"NO, I DON’T want you in my wedding, Song Sua. I’m not going to waste my money flying you to our wedding destination. I’m not paying for your accommodations or whatever either."
"So what? I don’t need you to pay for . I have my own money."
Aigooya.
Garam just ignored Song Sihyuk and Song Sua bickering.
Song Sua was Song Sihyuk’s oldest cousin.
Sua Noona owns SG Rona Bella Corporation— a costics, health, and beauty product company and chain. Plus, she’s also the half-sister of the illegitimate bastard who had fun pretending as Sihyuk Hyung before.
"Gunwoo-ya, look at what your favorite uncle brought you as a gift," Choi Sumin, the youngest male among the Song Cousins, said cheerfully while handing Song Gunwoo a very expensive drone. Yeah, not the cheap kind that kids could play with, but a fancy drone equipped with a high-quality cara. "Do you want to teach you how to fly this baby?"
"Yes, Uncle Sumin! Thank you," Song Gunwoo answered enthusiastically. "But you’re not my favorite uncle."
"You’re hurting your uncle’s feelings, Gunwoo-ya."
"Sorry, Uncle."
"You just made it worse, kid."
Pfft.
Garam smiled while listening to Choi Sumin "sulking" because of Song Gunwoo’s teasing.
But he was happy to see Choi Sumin.
Sumin Hyung has always been the friendliest among Sihyuk Hyung’s cousins. Plus, he was never interested in their company. In fact, Sumin Hyung finally had the courage to pursue what he really wanted in life— to be a pilot.
"Garam-ah, can I play with Gunwoo outside?" Choi Sumin asked, smiling. "We’ll just play with this drone."
"I don’t mind. But, Sumin Hyung, that drone looks like the type that should be registered first," Garam asked worriedly. After all, the drone didn’t look like a simple drone. "Are you sure you’re allowed to fly that thing for fun?"
Choi Sumin tilted his head to one side, clearly confused. "Who’s going to get mad if I fly this unregistered drone? The governnt? That doesn’t sound like a big deal, then."
Aigooya.
Choi Sumin didn’t sound sarcastic— the dude really thought that committing a petty cri was nothing.
These chaebols really don’t respect the governnt...
"It’s fine, Garam-ah," Song Sua, who had just finished arguing with Song Sihyuk, assured him. "That drone is fancy and expensive, but we don’t need to register it before flying. I helped Sumin choose that model, so I made sure it won’t cause our precious nephew a problem."
That was a relief.
"Thank you for letting know, Sua Noona," Garam said, and then he looked at Choi Sumin. "Then please play with my son well, Sumin Hyung."
Choi Sumin smiled and nodded, and then he held Song Gunwoo’s hand. "Let’s go, Gunwoo-ya."
"Okay, Uncle," Song Gunwoo said cheerfully, then he waved at Garam and Song Sihyuk, who was already standing next to Garam. "Bye, Dad and Daddy. I’m gonna play with Uncle Sumin."
"Have fun, baby."
And after Song Gunwoo left with Choi Sumin...
"Garam-ah, thank you for inviting us to your wedding!" Song Sua said excitedly while hugging Garam. "Our other cousins are in different countries at the mont, but we’ll surely make it to your wedding next year."
The wedding was set for March, and it would be in a castle in Scotland.
Even though Song Sua said ’next year,’ next year was just four months away.
Our Save the Dates are out, and we’ll send the official wedding invitations soon.
Song Sua and Song Sumin visited their house to give their RSVP personally.
And to visit my adorable son, of course.
"You’re welco, Noona," Garam said after their short hug (because Song Sihyuk glared at Song Sua, saying that the hug was taking too long for his liking). "Actually, I’m glad that you’re here. Can I ask for your help?"
Song Sua was about to answer, but...
"Honey, why are you asking Song Sua instead of ?" Song Sihyuk asked, obviously sulking. "I can help..."
"No, we’re going to talk about dresses," Garam said while shaking his head. "What do you know about dresses, Hyung?"
"Ah, I see," Song Sihyuk said, nodding. "But is there anything I can help with?"
"Of course, Hyung. You’re in charge of the male guests’ attire."
Since Garam had a the in mind, they would take care of their guests’ wedding outfits.
Thankfully, Song Sihyuk didn’t mind.
He’s the one who said the sky is the limit for our wedding budget anyway.
"Oh, okay," Song Sihyuk said, nodding again. "I’ll take care of it."
"Make sure everyone will look like an aristocrat from a romance fantasy manhwa, Hyung," Garam said to the Alpha before facing Song Sua. "Noona, can you help with making sure that our female guests will look like ladies from noble families?"
Song Sua smiled and nodded. "Leave it to , Garam-ah."
***
GARAM’S wedding was as beautiful as he imagined it to be.
The castle in Scotland that served as their wedding destination was breathtaking.
Moreover, the guests all looked like nobles attending a royal wedding.
It made the picture look more perfect.
Garam and Song Sihyuk got married in the private chapel inside the castle.
While the guests looked like nobles, the two of them wore wedding suits that made them look like royals.
Of course, their one and only son looked like a very adorable crown prince.
His forr group mbers, his precious friend and dongsaengs, sang a heartfelt love song as he walked down the aisle.
H couldn’t ask for a more perfect wedding ceremony than that.
"... you may now seal your promise of eternal love with a kiss."
After the wedding officiant said that, Garam looked up at Song Sihyuk...
... and then he chuckled.
"Hyung, are you crying?"
Song Sihyuk wasn’t sobbing, but the Alpha was teary-eyed.
I can’t believe Hyung is crying.
It wasn’t the first ti he saw Song Sihyuk cry, but it was the first ti the Alpha allowed himself to be vulnerable in front of other people.
In front of their friends and family, at that.
