“Son!!”

    “Son!!!”

    Ah… here we go again.

    If I had to pick the most difficult moment since being born in this body, it would definitely be in the top five.

    My dad’s hobby is waking up his son when he gets home from work.

    “Why again.”

    “So you confessed?”

    “No, I didn’t. I’ll sleep a little more.”

    “I gave you some advice last night. Didn’t you?”

    “I just asked. I never said I was confessing. I’ll sleep well.”

    “When are you going to do it?”

    “Son?”

    “Adul!!”

    “The most important thing is to answer and then go to sleep!”

    “Jaehoonaaa …

    “You always sleep with your son, why do you do that!”

    “Adul~!!!”

    Eventually, Dad was dragged out by Mom’s hand, and I just wanted to end this time that came every day.

    After using the Vivitan a few times, I tried blocking it with a pillow and locking the door, but it didn’t open when I turned the coin.

    So, I tried to change the handle, but my mother was against it, saying that it was dangerous if you couldn’t open it from the outside, so I failed.

    For now, I’m going to get some sleep, eat dinner later, and think about it.

    ***

    “Son~ Let’s eat~!”

    Oh my. I should be sleeping soundly, but I feel uneasy because I keep waking up because of my dad.

    I headed to the kitchen at the sound of my mother’s voice calling me, and when I sat down at the table, I saw my father’s disrespectful expression looking at me.

    “Why again? What’s the problem?”

    “Son. So when are you going to confess to Sae-ah?”

    “I don’t care what you say, so just do it.”

    “But if you start dating, you have to tell each other right?”

    It’s nonsense to tell the enemy to give information on their own.

    I picked up my spoon to eat quietly without bothering to answer, but this time my mother spoke to me.

    “Son. I heard Sae-ah is going to middle school next week?”

    “Why is that?”

    “It’s a co-ed school?”

    “But?”

    “Sae-ah is honestly so pretty, right? I bet she gets a lot of attention from boys?”

    “…..”

    What is it? Why do I feel bad? Is this what they call possessiveness?

    “But Mom.”

    “Yeah.”

    “Did you take a bribe from your mother-in-law?”

    “Huh?”

    Mom has a strangely embarrassed expression.

    “No. Originally, my mother-in-law and my new sister didn’t say much, but lately, they seem to be helping me out a lot?”

    “I just feel bad for the bird.”

    “Did your mother-in-law buy you something at the duty free shop?”

    “…..”

    Honestly, I wouldn’t have complained if my mom had done that, but I couldn’t miss this opportunity to attack her.

    “Mom has a lot of money, but she gives her son to a duty-free shop as a gift? But our family is rich?”

    “Son. It’s not the gift, it’s the heart that matters.”

    “Mind?”

    “Honestly, I’m not even dating my son yet, but even if we were, how could I not be thankful when he gives me expensive gifts?”

    “So you fell for the gift?”

    “That’s not it, son. Seeing that kind of heart. I didn’t want to admit it, but you passed as a relative.”

    “…..”

    I was speechless at my mother’s logical words, so I just quietly put my spoon in and ate my food.

    “Brother! I also passed the Sae-ah Unnie exam!”

    “Yeeun-ah.”

    “Huh?”

    “Eat. The food was delicious. And while you’re at it, don’t look at Dad, just look at Mom. You’ll be like her.”

    “Brother!!”

    “Son! What’s wrong with me!!”

    “Dad. Do you want Ye-eun to look like Mom? Do you want her to look like Dad?”

    “Mom?”

    “That’s why it’s like that. Eat lots and eat well.”

    Only after I finished each person off could I scoop up some rice with a spoon.

    Today was a particularly difficult dinner to eat.

    After eating, it’s always news time.

    I was sitting on the couch watching the news when my dad started rambling.

    “Son. Are you going to create a clan this time?”

    “What clan?”

    “There’s a clan war called In-Law Attack. It’s a clan war between family members. Can you recommend some names?”

    “Just build it roughly. Why worry about it so much? ”

    “But it’s something we do among family, so it can’t be done roughly.”

    “So that’s why everyone named their IDs like that?”

    “Why? Dad, you like your son next to me? He’s still next to me right now, right? Hahaha.”

    “Don’t go around telling jokes like that. It’s really not funny.”

    “Ahem. So anyway, give me some recommendations.”

    “Be quiet, Dad. This is good. Let’s do this, Mom.”

    “Yeah!”

    Now I could finally watch TV quietly, and my mom, who had been listening next to me, went into her room and made a clan with “Be Quiet, Dad.”

    After creating a clan like that, I was able to play a few games before I could go to sleep.

    ***

    -Knock knock knock

    “My son, Sae-ah, is here~”

    I woke up to the sound of a knock on my mom’s door. It seemed like my older sister Sae-ah had come over to visit since the weekend morning.

    -dripping

    “I’ll go in.”

    “Yeah.”

    When Sae-ah opened the door and came in, I was sitting on the bed with my legs stretched out, and tried to get up, but I couldn’t.

    A tent that I realized too late.

    He just held the blanket covering his lower body tightly with both hands in case of an emergency and looked at his older sister.

    “Jaehoon~ Did you sleep well?”

    “I slept well. Why did you come so early?”

    “I came home early because I was bored at home.”

    I carefully stepped aside, holding onto the blanket tightly, avoiding my sister Saea, who was sitting on the bed talking.

    “Huh? Why are you hurting me?”

    “Sister, sit comfortably.”

    “Really? Isn’t it hot?”

    “I usually sleep with a blanket over me.”

