17. Bridesmaids At Work

Maena and Bora sat in a lounge together and taking a break between their lectures. They have their exams soon, so Maena still tried to study even on the breaks. "Hi, girls.", Jihoon's voice was heard close to them and he soon plunged on the same couch the two were sitting in. 

"Hi.", Bora replied with her gaze still on her phone. 

"Who are you texting?", Jihoon inquired, seeing her tapping her phone continually. Bora didn't answer but a smile crept on her face. 

"It's that guy she had a thing at the get-together.", Maena revealed. 

Jihoon gasped. "Aaaalrightt." 

"He's so sweet.", Bora said eagerly and giggled. 

Maena and Jihoon looked each other and Maena slowly shook her head, telling that whatever the two had wasn't going to last long. But honestly, who knows. "Sorry about yesterday by the way. I didn't really mean to be with Joon. He just is friends with my friends and yeah..", Jihoon said to Maena. 

"It's fine.",Maena assured, really carrying no hard feeling. "I actually had something to ask you but of course I didn't want to ask about it yesterday."

"What's it?"

Maena looked around her to make sure no one was hearing them. "Do you want to come to my wedding? I asked Sunghoon's father and he said I can invite friends. Bora will also come."

"Your wedding? And that handsome fiance of yours? Oh, hell yeah I'm coming.", Jihoon answered without much hesitation.

"That's what I thought. It's on June 1st. And I guess like I'll give you some kind of invitation soon that other guests are getting too.", Maena said. 

"Okey, dokey. I need to find my suit at home then."

Before Maena's day at university was over she received a message from her mother saying that she was going to pick her up today. It's really unusual, so she probably had something to do with her. And maybe it's good, since she haven't been alone with her mother for a while.

She quickly found her mother's car in the parking lot, but she didn't only see her mother waving at her eagerly. She saw her two aunts too, her mother's sisters that she haven't seen in a while since they don't live in Seoul.

"Maena! Our favourite niece!", Mirae, her mother's older sister called eagerly and spread her arms to hug Maena. Maena happily went to them and hugged her and her other aunt, Minji, too. 

"What are you doing here?", Maena asked with a smile. She was happy to see her aunts but doesn't get why they're already here. Her wedding is in a week. 

"We're going for shopping.", Minji stated.

"A wedding dress shopping.", Maena's mother added with a smile. 

Maena almost forgot about that. She also needs a wedding dress. And a shopping day for that with her aunts and mother would be awesome. "Okay.", she smiled as they started to get in the car. 

"Oh my gosh, right. Is Leo here too?", Maena asked Minji with widened eyes. She hasn't seen her cousin in a long period of time. But he hasn't said anything that they're coming already.

"Yes. We just came and he's at the hotel with his father. I told him not to tell you anything about our coming, so it's a surprise.", Minji answered. 

"Awesome!", Maena replied in excitement. She will definitely hang out with Leo soon, they have a lot to catch up. He's seventeen, soon eighteen and in the last grade of high school. She remembers him being at her graduation, so she wants to be in his too, but she isn't sure when that is held.
