“Okay… you guys have fun too… let’s go together next time or something…”

Shiwoo was absentmindedly saying goodbye to his friends and watching them walk away.

He was replaying Cheoljin’s words in his head, seemingly pondering for a moment, then took out his smartphone and opened a chat window with Gyuri.

[Are you doing well, Gyuri?]

Shiwoo carefully typed a message that seemed to ask after her well-being in the chat input window.

He politely wrote a message that he could send to a friend’s mother or a mother’s friend on a daily basis, but soon the message felt very awkward.

Shiwoo’s fingers hovered over the smartphone screen, and he eventually began to modify the sentence to Gyuri little by little.

[Gyuri, are you doing well?]

Shiwoo reads the short message he has revised several times until the awkwardness disappears.

As he begins to feel a little more comfortable…

Finally, Shiwoo presses the ‘Send’ button and sends the message he wrote in informal language to Gyuri into the chat window.

The number next to the sent message disappears in an instant before long.

The moment the small number that was 1 disappeared, Shiwoo’s heart was pounding for no reason.

Shiwoo keeps staring at the screen, waiting for a reply from Gyuri.

After a few seconds, a reply came from Gyuri.

[Yeah~ are you doing well? Is your body okay? Why haven’t you contacted me? I thought you had forgotten me~]

Gyuri called Shiwoo “honey” and replied to Shiwoo as if she was very happy to hear from him.

It felt as if her warm smile and welcoming voice could be felt intact in the text.

He has been converted to a public slave, is doing such things naked in a cafe, but he couldn’t say that he was doing well…

Shiwoo hesitated for a moment, then sent a reply as if he had made up his mind.

[I haven’t forgotten you, I’ve just been a little busy lately, but I’ve been thinking about you! ]

[And I was putting it off because I was worried about how to talk to you… it would be a disaster if I sent it when there was someone else around!]

Shiwoo carefully reminds her of the reason why he hasn’t contacted her and his position on his ambiguous affair with Gyuri.

Shiwoo is holding his smartphone and continuing to look at it, expecting a reply from Gyuri soon.

[I see~ you don’t have to worry so much~ you don’t have to worry about that person at all! From now on, feel free to contact me often~! I’ve only been thinking about you since that day~]

Gyuri sends Shiwoo a message that sounds like a tender whisper.

The fact that his mother’s friend and his friend’s mother, who is over 20 years older than him, is expressing such tender feelings to him felt somehow subtly awkward yet exciting.

Shiwoo feels a little relieved after sending the message.

He feels like the relationship with Gyuri, which had felt ambiguous, is becoming clear again.

[But shouldn’t you have contacted me first? I was worried about your husband, but you didn’t have to be?]

[Why didn’t you contact me first all this time? Is your heart completely distant from me, unlike what you said? Are you having an affair with another man?]

Shiwoo, now seemingly more confident, was now teasingly grilling Gyuri about why she hadn’t contacted him.

[No! I really wanted to contact you a lot~! But what can I do, I’m also conscious of your mother. Besides, I’m not family, so I can’t interfere in the owner’s life without permission…]

Gyuri sends a message that sounds like an urgent yet coquettish confession as an excuse.

Gyuri seemed to be quite conscious of her mother’s feelings about having a deep affair with Shiwoo.

And was what she said at the end something written in the rules of the group?

[Okay, I’ll believe you! But now you don’t have to worry too much about Sunmi. I think I’ll be able to talk to Sunmi about it.]

Shiwoo mentions his mother informally, seemingly hinting at the changed relationship with her.

[Don’t worry about the other thing I just said, and contact me whenever you want to! I’m going to do that from now on too!]

Shiwoo goes on to say, as if giving permission, for Gyuri to contact him first.

And he added, as if vowing, that he would do the same.

While accepting Gyuri’s urgent excuses, it felt as if they were newly declaring a relationship between the two of them that was outside of the existing rules…

[Yes… I’ll do as you say…]

Gyuri seemed to be pondering for a moment, then left a message of affirmation to Shiwoo in polite language.

