65. Parents (3)

1.

The shower ended as quickly as ever.

I don’t even know what spirit I took a shower with.

I have memories of going to the bathroom, but it feels like those memories have been erased.

Anyway, I didn’t have the mind to concentrate on taking a shower.

Washing up after a workout is really happy, but this time, that pleasure didn’t exist at all.

Anyway, when I returned to my room after taking a shower, I saw Han Seung-gi, who was sitting at his desk, hiding something in a hurry.

This analogy might not be appropriate for a boy, but it’s like watching something dirty and then hiding it.

… ….

Has this analogy crossed the line?

But what were you really doing?

“Uh… What were you doing…?”

“Just, that… Well…”

Han Seung-gi seemed to want to gloss over what he was doing, but he put on an expression that seemed troubled whether he knew it was impossible.

Within seconds, he slowly pulled out what he had hidden under the desk.

“… A reference book?”

“I don’t have anything to do…”

Hiding a reference book like you would hide a raunchy magazine.

Did you watch it secretly because I told you not to look?

When I’m with Han Seung-gi, I always seem to witness shocking scenes. Could that be true madness?

Anyway.

There were also minor errors today.

That underwear from earlier, and the reference book from earlier.

Still, trivial things are trivial anyway.

As I regained my usual tension, I dragged a chair next to Han Seung-gi and sat down.

“Did Min Ah-rin do something like this?”

“Game?”

“I knew I was playing games, but since I had a switch, I wondered if I liked games that much.”

“I don’t do that much. I bought some, but… Honestly, I haven’t used that many.”

I like games, but I’m a person who likes sports more than that, and I tend to exercise more when I play games.

I bought a switch a while ago, but to be honest, I don’t remember using it that much.

It was almost like a decoration.

Still. Regardless of how I was treated in the past, I think it’s good that I now have something to write about.

While thinking that, I turned on the switch.

I regretted neglecting the switch.

“Does the screen look boring?”

“That’s…”

“Is the switch usually this wide open? I used it for the first time today.”

“It seems there is only one game…”

“…….”

“…….”

The power of the switch was turned on and the main screen appeared.

There was only one game that could be found on the main screen.

… ….

Coming to think of it, I don’t remember playing multiple games on this Switch.

If that was the end, it wouldn’t have been a problem.

As long as it’s a good game to play with friends, like Mario Kart or Mario Party, it doesn’t matter if you have one or two.

By the way.

The only game I ever played was Ring Fit Adventure.

To explain in a very simple way……. Exercise game.

“Ring feet?”

“Ah, this is…”

“What is it?”

“……. A game that works out.”

“Sports game?”

“No, we have to exercise ourselves.”

“…….”

“…….”

It feels different from sports games.

It’s not like playing soccer or baseball by manipulating players with a keyboard, it’s a game where you have to move your body as if you were doing a gym.

So we are now.

After working out intensely for a while, I took a shower because I was sweating profusely, and now I was going to rest comfortably.

Such a situation where the content I was trying to do while resting became exercise.

I hate Min Ah-rin from the past.

If you bought a switch to play games, why did you bother to find and enjoy exercise games?

And if you bought a game machine, you will play a lot of games.

You went outside saying that basketball games were more fun.

However, the fortunate thing was that Han Seung-gi showed interest in the game.

“Working out…”

“I’m just doing squats or something…”

“Are you just going to keep working out?”

“They do damage to enemy monsters through exercise.”

“Oh.”

Looking at that reaction, I think it would be okay if I hated Min Ah-rin of the past a little less.

“Would you like to try it if you’re interested? This… It might be a bit like if I come back after working out…”

“It doesn’t matter to me…….. But you fell hard earlier.”

“Oh that one? That thing, it didn’t hurt. It doesn’t hurt that much anymore.”

“…A lying look?”

“What…!……Okay, let’s go out and do this. The room is too small.”

“…….”

