsed it.

“Chae-a is the happiest in the world…! Probably even happier than ants!”

Chae-a seems to really enjoy riding the swing, continuously giggling and her eyes sparkling.

As I watch Chae-a being so happy, I also start feeling good and giggle along.

Seeing this, Han A-rin asks me a question.

“Ha-eun, don’t you want to ride the swing anymore? You can keep riding as much as you want.”

Hearing that, I look up at the swing blankly.

It’s not that I particularly dislike riding the swing, but maybe because I’ve become smaller, I get a little scared when sitting somewhere my feet can’t reach.

As I’m politely declining and saying it’s okay, I hear a popping sound from far away.

I blinked my eyes and looked over there, wondering what it was.

I noticed children about my height walking around wearing squeaky shoes.

Squeak squeak squeak

As I found that sight somewhat cute, I hugged my tail and stared at them.

Han A-rin next to me spoke to me with a playful smile.

“Ha-eun, do you want squeaky shoes too?”

Startled by those words, I quickly shook my head.

First of all, it was embarrassing, and if I asked that fluffy one, I could probably make pajamas that make squeaky sounds.

So I refused.

“No, I don’t.”

Han A-rin seemed to have no intention of listening to me.

She gently poked my cheek with her finger and said.

“Really?”

I nodded my head vigorously to mean ‘really’, but.

Han A-rin looked at me and chuckled, then waved her hand and said.

“Okay, I’ll buy them for you. Your big sister will go buy squeaky shoes, so just wait for a bit. Got it?”

“…?”

Huh? I’m pretty sure I said I didn’t want them, so why is she going to buy shoes?

As I tilted my head in confusion, wondering if I had said something strange.

Yuna gently grabbed my hand and her eyes started to sparkle.

“Squeaky…”

Ha-eun seems to have wanted the squeaky shoes.

Seeing Yuna’s reaction, I decided to give them to her if Han A-rin bought the shoes, so I was waiting.

Han A-rin came with three small boxes and told us.

“Ta-da. I bought them.”

Then she took them out and told us.

“I bought them to match the animals on your pajamas. Ha-eun gets a shark, Chae-a gets a squirrel, and Yuna gets a dinosaur.”

Yuna still had an indifferent expression, but she was actually very happy, wagging her tail quickly and focusing all her attention on the squeaky shoes.

Seeing Yuna like that, I smiled a little and then pointed to a nearby stepping stone, saying to her.

“Then shall we put on the shoes? Sit here.”

Thinking it would be good to take the initiative like an adult and put the shoes on for her, I patted the stone with my palm.

Yuna quickly ran over, sat down, and stared at me intently.

“What’s this? Is Ha-eun taking care of her little sister? Isn’t our Ha-eun an angel?”

Han A-rin, who was watching this, jokingly laughed and said she wanted to check for wings, causing a mishap where she kept rubbing my shoulders.

Anyway, the important thing was putting the squeaky shoes on Yuna.

I picked up the shoes and tried to put them on Yuna, but.

‘… This is a bit difficult.’

Maybe because I’m weak and have short fingers, it was a bit hard to put the shoes on.

Still, I couldn’t give up just because it was difficult, so I was doing my best to put them on when.

Yuna wiggled her toes and said to me.

“It tickles.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. I can endure it because Ha-eun is putting them on for me. Ha-eun and Yuna are family after all…!”

Yuna seemed quite taken by the mention of family.

I nodded in agreement while looking at Yuna, then succeeded in putting on her shoes with some effort.

Now, as I was about to grab the shoe to put on the other foot.

I noticed Yuna was changing into her shoes quite skillfully on her own.

‘She could put them on by herself…?’

No, come to think of it, isn’t this normal?

Usually, we all put on our own shoes.

It was natural that she could put on her shoes without my help.

As I was feeling a bit embarrassed for doing something silly.

Yuna’s expression looked so happy that I felt it wasn’t entirely meaningless.

