21. Mom, pop!
The theory that the fluttering of a small butterfly’s wings can cause a typhoon on the other side of the globe, the theory of the butterfly effect.
The person who first published this theory was a meteorologist who observed the weather.
He set up this theory, saying that the Earth’s weather could change even with small events.
In later generations, this theory was not
Many have abused it to mean that a small action or event will lead to a big event.
And now I,
I was experiencing the butterfly effect theory in real time.
“Huh, black. Whoops.”
Taking a walk just to pass the time,
Called the special examiner,
In the end, he even brought up his mother’s sorrowful tears.
… The butterfly effect is no joke.
Currently, I am sitting on the sofa in the living room, concentrating on comforting her mother, who is crying sadly in my arms.
I stroked the back of her mother, who was crying in my arms, and turned my gaze to her mother’s face.
Even though it had been a long time since she burst into tears, my mother was still shedding tears like chicken droppings.
I heard that crying consumes more energy than expected, but I started to worry about my mother.
No, energy aside…
At this point, I was worried that dehydration might be coming from a lack of water.
I thought I should at least bring some water because I couldn’t go on like this.
However, judging from the current situation, I decided that it was impossible on my own.
In fact, that’s what the expression says. In reality,
Rather than having my mother in my arms because of the difference in physique, it was like being in my mother’s arms.
Besides, she was holding me tightly around my waist with the momentum that she would never let go of.
Haa, what kind of nonsense is this?
Well, judging from the fact that the crying has subsided now, you seem to have calmed down a bit.
“Eh… excuse me… mother? Have you calmed down a bit?”
“Huh. Black.”
My mother just buried her face in my shoulder and let out sobs.
“Mother, aren’t you thirsty?”
I asked my mother in a worried voice.
To my question, my mother answered with a voice that still had the tinge of crying.
“Huh, black. Little.”
“Can I get you some water?”
“Black. sh*t, i don’t like it Whoops. Fall off Black.”
“Ah… is it so?”
My mother seemed to really not want to leave me, so she hugged me a little tighter.
This can’t be helped.
“Then, shall we go get some water together?”
“Black….”
Fortunately, at my recommendation, my mother slowly nodded her head and expressed her affirmation.
“Before that, black. Just one favor, please.”
“Yes?”
At my mother’s words of a request, I tilted my head and looked at my mother.
“What kind of request is it?”
“Will you listen?”
From noble mtl dot com
My mother spoke like a spoiled child.
It was my first time seeing a mother like this, so I was a little embarrassed, but on the other hand, I felt her mother was cute.
First of all, the priority was to appease my mother, so I nodded in agreement.
“Yes, I will listen.”
“From now on, not mother, keep calling me mother.”
“… Yes?”
“Black. If you call me mother, hehehe. I felt a sense of distance, hehehe, I hate it.”
… I see
In other words, I wanted to show my respect, so I called her mother rather than mother.
Rather, she felt that her mother felt distant and that she did not like it. I never dreamed that you would feel that way.
I fully understood her mother’s words, so she smiled bitterly and nodded her head.
“You felt that way… I’m sorry, Mom.”
“… Oh no Black. My son is good, even mom knows.”
My mother rather comforted me, wiping the tears from her eyes.
Fortunately, the tears seemed to have stopped now, so I thought to myself that it was fortunate.
“Then, would you like to go get some water?”
“Okay, let’s go.”
After hearing my mother’s answer, I tried to stand up, but my mother acted faster.
My mother did not let go of me and got up from her seat without holding me.
If it was the same as usual, he would have asked me to come down because it was okay, but now I just kept quiet, meaning to do as my mother would like.
My mother went to the kitchen with me in her arms, took out two cups from the teacup, and got water from her water purifier.
She first handed me the cup in which she drank water, then she started to fill in the other cup.
I was feeling strangely moved by my mother who took care of me first even though she must be thirsty.
Like that, I drank water on good terms with my mother.
“Huh-.”
“Whoa—.”
I drank all the water and met my mother’s eyes.
And then, as if we had knitted it together, my mother and I looked at each other and smiled.
“Whoops.”
“hehehe.”
My mother stroked my hair once and then moved to the sofa in the living room.
“By the way, son. Who were you talking to earlier?”
“Call? … Ah.”
Oh, that’s right.
I completely forgot that I was talking to the examiner.
Listening to my mother’s words, I finally remembered the phone call, and opened my mouth while looking at the receiver that was still scattered on the living room floor.
“That, I was on the phone with the special examiner I met yesterday.”
“… Is he What did he call you for?”
“Well, he knew I was out, too.”
“… Hmm.”
My mother had a meaningful expression on her face, and she didn’t say anything. She just listened to me.
“You called because I was out.”
“Really? … What do you say?”
“Um, that was too careless… You said.”
“… What? Ha, how dare you tell my son?”
My mother, hearing me, snorted in her bewildered expression.
She then muttered in a small voice. To the point where I couldn’t hear it properly.
“Haa, you act as if you allowed that to happen. I was trying to be nice….”
“… Yes?”
“Yes, no. It’s something my son doesn’t have to know about.”
My mother softened her expression and, as if nothing really happened, she stroked my hair.
Hmm, no big deal.
But…
My mother doesn’t say anything about the part where I went out.
It seemed like I was digging my own grave, but I was curious, so I carefully opened my mouth and asked my mother.
“But… Oh my, Mom doesn’t say anything about me going out.”
“Hmm? Oh that’s it? Mmm.”
As if her mother was trying to choose her words, she thought for a moment, then opened her mouth.
