Extra long chapter because I missed last week~~

Soo yelped when So's large hands caught her by the hips, dragging her back to the bed. "And just where are you going?" he asked as she tripped backwards. Soo collapsed onto the mattress in an ungraceful heap and laughed when her husband's stubbled chin rubbed against her skin, his bare leg draping over her body and trapping her against him.

"Let me get dressed- it's lunchtime!" She pressed her palms to So's cheeks, pushing his prickly face away from hers. His grip on her waist tightened and Soo laughed.

"No," So mumbled. He kept his arms wrapped around his wife as she squirmed. "Stay naked. I'm not letting you go."

They kissed and Soo gave up fighting, knowing that she was not going to escape So through brute force. She patted her sleepy husband's cheek with a sigh, watching him as he closed his eyes. So snuggled close against her chest and Soo ran her hands through his hair. She felt his hot breath tickle her skin as he yawned. "Still tired?" she asked.

"This time difference is very hard to get used to."

Smiling, Soo kissed her husband's forehead. "Then you should sleep. I'll go to Jung's final match by my-" she gasped when So suddenly shifted his body until he was directly above her, a tired glare on his face. She giggled up at him as he sighed.

"You push all the right buttons, don't you?" he grumbled. "Hm? Hae Soo." She nodded and So slowly lowered himself until he was directly on top of her. Soo wrapped her arms around him as he kissed her. So's hand pressed against her chest and Soo hummed as he dotted kisses down her chin. "I just want to spend time with my beautiful, darling, amazing wife…" He yawned against her collarbone before groaning, dropping his forehead onto her chest. Soo stared at the mop of dark hair that her hands had forced into a shaggy mess. She kissed the head that currently weighed her chest down and smiled as her husband pouted.

So's hand patted against her stomach and Soo rubbed his shoulders as best as she could from where she laid.

"Alright," So groaned. "Put clothes on. I'll shave and get dressed too. Let's go watch my brother pummel someone."

"That's the spirit," Soo declared, beaming. "When we get back, I promise I won't wear anything for the rest of the evening."

"Evening is six hours away."

It took an hour for them to get put together. Between So dragging her into the shower with him and continuing to press kisses to her, asking to stay and sleep in, Soo found herself taking much longer than usual to get ready.

Finally washed and dried, Soo smiled as her husband shouldered a sport coat over his t-shirt. She read an article online as they got ready for the day. "Park Soon Deok has won the gold medal in taekwondo. She was cheered on by other Korean athletes and, most notably, by idol Wang Eun," she said, scanning over her phone. "Oh my- So, look."

So buckled his belt and glanced up when Soo held the screen out for him to see. He raised an eyebrow at Eun wearing a t-shirt with Soon Deok's face on it, a Korean flag tied around his shoulders like a cape. The star cheered from the stands, holding his fist up. "So much for 'fashion icon,'" So huffed. "Did the press catch on that they're dating?" He listened as his wife continued to read.

"We're not sure why Wang Eun is wearing a Park Soon Deok shirt, but it seems the idol loves taekwondo. After attending the wedding of his older brother, Wang So, our favorite singer headed straight for the airport and was seen the next day in Rio de Janeiro- no doubt there to watch his other brother, Wang Jung, vy for gold in taekwondo. Today, we might be able to catch a glimpse of Wang Eun if the camera pans to the family box."

Scoffing, So rubbed his forehead. He stared out the window at the beach, watching sparkling blue water lap against white sand. Even when the sun was at its highest, there were people swimming and tanning, enjoying the beach and drinking to their heart's content. "Jung is the reason you're not in a bikini right now," he sighed distastefully. "That cockblocking asshole."

Soo patted her husband's back, consoling him. "I mourn your loss." She nodded serenely, trying her best not to laugh. "I really do. Now zip me up."

They held hands on the car ride to the stadium and Soo hummed as the scenery flew by. So had gone through great lengths to hire a driver for them while they were in Rio so he and Soo could sit in the back of the car together and enjoy their time without any distractions.

"I know we're not supposed to talk about your work while we're here, but I have a question," Soo said, staring out the window.

She turned towards her husband and smiled as he leaned his head onto her shoulder. "If it's about my work then it's about my brothers," So muttered in response. "And the last thing I need is to think about the assholes that are keeping me from making love to my new wife."

Soo wrinkled her nose before shaking her head. "Answer the question and I'll consider pretending to be sick so we can leave early."

