Siblings Working in Business (195)
“Seriously.”
“Did you sleep well?”
“What? I, what was that?”
“It was you, what else would it be?”
“Did I sleep?”
“Yeah. You were even snoring.”
“…”
Eun-ho stared blankly at his black lyric notebook, which he hadn’t realized he’d brought.
“We’re here. Get out.”
“Already?”
“‘Already’? We’ve been driving for an hour.”
“An hour…?”
“Yeah. After making all that fuss, you slept like a log.”
Eun-ji chuckled at Eun-ho’s sleepy mumble.
They got out of the car and saw a row of identical large tents.
“Now that you’re well-rested, put in some work.”
“Work?”
As Eun-ho tilted his head in confusion…
Eun-ji jumped out of the driver’s seat and headed straight for the trunk.
As Eun-ho followed, Eun-ji opened the trunk.
Thud.
“Ta-da!”
Three unfamiliar iceboxes were inside.
“What’s this?”
“A gift from CEO Park.”
“He didn’t tell me anything about it.”
“He probably told me because you always refuse whenever he offers to buy you anything. Heave-ho.”
Eun-ji picked up one of the heavy iceboxes.
“Isn’t that heavy?”
“If it is, are you going to carry it for me?”
“No. I’ll take the lightest one.”
Thwack.
Eun-ji, forgetting they were being filmed, kicked Eun-ho’s thigh with the icebox.
Eun-ho, amused despite the pain, chuckled and picked up another icebox.
“Number 3, 3, 3…”
“Idiot, if that’s 1 and this is 2, then the one you’re standing in front of is 3.”
“I know! I was just checking.”
“Sure, sure.”
Thud!
Eun-ji slammed the icebox down and lunged at Eun-ho.
“Ow!”
“Oof.”
Eun-ho instinctively raised the icebox to block her attack.
Eun-ji winced, having bumped into the box, and Eun-ho also groaned in pain from the impact.
The cameraman, hiding and watching their antics, was biting his lip to suppress his laughter.
“There’s one more icebox, right?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll go get it.”
Just as Eun-ji was about to leave…
“Hey, wait.”
“Yeah?”
“Are you seriously wearing heels to a campsite?”
He just noticed.
‘She was wearing sneakers when she was driving…’
Eun-ji was now wearing black slingback heels.
“Ah, these.”
Eun-ji kicked some dirt, looked down at her shoes, and then smiled brightly,
“It’s for the broadcast.”
Eun-ho facepalmed and sighed in disbelief.
That stubborn streak of hers.
He had heard that Eun-ji insisted on wearing heels on broadcasts, much to Seul-gi’s frustration.
True to form…
Even for a reality show, it was no different.
“Whatever. I’ll get it.”
“Then let’s go together. I left my guitar in the car.”
“You brought your guitar too?”
“It’s ambition.”
“It’s called inspiration.”
“Ambition, inspiration, same difference.”
“They’re completely different, idiot.”
“Whatever.”
“Dumbass.”
“Shut up, rockfish head.”
“Yeah, pumpkin head.”
“You never let me win. Does it make you feel good to one-up your younger sister?”
“Hell yeah. It’s the best feeling in the world.”
As Eun-ji stuck her tongue out at him and quickened her pace, Eun-ho chuckled and followed.
While Eun-ji retrieved her guitar, Eun-ho picked up the last icebox.
On their way back to tent number 3…
“Hey, Lee Eun-ji.”
“What?”
“You could be a farmer.”
“What are you talking about?”
Eun-ho pointed to the conspicuous holes in the dirt path.
“Don’t you think something would grow if you planted it there?”
He was referring to Eun-ji’s heel marks.
There were holes deep enough to plant seeds where Eun-ji had walked.
“Ha, seriously, ack, hahaha.”
This time, Eun-ji found his joke funny, clutching her guitar and giggling.
“Honestly, you have to admit this is funny.”
“I admit it. Haha.”
The number of holes doubled on their way back, thanks to Eun-ji’s heels.
The campsite was empty since it was a weekday and early in the day.
They might have rented out the entire place for filming, but he hadn’t heard anything about it.
“Wow!!!”
“Waaaaah!!!”
Just then…
Eun-ho and Eun-ji’s joyful shouts echoed through the mountains.
They were screams of delight upon seeing the contents of the iceboxes.
“Dad, you’re the best!!!”
Eun-ho, surprised by Eun-ji’s nickname for CEO Park, then smiled brightly.
“He is.”
The reason for their joy was simple.
Meat.
The iceboxes were filled with perfectly cooked sous vide steaks, ready to be grilled.
One box contained pork, one beef, and the last one was filled with ice and small bottles of beer and cider.
Although the meat boxes were blue, the drink box was green, suggesting a sponsorship…
Whatever.
Eun-ho and Eun-ji took out enough meat for their meal and put the rest in the refrigerator inside the tent.
The beer also went into the fridge.
‘If we drink now, we’ll black out before we even start.’
They knew their limits.
