chapter 25
25. Preparation for annexation
The chase with Han Seo-ah, risking her life(?), Ended only when she arrived at the front door of the house.
Han Seo-ah said, breathing heavily.
“It’s really hard, I’m dying. Why are you running so hard when you’re not as strong as me?”
“······Heeok, heeuk.”
He said he would kill you if you were caught. Seo Han, you crazy b*tch.
She wanted to say this like a chimney, but she was so tired that she didn’t even have the energy to speak.
“And as I said last time, Siwoo, you need to do some exercise.”
“······I know, I know.”
She knew it.
The fact that humans must exercise to live.
The fact that I belong to the axis that does not exercise even among ordinary people.
“But why not?”
“Because it bothers me.”
It’s just that I know it, but I have no intention of putting it into practice.
Even the laziest man could imagine himself doing something.
Hearing my words, she said with a very bewildered expression on her face.
“Is it because it’s just annoying?”
“That’s reason enough.”
“What if you turn into a pig?”
“No matter how much weight I gain, I feel like I will weigh less than you…”
“Siwoo, what did you just say? I’m still your girlfriend today?”
“·······Sorry.”
I wonder if it’s because I felt like living for a moment.
No, looking at Han Seo-ah’s still bloody expression, it was absolutely not because of her mood.
While talking about his girlfriend or something with his mouth.
Why are the sentences spit out together so bloody?
I looked at Han Seo-ah, who was still cold, grumbling inwardly about a sentence that could never be expressed in words.
“By the way. Why did you follow me here?”
“Huh?”
“This is my house. Yours is next door.”
I think so.
What on earth was this guy thinking when he naturally came into my room?
She turned her head slightly as if that was the problem, as if Hanseo knew what I was saying.
“Is it strange that I’m in your room?”
“No, no matter how, there is a girl in the 20-year-old boy’s room…”
“Even though I’m your girlfriend today?”
“····.”
That’s a real shield.
If you try to tackle him even slightly, he will take it out right away, so I have nothing to say.
No matter what I say here, it seems that it will no longer work for Han Seo-ah, so she uttered it as it should be.
“So, what. Do you want me to sleep here tonight?”
“······· Huh?”
“Isn’t that what you’re saying? You’re my girlfriend today, so it doesn’t matter if you come into my room, and since you’re my girlfriend, I’m going to sleep here.”
A literal rant.
Words that are just words and sentences that come to mind.
Of course, I expected that they wouldn’t respond properly, and I just said it as if it were going to happen.
That was definitely the case.
I definitely said that with that intention.
“······Can we do that?”
“······· Huh?”
“Can I sleep here tonight?”
But I didn’t expect Seoah Han to accept that with all her heart.
I never thought I would sincerely accept that rough-and-tumble proposal.
“····.”
My mouth was wide open at the unexpected reaction of Han Seo-ah.
“Me, then I’ll tell mom and come back!”
“····.”
Accepting that again as an expression of permission, Seoah Han quickly left my room.
Lee Si-woo turns 20 this year.
It was the moment when I faced the biggest crisis of my life.
······Really troubled.
***
I wonder if anyone knows this feeling.
“······What, son? Did I just hear something wrong?”
“····.”
“Seo-ah sleeps in her son’s room today?”
How I feel when I tell my mother that my childhood friend, whom I have known for over 10 years, is sleeping in my room.
“····.”
“Not a lie, really?”
I really couldn’t put it into words.
Seeing the mischief in her mother’s eyes, she couldn’t do anything.
The fact that I was the one who caused all of this was holding me back and preventing me from doing anything.
“This mother has always been waiting for a day like this, son.”
“No, Mom.”
“This mother and Seo Ah’s mother even made a bet on when you guys would date. In the end, no one won because you didn’t date until the end.”
“I’m not dating Han Seo-ah…”
I tried to make it clear again that they weren’t dating.
– Siwoo, am I your girlfriend today?
The voice of Han Seo Ah, which she had heard earlier, echoed in her head, and her words were cut off.
My proud mother, who confirmed that I couldn’t follow her, got even more excited and went on with her.
“Yes, the past is important. The present moment is important.”
