It was a day when an ordinary day was broken.

In the teachers’ office, when the fight between the mother and the third class’s leader, Tongtong’s mother, started to get louder and seemed to be getting worse, the teachers intervened and both sides were able to calm down.

One of the teachers brought in Shin Yu-ri, the cause of the fight, to confirm the facts.

“Yuri. Can you explain what happened?”

“I was talking to my friend near the back door. Suddenly, a boy came in and asked who was the best. I said Jaehoon was the vice president. Then, when Jaehoon suddenly confronted me, I said I didn’t like him, so I attacked him from behind. But Jaehoon dodged and fell down on his own.”

“Pfft!”

A familiar laughter. It was definitely my mother.

“Our Jaehoon takes after his mom, so he dodges attacks from behind with great skill. But which son of yours would fall over and get hurt by himself without even being able to hit you when you attack from behind? Poof! I guess my son takes after his mom?”

“No…..”

Maybe she realized that this was a losing fight from the start while trying to speak. The mother of the chubby third class leader, who couldn’t continue speaking until the end.

The first time I saw my mother, she was amazing.

My father’s nagging was really nothing.

“What on earth did my son do wrong? Should my son have been hit by someone who attacked him from behind?”

“…..”

“It’s a shame that the kid who hit him got hurt because he was dull, just like his mother. I think my son handled it well enough?”

“…..”

“What were you just saying to my son? Could you please say something?”

“…..”

“Where did that kid grow up and what did he see that he would fight with a kid who was just sitting there at school?”

“…..”

“That too to a kid who is the vice-president?”

“…..”

“I guess you wanted to be number one even if it meant fighting, since you weren’t good at things like being class president or studying?”

“…..”

“But my son resembles me. He is the vice president of the class, studies well, and is good at fighting?”

“…..”

The third class’s leader, Tong-Tong’s mother, had a conscience, but her mouth was tightly shut, her face was bright red, and she looked like an evil spirit. It was really pitiful to see her just listening to her mother’s attacks as she argued with her every move.

It seemed really amazing that she just endured her mother’s nagging without getting angry.

I thought that the third class leader, Tongtongi, would be upset that he got hurt, and that he would get beaten up when he got home.

“That’s Jaehoon’s mother. Well… I think we made a mistake by not recognizing him first.”

The homeroom teacher, who had been listening from the side, must have found it difficult to watch any longer and came over to talk to my mother.

“Oh my. Somehow my son is so smart that he’s never caused any trouble until now. That can’t be. He’s been studying hard since he was five and he’s so well-mannered.”

It seemed like he couldn’t bring himself to question her because she was the homeroom teacher. In the meantime, the mother, who was notorious for her son, bragged about him.

“I’m sorry. Anyway, the last class is almost over, so I think you should go home with Jaehoon today.”

“Our Jaehoon is so smart that he won’t cause any problems, but please take good care of him.”

“Yes. I will teach Jaehoon well. I am truly sorry about what happened today. Be careful on your way home~”

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work~”

“Jaehoon. Let’s go.”

“Yeah.”

In the end, the fight between the ladies ended with the mother’s complete victory, and they left the teachers’ office.

“What about the bag?”

“It’s in the class, so just don’t bring it tomorrow.”

“Students should carry their bags. Let’s go.”

“Yeah.”

I went into the classroom that was in session, grabbed my bag, and headed home with my mom.

“Son. Are you the vice president?”

“Yeah. The girl who came to the teachers’ office earlier recommended me and I was forced to become vice president.“

“Hehehe. I thought you didn’t have any friends, you’re amazing?”

“Mom. Are you sorry for making you come to school for no reason?”

“My son didn’t do anything wrong, so what are you sorry about? It was nice to relieve stress after a long time. Hehe.”

“…..”

I was speechless at the sight of such excitement.

Maybe before summer comes all my relatives will know about today.

“Still, is it worth it to send your son to the gym?”

“Right? I told you to learn. Hehe.”

“But how did you avoid being attacked from behind?”

“Feeling like a feeling?”

“Hehehe. That’s amazing~”

“But Mom, from now on, don’t talk so harshly to other women. Even if that woman endured it, what if she explodes and gets stabbed?”

“Son? Do you think your mom would get hit by a woman, not a man? Isn’t it true that your dad is getting hit by your mom for no reason?”

“…..”

“Son, your mom will go in first with the bag, so can you bring your younger sibling?”

“Why? Aren’t you going together?”

“Hehe. Mom, talk to me on the phone at home~ Hehehe.”

“Okay.”

I was curious about who would be bragging about their son today, but I didn’t ask specifically.

I left my mom at the apartment complex and headed to the kindergarten to pick up Ye-eun.

As usual, there were many parents in front of the kindergarten, and after waiting for about 10 minutes, the pretty and cute Ye-eun came out walking slowly.

“Yeeun!”

