Psst! We're moving!
Wedding day.
Even though she had been up since dawn preparing, Joo-eun’s smile never left her face.
“People are going to look at the groom and not the bride.”
He looked like a model in a fashion magazine in his tuxedo.
Joo-eun spared no compliments as she gazed at him in the mirror.
“If they look at me instead of such a beautiful bride, they’ll have a hard time living in this world with that kind of taste.”
The employee fixing her tiara widened her eyes slightly at Min-hyuk’s response.
It was surprising that the famous CEO Jung Min-hyuk was speaking so respectfully to the bride.
And his romantic side.
It was quite astonishing.
“I’m sorry, you can’t hear our conversation, right?”
Joo-eun whispered to the woman, her face slightly flushed.
Every word he said made her happy, but she could imagine how cheesy it would sound to others.
The woman waved her hand dismissively.
“Oh, it’s alright. Many couples fight on their wedding day because they’re nervous, but when there’s so much love and happiness, we’re happy too. You two look perfect together.”
“Thank you. Please take good care of my bride today.”
At Min-hyuk’s polite request, the woman bowed deeply and repeatedly said she would.
Joo-eun, who had her tiara fixed like a headband near her crown, carefully stood up with the woman’s help.
“How do I look? Is it too much?”
She asked as she turned around.
Even though she had chosen the simplest tiara design, Joo-eun was worried it might look too flashy.
Min-hyuk looked at her with an expression different from how he had been looking at her in the mirror.
“No matter what you wear, you’ll shine the brightest, so don’t worry.”
Joo-eun couldn’t help but smile at his increasingly cheesy compliments.
He raised an eyebrow, as if asking why she was laughing when it was the truth.
When he held out his hand, Joo-eun gently took it.
As they made eye contact and walked slowly forward, the staff rushed over to hold up the train of her long wedding dress.
The envious and admiring glances towards the radiant couple continued all the way to the wedding hall.
The outdoor wedding, which was a small wedding, was filled with laughter from beginning to end in a comfortable atmosphere.
Min-hyuk walked in holding the bride’s hand, and there was no officiant.
The two read their personally written vows, promising eternal love for each other.
The adults who had known Min-hyuk since childhood were all surprised at how he had become so smooth, and Joo-eun’s relatives, knowing how hard she had lived, sincerely wished her happiness.
Only Chairman Jung sat sullenly and left early.
Joo-eun, who watched Chairman Jung’s retreating back, couldn’t help but feel a strange stiffness in her expression.
“Don’t worry about it. If you dwell on things like that, only you will suffer.”
Jin-sook stood next to Joo-eun, having arrived unnoticed.
“Mother...”
“That man is probably seething inside right now. But he’s even more annoyed that he can’t do anything to you.”
“...”
“Min-hyuk and I will be here to protect you, so don’t worry and enjoy this happy time.”
There couldn’t be a more reassuring presence.
“Thank you.”
Joo-eun bowed slightly, covering her chest, and Jin-sook looked at her with a pleased expression.
“Our daughter-in-law is so beautiful. Min-hyuk has a good eye. I didn’t teach him much, but he’s done well.”
Jin-sook, who didn’t know how to give empty compliments, had a great effect. Joo-eun was already smiling.
“The wedding is so free and wonderful. Where is your mother? I want to have a drink with her.”
“She’s over there.”
“Thank you.”
As soon as Jin-sook smiled and left, Joo-eun’s relatives rushed over as if they had been waiting.
They asked her so many questions about how she had met such a wonderful person that she felt dizzy for a moment.
Just as the flood of questions began to subside, she saw Se-young talking non-stop with Jang-wook in the distance.
‘Good for you, friend. I was worried about you getting married without me. Congratulations!’
Seeing the bouquet Se-young was holding, Joo-eun had a pleasant feeling that good news might be coming soon.
“Congratulations, Manager Song!”
“Manager! Team Leader, Manager Kim, thank you for coming.”
Joo-eun’s face brightened when she finally exchanged greetings with them, whom she had wanted to greet earlier.
“Of course, we had to come. You’re the backbone of our team.”
Joo-eun covered her mouth and laughed at Team Leader Gam’s playful remark.
“Oh my, I’m not the backbone.”
“So, were you dating the director even when you were so harshly rejecting the team leader back then?”
“No, back then...”
“It was when you were pushing me away a hundred times as I begged you to date me.”
Min-hyuk put his hand on Joo-eun’s shoulder, having arrived unnoticed.
The atmosphere froze again in an instant.
She felt sorry for these herbivores who were so tense and only rolled their eyes.
“Director... no, now you’re the CEO. Congratulations, CEO.”
Manager Kim bowed 90 degrees, and everyone else bowed in unison.
“Let’s relax a bit now. You’re my wife’s colleagues.”
“Ah... haha. Yes...”
They laughed so awkwardly.
She had to take this man away for the sake of those who would never relax.
“Please enjoy your meal. Thank you all for coming!”
Only after Joo-eun pushed Min-hyuk away did the team members seem to breathe again.
“Why are you doing this? I was going to have a more relaxed conversation.”
“Like saying you’ll fire them if they call you during your honeymoon?”
“Ah, right. I have to tell them that.”
“Ugh. Come here.”
“Why? What are you trying to do, taking me away? Not here. The honeymoon is waiting, so please be patient. I’m having a hard time holding back too.”
What could he be holding back in this wide-open outdoor wedding?
