The Morning After the First Night
This is...? The cohabitation with Mother-in-law has begun.
On the first day, I unpacked her bags and started cleaning the house that had been neglected for too long. Indeed, a house like this must have been meant to have a woman inside it. The place was a complete mess—nothing like the home it should have been. By the time we finished sorting everything together, the sun had already set.
Slosh—slosh—slosh—
“Ugh… What kind of liquor did you drink?”
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. Just don’t drink that much from now on, okay?”
“Yes… What?”
Everywhere in the house, empty liquor bottles lay scattered. Roughly two hundred bottles. It had taken us quite some time to clear them all away.
“Huu… After cleaning like this, I’m so hot.”
“Really? Would you like to shower?”
“Sure. I have two bathrooms anyway.”
The villa my mother-in-law had prepared for us back when we were rich—40 pyeong with one main bathroom and one smaller one.
“Mother-in-law, you can use the living room bathroom.”
“Is that okay?”
“Of course. I don’t mind at all.”
“Thank you, Kim Seobang.”
I gave her the main bathroom and headed to the smaller one attached to my own room. Fifteen minutes later.
“Huu… So refreshing.”
The sweat I hadn’t felt in ages made the relief even stronger. Maybe that was why? Naturally, my mouth watered for a beer.
“Let me see…”
I forgot about Mother-in-law for a moment and stepped out to the living room, opening the fridge—only to find no beer inside.
“Tsk, I’ll have to get some.”
Shower—shower—
No beer, but the sound of running water from the shower echoed from the bathroom. Since it must have been Mother-in-law bathing, I quietly dressed and headed to the nearby convenience store.
My steps were light. The dried-out skin and the blood cells swimming inside my body began to move with renewed vigor.
Just like this… Could I forget Seul-ah?
“Let me check… Mother-in-law does drink a bit, doesn’t she?”
I reached the convenience store with light footsteps. Shelves full of products, yet all I saw were liquor bottles. Still, it was time to quench my thirst for a cold beer.
“Hmph…”
I’d never drunk with Mother-in-law before, and naturally she had warned me to drink “in moderation” today.
But this first day of cohabitation being the first drink? That was unexpected.
“Still, a beer won’t hurt, right? It’s cold.”
Though it was early winter and the wind was chilly, the heat from the day’s cleaning made today the perfect day for a beer.
In the end, I bought several cans of beer and a few snacks and headed back home.
Ting ling—
“Mother-in-law already finished everything… me?”
“Huh? Kim Seobang?”
I unlocked the door, stepped inside, and saw Mother-in-law in the living room. Her long, wet hair was twisted up, and droplets of water slid down her neck, soaking through the folds of her robe and pooling between her breasts.
“Here, Mother-in-law…”
“Huh? Oh my! Look at me! I’m sorry, Kim Seobang.”
Whoosh—
Tap—!!
The moment Mother-in-law realized her state, she hurried toward her room with surprising speed, leaving me alone in the living room.
“Why… why are you apologizing, Mother-in-law?”
Swallow—
Impossible. In that split second, the image had burned itself into my mind.
******
A short while later, the brilliant moment had passed, and Mother-in-law appeared again—still as radiant as ever. She wore a long, one-piece dress that reached her ankles and a thin cardigan over it as she came out to the living room.
Beautiful… so beautiful.
What else needed to be said? Especially the enormous breasts she had that my wife had lacked, which made my throat tighten.
“Here, Mother-in-law. A glass of beer?”
“Huh? Beer? Kim Seobang wants to drink again?”
“Just a little. I’ll let you adjust the amount yourself.”
“That… you’re so bold again.”
Worried she might do something she’d regret while drunk, I was pleasantly surprised when she cheerfully accepted my request and began setting up the simple snacks.
We started with one light beer at the kitchen table and ended up chatting for quite some time.
And then… she told me her story.
“I’ll fill Seul-ah’s empty spot. I will.”
Seul-ah’s empty spot… Did she know?
To fill that spot… would you have to cross a line? Do you really think that’s okay?
“Why… why would you do something like that?”
I was curious. Why all the way? What did I have to be to her?! I truly wanted to know.
Normally, it would have been impossible to understand.
Yet Mother-in-law’s answer was always the same.
“Family… That’s all.”
“Family…”
Family. What a wonderful word.
The hanja for family, 家 (집 가), looks like hair on top combined with a pig. It means a group of people living together under one roof. In the past, it referred to cherished people living together under one roof.
If we were truly family… Seul-ah shouldn’t have done that to me…
Indeed… we truly were family.
“I’ll do it better than you, Kim Seobang.”
