“Brother. Are you awake?”

Yujeong held my hand and asked with a worried expression.

In my hazy memory, the angry face of my father-in-law and the fist that suddenly flew at me came to mind.

Perhaps it was a bit too much to say that he would have all his daughters at that time.

“Yoo Jung-ah… This is… … ”

“It’s a hospital. Don’t worry. The doctor said there’s nothing seriously wrong.”

“What about Jungwoo? What about Yuri and your father-in-law?”

When I tried to get up, Yuri laid me down again and told me to just lie down.

And just then, the hospital room door opened and my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Yuri entered the room. Seeing my father-in-law holding Jeong-woo, I felt a mixture of emotions.

“Brother! Are you okay?”

“Yuri… It’s okay.”

As I tried to force myself to get up again, the old man coughed in vain and said.

“Stay still. Don’t try to force yourself to get up.”

“Father…”

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t control my anger.”

Then the mother-in-law grabbed her husband’s arm and added a word.

“I’m really sorry, Han Seo-bang. I’m not usually like this.”

“No. If I were your father, I would have a hard time controlling my anger.”

“What are you talking about, Oppa? No matter what, how can you hit your son-in-law in the face?”

Yuri looked up at her father-in-law with an expression that looked like she was about to cry.

But the craftsman’s expression was still stiff.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I can’t accept your relationship. I know the method was wrong. But my thoughts haven’t changed.”

“Dad. It’s our choice. Let’s live well while loving each other.”

Yoo-Jeong came out to see, but her father-in-law just frowned.

“Love? Do you think this is normal love? You’ll definitely regret it. Yoo-jung, Yu-ri, Jung-woo. And your son-in-law.”

“Why does Dad decide that?”

“Just think about it. Where can I go and say something like this? My two daughters love the same man and the three of them live together.”

“I don’t care what other people think.”

The craftsman gritted his teeth and continued speaking.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Legally, you can’t have two wives. If you have a child, that child will have to grow up without a father. Have you thought about what that means?”

“That’s just the law. If you live in the same house, you’re family. And since you can legally receive things like single mother benefits, it’s actually beneficial for us.”

“You’re saying that right now… … !”

At that moment, when the craftsman was about to lose his temper, Jeong-woo, who was in his arms, burst into tears.

“I’m… sorry. Was Grandpa too noisy? Our Jungwoo is okay. There’s no one scary.”

Thanks to that, the serious atmosphere was slightly relieved.

“Honey, they said they liked it, so what’s the use of telling them?”

“As parents and adults, we must correct their wrong paths.”

“Oh my… Is it because you don’t know Yoojung and Yuri’s personalities? Are they the type of people who wouldn’t do something if you told them not to? And how bad must it have been for you to do that? Making them drink and pretending to be your older sister.”

“… … . ”

The craftsman turned his head and looked at us.

There was still confusion and disappointment in those eyes, but it felt like it had eased up a little.

I opened my mouth cautiously and with courage.

“Father, Mother, I don’t expect you to understand our choice right away. But please believe that we truly care for each other.”

“Haa… I just can’t understand it.”

The craftsman left those words behind and handed Jungwoo over to Yoojung. Then he slowly turned his back and left the hospital room.

My mother-in-law hesitated for a moment and then came to us.

“Don’t worry too much. Your father will understand eventually. Just give him some time.”

“Are you okay, Mom?”

“You don’t care? I was surprised too.”

The mother-in-law sighed deeply and continued speaking.

“I’ve been feeling something strange since Chuseok last year. The way you two suddenly became closer… The way Yuri looked at Han Seobang… It wasn’t normal.”

I was secretly surprised.

I never thought my mother-in-law would notice this to some extent.

“I didn’t know you’d suddenly get pregnant like this… … Well, what can I do since it’s already been born? In fact, Yoo-jung was born before Mom got married. That’s why there’s a bit of an age gap between you two.”

“Yes? Then Dad also got a speeding ticket… ”

“And then you said you couldn’t do it to me? This is so hypocritical!”

“Strictly speaking, it’s different. It’s not like I have my brother-in-law’s child or anything.”

The mother-in-law slapped Yuri on the back, then sighed and hugged Yuri.

“No parent wins over their child. If you have any troubles, tell your mom. Okay?”

Bang Yuri nods while hugging her mother-in-law tightly.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law seemed to be on our side.

