chapter 13
13. House and Chicken
The mind that was immersed in the deep abyss begins to awaken little by little.
A consciousness that slowly awakens.
As I woke up, the first thing I felt was this sensation covering my entire body.
Warm.
And it’s cozy.
Moreover, it is soft.
I want to continue enjoying this feeling.
Forever.
I liked it so much, and I didn’t want to let go of it, so I unconsciously put my arms around it and hugged it.
“—Huh.”
And this fragrant scent that tickles the tip of the nose.
This soft feeling felt all over the face.
Mmm, it’s heaven. It’s heaven.
Wanting to enjoy this softness even more, I dug my face deeper into it and started rubbing my cheeks.
“―Hassot.”
… Hmm?
I just heard a very strange noise.
And what is this warm wind regularly felt near the top of the head?
Unable to overcome my curiosity in the end, I slowly began to lift my heavy eyelids.
Let me lift my eyelids like that,
In my eyes,
A large flesh-colored hill.
Two of them.
… ….
Uh… Could this be….
“Haaang- Oh my, are you awake?”
Only then did the hazy consciousness slowly begin to awaken at the familiar voice.
I came to my senses and slowly raised my eyesight, and I saw my mother’s face.
Umm…
Let’s think carefully.
The mother’s face is above.
Until recently, there were two large, flesh-colored hills in front of my eyes.
Then, where have I been rubbing and burying my face?
… ….
It doesn’t matter.
She is not another woman, but a mother.
“Mmm.”
“Hassuk. He’s really~”
I snorted and buried my mother’s face in her breasts and rubbed my cheeks.
As if I was addicted to this warmth and softness felt all over my face.
“Huh, cute~ Are you complaining about sleeping?”
I can feel my mother’s warm touch on my head.
As she received her mother’s kind touch, her eyes slowly closed.
With my eyes closed like that, my other five senses became more sensitive.
In particular, the sense of smell has become sensitive.
The nice scent I had smelled before tickled the tip of my nose and felt like it was directly stimulating my brain.
Ah, this must have been the smell of mother’s flesh.
Mmm, that’s so good.
I put my nose in my mother’s chest and took a deep breath in and savored her scent.
“Huh.”
“Huh.”
Could it be that the wind from my nose tickled me as I took a deep breath? I could feel my mother’s body trembling slightly.
I’m not sure if it’s because it’s itchy or because it’s surprising…
My mother hugged my head and patted my back.
“My son, I thought he was grown up, but he was still a baby?~”
“Ugh.”
“Huhu, do you like mother’s arms that much?”
“Nye-heh- I’m joa-.”
Is it because I buried my mother’s face too deeply in her arms? Embarrassingly, the pronunciation counted.
“Haaa, you really can’t help it.”
My mother hugged me even more while stroking my hair.
After enjoying her mother’s warmth for such a long time, her eyelids became heavy again.
As the eyelids closed completely, another deep darkness came.
And then the horses began to come in once again.
… Just better?
“―Son? Are you going to sleep better?”
“Ugh.”
“Huh, mom wants to do this more, too. Is my son not hungry? You should eat and sleep.”
Is it because I heard what my mother said about growing up after eating? I felt an intense hunger that I had never felt before.
Come to think of it, I ate very little because of the visitation schedule today.
The tiramisu I ate with my mother during the visit…
It was very delicious.
“Hmm. Mmm.”
“Huh?!”
When she remembered the tiramisu her mother fed her during the visit, her mouth automatically filled up with saliva.
Saliva collected and my mouth munched involuntarily.
While moving her mouth like that, she accidentally bit her mother’s skin with her lips.
“Haaang, haaah my son… a lot of times… Are you hungry?”
Hmmm, not too much, but a little bit?
But the hunger is bearable enough….
“I can’t help it~ My son.”
I felt my mother’s arm around my waist loosening from my body.
Then I felt a hand slip between my head and her mother’s arms.
I could feel my mother’s hand moving like that.
Slowly. Seruk.
Every time my mother moved her hand, the sound of the fabric rubbing against her skin could be heard.
Took.
Then there was also the sound of something like a button coming loose.
What the hell is going on?
“My son… no, my baby Will it be a very long time? Come on, eat-“
――♪♬ ――♪♬
At the time when I felt the warmth around my lips,
A loud electronic sound was heard.
“… Chit.”
Huh? I think my mother just clicked her tongue.
But she said, as if nothing had happened, she stroked my hair once more and pulled me out of her arms.
Then, I felt the presence of her mother getting up from her seat.
When she slowly opened her eyes, her mother was fixing her clothes.
She neatly trimmed her clothes, then her mother got up and went over to the bedside table next to her.
There was a smartphone with an electronic sound, no, a bell ringing loudly.
“Hello? …… Arrived? Hmmm, you came quickly. …… No, that’s it …… Yep, good job I will open it now.”
