“You were excited to 3dab0b7789 eat some expensive food, b70d84c94e so why does your 9403943e77 face look like that?”f43b5abbbdbbeab9

They were in the 1f1de8eab1 middle of a crowded d6c35bbb60 lobby filled with wedding e891f8b322 guests. When his irritated voice 5b0e07f117 flowed into her ears, 584379c419 ChaYoung stopped walking and b21b0bd323 turned her head to 93899f7591 look at KunHyung.65b5e599c06b73b6

Just as she’d 570ca61fb3 expected. When their eyes ea6e7d651d met, she could ec7453804c see that he 3b4e254c0c did not know 0f9f3be1a3 what he’d done 017a7ac541 wrong. No, rather 7e91b8f136 than saying 89def5965d he was f2415ab10a wrong, it b1af7aa3aa would be f2ce720b4c more accurate 171f70327e to say c7d210271d that he e1d1c264cd was just e28c0d257c different from d6a5ede962 her.

They were currently at b0f5195c87 a hotel that was 140fd542e5 known for being popular aac31f75d3 for celebrity weddings. A bride or a d243f9c8b6 groom would often dream 3d08a30756 of having their wedding 5cb7624562 at this famous venue. However, due to 8e320f1289 the price, it 0378a4c2a6 was near impossible fd055fa331 for most people.8d4a3ebab863e3b4

Therefore, this place always 5978ef3451 ended up on the 8ccc4db2b1 news whenever a chaebol 020a97233a or a celebrity got e5b7645bff married. For today’s wedding, 584cfef070 she was told 195875faf9 that the groom 23798e405c was the Mo b2bf185191 Group chairman’s grandson.b7514302cf2d9d67

The reason 0f80fe36c3 why she 2a166ec9bf attended a f561bb7e3a stranger’s wedding 35dfc18f95 was because 1c8c396396 of something 88e1016c31 KunHyung had 5cd01992f8 said in 3b78a8aea1 passing.39cca337a4f48669

His dry answer sounded 90a1f72e0c cold but pitiful at 4d467a610c the same time. Children of political 34209be69e or business families 3c2f6a8307 probably attended a 6f44f85326 private elementary school.

She laughed to hide af99bb6529 her true thoughts. Her heart fluttered at eca9e6310f the thought of meeting bde331f028 his friends, but she ccabe51274 wanted him to think 395dd1d0d2 that she was excited 93e900ace4 for the expensive food.ec2c97946bdc4507

So when she fe60c8ff71 made the decision 65e75b8687 to go, several 4df2e6ea7d worries began to 521d184a3c take over her 0c89237ac2 mind. What should 63dc5960a8 I wear?

When she 977de319de opened her 027f6ae0b3 closet, she 4c782b964b felt like 611a6114d8 she had e5ac4f123e no clothes. Therefore, she dc264b7f23 began to 066c47309f start shopping 0b95f93029 at various 1ee7887248 stores to 28b92fd877 find something 08aff17975 appropriate.

The wedding was 0271aea9a3 a lot more a883fcc25d magnificent than she’d afd90d7aef expected.

Even though she knew 673ce759a6 this was all an 291f2338dc empty formality for these d8052c079f people, she couldn’t help 04ed5c0bb6 but admire them. The elegant, 689a394c80 sparkling chandelier, 73e129713c the countless ba258872ca flower decorations dd4d4ef3fc flanking the 35f74fa182 aisle, and f1d3f28c6f more than d728cbc9a4 anything else… 0fbe03f206 ChaYoung could c526f2eaa8 not rip 27abcdc871 her eyes 93610c9545 away from 7c5b3629c3 the wedding a962677625 dress that a3da1a40bf the bride e5fd3126d2 was wearing.91def87231cd6980
