Gulping the whole content, he kept the empty glass aside, "I don't know how to do this, I seriously feel like an idiotic pervert."
"That was what I also said on the first day of my love confession for Anastasia." Helplessly shaking his head, he chuckled, "Hoping she would call me the biggest idiot alive."
"You met her in one of our company's yearly gala." Sebastian reminded.
"Hmm, and she was amongst the invited guests." Pausing for a while, he added, "You know, if I hadn't started my relationship with friendship I wouldn't have gotten married today. Look, she's my wife today, a supportive one as at that."
When Ryan met Anastasia Jones for the first time in the company's gala, he felt something strong and attractive like passion for her. He went further to approach her and put out a conversation to get her attention.
As time goes on, they became mutual friends. New things began to happen in their lives and they found themselves stuck in a romantic relationship.
Life became much more easy and smooth for Ryan. His heart never stopped beating her name every now and then. To keep her in sight from time to time, he employed her as his personal assistant in the company. Thereafter, their love became broad.
Wiping the cold sweat which was breaking out of his forehead, "This is not happening to me, right?" Taking a deep breath, "I feel nervous."
"Approaching a woman for the first time and expressing how you felt for her is a really hard thing my man."
"Ryan this is weird. If you ask me how these things started I won't know were to start from because–"
"Did you sleep peacefully last night?" Ryan raised his brows.
"No I couldn't." He whined.
"Did you sensed synchronization?"
"Yes Ryan, I did. A couple of times, infact countless times, I can't state them out, it was like madness, I feel stupid, I–"
Cutting him off, Ryan took a deep breath, "Breath Sebastian, breath."
Taking several deep breaths, he consoled himself, "Okay Ryan, am breathing as you said." Patting his chest, "Am breathing, inhaling and exhaling, yes."
"Do you give her constant eye stares whenever she's around you? Do you feel a euphoric sense of relaxation and warmth when she hugs you? Do you feel like you can be your most authentic self with her beside you? Do you feel the flutter of excitement or butterflies dancing in your stomach when you shared your first kiss with her? Do you syncs a picture of her in your head every now and then? Well if yes, then you're welcome to the world of romance."
"Ryan, you won't believe me if I say yes to all you've just said because that's my sensation whenever she's near." Sebastian sighed.
Patting his shoulder, Ryan chuckled, "Go on and make her your woman. Ethnicity and nationality doesn't matter. Don't give a fuck to what the press or medias will say or do."
Poking his chest, he added, "Follow your heart, that what matters because she's in there." Without waiting for him to say anything, he walked away.
Running his hands through his face, Sebastian closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After the kiss he shared with Jin-joo, his life never remains the same again starting from that very moment when it happened. It was like she casted a black magic on him or maybe a spell or something enticing but he won't lie, that kiss tasted more like banana and vanilla-strawberry flavor.

"Ah, I get it. Now I know where the beauty is coming from." Caressing the old woman's grey hair, Petra beamed, "It's such a great honor to have the grandmother of a celebrity in our midst."
"Oh please, the pleasure is mine."
"I'm grateful ma'am," Extending her hand, Laura smiled, "Laura Flynn, the groom's mother."
Raising her brows, Zhou gasped, "Ah, congratulations on your son's wedding."
"Thank you ma'am, you have no idea how happy I am today."
"Every mother should have that feeling in them on the day of their child's success." Zhou smiled.
"Today is more than just success. He has achieved a lot in the years, the only thing left was for him to get married and today my wish has just been granted." Placing her hand on her chest, she sighed in satisfaction, "God bless Anastasia."
"You have a newly wedded daughter in-law," Petra hugged her, "Am so happy for you."
