chapter 23
23. Breakthrough
I was staring at the laptop screen with a puzzled expression. To be precise, I was looking at the notification message that popped up on the Internet window.
【Identification process is in progress.】
What is the identification process?
No, what the hell is going on?
hahahaha, since I listed my contact information, is there a confirmation call on my home phone?
With that in mind, I looked at the phone for a while and waited for the phone to ring.
But no matter how long I waited, the call never came.
Umm, that wasn’t a phone call.
Then what is it?
I couldn’t figure out how to proceed. No matter how much I thought about it, the answer didn’t come out, so I soon gave up on the idea.
Considering that membership registration was over, I went back to the Laver homepage.
Returning to the Laver homepage, I started scrolling down to look around, just to surf the web.
As expected of a portal site, news and information were being exposed as the main ones.
And I wanted to just skip the news part.
Because most of the news was talking about me.
Before going out, even when I turned on the TV for a while, the news channel only talked about me for a while.
A stranger on TV was talking about me, and to be honest, I felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable with myself.
But I tried to understand as much as possible.
Because this is such a world.
I understand it with my head, but
My heart couldn’t keep up with it.
It was not a very pleasant feeling.
I feel it all over again…
How the hell do mothers and other celebrities endure things like this?
I was in awe beyond respect.
Anyway, since I saw the TV news situation,
I was trying to avoid the news section of the portal site.
I tried to skip the news part like that, but did people say that people can see better once they are conscious?
In the end, the news headlines I tried to ignore stuck in my eyes.
《A man who appears to be discharged from a residential area in Seoul has been confirmed.》
《Finally confirmed residential area for discharged people, none other than Seoul J-Pallis.》
…… Omg.
I heard that they were tracking my residence until morning, but you already noticed?
You found it so quickly in this vast Seoul?
No, besides…
I heard that this is a high-end, high-security apartment that is difficult for anyone but the residents to enter. How did you break through this?
Are there ninjas among the reporters?
That’s really great.
I found out later,
Among the residents of the apartment, it is said that there was a former reporter and a resident whose eyes were turned over by the reward for reporting.
Anyway, I couldn’t help but be very embarrassed when I read the news article.
In the end, I became curious about the contents of the article, so I couldn’t stand it and clicked on one of the articles to read it.
… Check it out at Jpallis.
… Spotted at the playground.
You saw it really well. Where did you see it?
Rather, with a guardian?…
Ah!
After reading the article, I finally understood everything.
I wondered how my mother and the judges found out about it.
How the examiner found out and contacted you,
Why did your mother mention the position of guardian?
After reading the article, I was able to clear all the doubts I had so far.
hahahaha, that was it.
The reporter mistook Eunjin for my guardian, that is, my mother.
Well, it’s just misunderstood.
It must have been really upsetting to know that I went out alone and was with a woman I had never met before.
Rather, I thought that it was fortunate that I was misunderstood like this.
After reading all the articles like that, I scrolled down, and a place marked as a related article caught my eye.
And when I saw the headlines of related articles, I had no choice but to open my mouth wide.
《Inquiries for real estate in Seoul! Are house prices going up again?”
《J-Pallis, currently all sales are gone.》
《In the vicinity of J-Palis, real estate inquiries are pouring in.》
《Seoul is currently on an advisory to beware of real estate fraud. How to prevent it?
…
What is real estate… What do you say?
……
House prices in Seoul in a previous life… I wasn’t kidding
………
I… I don’t know.
Could it be because of me?
hahahaha, it must have been just a coincidence.
I tried to ignore it as if I was hypnotizing myself, and closed the news article window.
Ugh.
Refrain from surfing the web for the time being.
It will be harmful to your mental health.
And for the time being, I’m really going to keep quiet.
Just as I was about to close the laptop with such determination, I heard the door open.
Click.
“Son~ You waited a long time, right?”
“Ah, uh… mom.”
When I turned my head in the direction of the sound, I saw her mother coming out of her room.
I greeted her mother with a big smile.
“Did you finish the call?”
“Yeah~ Well done.”
My mother smiled and spread her arms toward me.
Now I fully knew what the signal and meaning of my mother’s behavior was.
To respond to her mother’s gesture, I
She rose from her seat and spread her arms wide toward her mother.
Then my mother put her hand in my armpit and gave me a hug.
At first, being held by my mother was very embarrassing, but now that I’m being held often, I’ve gotten used to it.
My mother gave me a short kiss on the cheek and then she said.
