I'm from Joseon, Young Master.

30 | Official start of cohabitation

이수민

Oh, you were with a friend?

이수민

Are you doing your homework?

전정국

Yeah, Mom_ That's...

설여주

mom...?

The female protagonist's eyes widened as the word "mother" came out of Jeongguk's mouth.

And then, deep in her heart, the instinct of a Confucian girl(?) that had been dormant for so long awakened.

설여주

Hello, Mother

이수민

Oh, Mom..?

The female protagonist bows down flat in front of Sumin, then carefully kneels down.

Jeongguk, who was watching the scene from behind, was going crazy and jumping for joy.

전정국

Oh, please god...

전정국

'Why are you giving me this ordeal?'

The female protagonist continues talking, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Jungkook is barely holding back the fall by grabbing the back of her neck.

설여주

Girl, Seolga's daughter, Seol Yeo-ju, please come.

설여주

I was chased by foreign troops and ended up in a place I had never seen before -

설여주

Thanks to your help, I am staying here for a while now.

이수민

(Burung - )

Sumin was frozen in place, dumbfounded by the tone and words that seemed to come straight out of a historical drama.

이수민

Yeah, this guy is preparing something like an actor...?

설여주

What is an actor?

설여주

The girl hasn't adjusted to this place yet, so there's a lot she doesn't know.

설여주

There are many differences from Joseon.

설여주

There are many differences from Joseon, huh!

What should I say? _ Jeong-guk, who had been watching anxiously, completely covers Yeo-ju's mouth so she cannot say anything.

전정국

Haha, did he suddenly become senile while doing his homework well?

전정국

Why are you talking nonsense.. lol

Jungkook gives the female protagonist a look with a sad look in his eyes.

But there was no way the female protagonist, who was the embodiment of purity, would understand that.

전정국

ha ha ha...

Even when studying, Jeongguk's brain, which he didn't use, started working quickly.

There are only two choices

Are you still lying?

Or

Are you telling the truth?

The moment I choose the wrong option here, both I and the heroine will be in danger.

Okay, first of all, you keep lying_

I'll somehow get out of here, but it'll be hard to get the heroine to lie.

Besides, if you get caught, you'll be punished more severely.

Then I'll tell you everything_

A gambling game where the odds of living or dying are exactly 50:50.

Even I, as a son, can't imagine what my mother's reaction will be.

Certainly both carry a high risk.

전정국

'but...'

After all, telling the truth is the best option.

전정국

That... Mom...?

전정국

Talk to me for a minute.

이수민

Yeah, uh... okay

전정국

Miss Yeoju, please stay here for a moment.

설여주

(Nodding -)

widely_

이수민

..............

이수민

..............Can you explain this to me so I can understand, son?

As soon as the door closed, Sumin's expression hardened.

Jungkook gulps down dry saliva.

전정국

That's, that's...

이수민

Who is that girl over there?

이수민

What does it mean to live in our house?

이수민

Did you live alone with a woman at home while your mother was away?

전정국

(Hot -)

이수민

And why is your speech like that, as if you're from Joseon?

전정국

(Hot2 -)

전정국

Mom, calm down and listen to me.

이수민

Phew... Okay, tell me where.

Jeongguk cautiously opens his mouth, keeping an eye on Soo-min, who is firing off questions like a machine gun.

전정국

Well... you may not believe it, but...

Taking a deep breath, Jeongguk told Soomin everything that had happened since the day he first met Yeoju.

From receiving the heroine from the cliff to bringing her home and living together, everything

전정국

So, we started living together

이수민

................

전정국

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you in advance.

전정국

I was so out of it too...

이수민

................

Sumin stares into space with her arms crossed, saying nothing.

Jeongguk became even more embarrassed by her lack of response and just watched her.

이수민

.................

전정국

Me... Mom...?

이수민

It's so sad

전정국

uh..?

이수민

How scared must you have been, alone, without family?

이수민

Even though I was out of my mind, I should have told Mom in advance. She was so surprised.

이수민

How long has that guy lived here?

Jungkook can't hide his embarrassment at Soo-min, who is acting cooler than expected.

전정국

Huh... guidance?

이수민

What's there to be angry about?

이수민

It's not like the two of them did anything bad.

전정국

Then... can the heroine stay here forever?

이수민

Are you going to kick out a kid who has nowhere to go?

이수민

If you bring them, you have to take responsibility for them until the end.

전정국

(Wide open - ) Thank you, Mom..!

Thanks to Sumin's open-mindedness, Jungkook smiled, his worries lifted.

Contrary to my worries, Sumin didn't seem to care much about Yeoju.

이수민

By the way, that friend is really pretty.

이수민

Like a girlfriend or something like that?

Sumin looks at Jeongguk with a sly smile.

Perhaps Jeongguk's mischievous antics are a product of his mother's example.

전정국

That's not it..!!

이수민

It's suspicious that you're suddenly raising your voice.

전정국

Oh, and Mom too...

전정국

Stop kidding around and talk to your dad.

이수민

Okay, okay

전정국

'It feels a little uneasy, though...'

I think it's been resolved well

It's all thanks to you, readers! Thank you😌💜
