Yuri and Suyeon were able to rest for half a semester after graduating early from Seoul National University.

They were always with me at home when I wasn’t working as a fitting model or filming for YouTube or other broadcasts.

Whether with clothes on or without them.

When I wasn’t filming, I was usually working out or staying home, except when I was invited by another YouTuber or appeared as a guest on a TV program, so I spent more time with the two of us.

While we were living like that, it was early fall.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

Yuri, who graduated early and was able to play and eat at home for half a semester, was watching TV one day when he suddenly covered his mouth and ran to the bathroom.

At first, she thought she was just feeling sick, but when Suyeon saw it, she seemed to instinctively feel something, so she got up from the sofa in surprise and looked toward the bathroom.

After briefly hearing Yuri retching inside, she came out of the bathroom.

Then I made eye contact with Suyeon, and they both looked at me as if they felt something.

“Seongjin.”

“Oppa.”

“Huh?”

“Do you have a pregnancy test?”

“Imtegi? Wait a minute, then you couldn’t have just thrown up… No, but Yuri, you’ve been taking birth control pills for a long time.”

“Yes, but… you never know. Whether it’s a condom or a birth control pill, it’s not 100%. I think I need to check.”

I ran to the pharmacy near my house and bought a pregnancy test.

Because of the commotion in the living room, Yumin, who had been editing the video inside, was also in the living room, and asked me with wide eyes if he had heard of the situation.

“Baby, Yuri is pregnant? Really?”

“I don’t know yet. Yuri, I’m here.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Yuri immediately went back into the bathroom and came out a little while later holding the imprint.

Her expression was a mixture of all kinds of emotions that could not be described, and her cheeks were flushed with excitement.

“I… I…”

And Yuri showed his signs.

There were two pink lines floating there.

“I… am pregnant.”

“!!!!!”

Yumin and Suyeon both gaped, and I ran over and hugged Yuri.

“Really?! Congratulations, Yuri! My child is here!”

“Thank you! But… what should we do now? What about our marriage? It’s a wedding. Even if I just close my eyes and do something crazy…”

Only one person can register a marriage.

Yuri probably wanted to say that.

That’s right, in the past, we were enemies, fighting with my older sister and bickering with Suyeon all the time, but now that we’ve been living together for over 3 and a half years, my relationship with all my girlfriends has improved considerably and they treat each other like family.

Yumin and I are a real family.

However, it is also true that the other three people, including Eun-ji, who are not here now that Yuri unexpectedly became pregnant, may be anxious.

Yuri was worried about that.

Now, Yuri didn’t want to be the only one chosen to be the royal family and get rid of the rest.

And of course, I had no intention of doing that either.

“Let’s talk about it when Eunji comes home later.”

#####

Eunji, who heard the news of Yuri’s pregnancy over the phone while she was training, was happy and hugged Yuri as if it was her own as soon as she got home.

“Yuri, congratulations! But what do we do now?”

“Still, let’s talk about it together. I really couldn’t imagine Yuri getting pregnant even though she was taking birth control pills. First of all, thank you everyone for your congratulations.”

And I laid out what I thought.

“Yuri was the first to get pregnant, but as I said before, I have no intention of treating you differently or abandoning you. know? I-”

“Are women greedy? Who doesn’t know that now.”

Suyeon received the message.

“That’s right. We will continue to live like this from now on. It’s just the same as before. But because of the law, only one person can register a marriage. To us, it’s just a piece of paper, but it’s the law anyway… But I think you guys would be too disappointed to write down Yuri’s name right there just because she’s pregnant like this.”

“That’s right. We were also taking birth control pills.”

“First of all, if you get pregnant and your name is on the marriage certificate, you didn’t even use contraception in the first place.”

“What do you think, Yuri?”

“Honestly, I also have a desire to just put my name on the line…”

Instantly, the other three gave Yuri a slightly sad look.

“We will continue to live together from now on, so how can you do something like that? I have no intention of cutting in line and saying I’m pregnant too. But in the end, you have to do it, right?”

“Yes. And the deadline for the promise I made to your parents on graduation day is almost over, and since I’m pregnant, I have to think about getting married. So just be as fair as possible…”

I looked around at the four people and expressed my opinion.

“How about deciding who will register the marriage certificate by playing rock, paper, scissors?”

“Huh? Rock Paper Scissors? That important document can only be done with rock, paper, scissors? Is that okay?”

“It would be important for an average couple. But we are not common, are we? One husband and four wives. Of course it is not recognized under Korean law.”

“Then in the end, there is only one legitimate wife.”

“So, no matter who is decided, I have one thing in mind. I asked the lawyers from the agency’s legal team to stand in attendance and filmed a video showing that all property and rights are owned equally by the four of us. Hmm… Even if we’re not a couple on paper, if we do that, we’re practically a couple, right? The other three people will also be a little less disappointed. Can’t we do that?”

We talked for a while after that, but in the end, no one could come up with a better way.

