Chapter 147 – Episode 147

For some reason, I feel like I too have a bitter taste in my mouth.

Glancing, I look to the left again.

“I came in much faster than Aebom! So what was it, ah! “It’s my first pata!”

“Oh my god, then you came into the man’s house alone without fear?”

“Ehehe, I’ve often been told that I’m not afraid. I guess I should say that this all happened for some reason.”

Looking at the three excitedly chatting in the distance, I think the mother’s appearance had a positive impact. In particular, I can see Ohana, who was probably the most shocked, quickly calming down while talking to my mom.

Even though Han Aebom is pushing on her mother to the extent that it seems like it’s too much, it doesn’t seem like she dislikes the gay situation that makes her eyes sparkle.
Looking at how hard she was cutting her fruit earlier, I guess she doesn’t like Yoon Su-ah either. Why did she make that look?

“Soo-ah.”

“Ah, Mr. Hyunwoo. “I’m almost done washing the dishes.”

When we approach her to answer her questions, Yoon Su-ah quickly returns to her usual expression. She licked the inside of her now bitter mouth with her tongue and then opened her mouth.

“Thank you for your hard work. More than that, her expression was a bit off. Is there a problem? If you have any, please just let me know. It’s between us.”

It seemed like she wasn’t going to tell me, so she subtly emphasized the words ‘between us’, so Yoon Soo-ah carefully lifted her tiptoes and whispered in my ear.

“For some reason, I just didn’t have anything to tell Hyunwoo’s mother.”

“Yes?”

I watched it again to see what that meant. Although she is jealous of Yoon Su-ah, she opens her mouth while looking at Ohana and Han Ae-bom with her gloomy eyes.

“Aebom is a proud member of the Hanban group, she studied abroad, and she speaks fluently. She’s had a lot of experience outside of her own family, so she’s talking a lot about this and that, right? Maybe that’s why her mother looks so happy too.”

“…”

“But I have nothing to tell you. But I don’t want to proudly say that I’m sick.”

I was a little relieved by Yoon Su-ah’s words.

I was wondering what to do if it was a very serious problem. It was something like that.

“What else am I saying? “You were worried for no reason.”

“For no reason. “For me, it’s a very heartbreaking issue.”

I said with a small smile.

“First, my mom, I’m not the type of person who cares about what other people’s families are like. From the way you’re talking about it in the first place, it doesn’t seem like you believe it.”

I wonder if it would be persuasive for the four people living together in this cramped room to call themselves a Hanban group.

“If I had accepted it as fact, I wouldn’t have been able to have a conversation comfortably like that.”

“Really? “Why?”

I chuckled as I looked at Yun Su-ah with her eyes wide open.

“Well, everyone else is like that, but my family especially hates being in debt. “Among them, my mother is the worst.”

I am sincere.

I wouldn’t necessarily say this to anyone, but my mom was a bit obsessive-compulsive, and she tended to feel uncomfortable receiving things from others.
So, when I receive something, I have to give more in return to relieve my frustration, to the point where my mother nags me to stop giving it to others.

“So she often says that her mother is a selfish person.”

This too was real. Would you say that if you look at it from the side, you will probably know a little bit what it means?

Mom cuts off anyone who makes her feel uncomfortable.

People smile a lot and are friendly, so the pool of connections is incredibly wide.

If I feel something uncomfortable even just once, I will never meet that person again. I don’t like receiving things from others, and I always give back more than that… In a way, she was doing it for her own benefit.

“Take a good look again. “Look at the way mom is smiling over there.”

“Ah…”

There were only smiles there, as if watching cute little girls having fun. I added while looking at my mother.

“And my mom, she likes to talk. “I don’t really like listening.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Really. The reason I’m so happy now is that I feel joy and gratitude at playing with my son who has never even held a woman’s hand. In fact, you’re probably secretly listening with one ear and letting it out with the other, just measuring the timing of what you’re going to say?”

As soon as she finished speaking, her mother excitedly started listing her accomplishments to her Ohana and Han Aebom.
She has increased sales at the store she works in. The manager there takes special care of her. Because of her hard work, her salary has increased by a certain amount, and this is at an all-time high in the store.

“Omg! That’s amazing, Mom!”

“You’re great?”

As a son, I think he’s a bit braggart, but Han Ae-bom and Oh Hana actively counter that. Her mother is so excited that she doesn’t know what to do.
I guess that’s why she told me to invite my friends to her house, so my mom would buy me drinks every time.
She actually got a lot out of it.
If my mom sees something like that, she’s the kind of person who can’t stop it. Wouldn’t it be great for her to brag about it to young people?
No. The same damn Chairman Han Se-ryong was the one who held on to young people and boasted about himself and gave boring sermons all day long.

‘Even such a great person was like that, so when I get old, I won’t be like that and brag about it to young people, right?’

Oh my god! What kind of crap is that? My face gets hot just thinking about it.

I should never become that kind of adult.

While I was making that promise in my mind, Suah Yoon asked in her excited voice.

“Then… Will my mother look after me kindly?”

“Of course. A person that everyone will like as long as he listens intently to her story and agrees with her… Huh?”

