Chapter 45 (Mom, Se-hee)
Si-woo and Se-hee Noona soon arrived in front of the store where she was to return her clothes.
It was a luxury brand boutique, opulently decorated with brilliant warm lighting and stylish designer props.
"Can you wait here for a second? I'll be back as soon as I get the refund."
Se-hee Noona spoke as she gently unlinked Si-woo’s arm, which had been wrapped around her shoulder and arm.
Si-woo gave a light nod.
Taking a deep breath as if to steel her nerves, Noona stepped into the store.
* * *
While Noona was inside to get her refund, Si-woo wandered around the immediate area.
He spent the time browsing the beautiful clothes displayed in the nearby shop windows one by one.
Then, his eyes were drawn to a child-sized one-piece nightgown displayed in the window of a women's homewear specialty shop across the way.
It was a sophisticated one-piece nightgown with a pink base and a pattern of strawberries and bananas.
With frills adorning the sleeves, neckline, and hem, it was a piece of children's sleepwear that emphasized both cuteness and femininity.
In that moment, Si-woo imagined Se-young wearing that nightgown.
No matter how he pictured it, Se-young would look incredibly adorable in it, and he felt that the late-night molestation he had been consistently practicing on her for the past few days would become even easier.
Because it was a skirt.
Si-woo entered the homewear shop and picked up the price tag of the pink frilled nightgown with his fingers to examine it.
The price was a bit much to afford with a middle-schooler's allowance, so Si-woo held the tag and took out his smartphone to snap a photo, making sure the price was clearly visible.
Click.
Then he stepped out of the store and took more photos of the overall shape of the pink frilled nightgown from in front of the window.
Click!!
Click!!
Click!!
Si-woo checked the photos, picked a few good ones, and sent them to his mom immediately.
A reply from Mom came back shortly.
'?'
Just a single question mark.
'Mom, what are you doing?'
'I'm eating~ What's with the photos?'
'Oh~ It's a nightgown, and I thought it would look pretty on Se-young.'
'It would be pretty~ Where did you find it?'
'I'm here with Se-hee Noona to return her clothes, and it's right across from that store.'
'A skirt?'
Mom asked as if to confirm what was clearly visible in the photo, and Si-woo answered her.
—It was an unusual conversation between mother and son that seemed to cross the line, as if she were reconfirming Si-woo's sexual desire for Se-young and he were responding to it.—
'Are you going to buy it?'
'Yeah, I want to. But Mom! Can you give me some of my allowance in advance? I don't think I have enough right now.'
'How much is it?'
Si-woo sent the photo of the price tag he had just taken to his mom.
'It's quite expensive.'
'Yeah, but I really want to see Se-young wearing this.'
Mom didn't reply for a while, seemingly lost in thought.
Then, another text came from her.
'Mom will buy it for you. You're going to put it on Se-young anyway, right? You have Mom's card, don't you?'
'Yeah, I brought it just in case, but...'
'Then pay with that.'
At Mom's cool-headed response, Si-woo felt a strange sense of thrill and pride.
Mom's attitude and actions were things he couldn't have easily imagined until recently.
Even when his father was alive, the family's finances weren't bad, and Mom wasn't particularly frugal herself, but she had been quite strict about managing the children's spending for educational purposes.
The fact that Mom's nagging toward Se-hee Noona had been increasing lately was due not only to Se-hee's provocative clothing but also to her excessive interest in and obsession with luxury brands.
It was clear that Mom did not have a good impression of unnecessarily expensive luxury clothes.
—Though she had bought Se-hee a luxury item out of guilt after scolding her.—
Yet now, that same mother, far from scolding Si-woo for his request to advance his allowance for an impure purpose, was going a step further and offering to provide it without any strings attached.
'I want to buy this for Se-young myself~ So Mom, can't you just give me some allowance in advance?'
Si-woo was touched and grateful for his mom's offer, but for some reason, he felt he wanted to gift this nightgown to Se-young himself, even if it meant taking an advance on his allowance.
—As if doing so would somehow grant him the authority and justification to molest Se-young without interference from his mother.—
'Will you be okay? It'll be tough for you next month after buying that.'
Mom's words showed her concern for him.
'It doesn't matter. I really want to buy this for Se-young.'
At Si-woo's firm persistence, Mom began to deliberate again.
In truth, whether or not to advance Si-woo's allowance wasn't a major concern for her anymore.
The problem was the unsettling, chaotic sense of guilt and depravity—the feeling that this negotiation with Si-woo might look to him as if she were selling her precious youngest daughter to her son.
