[Guild] Mochabun: Sleepy and the guild master are really getting married tomorrow?
[Guild] Mochabun: For real?!?!
[Guild] ImSoSleepy: Yeah
It was Friday, the day before the wedding. Even though it was just in-game, getting married meant there was a lot to prepare.
From reserving the cathedral where the wedding would be held, to buying the wedding outfits and sending out the invitations… Since Yoochae said she'd be late logging in today, I had to do it all myself and was completely swamped.
[Guild] DrinkWaterPls: You better reserve that ahead of time.
[Guild] ImSoSleepy: Already did lol
[Guild] LetsDoSeSeSe: Can I get a wedding invite too?
[Guild] ImSoSleepy: Check your mail in an hour lol
[Guild] ManaOutGuy: What about the dress?
[Guild] ImSoSleepy: Bought it
[Guild] Mochabun: I heard if you bring special flowers from Taranto Island,
[Guild] Mochabun: you can hold a glowing bouquet.
[Guild] ImSoSleepy: That's why I'm on Taranto Island right now…
[Guild] DrinkWaterPls: LMAOOOO
[Guild] LetsDoSeSeSe: This is getting serious lmfaooo
[Guild] Hwasoun: At this point, isn't Sleepy super serious about this wedding..?
[Guild] Haeren: Let them enjoy it
[Guild] ImSoSleepy: Lol what are you even talking about;;
I just wanted to do it properly since we were going through with it. I felt so wronged, but I needed the flowers, so I kept gathering them.
With brown hair, I figured a yellow-toned bouquet would suit her—but of course, yellow flowers were the hardest to find. I had to search Taranto Island for ages.
After finally gathering the 30 flowers needed for the bouquet, the invitations I had set up earlier were sent out, and messages started flooding in.
[MelodyCode: You're getting married? LMAO]
[MelodyCode: What's the other person's IGN? lol this is hilarious]
[MelodyCode: It's Sleepy's partner??? OMG lolololol]
[InnocenceMed: Bruhㅡㅡ]
[InnocenceMed: You wouldn't do PVP with me, but you're getting married??]
[InnocenceMed: Can I crash it and start a PVP fight?]
[SoeSoe: You ditched me and Haeseong to go game…]
[SoeSoe: Now you're sending wedding invites?]
[SoeSoe: Unforgivable]
[SoeSoe: I'm screenshotting this and posting it in the group chat bye]
God, these people are so annoying…
While handing the flowers to the church NPC, I replied to Kim Daeseok.
[ImSoSleepy: It was seriously a prior engagement]
[SoeSoe: Cap ]
[ImSoSleepy: You wanna go to war with me now?]
[ImSoSleepy: You want me to leak your cringy past pics saved on my phone?]
[SoeSoe: Bro…]
[SoeSoe: I will absolutely attend your wedding, sir]
[ImSoSleepy: Good.]
Trying to act all tough. I shut down Kim Daeseok easily and then replied to the other two.
[ImSoSleepy: Why are you trash-talking someone else's fiancé?ㅡㅡ]
[ImSoSleepy: Don't even think about coming]
I had checked the box to send the invite to all friends and guild members because I couldn't be bothered to go through each person, but I started to regret it.
Those three could've just not shown up. Damn it.
[Guild] DrinkWaterPls: Ooh the invite's here lololol
[Guild] Mochabun: You need the invite
[Guild] Mochabun: to enter the venue, right?
[Guild] Haeren: Yep, that's right
[Guild] SpicyCrabYum: LOL Sleepy's getting married lmaoooo
[Guild] RerererekCaughtCold: "ImSoSleepy and Sleepy's partner will tie the knot in blissful union" <— this line seriously cracked me up fml
[Guild] Hwasoun: "Blissful" "Union"
[Guild] ManaOutGuy: More like a union from losing a gear upgrade bet, not blissful lol
[Guild] Haeren: This is why luck is everything in life
[Guild] Haeren: He got lucky and managed to marry his crush… geez;;**
[Guild] TheHunter: For real…
[Guild] TheHunter: Who would've thought he'd succeed at enhancement?
[Guild] TheHunter: The odds were insanely low
[Guild] DrinkWaterPls: He won the enhancement bet
[Guild] DrinkWaterPls: and was trying to shut down all the wedding talk… but it backfired and now he's actually getting married LOL
[Guild] LetsDoSeSeSe: This is legendary, Sleepy
[Guild] ImSoSleepy: lol…
Right then, the NPC handed me the bouquet—a radiant item glowing brightly in yellow, saying it was complete.
Standing alone with the bouquet while my guildmates teased me brought on a massive wave of existential dread.
'What the hell is this, f*ck…'
I was the one being forced into this wedding, but somehow it felt like the opposite.
Annoyance bubbled up inside me. I was seriously tempted to toss the bouquet I'd worked so hard to make. That's when a notification popped up—Yoochae had logged in.
[Guild] Yoochae: Hyung!
[Guild] Yoochae: I'm here!
