episode_0059

I took a taxi to go home.

As I sit quietly in the taxi and look outside, the words of the idiot come to mind.

Only then, little by little, did I begin to understand the circumstances of my past life.

Why didn’t we get along well with our kind and pretty Ye-eun?

And why did my mom drink alcohol that she didn’t even touch?

As a mother who thinks of her children first, she must have had a hard time seeing the many faces of the mangnat.

No matter how much I told you, you wouldn’t have listened.

I’m a mom whose hobby is bragging about my son to people around me whenever I get the chance.

It was portrayed as a situation where there was nothing to brag about and only stress was felt.

This was something that would never happen in this life. In the end, I didn’t have to do anything.

My mom always greets me with a bright smile whenever I enter the house.

When I think of my mother like that, I remember something she often said to me.

With a happy face, Mom was so happy that Jaehoon was her son.

I remember the look on my mother’s face when she said those words.

At least I took comfort in the fact that I was doing well so far.

“I’m back.”

“Did you have fun, son? What did you play with?”

Mom welcomes me brightly again today.

“Just walking and looking around?”

Suddenly, my dad opens the door and comes running from the bedroom.

“I was worried because my son didn’t come home. Where did you go?”

“I just told my mom.”

“My son doesn’t have any friends to play with, so what can he play with?”

“That’s right. You said you had fun by yourself?”

“No, that won’t work. I’ll buy a cell phone.”

“I don’t need a cell phone?”

“Dad knows that too. If my son were to hold it, it would obviously become a watch.”

“But why do you say lion?”

“Then I can tease my son about the phone not responding at all. Dad, I’m so bored these days.”

“…..”

Leaving my father behind, who was talking nonsense again today, I quietly went into my room, locked the door, and hid the remaining slush funds again.

After finishing organizing my slush funds, I changed my clothes and went out to the living room, where my mom was watching TV.

I sat next to my mom on the sofa, who was watching TV.

“What’s wrong, son?”

“No, why?”

“Why is honey dripping from my son’s eyes when he looks at his mother?”

“I was just out there alone and I missed my mom.

”

“Hehe really? It’s so strange that my son says something like that?”

“Should I buy a cell phone?”

“Why? You always stay at home? It’s obvious you’ll become a clock?”

“…..”

I brought up the idea of carrying a cell phone, but seeing the attacks coming, I guess I don’t really need a cell phone.

I saw my mom, who I wanted to see, and got up from my seat and headed back to my room.

I came into my room, turned on the computer, and sat down on the chair, wondering what I should do today to have fun.

“Brother!”

No matter how many times I told her, Ye-eun opened the door wide and came in without even knocking.

It was fine a few years ago, but it’s no longer a good idea because of the tent issue.

“Yeun-ah. When you open your door, oppa, you have to knock, right?”

“Okay. Sorry. Can you do me one favor?”

“Huh? What do you want?”

“There’s a game I want to play, but my mom says I can’t, so please get permission!”

“What game is it?”

“A shooting game called In-Law Attack!”

“Really? Then why don’t you just download it and do it?”

“You may need to verify your identity using your mobile phone.”

Why on earth do I have to authenticate with my phone?

I searched the in-law attack that Ye-eun had mentioned on the computer to find out why my mom wouldn’t allow it.

A game where multiple characters fight and kill each other with guns.

I thought I knew why my mom wouldn’t give me permission.

“Mom tells me not to do it, so why do I have to, Ye-eun?”

“Do all your school friends do it too? Kids do it too!”

Yeah. People are the problem, not the game.

Today, I went to my mom again to help our pretty Ye-eun.

“Mom.”

“Yeah, son, why?”

“What game does Ye-eun want to play?’

“No way. What kind of killing game are you going to play?”

“Payple Story is also a game about killing monsters?”

“Are those monsters and humans the same?”

I nodded my head at my mother’s reasonable words and quickly gave up.

“Yeeun, did you hear that? Mom said no?”

“Oh, Mom!! I want to do it too!!”

Why is Ye-eun throwing a tantrum to her mother?

I happened to sit next to my dad, who was watching from the sofa, and together with him, I watched Ye-eun throw a tantrum for the first time in a long while.

“No. There’s been a lot of talk about that game in the news these days. Why would you want to play that game!”

“No. The kids are all doing it and it looks like they’re having fun!”

“No!!”

“My dad and brother are shooting each other with guns too. Why!!”

“Like a game with BB guns and blood splattering?”

“That’s what I meant when I said minors don’t bleed!”

As Ye-eun threw an unusually violent tantrum, her mother began to worry.

“Why don’t you just let me do it once?”

When my father, who had been watching, also joined in, I cautiously joined in too.

“Then Mom. How about you try it first and then decide?”

