Rubbing his stomach, Kang-dae groaned, "Ugh, my belly needs something tasty." Looking at manila, "Please prepare something before I die."

Manila nodded her head and went back to the kitchen.

"Your father said you ate before coming so why are you suddenly hungry?"

"Grandma, you don't understand." Slumping beside her, he sighed, "It was a long flight here, how do you expect me to remain starve."

"Umm–patricia?" Jin-joo called out one of the helpers.

Rushing into the living room, she lowered her head and politely greeted, "Welcome ma'am."

"Thanks, please get these luggages upstairs and make sure my grandma and younger brother's rooms are well kept."

"Yes ma'am," She politely replied and left.

Turning around, she scrunched her brows when she didn't find Sebastian anywhere, "Seb?"

"I think he is outside, making a phone call." Kang-dae informed.

Helplessly shaking her head, she sighed, "He is not a stranger, at least he could have had his phone calls in here."

.....

Outside

"Ryan get lost and stop being a crackhead." Sebastian snapped.

Widening his eyes, Ryan retorted, "Dude, am not kidding, for goodness sake believe me."

Raising his brows, he tuckled one hand into his pocket, "Tell me something Ry, we were both together this morning and you never said anything of such to me."

"Listen Seb, you can scold me later but please don't miss it. This is my wedding we are talking about here."

"Excuse me, please explain to me why you're being secretive?"

Rolling his eyes, he sighed, "When I left your place to my apartment, I saw the whole place decorated. Thereafter I called Anastasia but she was nowhere to be seen. I went to my room and found a written letter from Anastasia and also a brand new tuxedo on my bed. Dude, believe me or not, I'm not kidding."

Taking a deep breath, Sebastian kept quiet for a long time, "Alright, we are coming."

"We? Who are the we?" Without waiting for his reply, he added, "Aunty Petra is here, everyone is here. Excluding uncle Grayson, he is out of the town."

"Who cares if he's dead or Alive. I don't want to hear the sound of that man's name in my ears. And you should be happy that he wasn't there, or else I wouldn't come."

"Thanks man, please hurry up, the priest is about to start."

"You know I don't like to rush, so give me brief of fifteen minutes." He stated and hung up.

Walking towards him, Jin-joo crossed her arms and smiled, "What are you doing outside? Come in."

Shoving the phone into his pocket, "I had a phone call, so I came out to receive it." He smiled.

"Okay, so shall we go in now?" When he hesitated, she furrowed her brows. Tilting his face towards her, "Is something wrong?"

Puffing his cheeks, he scratched his head and nervously answered, "Actually Jin, its Ryan."

"Your cousin?" Clutching her hands on his t-shirt, she panickly inquired, "What happened to him? Say something, is he alright? Where is Anastasia? Is–"

Cutting her off, he sighed and held her shoulders, "Everything is fine Jin. The thing is Ryan is having a surprised wedding organized by Anastasia."

"Is that all?"

Slowly nodding his head, he sighed. "Yes and he invited us over." Sebastian doesn't want himself to go alone to the party. He needs someone who will accompany him there.

Widening her eyes in shock, she snapped, "Us? But–"

"Jin, I know its shocking to you but we have to attend. We are friends, right? And my cousin is having his wedding ceremony, I can't afford to miss it without you." He stated while looking into her pale eyes.

Keeping quiet for a long time, Jin-joo wanted to keep her family whom just arrived company but at the same time her new friends are having a wedding ceremony. She don't want to miss it, neither does she want to leave her grandma and younger brother behind.

Understanding the reason for her silence, he suggested, "Grandma and Kang-dae came come along too if you don't mind."

"Really?" When he nodded his head, she hugged him. "Thanks Seb."

Patting her back, he smiled, "Alright, let's informed them about it and get going. The wedding just started."
