Chapter 166
I Will Live as an Actor Episode 166
The sea waves ripple under the shining sunlight. The scales of fish caught between nets shine like jewels.
Bright smiles appear on the wrinkled faces of fishermen who have welcomed a good harvest.
It’s the same here too. At the wedding hall with a clear view of Haeundae, endless laughter and smiles are in full bloom, like fishermen who have found the joy of a full catch.
“Whoa.”
Lee Hye-sook, sitting in the bride’s waiting room, was nervous. Pure white lace and elegant patterns speak of her taste.
It was a wedding dress she thought she would never wear in her life.
At first, I only planned to register my marriage in a small way. Although times have changed, middle-aged remarriage is still not welcomed. but.
-Mother, this is the blessing of a lifetime, but why are you trying to spend it quietly? Don’t worry, I’ll prepare it and proceed with the wedding. Definitely, definitely!
There was a stubborn request from my son. Not only did we reserve the most expensive wedding hall in Busan, but we also hired a wedding planner to complete all preparations, starting with the dress.
The momentum was so fast that it was safe to say that it took place literally in the blink of an eye.
“Mom, are you nervous?”
Jisoo now feels like a lady. It seems like it was only yesterday that I called her ‘Ajumma’, but now I say the word ‘Mom’ without hesitation.
Hye-Sook Lee barely smiled and shook her head in response to Ji-Soo’s question.
“Ha, I’m not nervous at all. Where have you seen your mother this nervous?”
“Dad is shivering outside right now. “My face was completely pale and pale, but it became even whiter.”
Lee Hye-sook smiled faintly. This may be because I imagined Kim Seong-hoon looking nervous.
Clearly, the two weren’t very nervous until a few days ago.
Hye-Sook Lee only registered her marriage with her deceased husband without having a wedding, and the same was true for Seong-Hoon Kim.
Although they both said they were remarrying, they probably didn’t feel it much because they had no wedding experience.
“Mom, I’ll be right next to you, so don’t be too nervous!”
“I said I’m not nervous. “He’s so…”
I’ve never been so thankful for Jisoo’s small hand holding my hand tightly while saying those words. Just sitting in the bridal waiting room is so awkward that it kills me.
At first, I felt like I was wearing clothes that didn’t fit my body as the South Port merchants came one by one to take pictures with me.
At that moment, a knock is heard from the bridal waiting room, and someone sticks out their face.
“England is the mother!”
It was Ms. Yang. If anyone sees him, he looks very stylish, as if he were sitting at the wedding table.
Lady Yang, as if she always talks a lot, constantly compliments Lee Hye-sook’s wedding dress.
“Oh my, you look like a virgin when you dress like this. A virgin! It’s so pretty. After putting on pretty makeup on my face, I look like a completely different person! What the heck, Kim Hee-sun, who appears as the female lead in a drama on MBS this time, is slapping her! “It’s so pretty!”
Her daughter, Myeong-ja, was also by Ms. Yang’s side. Myeong-ja greets Lee Hye-sook somewhat differently from her usual appearance.
“Mom, you’re so pretty.”
“Hey, he came here all of a sudden.”
“You’re so pretty too.”
Jisoo bursts out laughing at Myungja’s words. Myeong-ja looks at Ji-soo secretly and gives her a hint. It looks like you have some questions.
Myeongja and Jisoo, who were the same age, went to different middle schools, but became best friends when they went to the same high school.
Ji-soo, who received Myeong-ja’s gaze, hints to Hye-sook Lee about what she is curious about.
“Mom and brother are all gone?”
* * *
Grumble.
A luxurious sports car emits an exhaust sound. Lee Bong-chun, who got out of the driver’s seat, had grown even bigger in three years. It doesn’t mean I gained weight.
Because he exercised consistently, in the past he looked like he was just overweight, but now he has a good figure that can be compared to most athletes.
England’s eyes widened when he saw the sports car parked in front of the airport.
“Brother, really…?”
“England, you’re welcome!”
Oh my, my head.
Since I was filming a movie with director Wang Jinyang in Hong Kong, I personally asked Bongchun Lee to help me with the wedding car.
Lee Bong-chun said in a confident voice that he only trusted him, so I thought he would definitely bring a good car.
“How can you drive this?”
“Oh, don’t worry. I already took a test drive with Mr. Kim a few days ago. At first, he said he couldn’t do it because he was scared, but after driving on the highway a few times, he said he was good at driving. And since it’s going from Haeundae to Gimhae Airport anyway, it won’t take about 450 minutes at best. “You should be in a good mood even then.”
It was a luxury sports car called Lamborghini. Even from a distance, it had the feel of a wedding car, with a large pink ribbon already attached to the bonnet and a colorful flower decoration attached to the rear end.
The concentration of attention was so outstanding that I could feel the attention of people leaving the airport.
England hurriedly got into the passenger seat, afraid that he would even recognize his face under the hat.
“Now then, let’s go!”
Grumbling.
The sports car began to move, emitting a loud exhaust sound. I knew Lee Bong-chun’s driving skills from a long time ago, but my palms naturally got sweaty.
Anyway, it’s still the same now, but even in my last life, I wasn’t that interested in cars.
