The valley we arrived at after a long run.

I got out of the car, greeted Sae-ah’s mother’s relatives, and started unpacking my luggage in the detached pension that the two families would share.

I felt a sense of unity as I watched the scene, with the men carrying the luggage and the women organizing it.

That you will be traveling often as a member now.

If someone saw us now, wouldn’t they at least know that we were relatives?

Although two completely different families met, it felt natural as if they were one family.

Sae-ah’s father, who was cool at first, has now become the same level as her father, and it seems like Mom and Sae-ah’s mother will soon become best friends.

Ye-eun and Sae-ah act like real sisters, and it makes me feel a little sad that they’ve stolen my little sister, but it’s better if they get along than if they don’t.

“Jaehoon’s mom. What is this?”

“Sae-ah, your father left you with your husband. This is a bit.”

“What’s going on?”

“It’s a gun.”

“Total?”

“My dad said he bought it and left it for me so we could do survival.”

“…..”

My mother hesitated, perhaps because she thought I was being sarcastic, but she eventually spoke.

The expression on Sae-ah’s mother’s face when she first saw her was a mixture of confusion and bewilderment, just like the expression on my mother’s face before she hit my father’s back.

As expected, Sae-ah’s mother approached her father.

-match

“Aaah, why?”

“What is that gun?”

“No, I bought it to have a survival game with the guys.”

“Is there anyone here who can survive with you!”

Mother Sae-ah, who still doesn’t understand our father.

“Jaehoon decided to do it with his dad.”

“Jaehoon with his dad? Really?”

“Yeah. I told you in advance and bought it.”

Sae-ah’s mother looks at her father as if to ask if it’s true.

“Haha. That’s right, I also really like playing with guns, right? Haha.”

My dad, who was scratching the back of his head as if embarrassed, was a real loner.

“Oh, yes. Have fun.”

Sae-ah’s mother, who was not close enough to her father to diss him, stared blankly for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and turned back to our mother.

It was a precious scene with the mother of the new baby who was so flustered that she lost consciousness for a moment and the father who was like a loner who was embarrassed.

After everyone had worked hard and finished cleaning up, everyone began to gather in the living room.

“Jaehoon’s mom. Should we eat and play? Should we play and then eat?”

“Sae-ah, your father must have had a hard time driving, so wouldn’t it be better to ask him?”

“Sae-ah, daddy! Do you want to eat and play? Do you want to play and then eat?”

“I don’t care? What about Jaehoon’s dad?”

“How about boiling some ramen in the valley while you’re out playing?”

“Haha. Jaehoon’s dad knows a thing or two.”

I think those two are a perfect match and will become best friends after this trip.

If you look at them, they look like testicle friends standing side by side preparing to go out, and they even look good together.

It would be nice if we could both change for the better. It seems to me that we’ll only learn the bad things about each other.

I have a feeling that thanks to those two people, the relationship between my mom and Sae-ah’s mom will become stronger.

Everyone started getting ready to play in the water, and I followed my dad and my son-in-law into the room to change my clothes.

“Oh, son, you’re feeling great~

”

“I’ve been working out for a few months. It should be good.”

“Hey, I heard Jaehoon does kickboxing. Looks like he works hard.”

“Haha. Since Sae-ah is working hard too, she’ll gain muscle and get better soon, right?”

“Is Saeah a girl?”

“…..”

Can women gain muscle? I don’t know.

After changing clothes and going out to the living room, the women didn’t seem to be coming out as if it would take any longer, so I started to pack food, a gas stove, and water.

As soon as I finished packing, the women came out and we all left the pension and headed to the valley.

I liked the valley because we were the only ones there, even though it was summer vacation season.

“Wow, Sae-ah’s mom. It’s so nice here.”

“That’s why we gave birth to a new child and came here for the second time.”

A valley with a valley in front and a cliff-like mountain behind.

After spreading out a mat on a flat rock and spreading out the luggage we brought, we were ready to play.

I felt bad seeing my father and my stepfather whispering to each other, so I started preparing to run away.

I saw Sa-ah’s father walking towards Sa-ah’s older sister and my father walking towards me, so I ran away.

“Where are you going!!!”

“Seriously, don’t do that!”

As I ran away and looked back, I saw that Sae-ah had already fallen into the valley and that my father had stopped running, perhaps out of breath, and was looking at me.

“Son. Can I throw my son just once?”

“No, no. Go back.”

“Isn’t that your dad’s dream?”

“Romance is the most wonderful when it is romance.”

My father, who had given up on catching me, went into the valley on his own, and I sat down on the mat.

“Isn’t your son playing?”

“In a little while? Why?”

“No, Sae-ah and Ye-eun went in too. Is that because only my son is with his moms?”

“It’s okay. I like being with my mom the most.”

“Oh my, I want Jaehoon to switch with my husband.”

“Haha, Sae-ah, your dad will be upset if he hears that.”

“It’s okay. I think Sae-ah would like it better too.”

