“I don’t like it. What’s the big deal about a wedding?”

Yuri shook her head after listening to my story.

Yuri’s belly was so swollen that she could almost be called full-term.

“If you really want to do something for me, then take pictures of me wearing my wedding dress later at a rented studio. You can hang them up at home.”

“Are you sure it’s okay? Invite your friends too… and get congratulations from your mom and dad… Don’t you want to do that?”

“not really.”

Yuri furrowed her brows with a look of genuine displeasure.

“Now, oppa, you’ve probably seen through my relationships. There’s no one I can invite to my wedding.”

“ah…….”

“I was basically bullied in middle and high school. The friends I had that I could talk to and hang out with all the time all stopped contacting me when I went to college. Then, streamer Han Ga-on, who I thought was destined to be with me, tricked me into giving it to another guy.”

As someone who caught and ate the flying glass, I had nothing else to say but that I was sorry.

“I don’t mean to say anything to you, oppa. Anyway, let me summarize it this way. I want to try on a wedding dress once, but I don’t want to show it off to people and get applause. My dad still doesn’t accept us, and my mom will congratulate me even if we don’t have a wedding or anything, so it doesn’t matter.”

“Are you sure that’s okay? Is it because of me… …”

“Oppa. Are you going to stress me out with this kind of talk? Just come here and hug me.”

Bang Yuri cuts me off and spreads her arms.

I went to Yuri and hugged her like a butterfly drawn to a flower.

“That guy is blowing weird winds at you again, right? You can tell just by looking at him.”

“Then should we just have a wedding with just the three of us?”

“yes?”

“Let’s give it a try. A wedding with one groom and two brides.”

“I need to make sense. I don’t want to embarrass you. I’m just going to have a nice wedding with you. If you feel bad about that, then be nicer to me and our Byul from now on.”

Byul is both a given name and a real name.

I was thinking about what name would be related to Yuri, and I thought it wouldn’t be strange to use it as a nickname, and it wouldn’t be strange to use it as a real name, so it was a name that Yuri strongly pushed for.

“Okay. Then later, let’s dress up and take a picture with Byul and the three of us.”

“No. At that time, I left the stars with my sister and just took the picture for the two of us.”

“Huh…huh?”

“Even if she’s my daughter, I can’t share my brother with her. It’s already hard to share with my sister.”

I laughed slightly at the words that I couldn’t tell if they were serious or a joke.

I still feel grateful that you like me so much, but at the same time, I feel sorry.

“You know I love you, right?”

“I know. I love you too.”

As I lightly kissed her and placed my hand on her stomach, I could feel the sensation of her stomach being patted.

Fortunately, Yuri, like Yujeong, also gave birth safely.

Byul-i was discharged safely without any problems, and the family that started out with three people has now grown to five people.

Yujeong, Yuri and me.

This is how the three of them take care of their son, Jeong-woo, and daughter, Byeol-i, day after day.

One day, while we were having such a happy time, my father suddenly came to our house.

“dad?”

It was Yuri who opened the front door and welcomed her father-in-law. Since Yujeong hadn’t come home from work yet, it was just me, Yuri, and our children at home.

“It’s been a while.”

The craftsman looked at Yuri’s stomach for a moment and then turned his gaze towards me.

“It’s been a while, Han Seo-bang.”

“Yes. It’s been a while. Come in.”

“Then excuse me.”

The craftsman handed me the gifts he was holding in both hands and walked towards the living room.

“What’s going on? Without even contacting me?”

“… … . ”

“I hope you answered the phone when I called you.”

“Yuri. Don’t be like that.”

The horned Yuri was calmed down.

The fact that you even brought a gift to visit me means that my father-in-law must have put in a lot of effort.

“If you contact me and come visit, I won’t be able to see you as usual.”

“yes?”

“It’s not easy to love two women at the same time. No one can say that.”

“Ahhh… … So you came here to check if oppa really loves you and me equally, right?”

The craftsman began to slowly walk around the house without saying a word.

Living room, bedroom, bathroom, and even children’s room.

“Hanseobang. Do the three of you sleep together?”

To be honest, it was a little difficult to answer.

It was a matter of just telling the truth, but I was worried that it might sound like, “Yes, I sleep well every night with my father-in-law’s two daughters in my arms.”

“That’s right. The three of us are sleeping snugly together.”

“I didn’t ask you.”

“Tch… … ”

“Yes. The three of us are sleeping together.”

The craftsman let out a deep sigh at my words.

It seemed like he was resigned rather than angry.

Looking back on the traces of our life together and accepting the reality that my two daughters truly love one man… It felt like I was going through such a difficult journey alone.

“You’ve grown this much already… You seemed much smaller when I hit your face last time.”

