“I haven’t set up a formal meal, but please help yourselves.”
“Is it because there’s not much prepared?”
Putting octopus, shrimp, scallops, and abalone in a hot pot and even adding kimchi?
There you go!
Suppressing the squirming yellowtail with a stern look, Hyojin skillfully picked up the plump octopus with tongs and cut it into bite-sized pieces with scissors.
“Please enjoy. My grandmother is a real master at making broth.”
Dipping cabbage leaves, crown daisy, and mushrooms into a special sauce mixed with chili peppers, Kyo-hwan let out an involuntary sigh as he tasted it.
“Mm, it’s really delicious.”
The beef bone soup he had last time at his father’s house was also delicious. The mild and non-irritating broth flavor was outstanding.
“Would you say it’s not delicious? It’s food made by my grandmother.”

Thump. Placing chopsticks on the table with a sound, Hyojin rolled her lips, asking, “Bonghwang-sae, what’s wrong with you?”
“What did I do?”
Raising his voice even more, Hwang-sae, who was squinting, turned his head to look at Kyo-hwan as if he couldn’t understand.
“Where does my sister like?”
Ever since she became a teacher when her temper got worse.
“I wonder. The reason I love my sister is… It’s even more difficult to find a reason why I can’t love my sister.”
“Ha.”
Not a poet or anything.
The plump Hwang-sae shivered.
“Shall I try to guess? Why you like your sister?”

It’s because.
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Hwang-sae, who stared at Hyojin with a penetrating gaze, smashed the table, making a loud noise.
“Because it’s easy.”
Just do everything I ask. If you want to stop, stop, and if you want to come back, come back. This is without pride. Without money. I only need love.
“Is that it? Because she seems like an easy woman.”
Ugh, Hyojin, who couldn’t refute in front of Kyo-hwan, clenched her fist.
“Bonghwang-sae, you keep saying that.”
“What did I do?”
Raising his voice even more, Hwang-sae, who was squinting, turned his head to look at Kyo-hwan as if he couldn’t understand.
“I never thought my sister was easy. On the contrary, she seems like the most difficult person.”

Oh, really? Surprised, Kyo-hwan blinked at Hyojin as if she were unexpected.
“I. I’ve never said a word to the teacher until now.”
Indeed. Even when dating, always teacher. Teacher. I always used honorifics.
“Well, do you think it’s difficult for me too?”
“……!”
“Since I’ve seen you at work, you always use honorifics to your employees, right?”
Ha. Kyo-hwan was truly amazed.
He acted as the breadwinner when he bought a car. But now, can he change so much after being put on hold due to his grandmother’s objection?
“So, the reason I came to see you is because CEO Choi Kyohwan’s position is still vacant.”
Junior Prosecutor Lee Sungmin, revealing his true intentions with a hunched shoulder, looked directly at Kyo-hwan.

“Please entrust the position of CEO of Choi Kyohwan’s business division to me. That’s the reason I’ve come all the way here to tell you this.”
Hwang-sae pointed alternately at Kyo-hwan and Hyojin as if launching a counterattack.
“How long will you keep calling him ‘Father’ and me ‘Teacher’? It’s not like we’re secretly dating or having an affair between a customer and a teacher.”
Ha, Kyo-hwan chuckled.
“Aren’t you a customer and a mother?”
“Parody. Don’t you get it? Because you take every ad-lib seriously, you look even older.”
Already eight years older than his sister.
“Bonghwang-sae, I told you not to talk about age, right?”
Seeing Kyo-hwan’s thick eyebrows twitch, Hyojin clenched her teeth.
“What did I say wrong? People have so many affectionate nicknames for their loved ones. Why do you have to call him ‘Father’ and me ‘Teacher’? Anyone would think it’s an affair. And on top of that, I’m eight years older than him.”
Damn, enough with the age talk!

“Then, what should I call my sister?”
As if suggesting an alternative, Kyo-hwan countered, pressing his temple with his hand as if to restrain his pounding headache.
“If it’s so uncomfortable, I hope my brother-in-law offers an opinion.”
“Do I have to teach you that too? The parties involved should figure it out. Do you expect me to want you to call me ‘Oppa’?”
Provoked by Hwang-sae, Kyo-hwan, who had been suppressing his temple with his hand, lowered it and furrowed his forehead.
“Oppa?”
Even if he’s handsome, everyone calls him Oppa.
“The word I hate the most in the world is ‘Oppa.'”
I’d rather have him call me ‘Father.’
“Me too. ‘Oppa.’ It gives me the creeps. Look at this. Goosebumps on Father’s arm!”

Hyojin showed Hwang-sae the arm of Kyo-hwan, who had goosebumps.
“Then, should I call my brother-in-law something else?”
At the sudden suggestion from Sun-hye, Hyojin almost spilled the water she was bringing to her mouth.
“Grandmother!”
This is not the Joseon era.
“What’s wrong with calling a husband ‘brother-in-law’? It’s much better than calling him ‘Father!'”
As Sun-hye rebuked, Hyojin couldn’t say anything, and she clenched her fist, applying force to the hand that held the glass.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