Joo-eun shook her head, wondering how she would handle this smooth man in the future.
“Mom! Mother! Let’s take a picture together.”
Min-hyuk and Jin-sook, who had no memory of taking pictures together, exchanged awkward glances.
Even though they had reconciled, the awkwardness couldn’t disappear overnight, so Joo-eun deliberately livened up the atmosphere.
“Come on, stand here quickly.”
“Shall we? Oh ho ho. Let our handsome son-in-law stand in the middle.”
Hye-joo linked arms with Min-hyuk in a sweet voice, and Jin-sook, not wanting to lose, linked arms with Joo-eun.
“Let our beautiful daughter-in-law stand in the middle too.”
The photographer rushed over to adjust their poses.
“Alright, taking the picture! Groom, smile a little brighter! Cheese!”
“......”
“Come on, just a little more smile to the side. Cheese!”
“Chee-ese.”
The three women burst out laughing at the stiff, almost breaking “cheese.”
The picture, with Min-hyuk expressionless and everyone else smiling brightly, ended up on Joo-eun’s vanity.
It was her favorite picture.
Emerald sea and blue sky.
A pleasant breeze tickling the tip of her nose.
Everything was exactly the same as before, and Joo-eun, standing on the veranda, was filled with emotion.
“How did you book this room again?”
It was the room where they first met.
“I’m a man who can do anything.”
“Oh, really? Then smile and say ‘cheese.’“
Joo-eun smiled again, remembering him muttering “cheese” like a robot.
Min-hyuk stood behind her and whispered in her ear.
“Not that. I’m especially good at things with the body. You know that.”
His hot breath was on her ear, but all her senses were drawn to the lower part of her body, where he was touching her.
Although she was inwardly surprised by the firm pressure, Joo-eun pretended not to notice.
She preferred having a cozy conversation with him right now.
“I remember when my swimsuit first fell here. It was really chilling. And the man who opened the door was even more chilling.”
His touch was sending signals that he wanted to end the conversation and get a little hotter.
Joo-eun continued talking, pretending not to notice.
“It’s a shame. I should have taken the blank check back then. Don’t you think?”
“You have the owner of the blank check instead. That’s wise.”
“That’s true.”
Min-hyuk, unable to bear it any longer, turned her around to face him.
Her eyes went down and then quickly up, noticing something.
“We were talking about the blank check. When did this happen?”
“I react just to your breathing.”
His hand slid seductively under her loose T-shirt.
“I guess I’ll have to breathe more quietly now.”
“That won’t be easy. Being here reminds me of the woman who left me, so I plan to punish her.”
Contrary to his warning, his lips were incredibly soft.
Sweet stimulation flooded into her lips, which were stretched from smiling.
Soon, the sound of their saliva mixing was louder than the sound of the waves.
“I can’t believe I’d come back here with you...”
Joo-eun struggled to speak as his lips constantly sucked deeply on her white neck.
It was already so hot, her heart pounded with anticipation for how dizzy she would be at the climax.
He took off her T-shirt in one swift motion while kissing her, and his body seemed even more toned than a few days ago.
“The flight was long. Aren’t you tired?”
“How can I be tired already? We’re going to play more on the second floor later.”
“You rented the second floor too?”
Joo-eun’s eyes widened.
It wasn’t just rented.
She didn’t know that DK Group had made it a condition of acquiring the resort that the first and second floors wouldn’t take guests.
“Of course. It’s where our memories began.”
“Wow... thank you. I actually really wanted to see the second floor.”
“If you’re so grateful, give me a reward.”
Min-hyuk lifted her up, and Joo-eun wrapped her legs around his waist in an X-shape.
She leaned down and kissed the top of his head.
“Here’s your reward.”
Anything she gave was a reward.
Min-hyuk grinned and crossed the spacious living room in one stride.
His aroused lower body was also ready to cross her, showing off its might.
As he had warned, they became one passionately.
They went back and forth between the first and second floors until dawn.
Their rough breaths filled the bedroom without a break.
Joo-eun, lying down with an expression that suggested she couldn’t move a single finger, whispered to him, who was lying on his side looking at her.
“Ha... shall we swim?”
“If it’s in the pool, I’m in.”
Joo-eun hit him playfully, saying it was ridiculous, and he picked her up and stood up.
“Really? Really again?” He raised the corners of his lips, seeing her surprised eyes.
Of course, he always kept his word.
The calm pool water rippled roughly in the darkness, following their heat.
Joo-eun, who couldn’t swim and clung to him, whispered breathlessly.
“I’m still curious. How did a man who was like a robot think of going in to retrieve the swimsuit of a woman he had just met?”
“Don’t you sometimes have crazy moments when you look back and don’t understand why you did it?”
“Yes.”
“That was one of those moments. I don’t understand it either.”
Joo-eun nodded as if she understood.
“I guess we use the word ‘fate’ when we can’t explain it with our heads.”
“Maybe. I’ve never doubted that you were my fate.”
Joo-eun’s wet lips stretched into a smile.
“I love you.”
“I’ll add ‘thank you’ to that.”
His gratitude towards her, who had overcome so many adversities and finally accepted his feelings, grew more and more.
“I’ll add ‘I’ll be a good wife’ to that.”
“I’ll be a good husband.”
“Perfect.”
Their lips met again in a deep kiss.
Like the two people who started naked, a honeymoon that was constantly naked and constantly heated began.