“To be honest… When I first heard the news, my mother was very surprised that her son had gone out alone. But I mean.”
My mother looked at me with her warm eyes and went on with her words.
“On the one hand, I thought that my son was proud of me. Whoops, going out alone… After all, he is our son. After all, my son is great.”
Truth be told, I was scared and worried that I might be scolded…
Contrary to my expectations,
Far from scolding my mother, She
She said that she was proud of me and complimented me wholeheartedly.
When I heard what my mother said, I was so moved that my heart throbbed and cried.
Ah…
She is also my mother.
I was so emotional that I just silently hugged my mother.
“Hmm? Whoops. Why?”
“… Just. I wanted to do this, Mom.”
“Ho-ho, so?”
My mother gave me a short laugh and hugged me tighter.
As my mother gently stroked my back, she whispered in my ear in a sweet voice.
“And on the other hand… Of course…
I was worried a lot.”
“… ….”
“My good son, you know what she was trying to say without you saying more?”
“… Yes. I’m sorry for worrying you. I will be careful in the future.”
“Huh, yes. Side.”
My mother gave me a light kiss on the cheek and stroked my hair.
“Then, did the examiner call to confirm that?”
“Oh, and uhm, you said you wanted to talk to your mom.”
“… So? … Tsk.”
The mother clicked her tongue briefly, with her flustered face, as if something was not to her liking.
“… Great. I need to clean things up right now.”
“… Yes?”
“Oh, no. Wait, my mother was talking to herself.”
My mother evaded my question, and this time she kissed her on the opposite cheek.
“Mmm, side. Son, could you stay in the living room for a minute? Mom will call the examiner in her room and come over.”
“Yes. Okay.”
“Ayu~ that’s nice.”
My mother gave me a pat on the back and put me down on the sofa.
She then went on with her words, clapping her hands lightly, as if she had remembered something.
“Oh really. The manager will come home soon.
If the manager comes while I’m on the phone with mom, will your son open the door for you?”
“Yes. I will.”
“Yes. Son, thank you~”
My mother leaned over and gave me a light hug, then took her smart phone and went into her room.
Just as my mother said, I decided to wait quietly on the sofa in the living room.
Not long after that, just as her mother had said, the doorbell sounded announcing a visitor.
Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~
As soon as I heard that sound, I got up from my seat and approached the wall where the intercom was hanging.
Looking at the intercom, I saw that the green LED above the call button was on. I pressed the call button and spoke into the intercom.
“Yes. Who are you?”
「…… To? Oh, that… Hey, maybe your son… ?」
A familiar voice came from the intercom.
As my mother said, the voice of the manager who was scheduled to visit was clear.
“Manager?”
「Ah! That’s right. Uh… hello?”
“Yes, hello.”
「That, sister… No, I stopped by because I was running errands for senior Yoonhee….」
“Yes. I heard it from my mother. I will open the door now.”
I pressed the button again to end the call and walked towards the front door.
Receiving the intercom was easy, but
I didn’t know how to open the door with the intercom function yet, so I wanted to open the front door myself.
Arriving at the front door, I unlocked the door lock and opened the door.
When I opened the door, the manager with a familiar face was standing in front of the door.
“Welcome~”
After opening the door, I greeted the manager.
And the manager who received my greeting,
“… Wow.”
He burst into admiration like exclamation.
The manager stared at me with a thrilled face, then muttered in a low voice.
“…… They say that it is a woman’s dream to be greeted by a man when she returns home, and you weren’t wrong.”
“… Yes? A romance?”
“―Whoops! My, did I say it with my mouth?! Sorry!”
The manager bowed his head and apologized to me with a face as if he had committed it in the end.
“Ji, I really committed a mortal sin! If you’re offended, I can do something!—”
“Ahahahaha, it’s okay. I was offended.”
“Sorry! I’m really sorry!”
Even when I said it was okay, the manager kept bowing his head to me.
Feeling the manager’s behavior rather burdensome, I shook her hand to restrain her action and opened her mouth.
“It’s really good. Please stop raising your head.”
“Gee, I’m really sorry.”
At my words, the manager deeply bowed her head one last time to apologize, then lifted her head.
She then held out her hand towards me, in which was a rectangular black crossbody bag.
“This is the laptop you asked for yesterday.”
“Huh? Wow!”
I thought it was a laptop bag!
When I reached out my hand out of joy, she held the laptop bag so that I could easily carry it and carefully handed it to her.
Fearing that I might drop it, I held the laptop bag in my arms.
“Thank you so much! Oh, it’s not like this. Would you like to come in?”
“Oh, no. I had something to do, so I was just going to deliver this.”
“Is that so? I’m sorry.”
You dared to come to my house while you were busy…
I looked at her with her eyes mixed with half gratitude and half regret at not being able to serve her a glass of water.
Her eyes met mine and she twitched her mouth, then she averted her gaze from me.
Eh? Why?
“Ahh… It’s truly terrifying destructive power…. Oh, I almost made a mistake again…
Well, I’m going to leave. I would appreciate it if you could say something well to senior Yoonhee.”
“Yes, I will tell you well.”
I replied with a wide smile.
“Kuhm, hmm. Then, see you next time.”
“Yes~ Go in carefully~”
The manager twitched his lips as if he had a convulsion, then quickly turned around and left.
Mmm, facial muscle spasm…
Are you deficient in vitamins?
I looked at the back of the manager and worried for a moment, then went back into the house.
More than that, the laptop is finally here!
Shinra!
Would it be okay to try it right now?
So I went into the living room and hummed as I searched for a concert to connect to my laptop.
Huhu, this won’t be boring for a while!
