In the end, after losing the one-on-one match against my older brother, I truly had to sprinkle 500 chickens.
Sometimes I bought coffee for the company employees or event staff, but I had never sprinkled 500 chickens before, so my hands trembled when I was paying.
I never dreamed a day would come when I would burn ten million won on chicken.
“Marriage? Yeah, I need to find a partner too… Haha, this is tougher than it seems.”
【BlueBungieWooRuh】- Are your standards too high?
【White Forest】- If they’re not high, that’d be weirder, haha.
【Cro-Magnon】- Since he’s the vice president of Changseong Electronics, his standards are naturally high.
After splurging on chicken, the broadcast time was approaching, so light chitchat resumed. As the viewers grew closer to my brother, they comfortably threw out questions and made jokes.
Hearing that my brother was still single surprised the viewers, which was fun to watch.
Honestly, I was surprised when I first heard it too. My brother isn’t someone lacking in anything, after all.
I wondered if he was unable to find a partner due to his high standards, but listening to him, it didn’t seem that way. It seems he just has bad luck in finding someone.
“Ah, the video that was uploaded on YouTube? I saw it. I suggested my dad check it out, and he said it was fun. He wanted to tell my brother to film something similar next time…”
“Right. He contacted me and mentioned it.”
【HayingHoney】- Hahahaha.
【JeobiChuriSal】- Even the president and vice president of Changseong Electronics watch that internet channel, wow.
【LegoSwallowedPigeon】- Seems the president has a broad mind.
My father-in-law certainly does have a broad mind. It’s clear that someone in that position needs to have a multifaceted perspective, and he’s taught me that through experience.
Sometimes, while chatting, I often think, “Wow, his perspective is quite diverse.”
Transitioning from talking about my father-in-law, we accidentally dove into family stories, revealing some quite new tales.
For instance, my wife wanted to study abroad when she was young, but her father discouraged her from going because he was worried about sending her so far away.
Stories of my brother being quite a troublemaker in his childhood, which drove my father-in-law and mother-in-law crazy, also came up.
While sharing these hidden stories I wasn’t even aware of with the viewers, suddenly, a familiar nickname popped up with a donation.
【‘1st Cosmo Must Protect’ donated 100,000 won.】
– The guy on the left is super cute, haha. Is the guy on the right helping you?
“Honey…!?”
【Bera666】- Hahahahahahaha.
【TargetingBee】- Ambush kill, haha.
【LemonTanghulu】- Seo-ha.
【MeatCurry】- What’s with the older sister ambush, haha.
It was none other than my wife who sent that sponsorship message, and the content was quite malicious, making me widen my eyes and sneak a glance at my brother seated next to me.
Amidst that, the viewers enjoyed it, calling it a sibling rivalry in reality, while I felt a bit uneasy.
“Ah, is that Seo-ha’s ID?”
“Yes, yes… brother.”
My brother might not watch my streams frequently and came to realize that it was his sister’s ID a bit late; his eyes widened for a moment before he figured it out, looking at me in disbelief.
“Geez, how can you not grow up even after becoming an adult? You’re not in elementary school anymore.”
【1st Cosmo Must Protect】- You don’t know anything, brother.
【1st Cosmo Must Protect】- I’m mature now.
【1st Cosmo Must Protect】- It’s you who hasn’t matured.
“Yep, reflection.”
Meanwhile, our Mrs. unfazed, launched a counterattack without a blink, and though it’s awkward to say this, it was almost like a childish argument.
Is this really a fight between the eldest son and youngest daughter of the Cheongseong family? My chest feels tightened…
【tws2425】- What era is this reflection from, haha.
【SeafoodSauce】- Why is it so childish, haha.
【BINGO】- My sister and I don’t argue like this, haha.
As the viewers watched, some were bewildered, while others enjoyed the reality of sibling arguments that were no different from other families.
Why does the embarrassment always fall on me?
“Is your brother having a tough time? Living with that brat?”
“Ah, no, brother.”
【Moscos】- Hahahahaha.
【CrispyRiceBottom】- If you answer wrong, you’re done, haha.
【Lucid Dream 7】- Unexpected cliffhanger quiz show, haha.
I know, right? Why am I participating in this sudden cliffhanger quiz show?
“Well, in front of my brother-in-law, you’re so good at feigning innocence that you might not realize.”
【1st Cosmo Must Protect】- When did I act innocent? Meh.
【1st Cosmo Must Protect】- Don’t feed Uju strange knowledge.
【1st Cosmo Must Protect】- Before crashing the broadcast.
If only they hadn’t brought knives, the atmosphere would be intense. If I accidentally lean towards one side during this conversation, what kind of disaster might unfold?
