Krueng!

[Delicious!]

Cuengi was happily enjoying the honey-flavored kudzu root.

Then,

Swoosh.

Suddenly, someone grabbed his scruff, making Cuengi angry for being disturbed while eating.

‘How dare someone mess with me, Crimson Giant Honeybear Cuengi?!’

Just as Cuengi was about to transform and teach the disturber a lesson,

“Got you! You rascal!”

Recognizing Sejun’s familiar voice, Cuengi’s eyes widened and his heart sank in shock.

Krueng?

[Why do I hear Dad’s voice?]

Creak. Creak.

Feeling ominous, Cuengi struggled to turn its head back.

And,

“Cuengi, do you realize your mistake?!”

Cuengi’s eyes met Sejun’s, who held his scruff with an ‘I got you!’ expression. Cuengi’s eyes were shaking, realizing his fault.

Krueng… Krueng…

[I’m sorry, Dad… Cuengi just love the honey taste too much…]

Cuengi, with drooping ears, tearfully confessed its mistake to Sejun. What if Dad hates me now…

Cuengi trembled, in fear of being hated by Sejun’s.

‘He’s so cute!’

Sejun’s lips twitched, struggling not to smile at Cuengi’s adorable state.

But,

‘No, I mustn’t!’

Sejun disciplined his softening heart. He knew he had to properly reprimand Cuengi. Overlooking this now would only worsen Cuengi’s behavior.

“Cuengi, you admit it was wrong to eat all the tasty stuff yourself, right?”

Sejun let go of Cuengi’s scruff and placed his hands under Cuengi’s armpits, and looked him in the eyes.

Kooueng… Kooueng…

[Yes… I’m sorry, Dad…]

Cuengi tearfully responded to Sejun’s question, his eyes starting to water.

“If you did wrong, you should be punished, right?”

Sejun sternly spoke, fighting the urge to be lenient as he saw Cuengi’s tears.

Kooueng… Kooueng…

[Yes… Cuengi did wrong and should be punished…]

Cuengi nodded in agreement.

“Then, as a punishment, you’ll eat only bitter kudzu roots for the next ten days. Reflect on your actions while eating them.”

There was no personal vendetta. Definitely not revenge. It was all to teach Cuengi a lesson…

Sejun convinced himself, reaffirming his intentions internally while,

Krueng!

[Understood!]

Though Cuengi never liked bitter food, he accepted the punishment, acknowledging his fault.

“Good. But Dad’s still not happy yet.”

Sejun maintained a stern face while wiping the tears around Cuengi’s eyes and then,

“This is the punishment for eating something tasty alone! Bubububub!”

He pressed his face against Cuengi’s belly and playfully blew raspberries on his belly.

Koouee…? Kuehehehe!

[Does Dad feel better now…? Hehehe!]

Cuengi, initially scared of being scolded, soon realized Sejun wasn’t angry anymore and started laughing.

“Cuengi, you know if you cry and then laugh, you’ll grow hair on your butt?¹” (TL: See note below)

Sejun teased Cuengi playfully.

But,

Krueng? Krueng!

[What do you mean? Cuengi already has hair on his butt!”

Cuengi displayed his buttocks while speaking. It was indeed a very natural thing for Cuengi.

“Yeah?! Then take more of my punishment! Bubububub.”

Kuehehehe.
