Ring ring ring.
A busier than usual Saturday morning.
Shin Yeon was in the midst of a battleground, too engaged to even check her ringing phone.
“Oh damn, I’m so busy and it keeps going off.”
There was still plenty of time until the wedding, but the battle had already begun.
All sorts of cosmetics were strewn around the house, and lightweight dresses that she couldn’t normally wear to work were spread out on the bed.
“Hello.”
She tried to ignore it, but she couldn’t endure the persistent ringing anymore.
Shin Yeon, with hair rollers in her bangs, pressed the call button somewhat roughly.
[Why are you only picking up now! I called so many times.]
No sooner had Shin Yeon answered the phone than Jung Eun’s loud voice rang in her ear.
“Ah, seriously Jung Eun. I was taking a shower. What?”
In truth, it had been quite some time since she had showered.
Shin Yeon was in the moment of blowdrying her hair and curling it with a curling iron.
The flow of curling iron is important.
Once you start, you have to keep going, if you take a break, the result on both sides can feel a bit different.
Ah, to answer a phone call at such a critical moment……
[Hey, it’s urgent, that’s why. You said you’d bring someone, right?]
“Yes, someone from work. Why?”
[That’s Park Jin Woo, he said he can’t come to the wedding.]
“What!?”
Wow, unbelievable.
It shouldn’t have been, but it was.
Shin Yeon felt as if her blind date had fallen through on the day itself, and her spirit suddenly deflated.
After all the embarrassment I went through to ask Seong Min oppa……
[Jiho sunbae must have been worried about you, he called me even on the morning of his wedding day. He said that Park Jin Woo couldn’t come, and if you were going to feel uncomfortable and not come as a result, he asked you to tell him in advance.]
Shaking.
Why did Jiho sunbae only tell me this important fact this morning……
“Ah, got it. Hang up for now. I need to make a call.”
[Okay. See you later.]
“I’ll call you.”
Click.
“……sigh.”
Shin Yeon looked at the ended call, overwhelmed with a complex mix of feelings.
Her feelings were uncomfortable, but no one was at fault.
Right.
In fact, all of this is my fault.
The one who got swept up in that childish idea of bringing someone was definitely herself.
With a long sigh, she dialed Seong Min’s number.
[Hello?]
After a few rings, he picked up the call.
“Oppa, it’s Yeon.”
The fortunate thing was, there was still plenty of time until the wedding.
Seong Min hadn’t even started preparing to leave yet.
[Yes, Yeon.]
“I, I’m sorry for the sudden change……I think it would be okay if you didn’t go to the wedding with me.”
[Oh, that guy’s not coming?]
“Uh, I guess so. I’m sorry. You must have woken up early on the weekend because of me…”
Shin Yeon felt resentful even when she thought about last night again.
Should have stayed still without inviting, huh.
[“It’s okay, I was exercising. And it’s even better if you don’t come.”]
“I’m sorry… Ah, I’ll definitely buy food and coffee! I’m really grateful just for saying you’ll help.”
[“Got it. Be sure to buy. Don’t forget.”]
“Thank you, brother. Take a rest.”
Seong Min’s voice was affectionate, but Shin Yeon’s expression didn’t brighten for a long time even after hanging up the phone.
She felt sorry, wondering if she had bothered him for no reason.
“What are you doing, Shin Yeon…”
At the end of the long sigh she followed, there was her reflection in the fulllength mirror.
She had meticulously applied makeup as if there was something good, and even had hair rolls on her bangs.
As she shifted her gaze to the side, she was captivated by the mess of dressing up.
Clothes laid out randomly, luxury bags she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“…What’s this.”
What the hell is this?
What was all this rush for?
Was it because there was even a piece of her heart left for Park Jin Woo?
“No. That’s definitely not it.”
She couldn’t definitively say what this was for.
What’s certain is that it wasn’t just that she was trying hard to dress up for him.
This is what a wedding is.
What she was wary of was not Park Jin Woo, but the gazes of the old classmates who would evaluate her after a long time.
“Ha, it’s embarrassing.”
Forget it. What’s important about all this?
The rumor that she needs a fake boyfriend because her exboyfriend is coming is what’s important.
Shin Yeon had to admit that she was brutally defeated in this combative scene.
“So what should I wear?”
She headed back to the scene for the unstoppable setting.
In fact, the most important thing right now is the flow of the curling iron.
((()))
Ring.
“Huh? Did you go out and come back?”
Shin Yeon, who went out for a wedding, ran into Do Jun.
He was very comfortable, as if he had been to a local convenience store, unlike at work.
‘Hmm, he’s heartwarming.’
Even his casual attire was quite heartwarming.
The natural hair dried roughly after washing, a white tshirt that reveals his broad shoulders.
Shin Yeon might have screamed behind the door as before, but…
“You do what you know.”
