[Incest] Creating a Friendly Family 166

166

Shi-woo fidgets with the key in his pocket during class.

The small, brass-colored key that Se-hee Noona handed to Shi-woo without much explanation.

It felt distinctly different from the handcuff key that Cheol-jin gave him.

Could it hold some special meaning?

Perhaps it’s an item to unlock an event tool to be used during a group blind date?

Since it’s a key, it must be for unlocking something.

But Shi-woo couldn’t immediately think of anything specific.

‘What’s this in your pocket?’

After much deliberation, Shi-woo sends a text to Se-hee Noona during break time.

‘Dunno! It’s yours now, so figure it out yourself~!’

Se-hee Noona replies curtly to Shi-woo, as if something displeased her.

It seemed Se-hee Noona had no intention of giving Shi-woo the answer easily.

-Or maybe she doesn’t know either-

**

Occasionally, Cheol-jin turns from his seat and smiles at Shi-woo.

-As always, an inscrutable, sly smile-

After what happened with Gyu-ri Ajumma yesterday, Shi-woo found it awkward to look Cheol-jin in the face.

Even though he got direct permission, Shi-woo still didn’t know how to treat a classmate who is the son of a woman he slept with.

How would he feel if his own mom was having sex with his classmate friend?

Could he still smile and treat that friend the same way, knowing that?

Even if his mom had a past and enjoyed such things, Shi-woo wouldn’t be able to tolerate his friend’s relationship with his mom.

-Plus, Gyu-ri Ajumma is a married woman with a husband-

The name Seul-gi on the marriage contract.

And Cheol-jin’s birthday being the same as Seul-gi’s.

Does Cheol-jin know about the marriage contract that their moms wrote in the past?

How does Cheol-jin feel when he treats Shi-woo?

It was Cheol-jin who first told Shi-woo about Seul-gi’s birthday.

‘If that’s the case, then at least…’

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Shi-woo felt.

**

“Did you have a good talk with my mom yesterday?”

During break, Cheol-jin approaches Shi-woo’s seat and asks nonchalantly, as usual.

“Huh? Uh… yeah, sure…”

Shi-woo avoids eye contact, feeling embarrassed to look him in the face.

“You turned off the camera, right? I wonder if anything happened? Well, it must have been fine~ Hehe.”

Cheol-jin says to Shi-woo as if there’s something he’s getting at.

Cheol-jin was looking at Shi-woo with an expression that suggested nothing mattered to him.

The conversation he had with Gyu-ri Ajumma with the camera off was something he couldn’t reveal to Cheol-jin.

Talking about getting married…

Talking about having children…

Provocative and lewd lines that Shi-woo himself couldn’t distinguish between play and reality…

Maybe Gyu-ri Ajumma thinks it’s real.

“Hey… where did you go yesterday? Didn’t you say you had something urgent to do?”

Shi-woo asks Cheol-jin, changing the subject as if he’s uncomfortable.

Cheol-jin stares at Shi-woo for a moment.

“Ah~ Thanks to you helping me out, Shi-woo, I was able to go here and there yesterday~”

Cheol-jin tells Shi-woo with an expression that seems to have a story and a swaggering tone.

“You seemed so eager to chase after Seul-gi. Did you find someone you like more than Seul-gi? You should do it moderately~ I don’t know what’s going on, but…”

Shi-woo said to Cheol-jin, keeping a slight distance.

“Ah~ that? I think I can stop doing that now~ More importantly, did you know that Seul-gi takes a break from magic academy every Wednesday?”

Cheol-jin asks Shi-woo with an air of triumph, as if he’s revealing a fact that only he knew to the world.

“Really? I didn’t know. But why do I need to know that? Why does it matter that Seul-gi rests every Wednesday?”

Shi-woo speaks as if he doesn’t like Cheol-jin’s attitude.

“Ah, well… it doesn’t matter if you don’t know~ But it’s good to know, right? Between us~ Puhihit~!”

Cheol-jin laughs unpleasantly as he speaks.

Cheol-jin always seemed to be enjoying the situation with plenty of composure.

Even knowing his mom’s past…

Even knowing that the past is continuing to the present…

Clearly, while being certain of the impact that the moms’ pasts, which have continued to the present, will have on each of their futures…

Shi-woo suppressed the urge to retort, ‘What kind of relationship do we even have?’ and watched Cheol-jin return to his seat.

“Oh, right! Are our younger siblings doing well at magic academy?”

Cheol-jin stopped as if he remembered something as he was about to return to his seat and asked Shi-woo.

Is it a question to test Shi-woo?

Shi-woo felt a momentary dizziness and broke out in a cold sweat at the words ‘our younger siblings’.

“Y-yes… they’re doing well… Why do you care about that?”

Shi-woo answers, trying his best not to show it.

“Ah, well~ It doesn’t matter if they’re doing well, but… I wonder if it’ll be okay…?”

Cheol-jin’s words trailed off, as if implying something.

“Why? What is it? What do you want to say?!”

Shi-woo asks Cheol-jin, glaring at him with a sudden sense of urgency.

