His Mother Was Now No More

Min Jae grinned from ear to ear as he noticed his wife's killing aegyo. Seeing her from the side, he felt her to be too cute. If he was alone with her right now, he would have eaten her as a whole. Rather than those delicious and good looking dishes, he wished that he could eat her. She was ultimately too cute for him to resist.

He fanned himself and hid his red flushed cheeks with his hands. He could feel that his ears and neck were turning red.

"Good Morning, Brother-in-law." Min Chul came from behind Lee Min Jae.

Petrified, Min Jae turned around and saw Min Chul coming towards him. Min Chul bowed at him and he bowed him back.

"Why is your face red, brother-in-law??" Min Chul asked as he observed Min Jae's red face.

And the time the voices reached Yu Qi's ear, the chicken sandwich which was going in her mouth fell down on the plate. With her mouth stuffed, she turned around and saw Min Jae and her brother talking.

From the conversation, she started having various thoughts.

'Did he see me?? Did he actually see me acting cute in front of mother?? Or, did he actually see me hogging up all the food?? What if he was noticing me from the start?? Ahhh!! I'm so done. Why does it happen with me only??' She annoyingly stomped her feet and just focused on their conversation.

Min Chul got worried after seeing Min Jae's red face. He touched his forehead "Do you have a fever, brother-in-law??" He asked out of worry.

Min Jae shook his head and turned behind. He knew that she was hearing the conversation after all they just stood near the kitchen entrance. He saw her averting her gaze sideways as their eyes met. He smiled and said "Nothing!! Nothing at all!! It's just I saw 'Something Cute' at this moment." He emphasized more on the words 'Something Cute' such that the message reached clearly to Yu Qi's eyes.

The moment she heard it. DANG!! O_O 'I'm ruined!!' She cried internally and threw angry daggers at Min Jae's back. 'He will tease me more now!!!' She now imagined the consequences with this guy after going back home.

Min Chul didn't understand what his brother-in-law meant. Because he didn't witness his brother-in-law looking at his sister's aegyo. "Okay!! Let's go and sit at the dining table. The breakfast is almost ready." He took him away from the kitchen to the living room where the dining table was kept.

Yu Qi sighed as she saw him leave. She inwardly complimented her brother and set it as a reminder to give her brother a gift later for rescuing his only sister. She continued eating as if nothing happened and after finishing her plate, she wiped her mouth. She kissed her mother's cheek and proceeded to leave.

When she heard her mother say to keep the dishes on the table, she was flabbergasted. Her mother raised an eyebrow at her and she quickly obeyed. She took the dishes one by one and kept on the table. Her Dad, her brother and her husband were already seated at the table.

With a smile, she kept the dishes and walked back when she heard her dad speak "You both wore same colors!!"

As Yu Qi was to turn around and look at what Min Jae had worn, her mother came from behind. "Yeah!! That is what I thought too. Aigoo!! You both look so adorable!!"

To be honest, due to the fuss caused earlier, Yu Qi barely noticed Min Jae's clothes. Why?? Because her mind was only filled with his words 'Someone Cute' and the consequences after reaching home with him.

Her Mother gave her another dish and she turned around to keep it. At that time, she noticed him wearing a blue polo shirt, it was the same color as her skirt. 'Great!!' She huffed and looked at him grinning with his head lowered.

After having their food, everyone sat in the living room to watch a movie. Yu Qi and Min Jae also sat along when Min Jae got a call and he went out.

5 minutes, he didn't come back. Yu Qi turned behind to look. He wasn't there. Another 5 minutes and he still wasn't there. "Go and spend some time with him in the lawn." Mr. Song told to Yu Qi.

"Okay." Yu Qi gave a nod and got outside to the lawn.

In the lawn, there was a huge tree under which a bench was kept. Yu Qi spotted Min Jae being seated on the bench. He was looking at the grass ahead of him with an unreadable expression.

Yu Qi went and sat beside him. "Is the grass good??" She laughed at her question. Sitting beside him, she felt the atmosphere turn dark. Thus, she decided to lighten up the mood by asking a silly question.

"I don't know." Came a reply from Min Jae. He didn't laugh like her, but he just smiled for a second.

"Hmm!!" Yu Qi just hummed. And looked down. She saw her blue skirt and it reminded her of the incident which happened one to two hours before.

"You could have at least told me that you were wearing blue." Yu Qi told with a pouted face.

"Your dad gave me this shirt and pant." Min Jae said monotonously.

"Really??" Yu Qi asked. Her voice held excitement as she spoke. Min Jae gave a nod.

As she felt that she was pressurizing him a lot, she got up to leave when he held her hand.

"Please, don't go!!" Min Jae looked up at her and that's when she noticed his tearful eyes. She immediately sat down beside him and hugged him. "It's okay!! I won't go." She just said sweet nothings to him while tapping lightly on his back. And that deed, calmed Min Jae.

Few minutes later, he said the reason for crying. "My mother is no more!!"