Her mother just finished the call and turned her back, and then she came back to me. All of a sudden, she had a bright smile on her face.
“Son, are you awake?”
“Wow. Yes.”
“My son said he wanted to eat chicken, right? We’ll arrive soon, so even if you’re hungry, bear with it for a little bit~”
“Yes. I will wait patiently.”
“Ayu, be nice.”
My mother stroked my hair and asked me with an apologetic face.
“Right. I forgot to tell you. My brother who knows my mother is bringing chicken, is that okay?”
“Um? What?”
“I might be meeting a woman I’ve never seen before. Is my son okay?”
Ah, that was the story. What else do i say
“Yes. Does not matter. Rather, I am worried that I will make a mistake with my mother and younger brother.”
Hearing my words, my mother opened her eyes wide and looked at me with a moved expression.
“Huh, as expected, my son is really nice.”
My mother hugged me tightly and she gave me a few pats on the back.
“Son, shall we go to the living room together? Or would you rather lie down?”
“I’ll go out with you.”
“Is that so? Youngcha~”
After hearing my answer, my mother gave me a satisfied expression, and she picked me up as it was.
Are you okay? Aren’t you heavy?
Only then did I take a look at the room.
The big room, antique-looking furniture and decorations, and even the big bed I was lying on with my mother.
Come to think of it… Where are you?
“Mother, where are you?”
“Huh? Here? It’s home, of course.”
“… To? When did you arrive?”
When did you really arrive?
I definitely remember getting into the car, but after that, I can’t remember anything.
When I asked in a bewildered voice, my mother said with her wry smile.
“My son slept so soundly that no one would know who was carrying him. A good night’s sleep is good for the body, but my mother is a little worried.”
My mother seemed very concerned about my sleeping habits.
This part was a problem I was aware of.
Even if I go to bed, it’s too dark for me, so once I fall asleep, I can’t wake up.
It was to the point where I couldn’t wake up unless someone decided to wake me up.
There was a time when I had a lot of trouble because of this sleeping habit.
When I think about it now, it was really creepy.
I also tried to fix the dark sleep, but it didn’t fix it, so I was in trouble.
“It doesn’t matter at home, but I had to be really careful outside. Do you know what Mama is talking about?”
“Yes. I will be careful.”
“That’s right~ be nice.”
My mother gave me a pat on the back and headed to the door. Soon after she opened the door, a little bright light bothered my eyes.
But my eyes quickly got used to it and I began to see a wide living room along with a wide aisle.
It was a luxuriously well-decorated living room, just like the room I had just been with my mother.
My mother was very rich, wasn’t she?
As I was looking around with my eyes shining and turning my head here and there, my mother came to talk to her with a smile.
“How is it? Do you like the house?”
“Yes! I love it!”
My mother must have been very satisfied with my reaction, and she kissed my cheek with a proud face.
“Umm~ side. Would you like to look around for a while? Mommy has to host her guests.”
“Yes, I understand.”
When I nodded and answered, my mother gave me another kiss and put me down.
After coming down to the floor, I first approached the large veranda window where I could see the outside.
Outside the window, there was a brightly lit city view under the dark night sky.
And under the bright city, there was a large river, which was spectacular.
It was not for nothing that people sang Han River View~ Han River View~.
Even as an outsider in this regard, I could definitely feel that the view was very good.
Wow~ It’s really tasteful.
Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~
While watching the night view outside the window for a while, soaked in appreciation, I heard a unique electronic sound.
When I turned my head in the direction of the sound, my mother was looking at an electronic device attached to the wall.
Within seconds, my mother, who was operating the electronic devices, headed for the passage leading to the living room.
The sound just now was the doorbell, right?
Is the guest you mentioned before coming?
Curiosity blossomed and I followed her mother’s footsteps.
Going out along the aisle, I saw a large front door and the back of my mother opening the door.
As soon as my mother opened the door, she heard the voice of a woman other than her mother.
“Excuse me~ Oh, it’s hard.”
“Come in. I had a really hard time.”
“What is the hardship? Rather than that, what kind of party is this all of a sudden?”
“Huh? Are you having a party? What do you mean?”
“Yes? Aren’t you having a party? He asked me to buy this much chicken, so I thought he was throwing a party.”
As the mother moved to her side, the image of her guest began to appear.
A woman of about the same height as her mother, dressed in a well-groomed suit, was holding multicolored plastic bags in her hands, incongruous with her dapper appearance.
“If it’s not a party, what is this chicken all about? Oh, did you come in for a food CF? Do you want to practice eating?”
“No, not like that.”
“Not even that? Well then…….”
The woman who was about to take off her shoes at her front door only noticed me standing in her aisle.
The woman who made eye contact with me froze as she was trying to take off her shoes.
And her mother was just looking at her like she was having fun.
There was such an awkward silence.
