The younger man's direct approach
46
“...You really came.”
"Of course, it's your wedding."
“I didn’t know you’d come… Honestly… It’s uncomfortable for both of us…”
“...I wanted to see you smile.”
“You must have had a hard time because of me and Yoon Joo-hyun..”
“You’re the brightest when you’re with Director Jeon... haha”
Today is my, very, very happy wedding, Jungkook's. Since Jungkook's company is not an ordinary company, the wedding was quite extravagant. A spacious venue, elaborate decorations, and countless guests. Having worked at a small business, I only had seven guests. And Manager Kim was one of them. I sent him an invitation just out of courtesy, but I never thought he'd actually come. And I never imagined I'd see him with such sad eyes.
“...Thank you for coming.”
“While you’re here, eat lots of delicious food.”
“..Am I very uncomfortable..?”
"...yes?"
“You’re the main character today… I wonder if you’re feeling depressed because of me for no reason...”
“If you’re uncomfortable, I’ll leave. Don’t make that face, just smile.”
“...It’s not uncomfortable, it’s all memories..”
“I called you, sir, but if you were uncomfortable, you wouldn’t have called me.”
“...Yeah”
I agonized over why she'd invited me. Was I even worthy of coming here? Was I confident I wouldn't be hurt by seeing her happy with another man? But I missed her so much. If anything, I wanted them to end with a smile on their faces. It's a shameless act, but... I hope she doesn't remember me as such a bad guy.
“..I’ll be in soon.”
“Don’t be so nervous.. Live happily with your husband.”
“I hope things like marital fights don’t happen.”
“I hope you’re happy, really.. hehe”
“You’ll be happy. Me too, and you too, sir.”
“..Okay...ㅎ Congratulations on your wedding.. See you later.”
“The groom and bride are entering!!”
Wow-!!! The host's words erupted into thunderous cheers and applause. I held hands with Jungkook and took each step forward. With each step, marriage to Jungkook felt more real. Could I really fulfill my role as a wife, or a mother? Could I live happily ever after? What if things fell apart? I felt like I had countless worries and concerns in that short journey. My desire to be the perfect woman for Jungkook_
“Will you love the groom, Jeon Jungkook, until his black hair turns gray?”
"yes..!"
“Will the groom, Jeon Jung-guk, love the bride, Go Yeo-ju, until her black hair turns gray?”
“I will only look at Go Yeo-ju and love only Go Yeo-ju for the rest of my life!”
It was a truly happy wedding. I'll never forget that moment when we pledged our love for each other in front of everyone. I wasn't confident about married life, but because of Jungkook, I felt like I could muster up the courage to do it. As long as I have Jungkook, I can do anything for him.
“Sister, are you tired?”
“A little...? That’s okay.”
“You worked hard. It must have been hard dealing with so many people...”
“You do this every day, so I need to get used to it as the wife of our former director!!”
“Phew...ㅋㅋㅋ Yes, as Jeon Jungkook’s wife!!”
“ㅋㅋㅋI love you.”
“I love you more”
I don't know how the wedding ended. What I remember now is... Jungkook's thick...sob... Anyway, I realized that it was really hard to take it all while managing my facial expressions in front of so many people. Jungkook has lived like this since he was little... It's suffocating, it's suffocating. But now all that's left is the honeymoon that we've been waiting and waiting for-!! I'm so happy😆
“Sleep a little on the way.”
"I'll wake you up when I get there."
"Hmm... Is that so..?"
“Sleep well, I can’t sleep at night.”
"...Huh? Why can't you sleep at night? "
“Why, there’s something I’ve been waiting for ever since I met you.”
“Now that we’re married, I can do whatever I want at night, right?”
