Episode 358: Wedding of the Century (1)

[Really…?]

Slightly changed tone of voice.

There was clearly a faint feeling of satisfaction buried within it.

“This is the most important event in my life. Wouldn’t it be natural to inform the Crown Prince first? That’s what I’ve been thinking about doing from the beginning.”

[Hmm… Well, it’s right to tell such important news to your comrades who have been with you through life and death first.]

Even though I could only hear voices, I was sure.

There must be a quite satisfied smile on Binsar’s face right now.

“The Crown Prince has a very busy schedule, so I thought I should let you know in advance, so I’m telling you this in advance. I’m just telling you this just in case. Please don’t feel burdened, and if you have other schedules, you don’t have to come…”

[What are you saying now?]

“yes?”

[Unless your father suddenly passes away, that won’t happen. My dearest friend is getting married. Shouldn’t I go to both heavens?]

“I’m just grateful that you said that.”

I don’t know anything else, but the crown prince was the most loyal.

[What kind of woman is this?]

“Why don’t you remember? Last time I went on vacation to the Crown Prince’s villa, we went to have fun together…”

[ah! Those three women? Is it going to be a joint wedding?]

What on earth is this guy talking about?

It makes terrible sounds clearer to the world.

“No way. I am a single-minded dandelion. I will only love one woman. Why wasn’t there the prettiest woman with black hair back then?”

At the time, Hong Seul-gi and Yoo Yoo-ra had dyed hair due to the nature of their jobs as celebrities, and Ji-won was the only one with black hair.

[ah! The second wife. I remember. Congratulations.]

oh my god. I can’t believe I remembered it that way.

A shiver ran down my spine as I wondered what would happen if the three women found out about this.

“Quite… Anyway, I’ll stop by Saudi Arabia sometime to give you a wedding invitation.”

[oh! It was nice to hear that. But without you, the barrel game isn’t fun these days. I heard that a new game is coming out from Studio SH, so I guess we can enjoy it together.]

I’m going to give you a wedding invitation, you old man! I’m not going to play games.

The words came up to my chin, but unfortunately, the other person was the best of the best that even I couldn’t help but notice.

“Of course. I’m looking forward to it too.”

[Anyway, what do you want?]

“yes?”

[Can I stay silent if you say you are getting married? Is there anything you want?]

I was taken aback by the sudden question.

“Well, I don’t know? It’s enough for me just to receive the crown prince’s heart.”

As soon as I said something I didn’t even mean to say, the crown prince clicked his tongue as if he knew he would do that.

[Tsk tsk. Only because people aren’t that greedy… Well, if you’re like that, you probably won’t be satisfied with most things. I understand. Would you accept it if I sent you a camel decorated with jewels as a gift?]

“Huh? What are you sending me?”

For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears.

Are you sending me a camel doll?

[This is a camel of the highest pedigree that won the camel beauty contest. He inherited the blood of Wahila, the camel of the Al-Muharami family. Her legs are long and straight, and her fur is smooth and shiny. Just looking at her will make you feel satisfied. I will decorate it with enough jewelry to satisfy you and send it to you.]

“Now, wait a minute, Crown Prince! No! It’s okay!”

I was so scared that I forgot that I was talking on the phone and quickly waved my hand.

oh my god. I’m going to send you a live camel wrapped in jewels.

If it were anyone else, I would have burst out laughing, but unfortunately, the problem was that he was a person who could do something like that without any hesitation.

[Just kidding. I will prepare the gift myself.]

“Hahaha… right?”

A sigh of relief came out without me knowing.

But why do I get the feeling that it wasn’t just a joke?

[How many guests do you plan to invite?]

“Well… I think there will be quite a few people from the bride’s family, but I won’t have that many guests.”

[No way? With your connections, you probably have quite a few customers, right?]

“We mostly met through business, so it’s a bit awkward to invite them to a wedding. It’s not like we’re going to do anything business by getting married, so I thought it would be a burden to the other party if I invited them for no reason. For me, just Brother Sulaiman and the Crown Prince are enough.”

[Hmm… Still, just in case, let’s talk to Sulaiman and if there are people who want to go with us, let’s go together.]

“Thank you for your concern, Crown Prince. Anyway, I will see you soon.”

That was the end of the cold, sweaty phone call with Crown Prince Binsar.

It’s been a while since I last contacted you, so I wondered if it was possible, but as expected, he was sulking…

It would have been dangerous if I had contacted him later.

As I was getting ready to leave work, a message notification sound rang.

[Neighbor Hong Seul-gi: Are you busy this evening? I arrived from France yesterday and I want to see the sword cats ㅠㅠ]

“Hey. It’s been a while, neighbor cousin.”

Hong Seul-gi, whom I had not seen for over half a year because she was going on location filming abroad for a long time, felt happy to hear from her for the first time in a while.

Jiwon also had a personal appointment, so the time was fine.

[Meeting at the hideout at the same time we see each other every day]

[Neighbor Hong Seulgi: Call!]

***

A late night when everyone went to dreamland.

The rooftop garden at this time was filled with silence, as always.

After a while, the rooftop door opened and someone leading a stroller crossed the garden path.

At the place where the stroller arrived, a passenger wearing a hood was looking down at the dazzling night view of Seoul.

“Hey, who is this? It’s been a really long time.”

Hong Seul-gi turned her head, pulled back her hood, and smiled brightly.

“Really! How long has it been since this… It feels like it’s been years since I last saw you?”

