Chapter 42 – Mom’s Talk to Herself

Coin came in just fine.
However, even though the number of items was similar to that of my mother, the amount of coins received was obviously small.
About 50-70% of each item? Is this the difference between a main partner and a sub partner?

In addition, it is said that the coin received in this way is divided in half with the partner.
This can’t be helped My mother and I share a coin, but Seung-hee and I are separate. If I don’t divide this in half, it’s like paying me and Seunghee twice, so I get more coins when I play with the sub partner than the main partner. Then there would be no reason to do it with the main partner.

“But if this is the case, there is no reason to do it with Seunghee.”

As a result, the coin that came to me was only about 30% of what it was with my mother.
Personally, I prefer doing it with my mother. If there were fewer coins, I didn’t have the merit of working with Seung-hee instead of my mother.

After all, I wasn’t going to take them in from the beginning.
Once accepted, it is difficult to get rid of.

“… Should I just wait until Seungpil saves him?”

The coins that Seunghee and I received this time were roughly 400 each.
It’s the first time, so if it’s a little generous, the next time it will be less. Even if you collect hard, it will take two or three months.

“Three months…”

It was by no means a short period.

It is a difficult world to survive on a daily basis. It was hard to imagine being able to live without any crisis for several months.

For now, let’s just think about saving Seungpil. If Seung-pil is saved, Seung-hee can be left to Seung-pil. So far, I think I’ve done enough.

The problem is… It’s about how Seunghee comes out.

“Hey. It’s Seunghee. Wake up.”

Seunghee completely fainted. Even shaking it didn’t show any signs of getting up.

“If you don’t wake up, can you touch me?”
“Ew…”

Using Seung-hee’s not waking up as an excuse, he tries to manipulate her breasts.
Seunghee’s breasts fit into one hand. It was nice to touch when I was free.

“I still have a lot to say.”

I had to tie a knot with Seunghee.
We will stay here together until Seungpil is saved.

Seunghee didn’t want to be with Seungpil before.
Even if he saves Seung-pil, he might say that he hates living with Seung-pil.

Besides, judging from the reaction during sex, there was a possibility that he might become obsessed with me.
It’s not uncommon for a woman to have special feelings for a man she’s having a relationship with for the first time. In particular, after months of living together in such a special environment, even a normal person would become dependent.

I had to draw the line beforehand. It’s hard to have even romantic feelings for nothing.

“Ugh…”

Seunghee grabbed my hand as I was massaging my chest.
When I checked to see if he was awake, he was talking in his sleep. He was still asleep, not knowing the world.

“… Shall we talk about complicated things tomorrow?”

Looking at that dumbfounded face without thinking, I, who only thought of troublesome things, became like an idiot on the contrary.

Hey.
So, I also decided to sleep next to Seunghee.
Sleeping when you can sleep is important.

* * *

“Yes…”

In a dark cave where everyone sleeps.
Inside, there was a person who quietly opened his eyes alone.
It was Changjae’s mother.

“Ah…”

Even when he was drunk, he was in a daze.

Where is this?
This is not the bed you normally sleep in.
Anxiety overtook her at waking up in an unfamiliar place.

“Oh.”

Then, all of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain.
Belly. And a feeling of discomfort in the genital area.

Even there, I remembered. What was she doing before falling asleep?

“Ah…”

My stomach started to heat up.
It reminds me of my son who was absorbed in himself as a ‘woman’.

Face flushes with shame.
Even though no one was watching, he covered himself with a blanket.

Before her sleep, she bonded with Chang-jae, her stepson.
A relationship that should never exist under normal circumstances.
However, this abnormal environment drove them down the path of sin.

The mother was embraced by her son, and the son sowed her seed to her mother.
As rumors whispered behind their hats by some lowly people, the two entered forbidden territory.

However, he did not regret it in the slightest.
No, on the contrary, she regretted that she hadn’t allowed her son earlier.

‘Mother. I love you as a man, not as a son.’

About a year ago.
As the now grown-up son said, he hugged himself tightly.

The son was also a man. She felt fear at her son for the first time even in her strong arms that held him.

‘I’ll make her mother happy instead of her father.’

It was a shock.
The fact that his son saw him as a woman made him feel betrayed.

Even so, she hadn’t even thought about how deeply thought the words came out, how serious her son was when he brought up such a story.
At the time, he hadn’t thought of how much his son who had been rejected would be hurt.

