“Oppa, how is it? Does it taste okay?”
“Mmm~ Delicious~ Did you go to the supermarket?”
“There you go again. Stop joking~”
“I’m serious, it’s delicious! You’ve been preparing side dishes since dawn for Yuna’s visit. Honey, you know our eldest would eat anything, even Burari’s feed.”
“Th-that’s true, but…”
It seemed like a heartwarming conversation between a married couple, but there was an ironic undertone of comparing their daughter to an animal.
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of bubbling gamjatang. Suyeon, still looking like she was in her 20s despite being in her 30s, and Han Yubang, who was starting to understand the concept of “conjugal duties,” stood side by side.
Yubang’s friends and old classmates often joked, “You’re truly living up to your name, with such a virtuous wife!” (Yubang’s name can be interpreted as “virtuous room/wife.”)
When his wife was still in her 20s, she was shy, and their intimate life wasn’t very active. He was the one who often initiated. But things changed after she turned 30.
She’d become less inhibited, gazing at him with desire-filled eyes. He felt a thrill whenever eel, oysters, or chives appeared on the dinner table.
“…So, Oppa, are you okay before Yuna arrives? You’ll have to hold back for a while once she’s here.”
“…”
What did their beastly daughter’s arrival have to do with their intimate life?
He felt a cold sweat as his wife gazed at him, his groin tingling.
If this conversation continued, he knew he’d end up being ravished on the bed again. He had to change the subject.
He enjoyed it, but his wife had started working out and had more stamina. She was starting to take the lead, which wasn’t bad, but being drained four times in a row felt like his soul was being sucked out.
“Ahem! Ahem! By the way, honey, have you seen this? It’s pretty popular these days.”
“Oh? What is it?”
To escape the endless night of passion, he pulled out his phone and showed her a recent YouTube video.
He skipped the introduction and other participants…and went straight to the main event.
“Wow, they do this kind of thing on the streets these days? Interesting… Wait. Huh? Oppa?”
“…It’s what you think it is.”
The video, with over 5 million views, was trending.
It featured their proud and lovely daughter, the internet’s “Punching Girl,” who’d finally made it big.
Their beastly daughter, wearing only a thin coat in the middle of winter, punched the machine with such force…
‘She used to break tractors when she was little.’
Their daughter hadn’t changed a bit, even on the mainland.
Wow, it was still amazing, no matter how many times he watched it. Did the machine really shake that much?
But that wasn’t the end of it.
When the bulky, muscular guy refused to accept his defeat, she took off her coat, revealing her sports bra, and easily won an arm-wrestling match.
Some comments claimed it was fake, but the dented table proved it was genuine superhuman strength.
Their troublesome daughter…she was working out there too.
Her back muscles…wow, she even had abs?
‘Both mother and daughter are into fitness…’
Were they a family of Amazons?
He hoped their second child wouldn’t turn into a beast like her older sister and mother.
“What do you think? Our daughter seems to be doing well on the mainland, right?”
“…Yeah, I’m a bit relieved. I was worried. In elementary school, she had no friends besides Jeong-woo and Yuri…and she was always busy working instead of playing with other kids.”
“That’s why our daughter is rich now.”
“…That’s true.”
Honestly, when he saw the news about Bitcoin reaching 10 million won, the first thing that came to mind was his daughter, rampaging on the mainland.
That sneaky girl…he’d even given her his game accounts, but she didn’t even give him a hint about buying Bitcoin.
He should have forced her, threatened her, made her tell him to invest all his spare money in Bitcoin.
‘…No.’
He corrected himself. If he’d done that, he wouldn’t be in one piece.
With her strength, she could probably fold him in half.
She looked delicate and fragile, but she was probably lifting hundreds of kilograms at the gym.
“Oh, right, Oppa. I saw Supermarket Grandpa looking upset yesterday… Did something happen? He hasn’t been feeling well lately.”
“…Ah.”
What happened?
