Do Hye-jeong.
A former actress and the wife of National Assembly member Jeong Dae-ho.
She also becomes Jeong Se-in's stepmother.
About ten years ago, she married Jeong Dae-ho, who had recently lost his wife.
The marriage process itself was not smooth.
At the time, Do Hye-jeong was a leading actress in a popular drama, and Jeong Dae-ho was a promising young politician.
The two first met at a government-led cultural arts support project.
Politicians who attend such events usually only show their faces when it's time to take pictures.
But he was different.
Jeong Dae-ho had a good eye for culture and the arts and participated enthusiastically in the project.
His character and refinement were impeccable. They also communicated well.
He was the perfect man by Do Hye-jeong's standards.
Except for the fact that he was a married man with a child.
Even after the project ended, they maintained a relationship that was more than friends but less than lovers.
Do Hye-jeong didn't back down just because he was a married man.
A new opportunity could come at any time.
A few years later.
Jeong Dae-ho lost his former wife to illness, and the two officially started dating.
A secretly begun relationship.
However, as both were very public figures, the secret relationship didn't last long. The fact of their relationship soon became known to the world.
It was the scandal of the century.
But the scandal didn't end as mere entertainment gossip. Because of Jeong Dae-ho's position, it became politically entangled and turned into a complex issue.
Her husband was strongly attacked by his political opponents.
More precisely, his party, the ruling party, was attacked by the opposition party.
Petty attempts to undermine him continued.
Rumors spread that they had been having an affair before his wife died, that his wife died early because of the shock, that they had driven his wife to her death. Starting with such ridiculous nonsense.
There were also rampant speculations and sophistry, like claims that her husband had acted as Do Hye-jeong's sponsor or that he had exerted pressure during the drama casting process.
Even though it was utterly impossible for him, who had just entered politics, to do such things for her, a top star, people just spread those rumors half for fun.
It was a malicious scandal that was fatal for both her husband and her.
Even after proving the rumors false and winning the lawsuit, people's perceptions didn't change easily.
It seemed like both Do Hye-jeong's acting career and her husband's political life were over.
Her husband said.
That he would take responsibility.
He suggested they get married and move to the countryside.
Her heart wavered at his manly courtship.
She was also growing weary of her hectic life in the entertainment industry.
She announced her retirement from the entertainment industry.
Her husband also stepped back from the front lines of politics.
After marrying, the two moved to the countryside together.
Along with her husband's young daughter.
Since they both had saved up money, there were no financial problems.
It was a rushed marriage.
But her faith in her husband was firm.
The problem was that her relationship with her husband's daughter, Se-in, was still awkward.
But she thought it would be okay.
She believed that living together in the same house after marriage would make things better.
She believed that Se-in was just because she hadn't forgotten her dead mother yet and would soon open her heart.
It was a complacent judgment.
She had thought too lightly of the sensitivity of a girl that age.
Se-in had not yet accepted her birth mother's death. The presence of a stepmother was the same.
In addition, the sudden change of environment due to the move greatly affected Se-in's decision to close the door to her heart.
There were even people who spread rumors in front of Se-in that her birth mother had died because of the stepmother.
Even such trivial matters had a significant impact on the child.
They were only mother and daughter in name; their relationship was worse than that of strangers.
Se-in did not call her mother.
She didn't answer when spoken to. She never started a conversation first.
There were even times when the school called because she had skipped bringing prepared materials, not wanting to talk to her mother.
She tried her best to open Se-in's heart, but her relationship with her daughter only worsened.
Then one day.
"Jeong Se-in! Let's play!"
Se-in made a new friend.
He was the neighborhood boss, the leader of the local kids.
Se-in had had no friends since moving to the countryside.
She was grateful that this friend treated outsiders without discrimination, but she worried about what would happen if Se-in got hurt while playing with the rough boy.
But her worries were unfounded.
Se-in, who had always been depressed after the move, regained her smile after making a friend.
She gained many other friends around her, and her passive personality became more active.
There was just one problem.
The friend's nickname... was a bit unusual.
"Se-in. That... what is 'Juji Wang'?"
She mustered up the courage to ask her daughter.
Then her daughter, who usually wouldn't even respond when asked, answered proudly.
"Juji Wang is called that because his *juji* is king-sized!"
"R-really?"
It was embarrassing, but they were just children's words.
She thought she shouldn't judge her daughter's rare friend by adult standards.
If she handled it wrong, Se-in, who had just started to open up, might distance herself again.
"Jiwana. Please be good friends with our Se-in."
"Don't worry! Se-in is my best friend!"
Even when he came over to play, the friend was endlessly kind.
She didn't think he would be a bad influence on her daughter.
"Se-in! Your mom is really pretty!"
"R-really?"
"Yeah! The prettiest among my friends' moms, no, the prettiest person I've ever seen!"
"Hehe... well, you know, later... *whisper whisper*..."
"...Huh? What's that?"
Not many children could say such things so casually.
Se-in's friend, Ji-wan, was a very pure and honest child.
And he firmly made Se-in recognize Do Hye-jeong as 'Se-in's mom'.
She was most grateful for that. It was also from that time that Se-in started calling her 'Mom'.
Three years passed like that in the countryside.
Her husband decided to return to politics.
Her husband was an ambitious man. He wasn't the type to rot away in a rural area forever.
