<Episode 68> Preparation 1

July is now halfway through.

It was literally midsummer outside. The weather in June, which was a little warm, disappeared out of nowhere. Fortress, I was sweating profusely the moment I walked out of the house and took a few steps.

Cold sweat was still forming on my forehead. As usual, even though I’m sitting still in my room.

It wasn’t the weather. Thanks to the air conditioner that turned on without realizing that the electricity bill was expensive, our house felt rather cool.

The reason why I am still in a groggy state.

It was because I had just reported to my mother that Si-eun and I had decided to get married.

It would be right to meet in person and tell you about such an important matter. Well, neither my parents nor Si-eun’s mother are the type to care about that.

Anyway, I should finish the meeting before the vacation ends. This time, I was planning to give only a light explanation.

So, there wasn’t much tension until I called.

If my mom or dad were against it, I wouldn’t know, there was no way. My mother even asked me if I had any intentions of getting married. Since then, Si-eun has built up a positive image and returned, so there was nothing to worry about.

Even though I knew it was going to work out like this, talking about marriage to my parents with my mouth was bound to be accompanied by tension.

So, with a pounding heart, I spoke out.

“Actually, we… … Me and Si-eun.”

“Oh, are you married?”

“yes… … . yes?”

In that way, it was discovered that it was very bland.

How did know. Did my mother even learn mind-reading without knowing it? Or did you hear anything from Si-eun?

I was speechless and just mumbled something, while my mother cried out, “Oh my gosh.”

“Really? The day before you went back, something seemed odd. So, I was wondering if there was any kind of marriage proposal, so I looked it up.”

“Huh.”

Did you notice all the self-inflicted things with that kind of sense?

She was my mother, but she was just amazing. No, it’s possible because it’s my mother. Because I, who has a narrow range of emotional changes, showed the same appearance that day. As parents who have lived together for 20 years, the difference may have been noticeable.

Afterwards, my mother gave me some tips as if it was fun. It was the wedding of his one and only son, but somehow he seemed to be talking about other people’s affairs.

Let’s take it positively. It will be a mind that guarantees the autonomy of the child.

After hanging up on the phone for a long time, exhausted, I sat down in a chair as if lying down.

After a while, the room door opened and Si-eun came in.

Si-eun was also on the way to tell her mother that she was getting married. However, unlike me, it was just expressionless. There was no sense of tension at all.

I asked Si-eun, who was sitting on the bed, softly.

“What do you say?”

Si-eun answered my question with a bright smile.

“He said he could do it right now.”

“Ugh.”

A bitter laugh came out of nowhere.

I was expecting you to give me an answer like this. Because Si-eun’s mother told her to hurry up and get married.

He turned the chair toward Si-eun and said.

“But I wouldn’t be able to do it right now.”

“I will. They say you have to make reservations for the wedding venue a few months in advance.”

“yes.”

Talking up to this point, it was a conversation that I remember one day.

It’s been a few more days since I proposed. He had not yet prepared for marriage at all.

Didn’t they decide to hold a wedding in time for Si-eun’s mother? I hadn’t thought of preparing properly.

Now, he has even gotten permission from his parents. It would be better to start preparing slowly.

“Shall we decide today?”

Si-eun tilted her head.

“today?”

“yes. If you don’t know anything else, you’ll have to make a reservation for the dining room. I wanted to know which place would be better soon.”

“Ummm”

Si-eun crossed her arms and nodded. Si-eun must also have a desire to show her mother how to get married. I don’t want to delay too long.

After that, Si-eun got up from her bed.

“Then let’s see together, shall we?”

“okay.”

After answering, I moved the chair to the side a little.

When we decided to go on a sea trip together, there was a time when we looked at the monitor together and chose a swimsuit or accommodation. I think I’ll bring a chair and sit down like I did back then.

I thought so.

It looked like it wasn’t Si-eun.

Si-eun, who came right up to me, sat down on my lap.

Because it was midsummer, the indoor clothes were thin and thin. Thanks to this, the skin on the other side of the clothes touches and feels smooth and soft.

yes what now… … Isn’t it something to be ashamed of?

Peck laughed and said.

“Light.”

“I didn’t ask if it was heavy.”

“You always ask.”

“You always told me to be light. Besides, I’m on a diet these days. It will be light.”

I had no idea he was on a diet. He used to eat a few bowls with a happy face at mealtime.

even if that’s the case.

“Why diet?”

There seemed to be no fat on Si-eun’s body to lose. It would not be an exaggeration to say that, except for the chest, it was rather overly dry. What I just said was light right now, it wasn’t empty words either.

But Si-eun shook her head.

“If you want to look prettier on your wedding day, you need to prepare in advance.”

“Can you be prettier than you are now?”

“Why are you cringing?”

Si-eun let out an uh-huh, and lightly tapped my chest with her head. Of course, none of it hurt.

Let’s stop chatting here. As he embraced Si-eun with his left arm, Si-eun trembled as if it was tickling. Maintaining that position, I grabbed the mouse with my right hand.

“By the way, where should the wedding be held? Is it best to do it near school?”

Si-eun said, “Isn’t it?” and answered immediately.

“Considering the schedule anyway, it would be possible after the semester is over. Then you don’t have to be near the school.”

“Yes.”

We are college students, and there must be many college students among the guests we will bring (though most of it will be Si-eun). The ceremony itself will be held on the weekend, but it would be better to avoid the ceremony during the semester.

So, who should I go to near one’s house?

After thinking for a while, he spoke up.

“Shall we go near your house?”

“my house?”

“okay. Your mother… … If you are well by then, you will be able to attend. Better make a reservation nearby.”

“… … yes. That’s right.”

Siyeon smiled and nodded her head. “Thank you,” followed a small murmur.

