Never did she expect to witness such a vulgar scene...
After sending her naive daughters off to the academy, Hye-jeong heaved a long sigh.
She had always thought of them as exemplary daughters who behaved well even when away from their mother, but their actions were far too excessive, as if they were no longer innocent children.
Her thoughts of the future only brought darkness to her vision.
'Was Sang-hyuk always this handsome?'
As the room lay dimly lit before dawn, his face kept flickering before her eyes. It seemed as if he had spent quite a heated night with her younger sisters; his slightly opened eyes, unironed clothes, and faintly parted lips all exuded a sense of decadence.
She didn't recall adopting such a sexy, handsome man.
'Children grow up fast, they say.'
Could it really be the same person?
Hye-jeong found herself giggling at the thought.
When she saw her naked daughters shivering and flinching on the couch or the floor, she was determined not to let whomever had touched them go unpunished.
Yet, the moment she faced Sang-hyuk, she didn't even feel anger.
It was because she could understand, in one fell swoop, how her grown-up daughters could allow themselves to go so far as to let a man ejaculate inside them. Hyejeong was a woman, too. She thought that, if she had lived under the same roof with such a man during her virgin days, she would've had passionate sex every single day.
'What am I doing, imagining such things about my own son?'
Hyejeong vigorously shook her head. She had believed that her pure heart, the one drawn to the opposite sex, had been completely extinguished more than a decade ago. But seeing it wriggle to life again, it was clearly quite tenacious. This deep, heavy, unfulfilled desire was like the desperate last dance of a mature, aging female.
At first, she merely endured it. Later, she suppressed it with alcohol and cigarettes, and thus it had lain dormant for over ten years.
'…Being young really is wonderful.'
Upon reminiscing, the scene appeared to be more than just the exuberance of youth—it was youth that had exploded. Hyejeong believed that even if it was a reckless game of playing with fire, as long as she could look back on it later and recall how much fun and happiness it had brought her, it was worth it.
She didn't want to chastise herself too harshly.
'But to think that both of them engaged in unprotected sex, leading to pregnancy...'
*Thud!*
Hyejeong slammed the table for no reason.
'…I need alcohol.'
Swinging her sizable hips, she rummages through the refrigerator. Hye-jung's friend, canned beer, was naturally absent from the fridge.
'Should I go out and buy some...?'
Hye-jung, who ventured out to the convenience store in light attire, caught everyone's attention.
Though it was not unheard of for an exotic beauty to reside in modern Korea, Hye-jung was excessively attractive.
A platinum-haired stunner whose origins of Serena and Stella's genes were immediately apparent.
Her beauty was so striking that it created an atmosphere that deterred others from approaching her easily.
Unbeknownst to her,
She felt as if she had already let go of everything, resulting in somewhat clumsy body movements.
She even yawned openly, a consequence of inadequate sleep the night before.
"Miss, do you attend the academy here?"
"Huh?"
Hye-jung slightly opened her eyes in response to the audacious male student's attempt.
"Who, me?"
"Third-year student. Can you give me your number?"
"…"
'These days, kids are good at flattery,' thought Hye-jung.
"I'm a mother."
"What?"
The male student's eyes widened.
"I said, I'm a mother."
"Ah, um, sorry."
Hyejeong sighed. As she picked out a few cans of beer and returned to her cigarettes, she endured the stares that could only be described as the destiny of a beautiful woman, but Hyejeong remained indifferent.
In truth, she found that Korea was more respectful towards her than other places. When she went abroad, it wasn't uncommon for strangers to brazenly touch her. As Hyejeong walked down the street, numerous men would pass by, making crass remarks like, "Hey, sexy cat."
Everything in her life was carefree. She had never considered romance. She imagined she would grow old in peace and eventually pass away, her only concern being to raise her daughters well. A single can of beer would suffice to accompany her to the grave.
*Yawn.*
Hyejeong placed the chicken skewers she had bought as a drinking snack in the microwave and settled onto the sofa. While mindlessly browsing TV channels, she stumbled upon a quaint household account book written by Serena.
'I can't believe she still uses one of these.'
Hyejeong hadn't even bothered with such a thing when she was a newlywed. The charming account book was adorned with a cover featuring plump rabbit characters, which Serena adored.
No one had likely ever unfolded it, except for Serena herself.
"Hmm."
Hye-jeong, driven by curiosity, opened the account book. Expenses and income up until now were detailed in handwriting.
'Sexy lingerie… what's this?'
This was the underwear Serena had recently purchased.
'Writing something like this in the account book is practically an open invitation.'
It was a moment when a reasonable conjecture emerged that a few brakes might have been applied before it escalated to'such a vulgar affair.' A healthy man, brimming with vitality, would consider it an achievement to withstand his sisters' carnal assault for even a day. Right. They're pretty because they resemble me.
'They've started to earn quite a bit.'
[Serena: 950 coins]
[Stella: 1,750 coins]
Hye-jeong couldn't help but admire Stella and Serena's earnings within the academy. It was reassuring to see that they seemed to be doing better than her at the prestigious academy. In the future, they would need money far beyond this amount, but...
'Huh?'
[Kim Sang-hyuk: 300,000 coins]
(Footnote: My big brother is the best.)
"What is this?"
I must have seen it incorrectly.
300,000… coins? 300 million won...
No matter how I examined the household ledger, Kim Sang-hyuk's share in this month's profit was unfathomable.
Did Serena make an error in her record-keeping?
'…It's not the kind of money one can earn by simply attending the academy.'
Could he have ventured into a forbidden area?
Strange. So strange…
Although I'm uncertain about his exact level, I recall hearing from Stella that Sang-hyuk's academic performance was far from impressive.
Is it different now?
'Hmm… He must have written it as a joke.'
Regardless, her mother added the cost of today's canned beer, cigarettes, and side dishes for alcohol beneath Serena's tidy handwriting.
'Academy life, stay strong. Everyone. And please, allow mom to retire.'
Hye-jung had grown weary of overseas expeditions.
How joyous it would be if someone could free her from the shackles of this labor.
They say that there will be more children joining the family within a year.
'So many blessings. Overflowing. Hahaha. *sobs*…'
Hye-jung chuckled and let the beer flow down her throat.
