At Lunch Table

25

Siwoo was carefully watching the expression on the face of Aunt Gyuri, who was sitting across from him, as Mom and Aunt Seonju talked about his father.

If there was a special relationship between his father and Aunt Gyuri as stated in the slave contract, he thought that there would be some change in Aunt Gyuri's expression when his father's story came up.

Aunt Gyuri was looking at Mom and Aunt Seonju and listening to the conversation from beginning to end, but other than nodding her head or lifting a can of beer to her mouth, there was no significant change in her expression.

Then, perhaps because she sensed Siwoo's eyes on her, Aunt Gyuri turns her head towards Siwoo and makes eye contact with him.

"I guess Siwoo hasn't been coming to my house often since then?"

Aunt Gyuri smiled kindly at Siwoo, who was startled and flinched when his eyes met.

"I want to go there, but it looks like Cheoljin is very busy these days."

Siwoo spoke comfortably while Aunt Gyuri looked at him warm with calming eyes.

"You can come alone even when Cheoljin is not home... Anyway, I really don't know what Cheoljin is doing these days~ He goes out early in the morning and comes back late at night! Siwoo, have you heard anything from Cheoljin?"

In response to Aunt Gyuri's question, the only thing Siwoo could think of was Aunt Gyuri's Slave Contract that Cheoljin had sent her, but there was no way he could say that to Aunty Gyuri directly.

And right now, Siwoo was more concerned about the first sentence that Aunt Gyuri said as if she had deliberately spilled it.

'I can come alone when Cheoljin is not home...'

Siwoo was certain that this contained sexual meaning that could only be shared between Siwoo and Aunt Gyuri.

Siwoo was surprised and delighted by the boldness of Aunt Gyuri, who seduced Siwoo, her friend's son and her son's friend, even though her husband was back home, but on the other hand, he thought that Aunt Gyuri was not a very obedient slave to her master in the first place.

Without knowing why, Siwoo was feeling a strong, sadistic desire to humiliate Aunt Gyuri.

"Does Cheoljin still do that to you when he's at home?"

Siwoo deliberately asked Gyuri mischievously about the secret act he had promised not to tell others about.

"Uh..uh..right well..."

Aunt Gyuri seems a little embarrassed and stutters her answer.

Siwoo spread his knees and stretched out his legs, finding the legs of Aunt Gyuri who was sitting across from him.

When Siwoo's foot touches Aunt Gyuri's foot, Aunt Gyuri seems a little surprised, but she immediately responds by stretching her legs and crossing Siwoo's calf with her own.

"Is it okay as it is?"

Siwoo's question has a double meaning, as if he was trying to figure out Aunt Gyuri's intentions.

"Well… I think it's something I can't do anything about now, and I feel like I'm getting used to it, and I just wish other people didn't know…"

Aunt Gyuri couldn't finish her sentence clearly, whether it was about Cheoljin or Siwoo, and she seemed to be dragging the conversation between the two things.

"What does your husband say?"

As Siwoo speaks, he puts his other leg forward as if wrapping both of his legs around her calf.

"Well…of course he doesn't know, so I'm going to keep it a secret."

Aunt Gyuri looked at Siwoo and spoke as if she was making a promise to Siwoo, as if her eyes were slightly relaxed due to the alcoholic drinks.

Siwoo used both legs to pull Aunt Gyuri's calf towards him.

At the dinner table where Siwoo's family and Aunt Seonju's family were present, one of Aunt Gyuri's legs was stuck between Siwoo's legs, just as Siwoo had done, as if it were a secret personal property.

Siwoo had no intention of letting go of Aunt Gyuri's leg until the meal was over.

Aunt Gyuri also didn't seem to have any intention of having her leg pulled away from Siwoo.

Siwoo suddenly realizes that he is the only male among the seven people gathered here.

Siwoo was a meticulous predator who captured one of the attractive prey at the moment by coiling it like a snake with his own will.

"What happened to Cheoljin oppa?"

Seyoung, who was quietly listening to Aunt Gyuri and Siwoo's conversation next to him, asks Siwoo with a worried expression.