As the story that would make Father Sae sad came and went, he sat on the mat and watched the adults and children playing, then lay back and looked up at the sky.

The clear blue sky. I wished that peaceful atmosphere without any worries or concerns could just continue.

“Jaehoon, aren’t you playing?”

Father Sae-ah approaches with a smile.

“I’m going to rest for a bit and then go play.”

“Are you sick anywhere?”

“Yes. Are you okay?”

“Haha. Okay then.”

Father Sa-ah, who lifted me up naturally.

“Hahaha son let’s go!”

My dad saw it from afar and came running right over.

“If Father Sae-ah does this, it’s a declaration of war.”

“Jaehoon, what should I do when your dad asked you to do it?”

“…..”

“Mom, can you help me, son?”

“Did you have fun, son?”

My father, who had run hard to get there, grabbed my leg and lifted my upper body to the valley, where he threw me.

“Phew. Dad, wait.”

“Haha. Son, let’s go again!”

My father repeatedly put me in the water and took me out, as if trying to get revenge for all the losses.

I tried to put a guillotine choke on my father’s head while feeling life-threatening for the first time in my body.

“Haha, son, I can’t get through.”

My dad, who fell into the water with me when I was about to get my head chopped off.

I was still small and only 130cm tall, so I had no choice but to continue to be bullied by my father.

After a few minutes of water torture, Ye-eun and Sae-ah came to me floating in a tube.

“Oppa, there are so many fish here!”

Yeah, even if I get water tortured, Ye-eun just has to smile at the fish.

I headed back to the mat, leaving behind Ye-eun and Sae-ah, who were floating on the tube and looking down at the valley below.

Moms are putting pots on gas burners, preparing to boil ramen.

“Sae-ah, Mom, if I make eight packs of ramen, how much water should I put in?”

“This is my first time boiling this much.”

Having been an orphan in my past life, I know this stuff, so I added some advice.

“You can put two cans in at 2 liters each.”

“How do you know that, son?”

“I saw it on TV.”

They were watching from the side, wondering if the pot might tip over and cause danger, so I wondered if they were mothers.

It definitely felt like they were prioritizing safety above all else.

“Son. The water is boiling now, so call everyone over?”

“Okay.”

I brought a sister who was floating on a tube and called the adults, but everyone was staring at the ramen because they were hungry.

When the ramen was fully cooked, Sae-ah’s mother served it to each person in a disposable bowl, and everyone ate it with gusto.

Ramen eaten while playing in the water was definitely delicious.

“Hey, Sae-ah, how did you cook this, Mom?”

“Just add water and boil it. How do you boil ramen?”

“Is it because Jaehoon is doing it with his mom? It’s different from what you used to do?”

“What’s different?”

“Haha. It tastes even better because I ate it while playing.”

Sae-ah’s father seemed to have changed his words after seeing Sae-ah’s mother’s expression.

It definitely feels different from my dad, but also similar.

While I was eating ramen and watermelon that I had soaked in water and resting, the topic of survival started coming up.

“Jaehoon’s dad, is it time to have a survival game?”

“Haha, that’s good. It’s perfect for getting drunk right after eating.”

I don’t know when it started, but these dads start taking guns out of boxes after eating and getting used to it.

“Jaehoon. Jaehoon, do you want to do it too?”

“I’ll do it if it’s on the opposite side from my dad.”

“Then, first, take out three safety glasses.”

Father Saea took out his safety glasses and three guns.

“Isn’t this dangerous?”

“It’s okay, Sae-ah’s mom. She looks okay as long as she wears safety glasses. I know because Jae-hoon shot my husband with a gun.”

“…..”

Sae-ah’s mother was speechless as if she had finally figured out the truth about our family.

“Daughter! Daughter won’t do it?”

“Can I do it too?”

“Is it okay if I just wear safety glasses?”

“Haha. Then our future daughter-in-law is on the same team as me?”

People were momentarily quiet at the sound of their father’s prospective daughter-in-law.

-bang

“Aaah. What’s wrong with you, son?”

“Stop talking nonsense and just put the bullets in. Father.”

So, I took out additional safety glasses and guns and my dad and Sae-ah’s older sister formed a team and Sae-ah’s father formed a team.

Dads who set the rules for how seriously they plan to take survival.

“If this gun fires in bursts, it’s unrealistic, so let’s go with single shots, right?”

“Haha, Sae-ah, your father knows how to play with guns.”

Dads change their guns to single-shot guns, just like their team’s guns.

“Don’t ever take off your safety glasses during survival, guys, got it?”

“”Yes.””

“And as the adults said, since the kids’ moms are there too, they just take off their tops, right?”

“Haha call!”

Dads started showing off their thick bellies and teams started spreading out far away from the moms.

“Jaehoon, can you do it?”

“I don’t know about Sae-ah, but I’ll take care of Dad.”

Dads are bare-faced, so it must be incredibly hot.

I felt that it was time to repay the water torture I had suffered earlier.

It was the beginning of a survival battle in the valley.
