Surviving as the male protagonist's stepmother

#3 Tighten the windpipe.

…

강지연

…

강지연

… Did you eat dinner? (awkward)

I broke the awkward silence and spoke to Jeongguk first.

전정국

…

But, there is no response from the government

강지연

…haha

What should I do with this adolescent boy?

강지연

If you haven't eaten, do you want to eat together?

강지연

I haven't eaten dinner yet either.. haha

전정국

…

전정국

…fuck,

bang.-

After saying that, Jeongguk leaves the house.

강지연

… Huh;

What the heck, really;

I'm seriously getting second-year syndrome... ... ..

…

“Ddang”

등장인물

“Thank you, goodbye~”

…

전정국

…under,

전정국

It's so fucking cold,, fuck,,,

Jungkook rolled up his sleeves and came out with the triangle kimbap and drink he had just bought at the convenience store.

전정국

…

Jeongguk has nowhere to go, so he wanders around the streets.

전정국

Should I go to Kim Taehyung… ;

전정국

Ha,, I can't sleep at their house..(*because it's noisy)

전정국

Park Jimin is…,

Jeongguk is so troubled

however

…

…tick-tock..-

Tsk tsk tsk…

???

“Oh, no!!”

Dadadak.-

전정국

…

전정국

…?

Boom.-

전정국

..what,

Something was shining in front of Jeongguk's feet.

전정국

…

전정국

…ring?

Jeongguk picked it up and checked it.

It was a small gold ring that looked quite old.

???

“Oh, that’s mine..!!”

The man chasing the rolling ring shouted urgently.

전정국

ah,

전정국

Oh, yes... here it is. (sigh)

Jungkook hands the ring to the person.

???

"Ah, thank you"

전정국

No, what...

???

“I’m saying this because I’m truly grateful.”

???

“I… should give you something, uh…”

I rummage through my pockets.

전정국

Oh, okay

전정국

I just picked it up because it fell in front of me...;

???

“No,,! Really… I want to do something…”

Gulp

Suddenly, a rather loud growling sound came from ???

???

" ah.. "

??? lowers his head in embarrassment

전정국

…

전정국

…take this,

전정국

It's okay since I haven't eaten yet.

Jungkook just handed over the triangle kimbap and drink he had bought at the convenience store.

???

“Oh, no…”

???

“How can I accept this…!”

???

“You were the one who helped me…”

전정국

Okay, I can buy some more.

widely.-

???

" yes…? "

Jungkook put the triangle kimbap in her hand and went back into the convenience store.

???

" to..? "

And a few minutes later

…

Jungkook came out of the convenience store.

Holding a cup of ramen and a triangle kimbap in one hand

전정국

Haven't you gone yet?

???

“How do I go about receiving this..!!”

전정국

…

전정국

… (snickers)

Jungkook smiled faintly for the first time.

???

“Ah, why are you laughing…?”

전정국

Just like that.

Jeongguk's face becomes serious again

???

“Anyway, I can’t accept this.”

???

“Take it back on the road”

전정국

…

전정국

Let's just eat together.

전정국

That's because I don't have anyone to eat with.

Jungkook said that and swung his chopsticks into the cooked cup ramen.

???

“ …? ”

So ??? ended up sharing a triangle kimbap with Jeongguk.

…

???

“ … ”

전정국

…

The two of them are left alone in this awkward situation...

???

" excuse me.. "

In this silence, ??? speaks first.

전정국

?

???

“Why, do you eat here..?”

???

“It’s cold outside, why don’t you go home and eat?”

전정국

…

전정국

I can't go into the house

???

" yes..? "

전정국

…

전정국

…iced coffee,

전정국

This is going to be a bit long, is that okay?

???

“…What is it?? ”

??? looked at Jeongguk with wide eyes as if curious.

전정국

that is…

…

..

.

3 years ago,

강지연

oh..

강지연

You've grown a lot, Jungkook?

전정국

…because I worked hard,

That person was my private tutor.

강지연

Wow, that's amazing! (Park Park)

Jiyeon patted Jeongguk's head lightly.