Hmm…
‘Something did happen.’
“Something to celebrate.”
“?? You said he looked upset? He was taking out a hoe, a wooden plank, and a harpoon from the storage room…”
“It’s a trial every man faces.”
“???”
It was a trial, made more hardcore by his daughter, but it was a trial for that unknown man, not for him.
* “Haha, my granddaughter finally brought home a potential husband. Hey, sharpen that harpoon a bit more.”
* “Oh, really? Wow, are you going fishing to celebrate your future son-in-law? I’m so jealous.”
* “What are you talking about? I’m going to catch that son-in-law. He dared to call our Hercules…a gorilla? He treated her like an animal?”
* “???”
* “I’m going to break his limbs the moment I see him. How dare he call a girl a gorilla? He should have called her a gorani. At least that’s cute.”
‘No, she *is* a gorilla.’
He agreed with the elder’s assessment of the unknown “son-in-law,” soon-to-be-corpse, but he couldn’t say anything with the man holding a wooden plank.
He couldn’t speak his mind in the face of such a weapon.
“…Should I prepare condolence money in advance?”
“W-who died? What are you talking about, Oppa?”
It wasn’t certain yet, but he thought it was best to be prepared.
He figured Suyeon wouldn’t be thinking about their intimate life after this…
“Seriously, stop talking nonsense. You go shower first, Oppa. I’ll put the kids to bed.”
“…”
…Damn it.
Did you know that residents of Ulleung County only paid 7,000 won for the ferry to Ulleungdo, while everyone else paid 70,000 to 80,000 won?
Who needed first class? It was just a three-hour ride. He could sit or sleep. It wasn’t worth the extra money.
First class just meant a slightly reclining seat and a footrest. It wasn’t worth an extra 5,000 won.
“Phew~ The smell of the sea! Ah~ It’s so nice!”
“It is. It’s been two years for me… It hasn’t changed much.”
“That’s right. You always said you were too busy working to come with me! Do you know how upset Grandpa was?”
“Ugh! Th-that’s why I’m here now!”
Well, that was true.
Grandpa would be thrilled.
Grandma seemed happy about Yerin Unnie’s visit, but Supermarket Grandpa was ecstatic.
…Was he happy? He’d jumped up and rushed to the storage room, full of energy.
“Sigh, where should we go now? My back is stiff from sitting for so long.”
Yerin Unnie and I stretched after getting off the ferry, empty-handed. Mr. Yong-chul, the star of this Ulleungdo trip, was struggling with three backpacks and three suitcases.
Half of that was my luggage… I didn’t ask him to be my pack mule.
He wanted to show off in front of Yerin Unnie, acting all strong and dependable.
‘He looks more like a hired hand than a manly man right now.’
“Now we just have to run to Tonggumi.”
“???”
“Yuna? What are you…”
“Huh? It’s only a 30-minute run.”
For me, at least.
I knew my running speed was on a different level, but I said it as a joke, to lighten the mood. Yerin Unnie and Mr. Yong-chul looked at me in disbelief.
Seriously, were they disappointed? Did they think I was seriously suggesting we run all the way home?
I wasn’t alone; we were all here together. I couldn’t subject them to such an extreme homecoming.
“Dad is picking us up at 2:00… It’s almost 2:00. He should be here soon.”
“Oh, really? I haven’t seen him in a while.”
“…What should I call him? Since he’s Yerin’s dad, should I call him ‘father’?”
“Whatever you’re comfortable with~”
If he called Dad “father,” he’d probably burst out laughing and say something like, “Me? Father? Are you marrying our daughter instead of Yerin?”
‘Wow, that would be hilarious.’
I’d pretend to be embarrassed, and I wondered what kind of face Mr. Yong-chul would make.
I’d make him sit between Yerin Unnie and me in the car, so he couldn’t escape.
A teacher visiting his girlfriend’s family, only to be mistaken for his student’s lover.
I’d have to tell the other teachers when school started. Hehe.
