[Contest 2] The Wolves' Parenting Diary

Episode 3: The Chocolate Incident

Werewolves-

As we lived together, we realized that they were not the strange beings we usually think of. They were just children, no different from humans.

...kids who seem even younger than humans.

To find out about the three musketeers who came to live in our house, I went into the green window, typed 'wolf' in the search bar, and started searching.

Then, the moment I tried to look into the visible encyclopedia of plants and animals,

다니엘

"What are you doing, sister?"

여주

"Oh my gosh! This is a surprise."

The moment I saw Daniel talking to me, I was so surprised that I threw my phone far away. Oh, that was the new product that just came out.

Even if I regret it, who should I blame? Daniel picked up the phone he'd thrown away earlier and quietly placed it in my hand.

Yes, there was no way I wouldn't have thought of it. I calmed something boiling inside me and gave Daniel a firm pat on the head. Feeling the urge to live, Daniel knelt silently.

다니엘

"...Please save me, Sister."

No, run away before my fist flies. Then Daniel turns into a wolf and runs outside.

Since they started living in our house, I've become a little scared because I've become accustomed to the accidents that happen every day.

성우

"Sister, I'm hungry... Please give me some food..."

민현

"Guys. Don't touch me... (gulp)"

A voice actor crawls out with shocking visuals from the morning. Daniel runs to the kitchen at the sound of "food" and starts searching. Min-hyun tries to stop them, but is silenced by the sound of his stomach.

Raising three boys who whine about being hungry at every opportunity is no easy feat. Honestly, they eat so much that it's embarrassing to feed them nothing but ramen three meals a day, so food costs are no joke.

After making dinner like that, I collapsed on the sofa. Raising three kids without even being married yet? It's a story that would be shocking to anyone.

Ah, there was no one to even pretend to be amazed by me. I swallowed back silent tears as I watched the three musketeers run wild. Living together wasn't a place for people to live.

민현

"Guys, if you're done eating, you should clean up."

Thanks to Minhyun, who would always jump at the chance to help with cleaning, I was able to live at home. It was a blessing in disguise, but other than that, nothing else had improved.

As expected, the voice actor who had followed Daniel into the kitchen came running in a hurry and said.

성우

"Hey, sister! Niel is foaming at the mouth...!"

Ah, life-

To find out the truth of the matter, I dragged Daniel in and laid him on the bed. He seemed completely frozen, transformed into a wolf.

여주

"So, you're saying that you ate something from the cupboard and suddenly this happened?"

성우

"Yes. I kept saying it was delicious and wanted to eat more, but I ended up passing out."

여주

"What on earth did you eat... There's probably no decent food in our house."

I was serious. Not only was it not a place for people to live, but the odds of having decent food in our house, where we barely managed to survive on ramen every day, were slim. I didn't even know what I was eating every day.

민현

“Shouldn’t you go to the hospital?”

I wanted to do it right away, but I couldn't. It was obvious that a normal civilian would be suspected of raising a wolf. And if that happened, we might have to part ways again, like Chichi.

Because they didn't like that, they laid Daniel down comfortably on the bed and began to ponder. "So, isn't there another way?" Then, a thought struck them.

여주

"Oh, that's right! There's a vet run by an older brother I know. If you take him there, he'll help you."

Since it was safer there than other general animal hospitals, I carefully took care of Daniel and quickly headed to the hospital.

하성운

"Welcome... Oh, my lady! It's been a while."

Seong-woon, who had discovered Yeo-ju entering his hospital, greeted her warmly, saying he was happy to see her. However, because she had run in a hurry, she spoke to Seong-woon out of breath.

여주

"Brother, could you please check on this kid? He's been eating weird stuff and foaming at the mouth..."

He carefully handed Daniel, whom he had been holding in his arms, to Seong-un. He carefully examined Daniel, who was still frozen, then decided to go inside, put on a gown, and headed to the hospital room.

A strange tension flowed from the steps taken as they hurriedly headed to the hospital room.

하성운

"Um...what on earth did you eat? Did anyone see you picking it up and eating it?"

성우

"Uh... it was small and black... and it smelled sweet."

"Small, black, and sweet, maybe?" I exclaimed, the word suddenly popping into my head.

여주

"Oh, my chocolate... chocolate?"

Then all eyes turned to Daniel. A quick sniff revealed a pungent odor, accompanied by the distinct scent of chocolate.

If you imagine the situation at that time, Daniel was hungry even after finishing the ramen, so he rummaged through the cupboard and ate one of the chocolates I had hidden, and that's how he ended up like that.

하성운

"Oh my... If I ate the wrong chocolate, I could have died, but it was only a small amount, so it's fortunate. Don't worry, I'll feel better soon after vomiting for a while."

하성운

"If there's something urgent or you're really worried, I'll give you some medicine. Otherwise, you can recover here and go."

여주

"...Thank you, Seongwoon oppa."

As the nebula cleared, silence flowed, then lingered. The witnesses, perhaps stunned, looked slightly relieved, while the person involved lay stretched out, oblivious to the burning in his stomach.

I was confused about whether I should be worried about this or scold him. Even if I was worried about his pain, he was just eating whatever he wanted, so I figured he should come to his senses now.

다니엘

"Wow..."

Daniel stood up, his head throbbing as if he were about to vomit. He clutched his head, feeling dizzy, and looked around before asking.

다니엘

"Where the hell am I...? Uh, why am I here?"

여주

"...I'm fine now."

민현

"From now on, don't eat anything you pick up. Especially not anything black or sweet-smelling."

Putting aside his feelings of shame, he tried to take Daniel home, who was still oblivious to what had happened to him.

Still, he's human—he probably knows what he did wrong. Surely, I wanted to believe that wouldn't be the case. I wanted to believe that, but any hope of that happening has long since vanished.

성우

"Sister, he keeps coming into the kitchen looking for food. How about banning him from the kitchen?"

여주

"...Tie him up so he can't move. Or I'll order something for him."

Until this morning, I had been searching for "wolf" in the green window and quickly moved my keyboard. Then, the white search bar revealed the words "puppy case."

I thought I'd order something pretty while I was at it. After looking around a few times, I found this case and ordered it. I was instantly filled with pride and a sense of elation. I don't know when I'll get to use it, but I think it'll be quite useful.

Ultimately, the three days of twists and turns concluded with the simple fact that Daniel was in charge of accident prevention. It seems he'll need special, focused supervision.

민현

"Seongwoo, you know you shouldn't eat that, right? Put it down carefully."

성우

"No... I'll eat this... (gulp)"

Of course, we shouldn't let others down either. Locking the refrigerator has reduced the number of accidents where people stumble and fall over after eating something.

여주

"...Minhyun, I only trust you."

Then, Minhyun quietly took the key and carefully placed it in his arms. Wherever they went, food was the most important thing for the three brothers. Why didn't I know that Minhyun was included in that too?

민현

"...(mumble mumble)"

여주

"......"
