NOVEL NEXT Chapter 148
In the end, I wasn’t sure if I went to learn tennis or something else, but anyway, for about two weeks after that, my wife and I visited the tennis court whenever we had the time.
I’m not really good at sports, so I didn’t feel like my skills were improving that much, but with my wife’s 100% carrot teaching, after a few practice matches, I managed to reach a decent level.
I ended up meeting again with the executive’s couple we met back then to have a wager match. Well, in the end, because of me, we lost the match.
Anyway, I’m really enjoying tennis itself.
“Appa, Appa!”
And today, as usual, I was focused on my main job, and next to me, as if it were a scheduled appointment, our princess was sitting.
Recently, before I officially start broadcasting, I sometimes bring Joo-ha to chat with viewers, and when I’m in a situation where I have to eat during the broadcast, I do that with Joo-ha as well.
Still, my broadcast time tends to be a bit late, so Joo-ha often has to go to bed soon, which means we can’t spend that much time together, but even that allows me to have some enjoyable moments.
【Kokkiyaho】 – Joo-ha is really calling Dad well now, haha
【Allfreed】 – The broadcaster looks like honey is dripping from his eyes, haha
【Soju Flavored Hand Cream】 – If I had a daughter like that, I would probably have honey dripping too.
Surprisingly, the viewers’ reactions were quite good.
From my perspective as a dad, I always want to be with Joo-ha, but I also realize that viewers who seek fun can’t always have the same feelings, which is why I was reluctant to bring her every day at first.
However, it felt like the number of live viewers increased after I began bringing Joo-ha. Sometimes, viewers who seem to be in their 30s or 40s come and find Joo-ha adorable.
I jokingly said that it’s not just me and my wife raising her, but we are raising Joo-ha together with the viewers.
“Joo-ha is speaking a lot these days. She’s even calling her grandparents well.”
【NeighborHani】 – Oh
【Bera666】 – Then both grandmothers and grandfathers must be really happy, haha
【JeobiChuriSal】 – How did your father-in-law and mother-in-law react?
“Oh, it’s hard to describe. My mother-in-law was overjoyed when she first heard it, and my father-in-law has been carrying the video around. I visited my in-laws a few days ago, and he was watching it then too.”
【LunchFinishedStartedAgain】 – Haha, even the CEO of Changseong Group is just a grandfather in front of his granddaughter, haha
【Potato Ring】 – He surprisingly has a cute side.
【White Whale】 – It’s something I never imagined when watching him on TV, haha
Well, viewers probably haven’t actually met my father-in-law and have only seen him through TV or media.
It’s hard to believe that my father-in-law, who always feels like a cold-hearted corporate CEO, is preserving videos of his granddaughter. To be honest, I couldn’t believe it at first either.
Actually, since my father-in-law has a very subdued personality, he doesn’t show it much.
“My father-in-law is really kind. He gives me lots of life advice. Recently, he even told me, ‘As the head of the family, you don’t have to shoulder everything alone. That’s what my daughter is for.’”
【Passing App Dungi】 – Wow
【Cro-Magnon】 – Wow
【SuddenFallFlower】 – It’s not easy to say such things from the perspective of a father, right?
A hundred percent true. If I were a father, I wouldn’t easily say something like that to my son-in-law. I would probably want my daughter to have an easier time.
In that respect, I’m always grateful to my father-in-law. Even as an inadequate son-in-law, he always tries to take care of me. That’s why I think I rise to the occasion and try harder.
“Appa, Appa!”
While I was chatting with the viewers, our princess seemed to be getting a bit bored, so she started tapping my thigh with her tiny hands, eagerly calling me.
At times like this, I have a secret weapon, so I immediately scooped Joo-ha up and smiled.
“Okay, our Joo-ha. Want to sit on Daddy’s lap?”
“Yay…!”
Thump.
Joo-ha has an unusual affection for sitting on my lap, specifically on my thigh.
Our daughter, who usually doesn’t whine, shows a unique expression of dissatisfaction when she cannot sit on me during meal times.
At first, I didn’t see any hints of that behavior, but as she started to talk a little and express her feelings well, this tendency only grew.
So recently, when the three of us eat together, I place Joo-ha’s food in front of her first, let her eat, and after she’s filled up with food and hops off the table, I quickly have my meal.
Instead of scolding or admonishing Joo-ha, my wife teasingly says, “That’s Mommy’s designated seat,” making her jealousy even funnier.
【한대맞고백대때리기】 – Joo-ha really likes Daddy, haha
【아리사조아】 – Just look at her bright smile as soon as she sits on his lap, haha
【KindThought】 – I want a daughter like that too.
“Having a daughter seems really nice. Even though I’m a son, daughters are the best. You all should definitely have daughters when you get married. I highly recommend it.”
As I thrust my thumb up at the viewers, promoting the daughter advocacy project, the chat room suddenly filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
【BINGO】 – We have to ask if you’re married first…
【PositivePlease】 – We have to ask if you have a girlfriend first…
【MushroomSoup】 – We have to ask if you have a woman first…
【PinkRabbit】 – We have to ask if you like women first…
【I’m Telling The Teacher】 – ?