"Deal."

"Didn't Wook say he was going to side with Mu?" Soo asked, remembering the day news about So and Yo's move to take the company was released. "You told me he voted for Yo. Why?"

Soo listened to So's elongated groan as his head slid from being on top of her shoulder to resting against her thigh. She smoothed her hands over his hair and combed the dark strands as he grumbled under his breath and held onto her knee. "Who knows what goes on in Wook's mind? He was always smarter than me. When we were kids, he was class president and always did well on oral projects and whatnot." So sighed and closed his eyes. "I think it's because if Mu had won, Father would have imposed more rules onto my brothers for daring to act out. Yo and I would have been cut from the family tree and Wook would be left to pick up the scraps of Mu's failing company. Wook would have risen in rank- that much is true- but it's better to be within the ranks of a strong company than to be at the helm of a sinking one."

Soo nodded at her husband's words as he sighed. "That or because he knew I was probably going to be disinherited if Father found out about the vote, he voted for Yo to protect me, indirectly making sure you were cared for. I'm sure your cousin worried for you very much."

So looked up at his wife as she nodded. "I answered your question, so I want a kiss," he said with a grin. So reached his hand to caress Soo's cheek and tucked her hair behind her ear, accepting his wife's exasperated smile.

Their lips met and So hummed in content, removing his seatbelt so he could lay more comfortably. "Sleep, Husband," Soo murmured, touching his cheek and chuckling. She smoothed over the tense muscles in his shoulder, kissing his forehead. "We have a few minutes until we reach the stadium.

So smiled softly as his eyes closed and Soo caressed her husband's cheeks as she gazed out the window and sighed in bliss. The ocean glimmered and there were no clouds in the sky, baring the sun and shining light onto everything around.

When they arrived at the stadium, Soo shook So awake and laughed when he surprised her with a kiss, his torso shooting up so that he could meet her lips with his before their driver opened the back door.

After their quick makeout session, Soo held her husband's arm as they made their way past security with the family passes Jung's coach had procured for them. They found the box reserved for athletes' families and So felt Soo wave when they caught sight of Soon Deok, Eun, and Baek Ah. Soo also noticed So's parents as well as Mu's son and daughter.

"Hi, everyone!" she called. She bowed to So's parents before hugging Soon Deok and congratulating her. Soo greeted each of So's brothers and leaned to give each of Mu's children a high five. So knew his parents had decided to bring Heung Hwa and Gyung Hwa to Rio to give Mu and his wife a bit of respite.

While Soo greeted his family, So bowed to his parents before staring at Baek Ah and Eun. Baek Ah wore a hanbok and Eun wore a black t-shirt and jeans. Surprised at the lack of patriotic paraphernalia, So wrapped an arm around each of his brothers. "So, how much do you want to bet that Jung 'accidentally' loses a piece of clothing."

"Sixty thousand won that he wears earrings even though he's not supposed to," Baek Ah stated as they sat down. So glanced at Soo as she spoke to Mu's daughter, complimenting her outfit. He wondered if she would mind his gambling. She was too busy congratulating Soon Deok and speaking with Mu's children.

"I'll take that bet," So nodded.

"Weak," Eun snorted. "Two hundred thousand won he loses his shirt during the match." Baek Ah protested his brother's claim but So shook his head.

"I'll take that, but if he loses his shirt after the match, your money's mine."

Eun looked skeptical of So's statement, but agreed with a sure nod. "Deal. If he doesn't lose any clothing, the money goes to Baek Ah."

"Add one hundred thousand for a Korean flag painted onto his chest or some other good luck charm?" So sized his younger brother as Eun thought for a moment. They ignored Baek Ah's protests and added bets on top of bets, adding money and promising the leftovers to the model that squawked beside So.

"No… he wouldn't add any weight to his body," Eun said. He shook hands with So and sat back, ready to win himself a good chunk of cash.

The matches began and So sat down between Soo and Eun as Jung walked out onto the mat, his coach right behind him. Dressed in white, he held a fist up with an easy smirk.

So heard his mother clapping as the youngest brother waved to his spectators. The stands went wild for Jung, egging him on and cheering for him. Flags waved and signs and banners were held up in his honor.

Jung stepped onto the mat, ready to face his opponent. He held a blue helmet in his hands and took his place in front of the man he would fight.

