Perfect Puppy - Perfect Puppy Episode 9

#9

That night, the intensity of our embrace was particularly strong. Jae-ha, who was out of breath in the middle of the night, suddenly woke up.

Even while sleeping, his expression was solemn. It looked like he was holding onto someone who would have run away at night if he had loosened up even a little.

No, what does it have to do with me staying out? . It was absurd, but his behavior was like that of a puppy that whines and fusses every time its owner goes out. Jaeha’s one-dimensional behavior was absurd but also a bit cute, so he smiled and changed his posture.

When I opened my arms to clear space, Haehyun clung to my chest next to me, rubbing her head as if waiting for me. It was a bit too much for Jae-ha, who only gave her arm pillows to her girlfriends, but she was breathing much easier than before.

After listening to Haehyeon’s breathing for a while, I suddenly felt drowsy again and closed my eyes. I was slowly getting used to the warm body temperature next to her.

*

Jiyiing. Jiyiing.

As I was walking down the school hallway, a vibration suddenly rang. How do I know that class is over and I don’t know how to call at this exact time? Jaeha looked at the screen curiously for a moment and then answered the phone.

“why?”

In response to the harsh greeting, a sharp voice suddenly poured over the receiver.

– Why? Can’t you just call your son?

“It’s because you just didn’t call in the first place.”

Jaeha responded playfully. It wasn’t a complete joke; Jae-ha’s mother, Mrs. Kim Mu-yeon, was a person with strong personal tendencies. As the head of a small business, her daily life was so busy that she could not devote much time to her children.

Since Jae-ha started living alone when she was 20, the number of times she visited her children’s bedrooms was only a handful, and the calls to say hello were even fewer. All she did was visit Jaeha’s parents’ house once in a while during her holidays.

However, it did not mean that the relationship between mother and son was bad. She gave her son plenty of support, and she was more than capable of doing so. Her mindset was that she was going to pass it on anyway, so why not save it now? Thanks to this, she was able to enjoy a free life earlier than others. It is somewhat ironic that this abundance accelerated the boredom of Jae-ha, who was already indifferent, and led him to seek stimulation from her. —

Rather, the home atmosphere was a little warmer than that of an ordinary family. This may be partly due to the two people’s easy-going personalities, and Jae-ha’s younger sister likes to talk to her family even though she pretends not to, so they can check up on each other’s current status without having to talk directly.

– rice is?

“Now let’s go to the classroom and eat.”

– okay. It’s best to buy it and eat it.

Muyeon was bad at cooking. I didn’t do it because I didn’t have the talent, and because I didn’t do it, I didn’t have the knowledge. Because of that situation, Jaeha never received a single side dish from his mother like other families. There was also a reason why Jaeha’s refrigerator was empty.

Well, now I have a refrigerator that smells like home, thanks to a puppy that has been busy sucking and filling it up.

“So what’s going on?”

– No, well… . Nothing much going on with you these days, right?

It was a question that would only be asked by someone with a lot of luck. Jaeha accepted the comment without much notice.

“Just go to school. “What’s the big deal?”

No matter what, I couldn’t tell my mom that I felt like I was under an unknown curse. The story goes that because of that, she lives with a man who turns into a dog.

– okay? Well then, I’m glad. … Do you still go to clubs these days?

Muyeon’s voice quickly became stern. Jaeha immediately solemnly and faithfully denied it.

“no. “These days, I just go to school.”

When Jae-ha was bored with his life and was taking a leave of absence from school to seek stimulation, a girl who secretly liked Jae-ha while he was hanging out at a club stole his cell phone and pretended to be his girlfriend for about a month.

She even called Mu-yeon and talked about Jae-ha, building a friendship with him. However, during a conversation with her, Mu-yeon, who sensed her discomfort, barged into her Jae-ha’s room, grabbed her, and questioned her, dramatically revealing the truth about her. She said the incident taught her a lesson: keep your phone screen secure.

In addition, Mu-yeon, who indirectly experienced all kinds of shocking events just because she was a mother, was annoyed by her son’s laxity, recklessness, and optimism, and immediately slapped Jae-ha on the back and yelled at him to go to school and graduate, and like that, Seo Jae-ha’s life at Bupyeong Elementary School ended. The curtain came to an end.

