Daisy Flower In Winter

Chapter 53's

The night has come, the time of the engagement will begin soon. The guests had also come one by one to meet the invitation of the Han family and Seok Gwan.

The engagement event was held on the side yard of the mansion, as Sora arranged an outdoor themed event and luckily, the weather supported their engagement event with the star-studded nighttime weather and the moon. It's as if nature blesses Hyun-ri and Seok Gwan's relationship.

Mansion is also strictly guarded to avoid things that are not desired. All of this was on orders from Kim Jong-un. All the guests present did not escape the examination before entering the mansion.

"Darling, are you ready?" ask Sora who just entered Hyun-ri's room.

"Oh, eomma's daughter is beautiful." praise Sora to Hyun-ri who is still sitting in front of her dressing table.

"Eomma, I'm so nervous right now" Hyun-ri said with her legs shaking from nervousness.

"Don't be nervous baby, everything will go smoothly." replied Sora soothingly.

Hyun-ri takes a deep breath and exhales slowly to ease her nervousness.

"We'd better get down now. All the invited guests are already present, so it is better that we start the engagement event now. Seok Gwan and the others are waiting" Sora said.

"All right, eomma."

"Let me go down with Hyun-ri, eomma." said Seok Gwan suddenly.

"Oh handsome prince eomma. Sure, you can go down together." replied Sora with a warm smile.

"Eomma went down first, baby." said Sora to Hyun-ri who was getting nervous because of Seok Gwan's arrival.

"Are you nervous?" ask Seok Gwan who walked up to Hyun-ri.

"Hum, I'm so nervous. What guests are there so many?" answer and ask Hyun-ri.

"Yes that's how it is."

Cup...

Seok Gwan kisses Hyun-ri's forehead to calm Hyun-ri's nervousness. He stroked Hyun-ri's cheek gently and looked at her deeply.

"You're beautiful." praise Seok Gwan with a smile.

"You're also handsome, oppa." praise Hyun-ri back with a big smile.

"I love you. Very." Very."

Now all the nervousness of Hyun-ri has gone, because of the sweet words of Seok Gwan. Her husband-to-be can always make Hyun-ri feel better and blush.

"Come, we go downstairs" said Seok Gwan as he reached out to hold Hyun-ri.

Hyun-ri clasps Seok Gwan's hand and gets up from her seat. The two of them walk together leaving Hyun-ri's room to go downstairs.

Kim Seo - jung (Han Hyun - ri)

The two are very compatible, Hyun-ri in a black dress choice Seok Gwan and Seok Gwan with maroon-colored suit choice from Hyun-ri.

All eyes were on the two of them, as they walked to where the event was going to take place.

Hyun-ri who always smiles sweetly as she greets the invited guests and the loyal Seok Gwan with his flat and cold face.

Seok Gwan will smile only in front of those he loves and is close to.

"Oppa, can you smile a little? Get rid of your cold, flat face first." Hyun-ri whispered to Seok Gwan.

"I'll just smile for you." replied indifferently Seok Gwan.

"Huh, why would I fall in love with a cold person like you, oppa?"

"Because I'm handsome." replied Seok Gwan proudly.

Hyun-ri just rolled her eyes lazily. Seok Gwan always prides himself on his good looks. Yes, even though Seok Gwan is handsome.

"You guys look so harmonious. One is beautiful with her big smile and one is handsome with her cold face" Seo Yoon said between praising and insinuating. They had now gathered the four of them before the core event began.

"Oh oppa, you have a cold face. The three of you are both cold-faced." Hyun-ri replied with a puff.

"No problem, the most important thing is that we are handsome and warm to you." - Hwan-ki.

"Hmm yeah, all right. Your warm attitude, just for me." Hyun-ri replied with a warm smile.

*******

The clock has shown at 7pm now is the time for the ring exchange to begin. The host has also been confronting guests to give a speech before starting the core event.

"Good night ladies and gentlemen, invited guests. I represent the Han and Kim families here, thanking you for the presence of the ladies and gentlemen." Started the show host.

"Because the clock has shown at 7pm, then now we will start the main event. Let's welcome our couple tonight. Young master Kim Seok Gwan and young lady Han Hyun-ri."

The guests applaud Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri. And that, makes Hyun-ri even more nervous. However, he still walked side by side with Seok Gwan facing the guests who came.

"They're all grown up" said Byun-wo, who was standing next to Jong-un.

"Yes you're right. It felt like just yesterday I was holding my daughter. And now she will be a wife and daughter-in-law." Jong-un replied with a warm smile looking at Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri.

The parents are so happy to see Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri. They don't expect Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri's friendship to end up in the.

All eyes are on Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri, who are now facing each other to start their core event, exchanging rings.

"Hyun-ria." call Seok Gwan slowly so Hyun-ri can hear him.

Grep...