Some people might start eating as soon as they arrived at a campsite, but wasn’t camping about enjoying nature and eating?
At least, that’s what it was for Eun-ho and Eun-ji.
After the staff prepared the barbecue grill with charcoal, Eun-ho and Eun-ji stood facing each other, determined.
“Rock, paper, scissors!”
It was rock-paper-scissors to decide who would grill the meat.
The first round was a tie.
Second round.
Eun-ji smirked.
Eun-ho also had a mischievous glint in his eyes.
“Rock, paper, scissors!”
Eun-ji threw paper.
She had remembered that Eun-ho always threw rock on the second round, but!
“Haha! Not falling for that again!”
Eun-ho threw scissors.
“Best of three!”
“Stop talking nonsense. Grill.”
“Best of threeeee!!!”
“Shut up! Grill!”
“Noooo!”
“Seriously, you’re going to make me curse.”
“Noooooooo!!!”
“Stop it!!! Fine, best of three! I give up! Stop it!”
“Heehee.”
“I’m not going easy on you this time.”
“Okay.”
Eun-ho, his face pale, had no choice but to accept Eun-ji’s almost terrifying whining.
“Rock, paper, scissors!”
Eun-ji, rock.
Eun-ho, rock.
“Ro-, rock, paper, scissors!”
Eun-ji, scissors.
Eun-ho, paper.
“Damn it…”
Eun-ho slumped, looking at his open hand.
“It’s 1:1.”
After a series of ties, the score reached 2:2.
“Rock, paper…”
A tense atmosphere filled the air in front of the heating barbecue grill.
“Scissors!!!”
“Yessss!!!”
Eun-ho shouted, pumping his fist in the air.
“See, you were going to grill anyway, idiot. Haha!”
Eun-ji, pouting, cursed under her breath.
Eun-ho, forgetting they were being filmed, grinned and teased her relentlessly.
But they ended up grilling the meat together.
Not out of consideration, but because Eun-ho wanted to eat.
Eun-ji would put the meat on the grill, sizzle once, flip it, sizzle again, and then pop it straight into her mouth.
In this situation, Eun-ho had no choice but to take over the grilling duties before all the beef ended up in Eun-ji’s stomach.

After finishing the beef, Eun-ho and Eun-ji started grilling the pork.
But perhaps because they were already full, and pork took longer to cook…
Their hunger seemed to subside, and they ate like normal ‘humans,’ unlike with the beef.
Around that time, perhaps needing something stronger than cider to cut through the richness of the meat… Eun-ho and Eun-ji put away the cider and took out the forbidden beverage.
Beer.
The sky had darkened, and stars were now visible in the clear night sky.
‘How can they eat for hours on end?’
…Eun-ho thought to himself.
He knew the answer.
‘I kept eating because it was there.’
The barbecue grill had done its job, and Eun-ho, after grilling the remaining meat and sharing it with the staff, turned it off.
He kept a small portion of the meat for snacks.
The embers from the grill were transferred to a small fire pit.
“I guess after eating only meat…”
“Are you craving ramen?”
“Yeah. PT-nim will cry if we eat more, right?”
“Of course.”
“Then we should eat it.”
“Haha.”
Fortunately, they weren’t eating the whole thing, just dissolving the seasoning packet in hot water to satisfy their craving for something savory.
Patting their full stomachs, Eun-ho and Eun-ji unfolded the reclining chairs inside the tent.
Sitting in the chairs, sipping the ramen broth like coffee while watching the campfire, they couldn’t stop laughing, finding the situation amusing.
When Eun-ji’s beer bottle was more than half empty…
She took out the guitar she had brought.
Eun-ho also took a swig from his beer bottle, the crackling campfire their only companion.
However, unlike Eun-ji’s bottle, which was more than half empty, Eun-ho’s was only half full.
Although Eun-ho looked visibly tipsy…
It was only…
Half of a small beer bottle.
Eun-ji’s face was also flushed, but she seemed to have a higher tolerance, as she could still hold her own despite having two more sips.
“Haa…”
Eun-ho sighed, resting his chin on his hand, seemingly struggling slightly.
Just then…
Strum.
Eun-ho’s eyes slowly turned towards Eun-ji at the sound of her tuning the guitar.
“What are you looking at?”
Eun-ji, seemingly bothered by Eun-ho’s sleepy stare, grumbled.
“Just…”
“What?”
“I’m a bit envious that you’re so good at guitar.”
Strum.
As if the tuning was done after a few adjustments…
Eun-ji fiddled with the guitar, getting ready to play, and asked,
“Want me to teach you?”
“No. I’m definitely not learning from you.”
Eun-ji, her neck craning forward, asked at Eun-ho’s firm refusal,
“Why? I’m a pretty good teacher.”
“Just… you’re annoying.”
Eun-ji chuckled and raised her middle finger at his drunken honesty.
Perhaps because of the alcohol…
They were genuinely enjoying the camping atmosphere, forgetting about the cameras.
