146 – Not Childhood Friends, But Husband and Wife (End of the Main Story)

In the mirror, I see myself dressed in a neat suit, with light makeup on, something I don’t usually do. My hair, neatly slicked back with wax, looks awkward as well.

“Oh, bro. It suits you quite well.”

As I was looking at myself in the mirror, my girlfriend, or rather, my wife’s younger sister, Han Yu-jin, playfully spoke to me.

The wedding hall staff who were helping with the grooming also smiled brightly and nodded.

“You are so handsome, Mr. Groom.”

“That’s right, I’m envious of a wife who marries a man like this.”

“…Is that so?”

Even though I knew it was just empty words for service, I scratched my head awkwardly at the pouring praise.

Yes, today is none other than the long-awaited wedding, the monumental day when our new life, not mine, begins.

Honestly, even at this moment, it doesn’t feel real. I can’t believe this day has come, that I’m going to end up with my childhood friend who I used to fight with like we’re going to eat each other up in high school.

I unconsciously clenched and unclenched my fists as if I was floating above the clouds. If I hadn’t been watching, I would have pinched my cheeks. It was that dreamlike.

“Now, please go out and say hello to the guests. When the time comes, another staff member will guide you.”

“thank you.”

Finally, the two staff members who had helped me adjust my clothes left the groom’s waiting room, and I was left behind. I had to catch my breath before I could get up from my seat.

As I was about to do that, Han Yu-jin came up to me and looked up at me with a playful smile.

“How are you, Oppa? Are you a little nervous because it’s your wedding day?”

“It’s not a little, it’s a lot, you know.”

Suddenly.

I roughly pushed away Han Yu-jin, who kept nagging me, and pulled the doorknob of the waiting room, heading out. The hall was already overflowing with guests and wedding hall staff moving busily around.

Most of them will be Yuna’s guests. Since she has been in the entertainment industry for quite some time and has accumulated so many connections, she has prepared quite a few invitations.

Assuming all those people came… how many are there, I have no idea.

“I’ll go see my sister, see you later, oppa.”

“okay.”

As Han Yu-jin, who had been making a lot of noise next to me, disappeared toward the bridal waiting room, two people came toward me from the reception desk as if to switch places with her.

“Oh, you’re here? I know you’re both busy, but thank you for coming.”

I expected them to come, but I didn’t know they would arrive so early, so I expressed my joy with a slightly surprised expression. The other person was none other than the couple Choi Min-seong and Kim Soo-bin.

“What’s so busy about being unemployed? Anyway, congratulations today.”

“Congratulations on your wedding, Shiyoon. I think this is the first time I’ve seen you dressed up like that.”

“I rarely have a chance to wear a suit. It makes me so awkward, man.”

At Kim Soo-bin’s comment, he pretended to pull on his clothes and smiled as if he was fed up.

When I first start working at a company or attend certain events, I have no choice but to wear a suit, but no matter when I wear it, I feel like it doesn’t suit me.

If you wear this, it makes you feel like you have to be calm for no reason. Anyway, it doesn’t suit me at all.

“By the way, you’ll be graduating next year too. Are your preparations going well?”

Unlike me, Choi Min-seong finished his military service early, so he finished his return to school and is currently preparing for graduation. I haven’t heard any details about his future plans, but he said he doesn’t have any specific dreams yet.

The only thing he had been thinking about was saving up some money in advance to start a small startup company, but it seems his thoughts have changed recently.

“I don’t know. My advisor is trying to persuade me to come to his lab, so I’m thinking about it….”

“Would you like to volunteer for a life of slavery?”

“Hey, do you really have to be so picky when someone is having a hard time?”

I burst out laughing at Hyeja’s reaction, which was so unlike Minseong Choi.

Well, honestly, he’s a guy who can do well on his own no matter which path he chooses, so it would be foolish of me to ask and dig into him. I just hope he doesn’t have to suffer so much.

“So, Kim Soo-bin, what about you? Did you take the teacher certification exam?”

“Yeah, I’m getting ready. There’s about a month left.”

“Cheer up. If you pass, Yuna and I will have a big fight.”

“Really? Now I have one more reason to pass, hehe.”

On the other hand, Kim Soo-bin wants to be a math teacher and is pursuing a course in that field. He graduated last year, just like me, and is currently preparing for the teacher certification exam, and it seems like the atmosphere is pretty good.

Even in high school, he often taught Han Yu-na when I wasn’t there, and he was a guy who was far superior in teaching others, so I think he’ll do well. Math in particular was Kim Soo-bin’s specialty subject.

“Ah, Siyoon!”

While we were spending time asking and answering each other about our recent activities, a familiar voice was heard from somewhere. When I turned my head, there was none other than the president, the current head of Jane Entertainment, Mr. Cho Jae-young.

“Sir, thank you for coming despite your busy schedule.”

“No, of course you should have come. Were you talking to your acquaintances? I didn’t interrupt you.”

“Yes, it’s okay. He disappeared when he said he was going to see his high school friends.”

He smiled as he shook the hand the boss offered him. Whether it was then or now, he was a very kind person.

“By the way, you two are finally getting married… I’ve been thinking about so many things. It’s funny that I’m saying this when I’m not even your parents.”

