“What’s this······.”
The moment Yeon-woo saw the message, a line was drawn sharply between her eyebrows. It was a truly impolite and affectionless notice.
No, originally Jun-hwi’s communication style was just like that. But why does it look so cold and rigid today?
It’s hard to put into words, but a subtle emotion, different from disappointment, a more uncomfortable and unpleasant feeling, mingled and rushed into Yeon-woo. She tightened the back of her neck.
Yeah, maybe he’s just busy and distracted. He wouldn’t be neglectful about our marriage or me.
[Yes]Suppressing the boiling emotions, Yeon-woo answered briefly and immediately began preparing to leave work.
Although the piled-up work was like a mountain, today, she wanted to take a break without thinking about anything.
Finally, it’s the day of the wedding for her close friend Kyung-ah.
During the preparations, Yeon-woo and Ji-hye split and reunited several times. However, Kyung-ah, who smiled widely throughout the wedding, looked the most beautiful and happy in the world.
“Hey, Ji-hye. What should I do? I’m tearing up······.”
“Oh my, really? Did you properly empathize?”
Perhaps because it was the wedding of her closest friend, whom she had supported and harassed for almost 20 years, seeing Kyung-ah crying while greeting her parents made Yeon-woo’s nose tingle.
“It feels like sending my daughter off.”
“Well, we’ve been through a lot, right? Picking everything from one to ten. Comforting each other when we fight. Eating only junk food together on a diet.”
“That’s true.”
Yeon-woo chuckled and carefully tapped her under the eyes. It seemed like she was overly immersed, thinking that her appearance, dressed up like that, would be similar in the near future.
“Now it’s your turn, Yeon-woo? Are you well prepared?”
The wedding and the reception ended without a hitch. Yeon-woo and Ji-hye headed to the reception venue together.
“I don’t know about the preparations······. I’m just following what the planner tells me.”
“Just doing that is amazing. Kyung-ah and others seem to know a lot.”
That’s right. Yeon-woo let out a light sigh.
“But why didn’t your boyfriend come with you today?”
“He’s busy. He even went to work today.”
“Really? This time, I greeted your lawyer too. Too bad, huh.”
That’s right. Yeon-woo didn’t expect him to cut through his schedule so sharply.
Sometimes asking to introduce friends, and now coaxing her with crying sounds, Ji-hye couldn’t be defeated.
“It’s the year-end, so it’s really busy. Many companies are finalizing lawsuits and holding shareholder meetings, so they are looking for Law and Rul a lot.”
“Well, today is busy for you. Can I borrow Kim Yeon-woo for a bit? Let’s go on a date? Watch a movie, huh?”
Now, she couldn’t beat Ji-hye, who was crying out loud about who she would play with if she got married. Yeon-woo bumped fists with Ji-hye, excited at the thought of spending an ordinary weekend with a friend after a long time.
When the two of them were about to move their steps to the subway station, a familiar sedan on the roadside lightly honked upon seeing Yeon-woo.
“Hey, Lawyer?”
“What? Really? Is he your boyfriend?”
It was Jun-hwi’s car. At the same time, Yeon-woo’s phone rang.
There was no prior notice that he was coming. Temporarily setting aside her confusion, Yeon-woo lightly tapped on the passenger side window.
“Lawyer!”
“I have a little break until the next call, so I came. I’ll give you a ride, so get in for now. I can’t park for long because it’s a main road.”
“Oh, I’m .”
What should she do? She had plans to go out with Ji-hye.
However, she couldn’t just let Jun-hwi, who came to pick her up by breaking his schedule into non-existent time, go.
Yeon-woo looked around Jun-hwi and Ji-hye, feeling awkward.
“Well, Lawyer, would you like to get off for a moment?”
Anyway, since they had met like this, they should at least greet each other briefly.
After introducing the two, Yeon-woo sought Ji-hye’s understanding and decided to get into Jun-hwi’s car.
“Do you know my friend Ji-hye? She’s right here. Would you like to say hello?”
“It won’t work.”
“What?”
Her voice, asking again because she was surprised, came out loudly. Jun-hwi put his index finger in front of his lips, silently gesturing for her to be quiet.
Through the open passenger window, lively English sounds began to be heard.
“······.”
It seemed that his meeting was starting. Of all times, at this timing.
Seeing him answering fluently in English, Yeon-woo turned her body toward Ji-hye.
“I’m fine. Go quickly.”
Ji-hye, who had been waiting to greet Jun-hwi, understood the situation perfectly. Rather, she pushed Yeon-woo’s back toward the car.
“Sorry, Ji-hye. What should I do? I wanted to play with you after a long time.”
“Is today the only day? It’s okay. Go quickly. Your boyfriend is waiting.”
“Sorry. I’ll treat you to a full course next time.”
In the end, after exchanging glances with Ji-hye and waving to her, Yeon-woo cautiously closed the car door.
