    “You should set an example for your younger siblings like a proper older sister! Don’t think you’ll be treated like an older sister just because you’re older!”

    Mom is continuing to act, scolding Sehee sister like she’s roasting her until the very end.

    In that moment, could the words ‘like a proper older sister’ have touched a nerve with Sehee sister?

    “I know! Just go to bed early and wake up early! Did you even sleep properly last night?”

    Sehee sister, as if suddenly getting upset, was asking about Mom’s well-being during the night.

    Sehee sister’s tone was as if she was criticizing her behavior and attitude for being ‘not Mom-like’.

    “Huh?…Uh…I, I slept well…Uh, why are you asking me that?”

    Mom was stammering, seemingly momentarily flustered by Sehee sister’s question.

    Mom, seeing Sehee sister’s reaction to her nagging, is shrinking back with an awkward expression, wondering if she went a bit too far.

    “No, it’s just that Mom seemed to be up late too…I heard noises like you were exercising in the early morning…and yet you keep picking on me!”

    Sehee sister was pressing Mom, as if reminding her of the lewd sounds she heard last night.

    “U-anyway, Mom and Seyoung…woke up early…What are you talking about, after sleeping in by yourself?”

    Mom’s cheeks are slightly flushed as she retorts to Sehee sister’s words.

    “Siwoo said he’d wake me up, so I should sleep well and come down! You don’t even know!”

    Sehee sister is protesting to Mom as if she feels unfairly scolded by Mom’s pointless nagging.

    Mom listens to Sehee sister’s protest as if she feels wronged and glances at Siwoo, who is sitting directly across from her.

    “S-Siwoo…if that’s what happened…then there’s nothing I can do….”

    Mom soon hangs her head deeply and speaks in a voice that seems to be burrowing into the floor.

    “I’m going to mix the curry before Seyoung comes! Mom, you mix it too! So we can eat as soon as Seyoung comes…”

    Sehee sister was directing Mom in a slightly displeased and dissatisfied voice.

    “Uh?…Uh…Would…that be good? So we can…eat right away…”

    Mom says, picking up a spoon and mixing the curry placed in front of her.

    An awkward blush filled Mom’s face.

    Siwoo is wearing a satisfied smile at the subtle battle of wills, or more like a quarrel, between the two.

    Mom and Sehee sister are acting out a family’s morning and daily life, pretending not to know each other’s inside stories.

    In the midst of it, the strange atmosphere between Mom and Sehee sister, filled with genuinely felt emotions and tension, feels very interesting and special to Siwoo.

    The clattering sound of them mixing the curry on the dishes with rice using their spoons is awkwardly echoing and intermingling on the kitchen table.

    Mom and Sehee sister finish mixing the curry and put down their spoons almost simultaneously.

    Both of them are keeping an awkward silence with their heads down.

    As time passes, the two women’s breaths, as if excited, grow increasingly rough and fill the kitchen space.

    [Mom! Is your underwear still down below your skirt, like before? Still the same?]

    Siwoo took out his smartphone and texted Mom.

    Ding!

    The message arrival notification sound rings from Mom’s smartphone placed on the table.

    Mom was looking down, but she seemed startled and quickly reached for her smartphone, checking the message that Siwoo sent.

    Mom glances at Siwoo and Sehee sister and sighs briefly, seemingly troubled.

    [Of course it’s down. How can I pull it up? It’ll get dirty if curry gets on it…]

    Mom, keeping an eye on Sehee sister, puts the smartphone down under the table as if hiding it.

    Then, she placed the smartphone on her thigh and was responding to Siwoo’s message.

    It seems she is still sitting with her underwear halfway down her thighs, just as Seyoung left it.

    [You were just nagging Sehee until recently, but you’ve been like that the whole time? Our Mom. You’re really hopeless~? hehe]

    Siwoo texted as if teasing Mom.

    [Then what am I supposed to do? Don’t ask questions when you know the answer! I already feel so embarrassed doing this, so is it that hard to just pretend you don’t know?!]

    Mom was talking to Siwoo as if slightly annoyed.

    [No, it’s not hard, but if you’re that embarrassed, shouldn’t you just take it off? I was just wondering why you’re keeping it on~]

    Siwoo says again, playing a prank and provoking Mom.

