episode_0188

As I was organizing all the excuses I had been thinking of for the past year and eight months, the week passed by so quickly.

The day of the final battle has finally arrived.

I gave up my daily routine and arrived in front of my parents’ house with Emil. I sighed deeply as I looked at the tightly closed door.

“Hoo.”

It’s frustrating.

Was this what it felt like when my younger brother brought Hyukjin to my parents’ house?

No, but even so, the pressure will be less than mine.

But he’s a ‘human’ with an ‘adult body type’. This one’s called a ‘shota’ or a ‘furry’.

Thinking back on it, my back hurt, so I gave a strong request to Emil, who just smiled faintly.

“If you go in, you’ll immediately change into a furry form. You absolutely must not stay in that form.”

“Why don’t you just be confident? We’re both adults anyway, so it shouldn’t matter, right?”

“You don’t want to be removed from the family register, do you? Please change it for me, okay?”

“Okay.”

Emil nodded reluctantly with a sullen expression, and I slowly walked towards the doorbell, hoping that he understood.

Kook –

Ding dong – ♪ Ding dong – ♪

I take a deep breath and press the doorbell. A clear ringing sound is heard.

Why does that familiar bell ring so frighteningly today?

As I waited anxiously, a soft yet expectant voice came from the doorbell.

[Our daughter, you’re here? Come in!]

“Yes, yes…”

That anticipation will soon turn into shock. Honestly, wouldn’t it be fortunate if you don’t faint?

Crunch! Creak…

I calm my trembling heart and turn the doorknob. The door slowly begins to open with the sound of hinges.

It was time to slowly change into a furry form. However, Emil just stood there dumbly, not moving at all, and I urgently urged him to change.

“What are you doing? Don’t change it quickly!”

“Hmm, Sister? I don’t think it would make any difference if I changed it. Two of the people inside already figured me out.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“And you even came out. Can you turn around? You’re looking at us as if you’re going to kill us.”

I quietly turned around at the words that I couldn’t understand at all, and there was my younger brother, with his golden hair fluttering and his cold eyes looking down at us.

“…Sister, you didn’t bring that little kid who smells like dog hair to be your boyfriend, did you?”

Why don’t I like the person who’s going to be my brother-in-law that much?

Seongha crossed his arms and showed his emotions openly, and Emil smiled broadly and began a war of nerves with his younger brother.

“Does the dog hair smell like it’s coming from your sister-in-law? It must smell like a wolf. Wolves are in the wolf family and foxes are in the canine family. Don’t you even know the basics?”

“Who is calling whom sister-in-law? They’re not married yet, so they’re strangers?”

“Anyway, it’s a done deal, so it doesn’t matter, right? I’m going to be your brother-in-law soon, so please call me brother-in-law.”

A tense war of nerves.

Since it seemed like they would show their claws and fight if left alone, I quickly got between the two and mediated the fight by giving the two beasts a friendly slap.

“Both of you stop. You don’t know what will happen between us after today, so why are you fighting like that? If you’re going to fight, then fight after you’re done with work.”

“What are you talking about, the person I should be most worried about right now? In my opinion, it seems like there will be no future for you after today.”

“…Shut up, you bitch. They say no parent wins over their child, and since it’s legal, they’ll probably give permission no matter what.”

“You always say I have abnormal sexual desires, but in the end, it turns out you’re the real one. A furry shotara… This is really not easy.”

“Shut up.”

When I was about to give him another slap in the face because he was annoyed by my nagging, my younger brother, as if he had used some kind of magic, disappeared like smoke right before my eyes.

And then he gave me a little boost of confidence with a cheer that didn’t sound like cheering at all.

[I won’t say anything, so do whatever you want. You probably won’t be able to swear or shout, because I brought Jin-ha.]

[I teased you, but honestly, no matter how I look at it, it seems like this is your first and last chance. I don’t like your brother-in-law, but what can I do? Your marriage is more important.]

[Tastes… Yeah, it’s hard to respect them, but I’ll respect them. My sister’s taste is one-shota stuff… I’m a little surprised.]

Can this really be called cheering?

I thought it was a high-level twist, but still, the heaviness in my heart was lifted a little, so I started walking with a much lighter heart.

“Huh, right. What more could you do than die if something goes wrong? Emil? Let’s go! We have to go get permission to marry!”

I led Emil into the house with confident steps.

“Our daughter~ Let’s see what kind of a person you brought… You’ve finally gone crazy.”

I was scolded like a dog by my mother who ran out barefoot.

Yoo Seong-ha, you piece of trash.

He said that since he was Jin-ha, he wouldn’t use harsh language or shout at people.

—–

A heavy silence fell on the house.

Emil had already turned into a furry and was kneeling in front of his mother, and I had turned into a panda and was applying ointment all over my body.

“Ugh…”

My bones didn’t seem to be broken, but my muscles were so sore that it was difficult to move my body.

