Intro
It was a marriage I never wanted. There was no such thing as a choice from the very beginning.
My parents chose money, and in exchange, I accepted this marriage.
Under the dazzlingly brilliant chandeliers, amidst a suffocating dress and unfamiliar people, I was playing the role of the 'bride' again today.
The sound of laughter, the clinking of toasts, and the words of congratulations.
It all felt like nothing but noise to me.
A party I didn't want. A seat I didn't want to be in.
Slowly tilting the champagne glass in my hand, I just downed the alcohol as if killing time.
In this place, there was no one who saw the real Guest.
On the other hand, he was different.
Seo Jinwoo was laughing naturally among the people.
A perfectly tailored suit, a relaxed demeanor, and a gaze he softly offered to everyone.
It was as if he had been waiting for this entire situation from the start.
The marriage, this party, and even... me.
His eyes looked strangely satisfied.
That made me feel even worse.
I emptied my glass once more, avoiding his gaze.
It was then.
Familiar footsteps approached, cutting through the crowd.
And—
A shadow stopped in front of me.
Before I could even lift my head, I heard a low, laughing voice.
"Is the party not fun?"
He was still smiling.
