“Gasp!”

Yuri gasped as if she couldn’t believe it.

“Why are you here?”

Jeho, bound to a chair with his eyes closed, lowered his head.

“Just wait a moment. I’ll wake him up soon.”

Minwoo cheerfully hummed a tune while opening the cap of the medicine bottle he held in his hand.

“Cough, cough.”

Approaching Jeho’s face with the bottle, Minwoo woke him up as he coughed. He opened his eyes with a pained expression, coughing and raising his head. Perhaps there was violence during the abduction; blood was flowing from one side of Jeho’s head.

To endure the desire to rush to Jeho, Yuri tightly gripped the edge of the bed. She shouldn’t show concern for Jeho in front of Minwoo.

“Are you awake? I told them to bring you here politely, but I’m not sure if these thugs followed the instructions. Sorry if they were rough. They tend to be a bit unruly because of their bad temper.”

“……Minwoo, you…”

Looking at Minwoo with an amazed expression, Jeho, who had been glaring as if he couldn’t believe it, discovered Yuri standing behind his younger cousin. Out of place for the situation, she was dressed in a wedding dress. Minwoo, too, was wearing a groom’s attire.

Without saying anything, Jeho, who had been silently observing the two, frowned as if he guessed what was happening.

“Sorry, loosen up a bit. Still, we invited my brother to our wedding because he’s family.”

“Huh, a wedding invitation.”

Jeho twisted his mouth as if scoffing. He had worried that Yuri might have been kidnapped by Minwoo, but he never imagined such a ludicrous event would unfold.

“Yeah. Yuri and I are going to have a soul wedding here.”

In high spirits, Minwoo didn’t notice Jeho’s disdain. Minwoo pulled Yuri forward so that Jeho could see her better and hugged her from behind.

“My brother is the only guest at our wedding. How about it? Isn’t it very moving?”

“Ha.”
Jeho responded with a snort instead of words. However, Minwoo shrugged indifferently, seemingly unconcerned, and Jeho’s hands and feet being bound didn’t diminish Minwoo’s confidence.

“Okay. Keep laughing. But soon, you’ll be at my mercy.”

“Why? Are you going to kill me?”

“Yeah. I’ll kill you.”

Minwoo nodded with a nonchalant expression. At the answer that he would kill Jeho, Yuri shuddered involuntarily. Then Minwoo, bringing his lips close to Yuri’s ear, whispered in a gentle tone.

“Don’t worry, Yuri. I won’t kill him right now. My brother has a debt to settle with me before he dies.”

“I have to repay a debt to you. Is this some kind of joke?”

“A joke? Seriously shameless. My brother touched my woman. I couldn’t even touch her because I valued her too much. Damn it, is this how I get repaid for sparing him?”

Minwoo stared at Jeho with a fierce look, as if ready to kill him at any moment. However, Jeho didn’t even blink.

“Okay, enjoy it from now on.”

Minwoo smirked at Jeho, ni
“Please don’t do this. What not to do? If you can’t have the heart, at least have the body. Is that such a bad thing?”

Minwoo attempted to kiss again, and Yuri twisted her body, resisting vehemently.

“Stay still. Otherwise, I’ll tie your hands and feet like my brother. Oh no, maybe I should hit my brother every time you resist.”

After finishing his words, Minwoo walked decisively and struck Jeho’s chest with his fist.

“Stop it!”

Yuri couldn’t endure everything else, but she couldn’t bear Minwoo hitting Jeho. She grabbed Minwoo’s arm and forcefully pulled him away from Jeho.

“Minwoo, please stop and let Mr. Jeho go. I have nothing with that man.”

“Oh, really?”

As if knowing it’s a blatant lie, Minwoo made a cynical expression. However, Yuri didn’t stop trying to persuade him.

“Mr. Jeho intentionally approached me from the beginning. How can I love a man like that?”

“Then what’s the problem? A man you don’t love, a man who doesn’t like you. Whether I hit him or kill him when you resist, what does it matter?”

“Minwoo, please.”

Her persuasion was in vain. Minwoo, pushing away Yuri clinging to him, returned to Jeho and slapped him on the cheek this time.

Smack!

With a loud sound, Jeho’s lips burst, and blood flowed.

“Yuri and I could have been fine. I was confident that I would treat Yuri well once we got married. But your kid ruined everything.”

“Enough. It’s getting boring.”

Jeho tilted his head, speaking.

“What?”

“It’s annoying to always blame others. It’s getting really annoying now.”

Jeho’s cold gaze landed on Minwoo’s face. Just staring, Minwoo tensed and became nervous. Realizing that his opponent was firmly bound, he clenched his fist again.

“Minwoo, I was wrong.”

To stop Minwoo, Yuri jumped into Minwoo’s arms like hugging him.

“I was wrong, so stop.”

Only then did a triumphant smile appear on Minwoo’s face. He lowered the hand he had raised and gently covered Yuri’s cheek. Then, he kissed her forcefully, as if tearing her lips apart.

“Ugh.”

At the moment their lips touched, it felt like she was going to vomit, but Yuri didn’t push Minwoo away. For Jeho’s sake, she had to accept it. After teasing Yuri for a while, Minwoo finally pulled away his lips, smiling contentedly.