Unable to bear the atmosphere, I first greeted the woman by bowing her head.
“Hello.”
“… ….”
As I said hello, the woman turned her head to look at her mother with a very unnatural stiff movement.
After looking at her mother for a while, the woman spoke to her in a trembling voice.
“Huh, sister?”
“Huh? Why?”
My mother just looked at the woman with an amused smile, still smiling.
Umm, your mother is more mischievous than you think.
“What the hell is that man….”
“hehehe, you were very surprised, right?”
My mother came up to me with her playful smile and stood behind me.
“Didn’t I tell you before? I have a child too.”
“… Yes? It was.
… Uh? What? To? Really? Stand, please….”
“Yes. Let me introduce you.”
My mother put her hands on my shoulders and proudly went on with her words.
“This is my son.”
“…… Yeah eh eh?!”
….
… ….
……….
Well well.
“――So, only the boss knew that her sister had a son?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Ha. I see…. Ah, so that’s how it was. I know now.”
“What do you mean?”
“Before, why, that… Where was the newspaper? Anyway, there were some b*tches who made fun of the older sister’s child, right?”
“Ah~ that?”
Well well.
Do you hate me? Something like that happened.
“Genes, you hurriedly deleted the original article and even submitted a correction. Even that was not enough, so I wrote an apology and sent it to the agency.”
“Ahahahaha, that’s right.”
“What was it then? I wondered, but now I understand why. Did that move in the men’s division?”
“Yeah, that’s right. He’s quick-witted too.
Well, thanks to that, it was nice that they didn’t touch even a hair on our agency’s family for a while.”
“Ha. It was like that too.”
Well well.
This seasoned chicken is delicious. Where is your brand?
Not too spicy, moderately sweet is just my taste.
“So, the main characters of the safety zone guide text were her older sister and her older sister’s son?”
“That’s right too.”
“Ha, that’s a really big deal. It will be a headache for my sister for a while.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Sister, haven’t you seen the news yet? Right now, the whole country is turned upside down because of you.”
“What do you mean by that? Oh wait.”
After talking for a while, my mother pulled out a tissue and wiped my mouth.
“You must be very hungry? I put all the seasoning on my face and eat it~”
“Ugh.”
“Oh, it’s also on the cheek~ Wait a minute. – Okay, that’s it. Do you like this?”
“Yes! It is delicious!”
“Yeah, okay~ I’ll remember what kind of chicken mom is.”
My mother wrote down the name of the chicken I was eating on a note placed on the table.
“Lara Chicken’s Seasoned Chicken… okay.
Then, what about the whole country?”
“… ….”
“… ? Why are you not talking?”
“… No. How to say My sister’s son, you are a wonderful person.”
“My son? Eh~ I guess so?~”
“It seems that only my sister’s son can have the title of the first person to voluntarily leave prison.”
“Huh? What. Has the government announcement already come out? As far as I know, it was supposed to be announced tomorrow.”
“Did the government try to announce it? Somehow, as soon as the special report came out, the government distributed an official statement.”
“Hey, did the media notice it first?”
“Yes. The Hyesung Newspaper was the first to issue a special notice that someone had voluntarily left the prison.”
“Comets? Hey, that’s great How did you find out?”
The mother looked with interest at the woman sitting across from her, her mother’s manager.
At her mother’s question, her manager shook her head as if she didn’t know herself and opened her mouth.
“I don’t know. But is your sister okay?”
“It doesn’t matter to me. On the contrary, I was delighted to give a blow to the high-ranking nobles who were trying to use my son as a means of politics.”
My mother opened the wrapper of her new chicken with a refreshing smile. She then took a chicken leg out of the chicken box and put it in my bowl.
“Oh, this seasoning looks unusual. Is it cheese?”
“That’s Chi Wrinkle Chicken, a type of cheese seasoning chicken that’s popular these days. I like it, so I order it often.”
The manager took out the sauce pack from the chicken wrapper and continued her explanation.
“Eating it as it is is delicious, but it is even more delicious if you dip it in this sauce.”
“Really? Thanks for letting me know~”
Oh, there was cheese seasoning chicken in this world too! I loved it even in my past life.
I bowed my head and thanked the manager who made it possible for me to have a happy reunion with Chicken.
“Thank you~”
While the manager was opening the sauce pack, he opened his mouth with a very embarrassed expression at my greeting.
“Eh? Yes, that, ah, no.
Delicious… Please eat something delicious, or do you eat it? Thank you, thank you.”
The manager corrected and repeated the words several times, like a broken cassette.
At the manager’s words, my mother laughed and said, as if it were fun.
“Ahahahaha, what’s up with greetings~”
“Oh, sister!”
“Ahahahahaha, you can just talk casually. Right son?~”
“Yes, you can speak comfortably.”
“Huh?! That, like that… Uh… Then, I will.”
