Later, Jake approaches Leon and says, "Have you met Hailey yet?" Leon shook his head no."Why? Jake asked pensively, then blurted out. "Oh, I know why! I forgot that since you married Soo-hee, you no longer speak English. Hold up. I'll be right back. No problem, I'll translate for you, hyung!"Before Leon could stop Jake, he was off to get Hailey.

    ~We may not be sure this is my ideal partner or perfect husband.~ Hailey stood in front of Jake and their wedding guest, with a whirlwind of emotions swirling within her. The tremors in her body were a mix of adrenaline and anxiety, her heart racing so loudly she was sure everyone in the room could hear it. There she was, in a beautiful white dress that clung to her figure, betraying the bump that had formed beneath it. Judgmental and unforgiving eyes were upon her. She could practically feel the weight of their stares on her skin, a constant reminder of societal expectations that loomed larger than life.The justice of the peace cleared his throat, and his voice cut through the tension like a knife. “Jake, you may now kiss your bride.” That phrase, meant to bring them together, suddenly felt like a boulder resting on her chest.

Leon chuckled, still shaking his head at Jake as he threw the small football back across the room to Leon. Leon laughed as he caught the ball. "Don't worry about that; you'll see soon enough.”“Alright then, let's prepare your nervous lips to say those vows and kiss your pretty bride." "Oh, I'm ready! That's the best part. Kissing the bride." Jake replied, puckering his lips, teasing Leon. The guys got their cue to march out. Jake says, "I wish Maw and Paw

It will never be forgotten.~ Bridgette was the first client at this upscale beauty salon she frequented on Friday evening. “Diane, make me stunning!