Though she had bought time by taking refuge at Aunt Seon-ju's house with Se-young, Mom still hadn't firmly decided on how to behave in front of Si-woo.
Ever since the first night she had masturbated while imagining being raped by Si-woo after he asked her to move Se-young to his room, Mom found it increasingly difficult to deny the way her groin grew wet and hot whenever she made eye contact or spoke with him.
And finally, last night, she had been completely pierced by Si-woo's cock, losing herself to pleasure and fainting while indiscriminately letting out filthy, animalistic moans that a mother should never let her son hear.
Her body had already surrendered to her son as a female.
Now, even her self-awareness as a mother and the superficial authority of their parent-child relationship, which she had been barely clinging to, seemed to be ruthlessly eroded, swept away by her son's firm and unwavering insistence that felt like a demand for his prey.
The miserable part was how the mother's body grew wet in such a situation, without any agency or resistance.
'Then do this! Mom will lend you the money regardless of your allowance~ Pay me back when you start earning money later! I gave you the card to use if anything happened anyway.'
It was a meaningless delay attempted by a mother by putting her son in her debt.
It was the formal resistance, the last thing a mother could do for her daughter.
—Merely an internal rationalization to alleviate her guilt.—
However, Si-woo, who was already treating his mom with the authority of a master, had no need to understand the hidden intentions behind her favor.
'Really?'
Si-woo asked, as if confirming her approval.
'Yes.'
The mother's answer finalized the deal.
'What's Se-young's clothing size?'
'Size 17 should fit her comfortably.'
Without further hesitation, Si-woo walked into the women's homewear shop and immediately purchased Se-young's one-piece nightgown using his mom's card.
* * *
Si-woo returned to the front of the store Se-hee Noona had entered.
As he waited for her, Se-hee Noona's deep pink cardigan was draped over one of his arms, and in his hand was a shopping bag containing the clothes he had just bought.
—The pink frilled one-piece nightgown to be gifted to Se-young.—
Soon, Se-hee Noona emerged from the luxury boutique, waving a 50,000-won bill and several smaller notes.
She was wearing a shy, awkward smile for Si-woo.
She was happy to have cash on hand, but she seemed a bit regretful about returning the clothes she had liked.
"I got the refund, hee-hee~"
Still, she definitely seemed to be in a good mood.
"Really? That's good."
Si-woo gave her a casual response.
"I thought it would take a long time to verify since I didn't have a guardian with me? But there was a clerk noona who remembered my face, so it was over quickly~"
Se-hee Noona chattered to Si-woo as if boasting of her achievement.
—It seemed she had been a little worried that the refund might not go through.—
"Si-woo, is there anything you want to eat for lunch?"
"Anything's fine with me."
"Really? Then shall we go down to the food court and pick something together?"
As Se-hee Noona spoke, she glanced at Si-woo's erection.
—Si-woo's cock showed no signs of subsiding.—
Then, she noticed the shopping bag on Si-woo's wrist that hadn't been there before and asked him.
"What's that?"
"Oh~ I saw a pretty nightgown for Se-young, so I bought one while you were in the store."
"A gift for Se-young? Everything here in the luxury section must be expensive."
"Yeah, so I paid with Mom's card and agreed to pay her back later."
Si-woo confessed honestly to Se-hee Noona.
"Really? Mom said she'd let you do that?"
Se-hee Noona asked, looking a bit surprised.
"Yeah, when I told her it was a gift for Se-young, Mom said she'd lend me the money~"
"Is that so?"
"I guess so."
After that exchange, Se-hee Noona began to look at Si-woo with suspicious eyes.
She seemed to think for a moment, then her expression softened into a playful one as she cracked a joke.
"But Si-woo, you must have been pretty desperate, huh?"
"About what?"
Not immediately understanding her joke, Si-woo reflexively asked back.
Se-hee Noona approached him and whispered in his ear, just as she had done before.
"I mean Se-young's nightgown~ I guess it works for you even when she's not wearing it yet? If that's the case, you should've told me. I could've let you use my cardigan~ Hehehe."
After saying that, Se-hee Noona started running ahead as if to escape.
Si-woo's face flushed as he realized the meaning of the joke she had whispered.
"Aw, seriously, what are you even talking about!!"
Like a couple playing a childish game, Si-woo waddled after Se-hee Noona, his body made uncomfortable by his erection.
Si-woo's cock seemed to grow even harder than before at Se-hee Noona's mischievous provocation.
