Chapter 635 – It’s Just a Slip of the Tongue.
“Yes, father. If you go over there, you will find a restaurant.”
“…”
Following Taeyeon’s words, who was sitting in the back seat, Dad turned. My mother, who had been watching it from her passenger seat, turned her gaze to me.
“Mister. Mister. You know me in kindergarten. I made songpyeon! On paper!”
“Oh yeah? It must have been delicious?”
“Hee hee, is it made of paper? How do you eat it?”
I played hard with Yena, who sat between me and Taeyeon. She was also glad to see Jena, whom she hadn’t seen in a few weeks, and more than anything else, she created a gap to think about how to explain this situation.
It wasn’t wrong for Taeyeon to choose not to avoid conflict but to confront it. But her mother’s suspicious gaze was too harsh.
“Here, Taeyeon.”
My mother, who had been looking at me, turned her gaze back to Taeyeon. When her name was called, she answered with a completely different face than when she was talking to me or her other girlfriends.
“Yes, Mother.”
“You said police, right?”
“Yes. It is a light captain.”
“Which police station do you work for?”
“I work at the police box, not at the police station, mother.”
“Ah, that’s right. Sorry for misunderstanding.”
“It’s okay, mother. When I say I am a cop, they often get it wrong. Ho ho ho.”
Oh my god. Did he know how to smile like that? I’ve only seen it in my previous life.
“I guess I look like a detective to others.”
“Right, Mom.”
I decided to be a small help for Taeyeon, who would be the most awkward in this situation.
“My sister is just a cop at the police box. Not a detective working undercover.”
“Hey. Wait for a sec. Why am I a cop?”
I was helping as much as I could, but Taeyeon cut me off. She said, biting her teeth in her usual tone, as if she had forgotten my parents were there.
“I just said lieutenant. Light coat. And if I pass the promotion test this time, I will become a sergeant?”
“It was just a slip of the tongue.”
“Did I say I was a police officer when I introduced myself to you? If I were to be promoted, would you think I would die and be promoted to the second rank?”
Taeyeon, who was talking curtly as usual, was stunned when she noticed her mother’s gaze. After being dazed for a few seconds, she hurriedly regained her senses and explained what she had just done.
“I’m sorry, mother. I’m sharp these days because of the promotion test. It’s not like this in the first place.”
Seeing such a duality, her mother muttered loudly for her to hear.
“Why don’t you do this? As usual.”
“Hey.”
“But it got a little sharper. Sister, are you okay these days?”
Of course, since Taeyeon was glaring at her, she changed her words.
Anyway, the words I brought out to help Taeyeon worked great. Not on the good side, but on the bad side.
“…”
That too in a very bad way.
Taeyeon’s mother’s gaze was more suspicious than when she first met her. Her mother, who had been looking suspiciously at her, looked at her forward, and she sat still and fidgeted with her smartphone.
“Mister. Mister.”
Watching her mother’s behavior carefully, Yenna tugged at the sleeve of my combat uniform. As she was, she turned her head and saw her cute Jena face.
“Why, Yena? Do you have anything to say to your uncle?”
“Ugh, no. I just called. Hehe!”
Oh my god. Do you have such a cute kid?
Jena’s attack made her head dizzy. She was a warrior, but she couldn’t stay still.
“Okay? It’s yena Yes.”
“Why? Did you just call me?”
“No, I called Yena because she was pretty!”
Hee hee!”
She was so lovable, Yena, who smiled brightly at even the most insignificant jokes. Because of her loveliness emanating from her small body, not only Taeyeon, who was sitting next to her, but also her father, who was in the driver’s seat, raised the corners of her mouth.
Ugh!
At this time, my smartphone in the pocket of my combat uniform vibrated. When I took it out and checked it, I could see that a text message had come from the demon king.
Demon King: What the fuck did you do again?
I saw the message on the screen and went straight to the chat room. Meanwhile, she texted back and forth.
Maou: Your mother sent me a text.
Demon King: Didn’t Jim and you break up?
Mawang: What’s going on?
It wasn’t just the text that surprised me. Before answering the question sent by the Demon King, I asked this first.
Me: Why did you wake up early?
Demon King: haha
Demon King: That’s what I’m going to tell you
Demon King: Actually, it’s the end.
Demon King: I’ll think about it now
Me: I wish
Demon King: It’s leaking for the night with you
Maou: To know in advance!
Excitement started to ignite as I thought of what was to come tonight. After cooling off this excitement with the immaculate and clear Jena and this awkward situation, he told me what had happened in a calm mood.
Demon King: haha
The text sent by the demon king was full of ‘ㅋ’. She sent the same message for a long time, sending her feelings, and finally sent another message.
Demon King: You said you didn’t break up with your mother.
Demon King: So you
Demon King: insist that we are friends with Taeyeon
Demon King: You can’t act like you normally do
Demon King: never
Demon King: Got it?
She replied that it was too late to answer now, but that she knew for now. The last time she sent a heart-shaped emoji, her dad’s car stopped in front of a restaurant.
It was a restaurant that Taeyeon had known beforehand to have breakfast with me. Enticing my parents by baiting breakfast, she asked her dad in her driver’s seat.
“Father. I’ll park. Please go in first with your father and mother.”
