“Exactly as I thought. Yes, this one. Yura, you look truly beautiful.”
“Ho-ho, thank you. Mother.”
Watching Yura’s bright smile, Lee Hyun also thought anew how pretty she was.
Although Yura was naturally beautiful, she had never been more than just a friend’s sister to Lee Hyun, who didn’t much care for looks. But now, standing before him, Yura looked as beautiful as an elegant swan by the lake.
Caught off guard, Lee Hyun was snapped out of his daze by Mi-hee’s teasing.
“How can you be like this with such a beautiful bride?”
At his mother’s reprimand, he had no reply but to retort in a colder tone.
“That’s enough meddling.”
“Who’s meddling?”
Mi-hee playfully rolled her eyes, then picking up her coat, she gave a parting instruction.
“Well, I’ll be off then. Make sure to feed Yura something nice, something healthy. She looks a bit thin, maybe because of all the work and wedding preparations.”
“She’s always been slim.”
“Then you should take even more care to feed her well. It must be tough balancing work and wedding plans.”
Lee Hyun recalled the recent tiredness visible on Yura’s face. He pondered if the hurried wedding schedule, mainly to keep Sejin from having second thoughts, was too demanding. Yura’s increasingly frail appearance worried him.
“Let’s go, for dinner.”
“Aren’t you busy?”
Checking his watch and about to call a restaurant, Lee Hyun paused at Yura’s comment.
“I don’t have time.”
Surprised that she didn’t even have time for a meal, Lee Hyun frowned, but Yura, nonchalantly putting on her coat, replied casually.
“I’m a bit swamped with the second-half concert planning. Let’s have dinner some other time. Is that okay?”
“I’ll drive you.”
“No, it’s fine.”
Lee Hyun felt a pang of disappointment. Yura seemed to reflexively decline everything he suggested.
“Sleep on the way. You look tired.”
Yura brushed her reflection in the mirror with the back of her hand, murmuring, “It’s not that bad,” before reluctantly following Lee Hyun.
Time was passing swiftly, and work progressed smoothly. Lee Hyun was bothered by Yura’s increasingly somber mood in the past few days.
Wondering if Sejin had stirred trouble again, he checked but found no recent interactions between them. The only notable event was Yura’s recent visit to her family home, her first since notifying them about the wedding.
Considering Yura’s strained relationship with her father, Jin Kang-soo, Lee Hyun realized the visit must have been significant. He pressed Jin Yoo-gun for details, concluding that some mediation might be necessary.
“Does it suit your taste?” Lee Hyun asked politely, to which Jin Kang-soo responded with satisfaction while eyeing the elegantly presented food.
“Excellent.”
“And how about you, brother?”
Jin Yoo-gun flinched as he reached for his chopsticks.
He never imagined a day would come when he would hear ‘big brother’ from the likes of Baek Lee Hyun, who never cared for such formalities. That’s why hearing it was both strange and uncomfortable for him.
“Baek Lee Hyun, it’s awkward. Let’s stick to how we’ve always been.”
“Ah, but since we’re soon to be family, we should observe formalities.”
At Kang-soo’s nagging, Yoo-gun finally set down his chopsticks. He simply couldn’t muster the will to continue eating. Though he had endured such rigidness all his life, it had begun to feel increasingly burdensome lately.
“Father, we can observe formalities after the wedding. I wish we could dine more comfortably.”
“Are you starting to take after your sister now? Tsk.”
Lee Hyun, uncharacteristically cold, watched Yoo-gun’s subdued eyes, then buttered up Kang-soo with words he would like to hear.
“He’ll get used to it soon enough. He’s excellent at picking up new things. No need to worry too much.”
“Hmm.”
The meal continued quietly, and Lee Hyun, remembering the purpose of this gathering, observed Kang-soo closely.
“I’ve heard that you’re planning to bring Yura back home.”
“Did Yura say that?”
Kang-soo frowned slightly, his expression somewhat sour.
A few days ago, Kang-soo had called Yura home. With the wedding preparations in full swing, and not wanting to appear unfavorable to CH, he thought it best to teach Yura everything she needed to know. He believed a wife’s duty was to manage the household quietly, rather than unnecessarily working at a company.
He thought she needed to learn more etiquette and how to behave at public events, or else she might tarnish his reputation.
But Yura immediately reacted irritably.
“Come home? Why all of a sudden?”
“For wedding preparations and to learn housekeeping.”
“I’m managing the wedding preparations fine, and I don’t need to worry about housekeeping.”
Kang-soo, intending to speak kindly, became louder as Yura remained stubborn.
“You plan to continue working even after marriage?”
“Yes.”
“Jin Yura!”
“Dear, calm down. And Yura, stop being like this.”
Kang-soo was increasingly irked by his daughter’s unyielding nature.
