"It was a prank..." Yoo Shiro knew that he had been caught and if he dared to confess that he meant to drive a wedge between them then he would be beaten more brutally. Already his body was burning in places..his head ached from being pulled and hit multiple times..And now this woman was ready to put a hole in him..
Yoo Shiro felt like banging his head on the floor.Having heard his answer,Xie Eun snorted and said,"Do you really take me for a fool? You did such an elaborate set up just to prank me? Let me tell you,if you think I am unable to pull this trigger then you are mistaken. I am a very good hunter and a little human blood will not deter me. Yes it will be a mess to clean up this place later on,since all your brains will be splattered here but I think I will manage..So for the last time,where is my husband?"
Yoo Shiro felt faint when he heard her describe the gory details and this time shouted,"Sister in law!!It was just a prank!Please believe me!I am your husband's twin! He is my long lost brother.."
(Author:Sister in law?Yoo Shiro,you two faced jerk! Yoo Shiro: Ha!You are responsible for this author!You are being two faced..How can you make the second lead so battered? Author: "Who told you that you are the second lead?")
This time Xie Eun paused thoughtfully.. She wondered if this was another ploy..She looked carefully at the man.He really did look like her husband if you disregard the disgusting look right now on his face.....
She moved back a bit and keeping the gun pointed at him pulled a chair and sat down,gesturing him to stand up as well..Slowly,Yoo Shiro winced as he stood up and the smell of the all the food assaulted his nose making him almost stop breathing.
Once he was seated,Xie Eun cocked her head and asked,"So if I get this straight,you claim that you are my husband's twin brother and are here to prank me?Is that correct?"
Yoo Shiro nodded his head slowly as he thought of a way to get the gun out of her hands..Her smile widening as his eyes flickered,Xie Eun pressed the trigger,scaring him to death..It was only after the gun simply clicked and did not shoot did he realize that it was out of shells..When he looked at Xie Eun in astonishment she smiled and said,"Don't worry,the next compartment is not empty!But you need to keep your eyes straight.Don't think it is going to be easy for you to snatch the gun from me. The moment you make any sudden movement,I will shoot first and ask questions later.So where is my husband?He would never let anyone play such an awful prank on me.He has a better sense of humor.So you have definitely done something to hold him back.."
Yoo Shiro thought back to how his brother was comfortable enjoying himself with their grandfather and the present state he was in and groaned in agony.. He should have just instigated Yu Seok and then he would have dealt with this vixen..
While Yoo Shiro sulked,the old man was laughing heartily and so amused, even clapped his hands like a child..He then slapped Yu Seok on the back and said,"Very good!You really chose a good wife!Good blood and strong stock.She will give birth to strong and intelligent little great grandchildren!And she will even keep your brother in line!" Yu Seok rolled his eyes inwardly as he heard him almost compare his wife to cattle and then at the screen. He did not bother to point out his grandfather's mistake because he himself was very pleased..His wife recognized him and his brother apart!He had seen his brother closely and they were totally identical.. But she had been able to tell them apart so soon so naturally that meant that she was not unaware of him.She had taken note of his little habits and actions..Seeing that his brother had not crossed another line and tried to harm her physically,Yu Seok got up from his chair and bid a farewell to the elder,promising him to arrange a formal meeting soon.
Elder Yoo glanced at the screen where his Daughter in law still pointed the gun at the brat and smiled contentedly..Atleast the brat had some sense and did not try to use his combat training against her. Because even if she was good,if Yoo Shiro had attacked her then she would have lost but maybe hurt herself in the process of defending herself...And if she had been harmed,Yu Seok would have killed Yoo Shiro and fed him to the tigers..
Yoo Shiro finally thought himself through and said,"He is with or grandfather. He doesn't know that I am here.Look,let me go and he will come back sooner and explain everything to you.."
But when Yoo Shiro would have left his seat,Xie Eun shook her head and said,"Uh huh..even if I believe you that you are his twin,I don't understand your prank..You could have pretended to be him under normal circumstances and that would be a prank. Why try to use this as a prank..Mister Clone..Why are you trying to drive a wedge between me and Yu Seok?"
Clone? Did she just call him a clone.Angered,Yoo Shiro shouted,"I am his twin not a clone!My name Is Yoo Shiro! Do you understand?"
Nodding sagely,Xie Eun stated,"Alright,Mr Clown?You still have not answered my question,why did you set up today's scheme?And don't tell me all this is a coincidence!I think that Si Jing's appearance also has something to do with you!"
This time,Yoo Shiro was not able to hide his disdain but he said nothing. He was not going to sit in front and answer these questions any longer..But unexpectedly Xie Eun announced,"You don't like me!You think I am not worthy of your brother?Isn't that right,Yoo Shiro? So decided to strike and create problems before Yu Seok could tell me of your existence,because once I knew then you would be unable to fool me.."
Yoo Shiro felt his eyebrows raise to his hairline as he heard her unexpected but accurate evaluation..He thought for a while and answered,"You are absolutely right.I don't like you.I have found my brother after so many years but I find that you are attached to him like a leech. I don't like it. He is smart and successful while you are nothing but a clumsy and cunning girl!"He glanced at the still expression of Xie Eun when she did not answer and thus he felt that she too was aware of her own shortcomings and said,"So,since you at least have self awareness, we can let go of this ruse and you can consider divor.."
Before Yoo Shiro could complete his sentence,Xie Eun stood up,grabbed a big palm sized dumpling from the plate on the floor and stuffed it into his mouth unceremoniously..causing his eyes to widen..She then locked the safety of the gun,pointed the barrel at his head and said,"I may or may not be worthy of him!But there is one quality that you are not aware of and that is that I am pretty unreasonable when it comes to those I care about!A prime example being Si Jing when I thought that I liked him..But your brother..I lo.." No,she wouldn't confess her love for Yu Seok to this scumbag first and so she continued,"And I have more feelings for your brother than that Si Jing..So if you think that I am going to take your dumb suggestion then you are dreaming! And if you try to utter such nonsense again,I will stuff some soap in your mouth instead of something edible!!"
It was only as she finished speaking did her glance fall on the figure at the door!Yu Seok!She wondered how long he stood there and then even panicked that he would not like her threatening his brother but then their eyes met and when she saw the normal and ever present loving expression there,her unsettled heart slowly settled back in place. Her attitude taking a 180 degree turn from a minute ago,she threw him a wide smile and said,"Yu Seok! You are home! Look we have a guest here! I have welcomed him well but he is even more clumsy than I am.See what he has done to out home?.So can you please ask him to clean up after himself?Until then I'll be in the kitchen,warming up the food that you made for me.."
She actually wanted to run to Yu Seok and hug him but felt unsettled doing so in front of the Clown Clone so she just went into the kitchen leaving the two brothers alone...
