Which isn't very romantic. But it *does* give us job opportunities. There's probably some superstition that goes into it, too. And the temperatures are definitely more pleasant in June than in February!
And that training camp was really just an excuse to show idols like Jun-kun doing cute, fanservicey things. Like delivering their own love confessions! And since it was a "training camp," it meant they could travel and go sightseeing.
Things did get a bit strange, though. It got turned into a competition with teams, and one of the challenges had Jun-kun tied to a pillar. If his partner didn't slice a wedding cake in time, a bomb would go off and he'd explode!
Or at least that's what they said on TV. Fortunately nothing of the sort happened, and Jun-kun is safe and sound! ๐
...i think that your culture and mine have different ideas of what constitutes wedding rites
there was no cake at mine. although i think gege would have been happy if there was ๅ
we wore traditional robes and performed the rites, bowing to each other and his parents and the heavens, and then we ate the ceremonial foods and drank the ceremonial wine and it was done.
Some people still get married in traditional clothes. It's just that those western-style weddings, where the groom wears a suit and the bride wears a white dress, caught on like wildfire. So when us idols get hired for wedding-themed jobs, that's usually the image they're going for.
Cakes is popular at all sorts of weddings, though. And sometimes the cake is cut using a sword!
That's something you'd both enjoy, too, isn't it? Cutting a big white cake together, using your trusty sword~
[Though not while it's still dripping with the blood of their enemies, hopefully.]
e-ming being my sword, of course. it cares for gege nearly as much as i do, irritating creature. i'm sure it would jump at the chance to cut cake with him.
i'll suggest it to the both of them, if i remember it when i return home.
"talk" is the wrong word to describe what it can do... it is a spiritual weapon, forged from my body. it can communicate with me, but it has no language or words with which to speak
I'm not sure how you forge a sword from your body. But I'm guessing the answer is "magic!"
And I understand a little bit, anyway. You don't always need words to communicate. Sometimes you just need to project the right aura, using your body language, your eyes, and your dazzling smile~ โจ
[A sword wouldn't have any of those things, tho...]
i cut my right eye out, and i used my magic to create a sword forged from my own flesh and blood, so that it will forever be bound to me and me alone
[ and for that reason, technically, e-ming does have an eye... ]
as such:
[ he sends a drawing of e-ming, a much rougher sketch than the link but it should at least give hiyori an idea what the scimitar and its eye look like! ]
[HORRIFIED... The sketch doesn't make it any better either, though he might be glad it's a sketch and not a real photo of a sword with an actual human eyeball stuck to it.]
[ sometimes... hua cheng says things forgetting how horrifying they sound to mortals. ]
yes, terribly, but i had no choice. i was acting in defense of a group of humans being threatened by monsters... it was either that or let them meet their dooms.
my husband loves humankind and would have wanted me to protect them, so i did. it's why i wear the eyepatch.
[He doesn't want to picture any eyeballs being stabbed out!! Urgh!!
But then, is it really a surprise that an immortal ghost king who fought so many battles would've lost an eye at some point? It isn't, truly.]
I just thought you lost it in battle. But I guess technically you still did.
I don't fully understand, but you sound valiant! So it's a very good thing humanity had you on their side. And this goes without saying, but I hope you're able to reunite with your husband and your trusty sword soon.
Though now I'm less sure about cutting a wedding cake with your sword. What if it got frosting in its eye?

why does a wedding need a season? and what manner of bridegroom training would an idol need if he did not intend to marry?