He used to look at me suspiciously, but now Min Ah-rin can control Han Seung-gi’s emotions.

It’s a bit of an exaggeration, but anyway, the ability to lie has grown to that extent.

Perhaps.

After I said that, I rummaged through the drawers and found equipment for ring feet. He moved straight into the living room.

I can’t stop Han Seung-gi from wanting to do it just because of a minor wound from a woman.

I just have to put up with the pain for a little bit, but isn’t the game becoming a memory?

And when you exercise, you forget everything that hurts.

2.

Sometimes, there are people like that.

There are people who say that when you exercise, you don’t feel any pain or difficulty.

I think all of that is a lie.

… ….

At least I don’t think it applies to me.

Does this hurt too much?

A half hour since the game started.

The game was going well, and that nasty-looking character kept giving us exercises.

I think it was pretty good in the beginning.

I felt like I was getting used to it because I kept feeling the bitterness, and it was nice to see Han Seung-gi enjoying the game satisfactorily.

By the way. More we do.

Perhaps it was because the long pants I had worn to cover the wound had rubbed the wound, it felt like the pain was getting worse.

Even so. Stopping the game, that’s what I didn’t like.

I really enjoyed these 30 minutes.

For convenience, this game could only be enjoyed by one person, so we took turns playing the game, barely talking and concentrating on it.

It’s a different feeling from chatting normally or exercising during gym class.

I wasn’t doing anything special, just taking turns playing the game, but I was able to feel a great sense of happiness.

It was good to exchange controllers with Han Seung-gi for a while, and it was good to be happy together when we accomplished something.

It’s not the first time I’ve played games with a friend, and it’s not the first time I’ve been exercising with a friend, but for some reason, since I’m doing this with Han Seung-gi, I just thought it was something different.

What was unfortunate was that this wound was getting worse…….

I was playing a game, but my heart was pounding a lot today, so my stamina was consumed quickly.

Han Seung-gi seemed very tired, perhaps because he had been playing badminton vigorously earlier.

“Min Ah-rin, whoa…, Will you do more now?”

“Ah… Okioki. I’ll finish it.”

Still. I can’t show myself giving up in front of Han Seung-gi because I have no stamina.

Um.

I wonder if I’m not usually the kind of person who thinks of pride like this…….

Certainly these days, I seem to want to look a little cool in front of men.

Isn’t it? I don’t want to look cool in front of Cheon Se-joon.

…… I do not know.

Anyway, I took the controller he gave me and stepped forward.

Then, as the nasty-looking character instructed, he bent his knees to get into a squat position.

“Ah! … Write it…”

From noble mtl dot com

Along with that, a stronger pain came up from the wound than before.

“……Min Ah-rin.”

Again, with him. A cold voice echoed from behind me.

“Uh… Han Seung-gi…, I can explain everything…?”

“You said you weren’t hurt earlier.”

“Ah…! This is not an injury! I was just twisted for a moment… Evil!”

I tried to make an excuse, but he swung his hand towards my knee.

I don’t think he meant to hit my knee.

Just.

I was startled and avoided his hand, but the wound was rubbed on my clothes, so I made another noise.

I can’t take it off or beat it anymore.

“This… Just play some more games and you’ll wake up soon! Wait a minute…”

“Hey.”

“Yes.”

“Roll up your pants.”

“Yes?”

“…….”

“Yes…”

… …. It’s the first time I’ve seen Han Seung-gi make that expression.

How can a guy with almost no change in expression make such a bloody expression?

Even in the midst of that, the expression wasn’t scary because of the innocent look, but the atmosphere became seriously chilly.

No, I was hurt.

Why is he so angry?

Thank you, but honestly, I’m scared because he’s like that.

In that chilly atmosphere, I pulled up my pants as per Han Seung-gi’s command…….

Uh.

Why aren’t you going up?

… ….

There’s nothing quite right about it.

3.

If you ask me why I got angry when Min Ah-rin was injured.

