2021
The Asian-faced man stepped out of the car he was in. He fell silent while fixing the suit he was wearing while the driver was busy closing the car door. For a moment he looked at the building whose position was not too far from where he was.
"Yeogieseo gidalineun ge joh-eul geoya!" he said, to the driver. Speak in Korean with a firm tone. The man who was the driver bowed and said, "Algessseubnida, daepyonim."
Not long after, the man in a neat suit stepped towards the building he saw. The man was wearing a black suit stellan with a white shirt and a neat tie. Confidently he stepped inside the building and directly walked towards the elevator without asking the receptionist as if he already knew what floor he should step on. On the way to the elevator, he accidentally bumped into a European man who was walking from the opposite direction to him. He was both wearing a neat suit.
The European man he saw walking with his hands was busy holding his phone. Talk to someone over the phone. When they passed each other, their eyes clashed with each other. But only a glance before they finally returned busy with their respective goals.
Arriving in front of the elevator, the man immediately used his feet to hold the elevator door that was just about to close. It opened the door again, and he could see a teenager standing inside. The man had a tall strapping posture with white skin and pitch-black hair. In addition she has a firm jawline and pliable eyelashes with beautiful eyelids. "Thank you!"
The man smiled towards the teenager inside there who had helped hold the elevator door for him.
"No problem," Rei replied. The man steps in and stands next to Rei. He had a glance towards the floor number there, but had absolutely no intention to suppress it. "Sorry, what floor are you going to?" ask Rei politely.
The man glanced at her then said that he would go to the same building floor as her. Rei simply nodded his head in response to the man's words. Rei thought it might be possible that the man was one of Lucy's invited guests. Arriving at the floor where Lucy's wedding was on the title, the two of them stepped out from inside the elevator.
The man walked away leaving Rei behind, while Rei's focus suddenly shifted to the sound of his phone just ringing. The man reached into his pocket and checked who had just tried to contact him. And as soon as he checked his phone, Rei found Elvina's name on it. The man immediately picked up the phone from his cousin and walked down the corridor. Stepping towards where Elvina is.
The woman was in the dressing room where Lucy was being groomed. Rei asks her to come over because Lucy wants them to take a picture before the event.

Why is that guy's face not foreign, huh? Where have I seen him? Nico. The man frowned, trying to recall where he had met the man who had passed him.
Wait for... She was! Aye! Therehewas. I'm sure it was him. I have to make sure! Nico ran into the building and pulled out his phone again. He immediately sought Daniel's contact and tried to contact him.

"You guys look so dreary!" chirp Amanda while looking at the two seniors who were standing with gloomy faces. Aland and Daniel glanced lazily at her who had just arrived.
"Perhaps because it's Lucy's wedding day" Jean responded. The woman looked beautiful in the white dress she was wearing. He came by holding a glass filled with the drink he took.
"What happened to Lou's senior wedding? Shouldn't they be happy too?" Amanda frowned, looking at Jean not understanding.
"Aland is definitely heartbroken because Lucy will finally have a serious relationship with Felix. While Daniel... I don't understand why he's sad."
"Of course I'm sad because after this Lucy won't be able to spend any more time with us. Aren't you sad?" reply Daniel quickly. Actually the reason that makes him sad is just like Aland. But Daniel never wanted to share his feelings with Jean. For him the secret of his heart is enough between him and Lucy alone to know. Although Daniel should be able to move on from Lucy because his statement of love that was rejected has passed for many years. Long before Aland declares his love for Lucy.
"I'm not sad. I'm just glad Lucy's happy. He deserves to be happy, because he's been through so many bad things in his life..." Jean's face suddenly turned gloomy. His last sentence seemed to describe that the woman could not forget the suffering experienced by her best friend. Amanda, Aland and Daniel can feel what Jean is feeling.
Instead of being sad because my best friend was getting married, I was afraid. I fear that what happened in the past will repeat itself today. Although I know there should be no reason for the marriage to fail this time. I don't know why I've been so upset since. Is it possible because I was still trapped in that moment? Stuck in the memories of the past during a momentous day of chaos that once involved me and Lucy in a position that went awry? Our relationship was almost ruined just because of the feelings I had for Aland. Jean was silent. Various scenes in the past when Lucy and Aland's marriage was canceled because of Beatrix's actions as if re-recorded in her memory. To this day, those memories still torment Jean. He still felt guilty for ruining their marriage.
Jean took a deep breath. Soon his attention shifted when Daniel suddenly panicked after receiving a call from Nico. "It's urgent. Sir Nic said that he had just seen a man whose features were exactly the same as 'he' entering this building. Sir Nic also wants us to immediately check the area around the party to make sure!"
Daniel presses the word 'he' a hinting at them who is meant.
"What?" Jean gawked at it.
