Chapter 21 – Lee Shin Ah (3)
“Hello.”
Lee Shin-ah, who greets you first.
Mr. Choi suggested a chair across from him with a kind smile.
“Yes. How have you been? Have a seat.”
– Nod.
Lee Shin-ah nodding her head like a arrogant Duke and taking a seat.
As her eyes looked down at her, Mr. Choi scanned her entire body and flicked her snake-like tongue.
But when she sat down and looked in front of her again, Mr. Choi said casually with her serious face as if she had never done that before.
“Then, let’s start with the main topic, shall we?”
“Yes. How is the test result?”
“It is dangerous at this rate.”
“Wee, is it dangerous?”
Lee Shin-ah’s expression shocked.
‘Mr. Choi’ said.
“Yes. As a result of analyzing the son based on his wife’s words for the past two weeks, the son was relationship-oriented and had high social self-esteem. His pride in his work was exceptional compared to his peers, and his family environment, friendships, and relationship with his girlfriend were also stable.”
Mr. Choi takes a moment to catch his breath.
Lee Shin-ah nodded her head, holding back the tears that were about to come up.
Said Mr. Choi.
“That’s why I’m going to take ‘that incident’ more seriously than anyone else. You may make an extreme choice…”
– Jump!
Suddenly, Lee Shin-ah stood up.
She shook her shoulders and wept.
“Oh no! My son… My son…!”
“Calm down for now. Cool down…”
Mr. Choi handed her a handkerchief and seated Lee Shin-ah.
And while Isan-ah shuddered, she poured water into her coffee pot and flicked her tongue with a mean smile.
‘Even that arrogant bitch can’t come to her senses when she talks about her son.’
Mr. Choi poured hot water into her paper cup and dipped her green tea bag.
Then she handed it to Shin-Ah Lee and opened her mouth.
“Mrs. In times like this, you need to be calm. Calm down and listen to the end.”
“Yes… I’m sorry…”
Her look as if she had lost her mind.
Said Mr. Choi.
“I thought of several options for my son’s treatment… First of all, it would be best to put him in a psychiatric hospital to prevent an extreme choice…”
Mr. Choi paused for a while, then she continued.
“…But it is only a temporary delay. On the contrary, it will be even worse for your son’s mental health. A person with high self-esteem, like your son, feels that the very act of sending him to a mental institution by someone dear to him is a betrayal.”
Isinah nodded her head.
She had good enough reasons.
“At this time, the important thing is the role of the people around you. Especially, the role of the wife is the most important.”
“Me, me?”
“Yes. I told you earlier that your son is relationship oriented. Because of this, the son is greatly influenced by his wife. Because the wife is the actual head of the household.”
Lee Shin-a nodded her head and touched her own hand.
As Mr. Choi said, she was the de facto head of her household.
Her personality is independent and enterprising, while her husband’s is cooperative and sacrificial.
“At this time, if you try to forcefully approach your son, he will reject you. They will hate the very act of trying to comfort them. But that doesn’t mean we can’t wait for it to recover on its own either.”
Lee Shin-a frowned and bit her lower lip.
As Mr. Choi said, she tried to approach her son, but all were rejected, and if left as it is, she might make an extreme choice.
If so, what the hell am I supposed to do?
Said Mr. Choi.
“So, you have to change, starting with your wife. Rather boldly.”
“…Yes? I… Change?”
“Yes. It may sound a bit absurd, but it is important that the wife change first.”
“Why?”
“The purpose of change is one. It’s to put your son’s attention on his wife.”
“…To make me… Interested?”
“Yes. Your son is now over-immersed in ‘the incident’. Even now, there must be constant self-abuse. So, getting your interests out there is the first step.”
“Yes… I see… What, how should I change? I still don’t get it…”
“The most effective way is to change your appearance.”
“Looks?”
“Yes. Let’s go to a fitness competition. I am participating for the purpose of winning the competition.”
“…Fitness competition… What’s next?”
“I am documenting the process one by one. It’s good to post it on Instagram, it’s good to post it on Facebook, it’s good to post it on YouTube. It’s about filming and uploading things that change day by day.”
“If I do that, what effect will it have on my son?”
