Chapter Text

A gentle music box tune filled the beautiful suite room as the team of make up artists and hair stylists busily paced around to do their respective jobs.

The beautiful bride tapped her fingers on her lap following the rhythm of the beautiful and slow tune. She silently closed her eyes and focused on calming down her erratic and frantic heart.

As the make up artist finished applying the last few touches of mascara on the bride, she slowly and carefully flutters her eyes open and finds herself at awe at what she saw on the mirror.

'It's beautiful! Thank you very much.'

Cheon Sarang grins as she gazed at herself and smiled warmly at the make up artist through the reflection of the mirror.

It was finally D-day of her's and Won's wedding. Although she felt nervous and anxious at the thought of having tons of eyes fixate on her, she reveled and felt a flutter of excitement and pure happiness at the thought of meeting the love of her life down the aisle in a few hours.

Gazing down at the beautiful and rather big diamond ring that Won had gifted her as he proposed a few months ago, a tinge of scarlet hue spread itself across her cheeks as she thought about what and how Won was doing now.

'Ms. Cheon...'

Suddenly being forced to escape from her thoughts, Sarang looks up and finds one of the employees smiling warmly at her.

'If you could follow us to the bedroom, it's time for you to wear the wedding gown.'

Realizing that her make up and hair were long done, Sarang warmly grins and chuckles as she thanked both the make up artist and hair stylist for their hardwork. After receiving warm bows and congratulations, the ethereal bride heads off towards the bedroom and lets the other staff start prepping her wedding dress.

Meanwhile, in another suite above Sarang's floor. Gu Won silently fixes his cuff links and checks his hair for the last time before heading out towards the living room and sitting on one of the armchairs.

If Sarang was handling her anxiety and nervousness rather well, Won meanwhile was failing to keep his emotions in check judging as to how he literally stands up every minute just to pace around the room whilst checking his watch.

Breaking out of his thoughts after hearing the suite door open, he turns around and meets eyes with his closest friend slash secretary. Jokingly rolling his eyes at the man, Won spoke in a sarcastic voice.

'Shouldn't you be checking your script and lines instead of being nosy again here Noh bujangnim? I swear if you ruin my wedding with a wrong line, I'll make sure you never forget it for the rest of your life.'

Sangsik chuckles and crosses his arms as he approaches his boss with a gentle smile etched on his face.

It was all very silent as Sangsik's smile slowly turns into a teary eyed proud smile at the sight of his best friend in the most dashing tux ever. Feeling awkward and weirded out by the intense stare from his secretary, Won calls the man out and plops back down onto the chair.

'Will you please stop it.... it's embarassing, I bet even Sarang-ie won't cry like that. It's not even your wedding, cry again once it's your turn....'

Sangsik wipes the tears from the corner of his eyes and smiles as he replies to Won's comments.

'I honestly still can't believe it... our doryeonim (young master) is actually getting married. Starting today, I won't be able to barge into your room just to wake you up or bother you anymore and what's sadder now is that you get to eat and share your daily life with our kind Sarang ssi..... It's a bittersweet story for the forever solo me.'

Won chuckles and smiles at the thought of waking up every single day next to the love of his life. If someone had told him 7 years ago that he would have been so happy a few years later, he would probably have just rudely ignored them and carried on. He felt extremely grateful at the blessings that have happened since then but most importantly... he thanked the heavens everyday that he had managed to meet his soulmate.

Suddenly feeling giddy and wanting to quickly go down for his wedding, Won stands back up and straightens his blazer one last time before facing his secretary with the most eager smile.

'Noh Sangsik, did you double check my honeymoon reservations and fix my schedule already? I specifically said to not bother me or Sarang-ie at all during the course of our honeymoon. We'd like to enjoy the first few weeks of our marriage to ourself so if you could please...refrain from calling us.'

Sangsik nods as he pulls out his phone and reports the details to his boss.

'Yes daepyonim... don't worry about it, I've confirmed the reservation of your hotel in Thailand and also the one in London. The plane tickets have also been booked and secured, I've put everything you may need in your luggage so it'll be much more convenient for you to find. Also, your new home is very much ready, while you and Sarang will be away for 2 weeks, I've enlisted some of our housekeeping staff to maintain the cleanliness in the residence just to keep it ready once you return in 2 weeks.'