“……”
Mother-in-law…
Even now, with Seul-ah gone, the woman who continued to call me “Kim Seobang” and the man who still called her “Mother-in-law” were both unable to comprehend the situation.
Gulp—gulp—gulp—
“Kyah…!! So refreshing!”
“Hehe, it really is. It’s been so long. Drinking with someone…”
One sip, two sips… and soon it became one can, then two. When I asked, curious.
“Mother-in-law… aren’t you going to remarry?”
“Remarry?”
“Yes. With you around that age, there must be many suitors nearby…”
It was actually the part I found hardest to understand.
Although she had lived in America and given birth to Seul-ah and her younger sister Min-ah in the flames of young love, Mother-in-law’s appearance didn’t lack anywhere, and her figure… well, there’s no need to describe it.
On top of that, the wealth she received from the lawsuit made her a true chaebol in Korea. Of course she shouldn’t have been left alone.
p>
Yet why? As far as I knew, Mother-in-law didn’t date, had no men around her, and had no special hobbies. Her only activities seemed to be yoga and swimming at home.
“Huu… Remarry… I haven’t thought about it.”
Really?
At thirty-eight, with her youthful appearance, beauty, and wealth. Even though she had adult daughters, it seemed fine since they were already adults.
“Then…?”
“No, hehe. I don’t have any particular desire, and I don’t see any reason to.”
“But you’re still young.”
“Really? I’ve already learned too much about the world too early, and I already have a son-in-law. Hehe.”
Mother-in-law smiled while saying it, but… why did “I already have a son-in-law” feel so bitter on my tongue?
“Slightly drunk now.”
“Shall we stop?”
“Yeah, I think so. Kim Seobang, you’re all right with that?”
“Yes, I’ve drunk enough to feel good.”
After one can, two cans… before we knew it, we’d finished six cans together. I was used to drinking, so it was fine, but Mother-in-law looked different. Her face was flushed, and her movements were starting to sway.
“Then… I should get up first. I’ll clear this tomorrow, so just leave it. Understood?”
“Yes… I’ll do that.”
Then… creak—
Mother-in-law slowly stood up. She pushed the chair back, and the moment she rose her body!!
“Oh no…!!”
“Mother-in-law!!”
After sitting and drinking, when she suddenly stood up… dizziness hit her. Mother-in-law swayed, and I startled and stood up to support her.
But, of all times…
Squish—
“Mother-in-law…”
“Huh? Why?”
Big trouble. In my panic, I reached out my arms… and ended up supporting her breasts from below.
Mother-in-law’s enormous breasts, soft and enveloping my arms. In my bewilderment, I called out to her, but she looked at me with no sign of anything wrong, and after a moment.
“Hehe, thank you, Kim Seobang. You were holding me?”
“Huh? Ah… yes…”
“Hehe… I’m a bit dizzy… Why like this…?”
“Huh?”
No way… after just a few cans of beer?
“Kim Seobang… help me to my room… quul… quul…”
“Mother-in-law?”
What? No way she was asking for help to sleep like this? Having her huge breasts resting on my forearm like that?
Unknowingly, I ended up hugging her. Already warm from the alcohol, I couldn’t stop myself from getting hard when she slept so helplessly in my arms. Throb—!!
Because I was holding her from behind, my erection naturally pressed against her butt.
“Th-this…”
There was no helping it. The situation didn’t allow me to suppress my instincts right now.
The only choice I had was one. “Let’s go… quickly…”
I hurriedly carried her to her room and myself to my own. That was how…
“Surprisingly… light.”
I carried the soft Mother-in-law to her room and slowly turned my body.
“Huu…”
Whoosh—
Step—step—
Clunk?
I laid her on the bed, turned my body, and came out toward the door—only to find myself unable to take the last step.
Slowly… swish—
My head turned again, and “Ah…”
The final sight of Mother-in-law sleeping. Her one-piece dress had ridden up, exposing her long, slender thighs. Because she was lying on her side, her top had slipped and her cleavage was fully visible.
Swallow—
Just like this… just like this… I turned my steps just a little… sway—sway—
“Are you crazy, Kim Seobang?! No matter how hungry, with Mother-in-law…”
To protect the line I could never cross, I scolded myself and somehow managed to turn my steps.
So I headed to my own room to deal with the unquenchable desire—three times in a row. And then, slowly exhausted, I fell asleep.
The next day.
I woke early, out of shame from the previous day, and quietly left the house to go to the sauna.
While I was away, when Mother-in-law woke up…
“Huh? Where did Kim Seobang go?”
As soon as I opened my eyes, I looked for Kim Seobang. When he was gone, I first felt worried, but soon shook it off and started checking his room to continue cleaning.
But…
“Huh? What’s this tissue… Huh? Th-this…!!”