“Mmm, side. Aren’t you bored alone?”
“hehehe, that was fine.”
“Oh, I see you are working on your laptop.”
My mother went on with her words, glancing at her laptop on the table.
“Did the manager tell you how to use it?”
“Yes? Uh, no.”
“Really? Hey, how did you know how to use a laptop?”
“That, that’s it.”
After hearing what my mother said, I felt sorry for her.
She hadn’t thought that her mother would be puzzled by such a trivial detail.
I quickly mobilized her brain, found an excuse for her, and hurriedly explained it to her mother.
“In the past, at the shelter… To be precise, the staff at the welfare center looked over their shoulders to see what they were using, so I knew it when I saw it.
Besides, he, I learned how to use the computer at the shelter, so I knew it well. Why, laptops and computers are very similar. Ha ha ha.”
“Aha, I see.”
Despite my gibberish explanation, my mother nodded her head in no doubt.
She felt a little sorry that she had lied to her mother, but for me, this was the best and inevitable choice.
When I was feeling guilty for a while, my mother glanced at the living room wall and said.
“Come to think of it, Jinhyo. Are not you hungry?”
“Pear?”
I moved my gaze to the living room wall my mother was looking at. There was a wall clock hanging there.
The hands on the wall clock pointed to a little past noon.
Ah, it’s already lunchtime.
Just in time, I felt moderate hunger, so I answered.
“Yes, I am a little hungry.”
“So? But what?”
My mother looked at me with a very apologetic face and said.
“Actually, my mom was going to buy me lunch on her way home from work. She couldn’t buy my son’s food because she was in a hurry to come back…. I’m really sorry.”
As the person who provided the cause, I was taken aback by my mother’s words, and immediately shook her head violently and hurriedly told my mother.
“No, no!
No need to be sorry! It all happened because of my fault.”
“Oh, no. Mom should have thought a little more calmly before moving….”
Her mother’s face was overshadowed by sadness.
I couldn’t just look at it, I opened my mouth in a hurry to relieve her mother’s feelings.
“Eh! I fully understand! It’s okay, so relax your face, okay?”
“… Yes, thank you, son.”
She replied, but her mother’s expression was still dark.
I thought about how to make her mother feel better.
… Is that the only way?
I immediately thought of a method and immediately took action.
“Mmm, side!”
“――!”
I put my lips to my mother’s cheek and kissed her with a loud voice.
Chook! With that sound, the mother’s expression gradually brightened.
My mother was looking at me with her moved face, and I took the opportunity to move her face to the cheek opposite her and kissed her just like before.
“mmm, side!”
“Kyaaha!”
As if she liked my kiss, a laugh of joy that sounded like a scream came out of her mouth.
“My son~ Are you comforting your mother?”
“Ehehehe, yes.”
“Ayu~ When did you become so cute?~ Mom, I’m so happy~”
“Ehehehehe.”
My mother must have been really happy, so she hugged me even more.
Her mother, feeling relieved, held me in her arms as she walked over to the sofa and sat down.
She sat on the sofa, and my mother sat me on her lap and stroked my hair, she said.
“My son. I’m really sorry, but let’s order and eat delivery food until today. Are you fine?”
“Yes, it’s okay.”
“Yes~ My son, thank you for understanding~”
My mother lightly patted my butt as if she were a baby.
“Huh.”
“――!!”
My body was startled by the unfamiliar skinship I felt for the first time, and a strange sound flowed out of my mouth without my knowledge.
Then, a strange situation was created in which I was startled by the sound that came out of my mouth.
A strange sound came out of my mouth without my knowledge, and I felt ashamed.
Then I felt my face heat up.
She didn’t know what to do, rolling her eyes around her, she finally regained her composure and was able to check on her mother’s condition.
What if you think it’s strange?
Contrary to my worries,
Her mother had a very calm face. As if you were giving strength to her face.
She also held her smart phone in her hand when she took it out, and fixed her eyes on the LCD screen while operating her smart phone.
Oh, that’s good.
My mother didn’t listen. She
She was very embarrassed.
… However,
My mother’s ears and neck,
You seem to be very blushing…
… Maybe it’s because of the mood?
“Mmm, hmm. Son. What. Do you want something to eat?”
She must have sensed my gaze. My mother cleared her throat and asked me what to eat.
Hmmm, don’t think too much about it. Let’s just move on.
I looked at the smartphone screen in her mother’s hand.
Looking at my mother’s smartphone, a familiar food delivery app screen caught my eye.
As expected, there was a delivery app in this world too.