"I guess Cheoljin is in a rebellious mood these days~ Seyoung, you don't have to worry~"

Aunt Gyuri smiles with her featured eye smile that reassures people, and answers Seyoung instead of Siwoo.

Mom was vaguely reading the subtle atmosphere between Siwoo and Aunt Gyuri.

-Because Mom saw the picture of Aunt Gyuri that Siwoo sent-

Mom is watching Siwoo and she sometimes turns her head away feeling embarrassed when their eyes meet.

And then, as if she were embarrassed, she was taking a sip from the drink she was holding, not even knowing how many drinks she had.

Mom's face seemed a little red, perhaps because of her alcohol.

"Sister, but the thing we talked about before really starts next week, right?"

Aunt Seonju sees Mom and starts talking again.

"We have to do it! It was said that I would do it starting next week~ I can't live my whole life just eating up the insurance money."

Mom was talking as if she had already decided something about Aunt Seonju's question.

"I heard your husband left you plenty of money?"

"I don't know what might happen to my kids later, so I need to earn and use it for living expenses. And anyway, I'm only doing it part-time when I have free time during the day."

"If you say you'll do it, I'll be grateful."

When Siwoo's father passed away, he left behind a generous amount of his property.

Plus, they had insurance money from the accident, so the family didn't have any trouble living.

But even so, Mom was worried about the future, so she tried to use her spare daytime hours to work her part-time job.

Aunt Seonju was running a brokerage agency business that specialized in managing freelance models.

Sometimes she does model work herself or enlists acquaintances around her, and it seems like she had suggested it to Mom, who had a nice body shape, a few times before.

-It looks like mom originally planned to tell her family at the dinner out-

Lunch was coming to an end as various stories were exchanged.

The children were sitting around on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and eating fruit, and the mothers seemed ready to drink and chat in earnest.

-It seems like they forgot their agreement to drink in moderation-

"Siwoo oppa, what are you doing after intermediate academy on Monday?"

Seyoung, who was eating fruit while sitting next to Siwoo with Suah, asked Siwoo.

"Huh? Monday?"

Siwoo asks Seyoung, wondering why.

"Yeah, Monday! There's a guardian meeting at the magic class I attend. Can you come with me?"

Seyoung gently places her hand on Siwoo's arm and asks carefully.

"Didn't you go to the class with Aunt Seonju?"

Sehee, who was listening across from her, asked Seyoung as if it was strange.

"Yes, I went with Aunt Seonju, but they said it should be the direct guardian who lives with me, hehe."

Seyoung speaks with a cute expression as if she was in trouble too.

"Don't you need to talk to mom? Is it okay for me, who is an intermediate academy student, to go?"

Siwoo looked at Sehee and said to Seyoung.

-Anyway, he decided to go to the academy together with Sehee for two weeks-

"Yes, they said you're okay, and mom said she might be busy with work during the day from Monday, so I asked you. I also hope you come with me this time too, hehe~"

Siwoo was moved by Seyoung's last lovely words.

He glanced at Sehee, wanting to somehow go with Seyoung.

Sehee shrugs her shoulders as if she can't help it.

A gesture that is virtually the same as giving up time.

"I'll be at Suah's on Monday after the academy, so you can come pick us up right after the intermediate academy, okay?"

So, at Seyoung's request, Siwoo gets to go guardian meeting at Seyoung's magic class on Monday.

**

Quite a bit of time passes.

Seyoung and Suah went into the room and were playing.

Sehee lay down on the sofa and looked at her smartphone, and went into her room.

Siwoo was sitting alone in the living room watching TV.

The mothers were intoxicated and chatting, and it seemed like the topic of Sehee's clothes came up again.

"I heard you even gave her those underwear?"

Mom says to Aunt Seonju that she is getting angry again.

"If you're family, you should see some bare skin~"

"That's not possible in our house? Ugh, how many times do I say this?"

"Because of Siwoo?"

Siwoo, who was unconsciously listening to the mothers' conversation, was embarrassed by his name suddenly appearing.
