Chapter 169: Chapter 169: A gift

Once he was sure she was comfortable, he stepped out and thought about how to keep track of her.I should get accessories for Mom so I can track her. There's no way Silla and Nymira would be with her all the time, he thought.

He settled on the couch and opened his inventory, scanning through the items he had obtained in the Abyss. As he looked at the various trinkets, he felt a twinge of worry about whether his mom's body could handle them.

"But Master, Lady Seoyang is strong. You should not worry about that," Silla chimed in, reassuring him. Huno barked in agreement.

"As Silla showed, there's no doubt that Lady Seoyang is more than an ordinary human, Master."

Seojun stared at a necklace in his hands and clenched it tightly, realizing he now knew what to do. He shook off his worries and stood up, deciding to cook something special for dinner. He opened the refrigerator, considering what to make. As he donned an apron, he heard a knock at the door.

As he opened it, Alexa rushed in. "You! You were there, right?!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement.

Seojun just smiled, trying to play it cool and went back in the kitchen but Alexa slapped him lightly on the shoulder.

"You want to live peacefully, but why are you acting like this? Do you know how much money we spent to keep those survivors that recognized you quiet?"

"Thanks, Alexa," Seojun replied, grateful for their support. Alexa couldn't help but turn around and plop down on the couch, crossing her arms.

"I-It's not like we don't want to help, but we're doing everything so no one can interfere with your peaceful life! You're so lucky you have us,"

Alex walked in right after, hanging up the phone. "Be careful next time, Seojun. Dae-won almost caught you. If he sees you, we can't cover you up in public anymore," he warned, his expression serious.

Seojun nodded, turning his focus back to cooking as he chopped ingredients for a Korean dish. He decided to make kimchi fried rice, a comforting and hearty meal. The spicy aroma filled the air as he stirred the rice in the pan.

"I know I can count on both of you. Why don't you sit down while I cook? You should both eat with us today,"

"Hmp! You owe us, so you should really serve us food!" Alexa said, trying to sound demanding. Alex chuckled and gave Seojun a friendly pat on the shoulder.

"Anyway, Uncle Shaun called. He couldn't contact you or Auntie Seoyang. It's only been few days since he went back to U.S, and he already wants to live here. He said he'll visit again soon with his family," Alex added, sitting down at the table.

Seojun smiled at the thought. Family was important, and he was glad to know that his uncle wanted to stay connected. As he finished cooking, he felt a sense of warmth and comfort from having his friends around and later that evening they ate together now with his Mom having fun.

Next Morning...Seojun woke up, feeling something warm and soft against his neck. He blinked and turned his head slightly to see Alexa sleeping peacefully beside him Her gentle breaths tickled his skin.

As he shifted a little, a flash of light caught his eye, and he saw Alex sitting on the sofa, a playful grin on his face.

"I'll show this to Alexa, Just wait until she sees this! She'll love it. Or hate it. Either way, it'll be fun!" he said, pulling out his phone to take a picture of the scene.

Seojun carefully tried to remove Alexa, who was clinging to him like a gecko. He remembered how last night had gone: they had all decided to drink together.

Seoyang had gone to sleep early, leaving Seojun, Alex, and Alexa to have fun. At first, Seojun had nearly gotten drunk, but then he acquired resistance once again making him unable to get drunk.

With a gentle push, he finally managed to slip away from Alexa without waking her. He stood up and stretched, feeling a bit sore but good overall. The morning light streamed in through the windows, casting a warm glow over the room. He decided to make breakfast, wanting to do something nice for everyone after their fun night.

As he moved to the kitchen, He began to prepare a simple breakfast of eggs and toast, the comforting smell soon filling the air. It was just a peaceful morning

After finishing up breakfast, Seojun went to wake his mom. "Mom, time to get up! Breakfast is ready!"

Seoyang slowly opened her eyes, smiling at the smell of food wafting through the house. "That smells good, Seojun" she said, stretching as she sat up.

They enjoyed a warm breakfast together, chatting and laughing.

"Look at this Auntie!" Alex grinned, turning the phone toward Seoyang.

Seoyang looked at the photo and gasped, then tease alexa. "Omo, look at how cute they are, You didn't tell me you have crush in my Seojun Alexa"

When Alexa saw the picture, her face turned bright red. "A-Auntie I'm not! Alex No! Give me that!" She lunged at Alex, trying to snatch the phone away.

Alex held it above his head, teasing her. "What's wrong, Alexa? You look adorable!"

"Not helping, Alex!" she shouted, her face still flushed.

Suddenly, Huno barked excitedly, and Nymira jumped onto the table, meowing loudly. The peaceful breakfast turned into a noisy morning, with Huno and Nymira causing a ruckus as they played around.

After some laughter and chaos, the twins decided it was time to go. "We have things to do, Seojun," Alexa said, smoothing down her hair, still a bit flustered. "But we'll see you later!"

"Bye! Take care!" Seojun replied, waving as they left.

Once they were gone, Seojun turned to his mom. "I'm going to buy some groceries to fill up our fridge," he said. "While I'm gone, you should invite your friend over Mom."

"Are you sure, Seojun? I can handle the grocery shopping," Seoyang replied, a hint of concern in her voice.

"I'm fine, Mom," he smiled reassuringly. "You focus on your friend, and I'll handle the rest."

Seoyang nodded, knowing he was determined. After Seojun left the house, she took her phone and dialed a number.

[Hello?] a deep voice answered on the other end.

"John, it's Seoyang," she said. "I was wondering if you'd like to come over."

There was a pause, and John replied, [Are you sure about this, Seoyang?]

"Don't worry! I'll just introduce you as a friend for now, not as my boyfriend," she assured him. "I still haven't told Seojun everything yet. I'm waiting for the perfect timing."

[Okay, Seoyang, I'll be there then.]

Seoyang smiled, Meanwhile, Seojun walked into a jewelry shop after grocery, his mind focused on finding something special for his mom. He browsed through the displays, looking for the perfect accessory that would show her how much he cared.