People say they drive sports cars when they make money, but in the UK, rather than buying their own car, they drove around in a van provided by their agency.
“right. England, you too need to prepare. My head was all crushed. “You will need to change your clothes.”
“I decided to prepare my hair and outfit on the first floor of the wedding hall. “Mijung is already at the wedding hall.”
“Mijeong came first? It’s disappointing. They didn’t even contact me at all to say they were coming down to Busan. “Are you afraid I’ll get stabbed if I come down with you?”
Mijeong was a British stylist. Over the past three years, Lee Bong-chun has been promoted from road manager to general manager, and his influence has grown to the point where he not only participates in external work but also attends internal meetings.
As overseas location filming in the UK became more frequent, Lee Bong-chun and I were no longer traveling alone, but now we were traveling together with numerous employees.
“Oh brother. “Drive a little more gently.”
“Don’t worry, I’m the one who once controlled these complicated Busan roads!”
After what felt like an eternity had passed. When we arrived at the hotel facing Haeundae, Kim Mi-jeong came out to greet England.
After seeing England sweating profusely, he slaps Lee Bong-chun on the back as he gets out of the driver’s seat.
“Director Lee, I told you to drive carefully!”
“My skin was soft. It’s because it’s the UK’s first sports car. “I’m good at action acting, but strangely, I get nervous when I’m in a car.”
“It’s like that if you drive the car that Manager Lee drives. British brother, come in quickly. There’s still quite a bit left until the ceremony time. I need to set my hair and style! “The CEO and the entire agency family will arrive in a little while!”
Except for Lee Bong-chun, who suddenly became a duck egg in the Nakdong River, England and Kim Mi-jeong hurriedly entered the hotel.
* * *
“Mijeong, don’t you think it’s too much?”
“Is this too much? Don’t worry. “I have to cheer up my mother today!”
I changed from my comfortable sweats into a suit and got my hair styled and simple makeup done.
Just like a painter looking at a finished work, Kim Mi-jeong looks at the reflection of England in the mirror and smiles happily.
As I headed to the floor where the ceremony was held, I could feel how many guests there were. Not only the South Port merchants, but also the agency family members who arrived from Seoul are noticeable.
Moreover, my grandfather (director Baek Jang-hoon) and uncle (actor Ahn Jung-hyun) were unable to come in person due to filming, so they sent a large wreath.
uh?
Among the numerous wreaths, there is also a wreath that stands out. It was sent by the mayor of Busan. Is it because he was still serving as a public relations ambassador for Yeongdo-gu?
At that time, Kim Seong-hoon, who recognized England’s face, raised his hand.
“Kook-!”
Attention is focused on the new groom’s shout. However, since everyone was familiar with England, it was not as crowded as the filming site.
“Are you nervous?”
Kim Seong-hoon held his hands tightly as if he had won a thousand battles with the appearance of England. The beads of sweat he could feel behind his white gloves and the sweat forming on his forehead clearly showed how nervous he was.
“I might be nervous on a happy day like today, but I’m not nervous at all. And it’s so nice to see your face. “You just got back from Hong Kong, right?”
“Yes, I just came from Gimhae Airport. By the way, can you drive the wedding car? “It was really fast.”
“Ah, I think it will be possible after practicing a lot with Director Lee. At first, I was scared of hitting the accelerator even just a little bit, but now I’m used to it and it’s okay. And you only have to go to Gimhae Airport anyway. “Gook.”
It was Kim Seong-hoon who was looking at England. For the past three years, we have always met during holidays or New Year’s holidays. Now it felt like family.
Seong-Hoon Kim held England’s hand even more vigorously and elaborated firmly.
“You know, I’ll take good care of Mom from now on.”
There was a confidence felt beyond the warm eyes. England held Kim Seong-hoon’s hand and said something he had never said before.
“I will believe you, father.”
At the word “father,” Kim Seong-hoon’s eyes became touched. England was worried that the new groom might shed tears before the ceremony even started, so he quickly patted Kim Seong-hoon on the back.
When the new groom was told that he should not cry before the wedding, Kim Seong-hoon was seen pursed his lips and twitching his cheeks.
“Kook, hurry and go to the bride’s waiting room. Mom has been waiting for you ever since. Jisoo will be there too.”
I was looking forward to it. Since I continued filming in Hong Kong, I didn’t have a chance to see my mother’s wedding dress in person.
I didn’t have to worry because I would have hired a famous wedding planner in Seoul to do it myself. It was time to walk to the bride’s waiting room.
uh.
I thought my feet were moving sloppily, but maybe my shoelaces were loose. It seemed like I was in a hurry when changing clothes and couldn’t tie them properly.
I was just about to get down on one knee and tie my shoelaces again.
“Looks like someone else is thinking about you.”
My head lifted up with a familiar voice. There stood a woman with long hair down to her waist and a face that looked like a deer.
Is it because of the three years? Or is it because a woman’s transformation happens in the blink of an eye?
At first, I couldn’t recognize who it was because the atmosphere had changed so much.
At that moment, the woman kneels down on one knee and ties England’s shoelaces. The two people’s eyes met and the woman elaborated with a refreshing smile.
“Don’t let them get hit. Hello, it’s been a while, right?”
