Chapter Index

    The next morning.

    “Ouch, it hurts.”

    As soon as I opened my eyes, my legs and upper body muscles started screaming in pain. And no wonder.

    – Last night, 8 p.m., Fitness Center

    “Ah, it seems like your mom fed you well again over the weekend, Yeongsoo.”

    Teacher Yeongsoo said, rubbing his forehead as if he had a headache.

    “Haha. Yeongsoo, it’s just that… I couldn’t resist the atmosphere…”

    I made excuses, sweating profusely.

    “Well, it’s okay. It’s all within control. You can recover.”

    “Oh, I see. Teacher, you really have everything planned out.”

    As I exclaimed, he gave me a wicked smile and asked me a question.

    “Have you ever heard the saying that with great calories comes great responsibility? It’s a famous line.”

    “Well, it’s actually with great power comes great responsibility…”

    “That’s right! Since you consumed a lot of calories, you should take on great responsibility!”

    And then, the rampaging Yeongsoo started rolling me around like a madman.

    “Help, save me!”

    I had to follow Yeongsoo’s routine of twisting my upper body as if squeezing out everything I ate over the weekend… no, it was always me who ended up being twisted.

    And back to the present.

    I quickly prepared a simple American breakfast and changed clothes. Then I started tying my hair.

    “Oh, this is impossible. Dayoung~!”

    The muscle pain was so severe that I couldn’t raise my hands above my shoulders, so I had to ask for Dayoung’s help to tie my hair.

    “Ugh, who told you to perm it like that? What a hassle.”

    “If I knew it would be this hard, I wouldn’t have done it!”

    Didn’t comedian Park Geoseong say something like that? It’s really too late to think it’s too late.

    Oh, his words were right. He’s a sage!

    “He said that beer and chicken consumed at dawn have zero calories, right?”

    Anyway, our daughter has something to break.

    But she still helped me dry my hair and comb it, even though I felt sorry for her.

    “Thanks, daughter.”

    “It’s okay, why are you making a big deal out of this.”

    “But I have one more favor to ask…”

    “What is it?”

    “Could you help me with putting on my clothes too?”

    “Pfft, you’re not a kid anymore… Fine.”

    Dayoung readily helped me with putting on my clothes.

    First, I took off my clothes and tried to change my underwear.

    “Dayoung, could you step out for a moment?”

    “Why? What’s so embarrassing? We always shower together after exercising.”

    “There’s something called privacy. It was fine at the gym, but now… Anyway, it’s a bit embarrassing for me, even though I’m not a patient you’re taking care of.”

    “You worry about the little things. Anyway, change and call me back.”

    After successfully pushing Dayoung out of the dressing room, I quickly changed my panties and called her back.

    I couldn’t put on the bra by myself, so I had no choice but to ask for her help.

    “Stand next to me.”

    – Snap!

    Dayoung put my arms through the bra straps.

    “Slowly stretch your arms out.”

    As I slowly stretched my arms to avoid shocking my muscles, the bra gradually moved closer to my chest.

    Once my arms were fully extended and the bra was in place, Dayoung went behind me and fastened the hook.

    Then she adjusted the shoulder straps, brushed off any wrinkles from my back, and pushed forward from the back to the front. As her hand slid down to the lower part of the bra, I couldn’t help but shiver and let out a small moan unknowingly.

    “Ah!”

    I must have found it amusing because suddenly her hand slipped inside the bra cup.

    – Squeeze!

    “Eek!”

    – Squirming

    “Wow… I thought they were big just by looking at them, but they’re really big when you touch them….”

    “Heh, hey! Stop that!”

    I quickly stepped a few feet forward to escape Dayoung’s grasp.

    “Hehe, ahh. I never understood why my friends enjoy touching my chest all the time, but now I get it.”

    “Haah, haah. Dayoung, you! Why would you play such a prank like that!”

    I shouted, trying to catch my breath from the shock.

    “So what. It’s not like touching a chest will wear it out. Can’t I receive a little compensation for helping out?”

    “Pervert!”

    “Hehehe. Let me touch a little more. Okay?”

    With a sinister grin on his face, Dayoung extended his wiggling fingers towards me, taking a step closer. I dodged his grasp and ran towards the living room, escaping through the door. My muscles ached with every movement, but getting away from that grasp was my priority.

    *Creak!*

    Opening the door, I came face to face with Davin, who was doing the dishes.

