wedding day
A pure white-skinned girl, sitting in a dressing chair. A happy smile tugged at her sweet lips. She held a bouquet of lilies of the valley in her gloved hand.
Every woman in the room was stunned to see her beautiful dress like a princess from a fairy tale. Her mother looked at the girl's face through the mirror while holding her 37-year-old daughter's shoulders. Her eyes filled with tears showing emotion mixed with profound happiness.
This view certainly carries away the feelings of those who see it.
This garden party-themed wedding has been planned for one month. Guests began to fill the garden area. Some were already sitting at their respective tables and talking to each other, some were busy taking photos in the garden area, and some were busy with themselves.
Hyun Jae is standing near the pillar of the main building in the hotel area where the garden party is being held. He is like a man who has lost his mind. He kept looking at the entrance of the garden area, hoping someone would show up.
His anxiety continued to grow as time went on. He looked once again at the screen of his phone. written there
"Are you coming to my sister's wedding?" he asked,
"Okay, I'll work on it," was the reply from the girl who he doesn't know what kind of term suits to describe their current relationship.
Hyun Jae's mistakes are quite heavy, but neither Hyun Jae nor Hyo Joo has yet to end or decide anything about continuing their relationship.

Hyo Joo's dormitory
Hyo Joo looks at her cellphone screen, it's noon. She should have been at the venue for Hyun Jae's sister's wedding, but her heart was heavy to walk away. Even though she was dressed up neatly, wearing a light gray dress with circular tiles across her chest to her back, which of course gave an elegant but still simple impression.
"Why are you even daydreaming? if you don't want to go, then don't go," said Nana, who was lying on the bed while munching on snacks.
Hyo Joo swallows hard and looks once again at herself in the mirror. Even though her heart is heavy but still, she doesn't want to make a precious day for someone she knows to be gloomy. Hyo Joo put accessories, gold metal ribbons with pearl decorations, on her hair and made up her mind to go.
Hyo Joo walked with steady steps out of the dormitory building and walked out of the campus area. She will take a taxi so she can get there quickly and it will be more comfortable for her than taking a bus in such eye-catching clothes.
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of her. The person in the car rolled down the window. A man smiles sweetly at Hyo Joo.
"Do you want to go to the Shin family's wedding?" Hyun Min smiles broadly inviting Hyo Joo
Hyo Joo nodded slowly
"Come on, let's go together," said Hyun Min
Hyo Joo opens the car door and sits next to Hyun Min.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't open the door for you because I didn't want to give a false impression. Let's go back to normal and start slowly," Hyun Min said.
Hyo Joo then buckled up, and they started driving to the wedding venue.
along the way, Hyo Joo kept looking out the window.
Hyun Min realized that the girl was a little uncomfortable about many things. the girl worried about many things in her mind. Hyun Min tries to understand but this silence must be ended before he gets frustrated in this 15-minute journey.
Hyun Min then said
"Aren't you curious?"
Hyo Joo looks at Hyun Min who is driving the car. Hyo Joo realizes that she may have made things awkward.
"I'm curious" Hyo Joo replied
Hyo Joo watches Hyun Min closely, neatly dressed suit, and hair styled as she usually sees but somehow looks different today. a handsome face with a gentle gaze and smile. anyone will fall in love.
Hyo Joo then leaned back against the chair, as if she wanted to sink herself into the chair.
"why?" Hyun Min asked
"Huh?" Hyo Joo replied quietly
"Why stop looking at me? I'm happy when you look at me like that" Hyun Min laughed happily
Hyo Joo feels very embarrassed because she was caught red-handed.
Hyun Min then catches a glimpse of Hyo Joo and laughs excitedly. he was happy to tease Hyo Joo.
"I was invited to Shin's family's wedding. I should have gone with my family, but as soon as I saw the invitation, I thought some people needed me more to accompany them."
Hyo Joo was silent
"Even though it's hard and I want to hold you at the wedding and show Hyun Jae that he has lost something big but I will keep my promise to you. So come on up to the venue first. I'll be in 10 minutes later"
Hyo Joo get down from Hyun Min's car and walked towards the wedding venue. She can see a nervous Hyun Jae near the entrance.
Hyun Jae sees Hyo Joo's arrival and immediately runs to her and wants to hug her, but Hyo Joo's body moves backward quickly.
"I'm sorry, is this okay?" Hyun Jae held out his arm
Hyo Joo wrapped her arms around Hyun Jae's arm and entered the venue together as if they had no problem.
10 minutes later Hyun Min came and sat near his parents. Hyun Min's family is one of the business partners of the Shin family. from a distance, Hyun Min can see Hyo Joo sitting side by side with Hyun Jae in the front row.
The wedding ceremony took place smoothly. guests are then welcome to enjoy the banquet that has been provided. Hyo Joo walks around a collection of sweet cakes. She has no appetite but seeing the cakes makes her happy.
while looking around she accidentally bumped into a woman.
