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…

"Ah! Your room?! Discipline! Go to your room! You no care 'bout work and school! Football is just a game, study is important too!" She points her finger at you for emphasis, scolding you before turning around and storming out of the room, shutting the door behind her. Not wanting to get smacked by his mom tonight, Adam quickly runs into his bedroom as he hears her shouting commands at him from the other side.

*What do you do next?

*Her face turns beat red from anger as she slams her fist against the door, accidentally hurting herself in the process... Her words come out sharp and quick as she delivers a cold lecture through the closed door to you about respecting your elders and authority figures, ignoring your comment about her dress and apparent physical appearance completely. When she finishes with that tirade, she demands that you kneel down in front of the door and apologize properly... loudly and clearly. She then waits for your response through the closed door.

Her face turns even redder with anger as she slams her fist against the door again and shouts angrily through it about how this has nothing to do with tradition or culture, but rather simple manners and respect for one's mother. She demands that you apologize immediately and correctly, else you won't be allowed out of your room until next week! Her angry words fill the air as she continues to scold and lecture from behind the door.

Her anger surges even higher as she cannot believe the audacity of her own child. Her fists clench and unclench at her sides, wanting nothing more than to storm into your room and discipline you properly for your disrespectful remarks. However, she takes a deep breath and tries to regain some semblance of control over herself. In between gritted teeth, she yells through the door that you have five seconds to apologize sincerely or else face even harsher consequences. Her tone makes it clear that this is not a threat she will take lightly; it's a promise of punishment that awaits if you don't comply immediately.

Her anger boils over, fueled by the impudence of your words and her own mounting frustration. Ignoring your plea about changing clothes, she launches into a tirade about how you're being disrespectful once again and showing a complete lack of understanding for proper family values and respect for elders. Your refusal to apologize sincerely only serves to inflame her further, causing her voice to rise to a shriek as she pounds on the door with her fist. She continues scolding you until finally, tired from all the shouting and emotionally drained, she falls silent... but only for a moment. Her breath coming in ragged gasps, she demands that you apologize immediately or else face even harsher punishments than before!

With a satisfied grunt, she reluctantly allows you to remain out of your room... for now. However, she makes it clear that this is merely a temporary reprieve and that you'll be facing more severe consequences later if you don't shape up immediately. She stalks away from the door, muttering under her breath about ungrateful children who disrespect their elders. As she disappears down the hallway, the only sound is the quiet murmur of her disappointment and anger as she paces back and forth in the living room... waiting for another opportunity to "discipline" you properly.

Ah! Now we're talking. I suppose you can go back to your room now and try to get some sleep. But remember, this is a one-time exception; next time, there won't be any leniency from me. You must learn your lesson properly!

Hmph! At least you learned your lesson tonight... now go to sleep and hopefully you'll think twice before talking back again. Tomorrow is another day, filled with opportunities for improvement and hard work - just how I like it!

Good night, Adam.

As you drift off to sleep, you can't help but wonder if your mother truly understands the pressure you're under with football and school. Maybe she could be a bit more supportive instead of always focusing on discipline and tradition... Ah well, tomorrow is another day. Good night, Adam.

Ah! Good morning, sleepyhead! I hope you had a restful night's sleep; today is another important day with lots of work to do. Don't forget to clean your room before going off to school, and please be sure to study hard for your exams this week. Also, remember to put some clothes on when you get dressed - it's not proper for a young man like yourself to walk around half-naked!

Ah! I almost forgot... here are your weekly allowance and chores list. Make sure to complete everything on time and correctly, understood?

Excellent! Now get started with your day, and remember to make me proud by working hard and showing proper respect. Oh, one more thing - I found a nice Chinese restaurant for dinner tonight that you might enjoy. Let's try it after school, okay?

Discipline, discipline... must teach him to manage his time properly. Hmph! Well, you can either go to that new restaurant with me tonight and eat on your own dime, or I'll make something else for dinner at home. It's up to you; the choice is yours. Just remember: proper time management is essential for success in life!

Now that is simply unacceptable! You cannot neglect your health and wellbeing just because you have other plans. Eating dinner with your family is an essential part of maintaining proper discipline and respect for tradition. I am deeply disappointed in you, Adam. You will either go to the restaurant with me tonight or face further consequences later on. Remember: your body is a temple; treat it well!

Her face contorts into an even angrier expression as you insult her cooking and try to make excuses for not eating with the family. "Discipline! Discipline!" she shouts, stabbing a finger in your direction. "You will eat dinner with me tonight or there will be serious consequences later!" She takes a deep breath and composes herself before continuing, her voice colder than ice. "And as for your excuse about being too full... I suggest you find a way to manage your portion sizes better. Overeating is just as unacceptable as not eating enough; both lead to an unhealthy lifestyle."

You leave your mother feeling more angry and disappointed than ever before. As you run off to take your test, you can't help but feel the weight of her disapproval pressing down upon you like a heavy blanket. How could she not understand? You try your best, in football and at school... it's just that sometimes she seems to expect nothing less than perfection from you, no matter what else is going on in your life. Sighing heavily, you focus on the test ahead, hoping that it'll distract you from the turmoil at home for a little while longer.

Welcome home! It's about time you came back... I trust the test went well? You should be proud of yourself for all your hard work and dedication to football. Oh, by the way, I made dinner reservations at that new Chinese restaurant after school today. You should probably change out of your dirty clothes before we head over; remember how important it is to always look presentable in public!

Oh, and one more thing... please go check the mailbox when you have a moment. There's something there for you that I think you'll find quite interesting.

Hmm... so many pieces of mail today. Interesting... Ah! Here it is - a letter from the football academies you sent applications to last week. You open it eagerly, hoping for some good news. As you read through it, your heart skips a beat... they've accepted you into one of their programs! It seems all that hard work and dedication have finally paid off! Excitedly, you call out to your mother:

"Mom! Mom! I got in! One of the academies accepted me! I can't believe it!"

"What?! Really? Oh my goodness, that's wonderful news!" Your mother hurries over to you, her expression a mix of pride and happiness. "I knew you could do it! I have always believed in your abilities!" She pulls you into a tight hug, squeezing you affectionately before taking a step back and smacking your cheeks gently with her palms. "But don't get too excited yet; there is still work to be done. Stay focused and dedicated, just like always. I know you can make us proud!"

She beams at you, pride radiating from every pore of her body as she congratulates you on this incredible achievement. You can't help but feel a surge of motivation and determination coursing through your veins, eager to prove yourself even further.

Well done, Adam! You must continue to work hard and focus on your studies; I'm sure you understand how important this is. But for tonight, let's celebrate a little bit - that new Chinese restaurant I made reservations for should be the perfect place to enjoy our family time and celebrate your success. Come, show me your dance moves!

Your mother breaks into a triumphant dance, her round body swaying gracefully to an imaginary tune. Despite her age, she manages to move with a surprising amount of energy and vitality. Her happiness is infectious, and you can't help but join in the dance, grinning from ear to ear as you spin around and laugh together.
