Chapter 16 – Mom, It’s Me ①
^-^
When I looked at the screen of my phone, the name ‘Mom’ was displayed.
“Uh. Is it your mother?”
Normally, we often exchanged phone calls, but unlike the phone calls I always made first, my mom called first for some reason today.
Since she is nobody else’s mother, she didn’t think much of it and naturally tried to answer the phone call right away.
“Wait, Seohyun-ah…!”
Seol-ah, who saw that, stopped me from urgently answering the phone.
“Hello?”
The phone call with my mother had already been disconnected.
– Hello?
“Yes, Mom. Why?”
– ···Huh? Did I dial the wrong number?
“Mom, what are you talking about… Ah?!”
After a few conversations, I realized that I shouldn’t have answered my mother’s phone call.
However, the phone call is already ongoing.
It was a situation where I had to hang up the phone as soon as possible or come up with an excuse somehow.
– It’s strange, Seohyun’s number is correct…
“That… You dialed the wrong number…”
I chose the option of making an excuse out of the two.
– Are you Seoyeon? I don’t think so…?
“Isn’t it too harsh to call me Lee Seo-yeon!?
My mom suddenly called me Lee Seo-yeon, so I was so moved that irritating words came out without my knowledge.
– This reaction… Is it Seohyun?
“Hup.”
Thinking it was a big deal, I hurriedly tried to block her mouth.
– If it’s you, you say you, why do you use a female voice?
“Oh no, not that.”
She also said that she recognizes her own children well, is that true?
It seemed that my mother was already convinced that I was her son, Lee Seo-hyun, through my reaction.
“That mother? I’m busy right now and I have to go? So later!!”
– What are you busy doing…
Pop.
I felt like I heard something at the end, but somehow I managed to hang up on the excuse that I was busy.
“Come to think of it, I never told my family after it happened like this…”
Even though she became a woman and was the first to be caught by Seol-ah, coveting each other’s bodies and even making love, she still hadn’t revealed to her family that she had become a woman.
No, even if I were to tell the truth, she would suddenly respond to my words that she was a woman, ‘Oh yeah? There was no way she could blindly believe that she had become a woman?
“What do we do···.”
She didn’t want to look like this and show her family.
Especially for Lee Seo-yeon.
Who Lee Seo-yeon was, she was my mother’s daughter and also her father’s daughter, my younger sister.
If I suddenly appeared like this, I might react awkwardly with my changed appearance, and above all, Lee Seo-yeon’s reaction was the most unexpected.
If she was that guy, she might be able to touch her breasts all of a sudden…
“I wonder if my sister will be okay.”
On the other hand, he had a bad-tempered younger sister named Lee Seo-yeon, but he also had a nice and kind older sister named Lee Seo-yeong.
She was a kind older sister who treated her kindly from a young age, so she was a good older sister.
Of course, she didn’t get along very well with Lee Seo-yeon, who always had accidents.
Anyway, she returned to the main topic and began to think about how to inform her family about her current appearance.
“You just ran into it? Or you had surgery… It makes no sense…”
I was thinking about it for a while while wrapping her hair.
“Just come with me.”
“Ok···?”
Seol-ah, who was watching me like that, came up with an answer.
She did come up with an answer, but…
“Go, together… Where?”
“Wherever it is, of course it’s your mother.
“Yes?”
Let’s just go together, is this the right answer?
“What’s wrong? I’m your girlfriend too.”
“If you say that, it won’t look strange… But maybe it’ll be all right?”
If I had to tell her family that I had become a woman anyway, she didn’t really care if I said Seol-Ah was my girlfriend.
It was because she was my girlfriend when she was a man, but it was clear that her family would not feel anything strange about this and would agree and move on.
“But maybe you’ll call again?”
“Huh?”
I said that I would call again soon, and Seol-ah tilted her head, asking what that meant.
Step by step, I explained why.
“Originally, my mother doesn’t usually call me first.”
