Eunjoo looked at us, referring to each other as brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and said, “You two behave yourselves.”

“Oh~ Why, Eonni? I find this brother-in-law more likable than my previous one, so I’m thinking of switching to him.”

“Oh~ Our sister-in-law has a good eye for people.”

“I do have a good eye! Brother-in-law.”

Noticing something unsettling about Yeonju’s demeanor, Eunjoo sighed.

“Ugh~!”

I placed my hand on Eunjoo’s shoulder, pulling her towards me, and said, “Eunjoo, don’t be mad. Sister-in-law is just joking around.”

“I know, but…”

“Hey, Eunjoo, have you had lunch? If not, would you like to eat with us? We’re going to the Lucky Restaurant.”

“The Lucky Restaurant?!?! I want to go! Can I come too? I heard it’s expensive there?”

“Yes, if you want to go, let’s go together.”

“Yes! Thank you!”

Concerned that Eunjoo was pushing herself too hard to impress even her younger sister Yeonju by taking her to the restaurant, she asked me, now in a precarious situation after becoming unemployed.

“Jinwoo, are you not overdoing it?”

“Not at all. Don’t worry, I can afford both you and sister-in-law.”

“But still… You quit your job without any plans recently…”

“Oh, that? Do you really think I’d quit my job without any backup plan? I had some faith in myself, so I quit.”

“You had faith in yourself?”

“I’m a bit lucky, you see.”

“Lucky?”

Yeonju’s eyes sparkled as she asked, “Brother-in-law, did you hit the jackpot or something?”

“Not the jackpot, but I made quite a bit from some coins I bought for fun before. Enough to live without financial worries.”

“Wow, I’m envious!”

Surprised by what Yeonju and I were discussing, Eunjoo chimed in, “Really?”

“Yes! Why would I lie? That’s why I quit my job, to live freely.”

With a twinkle in her eyes, Yeonju hooked her arm with mine and said, “What about me, instead of Eonni?”

Ignoring Eunjoo’s words, Yeonju shouted to Yeonju, “Hey! What are you doing?”

“You’ve been married, and even if you divorce, you’ll be a divorced woman, but I’m in my prime, so with my good figure, I have a high chance.”

I glanced at Yeonju while she spoke, noting her slightly plump style, though leaner than Eunjoo, and with a chest that seemed to be around a C cup, she didn’t look bad.

Looking at Eunjoo and Yeonju, I said, “Alright, let’s stop fighting because of me and go eat.”

“Yes, Hyungbu.”

“Sure, Yeonja, we’ll talk later.”

Though Eunjoo spoke to Yeonju, she ignored her and urged me to enter with her arm linked with mine.

“Let’s go in, Hyungbu.”

“Okay, okay, Eunjoo, let’s go in.”

With Yeonju releasing my arm discreetly and sitting across from us, Eunjoo entered with a disgruntled expression.

A slim lady in uniform greeted us, saying, “Welcome to the Lucky Restaurant. How many in your party?”

“Three,” I replied.

“Great, this way, please.”

Following the restaurant staff, we took our seats inside.

Yeonju politely released my arm, sat across from me, and said to Eunjoo, “Eonni, sit with Hyungbu over there. I’ll sit here.”

Eunjoo gruffly complied, taking the seat opposite Yeonju, and I sat next to her.

“Okay.”

Once we were all seated, the restaurant staff handed us the menu and asked, “Here is the menu. Would you like me to introduce the dishes?”

I responded on behalf of the group, “Yes.”

Starting with “Our recommended dishes at the Lucky Restaurant are Beef Tenderloin Steak and Lobster Grilled,” the staff began explaining the menu. After hearing the descriptions, I told Eunjoo and Yeonju, “Don’t worry about the prices, order whatever you want.”

Starting with a base of 100,000 won, I felt burdened seeing the two who seemed uneasy, so I ordered a 170,000-won sirloin steak.

“I’ll have the sirloin steak as the main dish, and for the sides…”

After placing the order, I spoke to Eunju and my sister Yeonju, who were contemplating.

“Eunju said she wanted meat, so how about sirloin steak for her and lobster for Yeonju?”

“Yeah.”

“Yes.”

“Sure, one sirloin and one lobster, please.”

“Alright, confirming your order: 2 sirloin steaks and 1 lobster. Is that correct?”

“Yes.”

“Do you need wine or any soft drinks?”

Looking at Eunju and Yeonju, I asked, “Would you like some wine?”

Eunju hesitated, while Yeonju quickly replied, “I’d love some, brother-in-law!”

“Alright, bring something that goes well with it.”

“Understood.”

As the restaurant staff left, Eunju remarked, “Spending over 70,000 won on a meal… what a day…”

“Not every day, but it’s okay to indulge occasionally,” I replied.

“It’s so nice, brother-in-law!”

