Side Story (9)
Beep- beep- beep-
An electronic sound coming from the door lock. A light but heavy dull noise knocked on my heart.
“It’s ruined… “
I spat out three words that could explain the situation and quickly headed for the front door. Luna, who was in her living room, peeked out her face out of curiosity.
“Mister, what’s going on? Someone knocked on the door!”
“You, you stay there! Gather all the other kids in the living room! Got it?”
“Hmm, looks like something happened! I’m a good kid, so I’ll do as you say!”
Yes, just for today, please be a good child.
I swallowed to cool my burning throat. Then, with a big heart, I headed for the front door. There, I was reunited with my parents after a long time.
“… Welcome.”
“Yes, long time no see. Junwoo.”
Awkward air flow.
However, hiding the hero’s party is much more awkward on my side. My mother must have noticed my mood and started taking off my high heels. Fashion was still the perfect career woman look.
“… “
“Your shoes have grown.”
“… Yes, it happened that way.”
“How come?”
Hoop-
Mother frowned at me.
‘That’s what you’re going to say now?’ She seemed to be saying.
‘I was anxious from the text… Do you already know?’
The source of information is probably the principal. After that day, I got a call from my mother after a long time.
“Haa… “
I sighed and murmured, almost half giving up.
“… First of all, come in. It’s been a long time since I’ve been home. Come and talk slowly.”
My mother smiled and answered while putting on slippers.
“That’s what I’m going to say, Junwoo.”
That’s how I was forced to introduce the hero’s party to my mother.
***
“… “
“… “
“… “
Huruloop-
A table in silence.
The warrior party and I sat in front of my mother as if I had come to an interview.
Hare whispered in my ear in a cold voice, perhaps misunderstanding this situation.
“Ah, mister… Who is this woman… ? You can come in and out of the house at will… Seo, I can’t believe the uncle’s-“
“This is my mother.”
“Sah, I actually knew…” They all look alike… Lol… “
Anyway.
My mother was drinking coffee calmly watching us.
What do you think, what do you say?
I couldn’t have predicted it at all.
“Jun-woo.”
“Yes, yes?!”
“How long do I have to wait?”
Ah.
Did you wait for me to explain it first?
‘Yes, it has always been like this. I used to wait for you to say the wrong thing first.”
I glanced at my mother and said.
“That… To put it simply, these are children from other countries.”
“What if it is difficult to understand?”
“They are from another world.”
“Ummm… “
My mother frowned as if she couldn’t understand.
‘Of course it must be difficult to understand. How will they understand if I suddenly say that they are children from another world?’
However, it seemed that he was trying to understand whether he judged that there was no reason for me to lie.
“A different world. Certainly, it was made in an exotic way. Umm… “
“It’s hard for me to understand too, so I just think of it as someone from another country.”
“Yes, I mean from another country… “
In that case.
“Why are those kids gathering at my house? Can you answer that?”
“That makes sense-“
“That’s it! I am! That brave Luna will explain to her mother!”
Flash-!
Luna shouting with her hand raised. Her mother smiled as if she was intrigued by Luna’s appearance.
“Mother… hmm, yes Please speak on behalf of my son. What are you my son?”
“Me! As the uncle’s disciple! I am the hero who was kidnapped by you!”
“… Did you kidnap people?”
Mother.
What do you think of me?
You shouldn’t look at your son with such contempt.
“… Please listen to the words of the children with prejudice. It is a story from another world.”
“Really? If so, I’ll try.”
A mother who listens with prejudice.
Her Luna and her children explained me in another world to her.
The mother looked disbelief at first, but as she listened to the children’s dense story, her expression gradually changed.
She looked like she still couldn’t believe it though. It was something I was trying to believe.
“Summarizing the story, you are saying that you came after our son, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. We came from another world to meet you.”
“Why?”
“Because you abandoned us and ran away.”
At Saten’s words, my mother looked at me with a serious expression and said.
“You are absolutely right. I have to take responsibility. If your son has a baby, will he run away?”
“No, that’s different. More than that, I don’t even remember?”
“Is it over if I say I can’t remember? Will your son ask you to look after him because he doesn’t remember driving drunk?”
“… No.”
Mother finally relaxed her expression as if she was satisfied.
“Yes, if you were born as a man, you have to take responsibility. Son than that.”
“Yes?”
“Can you go outside for a while?”
“Why, why?”
My mother looked at the warrior party one by one and said.
“Because women have something to say. So, would you like to go outside for a minute?”
A grinning mother.
