– Volume 6 Episode 23

23. Blessed Day (3)

I can’t even remember how I got home.

When she heard the voices leaking out of the office, she felt like she was twisting and throbbing, and by the time she woke up, she was already home.

Hoyoung sat on the floor, leaned against the bed, and looked up at the dimmed LED lights hanging from the ceiling.

She didn’t want to think about anything.

If she opened the door to her thoughts, even the smallest things, the reality she didn’t want to admit would not look at her and she felt like she was going to stir up her mind.

The one she thought she had been a friend was not an ally.

In Hoyoung’s head, the conversations of the teachers he had just heard began to come to mind.

As they came to mind one by one, tears flowed from Hoyoung’s eyes like a broken faucet.

Hoyoung’s eyes, with her tears flowing down, were empty without focus.

He thought he had nothing left.

‘It’s painful… I don’t want to live like this anymore…’

With that thought in mind, he raised her right hand to wipe the tears away with the back of his hand.

Only then did Ho-young realize that he was still holding his cutter knife.

A cutter knife stained red with Go player’s blood.

Ho-young sees it and puts into action the thought he should not have.

Shoot ah-.

The small bathroom located in the corner behind the bride’s waiting room on the 7th floor of the Elysia Wedding Hall was out of sight, so people who haven’t seen the structure of the building don’t even know it exists.

The toilet located right near the elevator was very large, and there were not many guests on the 7th floor today, so no one had to look for another toilet, so Hoyoung was the only one who visited this toilet today.

Water drops were dripping from Ho-young’s jawline and bangs, who was holding his sink with both hands and bowing his head.

“Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.”

After exhaling his breath to calm him down, Hoyoung turned off the faucet in the sink and wiped the water off his face with his hand towel.

‘Maybe the day will come when you will realize those words. …If it had really succeeded then, it would have been a reality that we would not have known forever.’

With that in mind, Hoyoung rolled up his sleeve slightly and looked down at his left wrist.

There were thin, thick and long scars engraved there.

“……”In the memory of the perpetrator, it is only a fleeting moment, but in the memory of the victim, it is remembered as a very long, eternity.

Those who should be remembered are forgotten, but those who should be forgotten remain forever in the minds of those who need to be forgotten.

It was wretched, angry, and heartbreaking.

“…I can’t do this now.”

Today was a day to be happy, joyful and blessed.

On a day like that, if you have this kind of heart, you will be a nuisance to those around you.

Ho-young thought so, slapped her cheeks, smiled brightly and checked her face in the mirror.

He had an uninvited and awkward guest, but he was not to show off.

“I’m fine, I’m fine.”

Ho-young, who had been brainwashing herself, left the bathroom with a bright smile and headed to the bride’s waiting room to see Lee Ye-sook’s face.

Since the wedding was just before the start, all the guests were seated, so only Lee Ye-sook and the staff to help him in the bride’s waiting room remained.

But for some reason, Ye-sook Lee’s face was a little stiff.

“…Son, are you okay?”

Lee Ye-sook, who found Ho-young, spat out her words as if worried.

Hearing those words, Ho-young could guess that Lee Dae-hyun had also visited the bride’s waiting room.

“I’m fine. So, unless you’re going to the ceremony in that state, straighten your face. What if today’s protagonist is droopy?”

“son…….”

“Hey, don’t cry. Crying is in front of Grandpa later, right?”

“……yea, I got it.”

When Lee Ye-sook showed a hard-working smile, Ho-young smiled brightly as if in response to it, and first entered the ceremonial hall and took a seat right behind the parents’ seat on the bride’s side.

Then, at the right time, all the lights in the hall were turned off, and soft music played.

Eventually, the lights fell on the podium standing on one side of the ceremonial hall, and Choi Chang-min, who served as the host, began to spit out comments.

“Hello, my name is Choi Chang-min, who is in charge of today’s wedding. He is the one who even changed the diaper for Baek Jae-gun, the groom, one of the main characters of the day.

As if it was a word that came from the heart rather than a formal comment, Choi Changmin smirked slightly and rubbed the tip of his nose with his finger.

“Today’s wedding will be held without an officiating ceremony, so the guests’ great cooperation is required. Please be with generosity until the end. Then, from now on, the wedding of the groom Baek Jae-gun and the bride Ye-sook Lee will begin!”

When Choi Chang-min finished his words, a thunderous applause erupted.

With the sound of applause as the background music, Changmin Choi announced the fire, and lights came on in the middle of the ceremony hall to illuminate the way.

The Elysia Wedding Hall was unusually lined with white molding trees on both sides of the central road, and when they were lit up, they gave the illusion of trees scattering light powder.

Receiving the light powder, Kang Eun-young and Yang Su-jin, a senior of Lee Ye-sook, entered the ceremony holding hands.

Yang Su-jin, Lee Ye-sook’s senior, and her husband, Bang Jeong-hoon, were like parents to Lee Ye-sook.

Because they were such people, Ye-Sook Lee asked the two of them to sit in her parents’ seat, and they happily accepted it.

Kang Eun-young and Yang Su-jin, who entered the ceremony, lit candles on both sides of the ceremonial table at the same time, greeted the guests, and took their seats.

“Father-in-law, if your eyes are already moist, what are you going to do when you enter the room?”

“Hey, what makes my eyes moist. My tears aren’t that cheap.”

At Baek Yun-taek’s words, Kang Eun-young smiled silently, and then Choi Chang-min spoke into her microphone and opened her mouth.

“Next, the main character of the day, the groom, will be in. We ask for a big round of applause from the guests when the groom enters. …Groom enters!”

