My First And Last Man - Chapter 568
“By the way, did you read my message?”
“Eh, what message?”
“… [Ken almost got speechless and replied to his dear brother] knowing you for sure you’re mainly focused is to unwrapped the big box and didn’t see a small envelope attached, am I right?”
“Yeah you are right Bro Ken but I don’t know where it is now”
“Just ask Bro Kei about that one since he most likely keeps it”
“Yeah right……” stop because he heard from the other side.
Knock, knock and knock
“Ken, is everything alright? Is something wrong with Ren?”
Both said at the same time “oh-oh, I guess Auntie Rei already suspicious now….. Geez…. Why Auntie Rei is such a smart one, huh?”
“Ken, let me in. Uncle Tae and Ellyn is with the twins so I’m alone now”
Ken without choice opens the door and he let his Auntie in then explains right away about Ren’s matters. Rei listening to her nephew very well and then she said to them. “Ken here, you still didn’t eat your dinner, and Ren, we will inform everyone about this, okay?”
“Okay”
“Good and by the way Ren, you know what, since the day Mei been staying in T Country, your Mom always message me if everything with you is alright, I even replied to her that you will be fine because you are with everyone but I never expect that your mother’s instinct is too strong, huh.”
“Eh, Mom is worried about me, Auntie Rei?”
“Of course she will be Ren after all you are her son and she also checks about Ken’s updates time by time that I found it annoying sometimes but well Mei is a mother of you and Ken so that’s normal for her, even Lyn also check about Ellyn’s matter but not every day and so, in other words, no mother can’t be at ease when their own kids are not with them even they are with their own relatives because they will only be at ease when their own kids are within their sight so it’s normal for your mother to worry about you.”
“So then Auntie, what I’m going to do?”
“I will inform everyone”
“Not tonight”
“Eh, why and what’s wrong with tonight?”
“Grandma already sleeping now, Auntie Lyn and Uncle El must be already with my baby cousins and same with Mom and Dad since they are taking care of my baby brothers, as for you Auntie it’s already late in there and you are pregnant so maybe you tell everyone during our Sunday’s family video call.”
“Okay, I will, and just promise to me that next time you will tell any of us what you feel and don’t keep it because no one will be got angry with you because we are family, okay?”
“Okay”
“Good and just go to sleep Ren, your brother still need to digest his food before sleeping so you sleep first”
“Yes Auntie Rei and thank you”
==== End of Video Call ====
“After you digest your foods well, you can sleep now”
“Yes, Auntie” then Rei leave but got stop since Ken is hugging her Auntie.
“Auntie Rei, is it my fault?”
“Silly no one and nobody at fault Ken. You are studying here and staying with me because that what you really want, as for Ren he decides to stay at C Country because that also what he really want it just that we the a.d.u.l.ts didn’t interrupt because that’s what the two of you really want and we know that you might be feeling lonely just what Ren feels now but we didn’t intervene instead we support your decisions, same with Ren, Ellyn, and Lynel, so how about you, did you feel alone or lonely when you are here?”
“No I didn’t feel lonely Auntie because you know, everyone here is with me, even my group of friends are always here every Saturday for our study group even we already on school breaks and on the other hand, Ren feels lonely because everyone in there is very busy. They can’t plan for a study group since the Meng’s have their own private tutor and same with Sis Yuka. Ren can’t even play with our cousins since Auntie Lyn always bringing the baby with her in the shop”. Since the day Mei returns back to T Country, Lyn is now the acting Manager of the shop so she’s now at the office and not in the kitchen area in the meantime.
Rei just listening to Ken and just said one thing to him “alright Ken and don’t trouble anything about it so let us think about how to resolve it, okay?”
“Okay”
“Don’t blame yourself and don’t call yourself a selfish one because you’re not, okay?”
“Okay”
“Do you want me to sleep with you for tonight?”
“No need Auntie Rei or else Uncle Tae will glare at me for the whole day and so spend your time with Uncle Tae very well after all he will be away with you for two years”
“Alright, alright, geez and you must sleep now; I guess you already digested it well huh”
“Yes, Auntie Rei” then Rei leave Ken’s room, and right away Ken didn’t worry anymore instead he goes to his slumber state after Rei close the door.
Meanwhile, after Rei entered their room, Tae asks her directly about Ken.
“Is there something wrong with Ken?”
“Not Ken but Ren”
“Eh, and what’s wrong with Ren?”
“He feels lonely” then Rei seating on their bed followed by Tae and she explains what happens to Ren.
“So what are you going to do Hon?”
“I will tell everyone and we will talk tomorrow, by the way, what time we are leaving tomorrow?”
“Around 8 am”
“I see and it’s for the whole day then?”
“Nope and only morning”
“Okay” then Rei messages her family members about Ren’s loneliness along with the video attachment that she retrieves when the two boys are video calling with each other using their emergency code with a green light indicating not so emergency but need to resolve before it gets worst.
[Rur duuil imruiarull rmjftfwl frt luu ovu foofhvut satum dmz qmzu ardmzqfoamr.
We will talk tomorrow at exactly 6 am, time in S Country since I and Tae will be leaving the house around 8 am.]
At the same time, Tae received the message since he already part of this emergency code message from Din’s Family Members except for Aya since the siblings won’t let their mother worried about their family affairs but it doesn’t mean that Aya won’t be kept hidden since the siblings will inform their mother dearly and they will resolve it on their own leaving their mother as an observer yet open for giving advice after all Aya is more experience compared to them. Tae reading the message sent by his wife silently and after reading he looks at his wife.
“What’s wrong with you Dear?”
“Nothing’s wrong Hon, it just that you are really my Rei”
“Huh?”
“Never mind that one and let’s go to sleep now, oh right please set our phone not to receive any calls because knowing Mei for sure she will bombarding us with a lot of questions”
“Ha, ha, ha you really know my sister’s antics now and I already did”
“… I see”
“Let’s sleep now Tae and by the way, where are we going tomorrow?”
“It’s a secret for now”
Rei pouting and replied “okay just for tonight since I will know it tomorrow anyway”
“Geez, you’re so cute Hon” and then kiss her lips right away “I will not eat you tonight since you’ve been busy today”
“Eh, I see and what a surprise that I heard it that one from you Tae, am I right?”
Tae just pinch the space between his eyebrows and calmly said to his teasing wife “don’t tease my patience Hon and I just want you to rest tonight, so just sleep, okay?”
Rei replied while brushing her fingers under the shirt of Tae and said seductively “but I want you to eat me, is that wrong for me to ask?”
“Geez, what a naughty wife you are and why would I reject my wife advances, huh?” Then Tae’s go-to action right away.
