“Uju-ya, where are we going today?”
“Jeongwon samchon and Elsa-imo wedding!”
“Elsa imo??”
“Ne, Elsa-imo name in English is winter, that’s why Uju call her Elsa-imo.”
“Aigooo, uri Uju is so smart. Did Appa raise a genius?? Do you want to go to Harvard after graduating from pre-school?”
Chae Songhwa just giggling to hear this father and son conversation. Now, they are on their way to their friend’s wedding, Ahn Jeong Won and Jang Gyeo-ul’s wedding.
“Ah, I cannot believe that this day will finally come. You know that years ago, he was so sure that he will leave us for priesthood….”
“I know Songhwa-ya, but I was so sure that he won’t leave us when I see uri Elsa-imo. Ah, jinjja, you know how big my effort was to bring them together???? I was doing everything you know, that Ahn Jeong Won…….”
“Ne, ne, I know, how big your effort, so please Mr. Lee Ik Jun, just drive, or Jeongwon will kill us if we’re late.”
They just arrived at the wedding hall, and Uju run as soon as he saw his aunt, Lee Ik Sun with her fiancé, Kim Jun Wan and his other uncle, Yang Seokhyeong. The wedding hall is not that crowded yet, but you can see the family of the bride and groom around.
“Terminator imo!!!” Lee Ik Sun immediately hold Uju, once Uju approaching them.
“Ya, Lee Ik Jun, Chae Song Hwa, why are you so late? That guy has been really nervous so that he yells at us all the time”
“Ah waee? I have to pick up Song Hwa first at the hospital, and we’re not late at all. Where’s my son-in-law? That prick, if he’s still grumpy all the time, I won’t marry him with uri Gyeoul.”
“Ik Jun-ah, Gyeoul’s real father is beside you”
With his poker face, Seokhyung, just remind his friends that the real family of the bride are beside them. Gyeoul’s father then just smile at them, knowing that these people are his son-in-law best friends, which Gyeoul has described them as crazy, but smart people.
“Ah abeoji, how are you? Congratulation on your daughter’s wedding. I am Lee Ik Jun, I and Gyeoul are really close. I was the one who bring Jeongwon and Gyeoul together, abeoji.”
“Ne, abeoji, excuse us, we’re going to visit the bride and groom first.” Songhwa then stop Ikjun from telling his big effort for bringing the soon-to-be married couple to Gyeoul’s father, and pushing her friends to the private room.
“Jeongwon samcheooon”
Jeongwon who has been nervous since last night, has moving back and forth in his room, has been yelling to the people around him, is finally smiling as soon as he heard his nephew voice.
“Uri Ujuuuuuu, come here, how are you??”
“Uju is happy today, because Jeongwon samcheon will marry uri Elsa imo. Samcheon, have you seen Elsa imo? She is really pretty, Uju will marry Elsa imo too in the future.”
“ANIIIII, no no Uju-ya, Elsa imo is mine, you cannot marry her. Uju should find another woman in the future, okay?”
“YA Ahn Jeong Won, do you get jealous with Uju? I know, this prick… hh…”
“YA Why are you late? You know I told you that you guys have to be here at 9 a.m, and it’s already 09.05!!!”
“Ok, my mistake, I admit that. You really nervous right? That’s okay Jeongwon-ah, everything’s ready, even Gyeoul is not that nervous you know. Do you want to know how beautiful she is right now? Ah, I am afraid that you’re gonna cry when you see her.”
“Stop teasing him, Ik Jun-ah. Jeongwon-ah, that’s okay, everything will run smoothly today, nothing to be scared, you just need to relax.”
“I cannot believe that we’re gonna see his wedding first, before Junwan.”
“YAA, Yang Seokhyeong!”
“Ani, gwaenchana oppa, gwaenchana, we’re gonna marry soon, gwaenchana”
Lee Ik Sun just telling his fiancé to stay calm. After dozens talking about marriage, convincing Ik-Sun that he will love her good and bad side, convincing that he will support Ik Sun’s career and study, convincing Ik-Jun and his father (which didn’t take long), and other things, Kim Jun Wan and Lee Ik Sun will finally tie the knot in the near future. Though it’s still Ahn Jeong Won first, but Kim Jun Wan did not really care, as long as it is Lee Ik Sun, he is happy.
“Aih, jinjja, you guys are above 40s, but still bickering all the time.”
Jung Rosa, Jeongwon’s mother, entering the room with Director Jo Jung Su.
“Anyeong haseyo eomoni, Mr. Jo.”
“Neee anyeong haseyo. Omoo, uri adeul, why so handsome today?” Rosa approaching Jeongwon and cupping his face. “Years ago I was really afraid that I have to visit the church to meet you, but who knows that we’re here for your wedding? Adeul, I am really happy, thank you.” Rosa smiling from eye to eye as she talked to Jeongwon. Little did Rosa and his friends know, Jeongwon also didn’t even imagine that he is going to marry at his 40s, and let go his childhood dream to be priest, yet he is staying at the hospital and in his mother and Gyeoul’s side.
“Eomoni.. please don’t cry right now, you still have time to cry later. Uri sensitive Jeongwon is too handsome for crying right now. You know, I already prepare speech for today, and I am gonna make you all crying, bet me.”
“Jeongwon-ah, why did you make him to give speech in your wedding? It’s disaster you know.”
“You know, there is me, Seokhyeong, and Song Hwa, yet you still choose Ikjun?? How come? I thought we’re soulmate.”
“Jeongwon-ah, we’re friends since childhood, but you choose this prick, why?”
Ahn Jeong Won, himself, cannot believe that he is giving the best man speech to the crazy-Lee-Ik-Jun. But, he cannot say no to Gyeoul. “Oppa, just let him do this in our wedding, so that we can stop him from telling everyone about his effort in bringing us together wherever he go.” And so that’s why Jeongwon agree to give the speech to Ikjun.
“Hh.. I know right, but Ik Jun has been asking me and Gyeoul, no, he’s actually begging, to give the best man speech for him. I already refuse his idea, but Gyeoul said that we should give it to Ik Jun, since he played big role in our early days.”
“I know right, I am raising a good daughter. Ah, I miss my daughter. I am going to see Gyeoul again. Uju-ya, c’mon let’s visit your noona”
So that, Uju and Ikjun leaving the room, while the rest are getting ready. Jeongwon is still nervous, but now he is smiling, knowing that his friends already here and imagining how beautiful his bride-to-be right now.