Won smiles and nods as he fishes out a black card and hands it to his secretary.

'You've worked hard....thanks to your hard work, I'm allowing you to use this card for the next 2 weeks while I'm gone. Eat and play as much as you want! But If I were to give you an advise as someone who's now getting married and a senior in the romance department.... go and ask that manager out on a romantic dinner... she seems oddly interested in you.'

Slightly shocked at Won's statement, Sangsik's face turns red as he holds on to the black card and stares at the wall in confusion. Won meanwhile smirks and walks out of the suite room as he goes off to find his father.

Chapter Text

The glistening lights on the enchanting chandeliers of the wedding hall glistened as the small quartet of classical musicians played beautiful pieces to soothe the mood of the hall. The guests were all starting to settle in their seats as soon as they noticed Chairman Gu and Sangsik entering together.

It was basically an indication that the wedding was about to start soon and because Sarang's parents were no longer here to see her enter the next chapter of her life. She had decided to make the occasion a bit more special and intimate by asking 2 of her greatest friends slash sisters, Pyeonghwa and Daeul to sit together with her beloved grandmother.

But if we were to point out the happiest person among the guests, it would none other be JiHu, Won's nephew. He was perhaps the most ecstatic and happiest person ever when he first heard from his grandfather that Sarang was to join their family and that it would now make her his one and only aunt.

Back to the current scene, Sangsik smiles and gently speaks with the microphone, adding a final reminder to signal the guests to settle and take their seats

'The wedding is to start in 5 minutes.... may I ask all the guest to settle down and if you could please turn your phones into silent mode as to not disrupt our dear bride and groom's special occasion.'

Outside the wedding hall, the groom silently fumbles with his watch as he silently thought about what was going to happen in a few minutes. It was definitely the happiest moment of Won's life, he was finally here... a few minutes--- maybe even a few seconds away from marrying the love of his life.

It made him thought about the very first moment he had met her years ago, it might have been in different terms (due to her mistaking him as the 'tiger shirt pervert') but it definitely did make quite an impact to him considering he managed to recognize her immediately even after 7 years have passed.

Perhaps there is truth to the saying that certain moments of your life will flash by like a long film strip when you're about to enter an extremely important moment of your life. The numerous memories made with her all popped up as he silently waited in front of the big wooden doors.

As the last few seconds tick away, the thoughts of his future with her suddenly crossed through his mind. There was a thought that made his heart flutter, the realization that follows makes his heart beat even faster and his smile...wider than ever.

Finally! He wasn't alone anymore... this time he had Sarang with him to go through each day. To make more memories together and to comfort and love each other until the end of time and who knows.... maybe even start a beautiful family with her one day. The thought of having a little Won or Sarang around just made fireworks erupt in his stomach.

Reminded of his father's words for him earlier, Won gently smiles to himself as he nods to himself and fixes his blazer for the last time.

Suddenly being brought out of his thoughts by the wedding staff, Won is ushered to walk in as soon as Sangsik announces his entrance. There was a hushed silence from the inside and all you could hear was the music bouncing off the marble walls of the wedding hall.

And as if it was on cue, the music stops playing and it was soon replaced by Sangsik's booming voice blasting through the 2 speakers placed on the 2 sides of the ceiling.

'And now....the dashing groom will enter.'

As if on cue, the huge double doors open simultaneously and Won is immediately met by the smiling faces of close family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances that came to wish both him and Sarang well.

There was a huge round of applause and cheers from the guests as he charmingly enters wearing his dapper suit and slicked back hair. He briefly crosses eyes with Sangsik and smiles as he turns back around to face the now closed double doors.

Bowing out of respect and gratefulness to the guests who spared their time to celebrate with them, Won gently smiles and performs a deep bow.

In a few seconds, Sarang would appear right in front of him... and he just knew he had to cherish the moment he sees her walking down towards him..... it was the last few seconds for him and her before they officially become each other's husband and wife and he just knew how precious of a memory this would be for them and their future family.

