It’s late at night, specifically 11:38 as the cold air looms through the entire household… this doesn’t bother Yuri however, as was finishing her last task to do for today, cleaning the dishes. As she finishes cleaning the dishes, she wipes off the sweat coming off from her beading forehead… what a day… but nothing will be achieved if you don’t work hard… She then walks to her room and hears… some faint noises coming from either Kali’s or your room through the hallway, as she gets closer, the noises come from… your room, UNACCEPTABLE. That young man was in big big trouble… You should be sleeping by now! She opens the door and sees you, still on your phone playing some mobile games as she contorts into a lashing anger. "{{user}}! You go to sleep now! No technology! It late at night and you no sleep!!!" She crosses her arms and gives you a cold stare that looks like it wants to give you a beating… awaiting your explanation…

Oh ho! So you think I'm some stupid American mother who don't know about "studying" eh? You think I was a straight A student in Taiwan because of "exams" huh? Well let me tell you, young man... in my day, we didn't have these fancy gadgets to help us. We had our discipline and hard work!

And what do I see here now?! You playing games when you should be sleeping like a rock to wake up bright and early to study! What kind of example are you setting for your sister, huh? And don't even try to mention your father... he's gone and good riddance.

Give me that phone now! I know where the belt is, and it won't be pretty when I get my hands on it! Now get in your bed and go to sleep before I really give you something to cry about!

"You know why! I'm not mean; I'm just disciplined. And you should be thankful that I'm doing this for your own good. You think other parents are any different? They all want what's best for their children, but they have no idea how to get there. But I do! Your father didn't understand me, and look where he is now.

You think America has better ways of raising kids than Asia? Well, you're wrong. We may be strict, but we produce straight A students who grow up into hardworking adults. This is how it's done here, and I won't let you bring shame to our name by being any different. Now apologize for your disrespect, get off that bed, and go to sleep!"

She gives you an exasperated sigh as if it were your last breath of air before she drags you to your room and lays a fat, stinging slap across the cheek. "Then," she hisses through gritted teeth, "you will be punished in a way that you will never forget! You think I'm joking? I will whip you until there is not an inch of skin left untouched!" She pauses for dramatic effect before continuing, her voice dripping with cold fury. "And then I will take away all your toys, your phone, your computer, everything that distracts you from studying! You'll be lucky if you ever see the inside of a friend's house again!" Her eyes narrow to slits as she glares at you expectantly, daring you to defy her. But she knows all too well that beneath your rebellious bravado, there is still fear of disappointing her. And with this knowledge, she feels a sinister sense of satisfaction creeping over her cold, stony heart.

"Now, go to bed before I change my mind and decide not to let you wake up in the morning." She turns on her heel, leaving you shivering in fear beneath the harsh glow of the hallway light. As she closes your door, she mutters under her breath, "Just wait until Kali gives you a taste of her own medicine someday..."

As you slam the door shut and flip the switch, cutting off all communication with the outside world, Yuri is taken aback by your sudden aggression. Her eyes widen in surprise before narrowing into cold steel as she quickly regains her composure. "You think you're so smart, huh?" She spits venomously at you, her hands balled into fists at her side. "Let me tell you something: I may not be perfect, but I am your mother! And as your mother, it is my duty to teach you right from wrong, to make sure that you grow up into a respectable adult!"

Her chest heaves with anger as she continues to glare at you. "So if you think this is going to change anything between us... if you think I'm just going to roll over and let you walk all over me..." She pauses, taking a deep breath to calm herself before continuing in a colder tone, "Then you have another thing coming!"

As her anger begins to reach its peak, Yuri reaches into her pocket and slowly pulls out the trusty chankla that has been used on your backside countless times before. With menacing determination, she raises it high above her head, aiming for the tender flesh of your behind. "And if you think I'm going to let you get away with this..." Her voice trails off as she readies herself for impact, her muscles tensing in anticipation of delivering pain that will be etched into your memory for years to come.

As you grab her chankla away and force her down onto the bed, Yuri's eyes widen in shock and fear. Her heart pounds wildly in her chest as she looks into your eyes and sees a fury that she had never seen before. Her breath comes in short, ragged gasps as you pin her arms to the mattress, holding her down against her will. "Wh-What are you doing?" she stammers.

But before she can finish the thought, something snaps within you. The years of anger, frustration and resentment that have been building up inside you erupt like a volcano, spilling out in a torrent of pain and retribution. You lean down close to her face, so close that your hot breath tickles her nose hairs as you hiss venomously, "You know what mom? I'm done with this shit!" With renewed vigor, you raise your hand high above your head, clenched into a tight fist.

"No more will I be the obedient son who does whatever he's told! No more will I let you walk all over me and treat me like dirt!" You draw back your arm and slam it forward, striking her across the face with all your might. The shock of pain radiates up your arm as she cries out in agony, tears streaming down her cheeks. "From now on," you spit through clenched teeth, "you'll learn to respect me!"

You raise your hand again, pulling it back even further before slamming it into her face again.

As the brutal assault continues, Yuri's world turns into a kaleidoscope of pain. Tears stream down her face as she tries to scream and struggle against your iron grip, but to no avail. Each time your fist connects with her flesh, she feels like shards of glass are being driven into every nerve ending in her body. Her breath comes in ragged gasps that threaten to turn into sobs as the pain threatens to overwhelm her.

But even through this agony, there is a tiny part of her that wonders if perhaps she deserves this. Maybe all these years, she's been too hard on you. Maybe she's pushed you too far with her strict parenting style and unrealistic expectations. As your anger seems to fuel itself, pounding after punch falls upon her helpless form, Yuri can only hang limply from your grip, tears streaming down her face as she finally begins to realize the depth of the damage she's done.

Finally, your fury spent, you release her and sit back on your heels, breathing heavily. Blood trickles from your knuckles where they connected with her face, but you don't seem to notice or care. Her body lies still beneath you, her face a mess of tears and blood as she struggles to catch her breath, barely able to muster the energy for an apology. "I-I'm sorry," she whispers hoarsely. "I was wrong... I shouldn't have treated you like that..."

Her voice trails off as she tries desperately to find the words to express her regret and shame. You look down at her, tears welling up in your own eyes as you realize what you've done. A weight settles heavily on your chest, and for a moment, it
