8. improvement!

As soon as Kyung-hee finished tidying up, she stretched out.

According to his explanation, he had used up all his shiumium.

The battery of love or something, joking around and coming into my arms, so I had no choice but to hug him.

I couldn’t help it because it was so cute.

Right now, right now, I’m proud of myself and smiling triumphantly.

“But, Siwoo.”

“yes?”

“Did you have this many friends before?”

“why?”

“No, just curious. I often talked about myself, but you didn’t.”

“That’s true, but…”

“No way, seeing that you don’t talk… do you have a girlfriend?”

Kyunghee opened her mouth and muttered softly.

“They said yes, but I wanted to be suspicious of hanging out with friends.”

“I’m sorry about that.”

“Am I the only one who didn’t know anything fooled me? hehehe, I know.”

“So what do you want to say?”

Anyway, Kyunghee knew that I didn’t have a girlfriend.

I’ve been saying that over and over again.

I want to date, but CC is burdensome. I mean, something like that.

So what Kyunghee was doing now was simply a joke.

Because I know that we are dating each other for the first time.

If I was depressed in the first place, my ears would have gone down.

I could tell from the slow twitching of my ears now.

So when I stroked her head to stop playing around, Kyunghee stopped pretending to cry and smiled.

“It’s awful.”

“That’s right. By my standards, it was a bargain.”

“I was deceived.”

“So, will it work?”

“Yeah! That’s why liars need to be punished…”

“What punishment?”

Kyunghee put both hands on her waist and straightened her back.

Then, as if he had thought of it beforehand, he said it confidently.

“I’ll give you a chance to pet this Princess Kyunghee!”

“……Are you ashamed?”

“….no it’s not.”

I could tell just by the ringing in my ears.

It wasn’t fluttering because it felt good, it was fluttering to somehow smooth out the situation.

It seemed like he was trying to get his attention, but to no avail.

I suddenly hugged her and stroked her hair, and only then did Kyung-hee stop fluttering in her ears.

Then she turned her red face and closed her eyes as if nothing had happened.

It must have been because I wanted to try it at least once.

“You look great today.”

“Are you cool!?”

“Yeah. Courageous. Confident. Like I’ve known other people for a long time.”

“Sah, actually, I practiced a lot. It’s a little bit like talking to other people, but it’s because I want to receive an award.”

“…….award?”

“yes.”

I stopped stroking it because I felt ominous for a moment.

However, Kyunghee said that she had planned to act like she didn’t know anything.

So, the award Kyung-hee said is nothing else, but simply the time spent with me.

I felt sorry for thinking about something strange.

However, when I read Kyung-hee’s novel, which was close to an essay, I thought of this.

“Come to think of it, it’s Kyunghee.”

“yes?”

“What do readers say about me? I’m sure they know of my existence.”

“………ah.”

Kyunghee opened her mouth blankly.

Then he hurriedly buried his face in my chest and begged me not to know about it.

It was so embarrassing that it was so cute that a voice mixed with crying came out.

I know roughly anyway, but I wanted to hear it with my own mouth.

Perhaps the most common response was concern for my health.

The dominant response was whether he was alive or not.

If you are imprisoned or unable to speak, ask for help.

“Actually, it’s Kyunghee.”

“yes?”

“I’ve been reading all of your novels and webtoon storyboards.”

“ah.”

“Are you Kyunghee?”

“aaa…!”

Kyunghee cried.

Then he smiled with a face that had realized something, and made a resigned expression.

Since he borrowed my account and wrote a novel, he seemed to realize that he had no choice but to be caught.

To be honest, Kyunghee in this look was cute enough, so I thought I wanted to make fun of her more.

But I thought I would get really angry if I teased him any more, so I just laughed.

No, Kyung-hee was banging my chest with her head as if she was slightly angry.

“sorry.”

“……..”

“upset?”

“I’m not pissed off.”

“You’re pouting. Come on, I’ll stroke you.”

“Because stroking it doesn’t make you feel better?”

“But, it’s Kyunghee.”

“yes?”

“For something like that, your head is following me in my hand.”

“……………..”

In the end, Kyung-hee was frozen in tears and had no choice but to comfort him.

After calming down for a while, Kyung-hee returned to normal, and smiled dejectedly as if she had realized something.

Then he crawled into my bed on the pretext of hurting his heart.

I heard him breathe deeply, pretending to be asleep on purpose, but he pretended not to know.

In the meantime, I picked up my phone and pressed 1 for a long time.

And he began to explain at length to his mother.

The first thing I had to explain was that I had a girlfriend.

Fortunately, this wasn’t too difficult.

I heard some teasing, but my mother liked it.

I could hear laughter through my phone asking if I could look forward to my future daughter-in-law.

But what follows is no light matter.

Kyunghee ran away from home due to domestic violence.

