Chapter Text
Choi Seungcheol was sitting gloomily on his chair. He must be feeling happy right now. His best friend just announced that he would be getting married. Yes, Yoon Jeonghan would get married next month. Seungcheol sighed, he did not feel that happy just because Jeonghan would get married first. And it was because until reaching this age, Seungcheol still had no girlfriend. It was frustrating actually. He was old enough to get married but he was still single. His parents have been asking him many times when he would get married. They said they really wanted to have grandchildren. Seungcheol has reminded them that they already had grandchildren from his hyung, but his parents insisted that they wanted to have grandchildren from Seungcheol as soon as possible. Oh, that was really frustrating.
And now, out of blue, Yoon Jeonghan was announcing he was getting married.
Darn it, Jeonghan.
“Who’s the lucky girl?” Kwon Soonyoung, who had got married a year ago, asked. Seungcheol furrowed eyebrows as he remembered something. He looked at all his friends. He just realized that he and Jeonghan were the last to get married. If Jeonghan got married, it was only Seungcheol the last single man. Darn it. Why did he become the last one among his friends? He couldn’t stop cursing to himself.
“I will let you guys meet her,” Jeonghan answered. The others cheered happily but then Jeonghan said,” But not now. She’s not in town. She’s at her parents’ house.” Disappointed voices came into the room.
“It’s too sudden, Jeonghannie. Don’t you know that?” Jisoo, the father of twin daughters, asked. Seungcheol glared at him. He just realized that fact. Jisoo now looked even happier after he got two daughters. Uh. Seungcheol sort of felt he hated it.
“Have you decided on the date? Please do not after the date of my baby’s born day.” The silent Jeon Wonwoo, who recently talked much about his wife and baby, said. He and his wife were expecting a baby, and it was almost nine months. Wonwoo was extremely happy and often asked his friends some good names for his soon-to-be-born child. He was informed that the baby was a boy and he rejoiced that there would be a mini version of him. O-oh. That fact annoyed Seungcheol.
“It’s on 17th next month. We’ve decided it.” Jeonghan told them, smiling. “You guys must come. And Wonwoo, you don’t need to worry, I know your wife is predicted to deliver the baby after the 25th. And Jisoo, it’s not that sudden. I’ve planned it months ago.” He chuckled.
Lee Jihoon, the youngest among them, spoke up. “How long you’ve been together with her?” Seungcheol made note that Jihoon had been married first among them and he already had three children, two sons, and a daughter. Jihoon really has such a happy family, Seungcheol thought.
“Four months…?” Jeonghan replied uncertainly. He then laughed. “I’m not really sure. I’ve known her years ago. But I started to have feelings for her after I met her again six months ago.”
“Aren’t you guys in a hurry?” Moon Junhui teased. Oh, Seungcheol remembered Junhui had got married two years ago. He had a one-year-old son who looked exactly like him. O-oh.
“Oh come on, Junhui, I’m old enough to get married,” Jeonghan replied, which made Seungcheol felt something slapped him. He was actually older than Jeonghan. “I’ve proposed her, and she agreed to get married just in two months,” Jeonghan added.
Seungcheol felt miserable, thinking that he was the only one who hasn’t planned about getting married among them. His friends sure forgot that fact. It was really frustrating. When would he meet the one who would be his bride?
“Seungcheol, you must come no matter what. You’ve said you will sing some songs at my wedding.” Jeonghan said suddenly, giggling.
“Yeah, Seungcheol is really good at singing! I should have asked him to sing at my wedding back then.” Jisoo laughed.
Seungcheol smiled bitterly. “Of course I’ll come.” He said.
“Seungcheol hyung, you should bring your girlfriend, then!” Soonyoung said.
Somebody finally brings up this topic. Thank you, Soonyoung. Seungcheol rolled his eyes.
“Does he have a girlfriend?” Wonwoo asked innocently. Darn it, Wonwoo.
“I bet Seungcheol hyung will come with his girlfriend at Jeonghannie hyung’s wedding!” Jihoon squalled.
“No, he will come alone.” Soonyoung stuck out his tongue.
“I bet he will come alone,” Wonwoo commented.
Jisoo and Jeonghan raised their hands. “I bet he will bring someone!” they said in unison. Then the room became chaotic since they were busy debating.
“Guys, guys, stop betting on me.” Seungcheol sighed hard.
“Hyung, you should get married as well after Jeonghan hyung.” Junhui said, and the others giggled. Seungcheol couldn’t even say any words.
Secretly Seungcheol made a bet to himself that he must bring someone at Jeonghan wedding, who would be introduced as his wife-to-be.
