Passing the Course Exam – A Small Rebellion with Mom
The morning of the course exam, Jin-yeong had passed the written test. A week later, the course exam itself was set to take place.
Every morning, Suyeon dropped Jin-yeong off at the academy, then came back at the end of the day’s classes to pick him up. Throughout those weeks, light touches happened in the car, but the scene I had been waiting for never materialized.
She must have had her reasons.
I left the house early, settled into my office chair, sipped my coffee, and opened the monitoring window.

The driver’s door opened and Suyeon slid in. A moment later, Jin-yeong took the passenger seat.
“Jin-yeong~ Don’t say it twice. Have you forgotten something?”
“Yup, the very first thing I do when I get in the car is give my favorite person a deep kiss. I guess I forgot that one.”
“Oh my, you’re so cheeky. Besides that…”
“I know. Seatbelt.”
Click
Both fastened their belts and looked at each other.
“What? Did something get on my face?”
“No. Mom is just too beautiful.”
“Hah! I know you’re pretty too, don’t I? That’s beside the point. You know today is the course exam day, right, Jin-yeong?”
“Yes, ma’am. I’m ready. I’ll pass the exam nicely.”
“Ho-ho, I know. Let’s go.”
Jin-yeong leaned toward Suyeon and gave her cheek a quick kiss.
Mwah
“Mom, you have to drive. Be careful, Jin-yeong, okay?”
Her son’s spring-pickup look—white-and-black striped knit and the light-brown skirt that ended right at his knees—evoked a fresh spring day. The beautiful line of her neck, highlighted by the necklace I had given her, was always stunning. The black hair she tied into a ponytail that fell past her shoulders beautifully showed off the curve of her nape that I loved most.
“Mom, no matter how many times I see it, your fashion sense is amazing. You’re amazing.”
“Thank you for the compliment. You know the saying—healthy mind, healthy body? To love others, you have to love yourself first. Self-care is essential. Don’t think of my nagging as a scold, got it?”
“Haha. So it’s not just about clothes, but also fitness management, huh? With all the high-difficulty poses, I’m actually getting stronger, Mom… hehe.”
“Oh my, now you’re embarrassing Mom. I told you to manage your fitness, not to take something off your body.”
“Haha. Mom, I didn’t say anything.”
“Hmph! You’re lucky to be young.”
“Ee, the women who suck in young men’s energy are pretty good too, right?”
“Ho-ho, I guess that’s not entirely wrong. Don’t you think my skin has gotten even smoother lately?”
“Yes, that’s true. That’s why.”
“I get it. Let’s focus on the course exam today.”
“Yes.”
They chatted on and on until they reached the license academy.
“Here we are. Jin-yeong, don’t get nervous. Just do what you learned at the academy. After the exam, let’s have lunch together—my date with Mom.”
“Whoa, a date with Mom… sounds great.”
Click
Each door opened and closed, and the screen showed only Suyeon’s car.
I closed the monitoring window and focused on my work.
By eleven o’clock.
After finishing morning duties, I ate lunch in the company cafeteria. Even though it was a hot summer day, I suddenly wanted to walk instead of sitting at my desk.
From the cafeteria I pulled out a cigarette and lit it with my lighter.
“Hoo.”
I took a deep drag and exhaled the smoke.
Because walking and smoking was already known as a bad habit, I didn’t want to be seen as rude. I found the smoking area nearby, finished the cigarette, and strolled slowly around the neighborhood.
Even under the dense green canopy, it wasn’t oppressively hot.
Now Jin-yeong should have finished the course exam. The results will come out soon.
I texted Suyeon.
Me: Honey, did Jin-yeong do well on his exam?
Suyeon: Yes, he just finished the road test. He passed the course exam smoothly!
Me: Oh, perfect score on the first try.
Suyeon: Not at all. We’re heading to lunch now. I have to feed Jin-yeong his favorite thing.
Me: Good. Let me guess… LA ribs?
Suyeon: Yes! But I like it too, ho-ho.
Me: I like it too. Let’s eat together as a family later. Enjoy your lunch.
Suyeon: Yes, see you later, honey.
Soon Jin-yeong would be old enough to drive himself. Being a legal adult and behind the wheel felt surreal, yet every time I saw my handsome son I felt a quiet, fierce pride.
I returned to the office, opened the monitoring program again, and sure enough—Jin-yeong was still riding with Suyeon.
— Inside Suyeon’s Car —
“Oh, Jin-yeong, congratulations on passing the second test! You did amazingly well.”
