Hunter X Hunter: What It's Like to Date Your Best Friend's Son

The story of a faux-literary, genuinely weird girl being forced to show her true colors. Also known as:

#My mom and I both fell into the water. Who would you save?!

#May every pair of best friends end up as mother and daughter (or father and son)#

#Godmother or wife#

#The most devoted daughter-in-law and mother-in-law in history#

#My wife was stolen away by my mom#

#The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are showing off their love every day#

#The mother-in-law makes a guest appearance every day#

Every mother-in-law once had a best friend she would get jealous over when she talked to other girls, share a cup and a bed with... and even share someone she liked.

Meeting the girlfriend's parents:

"So you're my Mary's boyfriend?" The woman scrutinized the person in front of her. "You have a house, a car, and connections; you can host guests and cook; you're witty enough to make her happy and strong enough to scare off perverts; you love every one of her flaws; when she's happy, you share her joy, and when she's sad, you cheer her up... Can you do all that?"

"..." Let's not even get into why his own mother was playing the girlfriend's parent. What was with that whole list?

"I can do all of that," the woman said confidently. Then she asked Mary anxiously, "Can this willful little brat, who only eats sweets and once punched her mother in the stomach, really take good care of you, darling?"

"..." You said it! You really said it! You said it right in front of me! You're out to trash-talk me with the full malice of the world, aren't you? Are you really my mom? What is this feeling that my dad doesn't love me, my mom doesn't care about me, and my wife is running off with someone else?

At that moment, Kiya was mentally collapsing.

At the engagement:

Let's not even get into why his mother was the bridesmaid.

"Oh, because your godmother and I swore sisterhood!"

On their wedding night:

Kiya lay on the left, staring at the ceiling. Mary lay on the right, staring at the ceiling. Her mother-in-law lay between them, staring at the ceiling.

"I've put up with so much, but..." Kiya took a deep breath. "Mother, can you tell me why you're here right now?"

"Oh, because darling is so nervous. If I'm here to guide her, she'll feel less nervous... Besides, it doesn't make much difference. Didn't I sleep with you when you were little, A-Qi?"

Mary nodded silently.

"Mary A. Patch!"