“Brother~!”

Behind Ye-eun, who was running with a bright smile, was Min-hu, a boy I had seen last time.

“Hello!”

“Hello?”

“I confessed to Ye-eun, but I need to get permission from you, so I came to get permission!”

“Write… Don’t go back!”

“Why?”

“Ye-eun can’t date. There are a lot of other kids, so date those.”

Min-hoo cries while looking at me.

”Yeeun-ah. Let’s go!“

”Yeah!“

I left the crying child behind and headed home with Ye-eun.

”Do you want to date him?“

”No? I said no, but he kept nagging me, so I asked my brother for permission!“

”Right? I was surprised again. Good job! If anyone keeps nagging you, ask Oppa for permission. I’ll take them all down, okay? “

”Yeah!“

When I arrived home, my mother, who was there to greet me as usual, was not there.

”I’m back.“

”I’m here~“

I heard voices coming from the room and when I listened in, I realized it was someone bragging about their son.

”Yeeun, tell mom that I’ll be an hour or two late today because I’m studying at the gym.“

”Yeah!! Have a nice trip!“

I left the house and headed to the gym.

Today, when I entered the gym, I saw my positive sister lying on the ring and studying.

“Sister. I’m here~”

“You came a little early today?”

“I had some work to do. What subject are you studying?”

“You were solving math, right? It’s the hardest, after all”

“What grade are you?”

“Mock exam grade 4?”

“Are you just solving the problems using the workbook?”

“Right?”

“It’s a good idea to write down the questions you don’t know or find difficult by making an error notebook. If you just mark them separately in the book, it will take a lot of time and be difficult to organize when you study only the parts you don’t know later.”

Positive older sister studied hard on her own, but it seemed like she didn’t know how to study well.

On the first day of tutoring, I helped her study for over an hour, starting with how to study, memorizing easy-to-remember methods, and solving problems, and then exercise began.

Today, I start with running.

“Still, it’s definitely easier when someone teaches you.”

“Really? I’m glad it helped.”

“If not a dragon, then what?”

“Because you’re a genius”

Today we start learning the skills by doing running, push-ups, sit-ups, and bodyweight squats.

I practiced the jab, hook, upper, left hook, and right hook that I did yesterday, step by step.

“I learned faster than I thought. Now let’s learn weaving.”

“Weaving?”

“Look.”

“Oh.”

“Swing your fist at me.”

“You don’t know even if it’s right?”

“If it’s going to hit you, I won’t play.”

“Are you a player, sister?”

“Didn’t you say anything? Anyway, swing your fist.”

I swung my fist at my sister and she dodged it as expected.

“Oh.”

“Heh heh this is boxing! If you use your feet here, it’s kickboxing.”

“Oh.”

“You have to swing it more. What is that? Do it like you learned.”

-puck

“Are you okay?”

“I hit you because I thought you’d be discouraged if I missed even one hit.”

“Pfft!”

“Anyway, in the case of weaving, you shake your body by using the recoil of your body. You don’t just shake it when you dodge a punch, you shake it continuously. Okay?”

“Yes.”

Positive older sister whose face and ears are red from embarrassment.

“When weaving to the left, guard with your right hand. Conversely, when weaving to the right, guard with your left hand! Don’t bend your upper body too much, but think of bending your lower body. This isn’t about continuing to dodge, but rather dodge and attack. Since your posture is low, use your stomach or, if you’re sure, your upper body! ”

“Noona, you don’t have to keep explaining it to me like that. They say even monkeys fall from trees, so they can make mistakes. Phew!”

“…..”

The expression on my older sister’s face as she stood still and looked at me was the same as the expression on my mother’s face when she would sometimes tell Ye-eun to go inside when she was angry at my father.

“I’m sorry. I won’t bother you.”

“Okay, try what I told you.”

I tried to do as my older sister showed me, but something felt different and I felt very awkward.

“Is this correct?”

“How should I explain this?”

“I think I can do it, but something feels weird.”

“What? What is this? It’s not okay to come out and dance like this?”

“Is it very strange?”

“Would you like to try it once, thinking of it as a body movement and a counter-strike?”

“Like this?”

“No. That’s the balloon in front of the karaoke room.”

“Really?”

“Don’t be so tense, just relax your body.”

“Like this?”

“Oh. That’s the most correct.”

“Daughter, dad is here~!”

“Hey, Dad, are you here?”

“Ah! You’re that guy, the new registrant?”

“Hello.”

I met the director for the first time because I was later than usual due to my older sister’s tutoring.

Although his hair wasn’t shiny, he had a slim build and a body that looked solid.

“Positivity seems to have no aftertaste, unlike words?”

“…..”

“Ugh!”

“Daughter! What’s wrong with your face? Did someone hit you?”

“…..”

“Pfft!”

Today, I finished my workout after greeting the manager whom I was seeing for the first time.