The party also needed young talent. And her husband was the perfect person to revitalize the party's aging image.
So the whole family moved back to Seoul.
Se-in was sad to leave her friend but didn't throw a tantrum.
"If there are meetings, there must be partings! Let's become cool men and meet again later!"
The friend's words, while giving her a tight hug, probably steadied her daughter's heart.
...Though she didn't know why they had to become 'cool men' to meet again.
And so, her husband made a spectacular return to Yeouido.
Se-in, who had returned to Seoul, had a completely changed personality. She now acted as the leader at school.
Although the direction was a bit unusual for a girl... it wasn't a bad direction.
She thought it was just because she took after her father, being strong-willed and driven.
As time passed, her husband became a senior member of a major party.
Her daughter, Se-in, also wielded powerful influence at school under her father's halo.
Do Hye-jeong quietly watched over it all.
She always stayed a step back from the center of the household, focusing solely on supporting her family.
This quiet life suited Do Hye-jeong better than her hectic days as a celebrity.
It was regrettable that her husband had become so busy that he neglected the family, but it was unavoidable.
These occasional events in her peaceful life became her source of vitality.
"Uh, hello, I'm a friend of Jeong Se-in. Juji Wang, no, my name is Juji Wan. Is Se-in there?"
'Juji Wang'.
Hearing that name made her very happy.
There couldn't be two people in the world with that nickname. So it was definitely Se-in's childhood friend.
"Whoa! Uh, a stunning beauty!"
It was indeed that friend.
Even as an adult, Do Hye-jeong recognized him at a glance.
"Oh my. It's definitely the Ji-wan I know. Your way of speaking is still amusing."
Other friends of Se-in were also visiting the house.
Among them, Ji-wan was the only boy. And he was the first boy Se-in had ever brought home.
Perhaps Ji-wan and Se-in were dating. Se-in had liked Ji-wan especially since she was young.
Making such pleasant assumptions, Do Hye-jeong ushered Ji-wan into the house.
And a little later. She had to admit how unaware of reality she was.
-Kyaaah! Aaah!
A noisy sound started coming from her daughter's room.
Since laughter was also mixed in, it seemed there was no problem. They were probably just playing a game or something.
But Do Hye-jeong's thoughts soon changed.
-Aah! No! Haaah!
No matter how she listened, it sounded strange.
As the mother of this house, she couldn't overlook it.
But she was also hesitant to interfere unnecessarily while the kids were playing. Especially since Se-in really hated that sort of thing.
They all seemed like nice, well-behaved kids.
She believed it was just her imagination and that nothing strange was happening.
-Unghhaaaaat-!
...Her belief was gradually eroding.
No matter how much she tried to believe, it only sounded strange.
If she pressed her ear to the door, she could hear panting, delicate moans, and voices mixed with coquettishness.
Something wrong was happening in the room.
But she couldn't barge in recklessly. A misstep could cause a decisive rift in her relationship with Se-in.
So, Do Hye-jeong decided to quietly open the door and peek inside.
Turning the doorknob, the door opened silently, and the scene inside was revealed through the crack.
Simultaneously, the sounds became clear.
"......!!"
Do Hye-jeong covered her mouth with her hand.
She felt like she might scream at the shocking scene unfolding in the room.
"Haaak, Ji, Ji-wan, a little slower...!"
"Heuuu. Heuuuung."
"Ooh! Juji Wang! A lightning-fast piston!"
"Do you have to bring that up all the time! It's still on cooldown!"
Unless Do Hye-jeong's eyes were deceiving her, an orgy was happening in the room.
Four naked men and women. Se-in's friends, Gwak Jo-young and Juji Wan, were in the middle of the act, and next to them, the junior Yoon Ji-yoon was lying face down on the floor. Her rolled-back eyes and panting state made it look like she was already finished.
'What in the world...!'
She knew that Se-in led her friends around and caused quite a ruckus.
But to think she would do something like this...
And in our house!
Do Hye-jeong was so shocked she couldn't do anything.
She could only blankly watch what was happening in the room.
"Haaa... Ji-wan...."
"Are you next, Se-in?"
"Good. Lick my foot."
"Wait... let's clean up first...."
Gwak Jo-young pulled out the genital she had been inserting into Juji Wang.
Then, a surprisingly large-sized penis slid out from Gwak Jo-young's vagina.
'...It's huge!'
Do Hye-jeong's eyes widened in shock at the sight.
'Juji Wang is called that because his *juji* is king-sized!'
The words Se-in had said when she was young suddenly came to mind.
That wasn't just kids' talk.
"Ooh! Jo-young, you've gotten better at sucking."
"Hehe. *Chuurup*."
"Huwaaa...."
Se-in's friend, Gwak Jo-young, sucked and licked Juji Wang's genitals as if they were delicious.
Watching this, Do Hye-jeong's heart strangely fluttered. She could feel her body heating up.
A world she didn't know was unfolding beyond this door.
"......!!"
For a moment, she made eye contact with her daughter, Jeong Se-in.
Do Hye-jeong, startled, immediately retreated from her spot.
"Haa, haa...."
Returning to the master bedroom, Do Hye-jeong gasped for the breath she had been holding.
Her heart wouldn't stop pounding.
And she couldn't forget the face of her daughter, who had looked at her and smiled slyly.