How hard did you get hit? It didn’t hurt this much when you got hit with a bat while fighting with a thug in an alley.

As I was caressing the parts that my father had hit and drooling, Emil looked at me with worried eyes.

That’s why I told you to change a long time ago. Why are you being so stubborn and making me like this?

When I sent him a look full of resentment, Emil lowered his head as if he felt guilty, and I sighed inwardly and tensed my muscles.

“Did you apply it all?”

“Ah, I couldn’t apply it on the back because I couldn’t reach it. Yoo Seong-ha, apply it for me.”

“Yeah, sis.”

As my brother took the can and began to apply ointment to the bruise on my back, my mother looked back and forth between me and Emil and slowly opened her mouth.

“I’m a little, really embarrassed. The kid I brought home as my boyfriend suddenly turned into this guy.”

“I told you to listen to me. Why did you start with a fist…”

“Because it was something that would have gotten me into trouble. If you really think that’s not right, get down on your knees and apologize.”

“…”

I keep my mouth shut at my father’s words.

Well, I think if my child brought a young child over and said he was a boyfriend or girlfriend, I think he would start throwing punches right away.

What could be more shocking than a daughter you raised with all your heart coming out to you as a pedophile?

It was so true that I had nothing to say, so I decided to just listen to what my mother had to say.

I felt like it would be a loss to say anything now.

As soon as I shut my mouth like that, my mother turned her gaze to Emil and let out a deep sigh.

“Is there a curse on our family? No, the fortune teller said that all of our children will live happily ever after.”

“It’s true that living happily is the right thing to do. If you go to Seoul, you just have to go to Moro Garden, right?”

“That’s true, but… Mom just doesn’t know. Is this really true?”

My younger brother smiled and spoke to me, but my mother shook her head in confusion.

Of course it would be confusing.

I had two children, and one of them brought home a monster, calling him her husband, and the other one became a vixen and brought home my testicle friend, calling him her husband.

Isn’t it really amazing that you’re handling this so calmly?

Anyway, I wonder if he was looking at his parents with respect while they were lost in thought?

The soft nephew, perhaps not liking the heavy atmosphere, broke away from His Holiness’s embrace and began to walk briskly.

The destination is the arms of her father, who is Jin-ha’s grandfather.

My nephew walked briskly, wagging his fluffy tail, but unfortunately, he stumbled and fell just before reaching his destination.

“Ugh, ugh…”

He must have been so sad that he couldn’t arrive properly that he started to thrash around and cry.

“Waaa …

“Oh my, why is he crying again? Come on, our Jin-ha! Stop? If he keeps crying, this old man will do something to him?”

Stop.

The father looked dumbfounded for a moment as Jin-ha’s crying suddenly stopped like turning off a faucet, but soon burst into laughter and comforted her.

Thanks to Jin-ha, the friendly atmosphere continued for a long time.

The dark shadows on my father and mother’s faces gradually disappeared, and when they completely disappeared, my father gave an order to the Seonghane family to evacuate.

“Stay inside for a moment, I have something to say to you guys separately.”

“You’re not talking about violence or anything, are you?”

“The more I hit you, the more my fists will hurt. Since I couldn’t convince you with violence, I guess I’ll have to be persuaded.”

Seong-ha felt relieved at his father’s blunt but warm words and took her husband and Jin-ha into his room. When he confirmed that the house was quiet, his father gulped down cold water and quietly opened his mouth.

“It’s going to be very difficult, and there’s going to be a lot of misunderstandings.”

“It’s okay. We’ve already experienced a lot while dating.”

“Just because you experience a lot doesn’t mean your emotional wounds will disappear. Rather, they pile up and eventually create scars.”

Dad turned his gaze to Emil, showing him the scars carved into his hands.

“I ask you. Are you confident that you can properly care for that wound without leaving a scar? If you are not confident, then give up on marriage.”

As I let out a growl, Emil smiled broadly and responded sensitively.

“Don’t worry, Master. I won’t let you get hurt.”

“I hate it when people just talk nonsense, but I’ll believe it for now. But if tears fall from the Lord’s eyes.”

Grabbing Emil by the collar in an instant, his father gave him a warning that threatened to kill him.

“At that time, I won’t make you a human being, so you can look forward to it.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Emil nodded with a calm and composed expression, and when his father released his collar, he returned to his little form and came closer to me.

Then he grabbed me, who was groaning, and started shaking me from side to side, talking in an excited voice.

“So now that we have permission, all that’s left is to get married? When would be a good time to get married? Where should we get married?”

“Let me put this aside for a moment. Can’t you see that I just got hit and turned into a panda?”

“Sorry, I’m sorry…”

Only then did the boy notice the swollen panda in front of him and repeatedly apologize. Seeing this, his mother put her hand on her forehead and worried about me.

“The road ahead looks tough, Seongju.”
