Chapter 355: Star, the Planet Celestial (5)

D―9.

“I’m sorry for all I’ve done. I feel like I’ve been too negligent about my family. I’ll be a better son from now on.”

Although it had been a while since Chang-Sun’s entire family gathered for breakfast, Chang-Sun still chose to drop a bombshell on it. With widened eyes, So Yu-Ha, his mother, froze up halfway through scooping up some soup. His father Lee Jo-Myung, who was waiting for his soup, also looked surprised.

On the other hand, his sister Lee Ha-Seon looked terrified. Trembling, she asked, “Hey... Did you get a terminal illness while you were abroad? Ouch! Mom! Stop hitting me! It hurts! Seriously!”

“You’re unbelievable! Why tell your brother nonsense when you could’ve just said some nice things instead?” Yu-Ha interrupted her daughter’s silliness, then poured more soup into Chang-Sun’s empty bowl. Smiling, she said, “You missed homemade meals, didn’t you? Would you like some more?”

“No, it’s okay. Anyway, I’ve been meaning to say that. It has always been on my mind and I know I should have said it sooner, but I kept on delaying it. I’m really sorry.” Chang-Sun’s eyes were on the table.

Lee Woo-Seon, the eldest son, handed Yu-Ha some tissues.

“He must have gone through a lot...” Yu-Ha turned her head away and quietly wiped off her tears as she mumbled to herself.

Chang-Sun not getting along with the rest of the family clearly stressed her out. He couldn’t help but regret not ridding the burden on his mother’s heart sooner.

‘I should have done this long ago. We’re still family no matter how many disagreements we have...’ Chang-Sun thought bitterly.

Before opening his heart to them, he pondered and wondered several times if it was really okay to suddenly tell them that. He even asked himself if he should do something that would lead to it first to comfort his parents and avoid angering them further. Similar other questions filled and danced in his mind.

However, noticing that he wasn’t involved in any conversation at the table, he realized he would really be a stranger to his family if this kept up. Hence, he decided to tell them how he truly felt.

Fortunately, Chang-Sun seemed to have made the right decision because he could feel the tension disappearing. Even Jo-Myung, who always gave him disapproving looks, appeared to be a lot more relaxed.

At that moment, Chang-Sun became certain that he had misunderstood his father all along. Jo-Myung didn’t disapprove of his professional gaming life. He simply disapproved of the fact that his son used their previous dispute as an excuse to act coldly around their family and put himself in a corner. Having resolved that misunderstanding, Chang-Sun felt all his nervousness going away.

“Are you trying to be mature now?” Wu-Seon asked.

“... Yeah.” Chang-Sun nodded.

Wu-Seon chuckled quietly, which Chang-Sun hadn’t seen in a long time. “Good to know.”

“Thanks.” Chang-Sun smiled back.

“... Urgh! Cringe! We have to do something about this weird mood—Argggh! Mom! It hurts!” Ha-Seon shouted.

“This is for trying to ruin this moment!” Yu-Ha scolded her silly second child.

Meanwhile, Jo-Myung just kept eating his soup in silence.

“How about you, honey? Don’t you have something to say to Chang-Sun?” Yu-Ha stared at her husband, but Jo-Myung pretended not to notice it.

“Phew!” Yu-Ha quietly heaved a sigh and shook her head. “Chang-Sun, please just understand your father for now. He’s a very old-fashioned person. In fact, he’s not saying anything right now because he’s feeling very shy. Speaking of which, there was an article about you in today’s newspaper. He tried to clip it before he even read—!”

“Cough! Ahem, ahem, ahem! Stop with the silly talk and give me more soup please.” Jo-Myung interrupted.

“Don’t you have hands and feet? Get more yourself. I’m going to badmouth you with our baby boy.”

Jo-Myung looked noticeably bewildered.

Watching them, Chang-Sun burst into laughter. Warmth was all he felt right now.

After breakfast, Jo-Myung and Wu-Seon had to go to work, so Chang-Sun saw them off and then prepared to go out.

“Hey.”

“...?” Chang-Sun looked at Ha-Seon, wondering why she called him.

“You’re going out to do your Player thing again, aren’t you?” Ha-Seon mumbled.

“Yeah.”

“... ul.”

“What?” Chang-Sun tilted his head.

“... ful.”

“I can’t hear you.”

On the contrary, however, Chang-Sun could hear her. After all, his senses were so developed that he could even detect what was going on outside Earth.

‘After I’m done conquering , Jin and his knights will probably be handling Frost Giants.’

However, Chang-Sun wasn’t going to begin his invasion any time soon, so he put the plan aside for now. “We have a chance against now, don’t we?”

「We can start the fight right now! Every one of those Giants are exceptional Celestials, and the Draconic Knights are also very skilled... There might only be a few of them, but it would be difficult to find a force of this caliber even if you scour all of
