Chapter 407 (Mom)

[So, what was it you wanted to talk about?]
Si-woo asked his mom point-blank.
[Just wait! I’m coming over in a bit to talk!]
His mom, apparently still needing more time, told Si-woo to wait again.
[Why are you stalling so much? You could just tell me now.]
[After making me wait like this, it better be important! If it’s nothing, I’ll punish you so hard you won’t even be able to walk!]
Si-woo spoke to her in a threatening tone.
[It’s about how our family should live from now on, so it is important!]
His mom responded as if making an excuse in advance, worried she might be punished by Si-woo again.
'Instead of getting angry at her son for threatening her so impudently...'
Though she was acting tough and nagging him like a typical mother, in reality, she seemed to have deeply internalized the master-slave relationship she had formed with Si-woo.
It was a paradoxical situation where her angry nagging actually served as proof of their reversed mother-son roles.
Si-woo watched her reaction with a satisfied smirk.
[And are you going to keep acting like that?]
Perhaps realizing her own attitude toward Si-woo was awkward, his mom suddenly flared up and spoke as if demanding an explanation.
[Acting like what~?]
Si-woo feigned ignorance and shot back a question.
[What do you mean, "punish" me?! Am I your daughter? Your younger sister? When I’m talking about something like this, listen with some sincerity!]
His mom spoke as if she were dissatisfied with Si-woo’s lack of seriousness.
[I’ve been thinking seriously ever since I got your text and left the house. Why?]
Si-woo texted back, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
Of course, his attitude was still half-playful...
[Someone who’s "thinking seriously" goes to heat up pizza and sends a weird video instead?]
[And while your mom is singing, how could you do something like that from behind without a word? Do you have any idea how shocked I was?]
His mom sent a flurry of texts, taking him to task for the masturbation video he sent while supposedly heating up pizza, and for the way he had molested her while she was singing.
[Hahaha.]
Si-woo gave a sheepish laugh, having nothing to say in his defense.
[And why do you keep cumming on the food lately? It feels really weird every time I eat it!]
She continued to grill him about what happened in the room earlier, combined with previous incidents.
His mom seemed quite worked up, even bringing up the fact that she had eaten Si-woo’s semen.
[Is that so? Every time I gave you some to eat, you took it so well that I thought you actually liked that kind of thing~]
Si-woo continued the conversation with slick dirty talk, as if teasing her.
[What?]
His mom reacted sharply.
[You should have said something before eating it. You drank it so naturally from the start that I thought you were fine with it!]
[But Se-young and Su-a drink it just fine without saying much... and Se-hee seems used to it now, too!]
[Seon-ju even drinks my urine, so aren't you being a bit too picky with your palate, Mom?]
Si-woo went as far as to provoke her by comparing her to the other family members he had sexual relationships with.
[Unbelievable! How can you even say that!? -_-^]
As if she found it absurd, his mom sent another text along with a frustrated emoticon.
[And that bitch Seon-ju! If she seduced someone else's son and did what she did, she should have stopped there! Just because I don't say anything, she's trying to go all the way! Calling you "Master" even in front of the kids! She’s seriously weird.]
Whether she was drunk or just excited, his mom suddenly started badmouthing Aunt Seon-ju.
[Hahaha.]
Si-woo just laughed and sent texts, finding his mom genuinely cute as she chewed out Aunt Seon-ju.
Just as Si-woo considered Cheol-jin the catalyst for the incestuous relationships he had formed with his family, perhaps his mom viewed Aunt Seon-ju as the culprit behind the recent series of changes.
His mom vented her long-held frustrations through text for a while—complaining about Aunt Seon-ju’s outfits, the way she treated her nephews, and more—but she still didn't seem satisfied.
[Mom, I think you can just say everything you want to say right here.]
Si-woo spoke as if he intended to let her release all her pent-up resentment.
[And Si-woo, you shouldn't be doing that either! Just because I made a little mistake this morning, how could you do that to your mother?!]