Then, the quiet music changed to a powerful piano performance and spread throughout the ceremony with the sound of applause.

Perhaps Baek Jae-gun was also influenced by the music, and after hardening his face, he quickly walked with a fairly wide stride to the end of the road, and Choi Chang-min, who saw it, smiled out loud enough that it didn’t bother him.

“Hahahaha! It seems that the groom is very nervous. This is not the way to go so quickly… Well, that means that you want to see the bride as soon as possible. For the beautiful bride, we ask for a bigger round of applause than the groom. Enter the bride!”

The song of her wedding march rang out in her hall, and Ye-sook Lee, wearing a white wedding dress, took Jeong-hoon Bang’s hand and moved her slowly.

The long veil and her dress were drawn to her pure white floor as she walked slowly, and her dress rippled like a pure white river, and Ye Sook Lee was like a swan boasting a beautiful figure on the pure white river.

The light powder from the trees falling on her was letting her know that she was the most beautiful and deserved blessing at this moment.

At the end of the road, Baek Jae-geon’s eyes widened in surprise.

He had already seen it once, but what he saw inside the kidney was also different.

“Please take good care of our Ye-sook.”

“Yes, brother!”

Bang Jeong-hoon, who arrived in front of Baek Jae-geon, handed Ye-sook Lee’s hand to him and returned to his seat.

Arriving in front of the main ceremony, the two greeted each other as a couple according to Choi Chang-min’s words, and then turned towards the guests.

At that time, as if woven, the gazes of Baek Jae-geon and Lee Ye-sook moved to Baek Yun-taek and Kang Eun-young, and then to Yang Su-jin and Bang Jeong-hoon, and finally stopped on Ho-yeong, who was sitting behind them.

The warm smiles of the two seemed to warm Hoyoung’s heart as well.

At this moment, Ho-young’s head was only filled with the present happiness, so he couldn’t remember meeting Lee Dae-hyun, so he was able to sincerely bless them.

After that, Baek Jae-gun and Lee Ye-sook’s marriage declaration was read, and Baek Yun-taek was in charge of the reading of the marriage declaration.

He maintained a firm expression throughout the reading of the Marriage Proclamation, but his reddened eyes let him know that he was congratulating them more than anyone else.

After the reading of the Holy Marriage Declaration was finished, a congratulatory speech was held.

A lot of people sang congratulatory songs for the two of them, both the groom’s guests and the bride’s guests.

The person who tapped Ho-young on the shoulder was Jo Han-cheol, the representative of My Wedding.

“Hey, son. Should I prepare soon?”

“Yes.”Ho-young got up at Jo Han-cheol’s words and held a microphone in one hand and a rose in the other in a dark corner near the entrance to the ceremony, closed her eyes and waited for all the congratulatory songs to be finished.

During the previous proposal, Ye-Sook Lee intercepted Jae-Gun Baek’s proposal.

Back then, rebuilding Baek was only very happy and happy, but after a while, he started to get upset that he didn’t make the proposal in the end.

So this time, she wanted to repay Lee Ye-sook for her proposal, so she planned her anthem with the help of My Wedding.

In addition, because of Baek Jae-geon’s words that she only helps Lee Ye-suk and she doesn’t help herself, Ho-young joined again.

‘If you think about it, the two have very similar personalities.’

As I was thinking such a foolish thought, I felt the lights go out over my closed eyelids.

At that time, Ho-young had her eyes closed in advance as planned from the beginning, and, relying on her eyes that had become accustomed to the darkness, she walked slowly through the center of the ceremony hall where the bride and groom had walked, making the sound of shoes.

Then, to that sound, singer Lee Joong-ki’s ‘Will You Get Married’, a song that always comes to mind at a wedding, came out, and in the dark, Hoyoung’s lyrics calmly spread through the speaker.

When Ho-young arrived right in front of Baek Jae-geun and Lee Ye-suk, the lights came back into the ceremony room to illuminate the bride and groom and Ho-young.

“We love each other and have children who resemble each other♪”

As her lights shone on him, Ho-Young continued to sing her song, handed Ye-Sook Lee a rose she had been hiding behind her back, and stepped back.

Lee Ye-sook, who received her rose, had a very surprised expression.

But the congratulations were not all.

As Hoyoung finished singing one verse of her song, the lights fell on her ceremonial seat.

And there, the staff of My Wedding, who had previously helped Ye-sook Lee’s proposal, received the light and slowly leaned out from behind her officiating seat and started singing the next verse.

“I want to live without getting sick with you for a thousand years and ten thousand years♪”

After that, people came out from under the stage of the host, under the tablecloths where the guests were sitting, and from behind the pillars, singing one verse at a time and handed Lee Ye-Sook a rose one by one.

They handed Lee Ye-sook her rose, and they settled around in a semicircle as if they were surrounded by Baek Jae-geun and Lee Ye-suk.

However, the seat right in front of Ye-sook Lee remained vacant.

The owner of the place was Baek Jae-geon, who was standing next to Lee Ye-sook.

As I had practiced in advance, when all the staff of My Wedding were seated, as if rebuilding the bag was nothing, I took out a rose from my arms and handed it to Ye-sook Lee, went back to the empty seat, took out the microphone from her arms, and continued singing.

“I’ll love you a little more♪”

“I’ll love you a little more…”

Hoyoung and the staff of My Wedding added harmony to Baek Jae-geon’s song.

As if practicing hard for this time was worthwhile, their harmony did not deviate even a single inch.

Ye-sook Lee shed tears of joy as she listened to such a congratulatory song.

Eventually, as the song came to an end, Baek Jae-geon spit out the last lyrics as if he were talking to himself indifferently.

“Will you marry me?”