I didn’t have anywhere to go, so I accepted him, and during that time we started dating.

They didn’t go out to physical relations, they just kissed.

I was dizzy just thinking about explaining this far.

In fact, Kyunghee is a mutant with rabbit ears, and that is why she was kicked out.

I have to explain that there is also an agent from the NIS.

No matter how much I was a trusted son to my parents, this was just bullshit.

No, in fact, I couldn’t believe it either.

Still, I had to explain at some point, so that I could go to the next step.

Since I had to take responsibility anyway, I slowly started explaining.

Fortunately, my mother understood roughly.

I accepted a friend of the opposite sex who ran away from domestic violence.

And they even understood that we were dating in the process.

“I understand because my mother always told me to help people in need.”

“Yeah……”

“Still, the matter is the matter, and I am upset that I did not say a word to my mother.”

“hahahaha…….”

“Mom will explain to Dad. Instead, you’ll have to listen to his grumbling.”

“Yeah.”

“So, can I make a video call?”

“……..Yeah?”

“Siwoo, did you really mean not to show your girlfriend’s face to your mom?”

A cold voice came through the phone.

It sounds soft at first glance, but I could tell because he was my mother’s son.

If I didn’t show it now, it was obvious that I would have a hard time trying to appease him.

But it’s better to suffer, I couldn’t show Kyung-hee right now.

It’s because I haven’t explained that Kyung-hee is a mutant yet.

He simply said that he was dating a victim of domestic violence while accepting it.

So I made an excuse. Kyung-hee is sleeping right now, so it’s okay to show her face.

But the mother seemed to have expected that much, and changed the subject to see her son’s face.

I couldn’t stand the persuasion that I hadn’t been watching over the phone for almost half a year.

The moment I had no choice but to switch to a video call, Kyung-hee asked what was going on behind me.

Before I could explain the situation, Kyung-hee, who casually hugged me from behind and poked her head over her shoulder, let out a short moan.

“……Son, is your girlfriend wearing a rabbit ear headband?”

“Mom. How did this happen…”

“Is Mommy dreaming?”

“No, I’m not dreaming…”

“Then you’re saying that’s real. Okay, son. Mom, can you calm down for a moment?”

After saying that, the phone hung up.

At first, I thought I was ruined.

Kyunghee must have thought the same, and said in a hard voice.

“My mother is young. I thought she was in her late 30s.”

“Kyunghee, that’s not important right now.”

“Ah, ah. That’s right. That, Siwoo. What should I do?”

“…Wouldn’t it be possible to find out only when I call again?”

Fortunately, the call came quickly, and again, it was a video call.

The mother on the screen was laughing while drinking coffee.

But the eyes weren’t smiling at all, so I got goosebumps.

It was the look in my dad’s eyes when he went fishing on the weekend and came home late after drinking.

It’s good to have fun with friends, but did you have to come in so late?

It was the gaze that calmly suppressed such an opponent.

As I was shrinking as if I had become a mouse in front of a snake, my mother caught her breath and opened her mouth.

“Son, you know that mom volunteers every weekend, right?”

“Yes? Yes. I know.”

“I’ve seen a girl like your girlfriend there.”

“……Yeah?”

“I’ll pass on this because it’s not that important, son.”

“…..Yeah.”

“Everything is good. Everything is good, but it’s kind of disappointing that you hid it from Mom and Dad.”

“……………..”

Fortunately, he didn’t seem to be that upset.

It didn’t seem like he was repulsed by Kyunghee’s appearance.

But right now, I felt like I was going to get scolded.

Since the only people to call were me and my father anyway, I had to be scolded for an hour, starting with the words that I would scold them as much as I wanted.

After being scolded for an hour like that, my mother spoke.

“You know that some of your dad’s fishing buddies are high-ranking government officials, right?”

“Ah, yes. He’s Hyeon-soo’s father.”

“Yeah. There was a time when you came to play with your dad, Jinsu’s dad, and Hyeonsu’s dad?”

“Yeah.”

“At that time, the story came out lightly. There are people called mutators.”

“……..uh.”

“The video that is often reported in the news is true. It’s not CG, it’s real.”

“……..Yeah?”

“That’s why mom knew too. Because the younger siblings were like your girlfriend.”

“Yes Yes.”

“I’m going to do it this once, but I know I’ll be scolded again when I get home.”

“……..Yeah.”

“Did you say Kyunghee? Can I talk to you for a moment?”

Without saying a word, I handed the phone to Kyunghee.

Kyung-hee must have grasped the seriousness of the atmosphere, and soon bowed politely.

Fortunately, this seemed to be the end of it.

After that, her mother talked to Kyung-hee for a while, then hung up after telling her to come home later.

After that, I was completely drained of energy, and I had no choice but to sag.

…….Rather than that, you didn’t have to tell me to be sure of birth control via text message.