“To overdo it. At least it’s only about 6 months, right?”

Not a short period of time has passed since I got to know Hong Seulgi.

At first, we were just neighbors with no connection between a celebrity and an ordinary person, but our strong bond gradually deepened our friendship.

“It’s been a while for you guys, right?”

When the canopy of the stroller was lifted, four black cats were revealed, sitting together and licking each other’s fur.

“oh my god···!”

Hong Seul-gi, who cupped her cheeks and let out a silent scream, squatted down and made eye contact with the black cats.

“Oh my! How are you guys? Oh my! You brought all four out today? What day is it?”

“Yes. I think today will probably be the last time I see you on the rooftop like this.”

“What is that… Ah!”

Hong Seul-gi tilted her head at my words and then let out a short exclamation.

“I heard from Jiwon. The wedding date has been set.”

“Yeah. It’s already happened like that.”

“Then you will be moving into your newlywed home soon?”

“I guess so.”

“Ah… What should I do because it’s a shame… I don’t mind my brother going, but it hurts so much not to be able to see our sword cats.”

“Still, shouldn’t you feel sorry for the ant eyes? Still, we’ve known each other for years.”

“Hehehe. I’m just kidding. Of course I’m sad. It was like an oasis in my busy entertainment industry life.”

Hong Seul-gi, with dim eyes, stroked the heads of the black cats, and they licked her hands with their bright red tongues.

Normally, they would have played crazy blues songs, but they are smart guys, so you know that.

That this is actually my last day to meet Hong Seulgi here.

“I really congratulate you. I’m just saying this now, but don’t you know how much I applauded when I heard that you two were meeting?”

“Did you? I had no idea.”

Hong Seul-gi, who was petting the black cats in silence for a moment, twitched her lips as if she was about to say something.

“Actually, there were times when I was confused.”

“huh?”

“Do you remember? The first place my brother and I met was at an abandoned dog shelter.”

“Of course. Yeontan met that guy there too.”

“Honestly, at the time, I thought Oppa was a very strange person. I thought he was just an ordinary college student, but he didn’t find it difficult to look at me, and instead made fun of me because I couldn’t clean. He was close with the famous trainer Lee Joo-seok, and even the pretty cat only followed Oppa. I felt a bit unfair, but I’m not the type of person who doesn’t attract attention…”

He’s a top star who gets the spotlight wherever he goes, but is it difficult for him?

But if you think about the situation at the time, it seemed absurd to Hong Seul-gi.

“Up until then, I thought it would be like that. It was a passing relationship anyway. I wondered if I would ever see him again. But why? When I found out that we lived in the same officetel, it felt a little different. What can I say… I will keep running into this person from now on. “Can I say that it was triggered by some woman’s instinct?”

“Really? That’s fascinating.”

“After that, thanks to our sword cats, we got to see each other often, and besides, I also received a lot of help from my brother in various ways. When I think about it, I don’t think I was able to say thank you properly at that time. I’m really grateful. If I even say something like this… “You could say it was a deliberate plan, but I don’t think my life would have turned out as well as it did if I hadn’t met my brother.”

A woman’s instinct is definitely scary.

At that time, I saw golden light from Hong Seul-gi, and in the aftermath, a work called ‘Nemesis’, which was on the verge of collapse, was able to come out to the world with my investment, and Hong Seul-gi was able to get out of the swamp of long slump.

As a result, I was also able to earn quite a lot of money, so it was a win-win situation.

“As I became so close to my brother, at some point a thought occurred to me. Could it be that I thought of my brother as a man?”

“Huh? Me?”

I was so surprised by the completely unexpected flow that I almost hiccuped.

“Whenever I have a problem, he solves it quickly like a long-legged man, so there was a time when I felt like I was trustworthy and wanted to rely on him. I was also at a loss. I don’t know if this is a rational feeling or not.”

Hong Seul-gi, who took her gaze away from the black cats, stood up and looked clearly into my eyes.

“I became clearer later. Ah! This is what it would feel like to have a reliable older brother.”

A sigh of relief came out without me knowing.

“That’s why I was happier than anyone else when I heard that Ji-won and I were getting married. Now that the two people I like are becoming a couple, I won’t be able to see them more often in the future. Even if I see one of them, I won’t have any inconvenience anymore.”

In fact, Jiwon and Hong Seulgi, who were initially at odds, quickly became close after going on vacation to France, and are now showing off their friendship no different from biological sisters.

“Anyway, it was great to be neighbors with my brother, and I hope to continue our good relationship in the future.”

Hong Seulgi extends her hand with a bright smile.

Hong Seulgi stared at him, then smiled and held hands.

“Are you going to come to the wedding? My rear end is really long? You must come.”

“Isn’t it obvious? If I don’t go, I’ll hear some kind of complaint.”

“Are you going to see how much the congratulatory money is? I’m going to see what Korea’s best actress spends.”

“Hmph! I’m going to do it with Jiwon, not my brother, right?”

“Is that so? Don’t you know that couples are part of the sharing economy anyway?”

“Oh! That’s disgusting.”

Just like that, we ended our happy farewell ceremony, chatting like real siblings.

Time passed like a flowing stream, the new year came, and May, the season of fresh green, arrived.

A few days before the wedding of miracle investor Song Dae-woon, which will be recorded as one of the weddings of the century, and Lee Ji-won, known as the greatest wealth of the Buksan family.

Private planes from around the world begin to flock to Korea’s airports.
