How much time has passed since I started dropping by Heena's house, and since Heena began visiting our house multiple times, holding her aunt's hand?

We ended up spending time together much more frequently and for longer periods than before we returned to the past.

On weekdays, at the daycare center.

On weekends, at one of our homes.

"Oh... I'm sorry, unnie. I said I couldn't come, but suddenly I had to leave Heena with you."

"I'm happy to see Heena, but did something happen?"

"When I told Heena she couldn't come today, she threw such a fit... She's never had a tantrum like that before..."

"Is that why her eyes are so red?"

"Yeah, that's right."

One day, both her aunt and uncle had work, so they were planning to leave Heena with her grandparents. But Heena cried so much that they ended up leaving her at our house instead.

"Sniff..."

"Why are you crying so much?"

"Because... I can't stand not seeing Yeonho..."

"It's okay. Stop crying."

"I'll stop if you pet me more."

"Alright~"

"Hehe..."

I almost blurted out, "Couldn't you go without seeing me for just one day?" but I managed to swallow those words. Instead, I gently patted my girlfriend, who would sniffle and then immediately giggle at my touch.

Seeing this, her aunt left for work with a wry smile, while my mom...

"I'll make you something delicious, so you two behave yourselves here."

"Okay!"

"Alright."

"Hehe..."

After our enthusiastic response, she let out a short laugh, patted our heads as if we were cute, and went to make us a snack.

Mom really enjoyed looking after the two of us like this. And for good reason.

With my memories back, I was well-behaved and obedient. Add to that Heena, whose very existence exuded cuteness, giggling adorably by my side.

Well, I suppose she wouldn't dislike her son even if we caused trouble, but it's always cuter when children behave well.

To be honest, from our perspective, it could have been a bit boring. We weren't doing anything special when we met; most of the time, we just sat quietly and talked.

But strangely, when I was with Heena, I never felt bored.

It was just nice. Meeting Heena again and being together like this. Even without doing anything special together, just looking at each other and smiling.

This being together, at any time, had now become our daily life.

Time flew by quickly.

Maybe it was because we were young children, but while a day felt incredibly long, time seemed to fly when I was with Heena.

We experienced many things together during that time.

We played at home, held hands and walked around the neighborhood with our parents or my brothers, and even went on a camping trip with both families.

"How is it, Heena? Isn't daddy's curry delicious?"

"Yeah! Yeonho~ Ah~"

"Ah~"

"They say there's no point in raising a daughter... She never did that for me..."

"Oh my! Are you jealous of your son-in-law~"

"Son-in-law! How can he be a son-in-law when they're just kids?"

"At this point, he's a son-in-law~ Don't you think so?"

"Hmm. I think of Heena as our daughter-in-law too."

"Oh, come on, honey..."

Even when we went camping in the mountains, nothing changed between us. Heena naturally kept her place by my side, and I too began to accept Heena's constant presence as normal.

It was the same for our families. At first, they probably thought this would last a month or two, but as it passed six months and then a year, they came to accept (?) our relationship.

"I'll watch the kids, mom!"

"Hey, me too. Move over."

"Jeongwoo oppa, go play games with Sunhoo!"

"PSP is boring."

After finishing our meal, we were sitting leisurely in the tent when Heeseong hyung hugged us both from behind. He grinned as he patted us.

As long as she wasn't separated from me, Heena didn't mind being entangled like this. Besides, both Heena and I liked Heeseong hyung. It was unexpected that Jeongwoo hyung would join this competition, though.

It was fun to watch the two elementary school students bicker over us. It was cute too.

In this way, we were able to build memories together from our childhood. Although we were still too young to take the initiative in doing things, it was good just being together.

And so, one year became two.

Then three years, four years.

Before we knew it, we were old enough to enter elementary school.

And surprisingly, we were able to enter the same elementary school. Even though we lived close by, we had previously been assigned to different schools.

Later, I overheard the adults talking about it. Apparently, while elementary school assignments are generally based on proximity to one's residence, when there are multiple schools nearby, it's possible to choose.

Of course, Heena's aunt had looked into this extensively and made requests to the elementary school. Probably for Heena's sake, who would become teary-eyed if she couldn't see me for just one day.

And so, on the day of our elementary school entrance ceremony...

"Both of you, look here~ Kimchi~"

"Kimchi!"

"Kimchi~"

*Click!*

We took a photo in front of the school gate, arms linked with Heena, smiling brightly. After taking a few more shots like that, her aunt suggested a pose with a smile.

"Should I take a photo of you two kissing~?"