Then, she turned her target back to Si-woo and began listing her grievances like a lecture.
[I already got punished in the changing room! So why did you make me do that with Se-hee again?]
Following her complaints about Aunt Seon-ju, his mom spoke as if protesting the unfairness of what happened that morning.
She was referring to the incident where she hit Si-woo on the head with a ladle in the kitchen, and the subsequent retribution she received from him in the changing room.
It seemed she was particularly unhappy about the command to receive and drink Si-woo’s semen from Se-hee Noona afterward.
[But Mom, it’s true that you and Se-hee got closer, right? You had a good time thanks to me~ haha.]
Si-woo interrupted her, speaking in a playful tone.
[I told you, no!!]
His mom’s text was sharp, laced with irritation.
[Even when you’re not watching, do I have to spend all day being harassed by my daughter while using formal speech with her? At my age, should I be acting as a cigarette shuttle for my daughter and her friends?! To be honest, doing this to you is embarrassing and uncomfortable enough to kill me!]
His mom sent a long text all at once, sounding truly sorrowful.
The part about being a cigarette shuttle for her daughter and her friends...
[What?]
Si-woo couldn't help but shoot back a one-word question.
The cigarettes he had seen in his mom’s shopping basket must have been items that Se-hee Noona and her friends had ordered her to buy.
Si-woo’s mind went a bit blank after reading her text.
Is that why there were three different brands of cigarettes?
[Did Se-hee and her friends tell you to buy cigarettes for them?]
Si-woo questioned her, feeling as if he’d been hit over the head by the absurdity of it.
It was ridiculous enough that Se-hee Noona and her friends had sent his mom on a cigarette run, but the fact that his mom had submissively followed those instructions was an even bigger shock to Si-woo.
[Didn't you say I was the Legal Wife? Then how can I be beneath Se-hee at home? Doing that for a little bit is one thing! How can you just leave me like that all day after giving those orders?!]
His mom complained until the end, sounding resentful about the unfair orders Si-woo had given.
So this was the talk she had been hesitating to bring up?
It seemed his mom was dissatisfied with the family hierarchy Si-woo had impulsively set that morning.
From her perspective, the master-slave relationship within the family was likely something she had entered into as a form of play...
And yet, she had strictly followed Si-woo’s orders to the point of buying cigarettes for her own daughter.
For a moment, Si-woo wondered if his mom had been a natural-born masochistic bitch to her very core, long before she was ever trained by his father.
Si-woo imagined his mom at the mart, wearing nothing but a loose-fit, apricot-colored long T-shirt, buying cigarettes on the orders of Se-hee Noona and her friends.
His head spun, and his penis, exposed outside his clothes, throbbed as if it were about to burst.
* * *
After his mom’s complaining, lamenting, and snitching came to an end, Si-woo stared at the silent 1:1 chat window for a moment.
[Mom.]
After confirming the chat screen wasn't moving anymore, Si-woo called out to her simply.
[What do you want!?]
His mom, who had been venting her frustrations, answered as if she were still pouting.
[So that’s why you were snapping at me? Our Seon-mi was upset about that?]
Si-woo spoke while using her name, as if coaxing a child.
His mom didn't respond, seemingly still in a huff.
[But if you were going to talk about this over text, you could have just done it at home~ right?]
Si-woo continued to speak in a soothing tone.
[Hah! As if! You didn't listen to a single thing I asked you to protect! If you had just kept the promises we made before, none of this would be happening!]
His mom spoke with a voice still tinged with resentment.
The "promises" likely referred to the conditions she had set when they first entered the master-slave relationship.
It seemed she had intended to see Si-woo in person to negotiate and settle the reversed family hierarchy.
Fortunately, his mom didn't seem to have any intention of ending the master-slave relationship, which had been Si-woo’s concern.
[Alright, alright~! I get what you’re saying. For now, just come over here. Let’s talk face-to-face.]
Si-woo called out to her, signaling that he understood what she wanted to discuss.