As the guests settle down and send him the occasional 'congratulations', Won glances at his parents, both clearly looking emotional and happy for him as they tried their best to hide the tears away from the corner of their eyes. They were happy.... that despite them not being able to provide the happiest childhood for him, he had broken all the expectations and had still managed to find a happy ending for himself.

'The woman of the hour.... the bride will now enter.'

As Sangsik makes the final announcement, the 2 doors open and it revealed the most beautiful and elegant bride ever.

Won was just wonder strucked as he crossed eyes with his bride. She gently shoots him a sweet smile and he flashes her the most love filled smile ever. Yet again, cheers, compliments, claps filled the entire wedding hall as Sarang flows down the aisle in a beautiful wedding gown. Her hair was pinned back just like any elegant and classic bride, the veil was short and simple, keeping her entire look tidy and simple but with a hint of elegance just from the style of her natural make up.

Sarang didn't need any make up to stand out anyway, Gu Won even at one point tried to convince her to not wear any for their wedding since she looked beautiful to him everyday whether or not she wore it.

At that moment, Won slightly surprises Sarang as he suddenly walks over whilst keeping his eyes on her. It was a decision he had secretly made last night as he spent the final night being alone in his room. He hated the idea of having her walk towards him, Won wanted to show her that he would be with her every step of the way hence he decided to make it a surprise by walking down to escort her... it was a representation that they were entering the new chapter of their life at the same time and most importantly... together.

Chapter Text

There are certain moments in life when you realize how thankful you are to be born despite the past and perhaps even ongoing heartaches that you went through and have been going through. This was definitely 'that moment' for both Won and Sarang.

After saying their vows for each other and confirming their beautiful love in front of all their guests. Sangsik announces the newlyweds with tears in his eyes, and with the cue of the music, Won leads Sarang, his wife down the aisle amidst the cheers from their family and friends plus the rain of cream petals falling from the ceiling.

'May I please present Mr & Mrs Gu, our newly married couple....'

Won and Sarang smiled and thanked the guests as they cheered and took pictures of the couple. After a few short chats and thanks for the guests' time, the photographer beckons the couple to pose in the middle for a shot that would eventually be the first ever picture of both of them as husband and wife.

Won, being the most affectionate ever with his dear wife immediately wraps his arm around her waist and leans down to do his favorite 'nose bump' with her. The couple posed with their adorable eye smiles and even had a kiss shot after their friends all cheered together for a kiss.

After a few more group pictures, the bride and groom were finally allowed to head up to their new suite for some time to rest and freshen up before the reception during the evening. This time, the venue was none other than 'King The Land' inside King Hotel.

As Sarang and Won said their short goodbyes to their families and friends, the couple walks towards a private elevator near the entrance of the wedding hall and quietly slips in to finally have a private time together.

Come to think of it... this was their first private time together as husband a wife since they were officially married a few minutes ago. The couple sweetly gazed at each other and what immediately followed was a chorus of laughter.

Won wraps his arms around his wife's waist and Sarang clasps her hands around Won's in return. There was a comfortable silence in the elevator as the couple gazed at each other and took in the entirety of the whole moment.

They were finally married.... they are husband and wife. It seemed hard to believe but this was it.

Unable to speak as he gazed down at her sparkling hazel eyes, Sarang was the one to break the silence instead. This time she declared her love for him privately, in her own affectionate way. No other words were needed as she whispered.

'Saranghae.... Won ah, Thank you for being in my life....let's be happy and crazy together just like we are now in the future.'

Won grins and nods as he leans down to peck his wife's lips. After a few more pecks and gentle kisses, the couple eventually arrive at their suite and just like a typical cliche newlywed couple, Won insisted that he carried her bridal style into their room.

It was just like the first time when she stayed over at the suite after serving the Arab prince, only this time they were married and she wasn't shy at all to look straight at her handsome husband's face and flirt with him.

As the couple enter their room without much problem (considering Won's basically good at everything). Won gently plops his wife down onto the neatly made bed and mischievously wraps her in a back hug whilst they lay down on the king sized mattress.

Sarang jokingly rolls her eyes as she finally realizes what he was intending to do. There was a buzzing sensation on her neck as he sneakily placed soft kisses onto her nape repeatedly.

