Chapter 6

                                    

                                          
“Earlier, when I was walking Miss Lisa out the door…… she complimented me on my dress. At the time, I thought it was just a compliment, and I was happy……”
Somi fiddled with the hem of her dress. The dress she was wearing today was bought for her by Jungkook, who wanted her to wear it at his wedding.
She’d resisted the idea of wearing a white dress to a wedding, but Jungkook had begged her, saying, “This is ivory, not white.”
Besides, Lisa’s dress is white with a lot of gold threads, so it’s a lot more colorful than this dress, so she thought it would be okay to wear something more modest.
But if Lisa’s compliment, “Your dress looks great on you,” was meant to be sarcastic, she must have looked funny for grinning widely in front of her without realizing what she really meant.
“Do you think Miss Lisa was offended?”
Jungkook gritted his teeth at the mention of Somi’s dress.
‘How cowardly to talk to the powerless Somi, when you know very well that it was Ludwig’s family who prepared her dress……’
But Jungkook couldn’t see Somi’s heartbreak at the mention of this.
“No way. Given the dress she was wearing today, there was no way she’d be sensitive about your dress.”
“Oh, Miss Lisa was so pretty today, so sparkly and…….”
“She looked vulgar.”
“What do you mean, Jungkook, how can you call your own wife vulgar?” Somi asked, looking shocked.
Jungkook quickly calmed his ferocity. “I’m sorry, that was a harsh word to use in front of you.”
“Your apology should not be to me, but to Miss Lisa! Don’t you even feel sorry for her? She’s come here alone, where she doesn’t know anyone, trusting only you, and you’re supposed to look after her.”
But Somi’s concern for Lisa broke Jungkook’s heart.
He grabbed her wrist and asked in a low voice, “Did you mean what you said?”
“Jungkook……!”
“You’re mean, Somi. Do you really have no idea how I got through today……?”
Somi’s blue eyes trembled uneasily.
Jungkook was sure she knew his heart.
Somi was someone who could not express any opinion about this marriage. Maybe this was her way of trying to soothe his heart.
“Somi……”
“Jungkook, I’m…… I’m……”
As Somi was at a loss for words, Jungkook lifted her chin, the look of surprise on her face was adorable.
How comforting it was to see such sweetness and innocence, like spring sunshine.
Jungkook slowly brought his lips to hers.
“Somi!”
If it weren’t for the interruption, Jungkook might have been able to kiss her.
“M- Mingyu!”
Pulling away from Jungkook, Somi waved at Mingyu with an awkward smile.
“That guy is really……” Jungkook growled lowly, but Somi pretended not to hear.
And then Mingyu who had ruined Jungkook’s precious moment walked over, looking as if he hadn’t seen the two about to kiss at all.
“I’m surprised you’re not in your room. It’s late at night, but Jungkook, why are you out here, leaving the bride alone?”
