Weddings with the Moks

Max Mok has four weddings to attend this year… When I meet Kim Sung at a friend's wedding, I don't make the first move. God, no. But she's delightful and gorgeous, and she asks me to dance. Later, we head to her hotel room and… Okay, I admit it doesn't go well. She might be all about one-night stands, but I'm not used to having them. That should be the end of it. I can forget about her or, more likely, obsess about it whenever I can't sleep. But then I see her at a second wedding. Apparently, she's a family friend of my cousins. All three of them are getting married this summer, so she'll be at the next two weddings as well, along with her parents. Kim is even more beautiful than last time, and I really want the chance to prove I'm not a complete disaster in bed. I also want to take her on an actual date, but she has no interest in dating anyone. More than anything, though, I need to avoid her because I'm too embarrassed to hold a conversation, and my brothers have found out about my unfortunate one-night stand. Oh, no. She's coming this way. What do I do?

Leo Mok isn't expecting a runaway bride… When I arrive late to my cousin's wedding-thanks to my first speeding ticket-I'm surprised to see his fiancée, Yvonne Siu, fleeing the scene. She's in distress, having realized that my cousin isn't good enough for her and she agreed to the wedding mainly to make her family happy. I have to come to her rescue, right? I've always had a thing for Yvonne, and when this beautiful pushover gets angry, it's irresistible. I move her stuff out of the apartment she shared with her ex, and I help her discover who she really is. And when she reveals that she's never particularly enjoyed herself in bed…well, I know it's a terrible idea to assist with that problem, but I can't hold back forever. Our lives are getting more entangled, especially since she's temporarily moved in with my parents, and I'm not sure how I'll ever walk away from her. But Yvonne doesn't seem interested in another relationship, and then there's the fact that she nearly married my cousin…

Evan Mok is getting married, much to his family's surprise.Early in the pandemic, my longtime friend Jane Yin and I made a pact: if we were both single on her thirty-third birthday, we'd get engaged and plan a simple wedding. We were lonely, envious of people who weren't isolated in apartments by themselves.More than three years have passed, and I'm ready. Even if I'm outgoing and optimistic on the outside, I've given up on romantic love, and it'll be nice to build a life with my friend. With both of our savings, we can actually afford a house. Jane also longs to be part of a family, and I can give her that. It sounds convenient and comfortable, but we won't have a physical relationship.It turns out that married life is just what I want it to be. We buy a place in the suburbs and eat dinner together every day. Neither of us is attracted to the other, exceptOh hell. I'm definitely starting to wish I could share a bed with Jane, and my feelings are much more complicated than I expected. Unfortunately, I doubt my serious, perfect wife feels the same way, and I don't want to screw up this marriage of convenience by revealing the truth.But it's getting harder and harder to hide my desire.
