Chapter 106
Unlocked chapter (1/6) Ty atranok!!
[Time]
Summer is just around the corner.
Although the weather has been warming up lately, its still what youd call cool.
The first semester was still more than a month away from ending.
The children were already looking forward to their summer vacation.
One day, a wedding ceremony was scheduled at Alice Hotel in Donam-dong.
Wow, so many people!
So many people!
When Euna and Eunae got off the elevator, their mouths dropped open at the sight of people chatting in front of the wedding venue.
It wasnt just a lot of people.
Among the people shaking hands and greeting each other were politicians, celebrities, and athletes whose faces were often seen in the media.
Indeed, its Alice.
It was the day of Jung Seok-hoon and Min Su-jins wedding.
Their love for each other had finally come to fruition.
Eunha held hands with Euna so that she and Eunae wouldnt blend into the crowd and disappear somewhere.
Technically, its not a marriage, but a remarriage.
Well, who cares?
A good day is a good day after all.
Hey, that guy over there, Ive seen him on TV.
Me too. A few people from my group are there too.
Eunhas father was dressed not in his usual comfortable neighborhood clothes but in a suit he only wore for year-end parties..
His mother, like Euna, looked around in wonder as she spotted people she recognized from the media.
This was evidence that even outside of the Alice Group, Jung Seok-hoon and Min Su-jins marriage was considered important.
Since Min Su-jin was the first of the second generation of the Alice Group to get married, the significance was even greater.
People who were attentive to trends or profit sensed the high possibility of her inheriting the group and tried to win her favor even a little.
Ill go give the congratulatory gift.
Sure, well go meet the bride and groom.
His father did the same.
He had been thinking of Jung Seok-hoon only as Jung Ha-yangs father, but when he received a wedding invitation from Alice Groups Min Soo-jin, he was speechless.
Moreover, Alice Group also sent a separate wedding invitation.
When Han Do-young, the next chairman of Sirius Group, heard about this, he encouraged his father to make a good appearance.
Would Seohyun come then?
It was the wedding of two people who might become the chairman of Alice Group.
It wouldnt be surprising if some famous people from the business world were there to tie the knot.
As he made his way to the waiting room where the bride was, Eunha scanned the crowd for Han Seohyun.
He couldnt look too far as the adults blocked his view.
If shes here, Im sure well bump into each other.
Huh? What?
I was wondering if Seohyun was here too.
Seoyeon is in the wedding hall. She just called me. Do you want me to ask her if Seohyun is here?
No. If she is, Ill see her later.
At the Player academy, Euna was living in the dormitory.
She came home every other weekend and seemed to be enjoying her time at the academy.
Eunha smiled with satisfaction as she chattered away happily.
Whenever Euna came home, she talked about missing her family, but in truth, Eunha missed her more than Euna missed him.
Eunae did, too. She would normally cling to Eunha, but when Euna came home, she would run out and hug her.
Oh, you look so pretty~ Congratulations on your wedding.
Congratulations on your wedding, your dress is beautiful!
You look beautiful!
Thank you, wasnt it hard to get here?
In the bridal waiting room, Min Su-jin, wearing a pure white dress, greeted them with a shy smile.
There were several strangers in the waiting room.
All of them were familiar with Min Su-jin.
Among them was Min Junsik.
Welcome, everyone.
Hello, Grandpa!
Hello.
Hi!!
Min Junsik put his hand under Eunaes shoulder and lifted her up.
Eunae giggled as she floated up from the floor.
Everyone was staring at them.
The people in the waiting room were wide-eyed at Min Junsiks behavior.
He was the chairman of Alice Group. Although he had retired from management, his achievements in bringing the group to the eighth position in the hierarchy of the once-destroyed world were admirable.
What they didnt expect was for him to lift the child up like a grandfather welcoming his granddaughter.
Father, why are you so nervous?
Hehe, you should have a kid of your own. Youll see how cute they are.
You used to hate kids.
There are exceptions.
By now, everyone knew who Min Junsik was.
Still, those who were familiar with him treated him casually.
Mom, Euna, and the other gentlemen were only slightly surprised to hear that he was the chairman of Alice Group.
Hayang too.
Is he reallymy grandfather?