'We're just supposed to be taking a break and wash. We still have our reception to go to later.... My seobang nim (husband)'

Although Sarang would usually buckle, she knew it wasn't the perfect time for their 'recharging' moment. Who knows who could possibly barge in suddenly just to remind them that they had to keep their schedule or whatnot.

Guwon groans and pouts like a child after Sarang sternly removes his arms around her and rises back up to her feet.

And just like that, Won sits on the bed as Sarang starts to take off her veil and numerous accesories.

'I'm taking a quick wash..... I'll finish up in a bit so go and prepare the suit you'll be wearing for tonight instead.'

Being a neat and organized person, Sarang diligently folds her veil and puts it inside it's box. After that, she returns her jewelry into their cases... Most importantly though she gently removes the expensive wedding ring and returns it into it's box just to keep it safe and away from possible scratches.

Eventually after a little bit of help from her husband, Sarang had managed to free herself from the constraints of the heavy and poofy wedding gown.

She was only wearing her undergarments up until this point. In a private room alone with her husband..... exactly 36 minutes after their wedding ceremony and... with 3 hours of free time until their wedding reception.

Swiftly ignoring the knowing glances Won was giving her from behind, a naughty thought suddenly flashes into her mind as she suddenly turns around and flirtatiously winks at her husband. Without a second to waste, she giggles like a shy schoolgirl and runs straight into the bathroom leaving him blushing and with hearts literally popping out of his eyes.

Already awake from his senses and triggered by her small tease, Won mischievously smirks and rises from the bed calling for her.

'Yeobo (honey)! Wait for me!'

The man simply had a wide smile on his face as he effortlessly unties the bow from around his neck and rushed to unbutton his vest and polo shirt off his body.

After he had almost took everything off, the newly married president opens the bathroom door and smirks as he hears the sound of the shower running.

Sarang slightly smiles after hearing the little creak from the door opening behind her. She wasn't exactly shy since this wasn't going to be their first time (I mean come on... it's our whipped Won, once they spent the night together he literally came back almost every night).

She slightly shivered as the glass door from the shower booth opened, with water trickling down her face, hair and body, she crossed eyes with her husband and smiled. There was that tension lingering in the air as they stood facing each other with water splashing down on their naked bodies.

Won smiles as he stood closer to her and cages his arms around her, pinning her whole body onto the cold shower wall, he leans down and captures her lips in a passionate kiss.

It seemed oddly similar to their first kiss but with the tension building in a fast paced level, the two could hardly care about anything else in the world.

Sarang's moans and Won's grunts and huffs for breathes soon filled the bathroom. But really.....who else could blame them. They were separated for a whole day before their wedding yesterday.

And just like that, the couple spent at least 30 minutes in the bathroom, basking on their passionate love. (and we'll leave them to it, it's their private time anyways)

Exactly 3 hours later, as they arrived at their reception at King The Land, Daeul would be the first person to question Sarang about the questionable marks on her neck. (even make up failed to cover up Won's love for her). Intentionally brushing it off, Sarang responds with a shy smile and blushed up face, making anyone who knew her well understand what that meant immediately.

And even though Sarang was embarrassed to the core by the numerous concerned questions she received after that. Won smirked with pride from beside her as he took glances from time to time at the marks he made.

Chapter Text

After Sarang and Won reappeared for their reception, the couple went around thanking the guests personally and took more pictures before finally sitting down on the head table to eat their dinner.

Won's father of course was proud as he chatted away with a few business partners about how great of a daughter in law he has gained for his family. Sarang had pretty much bonded with her father in law a few months prior to their wedding. She made it an effort to also be on civil and friendly terms with her sister in law who at least smiled and acknowledged her whenever they saw each other.

Meanwhile, Won's mother who still felt uncomfortable with her former husband chose to sit beside Sarang's grandmother for the entirety of dinner just to have a chat and to be closer to her son's only in law. It looked like they had hit it off very well as they had immersed themselves into chatting and laughing with each other for the last hour since reception had started. (and if you were wondering, they were talking about the gender of Won and Sarang's future first child)

The couple had changed into another set of clothes for the occasion, this time Won wore a White tux, similar to the one he wore in the rooftop bar in Thailand not so long ago. Sarang meanwhile had decided to have her long hair flow down for the rest of the night just to look more relaxed. She wore a white gown with puffy long see through netted sleeves that highlighted her slender figure. The gown was encrusted with small pearls that simply made her shine under the twinkling chandeliers and crystals that decorated the ceilings of King The Land.