“Why on earth are you doing that?”

– Last night I had a dream about your grandmother.

“What kind of grandmother?”

Jaeha’s maternal grandmother passed away. It happened so long ago that Jaeha can’t even remember it properly.

What does this have to do with my grandmother and me? She asked curiously, and Muyeon hesitated. It seemed like she knew that that didn’t make sense.

-Your maternal grandmother… She said something was very attached to you… .

“… “Uh-huh.”

– My son originally said he was very popular, but then he got hit.

“… … .”

This is truly a statement of hers. She secretly applauds her mother for still having a bit of innocence in her even as Jae-ha gets older.

– But when I woke up, I felt a little strange. You’re really fine, right? Have you met anyone strange? A pervert, a stalker, etc.

“Don’t worry, there isn’t any.”

Actually, there was a guy recently that I suspected was a perverted stalker, but that guy was a real anion. Other than that, it was the same as usual, nothing special.

However, the ghost of my grandmother, whose face I can’t even remember, suddenly appears and warns me, so I guess that curse is strong. Moreover, the content was roughly correct.

Still, since Haehyun was there, I wondered if anything would happen. In fact, after he came to live with Jae-ha, the strange phenomenon disappeared, and he even demonstrated some kind of supernatural power to reassure Jae-ha.

“I guess my grandmother missed my mother for the first time in a long time.”

– is it? Still, I felt a bit refreshed after dreaming about her grandmother. She is also my mother.

What are you talking about? Come to think of it, whenever Mu-yeon was having a hard time, she often called out to her maternal grandmother. Could it be that her maternal grandmother was also an anion? Jaeha swallowed his nonsensical thoughts and ended the call appropriately.

“okay. “Don’t just rely on your dreams, do some exercise.”

– Even now, my grandmother nags me in my dreams. Please eat well. Still, her mother said that she eats well and walks hard these days.

Jae-ha wondered when Mu-yeon would realize that walking a few laps around the living room floor was not a walk, but as his son, he decided not to crush her illusions to her face.

“I’m going to Chuseok.”

– okay.

After I hung up the phone, the room was right in front of me. When I opened the closed door, a loud welcome poured out from inside.

“Oh, brother! Welcome.”

“welcome.”

“Jae-ha, do you want to eat? “Let’s do it now.”

The timing is amazing. Jaeha asked with a grin.

“What is the menu?”

Today’s lunch delivery was from a Chinese restaurant. As soon as he came in and ordered and sat down at the table, Lee Cheong-hee, one of Jae-ha’s seniors still in school, started to complain.

“Jaeha, why are your replies so slow these days?”

She, with her generous personality, was one of the people who particularly liked Jae-ha from the time he entered school. The only reason why Jae-ha and Jae-ha were able to become close friends with her blatant display of her face and calling out for drinks at night was because she never flirted with Jae-ha other than simple compliments on his face.

Her interest in Jae-ha was nothing more than a vague fondness for a handsome man, and even after seeing him for several years, it never developed into romantic feelings. Cheonghee liked alcohol much, much more than men.

“Did I do that?”

“okay! “Even if you ask me to have a drink, I wait until a few hours later to check.”

“Wow, study. “Did you hit on Cheonghee?”

“That’s why this handsome guy… “The bridge of his nose reaches the sky.”

A roar of laughter erupted from the table that was full of people. She was ready to catch Geonsu and make fun of him.

“But Jaeha, you seem to be a little slower than usual. “I asked where it was in the morning and the answer came in the afternoon?”

“that’s right. “It was a bit jagged before, but not to this extent.”

However, the atmosphere became a bit solemn as others began to truly agree. Kim Min-ho, the classmate who had taken the lead in teasing Jae-ha, asked as if it were absurd.

“Are you all hanging out in the study?”

“Hey, if you find out, don’t you think that all the girls in our department have sex with Seojae?”

Of course it wasn’t like that.

“No, Jaeha and I do it too.”

“Me too sometimes. “Do you feel like you’re not looking at your phone these days?”

Minho, who realized that men were similar, blinked a couple of times and slowly turned his head to look at Jaeha.

“… “Can I do it too?”

“Ah, brother. “What is it~!”

“Minho oppa, aren’t you talking to Jaeha oppa?”
