Chapter 68 – Episode 68

Did I buy it sooner than expected?

When we came inside from the outdoors, there were still many people walking around.

In the distance, I saw Bon Kyu-hyung, dressed in a suit, greeting each and every guest with a bright smile. Even though it might be difficult, I think that if I were the host of the wedding, each and every guest would be happy.

Congratulatory money is also congratulatory money. Because on such an auspicious occasion, at least one person wants to receive congratulations from many people.

“…”

Suddenly, sorry hits me like an uppercut. Did I do such a crazy thing on such an auspicious occasion? No. If you think about it…

“What?”

“No. “Nothing.”

What. It’s true that I felt good.

I walked away holding the gift envelope with Ohana.

“Welcome.”

“Hello. “I’m Bon Gyu-hyung’s junior.”

“Ah. Nice to meet you. Thank you so much for coming.”

When I handed over the crooked envelope with Kim Hyun-woo’s name written on it, the person who seemed to be his older brother politely accepted it.

“Meal tickets… Ah. Here are two.”

How many would you like to reflexively give?

… As I was about to ask, he immediately took out two sheets and handed them to me. I accepted the meal ticket with an awkward smile.

The reason he gave me two copies was very simple.

Because Ohana was literally sticking next to me like a piece of gum. No. The gum just falls off. This was a piece of gum that had no intention of falling.

He turns his head eagerly, swishing, and becomes very alert to his surroundings. Anyone who sees it will think it’s not a wedding hall, but somewhere in the jungle.

Even that look is so cute that I can’t say anything.

“Oh, Hyunwoo!”

As I was putting the meal ticket deep into my jacket pocket so as not to lose it, Bon Gyu-hyung, who had been greeting me, now approached me.

Hairstyle and makeup that give you the most strength. They say it’s all about money. Now that I see it, I understand why other people admired Ohana’s styling. Because her light styling was as good as what she paid for.

“You were so stylish today that I almost didn’t recognize you.”

“You really look great today.”

“Is the person next to you your girlfriend? Wow, you’re gorgeous.”

“Brother, I sincerely congratulate you on your marriage.”

There was no time for long conversations. As he looked at the crowd of customers coming in, Bon Gyu-hyeong said while holding my shoulders with both hands.

“Hyeonwoo, thank you so much for coming today. “Brother, I’ll buy you a meal next time.”

“No. It’s okay.”

“No. I’m sorry my brother is a little busy today. “Let’s talk more at the ceremony.”

“Yes. Brother.”

This is Bon Gyu-hyung, who takes care of me with sincerity even when he is busy, and then runs towards new customers and makes similar comments.

At the same time, someone who appears to be a restaurant employee comes and says something to Bon Gyu-hyung.

Maybe it’s because Bon Gyu-hyung is not the only one getting married here today. Everyone was very busy.

Looking at it, the question of how much money was spent on this wedding comes to mind. Is this too Philistine?

But from what I heard, it was called Seudme. I think I heard somewhere that the average cost of studio dress makeup alone is 3 million won.

“Let’s go in.”

“Oki.”

Ohana and I went inside, arm in arm. I’m sure it’s because we’re at the end. Or perhaps Bon Gyu-hyung’s personal connections are great.

Ironically, the place was full. Is it really like this? I heard that in the case of hotel weddings, there are not enough seats because a meal is eaten along with the wedding ceremony.

‘There are a lot of people.’

Actually, it wouldn’t matter if I was alone. Since Ohana came with me, I felt a sense of responsibility to take care of her, so I looked for an empty seat.

Ohana said with a grin.

“Stand and watch. Just. I’m actually glad that this looks much better. “What?”

“It doesn’t matter as long as it doesn’t make you uncomfortable.”

“Omg. “Do you think I’m going to be uncomfortable just because I’m waiting outside for hours in the middle of winter just to see my brothers’ faces?”

“Okay. “You are amazing.”

I nodded my head and looked around the wedding hall. I can see my older brothers and classmates from the same department sitting in the middle in the distance.

Other than that, I don’t know anyone. It looks like quite a few of the bride’s guests came as well.

Luxurious interior with a luxurious table. Luxurious lighting. Cameras waiting to take pictures here and there.

Bon Gyu-hyung’s friend doing a microphone test to become the emcee.

“…”

As I watch from behind, I can clearly see how much effort is put into the wedding, which lasts only about an hour at most.

-Ahhh. Microphone test. One. Two. Three.

In the past, I thought all of this was a waste of money. What kind of wedding costs tens of millions of won? It would be better to buy home appliances with that money. Or go to a better place for your honeymoon. I thought it would be better to save a little more.

A wedding is important for the parties involved, but I reluctantly agreed when I heard that it was more for the parents.

I feel different again today.

“It’s pretty.”

My heart skipped a beat as I heard Ohana’s voice beside her, sounding like she was truly admiring it. Even to me, a person with little artistic sense, the wedding venue looked gorgeous and sparkling.

So, if you are a woman who knows what art is or likes such things, how much do you look forward to and feel beautiful about this wedding?

‘I want the woman who marries me to be the happiest. It is somewhat understandable that she is wasting money on a wedding that may only happen once in her life.’

At that moment, an auditory hallucination rang in my ears.

‘Congratulations on your wedding. Hyunwoo!’