[Guild] DrinkWaterPls: The bride's arrived
[Guild] LetsDoSeSeSe: The bride lmaoooo
[Guild] CrazyHunterDude: Look at her running straight to her groom the moment she logs in. Cute ^^
[Guild] Mochabun: So sweet, so sugary
[Guild] Haeren: At this rate, they're gonna fall for each other for real
[Guild] Hwasoun: If that happens, I'll support it
[Guild] Hwasoun: I don't have that kind of prejudice, y'know.. hehe
[Guild] DoraheeHere: Me too, hehe
[Guild] Yoochae: Got it, noted
[Guild] ImSoSleepy: Shut the hell up
[Guild] Yoochae: Where are you?
[Guild] ImSoSleepy: In front of the cathedral
[Guild] Haeren: Why was the guild master so late?
[Guild] Haeren: Sleepy had to prep the whole wedding solo
[Guild] DrinkWaterPls: Fr, are you trash?
[Guild] ManaOutGuy: He even went to Taranto Island to pick flowers
[Guild] DoraheeHere: I heard the bouquet is really important to the bride, hehe
[Guild] Hwasoun: For his one and only lovely bride…
[Guild] Hwasoun: the groom went to a deserted island to pick flowers by hand…
[Guild] TheHunter: Damn, that's wild. Absolutely wild
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: What's this? So romantic~ lol
[Guild] DrinkWaterPls: He even prepped the dress…
[Guild] DrinkWaterPls: And sent out the invitations…
[Guild] Yoochae: Oh right
[Guild] Yoochae: I got my invitation too
[Guild] Yoochae: Hyung, I love you too ♥
[Guild] TheHunter: LOLOLOLOL
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: Ahahaha omg lol
I sighed deeply, covering my eyes with one hand.
It was funny—just moments ago I was pissed because Yoochae wasn't here, and now I was pissed because he was. I'd never met anyone like this in my life.
[World Chat] Yoochae: Hyung~
[World Chat] Yoochae: Your fox-like bride is here >.<
He must've used a teleport item, because he appeared through a portal that opened up across from me.
He dashed over and stood beside me, wagging his tail energetically like a fox.
[World Chat] Yoochae: Were you really busy today??
[World Chat] Yoochae: I really wanted to play with you, but I had something I absolutely couldn't skip
[World Chat] Yoochae: I swear I won't miss tomorrow!
[World Chat] Yoochae: Wait, did you actually go to Taranto Island and gather flowers?
[World Chat] Yoochae: To make me a pretty bouquet?
[World Chat] Yoochae: Hyung, is that the bouquet you're holding right now?
[World Chat] Yoochae: Yellow flowers are really hard to get.
[World Chat] Yoochae: You even sent the invitations and made all the reservations ;ㅡ;
[World Chat] Yoochae: I seriously like you so much…
"..."
Reading Yoochae's messages, overflowing with cuteness, I was surprised to feel my irritation start to fade.
Even I found the shift in my mood ridiculous… but still, Yoochae seemed genuinely sorry. Maybe that was enough. It's not like I'd been through hell—just did a bit of work alone in a game. No point staying mad forever.
I forced my lips, which kept wanting to curl upward, back down and started typing.
[World Chat] ImSoSleepy: Yeah yeah, just join the party already.
[World Chat] Yoochae: Okayyy
Yoochae, quick to pick up on my improved mood, immediately joined the party I'd created.
[Party] ImSoSleepy: I mostly sent the invitations to guild members.
[Party] ImSoSleepy: If there's anyone else you want to invite, set it now.
[Party] Yoochae: Nah, no one for me!
[Party] Yoochae: Hyung, I went outside today and it's gotten really chilly.
[Party] Yoochae: I heard it's supposed to rain next week too.
[Party] Yoochae: You should wear something warm when you go to your part-time job.
[Party] ImSoSleepy: Part-time?
[Party] ImSoSleepy: I'm taking a break from that since school starts again next week.
'Wait, isn't he a college student?'
He said he was a year younger than me, so I'd assumed he was in college.
I mean, I know people our age could be working or unemployed too. Or he could've lied about his age entirely.
Yoochae seemed a bit flustered at my response.
[Party] Yoochae: Oh, school's starting already?
[Party] Yoochae: I totally forgot—been on a leave of absence for a while.
[Party] ImSoSleepy: Military leave?
[Party] Yoochae: Nope
[Party] Yoochae: Just…
[Party] Yoochae: Did you do your homework today, hyung?
[Party] Yoochae: I didn't, help me out!
Yoochae obviously changed the subject, bouncing around and suggesting we go hunting together.
Of course, he dodged anything related to personal details. Not answering the military leave question—was that just because he didn't want to reveal if he'd served, or because he didn't want me to know he's not even old enough for that yet?
Either way, it meant he didn't want to be honest with me. That stung a bit.
'Whatever. Why do I even care.'
Brushing the weird feeling off as I scratched the back of my neck, I initiated a trade and handed him the bouquet I made myself.
[Party] ImSoSleepy: Put this on your alt
[Party] ImSoSleepy: I haven't done my homework either so let's go
