Doesn’t everyone have things they don’t want their family to see?

for example.

When you are severely scolded by your boss.

Being ostracized by friends.

Things like embarrassing or humiliating situations.

Because they are closer to each other than other people, they don’t want to reveal it to others.

For me, it was now.

“… … I heard a rumor that people become very promiscuous when they enter the university dormitory.”

Right now, my mom was clicking her tongue while looking at me and the two women in my room.

For some reason, Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin were kneeling and looking at each other.

I am the only one who can step forward from here.

“Mom, why did you come here? Please tell me something before you come.”

“It was a surprise. My son’s room seemed to have a musty smell, so my mom sprayed some perfume to make it smell nice-.”

I quietly take out the deodorant in a clear plastic bottle from my bag.

“I bought this too… … There’s no need to spray it. Girls, look at their fresh smell. Who smells like fruit?”

If it’s a fruity scent, it’s Yuarin.

No, this isn’t important.

“Isn’t there a manager in front of the dormitory? How did you get in here?”

Actually, I want to ask the girls behind me that too.

I don’t know what the manager does, just letting kids in who aren’t even dormitory students.

“I said I was the mother of a child who lives here. I was skeptical because she was so young, but she liked it when I gave her some health drinks.”

They probably gave it to me because it was extremely expensive.

Mom, who put in the deodorant, now takes out the herbal medicine pack.

“I also bought some herbal medicine to give you, but I shouldn’t give you this. If I do something wrong, I will become a father before I go to the military.”

“Mom! Is there anything you can’t say in front of kids?!”

“What. I did everything a college student would do. You are thankful to your mom. When I was raising you, the nannies called me a general, so many girls would cry-.”

“This lady is real!”

“What is ajumma? Ajumma! Have you ever seen such a pretty and handsome lady?”

“It’s just a lady talking!”

My head is spinning.

It seems like the topic of conversation is definitely changing, but the flow feels like it stays parallel.

“Which of the two is your girlfriend?”

Slowly turn your head.

Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin’s eyes met, and they both seemed to be thinking for a moment.

“Neither.”

If I said I was dating for no reason, it was obvious that people would ask me questions.

Moreover, I was beaten after confessing.

Although Seo Ye-rin is a bit ambiguous right now.

Did you think the same thing as me?

Seo Ye-rin puffs out her cheeks and glares at me.

Now that I think about it, I decided to meet Seo Ye-rin’s mother too… … .

“Hmm? Then why are you both here?”

“I asked for some advice, so I was listening. The kid who just washed up was playing basketball, but there was no shower so I just had to rent the bathroom.”

“… … Ah?”

Then, suddenly, the mother takes out a box the size of her palm from her pocket.

It’s a condom.

“Then who brought this? When I looked, I saw it had fallen on the front door?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The moment I see a condom with its unopened packaging, I bite my lip.

Since I didn’t buy it, I’m saying that one of the two came and bought it.

“I bought it.”

But here, it was necessary to protect them both.

When he immediately snatches the condom from his mother’s hand and gets irritated, his mother covers her mouth and is startled.

“You?”

“Yes, I bought it.”

“Hmm.”

It doesn’t look like he believes it at all.

But I nodded and said I would move on for now.

He looks towards the two people and smiles kindly and gestures.

“Ah, sit comfortably. Although they are very shabby, they are Woojin’s friends anyway.”

“Ah, yes.”

“Thank you.”

Two people sitting comfortably.

Mom immediately asks Seo Ye-rin with her eyes shining brightly.

“What is your name? What is your relationship with our Woojin?”

“Hello, mother. My name is Seo Ye-rin. I think Woojin and I are close to being lovers.”

“Oh my!”

Mom immediately tapped my shoulder and made a fuss.

“This pretty girl is my daughter-in-law? I can be an actor!”

As if the response was good, Seo Ye-rin puffed out her breasts and smiled gracefully.

I wondered if she was the girl who had been crying to me just now and whining about losing her sex seat.

“I’m actually an aspiring actor. I signed a contract with YS Entertainment last winter.”

“YS? Oh, so it’s Mincheol’s company?”

Mincheol Jeong.

This is the CEO of YS.

“Wait. I made a phone call-!”

The mother was about to take out her phone, but Seo Ye-rin jumped up and grabbed her mother’s hand.

“No, mother. it’s okay. I want to succeed with my abilities, and I am confident.”

What is it, boy?

Who are you.

Where is Seo Ye-rin having sex? It’s awkward because Seo Ye-rin is bright and smiling.

I know it was this image to those around me, but seeing it in person was embarrassing.

“Wow, look at how confident you are. Good, good. Then who is the woman next to you?”

Yoo Ah-rin, who also woke up, scratches her head because it feels awkward.

“Hi, my name is Yoo Ah-rin. I’m with Kim Woojin-.”