The voice I heard in her dream today

Okay. It must be an auditory hallucination. I have doubts about my future, just in case. What are the chances of that happening?

Ohana. Han Ae Bom. Suah Yoon.

The fact that these three started living together with me for their own reasons is literally lower than the odds of winning the lottery in a row.

But I’m even getting married to one of those three? Does that make you feel like it’s the greatest decision ever? What was the greatest decision of all time in the first place? What did I do that everyone says is amazing?

‘No. I would have felt like I had used up all the luck in my life just by marrying a beautiful woman. Is that really that great?’

But when I think back, it wasn’t that nuance. A nuance that makes you feel like you’ve done something really crazy.

‘Crazy guy.’

In the meantime, he was hallucinating. I had decided several times that it wasn’t the future, but I was secretly looking forward to it.

Let’s stop. How many times have you had expectations like that only to be betrayed? If you have high expectations, you will be disappointed, and if you have no expectations, you will not be disappointed and hurt.

‘Ah. Gyujin-hyung’s daughter is so cute, even from far away.’

It’s an ugly 4-year-old. People who speak harshly are described as 4-year-olds who want to kill someone. It didn’t look that way at all to me.

I was sitting in the middle seat, playing around with Gyujin and laughing. I can’t envy that in the world. He really looks so happy. If I have a daughter, I will be able to play with her like that all day.

Is this my daughter at the wedding?

「Slap!」

“It’s a surprise. Why are you hitting yourself in the face all of a sudden? Are you suddenly sleepy? If you’re sleepy, can you at least give me a deep kiss here? “I wake up when I’m excited.”

“No. In other words, I hit him with the feeling of waking up.”

Perhaps I should have become a novel writer. What kind of delusion continues so endlessly?

Stop it.

“Hook!”

The host opened his mouth with a sound that would make anyone who served in the military think of PTSD.

-Hello. We would like to provide guidance to our guests who have made this valuable step.

The typical emcee’s comments continue.

-The side I’m on is the groom’s side, and the one on the right is the bride’s side. Let me say it again. The side I’m on is the groom’s side, and that side is the bride’s side. To those who are currently unable to sit down due to a lack of seats, I, as a friend, would like to apologize on behalf of my inexperienced but lovely groom-to-be.

There is definitely a reason for appointing a host. Well, people may have different likes and dislikes. He was a trustworthy person who proceeded smoothly and without the slightest trembling.

After that, there was a pre-ceremony video, declaration of the opening ceremony, entrance of the mothers of both families, lighting of flower candles, etc.

Various turns continue.

-Next, the groom, Yoon Bon-gyu, who has worked really hard for this day, will enter. We ask the guests to give us a round of applause! Groom enters! Please give us a round of applause!

There was thunderous applause along with small shouts. Since there are definitely a lot of guests, the power of applause is no joke.

Also, do both sides have good connections? Everyone applauded really hard.

The groom is walking with bright lights. I feel like I’m walking really creaky. They smile and wave here and there. To me, it looks like a broken robot.

‘It’s funny. I’m jealous again.’

Marriage is hell these days. Marriage is the grave of life. Even though there are various negative comments about the birth rate of 0.6. When I came to a wedding like this and watched other people’s weddings, all I could think of was positive thoughts and envy.

Well, if you think about the manager of a convenience store, the reality may not be that easy. Nevertheless, looking at the happy face that followed the difficult expression, the marriage didn’t seem that bad.

Especially if they are good people like the women I am currently living with in a studio apartment.

-I can see the groom is nervous. This shouldn’t be happening anymore. I will be so stunned when the bride who is more beautiful than anyone else enters today.

Depending on who says something like that, you might think it’s overkill. When someone like Ohana was good at speaking, it was easy to listen to anything.

And.

-Of course, the highlight of the ceremony would be the bride’s entrance, which is more beautiful than flowers. Please give a big round of applause when the bride enters. Then! Priest! Entrance!! Please give generous applause to the most beautiful bride in the world.

“Clap clap!”

「♬」

Tremendous applause. Background music that makes your heart pound. Gorgeous lighting. You pay a lot of money just to rent it, and even the extravagance of a wedding dress that requires help just to put it on and enter.

I now understand why it is said that a bride at a wedding is a more beautiful flower than anyone else.

The women were staring intently at the bride wearing a wedding dress and walking toward the groom without blinking. Including Ohana.

Everyone probably had a sense of celebration, but there were also a variety of other emotions.

“…”

Taking advantage of that opportunity, I pretended to clap and looked at Ohana next to her, not at her bride. In her mind, she was imagining herself in her wedding dress.

‘How can I not have expectations?’

Let’s not expect it again and again. Even if I try to face the reality that what I saw today is nothing like the future. The human mind wasn’t something that could be controlled that way.

Then it would be better… Wouldn’t it be better to turn what you thought was just a dream into reality?

-This concludes the wedding ceremony of the groom, Yoon Bon-gyu, and the bride, Lee Joo-ri!

While I was thinking about various things with a complicated mind. Before we knew it, the wedding was over.

“There will be photo taking from now on, so I would appreciate it if my acquaintances could show up until the end.”

Wait for a sec. Taking photos?

At those words, I carefully raised my head. I see people gathering in one place in the distance. Choi Do-hyung and Ji Seon-hye were also included in it.