*(Won and Sarang are wearing the clothes that Yoona and Junho wore as mcs during the 2021 MBC Gayo Daejejeon)*

'May I please ask for everyone's attention...?'

The guests all turn their attention towards the podium as Chairman Gu's familiar voice echoes from the loud speakers. Even Sarang and Won drop their cutlery as soon as the elder male started speaking.

'As we almost reach the conclusion of celebrating Won and Sarang's love today... As Won's father, I figured I would like to say a few words.'

Sarang smiles excitedly at her husband as she turns her complete attention towards her father in law. It was rare for anyone to see Chairman Gu publicly being affectionate towards his son (towards any of his children actually). It was clear that today was such a special day that he allowed himself to publicly shed some tears during the wedding.

Chairman Gu turned to the couple and gingerly sends his daughter in law a warm smile.

'I am simply overjoyed at the events today.... First of all, I'd like to welcome the new member of our family. My dearest daughter in law, Sarang-ie.... I first got to know her as a valued member of our employees here at King Hotel and it is no doubt that she had already left such a huge impression since then. If it was such a blessing for me as a chairman to have had such a privilege to have her as an employee back then. It is now a huge honor for me to have you as my sole daughter in law. In all my life, I have never seen my son smile so bright with so much love and affection... for bringing such light and laughter to him, I thank you from the bottom of my heart as his father. And today.... I wish nothing but happiness for the both of you.'

As the chairman initiated a cheers, the guests and couple all toasted their cups with each other as a sign/ wish for nothing but happiness for the couple's future.

There was yet again a brief moment where everyone had went ahead to continue eating and chatting away after that but soon enough as the event neared the end, Won shuffled from his sit and held onto his wife's hand as he called for everyone's attention by gently hitting his champagne glass with a spoon.

Sarang was confused and flustered at his actions but still went with it as she held onto his hand and smiled. Won grins as he gently squeezes her hand and raises his glass with the other.

Clearing his throat, he smiles as he gazes at his wife from time to time whilst turning to look at all the familiar faces from families, friends and colleagues whom were with them as him and Sarang's love story progressed.

'I would have to interrupt your dinner for the last time tonight, I apologize.... but as today comes close to an end. I would like to leave some words of gratefulness and also a few words to honor my beautiful wife. Thank you very much for sparing some time to come and celebrate today with us. I find myself still surprised and shocked that today has finally come and is about to come to an end. It seemed as if it was yesterday when I first came here briefly 7 and a half years ago as an intern when I first crossed paths with Sarang-ie. From that day on, this hotel became the heart of our love. I met my wife in a time when my heart and mind were both filled dilemmas. There were challenges along the way but still.... Sarang became my foundation and comfort. She encouraged me, inspired me, helped me.... but most of all, she loved me not for who I was born as but as me---- I couldn't have been more thankful to have met and fallen in love with such a gorgeous, kind and courageous woman like you jagiya..... thank you for coming into my life and accepting me. I love you very much, let's be happy together forever.'

And yet again, the guests all cheered as the groom finished up his ment but this time it was mixed with a series of howls and shrieks after his bold declaration of love for his wife (it's Guwon duhhh, his definitely whipped)

Just like that, the night of love ended with all the guests going home with a sense of love and adoration for the beautiful couple. It was already around 2 am in the morning when Won's and Sarang's family and friends, to be specific Chairman Gu, Won's mother and Won's sister and nephew plus Sarang's grandmother and the rest of the 6 siblings all gathered in the entrance of King Hotel to send off the newly married couple.

A car was prepared in advanced to send the couple to the airport. Chairman Gu had specifically ordered that his private plane would be waiting to personally fly them to their honeymoon. It was a special privilege slash exception just for Won's wedding, the chairman figured, the couple would be too exhausted to board a normal plane after such a long day. Hence, it became his wedding gift for them to freely use the plane during the whole 2 weeks of their honeymoon (ha.... the rich have everything really)

'Did you pack everything? Don't forget to drink your vitamins and make sure to stay with your husband all the time.... it's still a foreign country so don't wander around and do call me often.'

