Memory

Chapter 20

With the wedding is in 5 days away, the engaged couple has been busy prepping day by day, with only a few minutes break in between their schedules during the preparation.

To Young Joon, it seemed as though Mi Jung knows her stuff as their wedding planning is going oddly well. It must be her expertise, that's what he thought since his fiancée works in that field.

As they're doing their fitting, Young Joon waits patiently for Mi Jung on the comfy sofa, his mind wanders but not daydreaming.

I wonder if Hee Joo's going, I haven't heard much after I handed the invitation. Thought Young Joon so suddenly.

There's no other thing to think about except Hee Joo in his head. Everything seems to be happening so fast and it might have made her feel overwhelmed by this, as so he thought.

Soon, his thoughts were interrupted by Mi Jung's calling for his attention, that he finally manages to compose himself.

"What do you think?" She asked as she twirls slowly with her hands open wide as she's being careful not to ruin the dress.

At the same time, Young Joon's jaw falls as he's astounded by the dress fitting her sculpted body well.

Suddenly, as though his mind is playing tricks on him, Hee Joo is in that white dress, as if she's the one doing the fitting with him instead.

It felt like Mi Jung wasn't even here at all.

"Hee Joo..." Young Joon whispered, his eyes didn't blink. His eyes looked longing as he continues to stares at her.

Mi Jung, standing opposite him, is flabbergasted as she heard the name she hates coming from his mouth. She frowns and started to feel annoyed as to why would her fiancé called out someone else's name on her.

"Babe?" She called out again, calmly this time, not wanting to cause any trouble between them.

As if her voice sounded like a siren, Young Joon gained consciousness and noticed Mi Jung's expressions have changed.

"What did you called me earlier?" Mi Jung questioned, her tone sounded mad but her expressions remain.

Young Joon was flustered by her question as he realized he was thinking about Hee Joo. He awkwardly shifts himself from where he's standing, and the assistant who's standing beside Mi Jung quietly walks away as the atmosphere feels heavy and intense.

"I-I'm sorry, it must've slipped my mind I-"

Mi Jung sighs, feeling slightly disappointed. She turns to him with a sad expression on her face, mixing with a concerned look.

"Are you unhappy that we're getting married? Or maybe is it too fast for you?" Asked Mi Jung, her eyes start to gleam with tears. She grips her dress and slowly walks towards him, her steps looked rough.

Young Joon flexibly grabs her arms to keep her balance as guilt consumes him by his behavior towards her. He sighs and rubs his temple in frustration.

"No, I am happy we're getting married, I've been so distracted with... things." He assured, trying to soothe down her anxiety with a warm hug. Acknowledging his behavior brought his fiancée into almost tears made him reflect on how much she cares about him so deeply.

This isn't right, I should've forgotten about Hee Joo when I already promised Mi Jung in marriage. He thought, getting a grip of himself while still in the embrace.

On the other hand, Mi Jung seems to feel impressed with herself for acting so well in pretending to be in sorrow. It's not a new thing for her to put on pity on herself, and since she's closer to tying the knot with the man she's silently obsessed with, her acting got so good that she even comparing herself with Hollywood's actors.
