"HOCHZEIT"

(WEDDING)

...

The apartment was a complete mess... but the happy kind of mess.

Wedding magazines, color palettes, invitation samples, ribbons, and boxes of small gift bags were scattered across the dining table. Sooyoung sat cross-legged on the floor surrounded by envelopes while Sungjae sat beside her trying to tie a tiny ribbon around a sample gift box.

He stared at it with deep concentration.

"...Why is this so hard?" he muttered.

Sooyoung glanced over and immediately burst out laughing.

"Yah, that ribbon looks like it survived a hurricane."

Sungjae looked offended "It's abstract."

"Abstract?" she teased. "It's crooked."

Before Sungjae could argue back, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" Sooyoung jumped up excitedly.

When she opened the door, she immediately squealed.

"Alice!"

Her cousin stood there holding a large tote bag full of crafting supplies. Beside her was a small girl with bright eyes and long hair.

"Hi unnie!" the little girl said happily. Sooyoung bent down and hugged her.

"Rosè! You got so big!"

Rosè giggled. "Mom said I'm your assistant wedding planner today."

Alice laughed as she stepped inside.

"Well someone needs to help you two before this wedding turns into a disaster."

Sungjae walked over and bowed politely "Alice noona, thank you for coming."

She looked at the table covered in supplies and whistled.

"Oh wow... you two really started the chaos already."

Rosè ran straight to the table. "I want to help with invitations!"

Sooyoung clapped her hands happily. "Perfect! Rosè you can put the stickers on the envelopes."

The little girl took the task very seriously, carefully sticking gold seals onto each invitation. Meanwhile Alice sat beside Sooyoung helping organize the guest list.

Across the table Sungjae was still struggling with the ribbons when his phone rang. He answered it and put it on speaker. It was his older sister.

"Hey little brother, just letting you know I finished testing the cake flavors."

Sooyoung's eyes lit up. "Oh! What flavor did you decide?"

His sister chuckled. "I'm making a three-tier cake. Vanilla bean, strawberry cream, and chocolate mousse."

Sungjae nodded approvingly. "That sounds amazing."