“····.”
“Does this mother have anything to prepare for you? Does she need anything?”
“No, it’s not what mom thinks in the first place…”
“Oh, I don’t have it at home. Mama should buy it from the convenience store right now? I think it would be embarrassing for my son or Seo-ah to buy one.”
“······What do you mean by that. Mother.”
Then is it really a big deal?
How scary the world is these days.
Despite my bewildered expression, my mother persevered in her words.
“Isn’t that right? Even Seo-ah doesn’t seem to like it when it happens already…”
“Mom!”
Instinctively, I screamed at the remark that was much more shocking than Seo-ah Han’s remark that she would sleep in my room.
“Hey. Why are you screaming all of a sudden?”
“You don’t look like you’re wearing it right now…”
“Of course I’m joking. Do you really think I would say that to my son and Seo-ah?”
“····.”
Yes.
I think you’re really sincere.
No matter how you think about it, you seemed sincere.
And, sure enough.
“Of course, there is a bit of sincerity mixed in.”
“····.”
“Didn’t my mother always say that she wished well for my son and Seo-ah?”
Perhaps she saw my hardened expression, and my mother obediently brought out the truth.
This is enough for the lord to be a fairy.
I never thought that the most virulent wormworm would be my mother.
“Anyway, is it true that Seo-ah is going to sleep here today?”
“······Yes. That’s how it turned out.”
“Then are you two going to sleep together in the bed?”
“No. I’d appreciate it if you could bring me more blankets, mother.”
As I said, it was a voice that could be described as the most resolute of my voices lately.
But it’s worth it.
No matter how hard it is, sleeping in the same bed is a bit much.
Hearing my determined voice, my proud mother put on a pitiful look.
“I think it’s Hanan that my son listened to only words.”
“Mom?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s probably because I raised her the wrong way.”
“····.”
Why is this going the other way?
Even the fact that this isn’t the first time I’ve heard of it made my heart ache even more.
It was something I had already heard from Seo Ju-young the other day.
You were really just a man, and that was something I had already heard from the lord.
So, a sudden thought came to me.
‘······Is it real?’
Am I really just a man in the eyes of others?
Is it true that he is a man who already knows everything about his feelings for me through his childhood friend’s inner heart, but is thinking about it ‘just in case’?
If that’s true, I think it would hurt a lot.
I felt like I was getting depressed for no reason.
“Son? Are you offended?”
“······No.”
“What do you know? Just looking at it, my son’s state is ‘I’m mad.’ Condition.”
“······Is that enough?”
“Well, it seems that people who don’t know my son well will not understand it. This mother and I know her son so well that she can’t help but notice?”
“····.”
At this point, I even thought of this.
‘Actually, maybe I’m the one who can really see my heart.’
‘Han Seo-ah only shows me what’s inside, but maybe I’m already letting everyone know what’s inside through my facial expressions.’
If it wasn’t for that, it wouldn’t make sense for my mother and Han Seo-ah to always match my inner thoughts.
As if reading my expression this time, my mother sent me a comforting voice.
“Don’t worry, son. As I said before, unless you stand with this mother, she won’t notice.”
“······It’s a problem because mom and Seo-ah Han get caught.”
“What’s wrong? They’re all family anyway.”
“Why is Han Seo-ah a family… I can’t believe it.”
“Ah, you have to tell your mother to know that? Of course she is a prospective daughter-in-law.”
“No…”
Ding Dong-
The moment I was about to refute something more, the well-timed ringtone cut me off properly.
“Looks like you’re here. Go quickly and open the door.”
“······Wasn’t your mother usually open it?”
“Seo-ah came as a guest today. The son should greet the guests himself.”
“····.”
Why are you like this today?
I really want to refute, but I can’t refute because everything is true.
In the end, I let out a deep sigh and walked slowly to the front door as I couldn’t go against my heavenly mother’s words.
Diriring-
Kikki-
“······Hello.”
“····.”
Han Seo-ah was standing behind the front door that opened with the same sound as usual.
“······What else is that?”
“······This? Animal pajamas.”
While wearing a cute pink bunny pajamas, which is the complete opposite of Seoah Han’s usual image.