    [You know I’m not doing this because I want to, right? What if Seyoung scolds me if I take it off without permission? And later, you’ll scold me too, asking why I took off what you bothered to put on me without permission!?]

    Mom is explaining to Siwoo as if justifying her humiliating state of dress and posture.

    It seems she herself thinks that she shouldn’t touch the humiliating state of her clothing that Siwoo or Seyoung put her in without permission.

    Literally the true form of a ‘Mom-acting slave’.

    [That’s true~ But are you going to keep doing that even after we leave? You have to go up to the second floor to change the sheets, right?]

    Siwoo continued to talk to Mom in a teasing tone, as if he was lecturing her about something.

    [That’s right! I was thinking of taking it off when you guys go to tutoring and I go up to the second floor! It’s okay to take it off then!]

    Mom says confidently to Siwoo, as if she has her own solution for the clothing situation.

    [Ah~ Is that really okay~? There was such a method~? But who gave you permission for that?]

    Siwoo sarcastically speaks about Mom’s confident attitude and tone.

    [What?]

    Mom was reacting as if immediately flustered by Siwoo’s sarcastic message.

    [No! Right now, you’re too afraid of getting scolded by us to even touch your underwear that’s been pulled down to your thighs, but why do you think it’s okay to take it off as you please when you go up to the second floor later?]

    Siwoo was pointing out the delusion that Mom is having, coldly and directly, as if hitting the nail on the head.

    [Because taking off all your clothes when going up to the second floor is now a basic rule in our house! If it conflicts with another order, you have to follow the basic rule!]

    Mom emphasizes the basic rule that Siwoo set and maintains her claim and attitude.

    Siwoo is thinking that Mom’s rigid way of thinking is so her.

    [No? Who said that? If the owner or manager orders something new, you have to follow the newly issued order even if that’s the basic rule!]

    Siwoo refuted Mom’s claim, saying that the newly issued order takes priority.

    [Then…what should Mom do? When can I take this off? Do I have to keep doing this all day?]

    Mom was asking Siwoo as if complaining, feeling very troubled.

    [Try asking Seyoung separately~ Or, you can prepare to be scolded later and put it on or take it off on your own~!]

    Siwoo was cornering Mom by presenting her with his own choices.

    Mom’s face, which is lowered, is turning red and blue.

    [If not, then you’ll just have to keep doing that all day, I guess~]

    Siwoo was talking as if mocking her situation, taunting Mom as if tormenting her.

    Mom was staring at the smartphone on her lap with her head down for a while, not knowing how to answer, and was breathing roughly.

    [But shouldn’t you take care of the curry on your butt before your underwear right now? Should I have Se-ah lick it off?]

    Siwoo is continuing to talk about the issue of dealing with the curry on her butt, as if trying to give Mom a sense of shame.

    Mom flinches momentarily with her head down.

    [You shouldn’t feed it to the dog. Things like curry…have onions and garlic in them…]

    Then, Mom carefully writes and sends a message to Siwoo.

    In this situation…

    Siwoo’s lips were slightly turning upward at Mom’s message, as if reminding him of common sense as a dog lover.

    The content was the content, but Mom’s attitude, which seemed to not care about having the dog or anyone else lick her butt as long as she could feed them the curry, felt very funny and interesting.

    Mom seemed to no longer have a strong aversion to the act of having someone lick the curry off her butt itself.

    [That’s a shame~ Should we just be satisfied with having Se-ah lick the ice cream? Then Mom, you choose! Who would you like to have lick it off instead of Se-ah?]

    Siwoo was continuing to write and send Mom questions, as if making mischievous jokes.

    [Why do you keep trying to have someone else lick it off! You can just wash it off easily with water in the shower! I was going to just wash it off right away when you guys left anyway…]

    Mom was still panting roughly with her head down, and was writing and sending Siwoo messages as if she was inwardly indignant.

    [Of course you have to have it licked off! Why wash it off with water? What a waste~? I bothered to squeeze it out and sprinkle it on the curry hehehe]

    Siwoo says to Mom, once again playfully emphasizing his semen that was sprinkled on the curry.

    Mom was making a truly troubled expression and seemed to be thinking for a moment.