"Yeah! Take one! Yeonho, look here!"

Though she said it teasingly, Heena agreed without hesitation. If Heena was okay with it, I had no objections either.

"Alright, alright."

"Son. Don't pull away right away, make it a long one. I'm going to take several, okay?"

"Hurry~"

*Smooch!*

At Heena's urging, I turned to face her, and immediately felt her lips press against mine.

*Click! Click!*

And her aunt and my mom casually took photos of it. I no longer felt uncomfortable showing this side of us to them.

Why, you ask?

Over the past few years, we've kissed countless times, and shown it to our families hundreds of times.

Now, I couldn't feel embarrassed by just a kiss. Still, I felt a bit shy as other parents and elementary school students passed by, seeing us like this.

"We're done~ You can stop kissing now..."

*Smooch! Smooch!*

"Take as long as you want~"

Her aunt tried to stop the kissing after the photoshoot but quickly changed her mind. She already knew from long experience that Heena wouldn't listen, and that I couldn't stop her.

What could I do? I had no right to refuse Heena's kisses. My lips belonged to her, after all.

Anyway, after the entrance ceremony and photo session, we all went out for a meal before returning to our house.

Then, the two of them prepared to go out again, leaving us behind. They were going shopping for various things. Originally, they planned to take us along, but Heena asked to stay, so we ended up house-sitting.

Normally, they might have worried and taken us along anyway, but we were children who had returned from the future, after all.

We had shown them how mature and adult-like we could be on several occasions, so they now fully trusted us with these small matters.

"You two can watch the house well, right? Don't open the door to strangers~ If anything happens, make sure to call us."

"Son. You're the boyfriend, so take good care of Heena."

"Okay! I'll play with Yeonho! Mother! You can count on me!"

"Alright. We'll trust our daughter-in-law and go."

"Yes!"

"Son-in-law~ Take care of our daughter~"

"Have a safe trip."

Surprisingly, even our titles had taken this form. About a year ago, when my dad jokingly told us to call them 'father' and 'mother', Heena quickly adopted it and continued to use those terms.

My parents also gladly went along with it, starting to call her daughter-in-law. Of course, her aunt laughed amusedly and called me son-in-law.

Even her uncle now... well, should I say he accepts our relationship? Or maybe he's given up? He mixes 'Yeonho' and 'son-in-law' when addressing me.

*Click!*

After cautioning us about safety a few more times, our mothers left the house, and our house-sitting began.

"Yeonho~"

"What should we do?"

"First, a kiss!"

"Hmm, let's think while kissing."

As soon as they left, Heena threw herself into my arms, and we pressed our lips together endlessly. After a while, seemingly satisfied, Heena pulled away.

At the same time, she giggled, showing a strange disappointment. That we couldn't do more than this yet.

"I wish we could become middle schoolers soon..."

"Heena. We can't do naughty things even in middle school."

"Wouldn't it be okay by then?"

"No."

Maybe because our bodies were still so young, that kind of sexual desire hadn't arisen yet. Kissing was just something we did as an expression of affection, simply because we liked each other.

"What about high school?"

"Hmm... Maybe that would be okay..."

"Then we're definitely doing it then! Promise!"

"We'll see."

"What? That's not fair!"

Heena puffed out her cheeks at my ambiguous answer. Having spent every day together for four years, talking about so many things, we no longer felt any hesitation in bringing up such topics. Though we never actually did anything before returning, even then.

Although she acted as if she was sulking, Heena's arms remained wrapped around my neck, and her eyes, facing mine, were already curved into crescents.

My girlfriend, who had become even cuter since entering elementary school. Now that her hair had grown much longer, I could start to see a bit more of her adult appearance.

"I'm glad we got to go to the same elementary school. And we're even in the same class~"

"Yeah. But what about middle school? Middle school assignments are random, aren't they?"

"Let's participate in lots of competitions. We can list preferred schools, right? If we have good scores in those competitions, wouldn't it raise our priority a bit?"

"I wonder... Well, it can't hurt to try."

"It's decided! Now, shall we kiss some more?"

"Again?"

"I always want to~ Why are you acting like this is new?"

"Well, that's true."

If I didn't stop her, Heena could spend all 24 hours of the day just kissing.

"I love you~ Smooch!"

"Mmm... Me too."

When we were in daycare.

After entering elementary school.

We spent every day together without change.

And we loved each other.

More than anyone else.

Author's Note:

Just a little... I'll write just a little more...

I barely resisted the urge to write in detail starting from the camping story. For now, I've skipped straight to elementary school. This really isn't part 3...!
