Most ethernet networks have range of 100m without requiring a repeater or switch. That's a LONG WAY and almost certainly further than the location of your hub from your room.
Here is a really long ethernet cable for $30. I'd recommend actually measuring the distance and planning it with your parents.
In my house I ran cables from the attic down into the walls by the hub and in each room. You can either have the cables stick right out of the wall, or if you want to be nicer about it, cut open the cable and wire them into a wall plate, patching them into your PC with a short cable. Here is a howto video. In the video he has a cable TV jack right next to it, and if you have something like that you don't even need to cut a new hole in the wall; you can just use a dual plate like this one.
Why not chop them at the wall (well a couple feet outside the wall) and do it right with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/TNP-Ethernet-Network-Cat6-Plate/dp/B019XSN2DQ/ref=pd_sim_23_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B019XSN2DQ&pd_rd_r=E9Q8GK9C31JT1MFW0JEV&pd_rd_w=qkE01&pd_rd_wg=tyYyt&psc=1&refRID=E9Q8GK9C31JT1MFW0JEV
The only way that makes sense is if these wires were run for phone wiring.
That said you could do 1 of 2 things
1 get a faceplate with 2 Ethernet jacks and punch down both and then jumper them together with a short Ethernet cable. I’m not familiar with euro faceplate sizes etc but something like this should do the trick for you. Maybe something like this for the Ethernet cable.
The second option, if you want to be able get Ethernet connectivity at the first port, would be to still install the double faceplate above, but also run a switch at that point. a basic switch like this would be fine, as long as it’s gigabit.