“Oh~ Son! What’s going on?”

“No. Since Ye-eun wants to do it that much, her friends are doing it too.”

“Okay honey. You try it once and think about it~”

Mom, who had been thinking quietly, went into her room to install the game, wondering if she agreed with what Dad and I said.

The family gathered in the living room waited for the downtime to end, and it finally did.

The game started with the mother sitting on the computer chair as the representative.

“Daughter. Isn’t this so dizzy? Is this fun?”

“My friends said it was fun!”

My dad and I sat on the bed and watched Ye-eun and her mom.

“This is so hard. Can my daughter do it?”

“Mom can’t do it. I can do it!”

Ye-eun, who touched the pride of her mother who has a strong gamer spirit.

Mom started playing the game more focused, and if Ye-eun had expected this and said something like that, wouldn’t it have been a success?

“Wow. That’s a good game. Are real people playing it?”

Dad stares at the monitor screen, wondering why the game is so interesting.

With everyone in my family preoccupied with the game, I got up from bed and headed to my room, thinking that my mom would approve.

I turned on my computer and started downloading In-Law Attack and started downloading it on the computer in the living room as well.

And then I went back into the living room and saw the family gathered in front of the monitor, absorbed in a game.

“Mom. So, do you think Ye-eun can do it?”

“It doesn’t seem as cruel or violent as I thought? And the blood can turn white?”

“Then can I play games?”

“Um… Okay, just do it, daughter!”

“Really? Hehehe thanks mom!”

“Daughter! Can I try it too?”

“Mom, I’ll do this one more time.”

As expected, the whole family was engrossed in the game.

“Dad, I downloaded it on the living room computer. Do it there.”

“Oh! Really? Your son is also perceptive?”

Dad headed to the living room, signing up to enter the game.

“Oh! Oh, this is the right place. There’s an ID!”

Dad, who gets right into the game after getting hit and doesn’t know when he’d done it.

My mom, who gave the computer to Ye-eun, seemed to want to do more, so I told her.

“Mom, I downloaded it in my room too, so please use that.”

“Mom, you don’t have to do it?”

“Really?”

“But I’ll do it for you since your son has the sincerity you’ve earned. Hehe.”

My mom headed to my room, and after looking around at the family members who were all engrossed in games, I headed to my room too.

“Your son doesn’t do it?”

“I like to just lie down and watch what my mom does.”

“Does your son look strange sometimes?”

“What?”

“Don’t boys like this kind of thing more? What’s wrong with my family that my daughter likes this more?”

“That’s because he takes after his mother.”

“Huh. So, mom really likes her son?”

“…..”

I was momentarily unable to answer, perhaps because of the aftereffects of meeting the bastard.

After seeing my family, memories of the troublemaker that I had forgotten about came back to me again.

“Mom. Do you like alcohol?”

“Huh? Suddenly? Why alcohol?”

“Just curious?”

“Not really? I drank when I was in college. You haven’t drank since Jaehoon was born, right?”

“Really?”

“Son, are you acting a little strange today? Do you want to try drinking alcohol?”

“No. I just don’t want to see my mom drinking.”

“Why? Are you afraid Mom will get drunk?”

“That too.”

“Still, when Jaehoon becomes an adult, we should drink together~”

“Really? Then when I become an adult, we can drink together, and until then, don’t drink.”

“Why? Did you see a drunk person on your way here?”

“What is that?”

“You shouldn’t do that in broad daylight. Your son is a grown man, so he shouldn’t do that, right?”

“I don’t do that.”

After the conversation, my mom’s game started and I lay on the sofa and watched her play.

The mother becomes serious when the character gets shot and dies.

A mother who is amused when her opponent gets shot and dies.

Mom gets annoyed when her child gets hit by a bomb.

A mother who kills multiple people at once and rejoices.

What I liked best was seeing my mother happy and smiling.

After waiting for my mom for a while, I heard my dad’s voice coming in.

“Son, why are you laughing like such a pervert?”

“…..”

“Honey! What’s your ID? Let’s do it together with Ye-eun!”

Dad came closer and looked at the monitor, wondering what Mom’s ID was.

“Haha what’s your ID behind me?”

“I had nothing else to do and since I have a son, I did this!!”

“No, I praised you for making it well. Wait? I’ll add you as a friend!”

The whole family started playing a game together after Dad added Mom as a friend.

“Mom, what did Ye-eun use as her ID earlier?”

“Your family was all behind you earlier, so you said “My family is behind me”? ”

“What is that? Then what is Dad?”

“The son next to me”

“…..”

After watching my mom play games for a while, today’s game ended.

Although I wasn’t feeling well in the morning,

It was an afternoon when I felt good again after seeing my mother’s smiling face.