Then, Si-eun suddenly remembered something and met the clap of her hands.

“Oh, come to think of it, there are a lot of small weddings these days.”

“Small wedding?”

When asked, Si-eun raised her index finger and explained.

“It’s there. It’s like having a small wedding without renting a wedding hall and inviting a few guests.”

“ah.”

I’ve seen it on the news. Instead of gathering a bunch of guests, you rent a place and hold a ceremony with people you are really close to. Did you say that celebrities usually do it?

“You want your wedding to be small?”

I tried to ask if it was intentional, but Si-eun just cut it off and denied it.

“no. Not necessarily. It’s not that I want to make it big.”

“Well.”

Si-eun continued to explain further when she uttered meaningless sounds at the words she seemed to know and did not know.

“For me… … The fact that the two of us become one is in itself important.”

“okay?”

“okay. So it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a wedding or something like that.”

“a.”

After all, Si-eun is not a person who is concerned with such things. Saying that there is no need for a wedding would be a bit of an exaggeration though. There would be no need to ask for something big and big and great.

“What do you think?”

As if curious about my doctor, Si-eun asked carefully.

Of course, I am also not involved in that part. If Si-eun didn’t like it, I wouldn’t mind even skipping the wedding.

The important thing is that they connect with each other as one. I also agree 100% with this statement.

However.

“It would be better to make it bigger though.”

When I answered, Si-eun said, “Yeah?” I asked.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Wouldn’t it be nice to get married with blessings from as many people as possible? And what… … I also want to brag a little.”

“Do you want to brag?”

Si-eun rolled her eyes and buried.

I respond by stroking my hair slowly.

“I think it would be nice to brag about this pretty woman is my wife.”

“what.”

Si-eun smiled shyly.

When you say something like this, Si-eun always returns a funny response. Shy, blushing, and a little bit annoyed saying don’t do it.

Si-eun seemed unaware of the fact that she was repeating herself to see such a reaction.

After that, Si-eun sighed and said.

“okay. So let’s have a normal wedding. I have to be proud too.”

“… … What are you going to brag about?”

“This handsome man is my husband.”

There is nothing to say when you get the same words back. He let out a small laugh and hugged Si-eun even tighter.

Since then, we have been browsing the internet for a long time. I visited the website of the wedding hall near Si-eun’s house and looked for photos of the exterior and interior.

Two of them were selected. One was near Si-eun’s house and the other was near her mother’s hospital.

Which of the two places the ceremony will be held, we decided to visit and check it out in person.

“I must come down quickly.”

“I know.”

I sent two addresses through KakaoTalk. When you go to visit, you will need to take a map app and go.

That’s all I had to do at home.

“Ummm~”

Si-eun, who had been in my arms all along, stretched out. I sat in the same position for an hour. It wasn’t strange, even though my body was aching.

Si-eun in a bright voice.

“It feels like we’re getting married, even knowing the wedding venue.”

“You’re really going to get married.”

“I mean, I haven’t really felt it until now.”

That’s it. I didn’t even feel it at all. No, it still felt like an unrealistic thing from time to time.

Even at the beginning of this year, there was no expectation that they would get married in the future. I never imagined that the day would come when the word marriage would be used in such a routine way. I never knew that such a day would come so early.

I looked at Si-eun, who was sitting on top of me.

Si-eun, who shook her head as if holding her in her arms, was very cute.

Such a girlfriend… … No, I have a wife.

It must have been like a miracle to me.

“I love you.”

Si-eun smirked as she uttered these words unintentionally.

“Why all of a sudden?”

“I just want to tell you.”

“You weren’t such an emotional man in the first place.”

“What.”

It was a lung piercing word.

It seems that there was no emotion, let alone a heart. According to the friend’s words, it seemed that he had no spirit and lacked humanity. It was just that there was no one to talk to.

“I did.”

When I answered bluntly, Si-eun put her weight on me. Thanks to this, I was in a position like lying on a chair again.

Si-eun speaks very seriously.

“Hey. You shouldn’t have said that you love me often.”

“why? It’s not even worn out.”

“It wears out. Do it often.”

“really?”

“okay. If you say you love me too often, you may become numb later on.”

“Does it feel like there is no truth in it?”

“yes.”

From below, I saw Si-eun nodding her head slightly.

Listening to it, it seems that affection has been expressed too often these days.

There were times when I was blunt for a while and lacked expression, so I thought it was a punishment for that. Si-eun may have taken it a bit boringly.

Soon after, Si-eun continued the story as if declaring it.

“So, I will only tell you that I love you when I really want to show you love.”

“Um, what. That might be better.”

I didn’t mean to get the words I love you back. When Si-eun came out like this, I felt a bit sad.

Seeing these feelings arise, it seems that I have also changed a lot. As Poetry says, I am not far from an emotional personality.

As I was immersed in such thoughts, Si-eun spoke to me.

“there.”

“why?”

Si-eun raised her head at my words and made eye contact with me.

“I love you.”

After saying these words, he bowed his head again.

“… … Didn’t you say you wouldn’t do it often?”

“I didn’t say you wouldn’t do it often. I said I would only do it if I really wanted to tell you.”

There seemed to be a bit of embarrassment in that voice.

I’m really You play with a very human heart. I’m fed up, and a laugh burst out.

This playful look was the same as the poem when he first came to our house.

After a few days of living together, Si-eun came to my room and laid down on the bed. It felt like this would not change in the future.

A lot of things change over time.

However, there are also things that remain the same over time.

And as much as this heart now, it will remain as it is until the end of our lives. I thought about it.

With this in mind, I said it again.

“I love you.”

“Because if you do it too often, you don’t feel the truth.”

Si-eun, who smiled slightly while pointing out as if waiting, I hugged her tightly once more.