She raised her Changjae as her biological son.
However, not everyone around him accepted it as it was.

Not a real mother The difference in age is only 10 years. Father is absent.
When those elements were added, this unusual hat naturally became a topic of conversation from people around it.

In addition, as the young Changjae grew up, rumors began to gain unnecessary weight.
It was said that the two were in fact in an immoral relationship.

If she had heard such a story openly, she would have strongly refuted it.
But most of them were whispered behind their backs, so denying it for nothing would only backfire.

‘It doesn’t matter if you’re not my real mother, if the age difference is small, if you don’t have a father. As Changjae’s mother, I will raise him without any shame.’

She believed that no matter who spreads any rumors, it is fine as long as she is innocent.
That’s why her son’s confession may have come as a shock to Seol-ryeong.

What if that rumor turns out to be true?
And what if that fact is known?

She doesn’t care what kind of treatment she gets. However, it was unbearable for her son to be treated like that by others.

Changjae is a child with a bright future. Before Chang-jae goes down the wrong path, she, as a mother, must lead her on the right path herself, she thought.

‘Wake! I am your mother, and you are my son!’

So, Seolyeong hit Changjae hard.
He slapped his son on the cheek for the first time and scolded him loudly.

The incident left a deep scar on both of them.

That night, Chang-jae left the house, went to his friend’s house, and soon volunteered to enlist in the army.
Seol-ryeong, who hadn’t heard anything from Chang-jae, found out after a while that his son had gone to the army.

And it took a year for the two to face each other again.

1 year.
That year was spent only in regret.

If only I had accepted my son’s heart at that time.
Or if you were a little more calm.
If I had talked about it again the day after my mind was organized.

A constant regret welled up in Seol-ryong’s chest.

Her son was everything to her. He was the only one who filled the empty heart.
A year without a son was just a day of futility and regret.

Seol-ryeong waited for her son to return in an empty house without her son for a year.

He cleaned the house so that he would be fine when he returned.
She often made food that her son liked and threw it away.
He couldn’t easily leave the house, thinking that he might be confused when he went on a surprise vacation.

However, not a single phone call or letter came from Changjae.
It was the same when on vacation. He never came home.

If this continues, the relationship may end forever.
Such anxiety built up in Seolyeong’s chest.

There was no blood between the two.
Moreover, she was entrusted with the role of her mother by Chang-jae’s father, but technically, legally, they were South-South. The relationship between the two mothers was made only by acknowledging that each other was a mother and father.

If Chang-jae decides to cut ties with her, this thread-like ties will be severed.
It was scary. At this rate, the anxiety that her son might not return forever began to take on reality.
In the end, even though she knew that she would be a nuisance to Chang-jae, she went to the unit where Chang-jae worked without saying anything.

In the end, the two were able to reconcile dramatically at the meeting, but the anxious memories of that time are still deeply rooted in Seol-ryeong’s heart.

Survival on an uninhabited island with Changjae that happened to start.
There were scary things, but with her beloved son, she could bear it.

Okay.
No matter what happened, as long as Changjae was by his side, he was confident that he would overcome it.

“… Are you Changjae?”

Carefully call his son by name.
No answer came back.
The dragonfly is cool.

I soon got used to the darkness, and the scenery inside the cave came into my eyes a little.
Seolyeong was the first to find the figure of her beloved son.

“…”

There was.
On the mattress right across.
Changjae was asleep while hugging another girl.

“…”

Sting.
There was a crack in her chest.

I didn’t even know what the pain was.
It was just that his friendly appearance suited him so well that it somehow made him feel sad.

Unlike herself, Seung-hee is young and pretty.
Even if she was thirty, she may be young to be a mother, but she was too old to be a woman.
Clearly, Seunghee seemed to get along better with Changjae than herself, who had lived as a mother and child until now.

“…”

Sting.
Her heart grew cold.
That loneliness reminded me of the past year when I couldn’t meet Changjae.

It was none other than himself who asked to accept Seunghee. Rather, Changjae tried to drive him away.

Accepting Seunghee means that. Because in order to live here, you have to have a relationship with a man and a woman. And in order to save Seung-hee’s older brother, Chang-jae needed to be with Seung-hee.

If so, it would be an adult act for her to give up her turn to Seung-hee. Because I can’t show my ugly side in front of Changjae.
Okay. She knows with her head. I know but…

“…”

Sting.
She didn’t even know what this feeling swirling in her heart was.