There seemed to be some strange comments in the middle, but I decided to completely ignore them and continue today’s marriage viral marketing.
To be honest, I didn’t think I had done much marriage promotional stuff aside from jokingly teasing the viewers to “Go get a girlfriend.” but I’ve recently admitted that there has been a lot more of such chats.
“Marriage is amazing. You get a beautiful wife, you get an adorable daughter, your wife buys you a house, sets up your workspace, holds fan meetings… Why wouldn’t you do it? I seriously don’t get it.”
【DustyJoinNow】 – Ughhh
【MultiTalentMaster】 – You’re making me sick again today…
【HouseLostFrog】 – I guarantee that this kind of marriage life doesn’t even have a 1 in 100 million chance.
【HolicCrap】 – Even 100 million is high. You might need to search the entire metaverse just for a chance.
Ugh, why is everyone giving up so early? Life is unpredictable, right?
“Appa. Woo-yu, Woo-yu.”
“Hmm? My Joo-ha wants to see Woo-yu?”
“Uh-huh!”
While I was tongue-tied in disappointment, Joo-ha grabbed my sleeve and pulled it, fervently requesting something, so I leaned in closer to hear her clearly and nodded vigorously.
I guess she wants to play with Woo-yu.
By the way, there’s a funny yet sad part here: since Joo-ha hasn’t been able to meet my sister often, she picked up saying “Woo-yu” before she could say “Aunt.”
When I first heard that, my sister was incredibly sad. She even said, “Once I’m back from Paris, I’ll play with Joo-ha every day!”
I was so baffled that I told her to stop being competitive with a cat, but then I realized I can’t say much as my wife had been jealous of a penguin.
I really had no choice but to tell her to come visit when she comes back. That’s the funny yet sad behind-the-scenes story.
“Should we ask Mommy to bring Woo-yu?”
“Woo-yu! Woo-yu!”
“Okay. Daddy will ask.”
【LegoSwallowedPigeon】 – Joo-ha and Woo-yu two-shot? I can’t resist this, haha
【Joo-haLoveTeam】 – Dear wife, bring us Woo-yu quickly…
【LemonTanghulu】 – Just imagining it gets me excited, haha.
It’s not just Joo-ha who got excited at the thought of Woo-yu coming; the viewers were also typing eagerly anticipating the cute two-shot of Little Joo-ha with cute Woo-yu.
So I decided to send a text to my wife,
“…She’s not seeing my message. Seems like my wife might have briefly gone somewhere, everyone.”
Whether she’s boiling water for tea or doing something else momentarily, the “1” sitting next to the message wouldn’t disappear at all.
If she were watching the broadcast, she would’ve brought the milk immediately, so that’s probably not it either. What is going on?
“Joo-ha, hold on. Daddy will go ask Mommy to bring the milk.”
When my wife, who usually replies within 5 minutes, didn’t respond for a long time, I felt a little anxious, so I momentarily placed Joo-ha down and was about to leave the room.
Bang, bang, bang.
“Babe! Babe!”
“…Huh?”
As soon as the door opened, I felt the ground shake as something came rushing toward me, and at the end of the hallway, my wife came running with a face full of joy, calling out for me eagerly.
What is going on? Did she win the lottery? No, my wife wouldn’t care about winning the lottery. What on earth could have made her look so happy?
“What’s the good news?”
“Yes! It’s super good news. Guess what!”
“Guess? Hmm….”
As I guided my wife into the room and tilted my head in confusion.
What good news could there possibly be? Did my brother finally get the girlfriend he had been yearning for? Nah, I don’t think my wife would be that happy about it.
【TargetingPlease】 – What is it? Tell us!
【Moscos】 – Don’t just talk among yourselves!
【AlpacaHunter】 – This is so not fair!
The viewers seemed keenly aware that it was rare to see my wife this joyfully excited, and they were all peeking in to see what was happening.
However, since I couldn’t seem to come up with a plausible answer, my wife, who was shaking her body all around, couldn’t wait any longer and took something out from behind her.
“Tada! Guess what this is?”
“Hmm? That is…?”
A stick-shaped item that was half white and half pink.
It was indeed a pregnancy test.
“…Huh?”
That in itself didn’t seem shocking, but the reason my eyes widened was that the test showed two lines in the middle.
That means, according to the test results, she’s pregnant.
“Our Joo-ha is going to have a sibling!”
“Is… is it real!? ”
【한대맞고백대때리기】 – What????????
【K-HipHopTopCosmo】 – ???????????????
【BlueRageGame】 – Already? Sis?
【CatfishWithSalmon】 – Is this legit?????
【K-HipHopTopCosmo】 – Is this the beginning of the ‘save the owner’ project, haha.
The viewers, along with me, could scarcely believe the incredible news, and after my wife kindly showed the pregnancy test to the camera, we were all busy congratulating her late.
So, just to clarify… it’s a little over a year since the first one, and already there’s going to be a second?