“Because children grow up quickly.”

“Did you say it was a star? Yeah. It was small, just like this.”

The craftsman stood there for a long time in silence, looking at Jungwoo and Byeol lying side by side.

“Really… … Who do you take after to be so stubborn?”

“Who do you think you look like? Your dad or mom, I guess.”

“I’m glad you look healthy.”

“It’s all thanks to you, oppa. You do everything for me. You do the laundry, you do the dishes, you take care of Jungwoo and Byul, you clean.”

“Why are you telling me all those things in detail? It’s embarrassing.”

“Hey, bro. These days, you have to brag about all these things. Do you think that’s easy? It’s not easy. It’s a huge deal.”

The craftsman stood still and nodded slightly.

“Yeah. I can tell right away. Yoojung and Yuri aren’t that neat of a person.”

“yes?”

“The house is clean… and it doesn’t seem to lack anything. My child is the same. Your child is the same.”

The craftsman carefully stroked Jeong-woo and Byeol-i and then suddenly opened his mouth.

“Hanseobang. Next holiday, the three of you should come together. Bring Jungwoo and Byeol too.”

“Master… ”

“They say we can’t live without each other. We even had a child together and are living well. What can I do? We’re not going to live our whole lives without seeing each other, so I have no choice but to give in.”

The craftsman stood up from his seat and looked at the glass.

“why.”

“Don’t leave all the work to Han Seo Bang. Share the housework with him.”

“yes yes?”

“Then I guess I’ll be going now.”

“Are you leaving already? When Yujeong comes, let’s have dinner together before we go.”

“Nothing to do.”

And then, leaving those words behind, he turned around and walked towards the front door.

“Is your face okay?”

“Oh, yes. That’s okay.”

“When you have time, do some exercise. If a man gets punched in the face and passes out, how are you going to protect your wives?”

A strange feeling arose at the mention of wives.

Rather than asking about my well-being, it seemed like he was trying to express his acknowledgment of our relationship in a roundabout way.

“You didn’t have to do that, did you? Even if you and my sister fight, we always lose.”

“You two are attacking each other?”

“Ah.. no. Fighting with a married couple. Yes. Sometimes when a married couple fights… … ”

“If we fight, you’re going to beat my daughters?”

“No way. You can explain it in words. Yes. I can explain it in words.”

As I was talking nonsense in front of my father-in-law, who was looking at me with a cold face, Yuri was right next to me, covering her lips and smiling happily.

“No… I meant the night shift.”

“… … . ”

“My brother has so much stamina that it would be difficult for him to build up his stamina if he continued to exercise more.”

“You…Yuri… … ”

For a moment, I could see the strength in the craftsman’s hands.

My fist was shaking slightly because I clenched it so hard.

“Oh, I might have the second one before my older sister.”

“Please stop… … ”

.

.

.

After our relationship was acknowledged by our father, we visited them every holiday.

Every time, my father-in-law prepared delicious food for us, and my mother took care of Jeong-woo and Byeol-i without saying much.

“So when are you going to upload the food? You said you would upload it last year.”

My mother, who was serving food at an omakase restaurant, asked me in a casual manner.

“Honey, how do we get married? We both like one thing. We’ll fight if we do that.”

“Yes? You can just upload them one by one.”

“Take the food in order?”

The mother-in-law continued speaking with a big smile.

“Mom thought about it, but if only one person gets married, the other person will be upset. But they can’t get married at the same time. So, let’s get married first, Yuri, and Hanseobang.”

While everyone was bewildered by her mother-in-law’s words, she continued her explanation excitedly as if she had expected this to happen.

“And then about a year later, Yoo-jung gets married to Han-seo-bang. When people ask, ‘Huh? Isn’t that the guy who married my sister last year?’, you can tell them that in the meantime, she divorced her sister and got married again to her sister.”

“Wow… This is the end.”

“Hey…. Watch TV. This isn’t even a joke. This kind of thing is very common.”

The craftsman sighed deeply and continued cooking.

But my mother-in-law continued to explain regardless.

“Yuri will become a divorcee, but since she’s not actually registering her marriage and divorce, there won’t be any records left, right? And she’ll be able to talk about her child’s father without hiding anything. Yoo-jung will become a woman who married the man who married her younger sister, but that’s a blow she can bear. Right?”

“I don’t really care if they’re single or divorced… ”

Yuri looked at Yoojung while holding Byul.

“I think it’s a pretty good method. It’s much better than having the three of you eat together or having to involve someone else.”

“Sister… … ”

“I’m a little worried that I won’t be the first to get married to you… … But I can compromise on that much. If the three of us are going to live together, we have to compromise on each other.”

“Okay. Then let’s have Yuri’s wedding first. Mom will help you.”
