The day she first met young Serin flashed before her eyes. She remembered the vulnerable young Serin, who seemed like she wouldn’t open the door to her heart anytime soon. Mrs. Park worried whether Serin could live her whole life without hearing the sound of a mother once and die peacefully. As time went on, she naturally gave up because there seemed to be an unapproachable boundary between them, like a line of sight that couldn’t see beyond just one step.
But now, Serin closed that distance in an instant, calling her not a stepmother but Mom.
Surprised by the sudden gust of tears, the manager approached and supported her, asking, “Madam, are you okay?”
Only then did Serin turn around, her already large eyes widening even more, and she called her with a question.
“Mom? How did you… here?”
Upon hearing the word “mom” again, the tears that she had struggled to hold back welled up in Mrs. Park’s eyes. Tearfully, she approached Serin and spoke softly.
“Hehehe… Show me the most expensive one here. Our daughter… earns money well.”
Even in this moment, Mrs. Park didn’t forget to boast about her daughter.
On the day of the wedding.
The wedding took place at Mrs. Park’s villa in Gangwon Province.
While aiming for a modest small wedding, the attendees were so famous that strict security and numerous bodyguards made the wedding venue resemble a luxurious affair.
The timing was also quite special. Usually, weddings were held in the morning or around lunchtime, but they chose the evening, allowing guests to witness the sunset. Colorful lights were installed in the front garden of the villa to prepare for the darkening sky.
From the bride’s waiting room on the second floor of the villa, Serin looked down through the wide windows, still wearing a somewhat puzzled expression as if she couldn’t believe this wedding was happening.
However, today’s main character, Serin, was almost like an outsider as friends who came to congratulate her crowded around the glass, watching the wedding.
“Look at that! Isn’t that the CEO of LENSUN over there?”
“Huh? Really? Where? Where?”
“There… the one with the shaved head! Wearing a charcoal suit.”
“Oh, right! I’ve seen an interview with him! Wow! Am I really personally welcoming him?”
An unimpressed Serin finally spoke up.
“Boksil, guys… Today is my wedding day. Could you please pay some attention to me too?”
“Yeah, got it, lady. Drama queen.”
Regaining their interest, Boksil turned away, and other friends reluctantly moved away from the glass.
“Wow, incredible! Hey, isn’t that the person whose father passed away? Legendary.”
“Right. I thought your father was going to collapse and die during the wedding, insisting on finishing it no matter what.”
“True. Why did she cry and make a scene during the wedding with hypertension?”
“Oh, these guys are talking nonsense again. Hey, if you’re going to talk about that hypertension thing…”
As Boksil tried to start her speech again, Serin forcefully interrupted her.
“That’s in the past. Talking about it won’t change anything. I didn’t want a wedding like that. So, Boksil, please… can you stay quiet?”
Not knowing where Boksil might lead the conversation, she was more anxious than holding a ticking time bomb.
However, without Boksil, Serin’s wedding would be unimaginable. Still, she was the friend whose heart resonated the most.
When I was deeply wandering in my emotions, she was the one who helped me sort out my feelings about Taejun. So, she can be considered the main contributor to this wedding.
At that moment, someone peeked their face out from the door.
“Hey! Our CEO Baek! Seeing you like this, you look like a celebrity. No, no. It’s beyond comparison with celebrities!”
It was Manager Han Jeil, well-known for his carefree personality.
“Thanks. For not forgetting and inviting me.”
“It’s just a deal. Thanks to you, we tangled up Jo Minhyeong without a hitch.”
In fact, even if such a deal hadn’t taken place, Manager Han would have been an honored guest at her wedding.
As a capable individual, there was no competitor like him in this industry. They were friendly rivals who could look at each other and promote each other’s growth, and that was Manager Han Jeil.
“But business is prohibited at my wedding. You know that, right?”
Manager Han Jeil squinted his eyes, seemingly embarrassed. In reality, why was the wedding invitation part of the deal?
However, because it was not an ordinary wedding, Manager Han felt compelled to attend. It was the only opportunity to see famous figures gathered as Taejun’s guests.
“But if I keep looking at the bride for too long, the groom will get jealous, and my wife will nag me. So, I’ll disappear now! But congratulations on the wedding! You’re undoubtedly the best couple I’ve ever seen!”
Waving cheerfully, Manager Han exited. And shortly afterward, Chairman Baek entered. Seeing Chairman Baek, Serin beckoned her friends.
She had something important to discuss.
“I have something to tell me…”
