“What were we talking about just now?”
“It’s nothing.”
Before Je Ho’s words could finish, Yul Li hurriedly replied, causing Min Woo’s gaze to sharply flicker.

Something felt off, but it was not clear what. That made him more nervous.

Ah, jeez… What the heck is it?

Already, the call with mom did not go as planned, it was infuriating….

All through the call, Min Woo was nagged at.

[You said you’d do anything if you marry Yul Li? But you’re talking a lot! Are you going to ignore the family tradition?]

What family tradition? The damn family tradition!

To begin with, there was no socalled inherited wedding dress. Who wouldn’t know that they’re trying to trouble Yul Li, who didn’t like it? But the consequence of protesting prematurely was terrible. It became a case of curing a lump by getting one more lump.

[I don’t want to hear it! Take a picture in the dress and send it!]

Send a proof shot… Ah, it’s driving me crazy.

He was worried about the subtle atmosphere between Yul Li and Je Ho, but first, he had to put out the fire that had fallen on his foot. That meant not unnecessarily upsetting Yul Li.

“…Um, Yul Li.”
With an awkward smile on his embarrassed face, Min Woo approached Yul Li.

“Let’s try it on first. If mom doesn’t like it after seeing it, then we can talk about doing something else.”
Min Woo carefully gauged Yul Li’s expression.

So, in the end, she has to try it on.

Yul Li wanted to refuse, but she had no choice but to nod in front of Je Ho, who was watching. She didn’t want to show a quarrelsome figure with Min Woo in front of a man who scratches the inside with jealousy or something.

“I got it.”
After a while, Nancy Song and the staff came into the dressing room to help with the dress fitting. With the large dress, Yul Li followed the two into the fitting room.

((()))((()))((()))

“Ha, running around in a hurry.”
As soon as she got Yul Li’s call, Da Hee, who was imagining Min Woo running out in a hurry, narrowed her eyes. Cold wind was needed to cool the burning inside. Heading to the rooftop, Da Hee leaned against the glass railing and put a cigarette in her mouth.

Just as she was about to light it, she seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, then took out her mobile phone from her pocket. The call was connected after a few rings.

“Yul Li? It’s me, me. Shin Da Hee. Have you been well?”
[Da Hee senior?] Yul Li seemed a bit surprised by the sudden contact, but she soon replied politely.

[Yes, you’ve been well too, right?] “Yep. I’ve been well too. Yul Li, you’re attending the alumni meeting, right?”
[…Ah, about that.] “Come on out. Let’s see each other after a long time. Jae Sik can’t come because he’s on a business trip abroad.”
She sensed Yul Li hesitate at the mention of Jae Sik.

“So don’t feel burdened and make sure to attend. That’s why I called.”
[Yes, senior. Thank you.] “Then see you at the alumni meeting.”
Shin Da Hee, who hung up with Yul Li, lit her cigarette with a smirk.

Ha, who would have thought I’d sit still and meekly step back?

In the first place, it was a matter started with the intention of deeply hurting someone. Originally, the target was the one who stole the boyfriend, but in the end, it ended up being people around. But does it matter? If anyone gets hurt, that’s enough. It’s unfair for her to be the only one hurting.

“Phew.”
Da Hee exhaled a long puff of smoke into the void.

((()))((()))((()))

“You must be careful because the fabric is old.”
Nancy Song explained as she slowly zipped up the back.

“Especially around the zipper, it easily rips even with a little force.”
It looked so even without saying. To put it nicely, the dress had an oldfashioned beauty, but speaking truthfully, it was an antique. The dress, which covered everything that could be covered with cloth from the neck to the wrists, reminded of a nun’s habit.

But thanks to it, the thin and voluptuous curve was emphasized, making her figure stand out more than a dress with a deep cleavage.

“Wow, as expected!”
When Yul Li, who had changed into the wedding dress, came out of the fitting room, Min Woo opened his mouth in admiration.

While Min Woo was busy taking a proof shot with his phone, Je Ho glanced up and down at the dress and frowned, as if he didn’t like it.

“It’s better than I thought, isn’t it?”

Upon Min Woo’s words, Yul Li let out a small sigh. If they were alone, she would have retorted, ‘What’s fine about it!’. However, she could complain later. It was more important to finish the fitting as soon as possible.

“Min Woo, you should try it on too.”
“Uh, okay.”
As Min Woo went into the fitting room to change into a tuxedo, Je Ho apologized to Nancy Song.

“I think we won’t need any help for the men’s tuxedos.”
“Then, please ring the bell when you need it.”
