Side Story 3. Beautiful Restraint (3)

November 1st, the wedding day, passed by in a blur. As if an hour were a minute, like a bullet piercing through a balloon, like a fighter jet crossing the sky with a loud roar, like the sun rising and swallowing the dark night.

Min-jo's nerves were sky-high, but fortunately, the ceremony proceeded according to the schedule without a hitch. The guests included all the enforcers from Gimun, and from the Headquarters, only those at the executive level or above attended. Additionally, several high-ranking officials from the political world and even several police officials, who were practically in a hostile relationship with gangsters, attended. Naturally, Chu Gi-ok's guests also came, and their number was so enormous—proportionate to the enforcers of Gimun—that there were almost no seats left in the wide hall. It was a very boisterous feast.

Many parts of the wedding ceremony were omitted. Since neither of them had parents, they agreed to skip the candle lighting, the officiant, and the formal bows to the parents, proceeding quickly through the remaining steps.
