    I had been living with my inws for a few months now. Life at Heena''s house surpassed my expectations. Initially, I thought staying with another family would be ufortable, but any minor difort faded quickly.


    Having asionally stayed over before, her parents'' efforts to make me feel at ease yed a significant role. However, their method of making mefortable was... unique.


    "Son-inw, hungry? Wait a bit, I''ll whip up something delicious."


    "Studying hard? We should feed our son-inw some nourishing food to keep him strong."


    "That''s why today''s dish is samgyetang~""...Thanks... Ha... Can''t you just call me by my name like before? Ma''am!"


    "Oh my, you called me ''mother-inw'' just finest time. Care to try again?"


    "Mother-inw!"


    "Alright, son-inw~ Double portion today, eat up~"


    "......."


    Despite my frustrated outbursts, they insisted on calling me ''son-inw'', saying I should get used to it.


    Heena, overhearing this, chimed in.


    "Why the fuss, honey? You are the son-inw."


    "Heena, please... can''t you at least use my name? I really like my name!"


    Ignoring my plea, Heena nced at her belly and said,


    "Daddy''s being silly. Right, Sarang?"


    "No, ''Sarang'' won''t answer..."


    "Sarang likes calling you ''honey'' too. Or maybe ''darling''!"


    "Ha ha..."


    It was chaotic, but my ability to speak freely made me feel like I was bing part of the family.


    I settled into Heena''s room, storing half my stuff in Heeseong''s room due to space constraints. I only brought essentials for studying and myputer.


    The bed was smaller than I was used to.


    "When we sleep, just hold me tight, okay?"


    "Won''t it be hot? What if I press your belly? Might be ufortable for Sarang."


    "It''s not that big yet, so it''s fine~"


    At bedtime, I had no choice but to hold Heena close as she wrapped her arms around my neck. We often slept like this even when living alone.


    But it didn''t end there.


    "Woo~ kiss!"


    "...Heena, again today?"


    "Yes~ I waited patiently for you to finish studying... Can''t I?"


    "It''s not that you can''t..."


    "I behaved, so reward me~ Sarang agrees!"


    "Sarang''s shield seems to have no cooldown."


    Her moist eyes made me break into a cold sweat. Heena''s already high sexual desire had intensified recently.


    The doctor approved sex after five weeks, provided we avoided strenuous positions.


    I couldn''t torment her as usual, but Heena still enjoyed it immensely.


    Though she liked being tormented, her preference was always for slow, tender lovemaking.


    The gentle, affectionate intimacy seemed particrly satisfying during her pregnancy.


    So, every night she would ask:


    "I think mother-inw noticed... Should we hold back a bit?"


    Heena''s room was rtively isted, and the apartment''s soundproofing was good.


    However, we sometimes left traces on the bedding. We usually covered it with towels.


    This morning, I couldn''t forget my mother-inw''s mysterious smile and chuckle, ''Hohohoho~.'' I knew instantly she had figured it out. I barely resisted the urge to jump off the veranda.


    I tried to dissuade Heena for this reason.


    "Kiss, kiss! Uh-huh~ Mom knew every time?"


    She peppered my cheek and neck with kisses while dropping this bombshell.


    "What? How?"


    "I sometimes tell her, and separateundry is always a giveaway. Smooch!"


    "Wait, Heena. No hickeys! She knows everything?"


    "Yes. Mom knows, of course. Dad and brother probably don''t."


    "No way..."


    I understood Heena discussing such things with my mother-inw. Being homebound, it likely helped her mental health. Despite the embarrassment, I didn''t stop her.


    But I never imagined every encounter would be noticed.


    Seven or eight times in ten days, and she knew all of it? Pretending to study,ing home for Heena, and daily sex? Is this real?


    Should I jump?


    My mind reeled. Embarrassment overwhelmed me to the point of considering leaping from the veranda, but then Heena started whining.


    "Let''s do it~ Please? I can''t take it anymore..."


    "We''re doing it almost daily."


    "I want it every day... and now you don''t need to pull out, so enjoy it too."


    "Well, that''s true, but..."


    Daily sex didn''t actually interfere with my studies. We weren''t going at it three or four times a day like before.


    To avoid straining Heena, we usually did it once, maybe twice, before sleep. It was brief, and I felt refreshed in the morning.


