Junho was peering from Gayoon to Minho with a stern gaze while Grandma Shujin was beaming in delight. Jina was confused at the strange atmosphere. That morning, her parents had arrived at Grandma Shujin's house to fetch her but they had some news for everyone.

When they entered the house earlier, Gayoon wanted to ease into the topic but upon seeing Junho, Shujin and Jina at the breakfast table together, she got tongue tied.

To her horror, Minho's no filter mouth declared, "We're getting married and came to seek your blessings."

Shujin exclaimed with happiness while Junho's mouth opened in shock and he dropped the spoon he was holding. Only Jina was confused about what was going on. 

Now they were sitting in the living room with Junho glaring at the couple like an evil demon while Shujin was gushing over a ring Gayoon was wearing on her finger.

"Agh!" she squealed, studying the ring. "I never thought I'd see this day! My granddaughter is getting married!"

"What married?" Junho growled. "I still haven't given my approval to this!"

"But you treat Gayoon as your own daughter," Minho frowned.

"I'm talking about approving you for her!" Junho snapped. He was sitting cross legged on a sofa with a long stick next to him.

"What happens when someone gets married?" Jina asked.

"When two people get married, they promise to love and care for each other forever," Shujin explained. "Have babies and live together-"

"But mom and dad already live together and they have me!" Jina pointed out. "Aren't they married already?"

"They are not legally husband and wife," Shujin said.

Jina pouted. "But my friends at school said that only married couples can have children," she said. "If my mom and dad aren't married, then how was I born?"

"You were the result of medical science and a test tube!" Junho growled. "But these two"

Test tube? Jina wondered. Is that how babies are born?

Junho turned to the couple. Gayoon winced while Minho was silently daring his father to speak.

"You!" Junho pointed the stick at Minho. "What's your monthly income?"

"He's the richest guy in the country!" Shujin barked. "He can probably buy this entire neighborhood!"

"I need numbers and facts!" Junho shot back. "Anything less than one billion is a no no."

"Three billion a month," Minho said coolly. Jina looked from her father to her grandfather. Are they morons? She wondered.

"What about mortgages?" Junho pressed. "Profit margin? How many businesses do you have? Are you going to let our Gayoon work after marriage? What will you buy her? Will you be faithful to her? Answer me dammit!"

"First of all, move that stick away," Minho said in a wary tone. "It ain't scaring anyone. Second of all, I have prepared a file with all those useless questions you have asked."

"Heh?" Gayoon scowled as Minho handed the file to Junho who grudgingly took it.

"Are you two idiots?" Shujin growled. "Talking about money and income before a wedding?"

"Are my parents ever gonna get married?" Jina asked out loud.

"What the hell is this, a business transaction?" Gayoon snapped.

"I handed the same file to my father when I asked for his permission to marry Suna!" Junho claimed.

"You handed her financial information to him?" Gayoon gasped.

"Not hers," Junho said. "Mine. My old man threatened to disown me if I don't earn at least five hundred million per month and pay for all the expenses of his beloved daughter-in-law. Even chased me out of the house for showing him a monthly income of four hundred million dollars! It was only when the figure hit five hundred did he allow me to marry her."

"What did he chase you with?" Jina asked, feeling curious.

"His walking stick," Junho shivered. The memory of his father throwing him out of the house for not being worthy of Suna at that time was causing his temper to rise. 

"Thanks to that old man, my wedding got delayed by five months," Junho moaned. "And Suna was nearing giving birth as well."

"Eh?" Jina exclaimed. "My dad was born before you married grandma? Was he made in the test tube too?"

"No, your grandma and I did it like a normal couple-" Junho bragged but Minho cut him off.

"Stop revealing too much information to a kid!" Minho snapped. 

What am I marrying into? Gayoon thought in dismay. 

Did it? Jina wondered. Did what? 

Junho eyed Minho with skepticism. "This one should be lucky I'm not throwing him out of my sight," he muttered. 

Minho smugly smirked and laid back.

"What about your past girlfriends?" Junho demanded.

"I have none," Minho said, shaking his head.

"Liar!" Junho claimed. "I'm sure you've dated other women! What'll happen if some hussy comes and tries to seduce you?"

"I wouldn't worry about that because I know Gayoon will chase them away before I will," Minho shrugged.

"I agree with that part," Gayoon shamelessly agreed. Shujin hit Junho on the head.

"What was that for?" he groaned, rubbing his head.

"Stop making a fuss and give your blessing!" she yelled at him. "Otherwise I'll chase you out of the house with my sandals! My granddaughter is getting married and your son is a good man. Look how happy they are. You want Jina's parents to remain unmarried? And what about their future children? You want them to be born out of wedlock?"

Junho grumbled and looked at the couple. In reality, he was inwardly very happy to see Gayoon and Minho engaged but as a father figure to Gayoon, he also felt a little sad to see her all grown up and ready to get married. 

Jina got up and stood in front of him. She held his hands in her small palms and looked straight at him with her innocent eyes pleading at her old man.

"Old man, please say yes," she requested. "It'll make me happy."

Gayoon reached over, falling to her knees while holding his hand. 

"Ahjusshi," she begged with the eyes which looked so much like her daughter's ones. "Please"

Junho looked from the mother to the daughter and sighed. 

"Fine, " he finally said with a smile. "You have my blessings. But I have a condition."

"Now what?" Shujin growled but Minho knew what the condition was.

"You want us to get mom's blessings too," he guessed.

"Yes," Junho said in a thick tone. He took a deep breath and sighed. The next step was going to be even more difficult than exorcising demons but he had to do it.

Jina patted his hand and smiled. "Let's go meet grandma!" she said.