The four people agreed to my proposal, but with one additional condition.

“Then promise me this. No matter who wins, everyone else will wear it at the wedding!”

“If you have four weddings, it costs money and it’s hard to attract guests, right? And I don’t want to feel left out!”

“I don’t care if I get criticized and pointed at for being crazy. The four of us have to do the wedding and honeymoon together. Can you promise me something? Because you said we don’t discriminate?”

“Of course I’m fine… but are you really okay? It’s a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, so you don’t have to be the main star alone?”

They say a wedding is a woman’s dream.

Is it okay for you not to shine alone in that precious event that only happens once in your life?

I said that because I was worried about whether everyone would accept it, but…

“Oh my? Over the past three years, how many times have we fucked each other in bed together and are you suddenly worried about it?”

“I can’t even remember the last time we did something just the two of us.”

“If it were like before, I would have jumped, but why do I feel like it doesn’t really matter now? Have I become strange?”

“Seongjin, you love us the same way, so why are you worried?”

The four people seemed to be okay with not being the main characters alone.

And the four gathered in one place and hid their hands behind their backs with nervous expressions.

“Now, it’s a single plate! Naeje-myeon lost at rock-paper-scissors!!!”

#####

After that, I cleared my schedule for the next weekend and visited Yuri’s house with Yumin and Yuri.

“Mom, Dad! We’re here!”

“Eldest daughter, younger daughter! Come on in. Wasn’t it hard to get here?”

“Seongjin did all the driving, so why.”

“Hello.”

“It’s been a while, Seongjin. This is the first time since graduation, right? Come in first.”

Yuri’s mother called us inside and immediately peeled some fruit and brought it to the table.

Yuri’s father looked a little calmer than at the last graduation ceremony, but he was still looking at me with a slightly uncomfortable expression.

Last time, I was busy looking down out of guilt, but this time, I confidently faced Yuri’s parents and opened my mouth first.

“Father, mother. I came back to keep the promise I made on my graduation day.”

“Keu…”

“Okay, how could you not know that? She is a fitting model, a famous YouTuber, and even appeared on You Quiz. Even the lady saw it all.”

“You may still think that what I do is shameless, but… I’ve really tried my best to become a man without any shortcomings. The deadline I promised back then is almost over, so I wanted to meet you again and talk to you.”

“……”

“Father, mother. Give me your daughters.”

“Oh my-”

“Honey, just stay still.”

Yuri’s father got angry when I boldly demanded both of his daughters, so he was stopped by his wife.

“I know I look like a crazy person. But the four of us have been meeting each other since 4 years ago. I was the one who persuaded him to come over first, but now I can’t just abandon anyone irresponsibly. Yuri, Yumin… the same goes for you, of course.

I knew it was a shameless thing to do, so I worked really hard to be able to handle it all. I now have over 700,000 subscribers on YouTube, and I get a lot of steady modeling work as a fitting model. You can earn several thousand a month just from Instagram and YouTube profits. Absolutely no one can take responsibility for everything materially and psychologically.

Although I have virtually no parents and did not graduate from college, I can make my girlfriends happy. I can now definitely keep the promise I made to my mother on my graduation day. Please allow our relationship, please.”

I said that and put my head down on the table.

“Phew… Yes, the lady lost. Seongjin, you won.”

“Mother…!”

“It’s been less than 4 years since you graduated, right? In the meantime, if you have lived a strong enough life to become independent, you will do anything. It means there is a sense of responsibility. In fact, during this time, Yumin heard from Yuri how hard you worked. Whenever we come home, the two of us talk about you a lot… Honey, you admit that, right?”

“Kuhm…”

Yuri’s mother took that as a positive and ultimately acknowledged my victory.

“When I talked to the kids, they kept saying that they were really happy being with you. You said you were living together, right? The kids say they’re happy, but no matter how much their mom tells them, they won’t listen… What can they do as parents? They say they are happy, so we should at least cheer them on. I also have the ability to do that. The lady won’t say anything about your relationship anymore.”

“You… Huh… Yes, my daughters are like that, so you put up with it… But if you make them even a little bit unhappy, then…”

“That will never happen. I swear with everything I have.”

My father closed his eyes tightly, tilted his head back, and sighed, and Yuri’s mother looked at me and her daughters with an expression that was half resigned and half proud.

After many discussions with Eunji’s parents in Manila, we succeeded in persuading them, and with this, we also persuaded Yuri’s parents, which was the last obstacle.

So now all that’s left is…

“Mom and Dad. Actually, I have something to confess.”

“?”

At Yuri’s words, the parents’ eyes turned to their second daughter.

“I… Actually, Seongjin is pregnant! It’s been 5 weeks now!”

“!!!!!”

In front of his shocked parents, Yuri continued to make bombshell declarations.

“And from now on, I’m going to start looking into marriage preparations with Seongjin! Of course, my sister and the other kids too!”
