On the Day of My First Boyfriend’s Wedding, I Got Red-eyed1
He got married, but his bride was not me.
***
Emery got married.
Sure enough, I was the only one who didn't know about it.
Watching everyone talk with Emery and his wife, and they glanced at me from time to time.
I could only keep smiling to hide the constant sourness in my heart...
When I was in school, I was with Emery. As a rich girl, I paid for all the expenses. Everyone knew about it.
Obviously, I loved him, but everyone ignored it.
Probably everyone thought that I, who was always willful, was playing with Emery, this poor boy.
"Emery, you're unbelievable. Among our classmates, you are the most successful, and you are the first to get married."
"When fate comes, it naturally falls into place."
Emery looked affectionately at the gentle and quiet woman sitting next to him.
I sat across from the round table and could clearly see them with my peripheral vision.
"Come on, let's make a toast together, wishing Emery and Wendy a happy wedding. We have to attend their wedding!"
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses, while I was still lost in my thoughts.
In an instant, everyone's gaze focused on me.
I stood up in a hurry and couldn't help but smile, "Yes, Emery, congratulations. Out with the old, in with the new. I wish you a happy life."
At this moment, even though my heart was in pain, I didn't back down and stared at Emery.
Until Emery's gaze turned towards me for the first time tonight, our eyes met.
In his deep and unfathomable eyes, I seemed to see a slight fluctuation...
"Thank you, Pearl," he said in a deep voice.
"Oh, you're Pearl. I often hear Emery talk about you. Are you living in Boston now? Maybe we can go shopping together some day," Wendy beside Emery exclaimed in surprise.
"Does he often talk about his ex-girlfriend that he hates to his wife?
How is it possible?"
I looked at Emery in confusion, but he didn't look at me.
Under everyone's gaze, I was about to speak, when Jason's voice came out. "Oh, Wendy, aren't you and your husband always together? Do you still have time to go out with Pearl? She is very busy now. I also want to date her out..."
"Hilarious, Jason, you're unbelievable. Miss Quinn has become a secretary in a fallen state, and you haven't given her up yet..."
A group of classmates laughed at me. I had gotten used to such words over the years.
Jason liked me. I just found out recently.
