Jinwoo whips out his smartphone and snaps a photo of a red dog collar hanging on the display.

Jinwoo is meticulously adjusting angles and distances as he takes the photos.
Next to him, Sohee, who was browsing the store with him, asks with a puzzled look, "Why are you taking pictures of that?"
"Just in case... you never know."
Jinwoo wonders how it would feel to actually put the dog collars he chose on everyone in the family, and responds to his sister.
While Minji is still unable to take her eyes off the puppies in the display near the entrance, their mom stands nearby, watching Minji and thinking she's cute.
Thus, Jinwoo's family spends some time browsing the pet store before heading to the food court in the basement of the department store.
Food Court * *
They enter Minji's favorite restaurant.
It's a place known for its various donburi dishes, flavored with a special sauce.
They decide to share different types of donburi: Chicken Teriyaki, Spicy Pork Slices, Beef Offal, and Soy Sauce Shrimp Donburi, creating a real 'donburi of donburis'.
For drinks, they order cola, cider, and a beer for mom.
"Mixing good stuff seems to always end up tasting great!"
Minji continues to ramble about puppies before the food arrives.
Minji loves puppies, but due to mom's strong opposition, she hasn't even broached the subject of getting one.
Now, with Aunt Haeju looking for adopters, Minji is dropping hints to mom to spark her interest.
* * *
Minji keeps chatting happily until the food arrives.
Sua was struggling to walk the big dogs, but she's getting better, and it seems like there's no need to worry anymore when the ordered dishes finally arrive.
While eating, mom starts talking about her work starting Monday and the upcoming birthday of dad, and eventually, the conversation turns to Yejin, their older sister.
"Aunt Haeju suggested taking a family trip for dad's birthday. It's been a while since we've gone anywhere after what happened to dad."
Mom starts recalling the conversation she had with Aunt Haeju at lunch.
"I think I need to tell Yejin about it too, but she'll probably refuse if I just call her. Maybe, Jinwoo, you could meet her and talk this time? It's been a while since you've seen her face-to-face."
Mom looks somewhat sad as she says this, gulping down her beer.
Yejin, after graduating high school, moved to a studio near her college.
She hasn't been home since.
Jinwoo keeps in touch with Yejin through calls, asking how she's doing, but it's been about 2-3 months since they last saw each other face-to-face.
Yejin, who's always been beautiful and sharp, just like their mom, managed to get into a prestigious university, but three weeks into the semester, she took a leave of absence to start working.
She's working as a bartender, which involves a lot of talking with customers, and it seems she's making a good amount from tips.
She rarely contacts mom, mostly keeping in touch through Jinwoo or other family members.
Jinwoo isn't quite sure what happened.
Neither mom nor Yejin have explained properly.
It seems like there was some issue between mom and Yejin, but the family only has a vague sense of it.
"Yeah, got it, mom! I should probably see her too, but it seems like Yejin is too busy. Gotta force myself to visit her soon!"
Mom, worried about Yejin, replies in a gentle tone, while making awkward eye contact with Jinwoo. Whenever their eyes meet, it's as if she flinches slightly.
-Mom's getting a bit tipsy-
Their dinner conversation wraps up as they mix up all kinds of topics, like adding layers to a donburi.

Happy with their meal, they head home on the subway.
The train is unusually crowded for a Saturday evening.
With each stop, more passengers flood in.
As the crowd filled in, the train seemed to transform into a more secretive space than usual.
Minji was clinging tightly to her mom's hand, standing right next to her, while Sohee was a few steps away, engrossed in her smartphone.
Jinwoo stood a bit behind his mom, admiring her from the back without Sohee or Minji noticing. As more people pushed in, the space between him and his mom kept getting narrower.
Eventually, his mom's back was perilously close to Jinwoo's chest, and naturally, her ass also ended up brushing against the front of him.
Jinwoo's cock began to rise, but he didn't pull back his waist intentionally.
It's not like he was blatantly pushing into her ass either.
Just letting the sway of the train guide his arousal, touching her each time, sending thrilling shivers through his body.
And it seemed mom was oddly cooperative too.
Despite easily finding space to move away, she seemed to conform to the crowd's flow, positioning her ass right in front of Jinwoo.
As the train rocked, Jinwoo's erection rubbed against her, swelling further with each motion.
Then the train stops again and more passengers swarm in, pushing her directly against Jinwoo's now fully alert cock.
The immense pleasure and thrill spread throughout his body.
Jinwoo places his hands on her waist, pulling her closer so that her ass and his erect cock press firmly together.
Such boldness wasn't typical of Jinwoo before, but now he was fully engrossed.
For a while, Jinwoo and his mom stood there as the train continued to sway, his substantial cock grinding side to side against her.
Each time, Jinwoo felt a surge of strength in his cock, and it seemed like her ass was responding with little twitches.
Wanting to keep feeling the rush, Jinwoo slightly pulled back and then pushed forward again, meeting her closely.
The immense pleasure was relayed from his cock once more.
Her ass seemed to tremble.
Jinwoo adjusted his huge cock between the cheeks of her ass, pushing forward again for a close fit.
His cock was now firmly pressed under the curve of her ass, with his balls crushed against her.
It seemed like her body was slowly heating up.
A sticky warmth seemed to emanate from her, Jinwoo thought.
Maybe, just like the night before, her pussy was moistening her thighs, flowing down indecently.
Jinwoo moved his hand slightly down to grasp the hips firmly.
At that, mom seemed startled for a moment then leaned her head against Jinwoo's chest.
-Still holding Minji's hand-
Her breath smelled of alcohol.
Her face was now completely flushed, and from head to ass, she was in full contact with Jinwoo without any gap.
In this crowded train, they continued to feel each other's bodies closely for a few more stops.
* * *
During the ride, Jinwoo pulls out his smartphone.
He sends a photo to his mom via the messenger app.
Her smartphone chimes with the notification.
She quickly pulls out her own phone and checks the photo Jinwoo sent without Minji noticing.
It was the carefully taken photo of the red leather dog collar with bells from the pet store.
Puzzled, she turns to say something to Jinwoo, but then turns back to her phone screen and types a question mark to Jinwoo.
Jinwoo meticulously types a message back in response to her question.
"I thought it would suit you, mom."
Seeing the message, mom pauses, seemingly embarrassed, then her breathing hastens as if flustered, and she sighs deeply before shakily typing back a response to Jinwoo.
Jinwoo hears the notification sound and checks the message from his mom.
"Jinwoo, are you looking to die? -_-^"
A playful, albeit threatening message with an angry emoticon was sent by mom.
Jinwoo's face flushed as he read the message from his adoring mom.
His cock grew even firmer, pressing and grinding against her ass.