Now Garam felt like crying, too.
"Everyone here knows that I don’t deserve you, Garam-ah."
The crowd reacted to that— agreeing with Song Sihyuk.
But the loudest "We know!" ca from Song Sua.
Garam smiled, but he wondered if Song Sihyuk would bicker with his cousin in the middle of the ceremony.
Fortunately, the Alpha was too emotional to pay attention to Song Sua.
"But, even though I’m aware that I don’t deserve you, I’m too selfish and greedy to let you go," Song Sihyuk said in a cracked voice, his gaze focused on Garam as if the only person he could see was Garam. "So, thank you for taking rcy on . Thank you for taking a chance on again. And thank you for giving the honor of being your husband for the second ti. I’ve said this plenty of tis before, but I’ll say it again— I won’t make you regret choosing over your peace of mind. I’ll spend my entire life proving to you that you didn’t make a mistake by choosing one more ti."
"I’m looking forward to it, Hyung," Garam said, smiling as tears roll down his cheeks. "Let’s live together happily this ti."
Song Sihyuk smiled and nodded.
", too!" Song Gunwoo yelled happily, making the guests laugh. "I’ll live with Dad and Daddy happily, too!"
Pfft.
Garam and Song Sihyuk smiled at each other, and then they kissed before turning to their one and only son.
The two of them motioned for Song Gunwoo to co.
And their child happily ran towards them.
Our adorable baby.
Garam and Song Sihyuk then bent their knees to et Song Gunwoo’s eye level, and then they both kissed each of their one and only son’s cheeks.
That day, they painted a picture of a happy family.
***
"ARE YOU happy now, Garam-ah?"
Garam smiled at Gong Hanseo’s question.
He and his forr group mbers gathered in his dressing room.
The reception party had already started.
Song Sihyuk, who changed his clothes first, went out to entertain the guests and give him ti to hang out with his friends.
After all, it had been a while since their group gathered.
Gong Hanseo, Garam’s only hyung in the group.
Then their dongsaengs: Kwon Jigu, Lee Eunsang, and Finn.
Their group didn’t last long, and everyone was doing different things now, but their bond remained strong.
Because we’re not just co-workers— we are a family.
"Yes, I’m happy now."
That confident and sincere statent from Garam made his group mbers smile, relieved.
It wasn’t a strange reaction.
They know that I suffered a lot before, so they’re relieved that I can say I’m happy now.
"I’m really glad to hear that, Hyung," Finn said, smiling. "And we can see that you’re truly happy this ti."
"I still think Sihyuk Hyung-nim is scary, but he softened up a little," Lee Eunsang, their youngest, said. "He still looks at us as if we’re beneath him, but at least, he doesn’t glare at us anymore. And he even allowed us to call him ’hyung.’"
"That’s the bare minimum to be a decent human being, but yes, that’s Sihyuk Hyung being kind already," Garam said while shaking his head. "I’m not proud of this, but Sihyuk Hyung looks at everyone except and Gunwoo as if they are beneath him. So, don’t feel bad. He’s equally rude to everyone."
His group mbers laughed.
But I’m not joking...
"Hyung, thank you for inviting us to this important mont of your life," Kwon Jigu said, almost crying now. "We’re really, really happy to see you finally happy again."
When Kwon Jigu cried, Lee Eunsang and Finn also started crying.
Aigooya.
"These crybabies," Garam said teasingly, and then he looked at Gong Hanseo. "Hyung, this is your fault for raising these kids soft..."
Huh?
Garam trailed off when he saw Gong Hanseo crying like a baby.
Oh, dear.
"I may sound like a broken record now, but I really, really am glad and relieved that you’re finally happy again, Garam-ah," Gong Hanseo said between sobs. "You’ve regained what you’ve lost."
Ironically, the person who took everything away from Garam in the past was also the person who gave everything he had now.
But, at the mont, he realized that he had already let go of their painful history.
And that’s why I can confidently say that I’m happy again.
Garam burst into tears after the realization hit him.
And his forr mbers— his family— consoled him with a tight and warm group hug.
***
"YOU CRIED?"
Garam smiled at Song Sihyuk’s soft question while dancing.
It was the part of the reception party where the newlyweds, along with the other guests, danced to a love song.
Even his in-laws were on the dance floor with them.
Shin Geon and Shin Junho, too.
Most of all, their son was also having fun.
Song Gunwoo was dancing with Mija (the shaman) and Shin Jina (Shin Geon and Shin Junho’s daughter).
It was already late, but yes, the kids were still awake.
It’s just for tonight, so it should be fine.
"Your eyes are puffy, honey."
"Really? The make-up artists tried to hide it with concealer, though," Garam said worriedly. "Is it that obvious?"
"Not really, unless soone cos as close as this."
"Then you’re the only one who’s going to notice, Hyung."
Song Sihyuk frowned. "I don’t like it when you cry, Garam-ah."
"I shed happy tears, Hyung."
"Oh, that’s fine then. But what made you so happy that you cried?"
"I’m just happy," Garam said, shrugging. "You gave my dream wedding, Hyung."
Well, it was just one of the things that made him happy today.
But if he blurted out all the things that he had realized earlier, he might end up crying again. Hence, he kept it simple.
We can talk about it so other ti.
"If you’re already happy with this, then I’m afraid you’ll shed more happy tears later," Song Sihyuk whispered into Garam’s ears teasingly. "I’ll give you a wedding night you’ll never forget, honey."
Garam laughed softly, already looking forward to their honeymoon.
And, of course, the Alpha delivered.
That night, for their wedding night, Song Sihyuk wore the pretty wedding gown that he tried on before...
... and then the Alpha finally bit and marked Garam on the nape.
Ah, I feel like my life is already complete.
Well, not until another angel joins their family, much, much later.