Please don’t let those undersocialized brutes make mistakes.
I walked out the front door with an uneasy mind.
***
“Did you say your name was Luna?”
“Yes, yes! Mother!”
Interview at the warrior party where Lee Jun-woo disappeared.
First, Luna was being interviewed by her mother.
‘I must look good!’
Gulp-
Luna is nervous about the interview.
Mother seemed pitiful for such a look, and said in a soft tone.
“I’m only going to ask simple questions, so there’s no need to be so nervous. Aren’t you thirsty?”
“Joe, you are a little dry!”
“Now then, have a coke and talk.”
Cola.
A drink I stole and ate at dawn.
Luna shoved her Coke down her throat, her eyes twinkling.
“Drink!”
“By the way, what do you think of our son?”
“Pu-sup-!”
Cool- Cool-
Luna felt a sting in her throat at her embarrassing question.
“That, that man is a man! He always thinks he wants to be with you!”
“Then, she wants to be a lover. Would you mind if I said she was thinking that way?”
“That, that… !!”
Luna noticed the other children. ‘You’d better be straight,’ Hare muttered, while Saten focused on Luna’s mouth, her brow furrowed.
Estiya also pricked up her ears, lowering her head at her drowsiness.
“With my son… I want to be in a relationship like that. You mean that?”
“That, that… “
“Please answer honestly. Probably because Korea is monogamous.”
“Boo, I have one wife!”
Bulkkeok-!
Luna jumped up from her seat and shouted loudly.
“That hero, Luna! To be honest, I want to have a relationship like that with you, mother!!”
“Mmm, that’s how I want to be.”
“Yes!!”
The gaze of the cold warrior party.
On the other hand, the mother’s face was smiling.
“It’s fortunate, if there is a kid like you, Jun-woo won’t be lonely either. After all, my family has to travel abroad often, and we can’t stay at home for long.”
“What are you doing?!”
“It’s about sending things to other countries or managing warehouses. I have to go abroad a lot to open a new path. You also have to be neat. Warehouse management is mostly done by my husband.”
“That’s right!”
She didn’t quite understand, but Luna replied confidently. There was always a smile on her mother’s lips as if she liked that look.
Luna had the power to make those around her smile.
“Me too… ! I like you uncle… ! Uh, mother… !”
“You?”
“Ha, it’s Hare… ! I-I can be confident that I like you more than anyone else… !!”
Hare the next batter.
Hare started shouting as her hands trembled as if she thought she couldn’t be pushed by Luna.
“I-I… I love you very much… ! Gosh, I want to get married… !”
“It’s a marriage. Do you have the confidence that your heart will never change?”
“Never… If it changes… I will kill myself for changing… I can never forgive myself for changing my mind… “
“No, there is no need to kill yourself.”

Still.
‘I can understand how you feel about my son. I’m so nervous that my voice trembles and I think I’m a bit clumsy.’
A mother who highly values the thinking mind itself. She turned her gaze to Saten, who was sitting next to Hare.
As if Saten had waited, she stood up and greeted her politely, grabbing the hem of her skirt.
“Hello, mother. My name is Saten. Nice to meet you.”
The moment Saten finished greeting her. Luna and Hare realized their mistake.
‘Have I been too polite?! No, drink plenty of Coke!’
‘That, that vile Saten… I’m alone and it’s annoying… ‘
It is rare to find someone who hates polite people. Saten won and entered from the beginning. Her mother asked lightly at her.
“Because I said it was a different world… nobility?”
“Yes, I am Saten of noble origin, Mother. I also want to be with you until the day I die. The emotion I have is the love I learned from you. I want you to take that feeling away.”
Saten speaks her opinion out loud.
As her mother’s expression relaxed, Hare muttered, biting her lip.
“… I am not a noble anymore.”
“Be quiet. Me and my mother are talking together, aren’t we?”
“… “
“Anyway, Mother. I hope you will consider my opinion carefully.”
Nodding off-
That’s how Saten’s turn came to an end, the interview.
Lee Jun-woo’s mother turned her attention to the last remaining Estiya to ask a question.
However, she couldn’t ask.
“I… With my brother… Will you be… Alone… Nah….”
Nodding- Nodding-
Estiya nodded regularly and uttered the same words as though a tape recorder was turned on.
Seeing that, the mother asked Luna.
“… What is that child’s name?”
“This is Estiya!”
“Yes, I see.”
Ending with nodding his head and laying Estiya on the bed. The score of the interview was not disclosed, and the interview of the warrior party came to an end.
