One day, after the start of the second semester, while being overwhelmed with childcare and studying with Heena.

For the first time in four years of knowing Heena, I faced her anger, which started from a conversation in the living room right after we woke up.

"Honey, did you forget anything yesterday?"

"Forgot? Did I? I finished a project, played with Sarang..."

"Really? You really don't know? Or even now?"

"Yeah. Why? Is there something I should've done?"

"......"

"Sorry. I really don't know... Can you tell me?"

"Never mind! Hmph!"

"Uh? Uh, Heena!"

-Bang!

That weekend morning, after that short exchange, Heena shut herself in the room. The exhaustion from yesterday's assignments carried over to today, making it hard for my dazed mind to understand the current situation.

And from then until lunchtime, I couldn't see Heena's face.

On the weekend, when my mother-in-law, father-in-law, and Heeseong hyung were all gathered, we held an emergency meeting at the dining table about the current situation.

Heena had often pretended to be upset as a joke, but she had only been genuinely angry once before. That was when she fought with my mother-in-law over my living arrangements when she was pregnant.

Even then, it was a fight with my mother-in-law, not me, so everyone took this situation quite seriously.

"Hey, what did you do yesterday?"

"Yeah, son-in-law~ Think carefully. How were things before bed?"

"Hmm... We were fine when I went to bed after watching her study."

"Yesterday... uh... yesterday... I fed Sarang her formula and put her to sleep... Then we each worked on our assignments in the living room... Father-in-law went to bed... 𝘙

Um... after I finally finished my assignment... I went to bed first... and..."

"And?"

"Uh... slept. Nothing else happened. I was too tired, so I told her I was going to bed first and went to sleep. But there were no problems with Heena until then..."

"Then why is she like this?"

That was the question. No matter how much I thought about our conversation from yesterday.

'Gosh... I'm so sleepy! Heena, I'm sorry but I'm going to bed first.'

'Yeah, you worked hard~ Honey, then...'

'Don't stay up too late~ Yawn...'

'......'

I even told her she worked hard on her assignments and that I was going to bed first. She didn't mind that.

She seemed like she wanted to say something more, but if it had been really important, she would have held onto me and said it. So it couldn't have been that. Plus, Heena isn't the type to get angry over something I missed saying.

What could have made her suddenly so sharp? It felt as unexpected as her mood swings when she was pregnant... She's not pregnant now...

"......"

Wait a minute. Hold on.

No way? No way?! No, it can't be. We've been careful about contraception since having Sarang!

We always used condoms regardless of safe days, so it couldn't be that.

But then again, Heena never got this sensitive over trivial matters unless she was pregnant, so it made me unsure.

I quickly searched for the effectiveness of condoms on my smartphone.

Let's see, experts say the effectiveness of condoms is 80-85%... So there's a 15-20% failure rate... That's higher than I thought? Ah, this includes cases where the condom has issues. But we didn't always check the condom carefully afterward...

I started sweating coldly as I checked my phone, and Heeseong hyung came over and peeked at my phone.

After seeing what I searched, he took a deep breath.

"...Hey, no way, right?"

"I don't know... But considering her sudden mood swings only towards me... uh... she was like this last year too."

"Damn, saying it like that makes it sound very convincing."

"Why, why? Do you know what's going on?"

Seeing us seem to grasp something, my mother-in-law and father-in-law leaned in and asked.

"What should I say? It's not certain, but..."

"What is it?"

"...I think she might be pregnant again..."

"......"

"......"

At my words, both of their faces hardened immediately. It made sense. After all, it hadn't been that long since the last accident.

"Did you not use protection again?"

"No! We definitely used it every time! But, they say that even with protection, there's still a bit of a chance..."

In my hurried response, my mother-in-law sighed in relief.

"Then it probably isn't that. Last time, Heena was living on her own, so I couldn't see, but now I see her every day, so there's no way I wouldn't notice~"

"Really?"

"Of course~ She's my daughter. Plus, if she had such a feeling, Heena would have said something first."

"That... that makes sense, right?"

With my mother-in-law's confident reply, everyone sighed in relief. But the problem was back to square one.

If she wasn't pregnant, why did Heena suddenly act this way towards me? It would be good if I had even a clue, but everything was fine until just before bed last night, so I had no idea.

