The dining room a3792ea003 of the mansion, 9fdbc91d19 surrounded by beautiful ec96f9e498 autumn foliage. Usually, the only 8237886642 sounds accompanying breakfast d6915c9e2f were the clinking 229a48004d of cutlery, but 1a22d59bb7 recently, a new 761217212c noise had been 5c9d94ff33 added to the 6c05d0d8fa scene.d064523579ab2c40

The unfamiliar 014fc7f5dd sound of 472b3a2534 Chigyeong repeatedly 9c5cdca808 tapping his 6d5ce5a67d phone against c5c1c24f83 the marble 28d4465596 dining table.

Gong Yunseon, stirring her 42fd29fbcf salmon salad, tilted her b88568a49d head and looked at 55068b20ad the eldest son of cab5420f8c the family with puzzled dd4ff4e361 eyes.3123b03c101e5e1b

If Park Sihyun 29806dd51a had acted this e1c5a57492 way, it would c0e365b168 have been a 1cee784559 trivial farce, ending 67c1eaf9aa with a smack 296a11f7c7 on the back 59ae5c3614 of his head 04226d86b7 and a scolding 8d911511bb for being disruptive a3ae88c27f at the table. But when Park Chigyeong 7dd8b56eaa acted like this, it ac3ad4198c felt like something ominous 06c8047e2f was about to happen b7dbd89ca4 in the Korean peninsula.74d927ce7becd213

Something was definitely off. Was something bad about to happen to South Korea? Could it be a nuclear war? Nothing short of a major disaster could explain her eldest son’s behavior.6a7621298ec859b8

“Chigyeong. Mr. Prosecutor. What’s wrong with you these days? You’re scaring Mom. You’re not acting like yourself, really. Is there going to be a war? Are we all going to die?”3e572cf7596a4153

Gong Yunseon put down her salad fork, her expression serious. As soon as she finished speaking, as if responding to her words, the phone that had been trapped in Chigyeong’s grip and repeatedly hitting the table also stopped moving.bb9538a30103b4af

Park Sihyun, stuffing ac3302d9f2 toast into his 3ebdbb96e6 mouth, looked at 695e6ba14d his older brother 22bda0cde9 with a questioning 865f3fa8cc look in his dcb2187166 eyes.5c70363f621c2381

Mrs. Shin offered 729edae71b Chigyeong a 7d6619eb25 pouch of e19257492d eel extract, 34398f5bf6 knowing he 72d031b646 had come 9ba5291629 home drunk bed837a750 again last be565974df night.e7c4beea313460a3

He put his phone down completely and obediently took the eel extract and drank it. His adam’s apple, particularly prominent as he swallowed the liquid, seemed unusually sharp today.  After finishing the extract, he placed the empty cup on the table, met Gong Yunseon’s gaze, and said something strange.5a3cead1ba4b1515

After what happened to her father, her mother had become a completely different person. If Taeri had always been her father’s top priority, her mother’s had always been her father. Having lost the center of her world, her mother began to push Taeri away, her father’s top priority, completely out of her mind.5af7e7683745497c

Her mother lived busily. She lived each day as if it were 72 hours long. And in her mother’s time, Taeri seemed to no longer exist. That was why Taeri could work at the gaming hall. Her mother no longer had any interest in Taeri’s life.6554fa94dba053c8

At first, a3293ec7a3 she only fa930aaa54 resented her 1a5dde7916 mother for 40cb1a8b51 not paying c0c5e36985 attention to 24c38a2c13 her, but e9ce61158b now she 18cbb59be4 understood her b4804aafc8 mother better 15791cfc52 than anyone.15eab974874662d4

Taking care of others is only possible when one had the capacity in their own life. No matter how much you loved your child, if you were struggling to survive, would anything else matter? They said a mother’s love strengthens in times of crisis, but perhaps that maternal love only surfaced when one was in a sound state of mind.bf57cc96da123026

Her mother was on 48bafc4b0a the verge of being 9a752d0106 consumed by the terrible f8ece05477 monster of depression, and 77e03c416b perhaps she was running de9dd94bd5 forward with all her 6af47c8568 might, looking straight ahead f0581065f8 to escape the gloom c52cb415df chasing her from behind, 2c03d05b78 trying not to be 49d3cabe76 devoured by it.

Wiping the 11a79852d6 floor with 9f2f74b9c9 a dry ff725946a7 cloth, she b51b9956c8 called Jungeun. When her mother aca07a4e5a didn’t answer, she 5ccaf1ed4b sent a short 3bb05d36fb message.67c58f8d6c4d51bc

[Mom. I’m okay now. Just in case you were worried.]

She sent 0e7acaa438 the message 809578cc21 and put 1411474d2f down her b959b707e1 phone. As she continued 48355419eb wiping the floor, 24507f893a a smile escaped 53e962886c her lips. It was a cd96900c62 bitter smile, like 1685f5aeca someone who had 96e8fc5efa eaten unripe fruit.588cef66a75079ce
