When Min Jae's eyes landed on the guy standing in between the two girls, he couldn't help but get jealous. After all, who wouldn't be jealous when they see their brother clinging to the one whom they love. Lee Yo Han and Lee Min Jae were brothers. Although, they were step-siblings, they had a good brotherly bond in between them.
Min Jae's mother was the actual wife of Lee Kang Su while Lee Yo Han's mother was a mistress.
Nevertheless, Lee Kang Su gave fair treatment to both the ladies. So, they lived as a happy family with no family fights or whatever. Now that when he saw Lee Yo Han standing between Yu Qi and her friend, he couldn't help it. It was making him feel jealous.
He couldn't even show that he was jealous, otherwise he knew that she would feel bad.
Yu Qi looked here and there to find something to distract him. And then she remembered what her mother said while cooking. She had said that they would be staying over here for the night. So, she asked him "Are we gonna stay for tonight??" She looked at him and there was no reaction on his face. With a saddened face, she didn't say anything and waited for his answer.
Looking at her saddened face, Min Jae couldn't resist it. He actually wanted to go back home after letting her stay for a while and, right now, when he saw her face, he couldn't help but agree.
He gave a nod and kept the photo back on the table.
"Really??" Yu Qi asked excitedly. The saddened face which she had before was now gone away. A happy smile crept on her face as she asked more joyfully with excitement.
"Mmhmm." Min Jae didn't say much and just walked over the bed. Sitting on the single bed, the corners of his lips slightly curved upwards. "This bed is comfy." He said while bouncing again and again on the single bed.
"It is, right??" Yu Qi reached over him and stood in front of him. She kept her hands behind her back and looked at the man bouncing on the bed.
"Yeah!!" He bounced once more and looked at her with a teasing smile. "It will be more fun with you." Min Jae winked at her.
Yu Qi felt her cheeks turn red with his words. Surely, she had understood what this man had meant. She crossed her fingers and hoped that she wouldn't need to see his teasing smile. It was killing her. And fortunately, her prayers were answered.
A knock came on the door and Yu Qi hurriedly went to open the door. It was her brother standing outside.
"Unni, dinner is ready!! Mom is calling." Min Chul looked behind his sister and said "Brother-in-law, please come. The dinner is served."
Within a seconds, his manners had changed. Yu Qi scoffed at her brother's polite manners. 'He changes so fast. Hmmph!!'
After saying that, he walked away.
Min Jae got up from his bed and walked to where Yu Qi was standing. Catching her hand, he took her out of the room. "Let's go!!" Yu Qi bewilderingly looked at her hand being held by Min Jae's hand. It was actually really shocking.
But what was more shocking were here parents looks. They didn't had any looks of shock on their faces, rather they had huge smiles on them.
Bowing at them, he pulled out the chair for Yu Qi and made her sit. Yu Qi sat beside her mother while Min Jae sat beside Yu Qi's father. Min Chul sat beside Min Jae.
They all sat in a way that the couples sat opposite to one another. Mr. Song and Mrs. Song sat facing one another and Min Jae and Yu Qi sat facing one another. Whereas, Min Chul had an empty chair in front of him.
Looking at the empty chair, Min Chul sighed. 'When will someone sit in front of me??'
Different varieties of food were placed on the dining table. From starters to desserts, everything was neatly plated and kept. Without any further delay, everyone started eating the food. Mrs. Song felt proud of her cooking as Min Jae praised her cooking skills.
Yu Qi's mother's cooking skills were actually praiseworthy. Her cooking skills were well-known by the neighbors and her relatives. Mrs. Song was often praised for her wonderful and mouth watering dishes.
After having their food, Yu Qi started to take the plates into the kitchen when her father stopped her. "Why are you doing it?? Your brother is there to do. Go and take a walk with Min Jae in the garden."
"It's okay, Dad. It's just a few plates. Mom needs help." Yu Qi replied and kept the plates in the sink.
"Your brother sits freely every time. You should give him some work too." Mr. Song angrily looked at Min Chul who sat playing in his phone. After keeping the plates, Yu Qi came and ruffled her brother's hair. "It's okay, Dad. He is still small."
Min Chul smiled at his sister's compliment and continued playing his game. Min Jae who sat on the sofa, looked at his wife ruffling her brother's hair. He smiled at her. 'She cares for everyone.' After getting rejected by their daughter again and again, Mr. Song and Mrs. Song both went inside their room.
Min Chul also went back to his room. Now, it was only Yu Qi and Min Jae left in the living room. While Yu Qi was in the kitchen cleaning the plates, Min Jae sat at the sofa looking at her back.
The sink of the kitchen was just opposite the entrance of the kitchen, so a person seated on the sofa in the living room was able to see towards the sink. Min Jae evilly grinned as his eyes fell on her back. Indeed, some dirty thoughts ran through his mind.
Yu Qi was feeling shy to take him to the garden all by herself. Already, she was half killed by that teasing smile of his in the room, she didn't wanted to be killed by his smile again.
Therefore, she was taking all her time to clean the dishes.
Just as she was doing, her mother came from behind her and hit on her elbow. "You idiot!! What are you doing??" She asked angrily.
"I'm washing the dishes, mom. You don't need to hit me that hard." Yu Qi innocently said and rubbed her elbow on her body..
After washing the last plate, she took a dry cloth and started wiping the plates. As she was wiping the first plate, her mother pulled her to the side and again hit her on her head. "You fool!! Why are you doing this work?? You came to visit me, not help me."
Taking the plate from her hand, she snatched the dry cloth and threw it on the table. "That's it. No more cleaning. Now go back to Son-in-law!!"
Turning her around, she pushed her daughter out of the kitchen. "But, mom. Let me just dry..."
"Go now!!" Her mother said with an angry glare.