    “Isn’t that how it’s always been?”

    “That’s right. That’s it.”

    As we talked quietly in bed, we were able to naturally dismantle the tent, and only then could I leave the room with my sister.

    A sight I always see on weekends.

    Dad lying on the sofa, mom and Ye-eun sitting on the floor.

    If it were normal, everyone would be watching TV when I came out of the room, but today, strangely, everyone’s eyes were on me.

    “Why? Why is everyone looking at me like that?”

    “Ahem. It’s nice to see you, son, starting from the weekend.”

    “What are you talking about?”

    I don’t know why my dad, mom, and even Ye-eun are looking at me, but I’m just sitting on the empty floor trying to watch TV.

    “Son. What were you doing in your room that made you come out so late?”

    “We were just talking and then we left?”

    “Son, it comes out right away.”

    “I just had a hard time getting up today.”

    It seemed like everyone was misunderstanding something because I came out of the room late.

    But I couldn’t say that I was late because I was dismantling the tent, so I pretended not to notice and quietly focused on the TV.

    “Daughter-in-law. What did your brother-in-law do today?

    “I don’t know. You didn’t say anything?”

    “Really?”

    Dad suddenly wakes up and heads to his room.

    During this gap, everyone sitting on the floor was able to get up and sit on the sofa.

    A little later, Dad came out of the room holding his cell phone and spoke to Mom.

    “Honey, your in-laws will be here soon.”

    “Why, Sae-ah’s dad?”

    “Let’s play a game together.”

    “”…..””

    Didn’t everyone look at Dad with pity?

    After Dad finished speaking, everyone watched TV in silence.

    After some time, an old man who looked like a neighborhood uncle came to visit.

    After a brief greeting with everyone, I heard the reason why my father-in-law had come.

    “Son-in-law, is that game that fun?”

    “Everyone in my family does it. My in-laws should do it too.”

    In my eyes, it seemed like he had brought someone to tease him since there was no one in our house who could tease him the most.

    My dad turns on the computer in the living room, logs in, and kindly teaches me how to play the game.

    “That’s not it, brother-in-law.”

    “You can just carry a gun. Do you really need to move around while changing them?”

    “My brother-in-law also served in the military. It is important to secure this position first.”

    A father who lectures people by even bringing up military stories.

    While Dad was watching how he could tease his father-in-law in that state, Sae-ah’s older sister spoke to him.

    “Can I try that too?”

    “Why? Do you want to?”

    “Yeah, Jaehoon and Ye-eun are doing it too, right?”

    “Is that so?”

    “I want to try it too.”

    I wanted to see my dad and father-in-law, but I had no choice but to turn on the computer in my room and play a game.

    I started telling each of them to my older sister, Sae-ah.

    There was only one chair, so Sae-ah had to sit down and I had to tell her from behind.

    “This is the moving key, one is the gun, this time it’s the pistol.”

    Did you understand? I turned my head and looked at my older sister. It was my older sister’s face right in front of mine.

    My breath stopped for a moment at the sight of my sister’s face, which was within breathing distance, and my sister didn’t move at all.

    While we were frozen in the same state as we were facing each other.

    “Oh my!”

    I quickly stepped back at the sound coming from the door.

    Ignoring my heart pounding like crazy, I looked toward the door and saw my mother standing there holding a piece of fruit.

    “Mom, I was telling you about the game, so don’t misunderstand?”

    “Then~ The mother knows her son. But the atmosphere is strange?”

    I looked to the side and saw my older sister looking at my mom and me with a red face.

    Mom put the fruit on the desk and left the room again.

    I sat on the bed and watched my sister play the game while teaching her little by little without making the same mistakes as before.

    My older sister also played the game quietly, and without saying a word to each other, only the sound of guns being fired echoed throughout the room.

    Then, my father came in from outside, calling out to me, “Daughter-in-law.”

    “Daughter-in-law! Since daughter-in-law also plays games, I will teach her a trick. How about a game of 2 vs. 1?”

    “Me?”

    “Dad. Then, you and your older sister are a team?”

    “Right. Dad should teach the first-timers a lesson today.”

    “Then, please send an invitation to my ID.”

    “Aratsu!”

    My dad left the room and the invitation came, so I grabbed the mouse and accepted.

    “Sister. Just do what you just did. My dad is the worst at it in our house.”

    “Really? You seem to be good at it?”

    “My dad is a bit boastful.”

    Then the game started with a cardboard map.

    In the end, Dad won, but the game ended with no significant difference.

    I went out to the living room to see what my father-in-law and father-in-law would say.

    “Isn’t it worse than you thought?”

    “…..”

    “I don’t think it would have made much of a difference even if we did it one-on-one without Sae-ah?”

    My dad also realized the reality and didn’t say much.

    The endless provocations of the craftsman eventually led to a one-on-one fight, but the game ended with the father winning by a small margin.

    The master’s kill-death score is 16 kills and 18 deaths.

    My dad, who won by 2 kills against someone for the first time today, must not be talented at games.

    The game ended with virtually no winner, and we all sat down in the living room to choose our lunch menu.

    We were having a lively conversation about Jjajangmyeon and pizza, and then a question suddenly occurred to me.

    “Father-in-law, but what about your mother-in-law?”

    Everyone’s eyes were focused on the craftsman.

    “Are you at home?”

    “If Sae-ah and her father-in-law are here, will your mother-in-law eat alone? It’s the weekend? You told her you were coming, right?”

    “…..”

    The old man took his cell phone out of his pocket and went into the bathroom.
