OH. LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A WEDDING HERE.
WHO'S GETTING MARRIED?
YOU KNOW THAT CHAEBOL HEIRESS? FROM TAERYEONG GROUP.
THE SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICT.
AH~ LEE TAEIN?
OHO. WHO'S THE LUCKY GUY?
I HEARD HE'S A TOTAL NOBODY. SOME GUY WHO DOES ART, APPARENTLY?
WOW... A NOBODY?
HE TOTALLY HIT THE JACKPOT, HUH?
—TODAY IS A TRULY MEANINGFUL DAY AS THESE TWO YOUNG PEOPLE TAKE THEIR FIRST STEPS TOGETHER AS HUSBAND AND WIFE.
DOES THE GROOM, GYEON WOOHYUN, TAKE THE BRIDE, LEE TAEIN, AS HIS LAWFULLY WEDDED WIFE,
AND VOW TO RESPECT AND CHERISH HER IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES?
I DO.
THE MAN WHO SECRETLY DATED AND SUCCESSFULLY MARRIED THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF TAERYEONG GROUP,
GYEON WOOHYUN.
AND...
THE CRAZY BASTARD WINKING AT ANOTHER WOMAN AT HIS OWN WEDDING!
NO ONE SAW THAT, RIGHT?
UGH... THAT GUY SERIOUSLY...!
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO THAT CRAZY BASTARD IS?
GYEON WOOHYUN IS MY BOYFRIEND.
THE ONE I'VE BEEN WITH FOR NINE YEARS.
EVER SINCE I WAS YOUNG, MY PARENTS WOULD OFTEN BRING IN KIDS WHO LIVED ALONE.
THEY WERE USUALLY KIDS WHO JUST NEEDED A PLACE TO STAY BRIEFLY BEFORE FINDING A NEW HOME.
YEONJE. SAY HI, WON'T YOU? THIS IS WOOHYUN. HE'S THE SAME AGE AS YOU. TWENTY YEARS OLD.
HI.
GYEON WOOHYUN WAS ONE OF THOSE KIDS.
IF THERE WAS ONE THING THAT STOOD OUT, IT WAS THAT HE WAS ALREADY A FULL-GROWN ADULT WHEN HE CAME TO OUR HOUSE.
IF HE'S TWENTY, SHOULDN'T HE BE LIVING ON HIS OWN?
YEAH. HI.
WE GOT CLOSE PRETTY QUICKLY.
WE WERE THE SAME AGE, AND...
WELL...
WE DEFINITELY CROSSED THE LINE OF JUST BEING FRIENDS.
AFTER MY PARENTS PASSED AWAY IN A FIRE, IT WAS JUST THE TWO OF US LEFT.
BUT AS LONG AS I HAD WOOHYUN, I FELT LIKE LIFE WAS SOMEWHAT BEARABLE.
YEAH. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT, BUT...
NINE YEARS LATER.
ONE MONTH BEFORE THE WEDDING.
SO, YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?
TO ANOTHER WOMAN?
YEAH.
WOOHYUN. DID YOU TAKE A BULLET TO THE BRAIN?
OF COURSE NOT. I'M PERFECTLY FINE.
THEN WHAT IS THIS?! YOU CRAZY SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!
AH. HOT!!!!!!! .......
YEONJE. I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S NOT A REAL MARRIAGE?!
IT'S ACTING. ACTING! I'M JUST PRETENDING TO MARRY HER!
RIGHT. ARE THOSE YOUR FINAL WORDS?
AH, WAIT, WAIT, HOLD ON A SECOND!!!!!!!!! .........
I JUST HAVE TO PRETEND TO BE HER HUSBAND FOR ONE YEAR! I ONLY NEED TO SHOW MY FACE A FEW TIMES,
AND WE AREN'T EVEN OFFICIALLY REGISTERING THE MARRIAGE!
SINCE I'M AN ORPHAN, HER SIDE IS GOING TO FABRICATE A WEALTHY FAMILY BACKGROUND FOR ME,
SO IT WON'T AFFECT MY LIFE AT ALL AFTER THE CONTRACT ENDS.
IT'S LITERALLY JUST A BRIEF ACTING GIG, LIKE A MOVIE.
-YEONJE.
THEY'RE PAYING THREE BILLION WON.
THAT'S THE CONDITION OF THE CONTRACT.
YOU'RE WAVERING. SEO YEONJE.
SHUT UP.
I TOLD YOU THE CONDITIONS WERE CRAZY, DIDN'T I?
YOU'RE THE CRAZY ONE HERE. GYEON WOOHYUN.
YOU'RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO A SCAMMER'S HANDS!
THERE IS NO WAY A PERSON OFFERING THIS KIND OF DEAL IS IN THEIR RIGHT MIND!
DID YOU EVEN DO A BACKGROUND CHECK? WHO IS THIS? SERIOUSLY?
IT'S SOMEONE YOU KNOW TOO.
HER NAME IS "LEE TAEIN".
WHO IS THAT? I DON'T KNOW ANYONE NAMED-
—MOVING ON TO NEWS ABOUT THE TAERYEONG GROUP.
—THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN BUZZING LATELY FOLLOWING REPORTS OF THE TAERYEONG GROUP CHAIRMAN'S DETERIORATING HEALTH.