“Hey, the boss is almost like an adoptive father to me. He took such good care of Yuna and me.”

It would be no exaggeration to say that the fact that my relationship with Yuna has progressed to this point is all thanks to the CEO. Not only did he allow us to go public with our relationship, but he also helped me get hired at Jane Entertainment and work with me.

In addition, I heard that the contract renewal for Armo was possible with good conditions because the CEO had a lot of influence. He said that he tried to meet the conditions by considering Yuna’s position as much as possible rather than the company’s position.

“We also have a lot to be thankful for. In fact, this contract renewal would have almost fallen through if it weren’t for you.”

“What about me? It was thanks to the company and the CEO that Yuna was able to make up her mind like that.”

Although it is true that I tried to dissuade Yuna from renewing her contract and working only as a solo artist, I do not think that Armo’s reunion is all due to me.

I guess I made this choice because I still had good members, a good company, and a good CEO in my heart. I just gave them a little push.

“I appreciate you thinking that way. Anyway, I sincerely congratulate you on your wedding today. Please continue your relationship with Yuna for a long time and happily.”

“Yes, sir.”

I nodded firmly at the sincere words of wisdom that were spoken while placing a hand on my shoulder.

The president, who had been watching the scene with pleasure, turned his back and said that he would watch from the guest seats before leaving to say hello to other acquaintances.

After being left behind like that, I continued to greet guests who came to visit, and tried to treat each and every one of them with the utmost sincerity.

When I think of all these people who came to bless our new day, I always feel new and grateful even when I hear the same proverbs or similar words. It is truly amazing.

“Groom, you should start getting ready soon….”

“Oh, yes. I’ll go now.”

Only after hearing the words of the wedding hall staff who approached me soon after did I realize that it was time, and I hurriedly walked away.

I hadn’t even walked that far when my heart started pounding like it was going to burst.

***

There is one unwritten rule in weddings: the groom cannot see the bride until the ceremony begins.

Of course, I’ve heard that these days, as times change, there are more places that don’t do that, but that unwritten rule still applied to our wedding. My parents had insisted on it until this morning, so I couldn’t help but follow it.

Why was such an unwritten rule created?

I walked down the street to the sound of people’s applause and entered first, and while waiting for Yuna to enter, I suddenly had such a silly thought.

– Next comes the appearance of the bride who made the groom the enemy of all people.

And that question was answered shortly after the host’s comments ended.

♪~♬

An elegant melody resonates, and Yuna’s figure is finally revealed beyond the hidden tent.

Her pitiful appearance wrapped in a pure white dress, her blushing blush perhaps due to her bridal makeup, added to her shyness. I was completely captivated by the sight of Yuna carefully taking one step at a time while holding her father’s hand.

It was only then that I realized that the reason the groom was told not to see the bride before the wedding was because the sages were worried that the groom would be completely consumed by thoughts of her and not be able to properly conduct the wedding.

Yuna’s appearance was that beautiful. Not only did she look great in a silk wedding dress, but her radiant appearance, which was different from the idol Yuna I had seen on stage, made my mind dizzy.

“Please take good care of my daughter, Siyoon.”

“Yes, Master.”

Today was the first time I heard the word ‘master’ come out of my mouth.

It felt strangely awkward to call someone I always called uncle by a new title, but it didn’t feel bad at all. It was as if I was experiencing the change in our relationship.

So he took Yuna’s hand and stood in front of the stage.

Honestly, I don’t remember much of what the host or officiant said. My mind was just completely absorbed by the pretty bride next to me, and I couldn’t figure out what to do.

“… Foot.”

“ah….”

Did she sense my gaze? The moment we faced each other for the vowed kiss, Yuna let out a small laugh.

I instinctively avoided eye contact out of embarrassment at the thought of not being able to show myself as a trustworthy husband until the wedding day, but Yuna placed both hands on my chest as if asking me to look only at her.

And then,

“Chooo… .”

He stood up on a small step and placed his lips on mine.

The faint scent of peach and freesia mixed together, making my nose and head dizzy. Although I had kissed many times, at this moment, my face turned red like a bachelor’s.

“Okay, now it’s your turn.”

“…Can I do it twice?”

“So what, that’s just us.”

I was honestly a little embarrassed when Yuna immediately opened her lips and made the request again, but I couldn’t help but burst out laughing after hearing her brief explanation.

Well, ‘that’s just like us.’ That might be the right thing to say.

Even though we live happily every day, we fight whenever we get a chance, and sometimes we live our lives as we please, sometimes like fools, but we always have happiness by our side. We are used to finding our own happiness.

So quickly convinced, this time I grabbed Yuna’s chin, lowered my head, and kissed her lips.

When we finally separated again, Yuna was smiling with a happier expression than I had ever seen her before, a tear running down her left eye.

“I will continue to love you hard, honey.”

It’s not ‘Love me.’ It’s ‘I will love you.’

I feel like I can feel Yuna’s sincerity towards me just from those words.

I decided to live my life cherishing this feeling. I made that firm resolution and smiled at my wife, no longer my girlfriend.

So we finally went from being childhood friends to a married couple.