Yoo Ah-rin glances at me.

I was hesitating, probably because I knew it would be difficult to define something between us.

“This is also a candidate for daughter-in-law.”

Mom seems to have noticed something and clicks her tongue while crossing her arms.

“I gave birth to a child very well. Look at you being torn between these precious and pretty girls. He’s my son, but he’s unlucky.”

“… … .”

“I like both. So let’s stop fighting and decide for ourselves?”

Then mom goes towards the refrigerator.

“Do you have anything to eat? Don’t you order and eat delivery food every day?”

“I’m eating well.”

“Hmm? What is this again?”

At that time, my mother discovered the lunch box.

Choi Yi-seo left it behind, but he tilts his head and opens it without hesitation.

“Letter.”

Give me the post-it note inside.

– Fighting study (੭•̀ᴗ•̀)੭

It appears that Choi Yi-seo added it.

As I watched it and was moved, my mother suddenly picked up a spoon and took a bite of the pilaf inside.

And then.

“Passed. Which of these two is this?”

Immediately, he hits the lunch box with his spoon and approaches the two people.

“Who made this? My son loves rice just like his dad, so I made it just to suit his taste.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

They both keep their mouths shut.

We looked at each other to see if it was you who made it, but of course there was no answer.

“Hmm?”

Mom must have felt a strange current flowing through her and turned to look at me again.

“Who gave you this?”

“That… … Another kid.”

Silence for a moment.

Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin seem to have realized that the person who made that pilaf was Choi I-seo.

Mom looked blankly at me and the two back and forth and then asked again.

“Is she a girl too?”

Then, would you have received it from a man?

“Ugh.”

When I answered while scratching my cheek, my mom immediately took out her cell phone and made a call.

Before the phone rang even once, I received a call from the other side.

“Yes, Driver Yoon? Could you please pull up a thick branch nearby and bring it to me? Something that can be used as a whip.”

“… … .”

“Yes, yes. Please?”

Pop.

The moment I hung up the phone, my mom immediately spoke to the two of us.

“I’m sorry, but from now on, it’s family time, so could you please leave?”

“Today was a very meaningful time, Mother. I would like to meet you next time for a better opportunity.”

“… … Well, don’t hit me too hard.”

Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin left as if running away.

“No matter what, I’m in my 20s and I’m not old enough to be beaten by my mom.”

I confidently squared my shoulders and answered, and my mother chuckled.

“Your younger brother was caned by his mother until he was twenty-five.”

… … This is my first time hearing that.

* * *

I never thought I would actually get hit in the calf.

My mother sighed as she applied an ice pack to my red, swollen leg.

“It’s my fault. It’s my fault for giving birth to such a wonderful child. So the kids get upset.”

“… … .”

“The kids were really nice. The girl who becomes an actor is pretty and smart. It feels like seeing me when I was young.”

What is he saying now.

“I haven’t even said a few words to the yellow-haired kid. Just by looking at him, he shows a lot of affection. Even as I was leaving, I saw you worried.”

“Ha, he hits me the most.”

“That’s all affection. It’s similar to when mom held a whip.”

I hit him first to let them know that I confessed to the three of them.

My mouth never left my mouth.

“You know.”

smart.

At that time, a knock was heard outside the door.

“Woojin, it’s Iseo.”

It was Choi Yi-seo.

“I made tea earlier, but I forgot. To give and go.”

“Is he a lunch box?”

Mom, who glanced at me, tried to run away at any moment, so I grabbed her shoulder and stopped her.

“I’ll go out.”

But despite my resistance, my mother had already gone to the front door and was opening it.

“… … Hello?”

Choi Yi-seo is embarrassed.

Nevertheless, after saying hello, I check the number on the front door.

“This is correct.”

“Hello, I’m Woojin’s mom.”

“… … !”

Choi Yi-seo, surprised, immediately lowers her head.

“Hello! My name is Choi Yi-seo, who is in the same class as Woo-jin!”

“Thank you for your concern, Woojin. Did you make the pilaf yourself? I took a bite and it was delicious.”

“Oh, really? Thank you.”

As if the time spent talking with the professors was not going anywhere, Choi Yi-seo smoothly continued the conversation with her mother.

“Then, please get along well with our Woojin in the future. Please do me a favor?”

“Yes, of course.”

After the conversation.

After coming inside, my mother sighs as she hands me the thermos that Choi Yi-seo brought.

“Anyway, just like my dad, I’m good at seeing people. How come all the girls are so pretty and true? It might be difficult to choose.”

“… … Right?”

“Mom, I don’t know, so do it yourself. Don’t bring tears to the eyes of other families’ precious children for no reason.”

Keep your mouth shut.

There was something I wanted to say, though.

“Of course.”

I swallow hard and steel my resolve.