I looked at the delivery app and opened my mouth.
“I don’t have anything in particular that I’m craving right now.”
“Hmm, so?”
“Besides, I don’t even know what kind of food they have.”
“Ah, indeed. I guess so. Uh, let’s see
What kind of food would my son like to eat? .”
While my mother was choosing food for a while, I suddenly had a question.
A very embarrassing question.
“… I see, Mom. What kind of food does mom like?”
“Huh? You mean mom?”
My mother answered my question while making eye contact with her.
“Mom doesn’t have any particular likes or dislikes, but…
Since my mother’s job is an actress, I tend to pay more attention to the calories than the type of food.”
“Hey, that’s right.”
“By the way, why is that all of a sudden?”
Embarrassed by my mother’s question, I answered while scratching my cheek.
“I was just curious about what mom likes.”
“Oh, so?”
“And, I don’t know much about my mother… I want to know little by little.”
My mother seemed to know what I like and dislike.
But I didn’t really know what my mother liked and what she didn’t like.
I was so ashamed of myself.
So I felt sorry and ashamed to ask my mother, but…
Even now, I mustered up the courage to ask questions in order to get to know and approach my mother in more detail.
Did I look special?
My mother looked at me with her very thrilled face and said.
“My son, have you thought about that?
Mom, I am so happy that I feel like crying.”
As her mother said, her mother’s eyes were getting moist before she knew it.
Looking into my mother’s eyes,
I was talking while hugging her mother.
“Mmm, don’t cry.”
“… Okay. Mom is really happy.
The fact that a man like Jinhyo is his mother’s son.
I am really, really happy.”
“Ehehehe.”
My mother put down the smartphone she was holding in her hand, then wrapped her arms around my body and hugged me tightly.
Then he patted my back.
Mother’s hand that patted my back like that,
I could feel it coming down more and more.
My mother’s hand passed my waist,
Before I knew it, it was touching my buttocks.
Then, as before, he carefully patted my butt.
Not as much as when I first felt it, but a very unfamiliar sensation ran down my back.
What is this feeling?
It’s embarrassing yet fluffy,
It’s very addictive…
“Ugh. Mmm.”
“Haa- my son, my baby.”
While enjoying the caress of her mother for a long time like that, when her mood is smooth…
Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
My mother and I both freaked out at the same time, loosened the arms that were holding each other, and pulled our bodies apart.
My mother had been exchanging glances with me for a while, with a hazy expression, she kissed my forehead.
After my mother kissed my forehead,
She muttered softly as she looked at the intercom mounted on the wall, with her face at the bottom of her face rather displeased.
“What is it from yesterday, really… As for the timing….”
“… To?”
“Ugh~ no, son. Nothing.”
My mother cleared her expression as if it was nothing.
She then lightly hugged me on her lap, put me on the seat next to me, and stood up.
“Wait a minute. Mom will come and see who it is.”
“Yes.”
I felt the mother’s expression benign, but her steps felt somehow rough.
I think he felt a little angry.
Approaching the intercom, my mother pressed her call button and spoke.
“Who are you?”
Then a female voice came from the intercom.
「I came from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.」
“Yes? The police department?”
After hearing that, the mother asked the intercom in a puzzled voice.
Huh? What the hell is it?
Why at the National Police Agency?
Uh… No way…
Maybe…
This confirms your identity… ?
My mother hurried to the front door, and I also got up from the sofa and followed her mother out.
When my mother hurriedly opened the front door, there
“This is it, how are you~”
“… Oh? Detective Kim?”
Detective Kim, who escorted me from the shelter, was standing with two police officers.
◈◈◈
After a few minutes,
My mother, who was listening to Detective Kim’s story, said with a surprised expression.
“Oh, that’s right.”
“Euhahahaha, I was also surprised.”
Detective Kim said with a soft smile on his face that still looked like a person.
“Suddenly, a male identity verification request came in, and when I looked up the phone number, this address was found.”
“Oops….”
“So I came here just in case. But just in case… There are all these coincidences.”
“I will. I guess this is all related.”
“hahahahaha, it’s a real honor. Hearing the word fate from a popular actor.”
“Hoho, they take me on a plane too.”
The reason Detective Kim came was, as I expected, to confirm the male identity.
Feeling apologetic for bothering him for some reason, I felt embarrassed and looked at Detective Kim while hiding behind his mother’s back.
Detective Kim, who was talking with his mother for a while, accidentally met his eyes with mine.
