One day after the wedding.

I had a dream.

A lucid dream where I was fully aware it was a dream. Strangely, I seemed to be watching myself from a third-person perspective.

Not my current self, but me around age twenty.

It was both fascinating and unnerving, but knowing it was a dream helped me stay calm.

And my dream self seemed... happy. Just like back then, I was laughing and joking around with friends, never missing a chance to socialize.

The odd thing was, the lab coat I wore wasn't from Seoyeon University. Though it was blurry, I could tell it was from a different school.

Since I'd never worn one like that in real life, I wondered if my dream self had gone to that university instead.

As that time passed, both fleeting yet endless, the scene changed. Heena was sitting across from me. While it was natural for her to be by my side, there was an awkwardness between us.

That struck me as strange, but I couldn't ask why.

Anyway, Heena and I were having drinks together, and then the scene shifted to us enjoying a date. In this part, it was painfully obvious how much I adored Heena. It showed in my every action and gesture.

Anyone watching would've said without a doubt, "That guy is head over heels for that girl!" But in contrast, Heena seemed friendly yet somewhat distant.

How should I describe it? It was like our early relationship, but with our roles reversed.

"Heena! You even carry around a handkerchief?"

"I bought one after we started dating. To spread out on benches like this. Pretty gentlemanly, right?"

"Ooh, Han Yeonho~ That was a bit cringy!"

"My girlfriend's asking for a smack on the head..."

It was similar yet different from when we were dating. Dream Heena was an incredibly friendly girlfriend, while I was the boyfriend desperate to do anything for her.

Though it felt odd, I found myself nodding. This was undoubtedly me. If Heena and I had gotten to know each other slowly before dating, I would've definitely acted like this.

Anyway, watching Heena and me date was heartwarming. Even if it feels weird saying that myself. The surroundings were familiar too - the bustling area where Heena and I often went on dates.

And so we continued our date.

Sometimes studying or working on assignments together.

"You're doing better than I expected."

"Um, could you please close your eyes for a bit?"

"Sorry, but your desperate expression is amusing."

"Wow... I'm truly happy! To be a man who can entertain his girlfriend just with his face!"

"Keep up the good work."

When the mood was right, we even kissed. Though Heena seemed quite playful throughout.

Watching made me feel warm inside. Like viewing a video full of cherished memories.

And once again, I was certain. This wasn't some other version of me. It was just me. It was how we would've been if we'd met and started dating under different circumstances.

Thanks to that, I watched our cute and innocent dates with an even more relaxed heart. I wanted to keep watching for as long as possible.

I wanted to, but...

Just like with us now, when our couple seemed destined for nothing but happiness.

Misfortune struck in an instant.

With Heena's traffic accident.

---

Tears fell. Even though I knew it was a dream, I cried endlessly imagining how much pain Heena must have been in.

And thinking about how she'd wait outside for a long time because of me, unable to contact her.

Thinking about how Heena would cry again because of me, just when she'd finally started smiling brightly.

Finally.

Finally, we could dream of a future together, but now, I wouldn't be able to share it with her.

The tears kept flowing.

---

After the accident, everything went dark for a moment.

Like when I first realized it was a dream, I was looking down from above.

I saw Heena, crying herself to sleep, waking up only to cry again. Spending her days with lifeless eyes.

I wanted to comfort her. I wanted to shout that I was here, so please don't cry, but I couldn't make a sound.

And then.

In her room.

As Heena's weakened body and spirit finally began to falter.

As if by magic.

Time started rewinding rapidly. Like a tangled thread being unraveled back to the beginning.

My accident.

Heena's rehabilitation.

Heena's accident.

Our innocent dates.

Our first meeting.

And even further back, past my university entrance.

My high school self came into view.

As always, I was playing basketball with friends whenever we had free time, and dozing off during late night self-study sessions.

At the end of one such fun yet monotonous day, on my way home.

On that road.

There was a beautiful girl student waiting for me, her smile blooming like a flower.

That girl looked at me intently with trembling eyes, as if overcome with emotion.

Then she opened her small mouth and spoke.

Those words that would change my entire life.

"Will you go out with me?"

---

"......"

I opened my eyes. I could feel tears running down my cheeks.

I'd had a long dream. Vague yet firmly lodged in a corner of my memory, a lengthy dream.

I lifted my head slightly and looked around. I was sitting on the sofa, and I could recall dozing off for a moment, leaning my tired body against it.

Checking the time, I realized less than 5 minutes had passed since I'd closed my eyes. It really had been just a brief moment.

Our beloved Sarang and Somang were sitting on the floor in front of me, drawing pictures together, and I could faintly hear Heena humming in the kitchen.

I quickly wiped my eyes with my sleeve before anyone could see. I couldn't understand what kind of dream I'd just had.

As I sat there slightly confused, Heena slowly approached from the kitchen.

"Huh? Honey, your eyes are red. Were you crying?"

"Crying? Why would I be crying?"

"Your eyes look a bit swollen too..."

"I told you, I wasn't. More importantly, Heena."

"Yes?"

I couldn't continue. I didn't know how to start such a foolish story. It seemed too heavy to pass off as an amusing tale.

So as I sat there, unable to continue, Heena tilted her head and gave me a gentle smile.

Seeing that, I realized it didn't matter. My wife was right here beside me.

Heena, who was my girlfriend in the dream, had become my wife and was always here, devoted to me.

Just as my devotion had opened Heena's heart, my girlfriend had created our present with endless devotion and love.

So all we needed to do was be together.

The happy life we couldn't achieve then, like this.

"I think you've gotten even prettier than when we first met."

"Oh my, what's this all of a sudden... How much prettier?"

"This much?"

"Hehehe, but I'm getting older now..."

"You just keep getting prettier, so what does that matter?"

"Really? As long as I'm pretty to you, that's all that matters!"

"You're the prettiest in the world. Truly."

"And you're the most handsome in the world!"

Yes. This was enough. These beautiful smiles we showed each other were all we needed.

"Ah! Mom and Dad are at it again! Hug me too!"

"Somang wants to sit on Daddy's lap too."

"Today it's Mommy's turn first. You two keep drawing, okay~"

"But I was supposed to go first earlier! Mom!"

"Dad..."

"Somang, it's no fair when you're using aegyo again! Stop it!"

"Oh geez."

Our family was never quiet, but I was happy just being together. Especially seeing Heena's bright smile.

I love you, Heena.

Starting from that sad past, until now, and in the future too.

I loved you, and I'll keep loving you.

I'll make you smile forever.

For a lifetime, I'll be by your side.

- The End -

Author's Note:

This concludes the side story. Before my afterthoughts, I'll mention that I plan to write a few more pieces.

To be honest, the side story felt more like part 2 than a side story... So I need to write a REAL side story...

I'm planning an after story and an IF story.

The after story will show the family when Sarang or Somang are in high school, or other ideas that come to mind.

The IF story will be something like Yeonho suddenly becoming younger for a day while they were living together at twenty.

This time I'm planning to keep it really short. Not dozens of chapters again...

And I'm also open to requests from readers about content you wanted to see in "My Girlfriend is Very Good to Me". If there's anything you wish had been included, or slightly fantastical IF story suggestions, I'll take them!

But I absolutely won't write anything that deviates from the original story. For example, Yeonho and Heena meeting other people instead of each other. I'll never write that. If you request something like that, you'll be blocked immediately!

Thank you so much for loving "My Girlfriend is Very Good to Me" all this time!!

I love you! I love you so much, thank you!!