They bowed to each other and then to the referee before putting their helmets on and awaiting the signal. So turned to Soo and took her hand, clasping it with his. She hardly acknowledged him, opting to lean forward and watch the match instead.

Jung immediately took an offensive approach, shouting as he landed kick after kick. "Looks like illegally fighting on the streets is actually worth something," So heard Baek Ah say. The older brother chuckled and agreed.

"You still owe me sixty thousand won. He's not wearing earrings," he called to his brother over the din of the crowd.

The scoreboard ticked and Madam Yoo shrieked when Jung received a swift blow to the chest. "Jung!"

"Sit down, Shin Myung, he's fine," So heard his father say quietly. "The boy's alright."

So inhaled sharply before remembering Jung was trained to handle these situations. He clenched Soo's hand and continued to watch as Jung fended off his now offensive foe. The lead he had acquired quickly grew less and less prominent. Points ticked against his favor and time was running out.

The match was close. Jung received more blows due to his lack of defense and So bit his cheek when his youngest brother almost stumbled backwards, blocking a kick. "When will it end?" he asked, glancing at the scoreboard. His chest thrummed with nervous anticipation and he clenched Soo's hand, almost oblivious to the fact that she was rubbing his shoulder.

With ten seconds left, there was nothing for Jung to do to protect himself. So shouted for Jung to block his chest and to run. Baek Ah shouted for him to block his stomach. Eun shouted for him to just flee.

Roaring, the youngest Wang took on a completely different tactic. He kicked his foe in the chest before responding with a second blow straight into his shoulder, sending his opponent toppling backwards and out of bounds.

The fight was over.

Jung's face appeared on the screens, declaring him the victor, and So stood to clap, unable to hold his smile back. He nodded at his youngest brother, watching the little punk wipe sweat off of his face and bellow in victory.

After bowing to the referee and his opponent, Jung removed his helmet and chucked it at Park Soo Gyung. The coach caught the projectile with one hand, shaking his head and chuckling.

Elated, the youngest Wang grasped his shirt and tore it off, flinging it into the crowd. He raised his fists to the sky and watched as his mother collapsed into her seat.

"He didn't," Eun whispered.

"He did."

"Oh my God."

As his uniform fluttered to the ground, Jung beat a fist against his chest, presenting a Korean flag tattooed onto his heart. When he turned around, he revealed a massive tiger inked onto the majority of his right side. Done in bright hues of orange and black, the beast stalked through grass, its white teeth bared.

His family gaped and Madam Yoo fainted, collapsing into her husband's arms.

"Wow, it looks great from afar." So turned towards Baek Ah as his brother sat with nonchalance. The artist nodded in appreciation and So blinked at his younger brother. He met eyes with Baek Ah who grinned. "I did the tiger for him a week before your wedding. Looks great, doesn't it?"

There was no denying that the tattoo was beautiful… except that such a piece of artwork was currently inked onto the man who did a backflip and snatched his jacket from his coach's hand. Soon Deok's father patted Jung's shoulder as he covered himself.

"Jung asked me to do the Olympic rings on his back, but I gave him some art instead." So stared at Baek Ah- the only one who seemed completely alright with Jung's new additions to his body.

Later, after having dinner, the family met at the hotel suite the former chairman and Madam Yoo were sharing with Baek Ah and Eun. A newly washed and freshly reprimanded Jung was smarting bruises on his body from both his opponent and mother- some for glory, others for daring to get a tattoo without his mother's permission.

Dressed down, Soo sat on the sofa with So's arm around her shoulders. She watched Jung toss maltesers into the air before catching them in his mouth and happily munching on the chocolate, a stupid grin on his face.

Baek Ah sat with Mu's children and Madam Yoo, playing a card game with them. Taejo sat beside Jung and watched his family spend time together after a hectic day.

The former chairman gazed out at his family and wondered which of the members of the board had sided with Yo. Mu had fallen due to one changed vote, but Taejo had no idea who the turncloak was. It was obvious So and Yeon Hwa had sided with Yo to begin with and Wook had been Mu's right hand from the beginning. Taejo knew it was a breach of company rules to ask Ji Mong to tell him the exact points of the vote. He could have received an immediate answer if her were still chairman, but as a former head, Taejo knew he no longer held much power. All he had left were the cards he had hidden while still in office.

"Hey, Wook!" The family turned at Eun's voice, staring at the pop star as he carried a tablet around, greeting his older brother via FaceTime. "What's up? Isn't it great that Jung won!"