Even when she was told her grandfathers identity, she accepted it in a dazed manner.
In fact, it was Jung Seok-hoon who was horrified to hear the identity.
From what Ive heard through Hayang, the way he looked when he met Min Junsik at the reunion was as surprised as someone who saw a dead man come back to life.
I dont know what that means, but he was quite surprised.
Come on in.
Welcome.
Of course, when Jung Seok-hoon met them in the grooms waiting room, there was no sign of what Hayang told him.
Instead, he was facing the dignitaries with a calm, if not nervous, demeanor.
Your father doesnt seem to be nervous, huh?
What? My dad is really nervous, hes been making the same face since the beginning.
I was thinking it was his charisma.
Eunha remembered Jung Seok-hoon giving a press conference before his regression.
Even then, he had the same face as now, revealing a gravity that could not be taken lightly.
He didnt realize it was nervousness.
Hayang, you look so beautiful today! Lets take a picture together!
Hehe, thanks big sister.
Eunae too!
What? Me too! Me too!
Take a picture of me too.
Today, Hayang was a little angel. Wearing clothes similar to those of Sujin, she tied her long hair with a pink ribbon and wore a tiara.
Euna pointed her phone at the screen, and the camera adjusted to capture her radiant face.
Her eyes sparkled like stars.
Eunha, come on!
Yeah, Ill go. Eunhyuk, lets go too.
Captain. Girls change so much when theyre dressed up.
Why is he saying such obvious things?
Eunha stood dumbfounded and looked at Eunhyuk, who was looking at the girls taking pictures of themselves.
He had a blank expression.
Eunhyuks reaction was understandable.
The children attending the wedding were wearing clothes they wouldnt normally wear and had changed their hairstyles noticeably.
From Minji, who wore a miniskirt, to Seona, who tied a ribbon to her ponytail.
Eunae had always been adorable.
Euna had learned from her friends at the secondary academy to apply light makeup.
As far as Eunha was concerned, the two of them were angels out of a painting.
No, Captain. Not Eunae and Euna.
Yeah, theyre pretty.
You dont sound like you are listening to me.
Because my sisters are the prettiest.
No Eunha! Choi Eunhyuk! What are you doing?
Minji called out to the two.
After making small talk, Eunha walked over to take a picture with Eunhyuk.
All of you, one, two, three chee~seez~zz!
Abu.
Before they knew it, Julieta had joined them. Holding the vernier, she made room for the two of them to enter.
Bruno was nowhere to be seen.
Apparently, hed gone to take a look around.
After last years incident, Bruno had been assigned to escort Alice Group.
Aaah! Sis, do it again! I closed my eyes!
Huh? Me too!
Really? Shall we do it again?
Eunae wants to take it!
The kids took dozens of pictures after that.
But only a few were successful.
The circular ceremony hall was the largest in Alice Hotel.
Jung Seok-hoon and Min Su-jin wanted to have a simple wedding, but Min Jun-sik suggested that they have their ceremony here.
Eunha, hello~
Noona, hello.
Han Seoyeon was able to meet him at the wedding.
She waved to Eunha after a happy reunion with Euna.
Seoyeon, wheres Seohyun?
Seohyun? Aah~ Eunha, what can I do. I didnt see her today.
Seoyeon covers her mouth with her hand and giggles.
Its not like that.
Im just asking because I cant see her.
Eunha sighed.
She loved to tease others.
It was obvious what she was thinking.
SeohyunIts because she doesnt like crowds. She doesnt come out unless its a party or a regular meeting that she has to attend.
But Eunha , I think she would have come if I told her that you were coming?
Yes, yes. Tell her Ill see her later. Im going to go back to my parents now, Eunae, lets go.
Yeah, Ill tell her. Oh, Eunha, you know were having a meeting over the summer, right?
Oh, I dont want to go.
I had no choice.
I couldnt leave Euna alone.
Eunha nodded and took a seat with Eunae.
The wedding ceremony began.
[Groom enters].
The candle lighting ceremony was omitted.
The door opened, and Jung Seok-hoon walked across the carpet to the dais.
His face was stiff. It was the same expression I saw in the waiting room.
[Continuing with the Brides Entrance.]
