Chapter 1128

〈 Chapter 1128 〉 1128. The Academy’s Savior

The car speeding down the highway pulled into a rest area for breakfast.

Choi Da-yeon, after visiting the restroom, crossed her arms arrogantly and looked around with superiority.

“This is a rest area? The restroom’s clean… well, not bad.”

I approached her.

“Choi Da-yeon. Is this your first time at a rest area?”

“……!”

“Why so surprised?”

“…Don’t sneak up on me like that, will you? I’m kinda sensitive to that sort of thing.”

“I wasn’t exactly trying to be stealthy.”

“Do you have something to say?”

“Not really. Just thought I’d say hi since I saw you. Did you take care of business?”

Choi Da-yeon’s face turned slightly red.

“That’s rude.”

She glared at me and then turned away. I explained about the rest area while waiting for the others with her. Later, we all went to the cafeteria together for breakfast. Picky eater that I am, I settled for the kimbap made by Lee Si-eun.

“Since we’ve stopped by the rest area, it’d be heartless to leave right away. Let’s hang out a bit. You’re free to move around for 30 minutes.”

Seong Ha-ri said. We scattered in different directions. Lee Si-eun and Ryu Hana approached Seong Ha-ri, Choi Da-yeon toured the rest area with Lee Kang-ho. I was thinking of buying a drink at the convenience store when Kim Cheon-woo and Ma Jin-bae trailed behind me like lost puppies.

“Why are you following? Do you need anything from the convenience store?”

Ma Jin-bae stared silently at Kim Cheon-woo.

Kim Cheon-woo forced a somewhat stiff smile before speaking.

“Yu-jin. I’ve always admired Lady Seong Ha-ri.”

“…And?”

“I want to give her a small gift. Could you tell me what she likes or what kind of food she enjoys?”

It was obvious what Kim Cheon-woo was up to.

“Is it really out of admiration?”

Kim Cheon-woo flinched.

“O-of course.”

“Are you having strange thoughts? My mom looks young and pretty, but guys who try anything funny usually end up regretting it and running away.”

Of course, those men only end up regretting it. Seong Ha-ri isn’t just any woman. Kim Cheon-woo and Ma Jin-bae are only being friendly because they’re my friends.

“H-Haha. What do you take me for? I’m not that kind of guy. Besides, how big is the age gap between me and Lady Seong Ha-ri…?”

He waved his hands as he denied it. I didn’t believe him. Kim Cheon-woo officially has a thing for older women. Who knows, maybe he fell for Seong Ha-ri at first sight.

“My mom likes luxury goods.”

“Luxury goods?”

“My mom comes from a good background and earns well, so she prefers luxury items over ordinary things.”

“T-that’s interesting. She likes luxury goods.”

Kim Cheon-woo paused for a moment, looked around, and let out a bitter laugh. This is a rest area. Far from the world of luxury.

“What about food? What kind of food does she like?”

“She eats pretty much anything, but even with food, she prefers the luxury options.”

“Thanks for letting me know.”

Kim Cheon-woo thanked me and left.

I hadn’t told any lies. It’s true that Seong Ha-ri likes luxury goods. Her belief is that expensive things are worth their price.

‘Even if you bring decent luxury items, Seong Ha-ri probably won’t even glance at them.’

But that’s none of my concern. After buying a drink at the convenience store, I went to find Seong Ha-ri. She was sitting on a bench talking to Lee Si-eun and Ryu Hana. From what I could gather, she was sharing her experience dealing with rare monsters. Ryu Hana was listening with great concentration.

“Mom.”

“Hmm? Yu-jin. What is it?”

“There’s something I want to talk about with you. Do you have a moment?”

“Of course. Si-eun, Hana. I’ll be back after talking with Yu-jin for a bit. If you have time, head to the car first. Got it?”

“Yes, Mother.”

“Understood… Ah, Aunt.”

Ryu Hana awkwardly said. Looking younger than her years, Seong Ha-ri was called “Aunt”…


It seems awkward for her to call me that way. Ironically, Na Ha likes being called “Ajumma” (Aunt).