As we all closed our eyes and pondered, Heeseong hyung shook his head and stood up first.

"Is there any need to worry? She'll probably cool down by the time we eat. How long can she stay mad at you anyway?"

"Well..."

Thinking about Heena's usual self, Heeseong hyung's words made sense, but something felt different today.

It felt more like she was genuinely hurt.

Still, I felt that he might be right, so I was about to go into the room when the door clicked open, and Heena came out, holding a freshly awakened Sarang.

Now that I think about it, it was time to feed Sarang.

Usually, everyone would be fussing over who gets to feed her, but today, everyone quietly sat and watched Heena.

In the silence, Heena approached her mother.

"Mom, can you hold Sarang for a bit? I need to prepare her formula."

"Sure~ Did our princess sleep well?"

"Ah-oo!"

"Oh, you’re in a good mood? Well done~ You slept so well~"

Contrary to my worries, she treated her mother with her usual demeanor. Seeing that, I mustered up the courage to follow Heena to the cupboard.

Maybe Heena, feeling guilty for being sharp, might even apologize to me. I harbored that small hope. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Heena, take a rest. I'll make the formula."

Standing next to Heena, I offered, trying to get the formula container, but...

"Hmph!"

-Swish!

She snorted and turned her back to me, clearly making a sound for me to hear. I was taken aback by her reaction.

It wasn't because she was showing anger towards me for the first time.

It was because even in her serious mode, Heena looked so cute.

Recently, Sarang had started grabbing everything in sight, so Heena had tied her hair up in a ponytail to keep it out of reach, and even that was incredibly cute. The few strands of hair sticking out at the back of her neck gave off a sexy vibe.

But cute was cute, and I felt the need to address this situation.

"I'm sorry..."

Still, not knowing the exact reason for her anger, I apologized first. If it were just a playful act, it wouldn't matter, but if she were truly mad, then I must have done something wrong.

Heena wouldn't be seriously angry over something trivial.

Even if I didn't know what it was.

"For what? What did you do wrong?"

Fortunately, it seemed she wasn't planning to avoid conversation altogether, as she slightly turned her head and asked.

I took a deep breath, trying to think quickly with the small breathing space I had.

What could it be?! What did I do wrong?

"Uh... um..."

Honestly, I had no idea!

"Yesterday... uh... not sleeping together...?"

Since it started from last night, that was the only thing that came to mind.

"If you don't know anything, what's the point of apologizing? Forget it!"

It seemed I was wrong.

After that, she didn't even look at me, silently making the formula and then holding Sarang again.

Meanwhile, Sarang reached out to me as usual, but...

"Han Sarang! You need to drink your formula!"

Ignoring Sarang's pitiful actions, Heena went back to the room.

As soon as she entered the room, the family, who had been watching our conversation in silence, immediately stood up.

"Since she's treating her mom normally, it seems like I won't get caught in the crossfire. I guess I'll just play some games."

"Dear, shall we go grocery shopping? Beef is really cheap these days~"

"Sounds good."

They didn't seem to know what was going on and seemed to be leaving it to me to figure it out.

But with no clue what was wrong, how was I supposed to handle this?

I had no idea why this was happening on a weekend when we should be resting. I felt a sudden wave of fatigue and buried my face in my hands.

Still, I didn't feel any particular sense of crisis. My relationship with Heena was too solid to be shaken by something like this. It was just the first time experiencing this, so I was unsure how to handle it.

Maybe I should just go in and hug and kiss her until she's over it, like when she's a little upset. That might work with Heena.

But it's a bit much to go in right away, so maybe I should wait until Sarang finishes her formula.

"Hey."

"Huh?"

While I was half-decided and waiting, my brother Heeseong tapped me on the back and called me.

"I don't know what it is, but after some time, it'll blow over, right?"

"Hmm..."

I agreed with that, but since I didn't know how long that would take, just waiting felt a bit off. Especially since I might have done something wrong.

"You finished one of your assignments yesterday, so you should have some free time today."

"I still have more assignments... but they're not urgent."

"I have a lot of free time today too. So..."

Heeseong lowered his voice as he continued.

"Wanna clear a two-player map on Biohazard?"

"......"

"Hey, this is the perfect opportunity while she's like that. When else will we get to play without interruptions?"

Even though Heena being this mad at me was a first, I knew that this was probably the worst choice I could make today.
