Knock knock knock.

A cute and cuddly baby gumiho walks to the end of the table with a bright smile.

Click – click –

The stone objects placed on the table were tossed around by the baby gumiho’s kicks, raising questions among the guests.

Are you saying that you don’t want to do the stone grabbing at all? Or is it that you don’t like any of the stone grabbing items?

It was definitely an unexpected situation for the child to leave the table without choosing a stone grab item, but since even the child’s parents remained silent, the guests decided to keep quiet and watch the situation unfold.

So soon, the baby gumiho arrived at the end of the table.

Jin-ha realized that the table was too high for him to get down on his own, so he called for a helper to help him get down from the table.

“Daddy – !”

As expected, my father is easygoing.

As the baby gumiho laughed and called her father, the unstoppable Na-chal arrived at the table in the blink of an eye and placed her on the ground.

“What on earth are you trying to choose, coming down from under the table without looking at all those items? Are you thinking of picking up bugs from the floor and becoming an entomologist?”

No, but I think there are no insects because it’s winter.

He looks at his daughter with a puzzled look, but still has no answer.

Nachal thought about stopping that bratty brat right now, but he gave up his thoughts when he heard Cheonho’s voice next to him.

“You must have different thoughts. As you know, Jin-ha is smarter than us, right? He wouldn’t have come down under the table without meaning to.”

“That’s true…but why am I so anxious? Should I say I feel like I’m going to choose something I shouldn’t?”

“No way. There aren’t any strange tools at the event.”

Although Cheonho reassured her husband with a soft voice, she was also a little anxious.

Even though she was only born that long, my daughter is more thoughtful than others, but because of that, there are many times when it is even more difficult to understand her thoughts.

In fact, when I was drawing at 9 months old, I drew a delicious cross-section of a crossbreeding press, not an ordinary drawing.

“Let’s wait… for now. I’ll make a normal choice in my own way.”

A couple who respect their daughter’s choice even though they are anxious.

But unfortunately, the baby gumiho completely failed my parents’ expectations.

“Kyaang – !”

The baby gumiho’s soft hands lift something from the floor.

A thin pink line that is visible at first glance.

The guests who attended focused their gaze on the golden rice cake’s soft right hand with sparkling eyes, and soon Jin-ha’s small hand began to slowly open like a flower bud.

And the moment when the identity of the long-awaited stone grabbing item is revealed.

Woof – Woof –

“Uh… um… uh…”

The guests who attended all let out a collective sigh and then immediately shut their mouths.

Because I felt like if I opened my mouth without understanding the mood, I would get my head cut off by the angry Nachal.

“Ouch!”

However, as if he didn’t realize this serious atmosphere, Jin-ha proudly raised the vibrating pink rotor with his soft hands and howled confidently.

“You picked up the rotor with a stone pick…? More importantly, why is that thing on the ground?”

At that dizzying sight, Cheonho briefly denied reality and grabbed the back of his neck.

Cheonho looked at the pink vibrating massage device with a face of disbelief, and after a while, she was able to deduce why the rotor had fallen to the ground.

That fucking bitch dropped the rotor while she was being dragged out.

Judging by the obscene liquid still sloshing around on the surface, it must have been left behind by a succubus.

“You seem like a bitch who’s really useless in life.”

Forgiveness is cancellation, and you will definitely die.

No, killing you is too easy, so I’ll just make you suffer until your anger subsides.

When he exploded in anger, the maids who had been staring blankly came to their senses and snatched the rotor from Jin-ha’s hand, and asked Sung-ha about the treatment of succubi.

[What should I do, Madam? Should I kill him?]

“Later, I’ll think about that later.”

Because right now we have to focus on getting the situation under control.

You can’t say that you caught the rotor with a stone grabber.

Besides, the rotor didn’t have any particular meaning as a stone-catching tool, and even if it were given one, it wouldn’t have any particularly good meaning, so Jin-ha had no choice but to try stone-catching one more time.

So, in the stone grab that was proceeding normally again, what did the baby gumiho choose?

“Like mother, like daughter, I guess. She’s also a jujube after all.”

‘I knew it from the moment I grabbed the rotor with the stone grabber.’

Naturally, it was the jujube, a symbol of fertility and prosperity.

—–

My nephew’s first birthday party, which I thought was ruined by choosing a rotor, fortunately turned into a good mood thanks to my nephew’s playful antics.

…I still wonder why they chose the rotor that was far away instead of the other stone-catching items, but judging from the expressions on the faces of the Yang family members, it seemed like they decided to keep this matter quiet.

I quietly watched my cute nephew’s antics while eating the snacks prepared on the table.