Na Ha followed me with a bright smile.

“Jin-a. What’s the deal between you, Ha-na, and Da-yeon? The way those two look at you isn’t ordinary.”

“Look at me in an unusual way…? Mom must be seeing things.”

I can somewhat understand Choi Da-yeon’s interest in me, but Ryu Ha-na is different. Ryu Ha-na’s affection level doesn’t even reach 30.

“Nope. Mom has a gut feeling. I’m telling you, she’s into you. While I think Si-eun is the best choice… Ha-na and Da-yeon aren’t bad either. Actually, I don’t really know about Da-yeon, but Ha-na just struggles with expressing herself. She’s sincere though. In Da-yeon’s case, her mother-in-law might be annoying… But trust me, Mom will protect our son from anyone. So… Mom welcomes all three of them. Three daughters-in-law mean three families, it’ll be lively!”

“That’s going too far. And South Korea practices monogamy.”

“It’s fine. Mom will negotiate with the government. Look how much I’ve sacrificed for this country. They wouldn’t refuse such a small favor, would they?”

It’s not just idle talk… Na Ha’s influence is immense. It’s possible she could actually pull it off. I shook my head. It’s not a bad offer, but it’s too distant a future to consider now.

‘Harem with only three members? Is that enough?’

If I’m doing it, might as well do it right.

“…Hey, Jin-a. Are we heading somewhere weird?”

I was leading Na Ha to a secluded spot at the rest area. Beside the building, close to the mountain. The crowd disappeared, leaving only me and Na Ha heading toward the mountain. The trees will conceal us.

“Jin-a. You’re not thinking what I think you’re thinking, right? Don’t do this here.”

Ignoring her anxious words, I brought her further into the mountains.

“Mom. Why are you like this after coming so far?”

“Our relationship is inappropriate, you know that too. We’d have no excuse against people’s judgment.”

“But until recently, you never mentioned anything like this.”

I stepped closer to Na Ha. She took a step back uncomfortably. I kept advancing, she kept retreating until she hit a tree.

I didn’t take her reaction seriously. If she truly wanted to escape me, there’s no way I could catch her.

“Seeing Si-eun, Ha-na, and Da-yeon today made me realize… Maybe I’ve been restricting you too much…”

My hand moved. Undoing her belt, lifting her shirt, running my palm over her toned abs. Warm and smooth.

Her white panties peeked through the loosened jeans. I lifted her shirt higher, revealing her ample breasts wrapped in beige bra.

“Jin-a. It’s time to leave Mom’s arms, huh?”

“…”

I stopped my hands and looked at Na Ha. Her eyes remained steady, genuinely concerned for me.

“Really?”

“Huh?”

“Do you really want to stop here? Do you truly wish for me to leave your arms?”

Na Ha’s gaze wavered.

“I… for you…”

“I love Mom the most, but apparently, that’s not what you want. Understood. Yes, Mother. I shall follow your wishes.”

Lowering her raised shirt, I took a step back. Determination filled Na Ha’s eyes, now misty with tears. She grabbed my shoulder while sobbing.

“No, no! Jin-a! I was wrong to think that!”

“What thought, Mother? Please dress properly, Mother.”

“Jin-a!! Don’t call me Mother! Call me Mom! I was wrong! Forgive me… Please!”

Na Ha hugged my head tightly. Burying my face in her bosom, enjoying the familiar scent, I said,

“Mother wants me to become independent, right?”

“Independence?! Jin-a should live with Mom forever! Mom will do anything for you. Anything! Don’t say such cruel things…”

I rubbed my face against her chest. Breasts are truth. No matter how many times I bite and suck, they never get old.

“Will you really do anything?”

“Yes! Just ask Jin-a.”

“Suck my dick.”

“…What?”

“Mother used to do it every day before, didn’t she?”

“A-alright! I’ll do it! Stop calling me Mother!”

Na Ha gently pushed me away and squatted on the ground. She pulled down my pants. Supporting myself against the tree, I lowered my head. As she pulled down my underwear, our eyes met.

“Originally, I wanted to use Mom’s…”


I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that request.