Seok Gwan hugs Hyun-ri's waist tightly to get closer to him. The guests were excited to see their closeness.

"Oppa, don't be like this. I.." said Hyun-ri a little embarrassed for being the center of attention of many people.

"Sstt, listen to me. I won't say will you marry me to you here." cut Seok Gwan whispered softly in Hyun-ri's ear.

Hyun-ri who heard that was confused, the meaning of Seok Gwan's words. He thought, not everyone will say that when going to propose to his lover. Then, why did Seok Gwan not want to say that. Hyun-ri's mind continues to guess the meaning of Seok Gwan's words.

"Why?" tanya is nervous Hyun-ri.

"Because you have to marry me. You can't refuse or walk away from me, you're just mine Han Hyun-ri." whispered Seok Gwan with a warm smile.

"Coercion." Hyun-ri replied with a red hue on her cheek.

Seok Gwan takes off Hyun-ri's embrace, takes their engagement ring box and immediately pins his ring on Hyun-ri's ring finger, then taps Hyun-ri's back. Instead, Hyun-ri also pinned the ring on Seok Gwan's ring finger.

Now they are officially engaged, one step towards marriage.

"I love you." said Seok Gwan softly with a warm smile.

Everyone applauded loudly for Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri and everyone was happy for our couple.

******

"It's romantic. But I hate to see all this drama." said a stranger who was standing not far from the party.

"I will ruin your happiness. I won't let you all be happy."

A stranger walked a little closer to one of the big trees near the party. He wore black clothes with a hat and mask covering his face.

*****

At Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri's engagement party, guests are enjoying the meal. Hyun-ri is also chatting with several guests who are his business partners, as well as Seok Gwan who is also chatting with his two friends and appas.

Until Seok Gwan's attention is distracted, when he accidentally captures a figure in a black jacket with a hat and mask covering his face, which is hiding behind a large tree close to the party area.

Seok Gwan continued to watch the movements of the person, who seemed to be watching someone among the guests. Until Seok Gwan follows the direction of the person and...

"Hyun-ri" said Seok Gwan with an inexplicable look on his face.

Seok Gwan walks up to Hyun-ri by occasionally looking at the stranger.

"Where are you going?" hwan-ki asks but is not convinced by Seok Gwan who walks away from him.

****

As Seok Gwan gets close to Hyun-ri, his steps are stopped as Seok Gwan watches the stranger pull out a gun that has been fitted with a silencer.

The stranger pointed his gun right at Hyun-ri standing up.

"No." said Seok Gwan.

"Hyun-ri!!!!" yelled Seok Gwan who ran towards Hyun-ri.

Slupe..

Slupe...

Akh...

"O-oppa.." call out Hyun-ri as Seok Gwan hugs Hyun-ri tightly.

"Seok Gwan!!!" yelled Hwan-ki, Seo Yoon and the old men ran straight towards Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri.

"Huh.ssstt. I love you." said Seok Gwan.

Two shots are fired just like that by the stranger and the bullet goes straight through Seok Gwan's left back which instantly protects and hugs Hyun-ri before the bullet penetrates Hyun-ri's heart.

While the guests were scattered in panic when they saw splashes of blood coming out of the back of Seok Gwan who was shot 2 times in a row.

"O-oppa.." call Hyun-ri with a quivering voice and tears that have fallen on her cheeks.

Bruck...

Hyun-ri falls with Seok Gwan for not being able to support Seok Gwan's already limp body due to the loss of a lot of blood. In fact, the suit that Seok Gwan used was already wet due to the blood that kept flowing.

"Don't let people out of this mansion area, before you catch the person who has harmed Seok Gwan. And immediately call the ambulance." Jong-un orders furiously at the guards.

"Oppa.. No. gabe.. Please hold on." Hyun-ri said with her growing cries, seeing Seok Gwan's situation.

Uhuk...

Seok Gwan coughed until he drew blood from his mouth. Seok Gwan's face was pale as well,

"Hyun.. Hyun-ria.." call Seok Gwan softly by nodding his hand slowly to touch Hyun-ri's wet cheek with tears.

"Shut up, don't talk." Hyun-ri said by grabbing Seok Gwan's hand and closing her cheek, "Hold the oppa." Hyun-ri continued.

Seok Gwan was only able to smile warmly with his already weakened breath. Until slowly Seok Gwan closed his eyes with a face that was getting pale.

Huhhhhh....

"No, not oppa. Wake up!!!" hysterically shouted Hyun-ri with tears and shook Seok Gwan's body to open his eyes.

"Wake up. I didn't tell you to leave like this, you have to get up now. If you don't wake up I won't marry you, I'll marry someone else" Hyun-ri said, yelling at Seok Gwan, "Wake up.. Don't go." continued Lirih Hyun-ri.

Hwan-ki, Seo Yoon and the parents who saw that were devastated and sad.
