episode_0072

We all took a break together because we were all tired from coming down the mountain before we even started playing.

I think I rested for about 10 minutes.

The mothers were sitting comfortably in the pavilion, watching the show.

The rest of the group headed to the beach to play in the water.

As I was standing in front of the sea and watching the waves with my sister, my father suddenly picked me up from behind.

But my father, who was only able to lift me and not throw me because he was lacking strength, called his father-in-law.

“In-laws!!”

When my father called me, my father-in-law came running with a bright smile, picked me up, and threw me into the sea.

The moment I was caught by my father, I had already given up on running away, but when I actually fell into the sea, I felt a salty smell.

Following that, Saea-noona was thrown next to me, and Saea-noona, who had fallen into the water, hurriedly got up.

As soon as she got up, Sae-ah smiled at me, wondering if it was fun being thrown.

Sae-ah’s older sister had a pretty smiling face, but of all people, she was wearing a white T-shirt, and you could see through her clothes.

I tried to look away as if I didn’t know, but my sister realized it too late and her face turned red.

Following this, Ye-eun was also thrown in, and the fathers entered the sea and started playing in the water.

My father, who tortures me with water because he has accumulated a lot of things in me over time.

Of course, I tried to rebel, but my father-in-law and I had a lot to deal with, so I joined in on my father’s water torture.

I think it’s been over 10 minutes since I was tortured with water by my dad.

I think I’ve drunk enough seawater. I wonder how long I’ll be able to do this.

I gave up on rebelling because I thought it would only make my father happy, so I just took it like a corpse.

The fathers only stopped when the mothers, who had been watching from afar, shouted something.

I took a deep breath, wiped the moisture off my face, and spoke calmly.

“Did you have fun?”

“Son, you’re poisonous.”

“That’s because you take after your mom.”

“…..”

Even though I was dealt a terrible blow, I knew that I had to laugh at times like this so that it wouldn’t be considered defeat.

My mother approaches me as I come out of the sea smiling and head towards the pavilion.

“Son, are you okay?”

“Don’t move.”

“Oh my god, dads are really.”

“Son-in-law, are you really okay? You were really beaten up?”

“In times like this, the one who laughs is the winner. Mother-in-law.”

My mother-in-law, who heard my famous saying, looked at me as if she was dumbfounded, but she tried to pretend not to notice and sat down to eat some snacks.

In the sea, Sae-ah and Ye-eun are swimming and playing together.

The fathers were looking intently at something from the direction of the rocks, wondering what they were doing.

Then my dad came over here holding something.

“Honey! Is this a heartbeat or a bell?”

“Is it like a heartbeat?”

“Would this taste good if I boiled it and ate it?”

“Usually you just boil it and eat it?”

I sighed at the sight of the rich nobles trying to dig up something instead of just buying it.

“But, brother-in-law. Your fathers will cook that, right?”

My mother-in-law, who was on vacation, put the finishing touches on it.

“Haha. I was just asking what it was.”

“Yeah. Dad, let’s just catch some fish. Why are you even digging clams?”

“Okay. Okay, honey. Just catch some fish.”

Adding to the family, Dad throws the fish he caught into the sea and gives up cleanly.

It was a good thing my dad wasn’t stubborn.

After playing for about an hour, everyone came up to the pavilion, cleaned up, and started climbing the mountain they had come down from.

Could it be the aftereffects of being tortured by water in the sea? My body is getting tired quickly.

“Dad. Do you think you know why no one was there?”

“That’s right.”

Everyone was climbing the mountain, and the mountain path that took ten minutes to come down was now able to be climbed in 20 minutes.

After wiping off the remaining moisture with the towel in the car, I got into the car and soon arrived at the pension.

The fathers headed to the sea to catch fish, saying that it wouldn’t be hard.

The children who had gone into the water each went into the bathroom to wash up and then came out into the living room.

As I was lying on the couch in the living room, enjoying the air conditioning breeze, my new sister laid her head on my arm.

Looking around, I saw that the mothers were either washing or lying down, their hearts pounding on the pillows they were using for the first time.

After about 3 minutes, my arm started to feel numb.

After about 4 minutes, I felt like the blood wasn’t flowing to my arms.

After about five minutes, I started losing feeling in my arms.

No matter what, men have pride.

Even though my arm hurt, I couldn’t ask them to take it off, so I had no choice but to endure it. When I heard someone walking, my older sister Sae-ah got up and I was able to escape the pain.

When I look at someone, I see that my mother is my savior.

I was able to once again promise myself that I must be good to my mom.

***

I must have fallen asleep without realizing it while lying in the living room with the air conditioning on.

When I opened my eyes, the sunset was setting.

Since everyone was comfortable in the living room, Sae-ah and Ye-eun were also sleeping there.

Looking toward the sea, I saw fathers still fishing on the breakwater.

Judging from the fact that the mothers were nowhere to be seen, they seemed to be sleeping in their rooms.

I wondered if the fathers had caught a lot, so I left the pension and headed to them.

Dads who find hole-digging boring are still fishing like they used to.

Behind the fathers who didn’t even know I was there, I saw a fish tank with six fish swimming around.

“Oh! Dad, is this flounder?”

“Huh? When did your son come?”

“Just got here. Is this flounder?”

“Haha. Dad caught it! Let’s have the restaurant make spicy fish stew with this!”

“Yeah. But why is the craftsman so cruel?

Let’s say this while looking at the craftsman who is looking out at the sea with his head open.

