“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JIYEON, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!” (Imagine them seeing in Korean)

 

“Happy birthday Jiyeonnie!!!  Make a wish!!” Jiyong excitedly asked their daughter as he carried her up to blow her candles

 

“Appa… I want Kwon Jiho to come earlier!” Jiyeon whispered to her father before blowing the candles making the rest curious about her wish but not Taeyeon who immediately laughed seeing the smirk that Jiyong sent her

 

“Dream on Kwon Jiyong!” she exclaimed seeing him smile wider while looking at her

 

“But it’s your daughter’s wish!!” he playfully pouted but Taeyeon just stuck her tongue out and turned around to take more pictures

 

“What did you wish for Aegi-ah? Imos will get it for you if your appa and eomma won’t!” Tiffany happily asked as she and the Yuri forcefully took Jiyeon from Jiyong

 

“Yah! How can you just grab my daughter like that?! Taengoo they took Jiyeonnie!!!” he called to his wife who was busy with her phone

 

“And what? You want me to scold them? Hahaha. And here I was thinking that she was too attached to you. But one word from her aunts and she’s out of your arms hahahahahaha” she continued laughing

 

“Aish… Just you wait Tae. If our Kwon Jiho really comes, I won’t let anyone, even your sisters get close to him…. Oh and just so you know I’m planning to make Jiyeon’s dream come true. Tonight being our first night and all..” he whispered to his wife making her face blush

 

“B—byu-byuntae!!” she shouted as she ran after Jiyong weaving thru the laughing crowd

 

 

 

“Oh? Sajangnim!!!!” Taeyeon called halting as she saw President Lee come in holding lots of gifts

 

“Taeyeon-ah! where’s your daughter? Can I meet her now? I hope she likes my gifts. I didn’t know what she would like so I just bought anything that I thought she would like” he asked looking around to look for a little kid

 

“Aigoo. Lee Samchon! That’s just for Taengoo’s daughter. What if I have my own? Will you spoil her as well?” Sunny asked towing little Jiyeon with her

 

“Ani. I won’t even visit you!” he replied seriously

 

“Wae?! I’m your niece!!” Sunny cried

 

“Then how dare you have a child without even letting me meet your boyfriend then? You’re making me and your eomma and appa grandparents without meeting your husband-to-be!” he teased making Sunny stammer at the sudden direction of their conversation

 

“Ma-married? Who me? No-not yet samchon!! I…um…I’m not ready yet!” she stuttered

 

“Hahahaha I’m just teasing you Sunkyu. And for your information, I already met your boyfriend” he revealed laughing at his own niece

 

“Ehhhh??!!” Sunny shouted in surprise before breaking into a huge grin “You approve then samchon? You did approve or else you won’t be telling me this then… Jiyeon-ah stay with your eomma okay. Imo will look for your Uncle Daesung” she told the little girl before running off into the crowd

 

 

 

“So this is the little Kwon. Annyeong Jiyeon-ah.” he marveled seeing the little girl hiding behind her mother’s dress

 

“Say hi Jiyeon-ah. this is your Aunt Sunny’s uncle and the president of Eomma’s company. Greet him like how we thought you last night” Taeyeon told the little girl as she pulled her out

 

“An-annyeonghaseyo..um… Kwon Jiyeon imnida” she cutely bowed

 

“Annyeong Jiyeon-ah. you can call me Grandpa Lee since I am technically your eomma’s and your other Imo’s father in SM, so that makes you my grandchild. Here this are for you. Krystal! Kai! Can you help Jiyeonnie bring her gifts to the table with the other’s gifts. She won’t be able to carry them all” he said showing her the gifts that he brought and calling the two who were passing by

 

“Thank you sajangnim. You really didn’t have to. Aigoo….how will we be able to bring home all the gifts that Jiyeon received today..” she sighed staring at Jiyeon’s back as the little girl excitedly went with the two to the corner where her mountain of gifts were stacked

 

“….hm…you know Taeyeon-ah if you didn’t explain to me beforehand I would have thought that Jiyeon was really a child of yours and Jiyong-ssi” he commented as he too followed Jiyeon with his eyes