“Then this time, Yuna will put them on for you.”

Yuna patted the rock she had been sitting on and started to mimic exactly what I had done earlier.

It was awkward to refuse at this point, so I sat on the rock and stretched out my foot.

Yuna put the velcro shoes on me even more skillfully than I had done, while saying.

“I did well.”

I’m not sure what she did well, but I wagged my tail and nodded.

Yuna, though expressionless, seemed somewhat proud as she grabbed my hand.

“Shall we go then?”

I nodded and stood up.

Squeak

The sound I heard earlier comes from my feet.

I’m feeling very embarrassed as I notice everyone’s eyes suddenly turning towards me.

Unlike me, Yuna seems a bit excited and starts making squeaking sounds as she toddles along.

Squeak squeak squeak

Watching this, I smile fondly at how cute Yuna is.

Chae-a, who seems to have had enough of the swing, wipes her forehead with the back of her hand and runs over to us, saying:

“That was the most fun ever…!”

Her hair has become like a lion’s mane from how much she enjoyed it.

I’m smiling at Chae-a’s appearance when.

Chae-a alternately stares at my shoes and Yuna’s shoes, then clasps her hands together and tells us:

“Wow. Chae-a knows that. They’re sticky shoes…!”

Sticky? I look at her with a puzzled expression, surprised that she calls them sticky shoes instead of squeaky shoes.

Chae-a tells me with a somewhat proud expression:

“They cry ‘stick stick’ every time you take them off and put them on!”

Ah, so that’s what she meant.

I nod, thinking that these shoes did indeed make such a sound when I put them on, and affirm Chae-a’s observation.

“That’s right.”

At those words, Chae-a smiles proudly, seeming pleased to have gotten the answer correct.

I looked at Chae-a like that and handed her the shoes Han A-rin bought, saying:

“Put these on…!”

At those words, Chae-a imitated the bowing I used to express gratitude before, prostrating herself on the ground.

As she lay down, Han A-rin’s scream could be heard, but that probably wasn’t very important.

Anyway, I brushed off Chae-a’s sand-covered body and pointed to the rock where we sat earlier, saying:

“Sit here!”

“Okay!”

Watching Chae-a run over, I smiled broadly.

* * *

Squeak squeak squeak

The squeaking sound echoes all around.

Since making noise with every step was quite embarrassing, I kept lowering my head.

But because Yuna and Chae-a were so happy, it was awkward to stop midway, so the three of us wandered around the park and playground.

The most memorable among them was the (by my height standards) huge dinosaur-shaped sculpture.

It was incredibly cute how the usually indifferent Yuna became extremely happy and clung to the sculpture.

Watching that scene, I thought this couldn’t be for my eyes only.

Wanting to show off to everyone, I immediately turned on the broadcast and said to the viewers:

“Yuna is so cute.”

As soon as I turned on the broadcast, I showed Yuna clinging to the dinosaur sculpture, saying Yuna is cute.

[Seo-rin Seo-rin – A baby calling another baby cute is too adorable ㅠㅠㅠ]

[AnimalLover – ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wait, Ha-eun, did you turn on the broadcast just to show this? Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[I want to regress – It’s really cute how she’s saying her friend is cute with her chubby cheeks. Ha-eun, you’re cute too!]

Somehow there were more stories about me.

I thought it might be because Yuna wasn’t visible well, so I approached Yuna with my phone, but.

Still, only stories about me were coming up in the chat.

[Mirimiri-a – She’s so similar to my daughter haha. She really likes squeaky shoes.]

[Forward roll – Looks like the babies are wearing squeaky shoes, I keep hearing squeaky sounds.]

[Mnyaninya – Ha-eun got a new hair pin? It suits her so well!!]

I felt a bit embarrassed by that, so I deliberately turned the screen and was busy filming Yuna.

Yuna, who had been stuck to the dinosaur sculpture for a while, noticed the phone and came to her senses, showing signs of embarrassment and quickly covering her face with her tail.
