Chapter 398 (Mom)

Thanks to the text message Mom just sent, Si-woo’s cock hardens and rises even further.
That signature angry emoji of hers usually appeared when she was trying to express grumbling or annoyance regarding a request or situation she felt she had no choice but to go along with.
Si-woo had grown enough through experience and observation to recognize such nuances now.
He imagined Mom acknowledging the subordinate relationship between himself and the other family members, living her life as a part of that dynamic.
Perhaps, in just a few moments, Si-woo would be able to witness his mother completely submitting to her destiny and her son’s authority.
* * *
Si-woo walked straight toward the main entrance of the large discount mart near the subway station.
Since it was late Sunday afternoon, the area in front of the mart was quite crowded with people out for groceries.
Carefully hiding his throbbing penis with his bag, Si-woo searched for Mom among the crowd.
Even from a distance, he was able to spot her standing there with a shopping basket amidst the sea of people.
It was the sight of his mother, whom he had been so anxious and desperate to see.
Mom was wearing an apricot-colored loose-fit long T-shirt that made the shape of her large breasts stand out prominently.
In truth, even if it weren't Si-woo, it would be difficult for anyone to pass by without glancing at a woman with such a luscious figure.
Mom was using the arm holding her smartphone to clutch the shoulder of her other arm, trying to shield her conspicuous breasts from the surrounding eyes.
Below the hem of the T-shirt, which reached down to her mid-thighs, her smooth and enchanting legs were exposed.
It seemed no easy task to hide that exceptional body and striking face among ordinary people with just a single apricot-colored loose-fit T-shirt.
The clothes Mom was wearing weren't the purple fitted T-shirt she had on this morning.
However, it was a similarly oversized apricot long T-shirt with a suggestive shape and texture.
Si-woo remembered seeing Se-hee Noona wear it before.
Had she hurriedly grabbed Se-hee Noona’s clothes from the drying rack before leaving the house?
Neither the purple T-shirt nor the apricot loose-fit long T-shirt were inherently erotic clothes, but perhaps because Mom was the one wearing them, they felt even more provocative.
The red leather dog collar was still fastened around Mom’s neck.
After watching her for a moment as if entranced, Si-woo suddenly became curious about what kind of expression she would make when she received his text.
Si-woo pulled out his smartphone, switched to the camera app, and took a photo of the condoms he had tucked inside his bag.
Click, click, click!
The smartphone camera flash went off inside the bag, capturing the image of the condom box on the screen.
Si-woo sent the photo of the condom box to Mom.
Standing just a few meters away, Mom reacted to the notification sound and vibration, checking her smartphone screen.
She seemed to startle for a moment as she saw the photo Si-woo sent, then stared blankly at the screen for a long time.
Then, Mom closed her eyes tightly and let out a deep breath, her face contorted like someone who didn't know what expression to make.
Had Mom been reacting like that every time Si-woo sent a text?
Mom’s interesting reaction seemed to make Si-woo’s penis surge with strength once again.
Pressing his crossbody bag firmly against his penis, Si-woo approached Mom with quick steps.
"Mom, I'm here!"
Si-woo walked close to where Mom was standing and made his presence known.
Mom seemed to recognize Si-woo, but she showed no sign of particularly welcoming him.
She made a sullen face and turned her gaze away.
"Mom?"
Si-woo called out to her again.
Mom shot him a quick sidelong glance before looking away again with a reluctant expression.
An awkward atmosphere flowed between the mother and son as they stood facing each other without making eye contact.
Was Mom still not mentally prepared to face Si-woo?
Still avoiding Si-woo’s eyes and remaining silent, Mom held out the shopping basket she was carrying.
"Si-woo, you! Carry this!"
Without even looking at him directly, Mom extended her arm and handed the shopping basket to Si-woo.
The basket she handed over contained alcoholic drinks along with some greasy-looking instant foods.
"Huh? What’s all this? There are cigarettes and a lighter in here too?"
Si-woo took the shopping basket from Mom and asked in confusion as he looked inside.
"Just follow me!"
Without answering his question, Mom bluntly told him to follow her and abruptly turned around.