“Haha, thank you, Mom. This is all thanks to you.”
“What? I just drove you to the academy. You’re the one who studied hard.”
“Still, because Mom helped me, I passed in one go.”
“Only one test left. Do your best. Congratulations again, Jin-yeong.”
As she spoke, Suyeon gently hugged him.
Instantly Jin-yeong leaned in and kissed her deeply.
“Mmm… no. Jin-yeong. People are walking by. What if someone sees us?”
After a brief kiss, Suyeon pulled back and told him.
“No one can see from outside. If I bring my face close to the window it just looks blurry.”
“Still…”
Even as she said that, Suyeon gave him a deep kiss.
Her tongue slipped inside his mouth and they tangled together.
“Mmm… chup.”
They acted out a natural kiss as if they were a couple. Watching it made me both jealous and painfully aroused. This routine always excited me.
Through the windshield I could see exam candidates and academy instructors hurrying around. Even in the most ordinary moments, their secret kisses stirred me more.
After a long kiss, Suyeon slowly pulled away, her lips glistening.
“This is the kiss of a course-exam success gift.”
“Mom, that was sweet honey.”
“I just kissed you. Your lips are mixed with my saliva.”
“I like that even more.”
She guided his hand to his crotch.
Suyeon glanced at him and squeezed the growing bulge through his pants.
“Mom, I love you.”
“Not yet. The celebration gift was only the kiss. That’s enough.”
“Hiiing…”
“You’re so pretty. Now let’s go eat. Mom booked a restaurant that serves amazing LA ribs.”
“But…”
Jin-yeong gave her a disappointed look.
“I know. Because Dad is home, we can’t do it at the house. That’s why I’ve been pent-up.”
“Eh, that’s true.”
“Hah, Mom knows everything. Okay. When you pass the final exam, I’ll think about it.”
“Really? Yay!”
“Yes, but not at home. Somewhere else… outside the house.”
“Got it. Yay… I love you, Mom.”
“Sigh… you’re still such a baby. Ho-ho. Let’s eat now. Seatbelt, Jin-yeong.”
“Yes.”
I could see how happy Jin-yeong looked.
That was it. Because I was at home, they couldn’t be together physically. For a while they had been forbidden from their usual relationship, so Jin-yeong must have been frustrated, and Suyeon as well. But she would never have let him have sex with someone else outside. Their pure, devoted love had finally allowed a tiny act of rebellion even while I was there.
At that thought my own cock hardened instantly.
After finishing afternoon work, I went straight home.
— Evening, our family dining table —
For the first time in a long time, our family was eating dinner together. Jin-yeong sat beside Suyeon; I sat across from them and lifted a piece of Suyeon’s stir-fried pork belly with chopsticks to my mouth.
Suyeon’s face, as if expecting something, gave me a cheese-doll expression.
“As expected, the food your husband makes is the best. What’s your secret?”
“Ho-ho, no secret. I just think of you when I cook. Does that mean love is in every bite?”
“Hah, the secret to this delicious food is love.”
“Yes. Hurry and eat. I only had a little because Jin-yeong and I ate late for lunch.”
“Dad, I know you’re full when you turn around, right? I ate a lot earlier, but I’m still hungry. Haha.”
“Haha, eat whatever you want.”
“Honey, did you know what happened at the restaurant today?”
“What? Someone trying to steal your number?”
“No, actually… I went to a meat place for lunch and was sitting waiting for the food. The waitress kept staring at me.”
“Oh? Did my love pheromones reach her?”
“That’s why I was eating with Jin-yeong and pretending not to notice. She came over and said, ‘Excuse me, but I was curious. Is the person with you your younger lover? You two are so beautiful and handsome.’ That kind of thing.”
“Whoa.”
“So I answered, ‘Aigoo, no way… that’s my Mom. We’re celebrating Jin-yeong passing his course exam with lunch. People always ask.’ ”
“You do look young and beautiful, of course…”
“Yes, Dad. The waitress asked me if I had a boyfriend earlier… hah.”
“Then the staff girl said, ‘Oh, I didn’t know that. I’m so sorry. You look so young. You really look like a couple.’ That happened too.”
“So what did you say?”
“Jin-yeong and I just looked at each other and laughed. ‘Hahaha, yes, thank you.’ I wasn’t upset. Outside, there are so many people who see us as an age-gap couple.”
“Even I think you look in your late twenties. Hah, I’m having a love that transcends generations.”
