Taming my Husbands in Another world

Chapter 25: [Volume 1] Chapter 25 - Kiss?



After the discussion, Jiho picked up the basket and walked toward the well; in the process, she also grabbed a kitchen knife. Seeing her with the knife, the Su brothers became curious about the basket and started secretly watching her. When Jiho was cutting the ropes around the basket, she suddenly felt being stared at. Jiho looked back and found some curious cats peeking. With a little smile, she looked at Ji-hoon.

"Ji-er, can you get me some baskets and big bowls?"

Ji-hoon, whose face turned red after being caught, nodded a little and walked toward the kitchen. Joon-su signaled to his younger brother to follow ji -hoon. Soon, Kyung-su also followed. After a while, they came back one after another. Kyung-ho put down a large and small bowl.

"Thanks, Kyung-ho," getting thanks from Jiho, Kyung-ho's face became a little red. He nodded and smiled as he walked back to his position. Soon, Ji-hoon placed some baskets.

"This basket..." Jiho looked at the neatly made basket, recalling that there were only old and broken baskets in the house.

'Is she angry?' Seeing her reaction, Ji-hoon became a little pale. Joon-su, who looked at his pale little brother, sighed and came forward.

"Actually, we saw that all the baskets in the house were unusable, so we made some new ones this morning," he said with hesitation, looking at Jiho.

"Why are you looking scared? I don't bite," Jiho's teasing made calm Joon-su's face turn red again.

"You...I don't mean that..."

"Wow, I didn't know it was made by you. I thought it was bought due to its excellent design," Jiho stopped laughing when she saw ji-hoon face turn like tomoto and changed the subject.

"No, what do you mean... anyone can do it." Hearing her praise, Joon-su became flustered and waved his hand hastily. It was not his fault; in this countryside, there were no villagers who didn't know how to make a basket.

'Well, I am not shocked may be my wife is a scholar, so she doesn't need to know this type of work.'

"Well, I can't do it," Jiho smiled a little and got back to her work. As she removed leaves from the top of the basket, a shadow jumped from it.

SWOOSH!

"Ekkk!" Suddenly, seeing something jumping at them, Ji-hoon screamed and hid behind Joon-su. Coming to reality, Joon-su quickly grabbed the thing in the air before it could land.

"SQUEL!"

"A... rabbit," looking at the rabbit in his hand, Joon-su was shocked, as were his brothers. They looked back at Jiho, who was still busy sorting her things. Feeling stared at, Jiho glanced back, meeting the shocked eyes of the Su brothers.

"What? I said I'm not good at tying, can you move a bit away.", Without even realising su brothers take few steps back.

'So you mean you can hit a fat pumpkin-like woman but can't tie a rabbit? Wait, it's not important now; what's important is how does she catch this many games.'

"Wife... where did you get these?" Joon-su hesitated a little and looked at Jiho.

"Oh, I got them in the mountain," Jiho took the rabbit from Joon-su's hand and put it in the basket.

"Mountain? Wait, do you mean you venture into the deep forest by yourself?" Min-seo interrupted them and looked at Jiho with a shocked yet worried expression.

"Yes," Jiho replied without even turning, but suddenly, she felt a tug at his hand and turned around.

"Is there anything...." Before Jiho could say anything, she saw a devastated look on Min-seo's face that made her unable to utter a word.

'Why are you making that face?', jiho ha seen many type of expression in her life but she didn't understand this expression no she does it was like when someone...

"So you mean you venture into the deep mountain where not even experienced hunters enter, you, a weak scholar, huh?" Min-seo's voice grew colder as he continued speaking.

"Even if you don't care about yourself, please, I don't want to be a widow at a young age," Min-seo gritted his teeth and looked at Jiho with red eyes which did not define if it was anger or worry.

"Min-seo," Joon-su shouted and raised his hand to hit him. Seeing this, Min-seo closed his eyes, waiting for pain. But even after some time, he didn't feel pain. He opened his eyes, and they became wide.

