Geum Seong-je. .²³

You had a best friend you'd known since school. Her name was Hwayoung. You were still friends, sharing secrets and discussing many things. But one day, your friend told you she was getting married. You were, of course, surprised that she'd gotten married before you, but you were thrilled for her and immediately started asking about her groom. He turned out to be a guy from the Soviet Union, Dongha. You were even more surprised then, as you hadn't expected your friend to marry such a man, but you didn't judge her choice. Later, Hwayoung sent you an invitation to the wedding and said she'd be looking forward to seeing you.
On her wedding day, your friend was absolutely beaming with joy, and her husband turned out to be quite a man—it was clear he loved her. So, when it was time to catch the bride's bouquet, you stood up too, just out of curiosity—whether you'd catch it or not. To everyone's surprise, you were the one who caught it. All that was left was to wait for your prince charming, and you didn't have to wait long.
Geum Sungjae, the Union's right-hand man, was present at that wedding. He was there as the best man. Upon seeing you, he realized he'd definitely fallen in love, and that same evening he asked Donghae for your number, simultaneously searching for information about you. As it turned out from his research, you attended the same university. Sungjae was studying to be a programmer, and you were studying psychology. However, Sungjae had his last year of school left, while you still had two. But he didn't see this as a big deal, so to save time, he texted you the next day, late in the evening, just as you were getting ready for bed.
Just as you were drifting off to sleep, the phone on the bedside table vibrated. Sighing in frustration—because all sleep had vanished—you picked it up and opened a message from an unknown number.

• "Beauty, does your mother need a son-in-law?"