    But knowing my mother-inw was aware of our entire sex life left me paralyzed with shame.


    As I hesitated, Heena puffed her cheeks and guided my hand under the nket.


    She ced my hand on her butt, covering it with her own, making me squeeze.


    I felt the softness of Heena''s entire bottom. I didn''t know when she''d removed her shorts, leaving only the thin fabric of her panties.


    "Let''s do it from behind. Okay?"


    Facing Heena''s tempting, close-up expression, I had no choice but to surrender.


    Despite the embarrassment, they already knew everything. What difference would a few more times make?


    Damn, it''s still embarrassing.


    With mixed feelings, I embraced Heena. Just like yesterday, the day before, and three days ago.


    Today too.


    Life with my inws continued this way. Waking to my mother-inw''s meals, then diving into books. Comforting Heena physically at night when she whined.


    Heena wasn''t just fooling around. Unable to pause her university studies for a year, she bnced them with helping me study and focusing on prenatal education.


    In some ways, she seemed busier than me. Thankfully, she appeared very happy and joyful.


    From morning to night, despite breaks, most of my days were consumed by studying.


    I''d thought this pace might burn me out before the college entrance exam, and honestly, I still felt on the edge.


    "Yeonho~ Look! It''s prenatal music. Which song do you think Sarang will like?"


    Seeing Heena''s radiant smile, brighter than the sun, made me feel I could endure any hardship in my studies.


    Our mistake had caused trouble for everyone around us. We were receiving and would continue to receive a lot of help.


    My task was to focus on studying as much as possible and, hopefully, get into the same university as Heena.


    Of course, I needed breaks. One day, I met my friends after a long time.


    They were free during vacation. Understanding my situation, they came to my area to avoid taking up too much of my time.


    "......"


    "......"


    "......"


    "......"


    "Say something, you idiots."


    After a moment of silence, they finally spoke.


    "So, uh, hang in there."


    "If you''ve got time to drinkter, call me. It''s on me."


    Uihyun and Hyunwoo offered vague encouragement.


    "What are you, Quicksilver? Can''t keep up. A dad at twenty... you''re something else."


    "Hey, with a babying, why consider another gap year? Join our snack bar! High pay! Solid benefits, including parental leave! We''ve got a spot for you!"


    Suhwang and Yoonsung teased and joked. Jung Yoonsung always tried to recruit me. Is he still job-hopping?


    "You''re not the only one suffering; everyone around you is too. Get your act together, idiot... If you were my family, I''d have beaten you senseless."


    Suhwang scolded me harshly, but I couldn''t argue. His words rang true, and I knew he was concerned.


    "Don''t mess around. Study hard and get into Seoyeon University. Otherwise, you''re beyond help, you hopeless bastard."


    "Study hard, but if it doesn''t pan out,e to the snack bar. I''m serious about the high pay and parental leave."


    "Once the baby''s born and things settle, let''s revisit that valley. My uncle''s abroad, so it''s vacant now."


    "We''re on standby for drinks. Call if you need. We''ll get you wasted."


    "Thanks, everyone. I probably won''t see you much until the exam, but I''ll buy drinks after."


    Their methods varied, but I felt everyone''s concern and desire to help. It wasforting and I was grateful. Even Suhwang, who grumbled to the end, sent onest message as we parted.


    [Kim Suhwang: Need a tutor? I''ll ask my cousin. She''s a math whiz. Tutor fee: three days of drinking post-exam.]


    His tsundere-like concern made meugh.


    [Han Yeonho: Lol, thanks. But with Heena glued to me 24/7, can you really get your cousin to tutor? Can you handle Heena''s reaction?]


    [Kim Suhwang: fuck, sorry;;;; Forget it. Seriously. Don''t tell her. I mean it.]


    [Han Yeonho: Why fear Heena? Anyway, thanks.]


    [Kim Suhwang: You still don''t get your wife. Work hard. Holler if you need anything.]


    In the end, many people beyond my family supported me. My friends, and even the uncle from the grandmother I used to help, continued sending monthly health drinks.


    He also mentioned I should contact him anytime about joining the gym. He promised everything, from membership to personal training, would be free.


    After months of focused studying with all this support and encouragement, the day finally arrived.


    The day of my college entrance exam redemption.
