Chapter Index

    “… … .”

    I had a conversation with CEO Jeong Min-cheol once. Unfortunately, the food was all cold.

    The CEO got up first and left, saying that the meal was good, and the rest of us.

    My mother didn’t even think about picking up the silverware and just looked down at the steak blankly and muttered quietly.

    “… … I never imagined something like this.”

    Of course.

    Who could imagine?

    I gathered all my strength and told my mother right away.

    “Mother, it is true that being a boyfriend could be harmful to Yerin in many ways in the future.”

    Being an actor.

    Because being loved by so many people came with a lot of responsibility.

    “But that is usually the case.”

    “… … .”

    “I am different, mother. For Yerin to achieve her dream, even if it is something other than being an actress. I am confident that I will always be Yerin’s wings.”

    When I confidently held Seo Ye-rin’s hand tightly and spoke, Seo Ye-rin looked at me with moist eyes, perhaps strangely moved.

    gulp.

    I swallowed my saliva and watched my mother’s reaction.

    This event even summoned the CEO of YS Entertainment.

    I was showing off the best I could as a student, and if you weren’t satisfied with this, there was nothing I could do about it.

    Even if it’s a fait accompli-.

    “The two are… … How did you meet?”

    My mother sighed and smiled faintly.

    I guess it worked for me to show my sincerity this far.

    A lighter atmosphere.

    “We were in the same department, but we met through the university community.”

    When I saw Seo Ye-rin urgently pinching her thigh under the table, it seemed like she was telling me not to talk about it.

    of course.

    Mother, my daughter is very famous for having sex with Bamboo Forest.

    Would you please take a look at the shitty posts Yerin has made over the past six months? I can’t say something like I went through a really hard time deleting things.

    “At first, we just knew each other anonymously, but later, by chance, we confirmed that we were each other. I think I had a crush on him from then on.”

    “It’s unique. I guess it’s because they’re young.”

    But he looked relieved.

    Rather, you seem to be mistaken that I didn’t date a woman named Seo Ye-rin because of her looks, but that I liked her because of her personality that I felt through her writing.

    “Because they are still young. I won’t bring up anything heavy. Instead, please don’t give Yerin too much preferential treatment. If you don’t have your own effort or talent, it’s natural to be left behind.”

    “I can put you on stage, but I won’t force you to applaud.”

    Because I knew what my mother was worried about, I answered right away without hesitation.

    Because of me, YS paid close attention to Seo Ye-rin, but if our relationship turns out to be different, all of that will disappear like bubbles.

    Her mother seemed to want Seo Ye-rin to secure a certain level of standing through her own abilities.

    “… … It’s good.”

    My mother smiled slightly, as if she was surprised that she immediately understood what she meant.

    The atmosphere wasn’t too bad.

    We continued eating.

    The food was a little cold, so I tried to ask her to reheat it, but my mother said it was okay and just ate it.

    Seo Ye-rin also gave me a thumbs up and praised me for doing a good job.

    On the way home after finishing the meal.

    My mother seemed to be in a good mood after drinking wine in the cool breeze and walked lightly.

    “If possible, please do not ask people to stay out overnight.”

    “… … Is it possible?”

    When I added and asked carefully, my mother glanced at Seo Ye-rin.

    “Yes, if possible. Maybe once or twice.”

    “Oh, oh oh?!”

    Seo Ye-rin smiled and crossed her arms, saying, “I didn’t know that the ban on staying out overnight would be lifted right away.”

    “But you have to keep the line clear. Do you know?”

    “Yes, I know. Even if you can’t keep it, you don’t have to worry.”

    “… … .”

    “Because I will take responsibility for everything.”

    My mother looked blankly at my firm answer and then laughed.

    “Yes, I thought about it last time, but Mr. Woojin is so-.”

    He hesitated a little, then nodded slightly and continued speaking.

    “He’s a good guy.”

    “Thank you!”

    It even received recognition.

    Isn’t he the highest praise among all praise for being a good man?

    At my mother’s praise, I unconsciously shrugged my shoulders and raised the corners of my mouth.

    When he saw it, he said it was cute and smiled again.

    On the way back home.

    After seeing off my mother and Seo Ye-rin, I arrived in front of the house.

    He said there was no need to go that far, but I went along anyway.

    “Good night, Mr. Woojin.”

    “Ujina, thank you for today!”

    The two people enter inside with bright smiles.

    I took a deep breath and told my mother.

    “Mother, is it okay if I say one more thing?”

    “Yes? Please tell me anything.”

    If so, I should tell you quickly.

    “Actually, there are two other women I have to take responsibility for other than Yerin.”

    “… … Yes?”

    * * *

    Now, the sports competition is coming soon to Gahyundai University. The blurry border between spring and summer.

    Sports competitions starting in mid-April were already making people tired.

    Today, Yiseo Choi gathered the second year English majors to draw up a list of players for each sport.

    It comes with a threatening warning that people who can’t come will enter any category at random, so don’t hold any grudges.

    As I sat down, Yoo Ah-rin and Seo Ye-rin came into the classroom with their friends.

    “… … Why is your face like that?”

    When Yoo Ah-rin saw my face, she was startled and asked, and Seo Ye-rin immediately sat down next to me and hit me on the head.