AMIDST THIS, THE CHAIRMAN'S STEPDAUGHTER, LEE TAEIN, HAS DRAWN ATTENTION BY POSTING AFFECTIONATE PHOTOS OF THE TWO TOGETHER.
SHE APPEARS COMPLETELY UNFAZED BY TAERYEONG’S RECENT ILLEGITIMATE CHILD SCANDAL...
...LEE TAEIN?
THE HEIR TO THE TAERYEONG GROUP?
WHAT...
IN THE WORLD...
YEONJE. THERE ARE EXACTLY TWO THINGS I WANT OUT OF THIS.
THAT HOUSE WHERE YOU USED TO LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS.
AND FOR YOU TO FINALLY STOP HAVING NIGHTMARES ABOUT "THAT DAY".
THE DREAMS ARE...
THE DREAMS ARE JUST... IT'S JUST A FEW DISCONNECTED SCENES.
YOU KNOW THAT. I HAVE ALMOST ZERO MEMORY OF WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY.
I KNOW. THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I NEED THIS MONEY.
IF YOU CAN AFFORD PROPER TREATMENT AT THE HOSPITAL, IT'LL HELP YOU RECOVER YOUR MEMORIES.
AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO BUY BACK YOUR HOUSE FROM THE AUCTION BLOCK.
SEO YEONJE.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
JUST TRUST ME FOR ONE YEAR.
THIS WILL BE THE ONE AND ONLY TIME.
FAST FORWARD ONE MONTH TO THE PRESENT.
—GYEON WOOHYUN'S WEDDING—
I'M CRAZY, I SWEAR...
WHY DID I HAVE TO GO AND GET WEAK AT HIS LAST WORDS...?
Right..
WHAT'S DONE IS DONE. WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS.
IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE MUCH TO LOSE. JUST A FIVE MILLION WON DEPOSIT AND SOME TRIANGLE GIMBAP IN THE FRIDGE.
IF PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, I'LL JUST GRAB GYEON WOOHYUN AND MAKE A RUN FOR IT.
...IF,
IF THINGS REALLY DO WORK OUT PERFECTLY LIKE WOOHYUN PROMISED...
WE CAN JUST GO BACK TO "THAT HOUSE" TOGETHER...
THEN MAYBE...
MAYBE MY MEMORIES OF THAT DAY WILL FINALLY RETURN TOO.
DID YOU HEAR THE RUMOR? APPARENTLY, THAT GUY DIDN'T SHOW UP TODAY.
OH. CHAEBOL FAMILY GOSSIP.
I HEARD TAEIN INTENTIONALLY DIDN'T INVITE HIM. LOOK. THERE'S NOT EVEN A SEAT FOR HIM.
AH~ IS THAT WHY? MAKES SENSE. THERE'S NO WAY SHE'D LIKE HER ILLEGITIMATE HALF-BROTHER. ESPECIALLY WHEN HE JUST SHOWED UP OUT OF NOWHERE A YEAR AGO.
WELL, I HEARD HE'S A TOTAL NOBODY, SO TAEIN DOESN'T EVEN CARE.
TAEIN AND HER CIRCLE ALWAYS CALL HIM A "RAT".
THEY SAY HE LOOKS LIKE A RAT TOO? MAKES ME A BIT CURIOUS ABOUT HIS FACE, HONESTLY.
AHA.
AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD SCANDAL. IS THAT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?
BUT SOMETHING FEELS A BIT STRANGE.
IF THEY CALL HIM A RAT, YOU'D THINK HE WAS JUST SOME INSIGNIFICANT PUSHOVER...
SO WHY ARE ALL THE GUESTS SO HYPER-AWARE OF HIS EMPTY SEAT?
AND WHY DID LEE TAEIN GO OUT OF HER WAY TO NOT INVITE HIM TO THE WEDDING?
IT WAS ALMOST AS IF...
SHE WAS TERRIFIED OF SHOWING HIM TO EVERYONE.
WHY IS EVERYONE SUDDENLY LOOKING OVER HERE? DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG...
AH.
IS THIS MY NEW BROTHER- IN-LAW'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY?
I COULDN'T FIND MY ASSIGNED SEAT.
DO YOU MIND IF I SIT NEXT TO YOU?
AT THAT VERY MOMENT, IT HIT ME.
LEE TAEIN MIGHT CALL HIM A RAT, BUT SHE DIDN'T DELIBERATELY EXCLUDE HER HALF-BROTHER...
...BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT HE WAS INSIGNIFICANT.
THEY CALLED HIM A RAT?
THIS GUY IS A TOTAL...
SNAKE.
I'M LEE JAEHEE.
AND YOUR NAME IS?
My Boyfriend’s Wedding Chapter 1 follows Seo Yeonje as she watches her boyfriend of nine years, Gyeon Woohyun, marry Taeryeong Group heir Lee Taein. After he winks at her during the vows, she recalls how Woohyun came to live with her family at age twenty, how they became lovers and stayed together after her parents died in a fire, and how a month ago he convinced her to accept his one-year fake marriage for three billion won to buy back her house and treat her nightmares. At the ceremony she hears gossip about Taein’s uninvited illegitimate half-brother before a mysterious man sits beside her.
