The next morning, I woke up feeling strange for some reason while wearing my usual slip dress. As I opened my eyes, I saw Hyesol sleeping next to me, looking like an angel clinging to me, although… the area she was holding onto…

-Swish swish swish.

A sound of sucking something vigorously.

I felt something was off, and then I realized that the chest area of my slip dress was damp… no, moist.

“Ugh.”

It was damp, maybe because of saliva or something else. But imagining what if Hyesol had wet the clothes and sucked on my bare skin with a familiar feeling gave me chills. Wait, why is my nipple erect?!

Anyway, I had quite a spectacular experience in the morning, which made sleep flee from my eyes. It was not a situation where I could just push away the child clinging to me and get up. So, I lay still, gently patting Hyesol’s back. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and it opened.

“Mom, the milk today… huh?!”

I was lying facing the door, and Hyesol, turning her back to me, had her hand on my chest, making sucking sounds on the top pad of the slip dress. In other words, the scene revealed when the door opened…

“A-Are you breastfeeding Hyesol right now?”

It was shocking indeed. If it were an ordinary woman, she might have overlooked it, but I was not an ordinary woman.

“N-No. It’s not like that. When I woke up, Hyesol was sucking on my chest…”

“W-What?!”

If I stopped talking there, what would happen? I had to say that she was sucking on the pad of the slip dress.

Just then, Hyesol, also awakened by the commotion, looked back and forth between me and Dayoung, then snuggled into my arms and mumbled.

“Mama… mama…”

“D-Did you just call me ‘mama’? What kind of perverse desire are you harboring with that wicked ‘mama’ term!”

“Hey! What are you thinking! It’s not like that! You’re really clueless!”

Although I smacked her on the back hard enough to make her see stars, it seemed like she was naturally inclined that way. But as the target of this teasing was me, I couldn’t just let it slide.

And what’s with “mama”? Mama-tong? Is that some bizarre word? Nowadays, doing internet broadcasts, learning only strange words, King Sejong must be rolling in his grave.

“You stay right there. I’ll give you twice the beating you got yesterday.”

“N-No~ I don’t want to. Hurry up and change your clothes and come out. Old lady.”

Saying so, Dayoung playfully stuck out her tongue like a child and quickly slipped out of the room. Her behavior was so annoying that I had to chase after her and smack her on the back.

“Hmm… mama…”

Hurriedly calming down Hyesol, who was sobbing due to the sudden argument between me and Dayoung, I went into the dressing room to change clothes. Before taking off my clothes, I glanced at the mirror.

Oh, it really got wet. The dress on the right side of my chest was deeply stained with moisture.

There seemed to be slight tooth marks, and for some reason, my nipple felt a bit itchy right after waking up. If there hadn’t been pads, it could have led to a significant disaster.

Anyway, I quickly changed into my familiar casual look after taking off the slip dress and took Hyesol to the kitchen.

“Oh, Hyesol is awake?!”

Dayoung approached us, petting Hyesol with a worried expression. Her back was defenseless.

-Slap!

“Ouch!”

After hitting her back, Dayoung glared at me, then suddenly pretended to cry and complained to Hyesol.

“Waaah~ This lady hit me, Hyesol. Tell her off. Boohoo~”

Hyesol’s gaze sharpened a bit, then she looked at me.

“Don’t hit her! If Mom hits someone else, this lady will hit Mom! She said so!”

That woman is me, but I couldn’t scold her because she looked so cute.

“Ugh, okay. Hyesol is right, people who hit others are bad. The lady did something wrong.”

When I apologized obediently, Dayoung pointed at her with a bright smile and said, “If you did something wrong, you have to apologize!”

Oh, her short pronunciation just melts my ears. Did she just tell me to apologize to Dayoung? Apologize to a kid who doesn’t take nonsense from adults like me? My pride was hurt, but I managed to apologize with adult patience.

“I’m sorry for hitting you.”

Hyesol looked proudly at me. But Dayoung, mischievous as ever, asked, “Why did you hit me?”

“Oh, Hyesol. Unnie won’t accept the lady’s apology, will she?”

This time, Dayoung glared at me.

“Oh, I accepted the apology. It’s okay! It’s fine!”

Dayoung’s eyes softened again as she smiled.

“Oh~ How cute.”

Soon, Dabin joined in and helped take care of Hyesol. He was a bit rigid with his younger cousins, but following Hyesol’s lead made him look very handsome.

Anyway, I entrusted the children to Hyesol and prepared breakfast. Unlike usual, I had to prepare meals for three kids, so my hands moved busily.

After quickly finishing breakfast preparations, I fed Hyesol on my lap. Perhaps because of Hasol, the kids couldn’t focus on eating, and breakfast took longer than usual. Still, I always left some room for flexibility and wasn’t worried about being late.