Before Si-woo could even respond, she turned her body and began walking toward somewhere.
"Huh? Where are we going?"
Holding the shopping bag in one hand and the basket he received from Mom in the other, Si-woo hurriedly followed behind her and asked.
"Stop talking and just follow me!"
As if losing her temper, Mom walked quickly toward an unfamiliar location without even looking back.
Worrying about the eyes of those around her, Mom covered her chest with one arm while using the other hand to pull the hem of her T-shirt down toward her thighs.
Though the clothes were oversized, the silhouette of the line falling from Mom’s waist to her hips appeared voluptuous to Si-woo.
Mom’s breasts and buttocks swaying richly inside the T-shirt... and the flesh of her thighs...
"Mom, but seriously, where are we going? It doesn't look like the way home."
Si-woo asked worriedly as he followed Mom, who still hadn't revealed their destination.
Despite Si-woo’s question, Mom continued walking without stopping or answering.
'Well, I'll find out where we're going if I just keep following...'
Si-woo decided to take it easy and followed behind her.
"I was a bit worried because you didn't reply~ I thought something happened to you..."
"Or that you ran away somewhere again without saying anything~ Like you did last time."
"It’s not because of me this time, right?"
Following a step or two behind Mom, Si-woo continued to talk to her in a sly, provocative tone.
Mom, who had been walking ahead at a fast pace, suddenly came to a dead stop and turned around.
Si-woo also stopped in his tracks, slightly flustered by her sudden halt.
Mom bit her lip hard as if frustrated and glared at Si-woo for a moment.
Si-woo looked back at her with an innocent expression, as if asking what was wrong.
At that, Mom let out a heavy sigh through her nose and whipped back around to continue walking.
Was she piqued by his comment about being worried? Or because he said it wasn't because of him?
To Si-woo, Mom’s petulant reaction looked incredibly cute.
Thinking he would play along with this game of tag with his mother, Si-woo decided to follow her in silence.
* * *
The late afternoon sky was already growing dark.
Mom, who had been walking in front of Si-woo with her tempting buttocks swaying left and right, stopped in front of a building.
The place Si-woo and Mom arrived at was a coin karaoke room slightly away from the station.
It was a coin karaoke room in an entertainment district quite a distance from their home.
After stopping behind Mom, Si-woo looked up at the building and tilted his head in slight confusion.
What business did Mom have bringing him here?
"Mom, didn't you have something to tell me?"
Si-woo looked at Mom and spoke as if puzzled.
"Of course I came here to talk! Where else is there for me to talk about such things with you?"
Mom answered Si-woo’s question as if venting her frustration.
Now that the secret had been exposed to the whole family, Mom seemed to think she would no longer be treated properly as a mother by her son, Si-woo, at home.
That would likely be the same in a motel or any isolated place where she was alone with Si-woo...
On the other hand, it would be troublesome if the contents of the secret conversation she wanted to have with Si-woo were overheard by others in a public place.
A place where a private conversation was possible, yet open enough that Si-woo wouldn't pounce on her.
Mom had likely racked her brains and finally come up with a coin karaoke room.
Si-woo felt he could vaguely understand why Mom had brought him here.
However, he was also thinking to himself that Mom might have underestimated his sexual desire and perverted cravings.
* * *
As they stepped into the entrance, they immediately saw a kiosk for selecting a room and charging card payments.
In the large central hall of the shop, there were food stalls, a refrigerator, and even a microwave installed.
Though called a coin karaoke room, the shop seemed to function as both an unmanned multi-room and a coin karaoke.
The voices of a group who looked to be about Intermediate Academy students could be heard from one of the rooms.
Mom went straight to the kiosk and chose a room to enter.
Mom selected a room and paid by charging a store card with her smartphone.
Si-woo was a bit surprised by Mom’s movements, which looked unexpectedly skillful.
"Mom, have you been to places like this before?"
Si-woo said as he watched Mom make the payment at the kiosk.
Mom hesitated for a moment before snapping back at Si-woo.
"Why do you keep asking questions? Just get in there! Room 17!"
Mom spoke as if Si-woo’s friendly chatter was a nuisance and led the way into a coin room located quite far back around the corner.
