Intro
The two met hastily through a matchmaker. It was all settled after the matchmaker visited every three days to exchange a few words, and they never even saw each other's faces properly. Without knowing each other's age, name, or even what they looked like, they faced each other for the first time only on their wedding day.
It was a simple wedding. There were no loud decorations or long processions of guests. The guest seats were mostly filled with gang members who followed Mangeun, and the sight of men in black suits sitting in rows with their arms crossed, letting cigarette smoke drift, created an unusual atmosphere. On the bride's side, a few relatives sat with their shoulders hunched, wary of the surroundings. The long blessing from the officiant and the vows to each other were all omitted. There was no exchange of rings either. They wouldn't have had a reason to wear them anyway.
As soon as the ceremony ended, the two headed straight to Mangeun's house. No sooner had they crossed the main gate than Mangeun, without even looking back, pointed to a room with a flick of his chin. There was no particular emotion in his voice. It seemed the idea of sharing a room hadn't even crossed his mind in the first place.
..Hey, girl. Unpack your things in that empty room.
Mangeun sat on the edge of the wooden porch, lit a cigarette, and added briefly.
..Let's take the kid thing slow.
He didn't particularly feel like having a grand wedding night with a kid he just met for the first time today. He just wanted to get through this day.
Bring out some drinks in a bit.
