Eliza's POV-

Woah.
So that happened.

Right now we all were walking back to the house. I was carrying Jameson while Vincent was carrying Lily. We had five people behind us. Vincent's brothers, Martha, Joe and the photographer who couldn't seem to leave us alone.

"Where exactly are we going?" I asked.

"In the dining room." Vincent said.

I nodded.

"My appa got married. Eliza and Appa got married." Lily was chanting this for the past five minutes.

Atleast someone was happy because of this marriage.

We reached the dining room. I kept Jameson on his high chair. He was busy chewing on his teether.

"Eliza, could come here?" Vincent said.

"Yeah." I replied. I made sure Jameson was safely seated. The I went to Vincent. Miles and him were standing with two other men. 

"Eliza meet my brothers. This is Hyung Jun you can call him Roman." 

Everyone knew who Roman Chae was. He was one of the biggest hearthrobs of Hollywood. He gave me a polite smile. He was wearing a loose shirt and white pants.

I bowed a little out of habit and greeted "Annyeong haseyo." While trying not to fan girl over him.

"Annyeong hasimnikka." He greeted.

"This Young Min you can call him Archer." Vincent pointed at the man wearing a suit.His aura was similar to Vincent's.

All four brothers are famous and successful. Two CEOs, one author and an actor.

"Annyeong haseyo." I bowed again. 

He just nodded. 

Okay. Rude. 

Miles put hand on the back of his head and pushed him down to make him bow. 

"I'm sorry my younger brother's lack of etiquettes. Greet your sister in law properly, Young Min." Miles said. 

"Mannaseo bangapseumnida." Archer said. Then Miles let go off him. Archer glared at him.

"She doesn't speak much korean so stick to english." Vincent said.

Right, he didn't know the truth. 

"Eliza!" Lily screamed my name. 

"Yeah?" I went to her. 

"I don't want to eat this." She said pointing at her veggies. 

"Then what do you want?" I asked.

"Something yummy, please." She said.

"What about Bibimbap and Dakgangjeong?" I asked.

"I don't know what that is." She shrugged.

"Well, Dakgangjeong is a deep-fried crispy chicken dish in a sticky, sweet, and spicy sauce. And Bibimbap is rice with beef and vegetables mixed in gochujang sauce." I told her. 

"That sounds so good. Can watch you make it? Please please please." She pleaded. 

"Sure. But let me change first," I said.

"Why? You look like a princess in this." She whined.

"What if food gets spilled on it?" I asked.

"That would look so bad." She said.

"I know, right? No princess has food stains on her clothes. So I'll go and change until then finish your veggies." I pointed at her plate.

"But-" She pouted.

"Chae Ye Eun," I warned her. 

"Fine. " She huffed. 

I went upto my room and changed into normal clothes. Then I looked at myself in the mirror. My life has changed now. I am married. 

I went down to the kitchen and started cooking. Lily sat on the counter behind and kept asking weird questions.

Do Hyeok's POV-

"What's wrong with you?" Miles asked Archer as soon as Eliza left.

"I don't know what you are implying." Archer shrugged.

"You very well know what I mean. Why the hell were you so rude to her?" He asked.

"I wasn't rude and why do you care if I am rude to her?" Archer asked.

"Because if she decides to leave we'll loose both Yu Eun and Ye On. Be careful how you speak to her." Miles crossed his arms.

Archer fell silent on that. 

"Guys, let's not fight right now." Roman said.

"I'll go and change out of this." I said.

I went to my bedroom. The wedding rings were still in my pocket. I looked at them and wondered how the hell did I even end up here?

After changing my clothes and freshening up I went to my office to complete some work. When I reached the dining room no one was there. Then I heard voices coming from the kitchen. When I went there I everyone in the house including Joe there. 

Miles and Yu Eun were sitting cross legged on the counter hunched down and stuffing their mouths like they had been starving for ages. Roman was sitting by the sink while devouring his food. The same was with Joe. Only Archer looked like a decent human silently eating his food.

"Seriously, how do you cook so good? What kind of magic power do you have?" Roman said with his mouth full.

"My parents are trained chefs. Cooking is in my blood." Eliza said. She was busy cooking something. Everyone there was eating what looked like Dakgangjeong. I leaned on the door frame of the kitchen. Everyone was so busy eating that they did not even notice me.

"I am in love with this!" Miles practically moaned. 

"Thank you. Umm, Archer did you not like it?" Eliza asked Archer who was standing in a corner silently eating from his plate.

"What? No." Archer said.

"You did not like it?" Eliza's voice fell.

"Well, I can eat his share." Roman tried to take away Archer's plate.

"Touch my food and see what happens." Archer swatted his hand away. 

"Is that how you talk with your older brother?" Roman gasped.

"Yes. Now back off." Archer said. Then he turned to Eliza and said "I love this. It is perfect." 

Eliza gave him a full blown smile. That's when I cleared my throat and made my presence known.

"Do Hyeok you have go to try this Dakgangjeong." Miles said.

"It looks like there is nothing left for me to try." I pointed out.

"Don't worry I have saved some." Eliza said.

She opened a pan and served some of the saucy chicken in a plate for me. I went ahead to grab it. When I glanced at the pan it was empty.

"What about you?" I questioned.

"Ahh, don't worry about me. I'll have something else." She waved her hand.

"No, you will not. You can eat my food." I offered.

"Seriously, I'm fine. I'm making Bibimbap too, I'll eat some of that." She pointed at the pot of rice in front of her.

"Eliza," I said in a warning tone.

"Yes, Vincent." She said back in a challenging tone.

"You are eating this." I pointed at my plate.

"No, I'm n-" Her sentence was cut short by me shoving a piece of chicken in her mouth.

"Enjoy."  I said to her cockily. She narrowed her eyes at me and suddenly hit me with her wooden spatula. I looked at her shocked. She grinned back and shoved a piece of  Dakgangjeong in my mouth. 

Before I could react the taste of the chicken hit my tastebuds and I melted. The sauce was perfectly sweet and tangy and the chicken was tender enough to easily fall apart in my mouth. These people weren't joking when they praised her cooking. I started eating the Dakgangjeong like I was having it for the first time. In between I put some of the chicken in Eliza's mouth too. 

"Whose finished eating their Dakgangjeong?" Eliza questioned.

"I am." Miles said.

"Could you please grad some rice bowls from the upper cabinet?" She asked.

"Sure. How many do we need?" Miles opened the wooden cabinet.

"Seven." Eliza answered.

Miles placed them on the counter beside Eliza. 

"Do you need any help?" He asked.

"Do you know how to assemble Bibimbap?" Eliza turned to him.

"Yeah." He said.

"Then you start with that until then I'll fry some eggs." Eliza said.

"Yes ma'am." Miles mock saluted.

Eliza laughed. 

They both were awfully close without knowing each other even for a full day. 

Why are you getting worked up about it? My conscious questioned.

I am not getting worked up, I was find this a little weird that's all.

For the first time since I moved into this house something about it changed. It started feeling more like a home rather than a house if you know what I mean. That day everybody had lunch in the kitchen. Miles and Yu Eun sat on the counter while the rest of us sat on the kitchen floor.
