When I returned home after a long outing, my daughter greeted me warmly, wagging her fluffy tail.

    “Huh? Mom, were you outside?”

    “Yeah, I went out for a bit to get some fresh air for the first time in a while. My daughter, did everything go well at daycare?”

    “Yes! Nothing happened! Except Jaeseok kept avoiding me…”

    My daughter lowered her head with a gloomy expression.

    The fluffy tail that used to wag its tail had now become limp, so I went over to my daughter and patted her head.

    “Phehe, do you have feelings for Jaeseok? It seems like you talk about him a lot these days?”

    “Oh, no! I like it! Oh, not yet… We’re just friends.”

    Jin-ha strongly denies it.

    But the body was honest, and the tails had already started to wag.

    If I told you that his tail was wagging right now, he would probably run away in embarrassment.

    I wanted to see my shy daughter even a little bit, so I smiled brightly and ruffled her hair.

    “Jinha? They say there is no friendship between a man and a woman. What is it about Jaeseok that our daughter likes so much that she fell in love with him so much?”

    “Ba, I told you I’m not in love with you? We’re really friends! If you ask Jaeseok…!”

    “Haha, I see. So you’re saying ‘not now’? ”

    Let’s play one more time. Jin-ha screamed and ran away to his room, his fur fluttering.

    Man, I’m already completely in love with you. How can we be friends?

    If we were really friends, I would have gotten angry first. Just like my husband and I before we got married.

    If someone says something like, ‘Me? With that kid? Are you crazy?’, then I don’t know, but if it’s an ambiguous reaction like that.

    “It’s become a fact that I saw the future. Maybe that scene will come out very early.”

    …We need to make sex education strict. If we want to prevent accidents from happening from a young age.

    I took a deep breath and walked slowly to calm down my daughter who was very upset.

    “By the way, who does this person resemble to be so shy? My husband and I are far from being shy.”

    “That’s true. Every night, when I see the mansion yapping, I wonder if you have any shame.”

    “Shut up, why are you suddenly coming out and picking a fight?”

    “Aren’t you just telling the truth? Are you angry because I hit the nail on the head?”

    “Anyway, nothing has changed from then to now. Well, after living that long, is it strange that things change?”

    “…What?”

    A murderous glint appears for a moment in her bright blue eyes that shine like jewels, then disappears.

    Even though the fox goddess is insensitive to other things, she seems to be quite sensitive to the issue of age.

    I wanted to keep teasing him, but the murderous aura I had briefly felt was too terrifying and scary, so I forced myself to turn my head away and hurried my steps.

    “Ah, it’s nothing. Jin-ha is upset, so let’s go and let him go, okay? Let go of that rotten expression!”

    “Okay, go alone. I have other things to do.”

    “Really? See you later! And don’t worry too much about being old! 900 years… uh…”

    “Please shut your mouth. It makes me mad every time I hear it.”

    The fox goddess disappeared somewhere while getting nervous, and I briefly looked at the place where she disappeared before moving back to Jin-ha’s room.

    After walking for a while, a tightly closed door caught my eye.

    I took a deep breath as I looked at the sign that said [Jin Ha-bang♡].

    and.

    “Are you serious?”

    When I knocked hard and called my daughter, she answered in a panicked voice.

    [Hey, Mom?!]

    “Yeah, can I come in for a minute?”

    [Okay, wait a minute! The room isn’t quite finished tidying up yet…!]

    Boom boom boom!!!

    What on earth are you trying to hide from my parents?

    I called my daughter’s name in a low voice at the loud noise coming from the room.

    “Yoon Jin-ha.”

    [Oh, Mom! Wait a minute! Joe, just a little bit…!]

    “If you don’t open it by the count of three, open it and go in. One, two…”

    [Yes, I’ll open it! Just a moment, Mom!]

    Eventually, as the countdown began, Jin-ha had no choice but to open the door on his own, and I tilted my head as I looked at the clean room just like last time.

    It’s clean enough, so why bother cleaning it? Compared to how I used to be, it’s incredibly clean.

    As I was about to enter the room, recalling the old days when I lived with a pile of trash, Jin-ha blocked me by rubbing her soft cheek against my thigh.

    “Hey, Mom? What’s going on in my room…”

    “Jinhaya.”

    “Yes, yes!”

    “What you’re doing is exactly the same as what I did in the past.”

    I looked down at my cute daughter, who was acting foolishly, with the corners of her lips raised, with cold eyes.

    “Why don’t you explain why your room smells like Jaeseok?”

    —–

    Before marriage, that is, the time when the feeling called love is endlessly denied.

