Surviving as the male protagonist's stepmother

#6 Cold

…

“Have you been there?”

강지연

Oh, yes

등장인물

“But, what is all this, ma’am?”

The housekeeper asks, looking at the black envelope in my hand.

강지연

Oh, just this and that..

강지연

Because I wanted to eat pajeon and makgeolli.. haha

강지연

haha

등장인물

“Oh, then tell me...”

등장인물

“Please, I’ll make you some pancakes quickly, ma’am.”

강지연

..yes?

강지연

No, no!

강지연

I'll eat this..!

강지연

The lady has to get off work.

등장인물

“Hey, but what can I do? The wife does it.”

등장인물

“It’s my job, so I have to do it.”

강지연

It's okay, really..!

강지연

I actually like cooking

is a lie.

The housekeeper has to get off work now too...

I can't do it because I feel sorry.

등장인물

“Oh, is that so..?”

강지연

Yeah yeah haha

등장인물

“Well then, I’ll go in now.”

강지연

Yes, please go in carefully-

So I sent the housekeeper home.

Finally, I am alone in this house.

강지연

…under,-

강지연

How long has it been since I've been free?

오후 7:00

강지연

I told Jeon Jungkook to come at 10 o'clock.

강지연

I need to have some pajeon and makgeolli in the meantime haha

…

..

.

…

After having a quick dinner like that

I spent my time sitting on the sofa and watching TV.

오후 9:56

강지연

Huh? When did time go by so quickly?

강지연

But, this guy still hasn't come in..

It was almost 10 o'clock, and I thought about Jungkook who hadn't come home.

강지연

Yeah, well... I'll be right on time.

I knew it, but…

오후 10:00

Even if it's 10 o'clock sharp

오후 11:00

11 o'clock

오전 12:00

12 o'clock

Even at midnight, there was no news from Jeongguk.

강지연

…

강지연

This kid, is he crazy?

강지연

What time is it now, why aren't you coming home;;;

강지연

under.

…

So, it was just after 1:00 AM when the front door finally opened.

Beep beep beep.-

Clank.-

…

강지연

jungkook jeon.

전정국

…?

전정국

What, why are you here?

강지연

What time is it now?

강지연

I must have said it clearly

강지연

Come in before 10 o'clock

전정국

…under;

전정국

Here we go again?

강지연

…what?

전정국

No matter how hard you try to be a mother,

전정국

I've never had a mother like you.

전정국

So, don't do anything useless and live quietly.

전정국

Or, just leave the house.

강지연

…

강지연

… Hey, me..!

전정국

F*ck.-

전정국

I'm tired, so step aside.

Pfft.-

Jeongguk passed me by with a look of disillusionment on his face and went into his room.

…

강지연

…

강지연

… me, you rascal;

강지연

How long are you going to be like that;;

강지연

Oh my,

강지연

Okay, okay,

강지연

I'm the only one who gets angry, always.

…

..

.

…

"dump"

As soon as I entered the room, I threw myself on the bed.

강지연

… Ugh.-

강지연

What should I do with that rebellious male protagonist?

강지연

really…-

Even if our relationship doesn't get better...

I don't want to stay in a bad state...

강지연

…

But, first of all, why…

Why does Jeon Jungkook hate Kang Jiyeon so much?

강지연

…

강지연

…seokjin kim

Wouldn't this person know?

I don't know about the relationship between Jeong-guk and Ji-yeon

강지연

…

Swish

I opened Kang Ji-yeon's phone and found a contact named Kim Seok-jin.

강지연

Here it is.

As expected, it was in my contacts...

Boom.-

I immediately called a man named Kim Seok-jin.

ddu….

Thump… thump… .

However, even after several beeps, the connection was not established.

강지연

…are you busy,

강지연

Oh, right…

오전 1:43

강지연

You must be asleep by now…

this…

I'll have to try contacting you again tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the weekend too…

강지연

…then,

강지연

I guess I'll go to sleep now

강지연

I couldn't even sleep because of Jeon Jungkook...

강지연

I need to wash up and go to bed soon.

So I headed to the bathroom

…

..

.

…

After coming out of the bathroom,

강지연

Hey,

강지연

Kang Ji-yeon, look at your skin..

강지연

Something bouncy…

강지연

Maybe because she's the wife of a wealthy family, she manages things well.

강지연

Oh, no

강지연

Come to think of it, Kang Ji-yeon is 25 years old, right?

강지연

People around me keep calling me ma'am, ma'am, so I forget my age... haha

강지연

To be called a madam, isn't she still too young?

I looked at Kang Ji-yeon in the mirror and admired her for a long time.

Knock.-

I opened the dresser drawer.

강지연

Is there anything I can put on?

While I was rummaging through the drawers,

I found something shiny in the corner of the drawer.

강지연

?

강지연

..key?

It was a small key.

강지연

Why is the key here...

강지연

I don't think it's a house key...

강지연

It's like a lock key for a safe or drawer.

First, let's pack it up

It might be useful somewhere

…

..

.

…

So I put the key in my pocket and left the bathroom.

And as soon as I lay my tired body down on the bed

I fell asleep right away.

The next morning

…

강지연

Ugh,

Even though I went to bed late, I woke up early in the morning.