    Startled by the sudden noise of the door opening, Davin turned his head towards me, his eyes meeting mine.

    A moment of silence. His eyes seemed unsure where to look, shaking heavily. Then, his gaze fixed somewhere. He must be looking at my appearance.

    “Uh, Mom! What’s going on all of a sudden!”

    “Oh, um! That… I can do the dishes… you should get ready for school.”

    “Oh, that. Um… yeah. Um….”

    Like a broken recorder, Davin repeated “Um…” and “That…” and “Yes.” I quietly took a step back, closed the door, and turned around to glare at Dayoung with a fierce expression.

    “Mom, I was just trying to play a prank….”

    “You really… come here!”

    “Gah!”

    And so, a noisy morning filled with scolding began, and after a long lecture, I finally managed to finish getting ready for work and left the house.

    On the way to work, in the car.

    I informed Dayoung and Davin that I had decided to carpool with a subordinate to drop them off at school every morning at 8 am.

    “A man?”

    “Yeah, a man.”

    “Hmm.”

    “Why, what now?”

    “Oh, nothing.”

    Although her expression said otherwise, she didn’t say anything more, probably feeling guilty for her actions since morning.

    “Is he from the same department?”

    “Yeah, he’s a subordinate who joined right before Mom took a leave of absence. He lives near Nuna’s school and doesn’t have a car, so I felt bad for him taking public transportation every morning. Since I have to drop Nuna off anyway, our schedules match perfectly.”

    “Hmm….”

    “Ugh, you guys treat me like you’re putting your mom on the market, it hurts my pride as a parent, you know?”

    “Oh, no. It’s not like that, just….”

    “Fine. It’s Mom’s decision, so I’ll handle it.”

    “Phew… okay.”

    A while later, we arrived at Hanseong High School and I dropped off Dayoung.

    “Have a good day.”

    “Oh, I’ll get off in a bit. I need to see that person’s face first.”

    “Stop with the unnecessary talk. Get off already! What are you going to do by looking at his face? Are you going for an interview? You guys are overreacting too much about this.”

    All the men around me are treated like wolves.

    From the author Lee Young-woo, to Cheolsu, to Kim Taehyun. Oh, Cheolsu is okay. He deserves it for his actions.

    Anyway, I never had any intention of getting involved with a man, so why are they making a bigger deal out of it?

    “Ugh, annoying.”

    “Sigh! Stop sulking and go to school to study.”

    Dayoung got off the car, muttering as he walked away.

    “Tsk, have a good day. Oh, by the way, did you buy your school uniform?”

    “You ask so quickly. I’m wearing it right now!”

    The voice was full of irritation, even if it was just a slight annoyance. Anyway, it was what it was.

    “You’re still holding onto the card well. Got it?”

    “Hmph, whether you have a good trip or not, it’s up to you.”

    And then Da-young entered the school gate. I sighed deeply as I watched her back.

    -Knock knock

    I turned to the sound of tapping on the window and saw Kim Tae-hyun outside the passenger seat window.

    I quickly rolled down the window and said to him, “Get in!”

    “Okay!”

    -Click

    The passenger door opened, and neatly dressed Kim Tae-hyun got into the car.

    “Good morning, Manager.”

    “Oh, good morning. Did you get in well yesterday?”

    “Haha, are you asking if I got in well after dropping me off right in front of my house? It seems like a question I should be asking instead.”

    “Haha, I got in well. Well… I got a bit tired after going to exercise. Oh, by the way, the one sitting in the back is our son. He’s in 9th grade, and his name is Jung Da-bin.”

    Feeling a bit awkward with just the two of us talking, I introduced Da-bin, who was sitting in the back seat, to Kim Tae-hyun.

    “Hello, Da-bin. I’m the Manager… I mean, I’m Kim Tae-hyun, your father’s subordinate. Nice to meet you. Haha.”

    As expected, with his good social skills, Kim Tae-hyun greeted first with a friendly attitude.

    “Uh, hello.”

    However, our Da-bin seemed a bit shy, unable to adapt to the greeting.

    “Oh, it seems like your son takes after you, Manager. He’s quite handsome. He must be popular with the girls.”

    “Haha, are you saying that?”

    “Haha, what can I say. I haven’t done anything.”

    “Tsk, I heard something from Manager Kwon. Anyway, let’s talk on the way.”

    Feeling a bit delayed due to the morning incident with Da-young, I stepped on the accelerator and started the car.
