Uploaded- Telling The World

I felt a smooth hand touch mine as I sit in my room, preparing for my wedding day today.

"Seong-im, how are you feeling today?" my mother asks me as she looks at me in the eye.

I could see how happy and proud she was feeling at that moment and I flashed a smile to her. Today is the day we would tell the world that we were always destined to be together for the rest of our lives.

"Umma, I'm fine, don't worry about me." I told her.

She had always worry about my health ever since that day. The day with my man.

"Ji-hyo, your make up is done!" my stylist exclaims as she finished the final touches.

"Thank you!"

My stylist nods her head as I looked at myself in the mirror. I couldn't have done something as wonderful as what my stylist has done. I flung my arms around her and hugged her tightly, I couldn't express how delighted and excited I was for this day.

"Thank you! I couldn't have done anything like this, thank you so much my friend." I thank her once again.

"Seong-im, my daughter... Umma and Appa can't say how proud we are. You're getting married! With your one man. We are so very proud of our girl for finding a man like Jong Kook." my mother cries silently.

"You'll always be our girl. The girl who was always good in Basketball but more importantly, our child that has made us so proud over the years." my father said proudly as he embraces mother at his side.

I stood up from the chair and open the curtain and windows and inhales the morning air at my apartment.

"Oppa, today is the day. Finally. Are you as happy as I am?" I asked myself as my lips help themselves by curving upwards.

I look down at the beautiful wedding dress I'm wearing for this day, the dress which was reserved for this day from my one man.

Just as my mind thought of my man, my brother comes to the door and shouts, "Noona, it's time for us to go!"

My brother comes inside the room, wearing his suit. He offers my hand and I accepted it.

"Thank you!" I thanked him jokingly as he escorted me to the car with our mother holding the end of my long, white dress.

*Skip time to the venue*

As we reached the venue for our wedding, I couldn't help smiling. Following my family, we soon reached the room where I waited patiently for the groom to arrive.

"Knock knock, may I come in?" a voice asked behind the other end of the door.

I breathed in and out to calm myself down. The groom was outside and I couldn't help myself but feel happy.

I got up from my seat and opened the door personally for my man.

"Of course you may, my man. You didn't have to knock, you know I would allow you to come in, everyone but you have to knock." I told him and flashed a smile at him.

"Hey, my love. You look gorgeous in this dress." he complimented.

"Oppa, you have seen me in this dress before. Go straight to the point." I said a little harshly and he seemed to get my point.

"Oh, are you angry?" he asked as his hands wrapped around my waist and he pulled gently nearer to him.

I grinned widely, he was truly my man. I nodded my head and leaned in and tilt my head. Our lips touched. Slowly, he draw his lips away from mine that it was almost touching.

We opened our lips slightly as I pressed my lips.

My hands were now around his neck as he leaned his back on the door behind and pulled me nearer to him.

He slowly inserted his tongue into my mouth. I bit his lower lips gently, letting my teeth graze their lip.

After a while, I draw my lips back to catch my breath.

"Noona, it's time!" my brother calls me.

I opened the door and said, "Thank you, Min-ah. Jong Kook oppa is me now, I'm sure we can go up on our own."

Min-ho nods his head and leaves us.

Jong Kook held his hand up in the air and asks, "May I have the honor of bringing you up myself?"

I nod my head shyly and gave a peck on his cheeks. I took his hand and we walk up together.

"Where's our bride and groom?" my mother asks Min-ho worriedly.

We were supposed to be up there five minutes ago.

"We're here!" Jong Kook answers when we arrived.

"Omo, Seong-im. Are you okay?" my mother asks concernly as she saw my face all pale.

"Nehh... Umma, Appa, Min, don't worry about me. This wedding must go on." I said weakly.

Jong Kook's parents looked at me worriedly too but seeing how determined I was, they signaled the start of the music.

Our parents walked down the stairs first, with us, following behind.

"Are you okay?" Jong Kook asks.

"Nehh, lets go. Our guests are waiting for us." I said as we walked down the staircase, our arms linked.

We smiled to the guests happily as they clapped at our arrival.

While walking down, I could feel the pain coming back.

Jong Kook, who has been casting secret glances at me this while, tightened our link in order for me not to fall.

"We're nearly there, love, hang on please." he whispers.

With his support, we slowly made our way to the table where the priest was.

"Today, we are here to witness the marriage of Kim Jong Kook and Cheon Seong-im ssi. Please, repeat after me. Kim Jong Kook ssi, please begin the wedding vow."

"I, Kim Jong Kook, willingly take Cheon Seong-im as my wife for the rest of my life. 

With my whole heart, I take you as my partner for life, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine.

I promise to be faithful to you in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring."

The priest nods and turns to Ji-hyo.

"I, Cheon Seong-im, willingly take Kim Jong Kook as my husband for the rest of my life. 

With my whole heart, I take you as my partner for life, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine.

I promise to be faithful to you in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring."

"You may now kiss the bride." he announced as Jong Kook pulls Ji-hyo nearer to him for a kiss.

After breaking the kiss, I lifted my hand up, for him to slide a ring on my finger and he doing likewise.

I smiled at him weakly as the pain got even worse. Just when I felt strength ebbing away from my legs, he supported me.

"Oppa, I..."

"Don't speak anymore, love. It's alright, I'm here to support you. I know it's hard but please, hold on for a little while longer. Afterwards, let's get you back to the room so you can rest." he whispers into my ear.

As the ceremony ended, the guests went to the table for a tea break.

Carefully, Jong Kook carried me on his back.

As we reached the room, he put me down on the couch, and told me to rest. I nod weakly as I closed my eyes, slowly falling into slumber.