    Even though I rejected my husband, I still liked the scent so much that I would steal one or two items to smell.

    At first, she stole a ballpoint pen that she had used for a long time, then several other things that her husband had touched, and finally, even clothes that she had accidentally left behind.

    I think I’m a pervert, but that’s just how I was back then.

    “That, so Mom? That’s…”

    I was afraid that she might be my daughter for no reason, so my annoying daughter copied my actions even though I didn’t teach her.

    The only fortunate thing is that the only items that have been stolen so far are erasers and pens.

    I sighed deeply, twirling the pen in my hand.

    “Hoo…”

    What should I do with this daughter who is already showing her obsession?

    No, but more than that, why on earth did our cute daughter fall for such a kid?

    I thought long and hard about what to say first, but I couldn’t think of anything to say, so I just ruffled my daughter’s hair.

    “Ugh…”

    Jin-ha rolled his eyes, watching me closely, as if he was feeling uneasy because I was just stroking his head without saying anything.

    Bubi-bubi-bubi.

    First, in an attempt to somehow lighten the heavy atmosphere, he began to carefully rub his soft cheeks.

    …it’s really cute when he acts cute and asks you to close your eyes, but what’s wrong is wrong.

    I quietly pushed Jin-ha away and returned the pen I had taken.

    “Daughter.”

    “Yes, Mom.”

    “No matter what, it’s wrong to steal someone else’s stuff. Especially if you stole it just to smell it… um…”

    A lot of things came to mind, but they were too high a level to say to my five-year-old daughter.

    “Give it back to me tomorrow. And Jaeseok might not like it, so it would be best not to do this. Okay? ”

    “Oh, I see…”

    I scolded Jin-ha using only the most normal words possible.

    As the nagging ended, an awkward atmosphere began to flow between mother and daughter.

    Jin-ha just played with his ballpoint pen without saying a word, and I also didn’t know what to say, so I just played with his cute tail.

    And then.

    “Mom?”

    “Are you serious?”

    As if by coincidence, Jin-ha and I called each other at the same time, and in embarrassment, we yielded the right to speak to each other.

    “Mom, please speak first.”

    “No, you called first, so tell me. What’s going on?”

    When I shook my head and gave him the right to speak, Jin-ha twisted his small body around and asked me a question.

    “This might be a little sudden, but… how did Mom and Dad end up loving each other?”

    “How did you fall in love? So you’re asking why I fell in love?”

    “Yes! Honestly, I was curious. While I was looking around the mansion, I found an old photo of my dad, and he looks much scarier than he does now…”

    I nod my head repeatedly at my daughter’s cautious remarks.

    It certainly looked scary.

    Skinhead, evil face, and bulging muscles. On top of that, he’s also equipped with a sinister smile as a passive ability. Who would say he’s not scary?

    I link arms with my husband, recalling him six years ago when he was much more eccentric and feisty than he is now.

    “Well, I don’t know either. How did you end up falling in love with her?”

    I don’t know exactly why the feeling called love sprouted.

    Did the friendship that began as a feeling of love turn into a feeling of love, or did the gratitude for salvation turn into a feeling of love?

    I don’t know.

    But one thing is for sure, what made me fall for him so completely was sex.

    After a few days of drinking and having sex with the guy, I think I was so hooked that I couldn’t get away.

    …But how should I say this?

    I can’t tell my five-year-old daughter, “We had sex and we were so compatible that we ended up getting married.” Do I have to make up a lie?

    After thinking about it for a moment, I slowly opened my mouth, recalling the time I went to Japan.

    “There were so many times when Mom was in danger. But every time, your dad came and saved her. So, it would be easier to think of him as a prince on a white horse from a fairy tale.”

    “Really?”

    “Of course! Your father was a beast riding a white horse, but he was really cool when he came to save you. I fell in love with him, so under the night sky with firecrackers exploding, my mother confessed first.”

    Six years ago, we decided to call it a draw, but love stories are fun when you add a little exaggeration to them.

    Recalling that sweet kiss, I stroked my daughter’s head as she listened with her ears pricked up.

    “Your father must have felt for your mother because he accepted her right away. That’s how the two of them dated and got married.”

    I’ve left out a lot of stuff, and there seem to be some distortions throughout the story, but the truth is the truth.

    While she was feeling happy listening to her daughter’s admiration, her husband, who must be a nobleman, came to Jin-ha’s room.

    “What are you talking about so interestingly without me knowing? Let me join in.”

    “I was just telling you how we ended up dating. I just finished talking.”

    “You and me? That’s just sex…”

    “Okay, that’s it.”

    Bang!!!!!

    I just took out a frying pan and hit my husband on the head.