It was only when the bride walked down the aisle that Jung Seok-hoon relaxed.
Min Su-jin, holding Min Jun-siks hand, smiled softly.
Her face under the cotton cloth seemed to have all the happiness in the world.
The same could be said for Hayang, who followed her in.
Seok-hoon smiled at his angelic bride and fairy-like daughter.
[Oh, laughter is coming out already. Im so envious of the groom~!]
The guests burst out laughing.
Jung Seok-hoon shrugged and took the bride from Min Jun-sik.
Hayang took Min Junsiks hand and returned to her seat.
[Groom, Brides Oath.]
[Groom Jeong Seok-hoon, will you accept Bride Min Su-jin as your partner for life?
To love, honor, help, and protect her in times of joy and sorrow, treating her as you do your own body.]
It was the wedding vow.
The emcee who had brought laughter to the guests now presented the solemn oath to Jung Seok-hoon in a serious tone.
Seok-hoon took the oath. He turned to Su-jin and recited the vows he had prepared.
Su-jin received his words and then presented the vows she had prepared.
Cheers resonated throughout the venue.
Women looked at the two who were getting married with envy.
Except for one person.
If this were a drama, the protagonist would come in saying This marriage is void!
What were you expecting?
Just talking about it.
Guys, shhh! We need to be quiet, but I want to try on the wedding dress.
Can I try it on?
Seona didnt say the rest out loud.
She knew.
Perhaps the day would never come when she would wear a pure white dress and receive the blessings of others.
She gazed wistfully at the two receiving the blessing of many in the distance.
What are you going to do with your tail?
Ill poke a hole in it.
Thats expensive.
I know.
And inconvenient to move.
Of course.
But, it would be pretty to wear.
Right?
Eunhyuk said, watching the two exchange rings.
Seona thought the same thing.
In her wedding dress, Min Su-jin was the most beautiful person in the room.
[Next, we will have a congratulatory song. The first song will be performed by Mr. Jung Seok-hoons friend, Ms. No Julieta.]
Lets get up quickly. Lets get ready to sing the toast.
Euna got the kids up.
They were the ones who had agreed to sing the song with Hayang.
Oh, I dont want to.
No Eunha, what are you waiting for? Just go out and embarrass yourself. Its simple.
Its not my job, really.
Eunha was grabbed by Minji and forced to stand up.
Naturally, he went off-key several times during the song, causing the guests to burst out laughing.
Not all the guests were happy for the couples wedding.
[Continuing with the Brides Entrance.]
The ceremony began, and the venue went dark.
The guests, who had come to connect with Alice Group, gossiped as they watched Seok hoon Jung walk down the aisle.
Some people are lucky. They marry well and become tycoons.
But hes getting married again. Isnt that a waste of Su-jin?
Yeah, well, hes got a kid with him, there were rumors within the group too, right?
What about his ex wife? Is he divorced?
Hes widowed. Isnt that a little uncomfortable?
Why does Alices group give their second daughter in marriage to someone like that?
Why. None of the Alice Group heirs are married, and theyre all my age.
Im sure the chairman is happy that shes getting married now.
Oh, no. I should have pushed a little harder.
Perhaps the chairman is using this marriage to force the other heirs to marry?
Whatever. Life is about finding the right mate, and you dont go from running a neighborhood cafe to running with a chaebol.
Am I going to have to bow my head every time I see him? Its disrespectful.
[From the bride].
It was quiet in the front, but not in the back.
Is that her? Shes got the luxury of a fountain thanks to her dad.
She just got lucky with one parent. Her divorced mom must be pleased too.
Some people are lucky. Shes both Alice Groups granddaughter and
But could it be that shes not actually going to inherit Alice Group?
Oh, come on. The chairman must have plans. He wouldnt just hand over the chairman position to someone elses child, would he?
Ive seen these heirs of conglomerates up close. Those who come from outside usually have a yellow streak. She seems obvious too. Not using her own money, yet spending recklessly like a spendthrift, thats what shell do for sure.
Shes a cute kid. I bet shell get a lot of guys when she grows up.
Shhh! Anyway, youve got to look good for them.
Yeah, watch your language.
But still.
However.
Congratulations on meeting a good woman
Congratulations on meeting good parents