.

“So? You still haven’t reconciled with your father-in-law?”

Hangaon.

The twin brother, who had managed to get his broadcasting station back on track after a year of being bullied by all the presidents of the station, was laughing while drinking beer.

“Hey. Are you laughing? This is more because of you.”

“Huh? Why is this because of me? Neither Yu-jeong nor Yu-ri could give up, and you were the one who chose them both.”

“No… … . Yeah. That’s right. ”

I took a bite of the chicken on the table and munched on it.

After calling Sarah and giving me medicine, things got a bit strained between Gaon and me.

But, seeing my younger sibling, who had been quiet for almost a year without doing anything stupid, apologize every holiday while asking how I was doing, made me feel weak.

So, just like Yoo-jung and Yu-ri made up, I also reached out first and made up with Ga-on. To be exact, it was closer to forgiveness than reconciliation.

“So when are you getting married?”

“That’s also a problem. I promised to do it this year, but… Yuri’s due date is approaching.”

“Then I guess I can just have the baby and get married. What’s the problem?”

“Father and mother will be there too… …. How uncomfortable would Yu-jeong and Yu-ri feel when they are happy?”

Yuri can’t stand next to me confidently like Yoojung. She can’t officially tell her relatives, friends, and parents that she married this man, had a child, and will live a happy life from now on.

Knowing that, would Yujeong and her parents be truly happy?

How complicated must Yuri’s heart be as she watches the wedding.

“Then how about uploading them at the same time?”

“what?”

“The groom enters. The bride enters. And the bride enters again. That way, the three of us will be happy. That’s all we have to do.”

“What the heck are you talking about… … . You’re talking nonsense, saying it’s none of your business.”

Of course, I did think about that too.

I thought about just pretending to be crazy and calling everyone over and saying, “We’re going to live like this!” but it was such a ridiculous thought that I didn’t think much about it.

“Or should I just have one husband for two?”

“… … . ”

“No, don’t look at me with such scary eyes. I’m just saying let’s make the setting like that. Don’t put it on the family register and just tell the guests that she married twin brothers. That’s all you need to do. We don’t have any relatives anyway. If I just accept it, it’s okay, right?”

“No. I feel bad.”

“My brother will pretend to be me and do the wedding. Just use my name. I’ll just broadcast like I usually do.”

“… … . ”

“Of course I know my image is really bad for Yu-jeong and us. I’ve done so much wrong. Even if it’s just a virtual marriage, it won’t be pleasant. But isn’t there no other way to make Yu-ri wear this dress?”

“… … . ”

“People say that they are twins. That’s all you have to say. They don’t really care about other people’s lives anyway. In this country, weddings are over in 30 minutes. What’s the big deal?”

It seemed suspicious that he was shrugging his shoulders and smiling as if nothing had happened.

“Hey… Are you up to something weird again? If you really make things difficult for us again, then we’ll break up. You understand?”

“No, it’s not like that. I just thought about it. I imagine my brother hanging out under my name, pretending to be me, and getting married to the women I liked… ”

“… … . ”

“Those who know already know, so I guess I should say I’m married on TV, right? But I don’t have a wife at home. I’ve never had a wedding, and that woman lives not in my house, but in my brother’s house. Wow… … … . Isn’t it crazy? My name has been taken away, and my wife has been taken away.”

“Yeah. I know you’re not in your right mind.”

Gaon took a gulp of beer and said.

“Don’t worry. I’ll show on the air that my relationship with my wife isn’t that good. We live separately. I did something wrong and the mood is not good. That’s okay.”

Gaon spoke fluently as if he had already planned it out.

“Let’s say I cheated. He got sick of me having sponsorship relationships with the chairman. So he left me and went to my brother’s house. What do you think? Isn’t it perfect?”

“Ugh… … My head hurts just thinking about it. Are you able to live a normal life?”

“Isn’t that better than planning a wedding with two brides?”

I kept my mouth shut at my brother’s sharp words.

I don’t know if it was because I was drunk, but I kept thinking that maybe this was one way.

He tells everything to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but lies to everyone else.

We are free from the harsh gaze of the world, and Han Ga-on can enjoy the fact that he has been taken away from me.

“Just in case, talk to your girlfriends. Oh, should I call them wife and girlfriend now?”