 

“We hear that a lot actually. Haha” Taeyeon laughed since they have heard that repeatedly from their friends

 

“By the way have you told your parents yet? I haven’t met them in a long time…oh it’s your husband”  he asked as Jiyong walked to them

 

“Annyeonhaseyo President Lee. Kwon Jiyong imnida. It’s nice to meet you sir and thank you for letting us off and also for coming to our daughter’s birthday” Jiyong gratefully said as he bowed in front of the older man

 

“Annyeong Jiyong-ssi. It’s a pleasure to meet the man that managed to break into our Kid leader’s heart. Who would have thought this choding would have a family first? I thought it would be Seohyun-ah who marries first being the most mature one out of you girls” the president greeted, teasing Taeyeon as well.

 

“Eiiii sajangnim!!” she whined blushing

 

“Haha I’m kidding Taeng. Now I must leave you lovebirds. I actually have to attend a wedding later so I need to leave immediately if I want to get there before the bride. Send my greetings to the other kids Tae. And once again Jiyong-ah welcome to the family and take care of our Taeyeon, arrasseo? And once again tell Jiyeonie happy birthday from me” he hurriedly said while looking at his watch bidding them goodbye and waving at the other kids who bowed to him as he passed by.

 

President Lee bid them goodbye but the truth was that he was meeting with YG’s President, they were the ones who volunteered to pick up Taeyeon and Jiyong’s parents at the hotel where they were staying since, aside from letting their idols go to this secret party, they thought that it was their responsibility to support both parents since they too stood beside the children as their 2^nd parents during the time that they trained in their respective companies.

 

 

 

 

“Where are our parents oppa? Shouldn’t they have been here by now? We were even planning to tell them before the party starts so that they can meet Jiyeon happily… what if they come immediately to the party and see us… what’ll happen then? Do you think we could convince them to approve of us being together? Taeyeon worriedly asked her husband after President Lee left them

 

“Don’t worry everything will be fine. Our parents will accept us when they understand our situation. And you’ve got to admit that Jiyeon is not that hard to like” Jiyong said to calm his wife down who was fretting and fidgeting nervously in her shimmering outfit

 

“But oppa what if your parents don’t like me?” she asked worriedly while fixing and pulling her already perfect dress

 

“Shush now. Why won’t they like you? You’re my wife. And stop worrying, a queen should never show her fear in front of her loyal subjects remember?” Jiyong chided

 

 

“And by loyal subjects you meant us didn’t you?” Jessica said coldly sporting a chic ice princess gown “Need I remind you that neither I nor my sister are your “subjects” we are simply….guests….yes guests from another country here to attend your daughter’s birthday.. isn’t that right Jiyeonnie? Aunt Jess and Aunt Krys are also princesses right?” Jessica continued as Jiyeon came to them with Krystal

 

“Yesh!!!! Aunt Jess and Aunt Krys are princesses too! From different kingdom like Jiyeonnie!” she cheered cutely earning giggles from the adults

 

“Arasseo, arasseo. Haha are you enjoying the party Jiyeonnie? Did you play your samchons as well?” Jiyong asked since she has already met the girls from their previous visits

 

“Neh appa! I even met Aunt Kryssie’s friends!!” she happily answered, the girls from F(X) and a few boys from EXO, namely Kai, Sehun, Suho, and D.O, accidentally found out a few days before because they tried to surprise Krystal at Jessica’s house since she cancelled their weekend plans and told them that she was sick, but it turned out that they were the ones surprised because they caught Jiyong, Taeyeon, and the rest of the girls in the midst of planning for Jiyeon’s party. They all promised to keep it from the others with the condition that they get invited as well

 

“How about your castle did you like it? Although appa is sorry that we can’t live in it because it’s too big and full of air that it might pop when eomma wear’s heels inside” he apologized

 

“It’sh okay appa. At least Jiyeon gets to see lots of princes and princesses and knights!! Oh and Bae samchon is a REAL KNIGHT appa did you know!!! Appa is friends with a knight!!” she excitedly shared because she met Youngbae earlier who opted for a full knight costume instead of a king’s or a prince’s.