To be honest, I don’t know either.

Just seeing her in pain made me feel uncomfortable and frustrated.

I’m a guy who doesn’t have much interest in others, and I’m not very good at empathy.

I felt disappointed when he didn’t notice that he was hurt and asked me to play an exercise game.

Where did he sell his eyes?

Min Ah-rin held on to her pants and thought about her, and then said that her hem wouldn’t go up, so she went back to her room to change into other pants.

Until just now, she thought of arguing why she had been foolishly holding back her wounds.

I don’t know why my heart is so stuffy. It was something I didn’t want to see him get hurt at all, and putting up with it because of me wasn’t pleasant at all.

However, I thought that I would not be able to say anything because the pulse was cut off like this.

Well, it’s not a good thing to shout at an injured child.

On the contrary, it’s a good thing.

While Minah Lin was changing her clothes, I went to find her medicine chest she told me about.

When I opened it, all sorts of medical supplies were inside. Is this how rich families live?

Anyway, this was a good thing.

Soon I heard Min Ah-rin calling me from the room.

She told me to call me to her room when she changed her clothes because she couldn’t even move the injured child.

“There, sit in a chair.”

“Yes.”

“Don’t talk respectfully.”

“Yes.”

I took some antiseptic from her medicine cabinet and started applying it to her wound.

“Write… Ha…”

“Does it hurt a lot?”

“No, well, it hurts just a little bit. This much… Ah!”

“Don’t hold onto it.”

“Yes…”

But, as I was doing that, I heard a faint sound from outside.

Isn’t it?

I think I heard various sounds, maybe it’s because the room is so well-insulated, or I just heard it wrong.

“…… Didn’t you hear something, Min Ah-rin?”

“My screams?”

“Not that.”

“Well… I can’t hear you.”

“Did I hear that wrong?”

“It could be.”

The question remained, but since it was not particularly important, I continued to apply the medicine.

Min Ah-rin made a peculiar noise, perhaps because her wound was in a lot of pain.

“Ha ha…. Uhh! Uhhh…”

“Be patient. I’ll finish it soon.”

“I can’t stand it…”

“The mother’s skin…Then can you make it a little softer?”

“Huh… Let’s just finish it quickly. You can do it hard.”

“Okay. I’ll just do it quickly.”

A kid who used to try so hard to hide his pain, now he’s doing this because he’s sick with medicine.

It’s cute because high school students are doing this.

But as soon as that conversation was over.

A strange noise was heard again.

4.

Han Seung-gi was completely out of his mind because of applying the disinfectant, but this time he could clearly hear it.

It was the sound of something falling, and unlike before, it was quite loud.

Just now, I wondered what Han Seung-gi was talking about, but this time I could definitely hear it.

“Han Seung-gi, wait a minute… Ah.”

Um.

I was sitting with my back to the door.

Han Seung-gi was kneeling in front of him.

If someone opened the door, he would know that Han Seung-gi was there, but he wouldn’t have been able to see it properly.

I turned his head back toward the source of the sound. In the slightly open crack in the door, the source of the sound, I could see two adults.

A very friendly-looking adult man and a very bloody-looking adult woman.

He had an outstanding appearance during his childhood, but at the same time, he had a mature face.

My parents.

“Uh…”

And I thought of our appearance again.

A man was on his knees wearing a high-necked T-shirt.

The woman in front of him was wearing short dolphin pants and she was sitting on a chair in front of the man.

The two of them were panting and sweating as if they had been exhausted for a long time.

Because I had taken a shower earlier, the room smelled fragrant and faintly smelled of sweat.

The woman continued to moan.

The man knelt in front of her and was busy moving.

“What’s wrong? Soften it up?”

“Ummm…”

“…….”

“…….”

No sound came out of the mouths of the three except for Han Seung-gi.

“You’re back.”

From the expression on her face, she knew right away that her mother had the same thoughts as I did.