“Haha, once the food arrives, eat plenty, Yeonju.”

“Got it!”

Yeonju seemed delighted at the thought of eating expensive food at the restaurant. She then looked at me and asked, “How did you meet our older sister?”

“We already knew each other, but a few days ago when I visited her at home, I confessed my feelings unchanged from before, and Eunju accepted,” I explained.

“Wow, brother-in-law, you’ve liked our older sister for a long time?”

“Yeah!”

Seeing Eunju smile at my response, Yeonju teased, “Our sister is finally smiling now. Earlier, when you put your arm around her, she glared at you as if she wanted to kill you.”

“When did I…”

“Just earlier.”

Looking at Eunju, I asked, “Were you jealous of Yeonju?”

“It’s not jealousy… I just felt a bit off.”

“Hey, sis, that’s jealousy~”

“It’s funny that I’m jealous too; I don’t even have the right to be jealous…”

“Then, brother-in-law, can I flirt with you?”

“No, you can’t!”

“Why not?”

“I know you too well.”

“If it’s me, I can live quietly by your side, right? And if we’re compatible, hehe.”

Eunju seemed about to get angry at Yeonju’s words but held back, and I cleared my throat, looking at Yeonju.

“You…”

“Hmm.”

“I might have played around a bit, but I’m a well-behaved girl to you, brother-in-law.”

Taken aback by Yeonju’s confident confession, I stuttered, “Uh… um… yeah… that could be true, Yeonju.”

“I’ll play around a bit and then behave next to you from now on… Oops!”

Before I could respond, Yeonju suddenly exclaimed, startling Eunju and me.

Eunju forced a smile and said to Yeonju, “How about being quiet, little sister?”

“Ah… okay! But do you have to step on my foot while saying that?”

“You seem to be going too far.”

“Okay, okay.”

While Eunju and Yeonju bickered, the waiter arrived with their ordered food.

“Here are your dishes.”

“Thank you.”

“Let me assist with the setup.”

The waiter skillfully arranged the food, pouring red wine for the sirloin steak and white wine for the seafood.

“Enjoy your meal.”

“Thank you!”

“It looks delicious!”

Yeonju, holding her phone, enthusiastically took pictures, saying, “Gotta take photos for Instagram before eating~ Hehe.”

Watching Yeonju take pictures, I smiled and told Eunju, “Let’s eat first.”

“Okay.”

Using the knife to cut the sirloin steak, it sliced smoothly.

Cutting sound~

As I tasted the meat, it melted in my mouth.

“This sirloin steak is so tender and delicious!”

“Yeah, the meat is really tender.”

Feeling mischievous, I whispered softly to Eunju, “As tender and delicious as your chest.”

Blushing, Eunju looked at me while cutting her meat.

Yeonju, having finished taking photos, started eating the lobster. After tasting it, she raised her thumb and said, “It’s so delicious, brother-in-law!”

“Haha, eat a lot, sister-in-law.”

“Yes~~”

Without much conversation, we ate our respective ordered dishes while drinking wine.

After finishing the food, a restaurant staff member approached us and said, “For dessert, we have coffee, green tea, and ice cream. What would you like?”

“I’ll have ice cream.”

“I’ll take coffee.”

“I’ll also have coffee.”

In order, I, Eunju, and my sister-in-law Yeonju placed our orders, and shortly after, the restaurant staff brought the desserts we ordered.

Handing out the ice cream and coffee, the staff member said, “Enjoy your time.”

“Yes.”

As the restaurant staff left, my sister-in-law said, “Thanks to my brother-in-law today, I had delicious food and even took photos to post on Instagram, hehe.”

“Did you enjoy the meal, sister-in-law?”

“Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed it!”

Looking at Eunju, I asked, “Did you enjoy your meal too, Eunju?”

“Yes! It’s my first time here, and it’s delicious despite being expensive!”

“Then let’s come again next time.”

“Sure.”

“Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! I want to come again next time too!”

“Sure, I’ll bring you along next time, sister-in-law.”

“Yes~”

Amidst the cheerful atmosphere, we chatted as we finished our desserts and felt like it was time to leave.

“Let’s get going now.”

“Okay.”

“Yes~”

As we got up from our seats and headed to the counter, the staff smiled and said, “Did you enjoy your meal?”

“Yes.”

“That will be 857,000 won.”

I handed over my card and said, “One-time payment.”

“Alright, just a moment. Your payment has been processed. Take care on your way out~”

Outside the restaurant, Eunju and Yeonju commented, “The food was good, but it was quite pricey.”

“We enjoyed it, brother-in-law!”

“Yeah, hearing that you enjoyed it makes me happy. We’re planning to visit the department store next; what are you going to do, sister-in-law?”

“I’d love to join, but if I do, my sister might notice, so I think I’ll head home for now.”