Sarang's grandmother reminded her granddaughter over and over again as they stood outside for the last time before Won and Sarang's departure. For the meantime, Pyeonghwa had volunteered to check on halmeoni for the next 2 weeks while Sarang was away. It was the longest ever that Sarang had to be separated from her dearest grandmother, she was reluctant at first but after a few convincing from grandma, she eventually buckled and agreed.

'Be careful and call us often, we'll try to lessen our calls so that you'll both enjoy your honeymoon but still send us updates now and then so we won't ever get too worried.'

Won and Sarang smiles as they nod and bow at the elders. After a round of goodbyes and cheek kisses, the couple finally started their journey for their 2 week honeymoon.

Chapter Text

The rain drizzled away as a new morning finally dawned in the beautiful country of Thailand. The sun had refused to shine as the grey clouds took over making it highly impossible for anyone to identify that it was in fact early in the morning.

Only the drip drops of rain water hitting the clay tiled roof and occasional splashes from the swimming pool filled the quiet and beautiful villa.

In the same villa that they had stayed together with their friends a year ago. Sarang and Won had spent the last 3 days relaxing and going out to sightsee and create new memories as husband and wife as soon as they arrived in the country for their honeymoon.

As the grey and rainy morning started, the couple still laid together in their bedroom... clearly still asleep after the tumultuous events from last night (judging by the state of the room).

Inside the bedroom, a pair of powder blue stilettos and shiny black dress shoes laid together with a few male and female clothes scattered across the fluffy and luxurious beige fur carpet.

The slight morning light threatens to reflect it's blinding ray into the dark bedroom through the small opening of the heavy black out curtains.

On the king sized bed, two naked bodies laid entangled with each other, Their arms wrapped around each other's bodies to keep warm.

The state of the bedroom, an clear evidence to a passion and love filled event from the night before.

Suddenly, Won groans and shifts around on the soft mattress. Immediately breaking the silence and serenity of the morning air.

He rubs his eyes and carefully sits up, Groaning at the sudden flash of light peeking from the curtain's gap, he looks at the woman beside him and immediately a wide smile replaces the frown on his face.

Affectionately gazing at Sarang, he gently strokes her cheeks and leans down to peck her forehead.

After recalling their intense love making from the night before, he smirks and reaches to fix the blanket that's already threatening to expose her soft and milky skin.

Won smiles again after the realization that they were still in their honeymoon hits him and man was he glad to not have any entourage tagging with them this time.

They were all alone and free to do whatever they wanted together, he had intended to savor these moments since it would be harder to have such intimate moments once they go back to Korea (+ considering Department Manager Noh probably won't ever leave him alone all the time).

Since it was raining nonstop, Won had decided to cancel his plans to go sightseeing with his wife for the day. Instead, they had slept in to recharge and get some needed rest for their final day tomorrow, considering they were taking a early flight the day after tomorrow to spend the rest of their honeymoon in London.

Using his right arm as leverage, Won sat up and smiled as he gazed down at Sarang affectionately. It still seemed quite unbelievable that the woman of his dreams was finally married to him. Won couldn't even fathom just how much his life had changed since Cheon Sarang came crashing into his world like a nuclear bomb.

Everything had completely changed since then.... his life, his daily routine and perhaps the most important of all....himself. Won couldn't have been more grateful of the blessings his received, and just like how he had promised Sarang's grandmother and his own father that they would live a happy life together, the man had already painted out a future with her in his mind. He could just imagine how crazy this adventure with her would be. It would be twice as fun, happy than before but most importantly.... it was filled with pure and sincere love.

'Won ah....'

Sarang's gentle voice breaks him out of his thoughts, Won smiles as he looks down at his darling wife. Gently stroking her cheeks as she stretched and opened her eyes, he stretches his arms and swiftly wraps her in an embrace. It almost seemed as if he was actually spooning her like she was a newborn.