The title has also changed from “honey” to “you,” which seems to refer to her husband.

[I’ll go see you soon! I have to return the item I borrowed last week…]

Shiwoo is not directly mentioning the vibrator, but is vaguely expressing it as ‘the item I borrowed.’

[Okay, I’ll look forward to it. Honestly, I can’t stop thinking about you since that day]

Gyuri replies, mixing polite and informal language, as if she understands the vaguely expressed item.

Shiwoo looked as if he was thinking about something for a moment after seeing Gyuri’s reply.

Then, Shiwoo carefully writes a message as if he is about to reveal something to Gyuri.

[Gyuri! There is a group chat room with all of our family members, including Sunmi and Seonju? I’m going to invite you to it now, so don’t be too surprised!]

Shiwoo informs Gyuri in advance that he is inviting her to the group chat room, sending a message that seems to show consideration so that she will not be embarrassed.

After writing the message, Shiwoo pressed the back button to exit the chat screen with Gyuri.

Then, he opened the family group chat room where all the family members, including Aunt Seonju and Sua, were gathered.

Shiwoo invites Gyuri, who was just having a separate conversation in a 1:1 chat room, to the group chat room.

A notification message that Gyuri has joined the conversation was posted in the family chat room.

[?]

She throws a question mark into the group chat room, as if she is bewildered.

The number next to the question mark decreases and then disappears.

Everyone gathered in the group chat room has confirmed that Gyuri has entered.

[Oh my~ is Gyuri now part of our family too?]

[Well~ listening to what they’re saying, it wouldn’t have been strange if she had been already~! Besides, she was caught by our master, so she must have gotten a proper massage before coming in? ㅋㅋㅋ]

Aunt Seonju is the first to greet Gyuri with a playful joke.

[Welcome~! Gyuri~ Welcome, and please take good care of us in the future~!]

Then, she immediately writes and sends a message that seems to welcome the new participant.

[Seonju, you bitch! Who told you to talk like you know me here without my permission?]

Shiwoo immediately speaks to Aunt Seonju in a harsh and firm tone, as if scolding her.

[Heeing~ I’m sorry, Master~ Seeing Gyuri reminded me of the old days and I was so happy that I…]

Aunt Seonju is showing a playful apology while showing affection to Shiwoo.

[Gyuri will be with us from now on, so everyone should know that!]

[If you have any complaints or disagreements, don’t say anything to Gyuri separately, talk to me!]

Shiwoo speaks to the family members gathered in the group room with a strong tone, as if firmly setting the matter.

The number next to the message Shiwoo posted disappeared immediately.

The family members seemed to be stopping what they were doing and focusing on the situation unfolding in the group room.

[Sunmi?]

Shiwoo calls his mother’s name openly.

[…Yeah?]

His mother pauses for a moment before answering, as if reluctantly…

[You’re not going to say anything to Gyuri later, are you? If you have anything to say, say it here now! Don’t say something different later!]

Shiwoo speaks to his mother as if giving her a warning with a strict and firm attitude.

[What can I say now… Gyuri, it’s all your fault! To a boy who could be your son… sigh~!]

His mother spits out a mix of complaining words and sighs in text, as if knowing that it is no use saying anything more with Shiwoo’s stern and firm attitude.

Her sigh seemed to contain a lament for her own situation.

[Okay! Seyoung and Sua, you have to greet Gyuri too!]

Shiwoo then speaks to Seyoung and Sua as well.

[Please take good care of me, Gyuri~ Hehe~ I was wondering when you would come~ Our cute Gyuri~]

Seyoung smiles brightly and acknowledges Gyuri.

She is doing it in a very friendly and informal way…

[Hello… Gyuri…]

Sua shyly greets Gyuri, following Seyoung…

[Sehee, you’re watching too, right? Sehee, you greet Gyuri too]

Shiwoo also spoke to his older sister Sehee.

[Welcome~ Gyuri, please take good care of me in the future]

As expected, his older sister Sehee also greeted Gyuri with a welcome, following Shiwoo’s orders.
