    Although I showed an embarrassing scene to these guys who came late, I managed to smooth things over and headed to the lecture hall together. However, all the way there, I couldn''t escape the sound of them grumbling beside me.

    "Some people start their day with a kiss from their pretty girlfriend, while we just slurp gukbap."

    "It''s our fault we''re like this, who else can we blame?"

    "True. Though I never imagined seeing that in the middle of a higher education institution like a university."

    "......"

    It was morning and close to the first lecture time. I thought there wouldn''t be anyone around and even checked, but they had to appear right at that moment from another path.

    "Well, with a wife as pretty as yours, who wouldn''t do that? If it were me, I''d carry her around everywhere."

    "Exactly. So why didn''t you carry her here? You''re hopeless."

    These guys would''ve made a bigger fuss if I had carried her.

    "You know we''re not saying this because we''re jealous, right?"

    "Of course~ Jealous? We''re just worried about you making out without caring about others'' opinions in the grave of life called marriage."

    My teeth grated. Stop saying you''re not jealous if you are.

    They occasionally participated in group dates and meet-ups, so it wasn''t fair to mock them for still being single. If these were my high school friends, I''d immediately provoke them with, "Are you jealous?"

    "Hey, you guys will get girlfriends soon too."

    All I could offer was a vague hope.

    But the two snorted at my words.

    "We already messed up yesterday, didn''t we?"

    "What happened yesterday?"

    "A meet-up with a women''s university. They ended it after the first round, thinking it wasn''t worth their time."

    "......"

    There was no need to boast about a failed meet-up.

    "What''s with that look? Are you pitying us?"

    "Just because you''re married now, you think we''re a joke?"

    "Wow, I didn''t see you like this before, but you''re really too much."

    "Who would''ve thought that Yeonho, known for his good looks and personality, would end up mocking his classmates?"

    "We should post this on the bulletin board."

    What could I say here?

    When we arrived at the lecture hall, I had to endure their jealous complaints for two hours. Just as my head was starting to ache from their incessant babbling, Yujin joined us.

    Even though her class was at two, she came because these guys had stirred up a frenzy in the group chat.

    [Lee Chanhyung: Breaking news!!! Yeonho''s wife is back on campus!! Seen at the university!!]

    [Shin Jaehwan: (Shocked) It’s reported that they were kissing at the fork leading to Seongrim Hall from the morning...]

    [Lee Chanhyung: Seriously, I wanted to die on the spot when I saw it.]

    [Jung Juhyuk: Couldn’t you keep that to yourselves? These bastards are spreading the misery.]

    [Shin Jaehwan: Misery loves company~]

    [Jung Juhyuk: This is insane;;]

    [Lee Yujin: Really?! You guys aren’t joking, right?! I’m coming over now!!]

    [Lee Chanhyung: ? Don’t you have a lecture in the afternoon?]

    "Yay~ Oppa, maybe... another kiss at the restaurant...?"

    "What are you talking about?"

    Yujin followed us eagerly, secretly hoping for another kiss scene. Even though the morning kiss was an accident, I wouldn''t do it on purpose for anyone to see. Heena might feel differently, though.

    Anyway, after getting the call that class had just ended, we headed straight to the student cafeteria. With these three classmates in tow. Since Heena was coming with Lia, it should be fine.

    The cafeteria was close to our engineering building, so we arrived quickly. Inside, we saw Heena and Lia already waiting for us. I also noticed the guys around them subtly glancing their way.

    Heena had become quite famous on campus, but not all students knew about her. Some still approached her, unaware she was married. Like the guy at the table behind her, seemingly debating whether to talk to her.

    Just the fact that there could be people like that was quite annoying, but on the other hand, I felt oddly proud knowing my wife was so beautiful that she received such advances.

    After all, Heena only had eyes for me.

    "Hey, honey! Over here!"

    As soon as she spotted me, Heena waved her hand and called out loudly. The word "honey" in her call made most of the eyes in the room turn toward me.

    Well, even if it wasn''t because of Heena, shouting "honey" in such a small space would naturally draw attention. Of course, the guy sitting behind Heena looked at me with a face full of despair.

    How dare he covet her?

    Ignoring those looks, I approached the table where Heena was sitting and took a seat next to her.

    "You came quickly. It''s been a while, Heena. Is it okay if my classmates join us?"

    "Of course, it''s fine~"

    "We''re just going to eat and leave anyway. You guys have another lecture in the afternoon, right?"

    "That''s true. Oh, Heena, you’ve met them before, right? This is Chanhyung, Jaehwan, and Yujin. My classmates from computer science."

    "Hello, unnie! And... are you a senior?"

    Yujin greeted Heena warmly and hesitated a bit while addressing Lia, unsure of what to call her.

    "She''s a sophomore. But Heena''s case is a bit tricky. Should we go by year?"

    "Why bother with all that? Just call me unnie~ Anyway, I won''t be around often."

    "Yes, unnie!"

    "Oh... hello."

    "Hello, senior! And hello, sister-in-law!"

    Yujin''s cheerful greeting was followed by Jaehwan''s somewhat hesitant hello, and Chanhyung bowed deeply while loudly greeting both Lia and Heena.

    When he said "sister-in-law," Heena''s face lit up with the brightest smile.

    "It''s been a while, Chanhyung, right? Please take care of me from now on."

    "No need for that, sister-in-law! Please speak comfortably!"

    "Should I?"

    "Yes! And please let me see Sarang next time! She''s so cute, just like you and hyung."

    "Hehe... Call Yeonho and come visit us sometime. Our Sarang loves people, so she''d be happy to see you."

    "Of course, I''ll definitely visit!"

    This guy knows how to socialize. He was picking the exact words Heena would like.

    Watching Heena''s reaction, Chanhyung smoothly led the conversation. Seeing him like this, he seemed like he''d do well at meet-ups, so why did he fail?

    I''ve never been to a meet-up, so I don''t know, but maybe looks do matter.

    Too bad, Chanhyung.

    Author''s Note:

    Hello everyone!!

    I want to quickly write Sarang''s childcare diary!

    I also want to insert a 19+ scene soon...