“Yeah, what about it?”
“If she said she walked first, it must be for some reason.”
“Ah. Is that so?”
In fact, she even called first to come home once this holiday.
Around the time I was explaining things to Seol-ah.
Gying-
Unsurprisingly, the phone calls to her mother started coming back, exactly as I said.
As a mother who lived with her for 20 years, I was able to know her mother better than anyone else.
Except for Dad, of course.
‘But why did you call again from here?’
I remember that I said ‘I’m busy’ earlier and she hung up.
However, there was one contradiction in this.
It was that I was a common ‘unemployed’ seen right around me.
Of course, because of the hiatus caused by taking a leave of absence from the university he was attending, he was given the modifier unemployed…
The name of the university I was attending was such a university that I was able to tell the name in Seoul.
Seol-ah was also attending here, and in fact, Seol-ah and I met for the first time in college.
Anyway, my mother, who knows that I am an unemployed person who only stays at home, must have felt something strange when I said that I was busy.
Gying-
So I guess that’s why I called again.
I closed my eyes and pressed the call button as if I couldn’t help the phone that was still ringing.
– What if he hangs up like that?
“······”
– ···Hello? Can’t you hear me?
“No… I can hear you very well.”
– Then answer me… No, are you still using a female voice? He became unemployed and still couldn’t come to his senses.
When she woke up, she suddenly stuck a fact in her stomach saying that she was sad that she had become a woman, but that her mother was doing something strange.
– Anyway, this Saturday is your grandfather’s birthday, so come on time. Or are you coming home now
“No, wait…”
Pop.
“No… Uh, Mom…?”
Oh my god···.
Lee Seo-yeon said all she wanted to say, but she often hung up. I wondered if it was just my family’s tradition to just say something and hang up the phone.
“Come to think of it, it’s already my grandfather’s birthday.”
This upcoming weekend was an important day for my dad’s dad, my biological grandfather’s birthday.
It was clear that my mother had called me first because of that.
“Wait a minute…? Doesn’t it mean that not only my family but also all of my relatives get together on my grandfather’s birthday?”
Uh… This is a really big deal.
It must be very difficult to let my family know that I have become a woman.
Suddenly, skipping the family, I suddenly appeared in a place where relatives were gathering and said, ‘I’ve become a woman!’ It seemed that his relatives would say, “What kind of crazy man are you?”
“Haa…, If it’s a situation where I have to meet my mother unconditionally…”
In this situation where I couldn’t miss my grandfather’s birthday, I had to inform my mother that I had become a woman unconditionally.
If it’s going to be known to my family and even my relatives anyway, it’s better to hit the hawk first, and it would be better to tell my mom about this so that she butts her head on what to do.
“I can’t do it. I have to stand.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll stop going. I’ll call you later!”
“Huh? Now, wait…?”
After telling Seol-ah in an urgent tone that I had to go, I rushed to catch a taxi nearby and returned to my room.
A self-made room that still smells like white water.
I was looking for evidence that made me believe that I, who had become a woman, was ‘Lee Seo-hyun, my mother’s son’.
“Sseu-but, I think we can find out if we just go and talk to each other…”
My thoughts are this.
Rather than looking for evidence here in my own room, it seemed to be much quicker to just go and bump into my mother and let me know.
“Yes, that would be better.”
Still, before revealing myself through such a conversation, it was necessary to take the trouble to let people know that I was right one more time.
Squeak.
Right away, it was to change into the loose clothes I used to wear.
It’s not because I don’t like the clothes Seol-A bought me, it’s not that I suddenly show up to my mom and say ‘I’m your son,’ and show up wearing the brand-name clothes Seol-A bought me.
Would she believe that I, wearing her luxury goods, was her son?
So now I was going to change back into the clothes I used to wear.
However···.
“Why is this so big…?”
After wearing it, it was a bit large for my body as a man, so it became a complete overfit when I wore it after becoming a woman.