Mr. Choi organizes his thoughts for a while at Lee Shin-ah’s question.
Then he opened his mouth.
“In order to break your son’s over-immersion in ‘that incident,’ you need that much stronger stimulation. It’s a big stimulus like my wife’s ‘participation in the competition’. When that overindulgence is broken, you can temporarily escape the self-loathing that has been eating away at you all day. After that, you can receive positive stimulation while watching your wife’s records change day by day. You can also feel vicarious satisfaction through comments or interest in supporting your wife. If your wife wins the competition and gets more attention, the desire to advance in society will start to sprout. Since my son is originally a person who is enterprising enough to enter the competition on his own, he will be able to reach the stage of social advancement very soon.”
Mr. Choi’s words brought hope to Lee Shin-ah’s eyes.
She nodded her head, feeling the passion seething in her chest.
If she changes herself, she says her son can change.
The resolve to live or die had already been solidified.
“Good good! So… Can I sign up for the gym now?”
“Yes. First of all, I will arrange a guide for you, so please join me today.”
Lee Shin-ah’s surprised expression.
She said.
“Um…Going to the gym… Together?”
“Yes. I want to be sure as the service fee is high. I will carefully check all of your management and make sure there are no problems, and I have a desire to create such good results. Do you understand?”
Shina Lee smiled and nodded her head.
She was a bit of an underworld person, so I felt a little uncomfortable, but seeing her clearly trying to get things done, I believed her.
“Then let’s go. We will carefully check everything from setting up a fitness center to future schedules.”
“Yes.”
Lee Shin-ah looked at the back of her trustworthy Mr. Choi and she followed him.
But ironically, the place he came from was a department store.
“Um… Why is this…?”
“I was thinking of getting some clothes tailored.”
“Oh… Clothes?”
“Yes. It is a necessary process to motivate.”
After saying that, Mr. Choi started to rummage through clothes in the women’s clothing section.
Soon after, he picked up one of her clothes and looked around, and she handed it to Shin-Ah Lee and said,
“I think it will suit you well. Try it on.”
“This, now?”
“Yes.”
His face was completely undetectable.
Lee Shin-a nodded her head at that perseverance and changed her clothes in her dressing room.
And when she came out, he smiled and clapped lightly.
“It seemed like a good fit. The clothes met the owner well.”
“That, is that so”
Shina Lee looked in the mirror with her face blushing.
As he said, this suit was a perfect fit for him.
Her eye for clothes wasn’t normal.
“Oh, customer! You look so good together. Her husband has a good eye~”
“Ah. I- my husband-“
“How much is it?”
Mr. Choi suddenly cuts off his words and takes out his wallet.
The employee smiled broadly and replied, “I’ll make it to 260,000 won~”, And he took out the card without hesitation.
“This is my gift.”
“Oh, I… I just-.”
“You have a lot more money to pay, so please take it. I still have something to live for.”
More left to live, more money to pay.
Lee Shin-ah tilted her head.
Eventually, Mr. Choi rummaged through his clothes once more, and he brought another one.
“This outfit is the wife’s goal. What to wear on the day the competition ends.”
“…”
Looking at the clothes, Lee Shin-ah’s expression was colored with astonishment.
Not only did it look very expensive at first glance, but the back was hollow and the chest was exposed too much, and the length was too short. It was very erotic.
“I… I… Will wear this later?”
“Yes. Your primary goal should be to wear this outfit.”
“No, the clothes are a bit… Too erotic, aren’t they?”
“Haha. My wife is also conservative. Think of it as an expression of her confidence and her pride in her body. If you wear this neatly and post it on social media, the reaction will be hot, and it will be a great help to draw your son’s attention.”
‘Still, I’m a married woman’ came up, but Lee Shin-ah swallowed it as it was.
She couldn’t do anything for her son.
“Then try it on.”
“Yes? I don’t think this will fit… Buy, lose some weight… Kuhmm… I have to wear it…”
“It is to experience it clearly. If that’s not possible, you can just wear your original clothes and come out.”
“Um…Then I’ll try it on once…”
Shina Lee entered her dressing room again.
I took off the clothes she was wearing and lifted the short dress.