Before I could finish speaking, Yun Su-ah excitedly ran to her mother and knelt in front of her. She said she was ready to listen to the story for 10 hours.
It took less than a minute for the corner of her mother’s mouth to catch her ear as she flinched, probably remembering the situation where Yoon Su-ah was hanging on her knees earlier. Her mother’s voice, now higher in tone, fills her studio apartment. I smiled a little as I looked at her mother who was really excited like a child.
He looks so happy, even though he is in a happy situation…

I feel touched when I remember that the happiest smile in my life was when he bought me a suit upon graduating from college.

“Son! Let’s all eat something delicious together, something delicious! “Mom is shooting today!”

I was lucky that that person was my mother.

Thank you for giving birth to me.

* * *

“Ad! Where should we go! Recommend a delicious place! Mom will buy you anything! Today, my mom who makes a lot of money is shooting!”

The gratitude and emotion I had for my mom collapsed in 3 seconds.

She was already well over 50, but as she showed off her charms like Ohana, I unconsciously avoided my mother who tried to put her arms around her. Lady, it looks like you’ve really got some chicken skin?

“Brother! “Isn’t this too much for Mom?”

“It’s been a while since she came to visit, so why are you so sad?”

“That’s right! Cross your arms, Hyunwoo!”

At this point, I have a reasonable suspicion that I may have been brainwashed without my knowledge. I couldn’t help but fold my arms as the three women’s gaze grew increasingly harsh.

Mom rubs her face in my arm and exclaims.

“Omg. “My son, when did you become so strong?”

“I guess so.”

Unlike me, who answers half-heartedly, when the topic of my body comes up, even the three women join in with bright eyes and chatter.

It’s not a lie, my ears feel like they’re bleeding, and even more so, I feel embarrassed doing this outside the house.

This is why I insisted on ordering delivery, but Hankyu refused, saying it was nonsense.

‘Unlike me, who was stuck at home and only played games, he was someone who always went out to play at least four days a week.’

While she is sighing, her mother is busy looking for a delicious restaurant. The criteria for finding her mother’s restaurant are not that big.
Most fundamentally, there had to be a room. It’s the same with my mom, but I think it’s because there are a lot of people on her mother’s side who have loud voices.

If there was a big event on the same day, my mom would always make a reservation at a restaurant with a room.

It was the same today.

[Noble Pig]

As I searched for a place with a room, I naturally arrived at the entrance of a restaurant that looked expensive.

Even considering it was a Saturday evening, the number of cars filling the insanely large parking lot was already proving the excellence of this store.

“…”

People living a frugal life in a studio apartment couldn’t help but pause.

When my mother saw that, she laughed and shouted even more cheerfully.

“Come on, let’s go in! Because mom will shoot today. Eat comfortably.”

“But, it looks expensive, so we should add a little…” …”

“Uh-huh!”

For the first time today, my mother’s eyebrows furrowed. I feel this every time, but among people in the past, there were definitely types who would never tolerate this.

My mom was one of them.

“Use it! Don’t ever say that again. Where is the money for four kids living alone in a studio apartment? If you go somewhere and say something like that, adults will criticize you. Got it?”

“… Yes.”

Aebom, who suggested Dutch pay, reluctantly nods her head.
Only then did my mom smile brightly and lead us by the arm as we entered her store. I’m still being dragged around with my arms crossed.

“If it’s a room, I think you’ll have to wait for about 25 minutes. “Are you okay?”

“Yes, please do so.”

“Then just write your name and phone number here, and we will contact you as soon as we are ready.”

“All right. Thank you.”

“Thank you. “I will contact you as soon as a position becomes available.”

There was definitely a reason why all the places were doing well.

There were more than a dozen employees moving in unison, and the kindness of all of them was incredible. Since there are a lot of people who come in families, there is no chaos here and there, and it is admirable to see them calmly resolve the issue.

Did you wait about 20 minutes?

When we received a call on our phone and went in, there was already an employee waiting for us.

“I will show you to your room. “There are so many customers right now, so I would appreciate it if you could be a little more careful when moving around.”

“Yes.”

“You can usually order the food you want through the kiosk, but if you don’t want to use the kiosk, or if you want something else.”

An employee who was speaking rapidly coughed once and continued speaking.

“Please ring the bell here and call a staff member, and we will resolve the issue as quickly and kindly as possible.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Yes! Then, have a delicious dinner at our Noble Pig, and if you want anything, please feel free to call us anytime. Thank you.”

The moment the employee nods and bows properly before closing the door.

Everyone made a fuss as if they had been waiting.

“Wow, that’s really kind. “Of all the friendliest employees I’ve ever seen in my life, this would be in the top five?”

“You speak really well.”

“I know. People in Seoul all speak softly like that. It’s perfect.”

Only one person was calm.

“If you look at the prices here, it’s a natural service.”

After listening to Han Ae-bom, I see the prices of meat floating on the kiosk. Everyone’s mouths drop. Oh my god, does that price make sense for 100 grams of pork belly?

“I brought the meat you ordered.”

When I saw the condition of the meat I ordered, I nodded.

On the other hand, it’s not unlimited refills. As expensive meat is limited, grilling is more important than ever. Her mother naturally wanted to take her pliers and her scissors, but she had someone pick them up before her.

“Please leave the grilling of meat to me. Mother!”

The corners of her mother’s mouth rose happily at Yun Su-ah’s confident words.