 

Jiyong pouted at his daughter’s obvious awe at her Bae samchon, the knight, “but Jiyeonnie, appa is a KING and knights work for their king! Isn’t appa greater?” he asked her loudly so that his voice would reach Youngbae, who was busy getting drinks for himself and Jessica, however his voice attracted the other idols as well

 

“Appa is jjang! But Knights are way waaaaaay cooler than kings because they have their own horsies and they look cool with swordsh…. and…. and…. knightsh go to fights! Kings only sit down and eat and party appa” she answered honestly which earned Jiyong snickers from the crowd

 

“Taengoo, Jiyeonnie doesn’t like me anymore!!!” he cried to her pretending to be sad but sending glares to Youngbae

 

“Hahaha the great Dragon crushed by a little girl. High five Jiyeon-ah!” Taeyeon cheered with the others instead of siding with him making Jiyong pout even more

 

“Aish chincha! As King, I declare that from now on knights are banned from my kingdom!!!! Yah Dong Youngbae, Kang Daesung, Choi Seunghyun, maknae-ah – wait why are all the members of Big Bang wearing knight’s armors except me???!” he suddenly asked noticing that all s were indeed sporting knight’s outfits while he was the only one wearing a king’s, earning apologetic looks from the girls

 

“Well… um…. actually oppa…er… Jiyeon told us a few days ago that she liked knights better than princes and kings now so…um… we changed the guy’s costumes just for her… but..BUT…but we couldn’t change yours because you two are the hosts of the party so you MUST wear a more royal outfit than them.” Sunny explained quickly to pacify the fuming Jiyong

 

“Aish….” He said stomping off to get himself some air and drinks to cool his face, bright red from embarrassment leaving the rest laughing at his ordeal

 

“Hahaha noona who would think that G-Dragon-ssi would be such a guy hahaha. All hail Jiyeonnie for taming the big bad dragon! Hahahaha” the boys from EXO cheered much to the amusement of Taeyeon and the rest as they all returned to enjoying the party.

 

 

 

“Jiyeonnie.. you didn’t invite Daejoon oppa to your party?” Taeyeon asked privately to her daughter who was busy admiring her cake

 

“Ani eomma. If I invite oppa then appa will see him. Appa scares the boys at the daycare. He tells them that I’m not allowed to play with boys, so now the rest won’t play with me as well. Good thing appa doesn’t know of oppa yet or else I think he would scare him away as well” Jiyeon told her mother seriously

 

“Aigoo, don’t worry Jiyeon-ah I’ll scold appa so that he won’t do that again. He can’t scold all the boys who come near you. We can’t help it if our daughter is really pretty right? Now go and play with your Aunts, I heard that they brought many gifts just for you” Taeyeon revealed to make Jiyeon feel better

 

“Really eomma?” Jiyeon excitedly asked but ran off to find her aunts before Taeyeon had time to answer

 

 

 

“Noona…..” Kai called to Taeyeon when the rest dispersed along with Jiyeon who clung to her So Nyeo Shi Dae Imos asking for her gifts

 

“hmm…uh…Neh?” she asked him although she already has a slight idea on what he wanted to talk about

 

“Noona…. Baek…. Baek is our friend noona…. Now don’t get me wrong, all of us here are happy to see you happy. It’s just that….. when he finds out about this he’ll be heartbroken… he… he truly did love you noona… It’s not my place to interfere…. I just wanted to know… noona are you really happy now? As in really happy? You can take that as a question from a little brothr who’s concerned for his noona….. because if you really are noona and G-Dragon hyung really makes you happy….then…. then I’ll also be happy for you noona. And I’ll take care of Baek, he may be rude or silly sometimes, but he’s a nice kid. He’ll understand that you chose to be happy….. and that he should too.” Kai timidly said which earned him a surprise hug from Taeyeon

 