"Brother, I won!" Jung shouted after catching another piece of candy in his mouth. He offered his father some of his candy and Taejo declined the offer.

"What? His match was today, wasn't it? I'm sorry, I couldn't watch it."

The family frowned at Wook's tired voice and Eun passed the tablet over to Taejo at Wook's request. He sat down beside So as his brother leaned forward. So narrowed his eyes at Wook's weak voice and listened intently.

A hush fell over the family as they eavesdropped on the conversation.

"Wook, what do you mean you didn't watch Jung? Did you forget?" Taejo asked. His voice grew worried as he addressed his disheveled son. Dark circles rimmed Wook's puffy eyes and he wore a wrinkled t-shirt and jeans, his hair a mess. "Are you alright?"

Wook pressed a hand over his eyes before chuckling softly. "Myung Hee had some complications, so we proceeded with a c-section today," he said.

Taejo raised his eyebrows as Soo immediately sat up. "Myung Hee had her babies?!" his daughter-in-law demanded, distress apparent in her voice. She rushed towards where he sat, standing behind him. Taejo tilted the screen so she could see. "Is she alright?"

"Is that Soo?" Wook asked. Taejo watched his son nod. "She's alright. Her mother and Mun Seong were with her during the birth. The babies are safe and in incubators right now and… Father," Wook's voice cracked and Taejo smiled down at his son, watching him sniff.

"Hey, don't cry, it's alright," a voice said from behind. Taejo greeted his daughter when she stepped close to Wook. Yeon Hwa bowed and patted her brother's shoulder before leaving the screen. "Should I tell them you collapsed in the birthing room and had to be carried out?"

Wook coughed and Taejo sucked on his teeth when his son flipped his daughter off. "They're all healthy and safe," Wook sighed, wiping his eyes. He sat straight and accepted the tissue his sister provided. Yeon Hwa also flipped her brother the bird and Taejo narrowed his eyes. "My daughter was born first and then my son was brought into the world."

A cheer went up from Jung and Baek Ah. Taejo smiled as his sons called their congratulations out to their brother. "Congratulations, my boy," he said to Wook.

Taejo knew he had once told his sons that the would not be allowed to have children before Mu did. He remembered sanctioning them so they would never have the upper hand against his firstborn. But no matter how many rules Taejo had imposed upon his sons, they all seemed to stray in their own ways. Only So had remained loyal… until he had sided with Yo.

Taejo no longer spoke to his second son. Yo was no one to him. Because of his wife's incessant nagging, Taejo had not removed Yo from the family tree, but they no longer maintained correspondence. Taejo found that he missed seeing little Gyung babbling and crawling around the house, toddling over to his grandmother and demanding he be held. But now, Taejo would fill the hole in his heart with Wook's new children. He had two new grandbabies to welcome into the family.

"I'm so proud of you," he said to Wook. "You're a father now."

The camera shook and Taejo heard Soo gasp when the image shifted. Wook's face was replaced with the image of two babies in an incubator, their eyes closed and their hands clasped together. Both were wore little white outfits and yellow hats.

Wook's hand moved into the case and his palm rested on the first baby, almost completely encapsulating the little child's chest. "This is Wang Bok Soon, my daughter." His hand moved to touch the other baby. "And this is Wang Chi, my son."

"Congratulations, son."

Taejo passed the tablet back to Eun who took the screen around the room, allowing the rest of the family to relay their congratulations to Wook. Shouts of love and cheers of joy went up throughout the room.

So received the tablet and smiled at his niece and nephew. "Congratulations, Wook. Looks like you're a father before I am. I'm happy for you."

"If you're happy for me then hurry up and have a kid of your own," Wook replied, tiredly chuckling at his own remark.

"Expect it!" So called to his brother. He smirked when Jung and Eun grinned at him before they raised their eyebrows at Soo who immediately began to dial Myung Hee's number. "Stop staring at my wife, kids," So said, narrowing his eyes at his brothers.

"Alright, I have to go. I need to check on my wife." Wook waved to his family and chuckled when he overheard Soo tearfully congratulating Myung Hee and apologizing for not being there with her. "Don't cry, Soo. She's sorry she had the babies without you too."