“Please take good care of me.”
I smiled and greeted the manager again.
The manager looked at me for a long time with a blank expression, then turned his gaze to my mother and opened his mouth.
“… Sister.”
“No.”
“What, what! You know what I’m going to say and I refuse!”
“Did you know I met one or two kids like you at the shelter? It’s obvious that women Anyway, if you can’t, then you can’t.”
“Hey. Too bad.”
“Please, please don’t do that to yourself either. I’m in a situation where I’m in trouble because of that problem.”
“Is that enough?”
“I can’t even imagine. Whatever.”
My mother looked at me with warm eyes as I ate her fried chicken. Seeing her mother’s gaze, I smiled as well.
My mother stroked my hair once with her happy face and went on with her words.
“I live with my son now. I am confident that I can overcome anything now.”
“… ….”
“Well, anyway, that’s how it turned out.”
“Haa, sister.”
“Ah, that’s right. I have a favor to ask of you.”
My mother looked at her manager as if she had just remembered something and told her business.
“Are you familiar with computers?”
“A computer? Uh… How much?”
“Good. I’m not good at it, so I don’t know much about this side.”
“Do you want to learn computer? You can just learn on a work laptop that is rented by the agency.”
“Not for me to use, but for my son to use.”
“Yes? Your son?”
After hearing what the mother said, the manager shifted her gaze to me with her face at the bottom of her doubt.
Was it a bit honest?
A kid asking me to buy a computer as soon as he gets home.
Judging from the manager’s reaction, it seems that adults’ notions and evaluations of computers in this world are not very good.
Misunderstanding! I’m not asking you to buy a computer to play games!
… Of course, the game is a bigger reason for me.
At the manager’s questionable gaze, I just smiled and tried to escape the situation.
“… Awesome!”
Fortunately, my smile worked. The manager turned his gaze away from me with his face blushing.
Ah, this works.
“Hmm. My son is all good, but this part is the problem. Should I educate them?”
“Yes?! Don’t do that, sister!”
The manager suddenly jumped up from his seat and began to explain in a high-pitched voice.
“Although it was only for a short time, this short amount of time was enough for me to know. And I can tell you. As for my sister’s son!”
The manager glanced at me and continued talking.
“He is every woman’s dream and ideal man!”
“… hehehe?”
“… Whoa.”
At the manager’s declaration, the mother looked at the manager with her slightly hardened face and opened her mouth.
“… Yes, I’ll take it as a compliment. But I don’t think that’s something to say in front of parents who have children in front of them.”
“Ah… ….”
The manager also bowed his head to her mother with a sorry face, perhaps noticing her mistake.
“I’m sorry. I have a big apology.”
“… Whoa, no. Rather, it seems that I am too sensitive. Sorry.”
“No, sister.”
Mother cleared her hard face and changed her subject to a soft expression again.
“Anyway, could you check out the computer?”
“Yes, I will.
Uh… But how can I match the specifications?”
Oh, of course with the highest specifications!
Ah, but if I told you directly, you would definitely be suspicious, right?
How to do it. How should I tell you?!
“My son will use it, so of course we have to set it to the highest specifications.”
Whoaaa!
My mom is the best!
“That would cost a lot of money? If it’s too high-end, it’s rather a waste.
I just want to recommend setting it to the basic specifications.”
Manager
You betrayed me!!
“You don’t have to worry about money.
And I want to give my son only the best. So I’ll ask for the best.”
Wooooo!
Mom! I believed it. Damn!
“Umm, if that’s what you mean, I’ll do it.
I will prepare it within this week at the earliest.”
“Yes, and in the meantime, could you borrow my company laptop so that my son doesn’t get bored?”
“Yes. I’ll bring the laptop right away tomorrow.”
You care so much…
Mother, I love you very much.
“And what is your schedule for the time being?”
“Um… This week is a bit on the loose side, and filming starts in earnest from next week.”
“Really? Hmm, I need to meet the boss for this.”
“The boss?”
“Yeah, wait.”
My mother took out another tissue and held it to my mouth.
“I want to spend some time with my son, so I’m going to take a break from activities.”
“…… Yes?”
…… Uh?
Taking a break from activities?
“Please make a reservation for a meeting with the boss tomorrow.”
“Uh, sister? Are you serious? Are you filming a movie soon? This was the shoot that unnie was really looking forward to, right?”
“Yes. That’s right, but there is.”
Said the mother, looking at her manager with her bitter face.
“It may seem irresponsible. As expected, I think time with my son is more important now.”
A few days after my mother’s surprise declaration and promise.
Korea, which was already noisy, was hit by another storm, this time in the entertainment industry.
And of course,
The protagonists of the storm were me and my mother.
【The identity of the first person to voluntarily leave the prison, as it turns out, the son of Choi Yoon-hee, an up-and-coming actor?!】