“Hyesol, we’ll go to school, unnie and oppa.”

“Hyesol, unnie and oppa are going to school. Be good.”

“Have a good day~”

The school knows where it is, just greeting as instructed, bowing slightly with short tongue pronunciation, Hyeseol’s cute greeting. Dayoung and Davin also hesitated in Hyeseol’s appearance, so they quickly ushered the children away.

After sending the children to school like that, only Hyeseol and I remained, and I asked Hyeseol.

“Hyeseol, today is a day off from kindergarten.”

Then frowning, she makes a face.

“So, what about Dahee and Hyunsu?”

Probably talking about the kids who came down together yesterday.

“Dahee and Hyunsu are not going to kindergarten today either?”

She didn’t look happy, maybe she wanted to see her friends.

“Then will this old lady play with you? Insect play?”

At the mention of insect play, I quickly shook my head and said,

“Today, how about going to a kids cafe with Hyeseol and the old lady? How does Hyeseol feel about that?”

With the mention of the kids cafe, Hyeseol’s eyes widened and her expression brightened suddenly.

“I like the kids cafe! Kids cafe!”

It seems that when Dayoung and Davin were around, the concept of a kids cafe didn’t exist, so they just played at the playground or something, so the kids cafe was quite unfamiliar to me too.

“Then let’s wash up and go to the kids cafe together?”

“Yes!”

First, I was bothered by not being able to bathe the child yesterday due to falling asleep suddenly, but I thought I should bathe now, so we bathed together. Since there was only a shower booth in the master bathroom, we went to the living room bathroom with a bathtub, filled it with water, took off our clothes, and then took off Hyeseol’s clothes and entered the bathroom. It had been a while since I bathed in a tub at home… almost since we moved in? Anyway, it was the first time it changed like this.

From the beginning, I used to avoid taking a bath under the moon in front of the company. Also, as an adult male, I felt the bathtub was a bit small, so I rarely used it. But now that my body has changed, the tub doesn’t feel as small as before.

Actually, there wasn’t much burden about washing a girl since Doyoung used to wash like this in the old days. However, it did feel a bit different entering the bathroom with a woman’s body now.

Anyway, Hyeseol showed interest in the yellow duck toy and various sea creature figures in the bathtub and entered without any reluctance.

“Ah… feels good.”

How long has it been since I leisurely soaked in the tub? After becoming a woman, I couldn’t go to public baths and only showered, missing the chance to soak my body properly. Thanks to Hyeseol, soaking in the warm water felt like paradise.

Hyeseol came in with toys, played for a while, then looked at me and started playing hand games. Soon, she pointed at my chest and asked,

“Ajumma, what’s this?”

With innocent eyes, it was hard not to answer when she asked while pointing at my chest…

“This, this is a chest. Hyeseol’s mom also has one, right? Women have chests that stick out like this~”

Upon hearing this, Hyeseol furrowed her brow and said with a smirk,

“Hyeseol’s mom’s isn’t big like ajumma’s, and mom calls it ‘jjijji’!”

As if insisting that I was wrong, Hyeseol confidently spoke. Jinhee, what are you teaching the child?!

“Well, yes. Jjijji. But adults also call it a chest. Understand?”

It’s better to offer something better rather than outright saying a child is wrong, to naturally guide them. Children look up to adults and want to imitate what they do, including using words. So from now on, instead of ‘jjijji,’ it’s a chest…

“Jjijji, jjijji!”

“Y-yes. Jjijji…”

I couldn’t deny it, so with tears in my eyes, I reluctantly agreed with Hyeseol’s words.

“Hyeseol’s mom said there’s milk in jjijji! When Hyeseol was young, she drank milk from mom’s jjijji!”

That’s true… Since they’re kids, they should innocently accept it. Why does everything sound inappropriate?

“Yes, Hyeseol knows well. Hahaha.”

“Mom’s jjijji is big, so there must be a lot of milk, right?”

“Huh?”

“Mom said so! Mom only has as much as Hyeseol drinks, so even if mom’s jjijji is small, it’s okay. Moms have to share with older siblings, so they need bigger ones, right? Older siblings are bigger! So eat a lot! That way, mom’s jjijji will grow too!”

Oh, how far can a child’s imagination go? I couldn’t understand the direction of this conversation. Or rather, I didn’t want to know.

Anyway, Hyeseol proudly extended her chest forward as if she had given the correct answer, almost as if asking for praise.

“Ah…hahaha. That’s right. Hyeseol knows everything, huh? Very smart…hahaha.”

“Hehehe.”

Oh, soaking in hot water and feeling dizzy, my head spinning and vision darkening already.

“Ajumma, are you okay?”

Seeing me wrap my head as if feeling dizzy, Hyeseol asked with a smirk.

“Oh, no. Haha.”

I just laughed, unable to say my head hurt because of Hyeseol.