Detective Kim smiled and bowed his head slightly to greet me.
I also smiled slightly and bowed my head in greeting, and Detective Kim’s eyes began to widen slightly.
Then he smiled brightly and spoke to his mother.
“Yeah, of course. What a wonderful son.”
“hehehe, thank you.”
“I am very envious of this.
Oh, it’s not like this. Uh… The situation is the situation, so I have to report it. Could you please cooperate a little?”
“Yes, of course. How can I help you?”
“Thank you for your cooperation. First…
Hey, hey! What are you doing? Get out of your mind!”
Detective Kim patted the policeman standing next to him on the shoulder and raised his voice.
Moving my gaze, I finally noticed the gazes of the two police officers.
Two police officers were staring at me with very bewildered faces.
The two police officers seemed to have finally come to their senses at the sound of Detective Kim’s voice, and they hurriedly removed their eyes from me with startled faces.
“This new guy… See you guys, go back.”
“Sorry, sorry!”
“Ugh, what is this embarrassing thing? Write.
Give the papers, you guys go down first.”
The police officer hurriedly handed over the documents to Detective Kim, then stepped back as if running away.
Looking at the police officer like that, Detective Kim said with an apologetic face.
“Eww, sorry for showing you something you won’t see.”
“No. Are you okay.”
“hahahahaha, thank you for understanding. Your mother must be having a hard time too.”
“… Iknow, right. Actually, I’m a little worried too.”
“Euhahahaha, I have nothing to say except cheer up. Oh, take this document… Here, and here, and here. Could you give me your autograph?”
“Yes, in case you don’t know, could I use your seal?”
“No, no, not to that extent. An autograph is enough.”
Her mother nodded her head once and started to fill in the autograph where Detective Kim pointed.
Looking through her documents like that, her mother, who was rolling her pen, must have finished signing. She returned the pen to Detective Kim and said,
“I’m so sorry for bothering you.”
“No, no. It’s something you have to do, of course.”
“Thank you. Is there anything else I should be careful about?”
“No, no. Doesn’t exist…. I wish I could say that, but in fact I do.”
Detective Kim still had a sad expression on his face, but he opened his mouth with a serious face.
“There are a lot of reporters outside. And I’m sorry, but it looks like you got caught because of us.”
“Sorry, don’t say that. You came because of us….”
“hahahaha, thank you for understanding. Anyway, I think you’d better refrain from going out for a while.”
“Yes, I will.”
“And, if you are frustrated, we will help. We can also be temporarily escorted under the Male Protection Act.”
“… Oh my, did you?”
“Yes. It’s something that’s not well known, because it’s so common among men.
But in case you don’t know… Here is my business card.”
Detective Kim took a business card out of his pocket and handed it to his mother.
And with a mischievous face, Detective Kim raised his hand and touched his mouth, as if he was talking secretly.
“And, to be honest. If you take on a male escort, the performance and bonuses come in pretty good. hahahaha!”
“Oh, you are honest.”
“That is my strength. But in fact, I’ve never had such a case so far, so I’m not sure if the reward is real. hahahahaha.”
Detective Kim said that and started to organize the documents.
My mother was staring at the business card that Detective Kim had given her, as if lost in thought.
After finishing the paperwork, Detective Kim saluted his mother.
“This is it. I’ve been interrupting your precious time for too long. Then, let’s go.”
“… Detective Kim. If not for the lungs…
That escort request, is it possible now?”
“…… Yes?”
Detective Kim looked at her mother with a surprised expression at her mother’s words.
I also looked at her mother with a surprised expression.
“Actually, I want to go out with my son right now.”
“Going out… If… “
“I was suddenly discharged yesterday, so there is nothing for my son to eat at home.”
My mother glanced at me, then she smiled and went on with her words.
“I want to eat out with my son. Would it be okay if I asked for an escort?”
“That… There must be reporters all over the place, are you really going to be okay?”
I was also concerned about that.
But to Detective Kim’s question, she said as if she didn’t mind her mother at all.
“It’s all exposed anyway, so I’m just going to confidently break through. Besides, the agency will also announce it soon. And above all.”
My mother said while patting my hair.
“I can’t starve my son.”
“… Mom.”
“…… Whoa.”
Detective Kim, who had heard his mother’s words, looked at us while stroking his chin with a very serious face that he hadn’t shown before.
He nodded as if he had made up his mind, then opened his mouth with a firm expression.
“… Could you please give me a little time?
If only you would give me time…
The best detectives of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency,
I will summon you right away.”
