Yongguk's eyes slowly swept back and forth, taking in sights of the reception decor, the themed lighting, and guests moving around the room to and fro. The drink in his hand, warm in his throat, had almost run out, while he sat on his designated spot waiting for a chance to greet the newlyweds. When that chance came, he set his glass down and rose from his seat. He shuffled past a small crowd, successfully glaring maybe one or two people out of his way as he marched over to where the newlyweds were. Clearing his throat, he bowed his head in greeting, a slight discrepancy from his usual nod and grunt. "Congratulations, both of you."
"You're being a real darling." Hyoyeon said to the male, smiling softly as she gave him a light hug. She knew he wasn't one for affection in public nor a man of many words from what she had gotten to know of him. But she knew how to interpret his words so she was more than content with what he said. "Are you enjoying yourself or do you think it's too corny?" Of course the blonde bride would hope it wasn't since you couldn't make everything right for everyone but since he was dear to her, she wanted him to have fun for her and party it up to celebrate the couple's new formed and (hopefully) eternal bond.
Yongguk tensed at the embrace, but he stayed on his spot and reciprocated with a gentle pat on the bride's back. "Yeah, everything's good by me. Don't worry about it." He looked around briefly, seeing if anyone else were waiting for him to move out of the way and let them talk to the newlyweds. Finding no one, his line of sight shifted back towards Hyoyeon, and a hint of a smile lit his features. "Are you enjoying yourself?"
"Of course I am! Wouldn't it be stupid not at your own wedding?" she laughed and mentioned rather wildly with her hands at the decorations and lights and everything, bouncing even a bit. "Waaaah~ look isn't it so pretty? And the light and the iced trees and everything!" And just grinned up at Yongguk. "Did I ever tell you that as a friend I really like you? And I am happy for you too and happy you always seem to make an effort for me? You mean to me so... thank you."
One corner of Yongguk's mouth ticked upwards into a smirk. "You wouldn't enjoy it as much if you keep fussing over everyone." His eyes followed Hyoyeon's hands, scanning the decor and the lighting fixtures, which he couldn't help but find impressive. This was a far cry from a normal college party. Granted, it was a wedding, and the couple's parents may or may not have helped out with putting all of this together, but he couldn't discredit the couple who did most if not all of the planning for this.
His attention, however, quickly drew away from the event arrangement and towards Hyoyeon. Another smirk crept up to his mouth. "It doesn't take a lot of effort to drag myself to a church and pick a seat, sis." A soft chuckle then escaped him. "Kidding aside, you're welc- what the-"
He didn't imagine that, he told himself; someone just pinched his ass. Eyes wide, he quickly turned around to see the culprit, trained fists clenched and ready, briefly forgetting that this was a wedding, and he shouldn't cause trouble. But he froze on his
( ... )
"It's how I am though! A helper mom and worrier! You still haven't seenme like this much though hm?" Indeed the decor was impressive, something she always wanted because she believed in only becoming married once. Like this whole leave with a BANG thing.
"Well what about the party though?" She then watched his facial expression change and laughed when he saw Byunghee's grandmother show up behind Yongguk. It had her laugh and softly hug the older lady. "Halmoni!" she said and smiled, motioning towards Yongguk. "This is the president of my sorority's fraternity, Bang Yongguk. He is a bit rough around the edges and gruff but he is a really kind and nice person once you can overlook the faces he makes and how he constantly looks like nothing is right n well... his smiles are rare. So this cutie, don't tell your grandson, is probably the guy I'd have went after... but he has a girlfriend too. Sad huh?" But laughed then, smiling at Yongguk with a cheeky wink.
Tense and still wide-eyed, Yongguk stared at the older lady. The gesture, or lack thereof, seemingly amused the old woman even more, drawing out another giggle that quickly evolved into a full-fledged cackle. Awkwardness made him inch back slowly, but he still found it in himself to bow in greeting, body parallel to the floor. "Pleased to meet you, Ma'am." He then stood straight, doing his best not to look embarrassed, but mostly failing.
Byunghee's grandmother returned the hug and curled her arms around the young bride. Pulling back slightly, she then grinned at Hyoyeon in all her dentured glory. "I can see why you would have gone after him! I like the dark and brooding types, too." Then her grin widened. Hyoyeon was likely to know that she was joking. This young boy who didn't know her, on the other hand, was going to be tormented, and she was going to enjoy it. "But unlike you, no girlfriend ever stopped me, sugar. So if you won't take him, I just might climb him like a tree and make him your grandpappy."
It was a feast for the eyes to see the man this awkward and for once it wasn't Hyoyeon's fault he was feeling like this. She just gave him a pat to his back as she was let go from the hug, before laughing softly. "Well his girlfriend is a close friend of mine so.. and what about poor Byungie? I can't just let him stand in the rain now!" Teasingly she would put the side of her head on Yongguk's shoulder, grinning up at him. "Actually... how come the bride is with you n you don't bring her a drink or ask her for a dance. Yah!" And laughed again at the man.
The hardest part of having such a huge event that was to celebrate you and not being just a guest was trying to entertain and greet everyone and thank everyone. Especially when he knew he needed to pay as much attention to the guests and his wife as well. The floor was quite filled and he was smiling, because he couldn't stop smiling.
"Ah.....Bunny Baby!" He couldn't stop snickering as he remembered how and what happeend to him with the strippers, "I'm kidding, thank you, sir. I'm glad that you could come and celebrate with us." He smiled at the other and reached out to shake his hands.
The memory of Byunghee's bachelor party drew a grunt from Yongguk, but he stopped himself from mentioning it. He knew Hyoyeon was likely aware of what happened, but he figured it still wasn't his place to talk about what should have been a secret, not his secret at that. "Sup." Done with being formal, Yongguk nodded and gave Byunghee a mock salute before taking the groom's hand in a firm handshake. An almost-smile formed on his features. "Thanks for the invite. Place looks great."