“That’s because you don’t have any fishing skills.”

“Son-in-law! It’s just bad luck!”

It seems like he’s a bit angry because his dad dissed him again.

“Dad. If you want to eat spicy fish stew, don’t you have to tell the owner in advance?”

“Then Dad will go and come back. Son, would you like to go fishing with your in-laws?”

“Okay.”

My dad headed to the restaurant where we had lunch with a bucket of fish, and I started fishing with the fishing rod he gave me.

The craftsman spoke to me as I sat on the breakwater like I always did and placed the bait right in front of me.

“Son-in-law! We kept doing that. We only caught the little ones.”

“Really? Didn’t you catch a big one earlier?”

“We were lucky. We tried it for an hour. It was too small.”

In the meantime, as soon as I put it in, I felt a tapping sensation and shook the fishing rod slightly. Then, I felt a bite and lifted the fishing rod.

“Is it big?”

“…..”

When a sea bass that was about 20cm long was caught, the craftsman came over without saying a word and took the fish out.

“But there’s no fish tank?”

“Then what about the child?”

“Really?”

“Why don’t you give it to the restaurant and rest for a bit since you’re already here?”

“Okay. Then son-in-law.”

The craftsman must have had a hard time too. He gave the fish he caught to the restaurant and headed to the pension with his father.

When I entered the pension, everyone seemed to have woken up and was gathered in the living room.

Mothers and children asking their fathers for the results.

My father bragged with a smiling face about catching a flounder, but my father-in-law was quiet, as if he had not caught any fish.

My father-in-law looked at me with sad eyes, and I felt sorry for him, so I quietly patted him on the back.

“Son-in-law. Why can’t I get caught if I do it?”

“I’ll catch it tomorrow.”

My father-in-law, it seems like not catching it was a big deal, but he looks very heartbroken.

Then we all headed to the restaurant next door and sat down, where spicy fish stew was served along with raw fish.

“Wow. Honey, how much did you catch? This is so much?”

“Haha. I caught a lot of big ones!”

A proud father and a quiet father-in-law.

I couldn’t help but ask, wondering how much he had failed to catch to be like this.

“How many did you catch, master?”

Since it wasn’t a diss, I asked quietly so that only the craftsman could hear.

“I only caught the small ones so they aren’t here.”

My father-in-law answered in a smaller voice than mine.

When I found out why he was so upset, I quietly picked up my chopsticks and, as usual, Sae-ah, who was next to me, offered me some ssam.

“Thank you.”

Sister Sae-ah puts the ssam in her mouth with a bright smile.

The seating arrangement was bright on the left and dark on the right.

“This is so delicious because it’s wild!”

The tactless father continued to talk tactlessly while eating raw fish and spicy fish stew, while everyone else was also happily eating raw fish and spicy fish stew.

When I saw my father-in-law eating listlessly next to me, my heart ached, so I made him some ssam.

“Eat plenty, Master.”

“Thank you, son-in-law.”

“Son-in-law! Why are you giving me a new baby? Why are you giving me a new baby and wrapping my dad up?”

“You look so listless.”

“Oh my. You might not be able to catch any fish. You’re not a fisherman.”

“Yeah! You might not be able to catch any fish, but why are you doing that? Haha”

The oblivious father dissed me until the end, although it seemed like he didn’t mean to.

After finishing a delicious meal, we all went into the pension together. The fathers went to wash up and sat in the living room to rest.

The family members were tired and headed to their rooms one by one to sleep. My father, who had just washed up, also went into his room.

Just as I was about to get up to go to sleep, I felt a presence and looked to the side to see my father-in-law quietly going out.

I was sitting in the living room watching him go somewhere, and he was heading to the sea with a headlamp on and a fishing rod in his hand.

It really hurts my heart why you do that.

I quickly put on my headlamp and followed the craftsman. As I got closer, the craftsman was surprised to see me.

“Son-in-law. Why did you come out when you weren’t sleeping?”

“I just couldn’t sleep so I came.”

“Doesn’t your son-in-law go fishing?”

“I’ll just look around.”

A craftsman rigging a fishing line and casting it far away.

After watching for a while, I couldn’t see any sign of catching it, so I told him what I briefly learned today.

“Master! Wouldn’t it be better to just drill holes?”

“It’s too small.”

“If you look in a calm place, there are large rocks gathered together. Won’t big fish swim around?”

After hearing what I said, the craftsman must have thought it made sense. He reeled in the line and placed it right in front of me.

Soon after, he caught a small fish.

“Look. I told you it’s small.”

“Try it one more time. You saw what I caught earlier.”

Then he put an earthworm on it and put it in the water again, and then suddenly the fishing rod bent.

When the craftsman lifted the fishing rod, a sea bass that looked to be over 20cm long was hanging there.

The expression on the father-in-law’s face when he saw that was the brightest expression I’ve ever seen on a father-in-law.

“Hahaha. I finally got it!”

“Why don’t you just go in now?”

“Now let’s get started. What are you going to do?”

***

Two hours passed as I sat quietly watching the craftsman.

I came out because my heart was hurting, but I couldn’t sleep, and my heart was hurting even more.

However, it is not possible to leave the craftsman alone at this time.

I had no choice but to call my father-in-law, carrying the fish bucket.

“Master, please come out now~”

The craftsman saw me taking the fish bucket and only then followed me.

The salt air from the sea had washed away my skin, so I had to take another shower before I could fall asleep.

This was the hardest night of my life.
