Nothing, Eomma! We just... talked. A lot. About... life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon coughed into his fist, trying and failing to hide his grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyejin looked between them and shook her head with a faint smile as she continued eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dhayun kicked him lightly under the table and leaned forward to whisper, \"I’m not skinny, and if I eat a lot, I would get fat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuckling under his breath, he whispered back \"It’s a good thing; if you get fat, I get more space to grab on your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, she blushed and lowered her head before elbowing him gently \"Bastard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyejin noticed their interaction, and her gaze softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ate slowly as conversation flowed easily between mouthfuls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyejin asked about the academy and classes and about how Dhayun was doing with her training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dhayun answered enthusiastically while occasionally sneaking food from Brandon’s plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon listened mostly and added quiet comments when asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon and Dhayun slipped away from the dining room after the meal, leaving Hyejin humming happily in the kitchen as she started on the dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dhayun pulled him gently by the hand, leading him up the narrow wooden staircase to the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pushed open the door to her bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked almost exactly the same as he remembered, with pale lavender walls, a single bed with a white quilt and too many throw pillows, a small desk still covered with old notebooks and stickers; and posters of K-pop groups and fantasy art taped to the wardrobe doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dhayun closed the door behind them with a soft click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon walked over and sat on the edge of the bed and looked around slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dhayun knelt beside her old bookshelf, pulled out a thick, slightly faded photo album with a floral cover, and carried it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat beside him and opened it on her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look,\" she said softly. \"Eomma kept everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first page was them as children, maybe seven or eight years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dhayun, in a bright yellow dress, grinning widely with missing front teeth, arms thrown around Brandon, who was half-hiding his face behind her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another photo showed them at the park with Dhayun dragging him toward the swings and him looking mildly terrified, but following anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon’s gaze softened as he looked at the photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly turned his head to look at her and saw the genuine joy in her eyes as she flipped through the pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently, he leaned in and kissed her cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eh? Dhayun froze, and she touched her cheek where his lips had been, her fingers trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why... sudden kiss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon let out a soft sigh and reached over to tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just remembered the old days,\" he muttered quietly. \"All those years, we were just kids running around together. I never thought... we’d end up together like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dhayun’s eyes trembled, shimmering with sudden moisture and she quickly glanced away, pretending to look at one of the middle-school photos still visible on the page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t say emotional stuff like that out of nowhere, idiot.\" she mumbled, but her voice cracked just a little at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the photo, her fingers tracing the edge of the plastic sleeve absentmindedly \"I also never expected this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a deep sigh, she rested her head on his shoulder and he hugged her closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She muttered against his chest, words half-muffled, \"Staying with you and the other sisters in the same house... I’m very happy. I wish we could stay like this forever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon’s gaze lowered and he looked at his image in the album \"...Forever huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*knock* At this time, they heard a knock on the door \"Yun-ah, Taewon-ah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hyejin’s voice, Dhayun raised her head \"Eomma, come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyejin opened the door and stepped inside carrying a small tray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On it there were two delicate glass bowls of patbingsu with shaved ice piled high with red bean topping and fresh fruit slices, sweetened condensed milk drizzled over the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I brought dessert,\" she said with a gentle smile as she took in the sight of them sitting close on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She set the tray on the low desk beside the bed and straightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, I will leave you two alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she turned and left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dhayun excitedly got down from the bed \"Woonie, come on; let’s eat the dessert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon walked downstairs and pushed open the swinging door to the kitchen before stepping inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyejin stood at the sink with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows, scrubbing a large pot under running water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overhead light cast a soft golden glow over the small room, and she had a dish towel draped over her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t look up at first because her focus was on a stubborn spot on the pot but when Brandon spoke, her movements slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ajumma, need my help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyejin turned her head and a tired but fond smile curved her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it’s okay,\" she said automatically, shaking her head. \"You’re a guest. Go rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon stepped closer anyway, rolling up his own sleeves without asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I insist,\" he said quietly. \"Let me help. Please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a soft sigh but handed him a clean dish towel anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon took it with a small smile and moved to stand beside her at the sink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the first washed plate and carefully dried it in slow, thorough circles, then set it neatly in the drying rack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They worked in comfortable silence for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes Hyejin spoke again \"I heard a lot about what happened...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon’s hands paused for a second and resumed drying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued, rinsing another bowl under the tap \"About your awakening. The Church. And many other things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned off the faucet, shook water from her hands, and reached for the towel over her shoulder, drying her fingers slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know it would be quite dangerous to be with a person such as the first male awakener... But I know you will protect her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon set the plate down carefully and nodded his head \"I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyejin nodded and leaned her hip against the counter, \"That girl...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a weary sigh \"I told her many times when she awakened... just destroy her core and be a normal human,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze drifted to the window \"But she refused and was very stubborn about being an awakener.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... she is very happy right now. So as long as she is happy with her life, I will also be happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her, his gaze softened \"I will also do my best to keep her happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft giggle, she patted his shoulder \"I know you will. You are the best man I could ever find for my Yun-ah. So I have no complaints on that part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon just smiled upon hearing this and continued cleaning the dishes \"I will try to live up to your expectations, mother-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1406,"2026-05-30T03:52:04.457Z","2026-06-01T04:30:14.553Z",1,"novelbin.me","d0fbfe6bfe1c4a61107a26760d373245f74b9a6eec7fec10dc7ac55470e2a7ee","getting-spoiled-in-a-woman-dominating-world-chapter-454","getting-spoiled-in-a-woman-dominating-world-chapter-452",523,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgetting-spoiled-in-a-woman-dominating-world-cover.jpg"]