“So that’s how it is? I’ll have to reveal what you secretly consulted with before marriage to the viewers and my brother-in-law.”
“Eh? N-no, brother…!?”
【Cro-Magnon】- Ohhhh.
【Joo-haLoveTeam】- What on earth is it? Hahahahaha.
【Potato Ring】- Are we getting in trouble too? Haha.
【White Whale】- Seo-ha is nice, so she’ll let it slide.
Amidst the tense standoff, when my brother coldly made that remark, my emotions clashed with the viewers’.
I felt anxious, wondering what kind of bomb he was going to drop, while the viewers buzzed in excitement, thinking, “Is something big coming?”
“Brother-in-law, listen carefully. To be honest, she asked me something before getting married…”
“…gulp.”
As if it were a blockbuster movie trailer, I found myself unconsciously swallowing hard.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As if there was an earthquake, the vibrations coming through the perfect soundproof system of my workspace had my eyes wide in fear, and without realizing it, I looked toward the door.
Creak!
“Oppaaa!”
My wife burst into the room with a glint in her eye that seemed to signal a demon’s arrival.
“Hey, hey…! Can’t you see we’re live!?”
“Forget that, come out! Everyone, I’m sorry for my brother causing trouble!”
【Passing App Dungi】- Hahahahahaha.
【Moon Octopus Sukhwa】- I wanted to hear more, but it’s over…
【I’m Telling The Teacher】- Older sister! Brother, don’t take him away yet!
She then energetically tapped my brother’s arm while dragging him out the door as if taking him to the police station, as if there would be no objection.
The viewers lamented that they didn’t get to hear the hidden story, raising a commotion, but…
【‘Kokkiyaho’ donated 1,000 cheese!】
– Think carefully, kids… If brother-in-law leaves today, we have to be under the watch of our older sister…
【FlowerThatFellSuddenly】- Wow.
【Octopus Sukhwa】- What the heck.
【PleaseBePositive】- Are you a genius?
With a wise viewer’s donation message, all complaints were suddenly silenced.
True, it’s more frightening to fall out of favor with my wife than to be on bad terms with me. After all, she’s the real deal in this broadcast.
Anyway, the stream unexpectedly came to an end.
Since we had shared just about everything, no one seemed that disappointed.
*
That night.
After receiving a thorough scolding from my wife, my brother ate his late-night snack while grumbling and then went to the guest room to fall asleep quickly. It seemed he got tired early because of the broadcast.
“Honey, I’m sorry. Because of me and brother…”
“It’s okay. It was about time to end, and I actually enjoyed it because of my brother.”
After putting the kids to bed, we found ourselves with a moment alone, intending to enjoy some wine and chat when my wife offered an apology.
Of course, it was somewhat an accident during the broadcast, but since the viewers were entertained, I didn’t think it was a problem. If anything, there was a sitcom-like fun to it.
However, one thing bothered me…
“What’s this about consulting my brother? Can’t you just give me a hint?”
That behind-the-scenes story between my brother and wife would remain undisclosed. If I hadn’t heard anything at all, it would’ve been fine, but ending abruptly left me unsatisfied.
“Do you really want to know that badly? I’m embarrassed to say…”
“I won’t tell anyone. Just to me, okay?”
“Ugh, I really don’t want to tell you.”
I poked her arm gently, insisting while trying to negotiate, but she seemed firm in her resolve.
Seeing her keep her silence only fueled my curiosity.
“Sister, just once, please.”
“That’s so petty…! Why only call me sister now…?”
“This is the only time to use it.”
So, I lowered my pride as a man and resurrected that long-lost title with a desperate request. Then slowly, I sensed her guard starting to down.
“Alright. But you have to really keep it a secret, okay? Don’t mention it on broadcasts or anything.”
“Of course not.”
While I might not be the friendliest person, I would never use my wife as a joke in my streams. Sometimes I blend in light anecdotes from daily life, but that’s about it.
Nodding confidently, I watched as my hesitant wife fidgeted with her hands placed on her thighs, and after a while, she opened her mouth.
“The thing is… it’s about preferences…”
“…Preferences?”
“I asked him about what outfits, behaviors, or lines men like… how to flirt with you because I wanted to know.”
“…….”
The answer that came out was certainly unexpected.
No wonder, before marriage, my impression of my wife had always been of a reliable and virtually perfect sisterly figure.
To hear that she sought advice from my brother while bowing her pride… truly surprising.
Oh, now that I think about it, it suddenly rang a bell…
“…Was that why you were wearing my dress shirt when we went to our villa?”
“I-I don’t know…!”
When I asked out of a faint suspicion, my wife turned her head sharply, completely hiding her face.
So that was her intention all along.
Wow, my lady. You’re smarter than I thought.