전정국

..Ah,, Ssaem,, (Scream)

강지연

Are you going to keep doing this even after you enter high school?

강지연

Got it? (smiles)

전정국

…yes,

She was a bright person with a pretty smile.

and

I had a crush on her for quite some time.

Because it was my first love.

…

..

.

…

Two years later, winter

Before I turned 19,

강지연

Time flies so fast

강지연

Soon, Jungkook will be a senior in high school?

전정국

Yes, that's right

I smiled faintly.

강지연

Which university does Jungkook want to go to?

전정국

I am…

전정국

I am from Korea University.

강지연

?

강지연

Oh, what is it~

강지연

So you're going to be my junior? Haha

전정국

Yes, I intend to do that.

강지연

Lee Yeol,,

강지연

You, then you should study harder~?

강지연

You know? Haha

전정국

… If the teacher can help me, that will be fine

강지연

That's obvious-, Inma~

Jiyeon looked at me with a curious expression.

전정국

… (hwaak)

I set a goal that day.

If I get into Korea University, I will confess to her.

Not between a student and a teacher

I will face her as a man,

I've decided.

…

But, a few days later

My father invited a woman to a family dinner, saying she was going to remarry this year.

전정국

… Really, are you going to remarry?

등장인물

“I’ve already made a reservation for the restaurant.”

전정국

iced coffee..-

등장인물

“Are you worried about becoming a new mother?”

전정국

No, that's not it

전정국

I'm an adult soon, so it doesn't matter.

전정국

I'm fine as long as my father is happy.

전정국

Father, you have your own life too.

등장인물

“ … ”

등장인물

“My child, when did you grow up so much?”

Father smiled happily and lightly patted Jeongguk's head.

전정국

Oh, really…

전정국

Do you think I'm still a 5 year old kid,,;;

Jungkook grumbled and answered, seeming embarrassed by his father's physical contact.

등장인물

"Right, you're all grown up then"

등장인물

“When did I start thinking about my father so much already~”

전정국

… (snickers)

전정국

So, when is the new mom coming?

등장인물

"Hmm,"

등장인물

“I guess we’ve arrived now.”

My father looked towards the restaurant door and said.

Swish

…

???

“I’m sorry, I’m a little late..?”

전정국

?

I immediately turned my head at the familiar voice and checked the person.

however,

why….

강지연

Hello, this is Jiyeon Kang.

The teacher is coming out here..?

전정국

…

As soon as I saw the teacher, I sorted out the situation.

I can't believe it,

I asked.

전정국

Why is the teacher here… .

등장인물

“Jungkook, say hello.”

등장인물

“This is the person who will be your new mother.”

강지연

Hello, Jungkook.. (smile)

Jiyeon greeted me with an awkward smile.

전정국

….

전정국

……….

I couldn't believe it.

This situation right now

This reality

…

It was from then on

I started wandering...

“Jungkook!”

강지연

I have to eat breakfast and go to school..!

전정국

…

bang.-

I left the house, ignoring the delay.

강지연

…

Even after I became a senior in high school, I would wake up early in the morning to avoid delays and make up for the sleep I missed at school.

전정국

…zZ

김태형

What the heck, is this kid sleeping again?

Taehyung asks me while patting me while I'm sleeping.

전정국

….don't touch me, you son of a bitch,,

I became unusually irritable, perhaps because I couldn't sleep.

김태형

Oh, that's scary... ~

박지민

Don't touch him, he can't sleep these days;

김태형

Why, because of that woman again?

전정국

…

Kim Taehyung and Park Jimin knew my situation well.

I guess it's because we've been friends since we were young.

…

김태형

Just get out of the house, what's the problem?

박지민

Where is he going?

박지민

Living under a wealthy father, everything you do is based on your father's money.

박지민

I will live well once I get out.

김태형

…I see,,

김태형

Hmm,

김태형

Then what do we do with him?

박지민

Well, what can I do?

박지민

There is no choice but to endure until you become independent.

김태형

Huh…

전정국

…

Park Jimin was right

I was holding on.