And as soon as I woke up, I went out to the living room and stretched out my arms.

강지연

Why is it so quiet today?

I looked around the living room twice.

강지연

Oh, right

I had an idea

The housekeepers have a day off on weekends...

강지연

Oops,,

강지연

Well then I guess I'll have to eat breakfast this morning.

It's only been three days since I started eating, but I guess I've gotten used to eating food made by others.

강지연

Since I'm lazy, I'll just eat some soy sauce egg rice.

강지연

..~

..Did Jeon Jungkook wake up?

Suddenly, I thought of Jeongguk.

Come to think of it, it seems like right now, it's just me and Jeon Jungkook at this house because the ladies are on vacation.

강지연

Why are you quiet?

Did you leave the house in the meantime..?

It was worth it.

Because I'm a kid who hates being with me so much

강지연

…

no way,

Did you really leave home…?

…

..

.

Knock.-

I carefully opened the door to the room.

전정국

…

강지연

…

What, you're still sleeping

I felt relieved again when I saw Jeongguk sleeping.

I also thought that I might leave the house again and not come back.

You might be a little worried.

강지연

Oh, okay..

강지연

It's better to just sleep...

“Uh..uh...”

강지연

?

전정국

…eww,

Jeongguk, with a frown on his face, tossed and turned in his sleep, groaning loudly.

강지연

..what,

Are you having a nightmare?

I approached Jeongguk at his groaning.

…

전정국

Ugh, ugh..ha,,

As I got closer, I saw Jeong-guk out of breath.

강지연

…

Are you sick?

Swish.-

I placed my hand on Jeongguk's forehead.

강지연

…!

강지연

It's hot..;

전정국

… Ha, uh..-

강지연

under;

강지연

Yeah, I found out yesterday when I was walking around in the rain;;

강지연

I told you I had a cold...

강지연

…

…

I brought a cold water towel.

“Oh my gosh.-”

And then he placed a wet towel on Jeongguk's forehead.

전정국

Ugh,, ch..

Jungkook suddenly frowned at the cold sensation on his forehead.

But, I was still surprised that Jeong-guk didn't wake up.

강지연

..;;

강지연

If you fall asleep, you won't know even if I carry you;

전정국

…-

강지연

… First, let’s take off the blanket

강지연

I need to cool down a bit..-

I kicked off Jeongguk's blanket.

강지연

…

And then I hesitated again.

While thinking back on whether or not I should put my hand on Jeongguk's pajamas...

강지연

iced coffee;;

강지연

really,

강지연

This is all to bring down the fever.

강지연

I told you I didn't think about that when I was a kid.

Repeating that

I slowly unbuttoned Jeongguk's pajamas.

“Thud..-”

“Thud..- thud.-”

…

강지연

…

강지연

What, the kid... has chocolate on his stomach...

강지연

iced coffee.

강지연

Wake up, Kang Ji-yeon.

I slapped both of my cheeks hard.

강지연

This is nursing.

강지연

Nursing.

I brought a new wet towel and wiped Jeongguk's body with it to bring down his fever.

강지연

…under;

My arms hurt because I keep doing this;

But, the fever hasn't gone down for several minutes...

강지연

Is it the flu?

…

Still, I continued to try to cool down the situation.

How many dozens of minutes passed like that?

I felt a stirring in the sleeping Jeongguk.

전정국

..(shudder)

강지연

?

Are you awake?

전정국

..uh, m..

전정국

..uh, m..what is it..-

Jungkook slowly opened his eyes.

강지연

Are you awake?

전정국

…why are you here?

Jeongguk glared at me with a very wary expression on his face.

강지연

You're hot.

강지연

So I came to take care of her.

전정국

…ah,

Only then did Jeongguk realize that he was in pain.

전정국

…

강지연

Phew,

강지연

If you're sick, lie down more, kid.

강지연

Because the fever didn't even go down

I changed the wet towel and placed it back on Jeongguk's chest.

"Pak.-"

전정국

! (shudder)

전정국

T...Aren't you going to clean this up?;;

Jungkook quickly brings the blanket over himself and covers himself, as if he doesn't even know why he's naked.

강지연

…;

강지연

You need to bring down your fever; Inma..

Jiyeon seemed frustrated and used force to pull down Jeongguk's blanket.

전정국

..;;!

전정국

So, why are you doing that;;

Jungkook held onto the blanket tightly with a look on his face that said he wouldn't let go.

강지연

Are you embarrassed..lol

I burst out laughing at that situation.

전정국

…;;;

전정국

It's embarrassing...;;;

강지연

Okay, it can be embarrassing..-

강지연

What would I do to a minor…?

전정국

…

전정국

… now.

Jeongguk, who had become serious, pushed me away.

강지연

Okay, okay...-

강지연

I'm going to go out and see, so you keep using that towel.

강지연

Until the fever goes down.

전정국

…

강지연

answer.

전정국

… Okay, so get out.

전정국

My head hurts...

강지연

…

Me, cheapskate^^

…

..

.

So I left Jeongguk's room.

…

전정국

…

전정국

… also,

전정국

…again, being treated like a child

전정국

…

If it's going to be like this, why don't you stop pretending to be nice?

Why are you doing this to me?

really..

Confusingly…

…