To Shi-woo, Cheol-jin’s words felt like a threat or blackmail towards Se-young and Soo-ah.

It was no longer a word that Shi-woo, who had confirmed the name of the management organization written on the marriage contract, could easily dismiss.

The surge he felt when he discovered evidence of Cheol-jin stalking Se-hee Noona on his smartphone the previous day was felt in Shi-woo’s chest.

But at the same time, the guilt towards Cheol-jin and Ajussi for violating, ravaging, and possessing Gyu-ri Ajumma was also felt as if it was rising.

“The day of the parent-teacher conference at the magic academy on Monday, remember the rumors I told you about that morning?

Cheol-jin is speaking while looking at the space over Shi-woo’s shoulder, as if avoiding Shi-woo’s eyes that are glaring at him.

“What?!”

Shi-woo asks back nervously, rummaging through his memories because he doesn’t know exactly what Cheol-jin is talking about.

“Maybe one of those rumors was true… Yeah… I think that’s probably the case…!”

Cheol-jin was talking to himself as if it didn’t matter whether Shi-woo remembered or not, repeating it as if he was chewing on it.

Shi-woo was trying to recall the rumors that Cheol-jin had told him that morning with a serious expression.

“But why are you getting so angry? We went to the parent-teacher conference together, so I can ask you that much, right!? Who knows? Maybe I’ll have business there later and see you often? Puhaha!”

Cheol-jin is laughing while speaking nonchalantly, as if implying something again.

Shi-woo felt uneasy but couldn’t say anything in response to Cheol-jin’s words.

After that, Cheol-jin didn’t mention anything about the magic academy again.

“Didn’t you tie her up today?”

Shi-woo asks Cheol-jin about Gyu-ri Ajumma in passing while eating lunch in the student cafeteria.

“Ah~ My mom? We only have to do that once a week.”

Cheol-jin spoke as if there was some kind of agreement with Gyu-ri Ajumma about bondage play.

He was curious about the details, but Shi-woo also felt tired of thinking about such things and decided to stop asking any further.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Seul-gi didn’t show up until the end of the academy that day.

Shi-woo seemed to feel uncomfortable, thinking that he would be swayed if he met Seul-gi right away.

**

On the way home after the academy.

A sense of defeat and depression for some reason…

Added to that, a sense of humiliation…

Shi-woo was walking home with heavy steps.

Then, suddenly, a text message notification sound rings on Shi-woo’s smartphone.

Shi-woo takes out his smartphone and checks the sender.

It was Se-hee Noona.

‘I’m going straight to Shin-bi’s house! Eat well~! ‘

A text from Se-hee Noona saying she’s going straight to Shin-bi Noona’s house as she said in the morning.

‘Are you sleeping over?’

Shi-woo asks, just in case.

‘Yeah~ I’m just going to sleep at Shin-bi’s tonight unless something comes up, so don’t wait up!’

Se-hee Noona replies immediately.

It seemed unlikely that Se-hee Noona’s plan to sleep over at Shin-bi Noona’s house would change.

‘Can’t you just tell Shin-bi Noona to come to our house and sleep over? Mom’s not here either.’

Shi-woo was speaking to Se-hee Noona as if he was begging, feeling somehow pathetic.

‘I told you I want to rest! I can’t rest comfortably when I’m with you!’

Se-hee Noona firmly rejects Shi-woo’s suggestion.

‘Why can’t you rest? We can just come to our house and rest comfortably together!’

Shi-woo was making a pitiful sound to Se-hee Noona with his last desperate heart.

‘What are you saying? How can that happen?! I have things to talk about with Shin-bi today, so you sleep alone tonight!’

Se-hee Noona was ignoring Shi-woo’s desperate pleas to the very end.

Shi-woo doesn’t reply, feeling unfairly resentful, and walks on.

A little later, another smartphone notification sound rings.

A photo had been sent from Se-hee Noona.

A full-body photo of Shin-bi Noona wearing her school uniform.

It was a photo of Shin-bi Noona posing cutely, making a V-sign with her fingers and showing off her unique, warm eye smile.

‘Shin-bi says to tell you to meet her tomorrow and have fun with her’

A text from Se-hee Noona is added.

Shi-woo was staring blankly at Shin-bi Noona’s cute photo for a moment.

Shin-bi Noona, who is a beauty no matter how you look at her, was showing off her liveliness as a high-class academy student to the fullest on the smartphone screen.

And then another photo is sent in succession.

A photo of Shin-bi Noona’s cleavage with the buttons of her uniform undone.

A red bruise between her breasts was photographed as if it was emphasized.

Shi-woo is staring intently at the photo with a dazed feeling for a moment.

‘This is a service! Don’t be so gloomy!’

The last text from Se-hee Noona conveying Shin-bi Noona’s comment.

Shi-woo realizes that the dark kiss mark on Shin-bi Noona’s chest was made by Se-hee Noona right before she sent the photo.

As if he had never been gloomy, Shi-woo’s thing instantly shot up as if it would pierce through his pants.