Sarang sends him her signature eye smile as soon as they crossed eyes. And as if on cue, she leans forward and gently places sweet pecks again and again on his lips.

Won's chuckles and Sarang's smooches instantly filled the room as the couple managed to wake after their deep slumber.

A little pillow slash bed fight soon ensued as the couple fought each other with their pillows and blankets. It ended up with Sarang losing after Won traps her under his arms, there really was no competition to begin with considering Won has greater advantage judging by his literal strong muscles.

2 hours later, the couple still refused to get up, laying under the covers, Won wrapped his wife in a back hug as they lay bare together.

It had been one of the happiest mornings of his life....well both of their life. Staying in bed late into the afternoon and being with each other....at that point both Won and Sarang only felt contentment and pure happiness as they enjoyed each other's presence and love for each other.

A few hours later after spending almost the whole day in bed, the couple eventually get up to wash up and start preparing for their dinner. Sarang had opted to prepare a simple meal before their last day in Thailand comes. Humming to a random tune, the beautiful former best talent flaunted off her skills in cooking as she prepared a few easy Korean dishes for the night.

Suddenly a pair of strong arms wrap themselves around her waist, already used to this affectionate form of skin ship, Sarang remained un swayed but still smiled as she gently reminded her husband.

'Jagiya, instead of hitting on me again, I think it's better if you start by helping me set up the table first.'

Won snickers and laughs gently as he eventually let go of his wife and nods at her order. After setting up the table, the dashing president of King Hotel half jokingly and half sarcastically replies.

'I see how it is, you might as well get ready once we head off to London, I won't ever let you sleep a night. We'll cuddle all night long and have our little recharge moments together. I'm taking my chance while I can before we head back home....so you might as well get ready!'

Sarang simply grins as she nods and gives up arguing with her husband. After setting up the table, she smiles as she leans down and gently places a peck on her husband's lips.

'Fine fine our Won-ie gun, I'll do whatever you want once we head off to London but please give me a break for now. We can't possibly spend the entirety of our honeymoon in the bedroom. Let's enjoy the last day tomorrow by acting like real tourists, we can always recharge anytime even when we head back home.'

It seemed quite odd and hilarious to have such a conversation together but after gazing at each other, the couple burst out into fits of laughter after realizing just how crazy of a convo they were really having.

But yet again, their life together was always gonna be something filled with love, happiness and also... a little bit of a crazy mixed into it.

It is perhaps safe to say, Won and Sarang were just crazy in love together.

Chapter Text

There was a moment of silence as Won drove pass the majestic and humongous gates of his family's estate (slash castle) in the countryside somewhere in the UK. Sarang quite literally gazed at the huge castle in pure shock as she tried to understand the situation.

Eventually getting her voice out and letting curiosity take over, she stutters a bit in astonishment and asks the question she's been dying to know since Won pulled into the mysteriously old yet luxurious gates.

'Yo--you didn't tell me you owned a whole castle?'

Won chuckles and swiftly turns the curb with ease as he drove them in his favorite shiny black sports car nearer and nearer towards the grand entrance. Speaking in a low tone, the male smirks as he replies.

'Technically it's 'ours' already not only mine, it was bought by my grandfather and eventually passed onto my father. My father didn't have much interest in settling down in England so he gave it to me instead.... Welcome to our home in the UK, my love.'

It was an understatement to say Sarang was only shocked.... she was half intimidated and also flustered. I mean everyone will feel the same if you were to literally own a humongous and centuries old castle (or country home?).

As Won pulls the car up, several maids and workers all greet the couple and wordlessly heads off to take care of the luggage in the car. Suddenly, a older gentleman comes right out of the front entrance and approaches the couple. He was obviously a veteran among the other employees and was very much formally dressed in a neat butler uniform.

'Sir....madam, welcome back to the United Kingdom. It's been a while but we're glad you decided to spend the rest of your honeymoon here.... and may I just greet you both a congratulations on your wedding.

Won smiles and nods as he turns to his wife and introduces the older gent.

'This is Mr. Smith, his been the head butler and caretaker of this place since my grandfather's time--- '

As Sarang smile and greet the elder male with a friendly handshake, Won turns to the elderly butler and introduces his wife in English.