"Hyo, you're gonna be okay. You got to be..." Jong Kook said as he caresses my hair and held my hand tightly.

*Skip time to wedding dinner preparation*

"Hyo, we got to prepare for the wedding dinner." Jong Kook woke me up and pass me the glass of water on the table.

I sat up and accepts the glass and began drinking.

"Hyo, I got to go now too, I'll be back once I'm done, alright?"

I nod my head and put the glass of water back to the table.

I was about to get up when I heard my stylist say, "It's okay unnie, I can do your make up like this. Oppa said that you needed lots of rest."

"Oh okay, if you can do it."

After my stylist finished helping me with my make up, I changed into another dress.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.

"Hey, feeling better now?"

"I'm feeling a lot better now oppa."

"That's good. That's good. I was so worried about you Hyo."

"Ahh, mianhae oppa!"

"Come on, let's go." he took my hand and brought me to the door where we were supposed to go to greet the guests.

"Ji-hyo! Jong Kook!" the group called.

"Jae Suk hyung, Suk Jin hyung, Gary, Haha, Kwang Soo, Joong Ki,  Lizzy, you all made it!" Jong Kook says.

"Nehh, how could we miss this dinner?" Jae Suk asked.

After greeting the guests and thanking them for coming, they were all asked to go inside as the dinner was about to start.

"Welcome all to the wedding dinner if our beloved Ace and Commander. Yes, both of them have had a very busy day today and would like to share this moment with all of you. I am Yoo Jae Suk and I will be your emcee for tonight. I am sure that all of you are waiting anxiously for the arrival of our bride and groom. Before they come in, let me please fill you in..."

"I am sure all of you are know excited to meet the couple. Let us welcome the couple now!" Jae Suk continues.

Just before the door opened at our arrival, Jong Kook was given a microphone.

"Thank you."

"Are you ready my love?"

I nod my head as the doors opened and we began to walk to the front.

"Chonbonjjum samkigo ddo manbonjjum chusuryo bojima
Malhago shippo michilgot katunde nol warak nan ango shipeunde

Hanyuhjagaisso ironal morunun
Sarangpadumyonso saranginjul do morunun
Namankum ggok babokatun sulpun nol dugo
Isungando nunmuri najiman hengbokangol
Niga kyote itgi ddemuniya"

In English:
"It must’ve been a long time. Long enough for these words to become colourless.
Even if I just see your eyes, I know everything,
Like your friend, like your shadow.

We must’ve been together always. When you’re having hard time and you are sad,
even when you’re lonley. Holding onto seperation a bit longer,
Even when I’m hurting to wipe away your tears..

There’s a man. Who loves you so much.
There’s a man. Who can’t even say I love you.
By your side I put my hand out and
at a path were you can always reach me
I, who cherishes you more than myself, am with you.

To make you laugh, I think of only that and
When and where ever you are I’m watching you and missing you.
And who worries of only you,

There’s a man. Who loves you so much.
There’s a man. Who can’t even say I love you.
By your side I put my hand out and
at a path were you can always reach me
I, who cherishes you more than myeslf, am with you.

For the thousandth time I swallow and again for ten thousandth time I try to set." he began to sing while we walked down the aisle.

My heart fluttered as I heard his voice, I thought I knew him but I was wrong. I never knew he was could write songs. The smile on my face when wider as I continue to hear his lovely voice.

Just as he finished singing, we reached the front and were ready to say what we had to.

"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Kim Jong Kook. Thank you all for making time to come to this very special occasion of ours. On behalf of our families, we sincerely thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Today, the reason why I am standing here with my loved one is because of my parents. Without them and Seong-im's, this day would never come.

Appa, Umma, thank you so much for raising me as your son. Without you, I would have never been able to stand here with Seong-im by my side. Thank you for giving us our blessings.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to Seong-im family. Thank you too for letting me take care of your one and only daughter for the rest of my live. I promise to you that I would take good care of her, I won't let tears of sadness come out from her eyes, only tears of joy. You ought to feel proud for raising Seong-im into such a beautiful lady which has captivated my entire heart. Thank you for your blessings in this marriage."

Jong Kook smiled at me and passed me the microphone for my speech.

"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Cheon Seong-im. Like what oppa has said before, we really appreciate that you have taken time off of your busy schdueles to come for this wedding dinner tonight.

Appa, Umma, I haven't been the best daughter to raise but you never stopped and now, I'm here with the man I love so dearly. Min, I am not the perfect older sister that the world could give but you helped me so much till I can't even count. Even today, you have been a very big help. Like oppa, I would like to thank
you for giving us your blessings.

I too, has lots to thank for. One which is essential to this day. Thank you so much for raising Jong Kook oppa into the man he is today. Thank you for making him the man who my heart can't resist and of course, for your blessings you have given to us." I finished.

"Thank you our couple for this heart warming speech, I am sure all of us are touched by what you have just said. Now, let us please get the bride and groom to prepare the glass." Jae Suk continued to emcee.

Together, we poured the glass till it was full.

"Let us now invite the family of the bride and groom for a toast to their everlonging happiness. May I invite all of you to stand too. Thank you."

The guests rised from their seats.

*Skip time to the couple's house*

"Hyo-ah, you must be tired from today."

"I'm fine oppa, really." I replied and sat down on our bed.

"Oppa, I must know, did you compose that song?"

"Ani, my friend helped me with that. I only sang it."

"I loved that you know?"

"I knew that from the moment my mouth opened. Your eyes told me all, they were sparkling. Shall I sing it to you once again before we start?" he asks.

"Please!"