"Sorry," Hyo Joo said
"Sorry" the girl replied
Hyo Joo looked at the woman, she was older than her maybe at the same age as Hyun Ji or slightly younger than Hyun Ji. she wore a red floral dress that was slightly open. Hyo Joo feels like a child when standing next to her.
"It's okay, did something hit your dress when we touched?" asked the woman.
"no…no" Hyo Joo immediately felt familiar with the woman's voice
her voice reminds her of someone but Hyo Joo can't remember it clearly. Hyun Min came over to Hyo Joo who continued observing her favorite sweet food. Hyo Joo thinks that instead of feeling pressured she'd better pretend and enjoy these beautiful and sweet cakes.
"Is picking cakes that long?" Hyun Min was already standing behind him, making Hyo Joo a little surprised
"It turns out that the only son of the Hwang family has left the military"
the voice of a middle-aged man who is very familiar to Hyo Joo ear is heard. the voice was none other than his father's.
"Hello, Mr. Lee" Hyun Min greeted and bowed
"Ah, no need to be shy" Hyo Joo's father replied, glancing slightly at Hyo Joo who turned her back on her father.
Not long after, Hyo Joo's stepmother arrives
"Wow, the son of the successor of the Hwang family. You are always handsome as usual," said Hyo Joo's stepmother
"oh, you came with a girl huh? hello, I'm Mrs. Lee" Hyo Joo's stepmother greeted without knowing that what she greeted was her stepdaughter.
Hyo Joo turned around, she saw her father's slightly hardened expression and her stepmother who was very surprised.
"Hello dad," said Hyo Joo
"I knew you would come to this wedding because this is your lover's sister's wedding. But I didn't know that behind your innocent face, it turns out that you have an ambition." Hyo Joo's stepmother openly said bad things about Hyo Joo in front of her father.
Hyo Joo looks at her father
"Don't make trouble here," said Hyo Joo's father to Hyo Joo's stepmother
"We're sorry" continued Hyo Joo's father
they walked away leaving Hyun Min and Hyo Joo.
"So this is your flaw" Hyun Min spoke
"Finally I found your flaw" Min Hyun then smiled
"Hyo Joo!" Hyun Jae came after meeting his sister in the bridal room.
"We'll take a picture together, let's join" Hyun Jae said
Hyo Joo then left Hyun Min. She looked at Hyun Min who was still smiling at her.
photographer set position for a wedding photo with family. Hyo Joo is forced to join in because her relationship with Hyun Jae is still unfinished. She also didn't want to make a fuss and mess up Hyun Jae's sister's wedding.
Hyun Jae holds Hyo Joo's hand one session and hugs Hyo Joo's waist the next. Hyo Joo cursed herself inside. why Hyun Jae can still make her fascinated and fall in love. She thought that she might have gone mad, but every touch from Hyun Jae is like magic and his soft voice is like a spell in Hyo Joo's ear.
guests one by one started to leave the building, so did Hyun Min. He is helpless, he is still an acquaintance to Hyo Joo.
Hyun Jae holds Hyo Joo's hand and stands together at the edge of the guardrail. his gaze is far towards the sky.
"Hyo Joo" Hyun Jae said while closing his eyes, he enjoyed the wind blowing over the building and the dazzling sunlight.
"I'm sorry" Hyun Jae said
"I know it will be very difficult for you to say, therefore..." Hyun Jae's words hung, he opened his eyes and looked at Hyo Joo.
"That's why I'm the one who will make unilateral decisions, just like before. My stupidity is a disease. And I told you that even if you kick me I will still stick to you. So I think, if it's from me, it might hurt more, but everyone's scorn will come at me, so it's fine because I don't want to hurt you further"
Hyun jae's eyes filled with tears
"Let's break up" Hyun Jae's words finally really make everything end
Hyun Jae then let go of her hand and walked away from Hyo Joo.
Hyun Jae walks into the hotel room his family has rented. he threw his body in his bed and fell asleep, he was no longer able to do anything. his legs were tired and his mind tired.
Hyo Joo walked out of the building, she got on the bus, and went back to her dorm.
upon arrival at the dorm she immediately changed her clothes and walked to the convenient store where she worked part-time. as if nothing had happened Hyo Joo continued her work.
"hello, did you bring your shopping bags?" Hyo Joo asked a customer who bought a box of biscuits and some ice cream.
"no" the customer replied, that customer was none other than Hyun Min. he was still wearing a neat suit but with a slightly glommy face.
Hyo Joo looks up and looks at Hyun Min, tears streaming down her face.
Hyun Min looked around, no one was there. he takes a bold step by walking behind the counter and hugs Hyo Joo.
"its okay" Hyun Min whisper in Hyo Joo's ear