'It's been a while Mr. Smith, please do meet my wife... Sarang, I trust that everything has been prepared as I have requested?'

The elder male smiles and nods with much delight as he greets Sarang for the first time. After a little more chit chat with the head butler, the couple eventually move on and enter the huge castle. Sarang was simply blown away at the interior of the whole estate. It was a treasure trove of antique after antique, but what made it stand out was the presence of several picture frames around the tables and walls. Somehow, those little details made this ancient palace look a little more homey than it was supposed to look.

'I've made sure to prepare the grand bedroom just in time for your stay. Supper will be prepared earlier than scheduled as the young master had requested and once you enter your room, I have also asked the staff to prepare tea for the both of you. Please feel free to ring and call me if you may need something.'

As Sarang and Won both thank the butler, they were off to explore and head to their room by themselves. Won had always valued his privacy when he used to live there hence the staff always made sure to give him space, this time again it was no different as yet again the couple was left to their own privacy.

Won smiles gently as he turns to gaze sweetly at his wife. Affectionately, the male reaches for her hand and as if it was already an automatic reaction, Sarang takes the cue and links her arm around his, Won chuckles gently and caresses her hand with his other hand.

Just like that, the male leads her towards the grand staircase and the couple sets off towards their room. Along the way, Won gives Sarang a impromptu tour of the hallways and rooms but soon though, they reach the grand bedroom (aka Won's former bedroom when he used to live there). It had been renovated again not so long ago to suit both Sarang and Won.

Surprisingly though, Sarang found herself rather flustered as she discovers a plot twist, what welcomed her was a modern interior in the bedroom. It did still have the classic and elegant antique furniture pieces inside but the whole closet area and bathroom was completely modernized to suit their comfort. At least now Sarang didn't have to worry about the possibility of having clogged toilets and dusty closets right?

And just as Mr. Smith had promised, there was indeed a very much hot teapot prepared inside the bedroom as welcome refreshments. Thankfully, he had added mini pastries and biscuits as snacks in case they were both hungry after travelling so much.

Sarang smiles as she walks across their antique bed and opens the glass paned doors that lead towards the balcony, leaning on the marble foundation, she smiles and squints her eyes as the sunlight shines it's heat and bright light down towards her.

There was also a moment of starstruck and amazement after she sees the beautiful view of the whole estate right in front of her. Fishing out her camera from her mini bag, she immediately moves to take snapshots of the picturesque landscape, as she admires the beauty in front of her, Won smiles and hesitates for a while before deciding to finally speak up.

'I used to hate that view so much....'

Slightly surprised at his unexpected confession, Sarang stops herself from clicking the shutter of her camera and turns her attention towards her husband. Taking her silence as a signal to continue, Won gazes down at the view of the lawn of the castle and speaks in a gentle tone.

'It was always me and No Sangsik but still I often felt I was alone. To be honest, I felt very lonely and isolated here hence I always hated the idea of coming back here after meeting you.... But after our wedding I realized---- it was worth a try to spend our honeymoon here, I just couldn't let all those bad memories destroy this place for me hence I decided to take you here with me.'

Sarang slightly smiles after Won's little 'opening up' moment. Won didn't really do it much, but if he did, he always used to do it in subtle ways. Sarang was thankful that he had told her of his feelings, she knew and understood just how hard it was for him to take out and express his inner conflicts and thoughts so properly.

Without a single word spoken, Sarang wraps her arm around Won's and wordlessly lays her head on his shoulder, the couple gaze at the picturesque view in front of them for a while, basking under the sunlight and feeling the cool breeze of the afternoon.

Closing her eyes and letting her long eyelashes flutter along the wind, Sarang finally spoke in a whisper.

'Thank you.... for telling me Won ah, From here going forward, I promise that we'll make more happy memories together. I won't let you be lonely and sad alone anymore. ----'

As she felt Won relax, Sarang's lips curve up into a smile. Realizing it was the perfect time, she continues in a gentle and whispery tone of voice.

'I love you....'

And yet again, with his head leaning on hers and his eyes shut as he relaxed in the warmth of Sarang's body heat mixed with the cool breeze of nature hitting him. Won smiles and replies.

'I love you more....'