"What are you doing? It's not like it's his fault," Jiho, who was grabbing Joon-su's hands, looked at him with a calm face.

"But..." Joon-su bit his lips and lowered his head,of course he know his brother is not wrong but speaking like this.

"It's okay, and I am sorry, Min-seo. I am always living alone, so I forget that there was someone who was waiting for me to come back," Jiho patted Min-seo's shoulder, whose face became more devastated. He looked away.

"But just so you know, I am better than hunters in the nearby villages," Jiho already knew how much this world is biased towards mers. When a man's wife dies, he can marry again after one year, but if a mer's wife dies, they have to be a widow for life, and even people will shun them while many were killed .

'Wow, so you don't know how to tie but know how to hunt.'

"I am sorry, wife," looking at Jiho, Min-seo lowered his head. He knew what he said is right, but shouting at their wife, how can he be so foolish.

"I already said it's okay; anyway, I promised someone to live, so I do it," Jiho smiled.

'Old man, just come here, and I'll let you know what a promise is called.'

"Okay, now let's arrange things. Kyung-ho, can you put these rabbits and roosters in the storeroom?"

"Mm," after nodding, Kyung-ho grabbed the basket and looked at Ji-hoon, who also came forward and grabbed the roosters, and walked toward the storeroom.

"Joon-su, can you please light the stove?" Looking at Jiho's smiling face, Joon-su sighed and went to the courtyard for firewood.

Soon, the noisy courtyard became silent. Min-seo looked at Jiho and opened his lips, but soon lowered his head. Jiho, who caught his eyes, smiled a little and walked toward him.

"Min-er, can you please come with cooking?"

"..sure."

After a while in the kitchen, Jiho was washing the meat and soon started cooking.

"Wife, is there anything else you want help with?" Joon-su put down firewood and looked at Jiho.

"Oh then, help me wash the chilies," Jiho pointed at a basket without even turning.

"Chilies?" Tilting his head, Joon-su walked toward the basket. As he opened it, he saw many different types and colors of things.

"Uh, wife, what is all this?" Hearing his voice, Jiho stopped doing her work and looked toward him while rubbing her head.

'Sigh, I totally forgot about it.'

"Wait, I am coming," Jiho took out red chilies that she found in the mountains.

SIGH

When Jiho went to the market last time, she couldn't find any chilies. After some research, she found that in this place, onlyOnly some basic ingredients like soya sauce, salt, and even sugar, which was not purified like brown sugar, were available for cooking. Other seasonings like ginger and garlic, etc., were for medical use. 'Sigh, if I don't find more spices and seasonings, I might really become a nun with this bland food.' Looking at the bright red chilies, Joon-su came forward and grabbed Jiho's hand.

"Wife, is it really safe?" Seeing Jiho staring at him, he soon realized what he did and released her hand. "I...I mean," he lowered his head and bit his lips.

Thuk

"Ugh," suddenly a light hit landed on his head. When he looked up, he saw Jiho looking at him calmly with one hand on her hips.

"Don't you get tired of biting your lips, and how can you lower your head always? Do you know if my master sees you like this, he will think I am bullying you?"

"I don't mean... that," as he said more, his voice became lighter like a bee.

"Hmm, what do you not mean, huh?" Hearing Jiho's voice, Joon-su became more silent and lowered his head.

"You..." Jiho became more irritated even when in Ji's family it was always they being bullied, but it's the first time that she felt like a bully.

"Wife, I..." before he could finish, a kiss landed on his lips.

"Huh," even after being released, Joon-su doesn't know what happened. When Su brothers saw this scene, their eyes became wide.

"If you lower your head or bite your lips one more time, I will kiss you," Jiho smiled brightly and looked at the shocked Joon-su and Su brothers.

HUH

Master: huhu finally my student becomes mature.

Jiho: you old man, how can kissing someone be related to maturity.
