Apartment.
Room 403.
In Takayanagi Yuki's bedroom, it was so quiet that one could hear the sound of breathing.
"Mom, are you home?"
The voice from the living room again made Takayanagi Yuki, the owner of the bedroom, turn from red to pale, her eyes wide, and her rosy lips pressed into a white line.
Her brows were filled with panic.
"Thump~ thump~ thump~"
The footsteps outside the bedroom door grew closer, and Takayanagi Yuki's heart became more and more flustered.
She instinctively looked for help at the boy who had bravely stood in front of her earlier, protecting her.
"Jun, what... what should I do? What if Jo finds out? What then?"
An anxious Takayanagi Yuki grabbed Hoshino Jun's thigh, startling Hoshino Jun and making his mouth gape open.
Oh my god!
Looking at his wet pants, and then at the silly lady's anxious expression, Hoshino Jun's heart was filled with a faint sadness.
She didn't do it on purpose, not even triggering a collection task.
Sighing helplessly, Hoshino Jun could only try to calm Takayanagi Yuki first.
"Yuki, don't worry, I locked your bedroom door when I came in, so Jo-kun can't get in."
Continue climbing the mountains and great rivers.
Takayanagi Yuki's eyes shimmered with ripples, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing what she had just done.
Looking down, her eyes were filled with apology.
However, it just canceled out the bad things she had done with Jun.
"Compared to Jo-kun, I'd rather talk about the request I just mentioned."
Hoshino Jun retracted his hand and, in retaliation, wiped it on the beautiful woman's pretty face.
"Also, you forgot again, don't call me Jun."
"You know, I'm not small at all."
He just turned eighteen this year.
Takayanagi Yuki's face was as red as an evening glow, feeling both a little angry and a little ashamed.
After all, she was the one who made the first move, so she didn't have the heart to blame Hoshino Jun. She just raised her sleeve to wipe her face, then shyly asked:
"Jun-kun... what exactly is the request you're talking about?"
Seeing that the neighbor aunt, friend's mother, and beautiful widow had no intention of refusing, Hoshino Jun stood up, moved in front of Takayanagi Yuki, and then half-crouched.
"Click—!"
Just as Takayanagi Yuki was about to ask Hoshino Jun what he was doing, the doorknob suddenly made a sound as if someone was pressing it down.
"Mom, you're back already."
Because Hoshino Jun had put on the small lock, Takayanagi Cheng couldn't push the door open.
Remembering what had happened today, Takayanagi Cheng stood outside the door and said apologetically, "Today... I'm very sorry, Mom."
When he was outside earlier, Takayanagi Cheng had already decided that he must apologize to his mother and get her forgiveness.
Before, because he was too spoiled, he had overlooked that his mother, Takayanagi Yuki, was the person who loved him most in this world.
It won't happen again.
No matter how much he liked Kaoru, he should still put his mother first.
However, even after apologizing, he still hadn't received a response for a long time, and Takayanagi Cheng felt a little disheartened.
He remembered that before, as long as he softened his attitude, even without an apology, his mother would choose to forgive him.
It seemed that today, his mother was truly furious with him.
"Mom, you haven't answered me for so long. Are you very angry with me?"
"Mom, don't worry, I'll definitely behave better in the future and won't make you angry again."
"Just forgive me this one time, okay?"
On one side was his son's apology from outside the door, and on the other was Hoshino Jun's actions in front of her. Takayanagi Yuki looked left and right, her head buzzing.
For a moment, she didn't know whether to answer her son first or ask Hoshino Jun what he was doing.
Hoshino Jun, after crouching down, picked up Takayanagi Yuki's feet without asking, placing these slender, delicate feet on his knees.
Aunt Yuki, uncharacteristically, wasn't wearing stockings today; her fair skin and tender soles were completely exposed to the air, her toes crystal clear and lovely.
He stroked from her ankle up to her calf, leaving a damp trace of sweat on her supple skin, then wiped back down from her calf to her soft feet.
At this moment, Hoshino Jun was like a professional masseur at a club, diligently "oiling the feet" of his client.
The oil was provided by Takayanagi Yuki, the beautiful client herself.
"As expected of my Yuki, even her feet are so beautiful."
Perhaps it was her first time having her feet played with, Takayanagi Yuki's expression was particularly unnatural. She only felt a tingling and itching sensation in her legs, which was very comfortable but also very embarrassing.
"Jun-kun, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not your Yuki, I'm your Aunt Yuki."
No sooner had she spoken than Hoshino Jun suddenly pressed hard on Takayanagi Yuki's pink sole.
Takayanagi Yuki instantly trembled, letting out a mournful moan that was hard to distinguish between pleasure and pain.
The sound was not small, and Takayanagi Cheng outside the door also heard it.
His face instantly turned pale, and his bewildered, lost eyes showed an unspeakable sorrow.
'Is Mom crying?'
'Takayanagi Cheng, you really are a scoundrel to make Mom so sad.'
'You deserve to die!'
Before, Takayanagi Cheng thought his mother was a mountain, strong and unyielding, shielding him from wind and rain.
Today, Takayanagi Cheng realized that his mother was also a girl, and she would cry when she was sad.
However, when she was sad, she probably wouldn't cry in front of Takayanagi Cheng.
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
Takayanagi Cheng suddenly slapped himself twice across the face, and his once rather handsome face immediately became red and swollen.
He still felt it wasn't enough to vent his anger. With a thud, he knelt down in front of his mother's bedroom door, then gritted his teeth and softly cursed:
"Takayanagi Cheng, you idiot, you scoundrel!"
"A complete and utter pig."
After cursing himself, Takayanagi Cheng's tears had already escaped from his eyes, but he tried to remain calm, looking at the bedroom door with his usual tone.
"Mom, please believe me one more time, I will definitely change for the better."
Hoshino Jun's image flashed through his mind, and Takayanagi Cheng gritted his teeth, saying with great reluctance:
"I'll take Hoshino Jun as my role model. In the future, I'll also learn to cook, and make hot, delicious meals every day, waiting for Mom to come home."
At this moment, Takayanagi Yuki, who was in the bedroom, was almost overwhelmed. She was busy being touched by her son's change while also dealing with Hoshino Jun's mischief.
After Takayanagi Cheng's words of determination to change fell, Hoshino Jun abruptly pulled Takayanagi Yuki's ankles, completely taking control of her smooth, delicate "jade feet."
This made Takayanagi Yuki fall onto the bed completely unprepared.
Realizing what had happened, she hastily looked at Hoshino Jun, and seeing the mischievous smile on his face, Takayanagi Yuki fearfully questioned:
"Jun-kun, you can't bully Aunt Yuki."