I hope Kang Ji-yeon leaves this house on her own two feet.

however,

The more you do that, the deeper you dig into me.

Knock knock.-

등장인물

“Kids, as of today, teacher ㅇㅇㅇ will be unable to come to work due to parental leave.”

등장인물

“So, we have a new homeroom teacher starting today?”

김태형

Oh, I guess the homeroom teacher has changed (whispering)

김태형

Is it a woman? (whispering)

박지민

I don't know

김태형

I wish I were a woman

김태형

A really pretty woman.

박지민

… crazy guy;

등장인물

“Hello, Jiyeon.”

전정국

…?

강지연

Oh, hello

강지연

From today onwards, I will be your homeroom teacher.

강지연

This is Jiyeon Kang.

전정국

… (pause)

김태형

Wow, it's so pretty?

박지민

Yes, you are a young teacher.

김태형

Wow, teacher is pretty~!!

Taehyung shouted at Jiyeon.

강지연

?

강지연

Oh, thank you.. haha

Jiyeon smiles awkwardly.

강지연

…I haven’t yet memorized all of your names,,

강지연

Even if it takes a while, please wait..!

강지연

then…

전정국

…

강지연

…

I met Jiyeon's eyes.

However, Jiyeon immediately avoided my gaze.

전정국

…

전정국

…under?

I was shocked by Kang Ji-yeon's attitude of coming in on her own two feet and then avoiding me.

Perhaps, that was the moment when the discomfort turned into resentment.

…

..

.

But, that resentment was meaningless

Her father passed away three months after Jiyeon Kang's marriage.

It was such sudden news to me.

…

My father died of cancer.

It was a disease I knew nothing about.

It seems that my father kept that fact hidden until just before he passed away.

why,

Why,

Why on earth,

My father left me and that woman alone.

Why did you leave so indifferently?

I hated that kind of father.

But, I couldn't overcome the sadness of losing my father.

The resentment towards my father also began to fade away.

Let's let it go now

I thought.

…

but,

I couldn't stand this situation where I was left alone with Kang Ji-yeon.

This absurd reality that the woman I had a crush on one day became my father's wife and my stepmother.

I wanted to deny it until the end.

so,

I started to deviate more.

Hoping to get out of here on my own two feet

until the very end

Slowly suffocating her

I've decided.

…

..

.

…

“That’s why I’m like this now.”

…

???

“ … ”

??? suddenly became speechless when he heard Jeongguk's story.

전정국

…lol

전정국

You don't believe it?

전정국

But, this is true.

???

“ … ”

???

“ …just like me”

??? muttered to himself

전정국

?

???

“I have to confess, actually.”

???

“My parents divorced early.”

???

“When I was in elementary school”

???

“My mother suffered greatly from my father’s domestic violence. So I left home with her.”

???

“So, we lived relying on each other, with only our mother as our family…”

???

“My mother passed away in a car accident a year ago.”

전정국

…

???

“Even though I’m alone now, it’s okay.”

???

“I don’t want to live under that kind of father again.”

전정국

…you too

전정국

Life is a bit tiring

???

" lol "

???

"Is that so?"

???

“I don’t know because I’m used to it now.”

전정국

… Well, that’s good

???

"Anyway, thank you for that"

전정국

yes?

???

“Actually, this ring is my mother’s heirloom.”

전정국

ah..

???

" lol "

???

"We've learned a lot about each other."

전정국

Yeah, that's right.

전정국

It's my first time seeing you today... Really...

???

" lol "

???

"It's easier to talk to someone since it's our first time meeting"

???

“Anyway, since it’s someone who has nothing to do with me, I feel more confident.”

전정국

That's true

???

"Since it's come to this, should we make a statement?"

???

“Anyway, I don’t think we’ll see each other again after today.”

???

“I’ll find out your name lol”

전정국

This is Jeon Jungkook.

전정국

My name is Jeon Jungkook.

???

"Oh, I see! Haha"

전정국

What is your name?

???

" lol "

???

" I am… "

김여주

My name is Kim Yeo-ju (smiles)