Once the video call was over, So tossed the tablet aside and chuckled, shaking his head. He glanced at his wife as she wiped her eyes with a napkin and beamed as she talked to Myung Hee. "Leave it to Wook to name his daughter 'Blessing Girl.' It's cute."

He stretched his arms out as Eun passed by him to retrieve the tablet. "That's rich coming from the person whose name sounds exactly like the word 'cow,'" the younger man remarked.

So paused mid-stretch to glower at his brother.

With lightning-like reflexes, he kicked Eun behind the knee and leapt forward, knocking his brother down and locking him between his legs. So ground his knuckles against Eun's pink hair, giving the popstar a long and loving noogie. "Apologize, brat," he growled as Eun protested. So could hear his other brothers and niece and nephew laughing as Eun protested and tried to bite him.

"Never!" Eun shouted. So continued to muss Eun's hair, knocking him onto the floor and pinning his brother down. He could hear Jung laughing and see Baek Ah whipping his phone out to take a video of the scene.

Soo watched from beside her father-in-law as her husband and his brother wrestled, hurling playful insults and declaring the other his mortal enemy. Forgetting her tears, she laughed and pressed a hand to her mouth, telling Baek Ah to send the footage to her.

Her husband rolled onto his back when his niece and nephew joined in at Eun's behest. So laughed and pretended to lose as the children pinned him to the ground and sat on his chest.

Even then, So managed to kick Eun down and keep the writhing popstar locked between his legs.

Yawning, Soo set her bag down onto the table, laughing when So's arms wrapped around her and scooped her into his hold. Soo looked up at her husband and wrinkled her nose at him.

"I think we had an agreement," he murmured.

Soo hummed softly, touching his cheek. She noticed So's fingers gently drumming against her skin and she leaned closer to her husband, tilting her head and nuzzling against his neck. She could feel her breath ricocheting off of his skin. "Did we?" she asked. "I can't remember."

Soo laughed when So moved her so that her legs wrapped around him, his hands supporting her bottom. Gazing at her husband with wide eyes, Soo acted innocent in the face of the big, bad wolf. "You'll have to remind me of what we agreed to," she cooed, smiling sweetly.

She pressed a quick kiss to So's cheek and watched his pupils dilate, his hands grasping her harder. She toyed with him, swaying her hips and holding his back as he carried her to the bed. "Hae Soo, you'll be the death of me," So growled.

"We'll see," she laughed. Soo held the back of So's neck as he gently lowered her onto their newly made bed. So's lips met her chin and ear, his hot breath curling against her throat and his hands pulling her closer. "I think I made you a promise that I wouldn't wear anything for the rest of the evening… or did you forget?"

So smirked at his wife's teasing and pressed his cheek to her head. "How could I? I remember everything that comes out of your beautiful mouth."

He had waited an entire day to be in private with Soo again eager to undress her and make sweet love to his new bride. All he needed was a nod from his little wife. So felt his heart hammer in his chest, beating a rhythm of adoration as he looked at Soo's lovely face.

Soo smiled, knowing how much her husband had waited for them to be alone again. He had begged for them to stay home instead of going out and meeting his family, and she knew So would be growing impatient.

Nibbling on So's shoulder, Soo pointed to the bed and pushed So down when he sat on top of the mattress, straddling his waist. Soo sat on top of So and nodded to her husband, unwilling to make him wait any longer. She wanted him as much as he wanted her. "I need you to unzip me if we're going to get anything done."

And like a magnet, So's lips met hers and his arms encircled her body. Soo could feel his hand against her back, opening her dress and baring her back. "You didn't wear a bra?" So asked, pulling away from their locked lips. His question was breathless and Soo nodded.

"I didn't feel the need to." Her dress slid down her shoulders, baring her from waist up. Soo gazed down at her husband as his eyes darkened. She reached for So's hand and placed it against her hip, smiling when his thumb drew circles against her skin and his palm caressed her waist. "Do you want me to wear bras more often? Should I have worn one today?"

So shook his head, chuckling as he touched Soo's soft skin and kissed her smiling lips. "I love you just the way you are."

"You know I'm not going to let you sleep at all tonight," Soo said, her voice challenging her husband.

"I'm more worried you're going to fall asleep on me, my love," So replied.

They laughed together, hugging and touching, cuddling and kissing. So held Soo close as she removed the rest of her dress and sat on his lap, tossing the garment in a random direction.

"Well, Husband, I think it's unfair that I'm the only one in my underwear."

"So do I."