    “This idiot said something weird to my mom and got slapped hard in the face.”

    “Cheek? Mother?”

    When Yoo Ah-rin sat down and asked what was happening, Seo Ye-rin briefly explained what happened last night.

    “Wow, this is really big.”

    Yoo Ah-rin looked at me and sighed, saying she was dumbfounded.

    “It’s crazy to even say that to us, but did you tell their mother about it? Want to straddle three legs?”

    “But… … It’s better to know in advance than to know later.”

    As I grumbled, Seo Ye-rin patted my head again and got irritated.

    “Thank you, do you know how upset mom was yesterday? Why do you like a kid like that? Break up immediately. There was just a lot of anger and chaos.”

    “I guess so. of course. Think with common sense. Which of the three are you going to register with?”

    “… … Wouldn’t it be okay to go to a deserted island or something and just live together?”

    “Wow, how can I like this guy? Still, look at how big the scale of a chaebol is.”

    Yoo Ah-rin grumbled, saying it was absurd. Then he takes out ointment and a bandage from his bag.

    “Bring your cheek. If you go around like that, you’ll end up talking more.”

    “What are you imitating Choi Yi-seo?”

    “Do you want to fall behind? Since I play basketball these days, I take it with me.”

    After putting ointment and a bandage on her cheek, Yoo Ah-rin slapped me.

    Even though it hurt because I got hit again, I’m glad it’s over for now.

    “Anyway, because of Woojin, I absolutely obeyed my mother for a while. The curfew was also reduced by one hour.”

    “… … I’m sorry.”

    “It’s not clear yet, so why did you bother to bring up the story about Lee Seo and Arin? Huh?!”

    Seo Ye-rin also started hitting her side with her fist, as if she was getting angry while talking.

    “Not yet! I haven’t even chosen Lee Seo and Arin yet! And we can just keep that to ourselves!”

    “Do you think it’s a bit shitty? Is progress already progressing with Seo Ye-rin?”

    In the end, there was a lot of strife on both sides, but when Choi Yi-seo came in, both silenced.

    Wow!

    No, Seo Ye-rin was pinching her thighs under the desk, as if she was not yet fully irritated.

    “Ah, phaa.”

    Even though she was moaning in pain, she didn’t look at Seo Ye-rin.

    In the end, I had no choice but to shut up and accept Seo Ye-rin’s resentment.

    * * *

    “Why is your face like that?”

    “Just… … It’s the price of responsibility.”

    Part-time job came in today too.

    The boss wasn’t sure what he meant by my answer, but he told me to work hard and then left work.

    I decided to work later than usual today, but they said I would be paid a lot of extra pay, so I agreed to let them know right away.

    There weren’t a lot of customers anyway, so I just had to kill time by using my phone.

    – Choi Yi-seo: So you got slapped?

    Besides, I was chatting separately with Choi Yi-seo, so there was no major problem.

    For reference, I was blocked by Seo Ye-rin.

    Probably my mother did it.

    – Kim Woojin: Yes… … .

    – Choi Yi-seo: Should I praise this for being honest or criticize it for being stupid?

    – Kim Woo-jin: People say that Yoo Ah-rin and Seo Ye-rin are stupid.

    – Choi Yi-seo: That’s right. I think that’s true too. I’m glad you did what you did.

    Tsk.

    It can’t be helped.

    – Kim Woo-jin: If I try hard, won’t they still allow it?

    – Choi Yi-seo: I didn’t give permission, but Yerin’s mother gave permission.

    That’s it again.

    – Kim Woo-jin: I’m bored, Lee Seo-ya.

    – Choi Yi-seo: Looking at the way you talk, it looks like you have nothing to say.

    – Kim Woo-jin: … … .

    – Choi Yi-seo: I’m working. Just work hard.

    – Choi Yi-seo: (photo)

    After saying that, Choi Yi-seo sent a selfie of herself wearing blue pajamas.

    I also take a picture and send it to you right away.

    – Kim Woo-jin: (photo)

    – Choi Yi-seo: What is it? Why did you send this?

    Oh, shit.

    I sent a funny picture by mistake.

    – Kim Woo-jin: (photo).

    – Kim Woo-jin: I was trying to send a selfie. Sent incorrectly.

    – Choi Yi-seo: ㅗ

    Since there was no reply from Choi Yi-seo, I decided to do something else.

    I leave work at 9pm, but today I work 2 more hours and leave at 11pm.

    Before we knew it, it was past 10 o’clock and now it was 11 o’clock.

    Several guests came and bought expensive items to see them off as they finished preparing to have a hot night tonight.

    The door opened again and a customer came in along with the cold wind.

    “Come on-.”

    Life in the world.

    Isn’t there something called bloodlines?

    I inherited my father’s blood, but I am selfish and greedy. Since I also inherited my mother’s blood, there are times when it feels a little strange.

    Like that.

    It suddenly occurred to me that Seo Ye-rin might be like that too.

    What I mean is,

    “… … Mother?”

    Let’s call the mother who came to the adult toy store.

    My mother made eye contact with me and took a step back, startled.

    ‘ah.’

    Seo Ye-rin’s tendencies seem to come through her blood.