“…”
Shaking my head
She expressed her refusal by only shaking her head like a normally silent dad. I wouldn’t have immediately nodded if Mawang or Mina did it, but
“Father, it’s okay. That patrol car drives well.”
“…”
Shaking my head
It was a bit bittersweet to see her rejected again.
This awkward atmosphere continued even after entering the restaurant. Mom and Dad sat on one side of the table for four, and Taeyeon and Yena sat on the other side, and I sat in a seat similar to a seat of honor, as if mediating between them.
“Wait a minute.”
The dining room aunt brought side dishes. After putting the bowls of side dishes on our table, Mom opened her mouth, which she had been asking all along.
“Therefore. Mr. Taeyeon.”
“You can just call me Taeyeon, mother.”
“How is it? Baby’s mother But where is her husband and he came to see Jiheon?”
“I am not married.”
“Ah, then…”
Mom looked at me for a few seconds, then met Taeyeon’s eyes again.
“How did you get to know our Jiheon?”
“Oh, that is, Mom. I last time,”
“We met at the graduation ceremony of Sehee High School, and we became close from then on.”
“Uh?”
Even though I looked at her in surprise, Taeyeon kept her polite expression casually. She then let her know that her mother was adamant about her concerns.
“Even though we are of the same age, Jiheon and I get along well. So is Ji-heon with her girlfriend, So-hee, and she has a heart-to-heart with Se-hee and Min-ah, so she gets along well as her friend until now. She’s fine with me too. Right, is it Yena?”
“Yes?”
When her name came out out of nowhere, Jenna widened her eyes. She questioned her daughter, who was embarrassed but also cute.
“Yena. Color sisters, ah. I’m talking about Sohee and the other kids. Isn’t their hair color a bit unusual?”
“Ah yes. That’s right, right?”
Taeyeon, who explained why she called her color sisters, continued to ask Yena questions.
“Yena. Are you very close with the color sisters and Yena? Yes?”
“Huh! They are very friendly!”
“Then should I tell you how close you are to your parents?”
“Huh!”
Nodding with her big gesture, Jena turned her head to my mom and dad. Yena talked about how close we are with a bright attitude like a child.
“You know. My uncle and my mother are very close!”
“What?!”
“… !”
“Yes, is it Yena?”
It wasn’t exactly wrong, but even my dad furrowed his eyebrows at the misleading remark. Taeyeon, who read this atmosphere, was in a hurry, but she still brought out the right answer with a kind tone.
“Yena. Will you be friends only with your mom and dad? What about the colored sisters?”
“Ah, yes! The color sisters are also very close!”
After hearing that, she relaxed.
“We are. Last time. I rode a camper! We went to the swimming pool, and we also did fireworks at Hayang’s house!”
The atmosphere improved little by little as Yena talked about the fun things that had happened with us. It was dangerous when I talked about Taeyeon sleeping at her house, but the crisis disappeared when she said that the color sisters also slept together.
“When I went to fish. It was really fun! Even touch starfish! Let’s touch the sea cucumber! I just did it!”
“Is it? What else would you have done?”
“…”
“I even touched the datta fish! It tickled me!”
Thanks to Yena, smiles bloomed on my mom and dad’s faces. At this time, the food we ordered came and the story of Yena was cut off for a while. Looking at the gap, Taeyeon reassured the two of them.
“We and Jiheon are so close. When she said she was on vacation, she came out for a while to see her face. It also doubled as flirting with Yena.”
“Oh, that’s right. Me again! Oh my, ho ho ho ho!”
“…”
Nodding
Mom laughed in dismay, and her dad nodded her head as if to say, ‘I see.
Hehe!”
Laughing was the same as Yena. Even as a child, Taeyeon was not unaware of the hardened atmosphere when she ran into my parents. But she seemed to be glad that she had broken the mood.
“I’ll put the cutlery down?”
Excited, Yena got up from her seat and opened the spoon box. I took out a spoon and chopsticks from there, and held them out to my dad, who seemed to be the most smiling adult here.
“Mister! Here, here?”
Jenna, who was talking cheerfully, frowned at her. The way she looked at me and my father seemed to confuse the names of the two of us.
“Yena.”
Seeing her daughter like that, Taeyeon helped her sort out the title.
“This is your father. Then what should I call him?”
“Uh…”
“What did your mother call you so far?”
“Uh, on that…”
She must have not heard what her mother was saying about my father. But she had an unexpected stroke of luck.
“Because he is your father, is that, uh uh, ha, ha ha?”
“!”
My heart pounded at the way she spoke from her short tongue and at the look on her face as if asking if this was right. It was me in the oblique line that was nothing more than a throbbing in her chest, but the damage to her parents in the front was out of the ordinary.
“Oh my goodness! Ho-ho-ho!”
“… !”
Her mom took a visibly fonder of her, and her dad also held back her laughter while twitching the corner of her mouth.
On the other hand, Taeyeon was greatly surprised by her daughter’s wrong (?) Title and tried to correct her.
“Yes, it is Jena. Not Grandpa.”
“Mmm.”
The person Taeyeon interrupted her with was none other than her father. Dad shook her hand, saying it was okay, and she said briefly as she accepted the spoon that Jenna held out.
“Grandfather.”
This led Yena to call my mother her grandmother.