[Now, lastly, I would appreciate it if the grandfathers could come forward and put a silk thread around their granddaughters’ necks.]

The first birthday party is now slowly coming to an end.

After the first birthday party, the nephew, who had been fast asleep, left the venue to rest as soon as the silk thread was around his neck. As the host announced the end of the first birthday party, the guests who had attended began to stand up one by one and leave the venue.

Shouldn’t I go back too? To be honest, I feel a bit uncomfortable staying here.

It is obvious that the issue of marriage will come up if we stay together for no reason.

So I looked around and quietly got up from my seat, but my mom, who had no idea what I was thinking, grabbed my hand and sat me back down.

“Let’s go later. It’s been a while since we’ve all gathered together, so shouldn’t we take a break from all the memories?”

“Uh, Mom? I have something urgent to do. Can you wake up first?”

“What’s the rush? I told you to clear all your schedules today because it’s Jin-ha’s first birthday party.”

“That’s… Ha, no. I’ll contact you and tell you that you can’t beat me to death today. Don’t stare at me like that.”

I tried to lie just in case, but it didn’t work.

If he had continued to lie, he would have gotten all the hate and failed to run away.

Since I couldn’t run away anyway, I thought it would be better to at least avoid getting scolded, so I pretended to type a message and avoided my mother’s suspicions.

By the way, what should we do now? If Sungha and Hyukjin join the table, I think they’ll really start talking about marriage.

“What should I do…?”

“What’s wrong, Seongju? Is there a problem?”

“Oh, it’s nothing! Mom! Si, you don’t have to worry about it!”

“You keep making me nervous. Usually he’s like his father and is so mean, but why is he acting like this today?”

Mom narrows her eyes and looks at me with suspicion.

When I waved my hand and said that nothing was wrong, my mother shook her head and looked away.

It’s frustrating.

How should I respond if the topic of marriage comes up?

I recently had to have someone like a boyfriend.

He has been confessing his love to me for a long time, and it was only recently that I opened my heart to accept his confession.

Then that’s fine! You might say, “Isn’t it wrong to say that I have a boyfriend?” But unfortunately, the man who has been courting me endlessly is a boy with the appearance of a 12-year-old.

Even my lenient younger sibling would have a fit, saying it was a crime, and yet I proudly introduce this guy to my mom and dad as my boyfriend?

“Maybe it won’t be deleted from the family register.”

“What?”

“No, Mom. I said the hotteok pie I ate today was delicious.”

“The hotteok pie was delicious. It was well-made, rich and moderately sweet.”

Anyway, as I was feeling lost, my younger brother joined me, wagging his lovely and sturdy tail, and I prepared myself mentally by eating all the remaining snacks.

“Thank you for coming today. There was a bit of an accident, but… it ended well.”

“You’ve had a hard time too. Phew, raising Jin-ha must have been a lot of work, right?”

“That’s right, I never thought you’d cause this much trouble…”

The two brothers continue to have a friendly atmosphere while chatting about various things.

I guess he was considerate of me, because he deliberately brought up the topic of his nephew rather than marriage, and I had hoped that the topic of marriage wouldn’t come up.

“By the way, Seongju? Are you dating anyone these days?”

The clueless CEO brutally crushed my hopes by bringing up the topic of marriage.

“Haha, are you dating someone? Hmm…”

What should I say? If I say yes, he’ll be madly pestering me to show him his face. But if I say no, it feels like my pride will be hurt.

I take a deep breath as I think about what to say.

“Hoo.”

… Seriously, why does my boyfriend have to look like a boy?

If I had a reasonably strong build, I would have revealed it with great confidence.

I’m in a relationship. I love someone, and I’m even thinking about marrying them.

Since I couldn’t think of anything to say, I just lowered my head and remained silent. The boss scratched his head as if embarrassed and tried to comfort me.

“It’s okay, Sae-a-ga and Hyuk-jin just got married too early. The ideal age for marriage these days is in your 30s, right? You still have a long time left, so take your time and think about it.”

“Yeah, time heals everything. Look at Hyukjin, he thought he would never get married, but he finally found his match and got married.”

It was a comforting word filled with regret, but when I actually heard it, I didn’t feel good at all.

Why do I have to hear such things when there is already someone who loves and cares for me?

Are appearances really that important? Isn’t love enough?

Whatever it was, it was legal in terms of age, right?

In a moment of anger, I lost all sense of reason and confessed my love life to the adults in a small voice.

“Actually, I have a boyfriend.”

Everyone was amazed at the amazing sight that left them mouths wide open.

“I’m seriously thinking about getting married…”

He continued muttering in an even smaller voice.