“I know Kai… I’m sorry as well to have hurt your friend, but please know that I too have loved him… I still do but my love for him has changed… it’s more like my heart will always have space for him as someone who once owned it, be it as a friend now or as a little brother like you….. and Kai… yes I really am happy, I’m happy now with my family. And your G-Dragon sunbae can be childish, rude, mean, and even crazy or he may have a bad image but he is the person who makes me happy, who has been there for me through one of my toughest times and who has given me a chance at my dream of having a family… One day Kai, when you get married… when you find the one who is meant for you, maybe it’s Soojung or it may be somebody else, but once you find her you will know that whatever challenges that may come, you will still be happy as long as you are with the person you love the most.” She answered him letting go of their hug

 

“Yah noona! Don’t cry! Soojung might think I made you cry!” Kai panicky said as he wiped the tears from her eyes

 

“Hahaha sorry. Don’t worry it’ll be our little secret” she making Kai more flustered

 

 

“Noona~~~Sica noona~~” he whined at the laughing Taeyeon pulling her towards his girlfriend’s sister

 

“What’s wrong Kai?” Jessica asked when they got closer

 

“Noona, ppali ppali Taeyeon noona needs a retouch!!” he cried showing her that Taeyeon’s eye make-up was smudged

 

“Pabo-yah. Are you a kid? Aish quick before your husband sees you and leaves you because you certainly look like a panda or a raccoon even” she scolded all the while pulling Taeyeon towards the dressing room at the side (not the one with the wedding clothes) while Kai followed behind them like a baby duckling.

 

 

 

 Taeyeon leaving the main hall was the cue for the guests to go out to the garden where the proposal was to take place so Krystal, F(x) and the other boys of EXO took Jiyeon with them to prepare. The girls of So Nyeo Shi Dae all rushed to the other dressing room to change first into their bride’s-maid outfits while the BIG BANG boys went out to get their helmets and stood in line by the door, acting like honor guards waiting for their King. Jiyong himself got ready in his royal clothes and practicing with his lines at the gazebo at the center.

 

Seeing Kai sprint outside all the lights in the garden were tuned off. Now all the King needed to do was wait for his Queen to come out….

 

 

…

 

 

…

 

 

…then the doors opened to reveal the Queen that everyone was waiting for….

 

 

One by one the idols harmonized to the soft music from the piano, filling the garden with sweet music…. ”Marry Me by Train”….. little by little the lights on the trail lit up to illuminate Taeyeon’s path showing her the way to the center until she reached her King…

 

 

“Oppa what’s this? Another event? But it’s not my birthday nor is it our anniversary…” Taeyeon trailed off as Jiyong, who was still singing, walked closer to her….one step……two steps…..until they were face to face

 

“Taeyeon-ah…. do you remember the day when I told you that someday I’ll marry you with the blessing of all our loved ones?” Jiyong asked as he took her hands in his own

 

“uh…yeah… it was a few days after you told me you loved me…” Taeyeon replied feeling curious as to where this was going

 

“Yes…. I told you that someday I would marry you again and give you a wedding that you deserve. A wedding with lot of flowers and music and with our friends and families as witnesses.” he told her as he took deep breaths

 

“But oppa… We’re already married. I’m already happy as long as I’m with you and Jiyeon, even if we didn’t have a wedding ceremony and even if our friends and family have to find out later. With you by my side, I will always be happy…” she trailed off as Jiyong kissed her hands and knelt down in front of her

 

“A promise is a promise Taeng…so with our friends and family as witness…. Kim Taeyeon will you give me the honor of being your husband?... Will you marry me Yeon-ah?” Jiyong asked her with sincerity

 

“Our- our families oppa?” she asked looking around to see that their families were indeed standing together outside the gazebo with all of their closest friends. She could see her’s and Jiyong’s mother as well as Haeyeon and a woman who could only be Jiyong’s sister, tearing up as they watched the scene before them

 

“You-you called them oppa? The-they already know ev-everything?” Taeyeon’s words broke off as she could no longer hold back her tears

 

“Yeah… I thought about a way in which could I ensure that I will get a yes from you and found that the surest way is to get our parent’s blessings and make you even more in love with me” he answered cheekily earning chuckles from the people around them

 

“Pabo-oppa. Aish …. I thought you said you wouldn’t make me cry?” Taeyeon teased as she laughed amidst her tears

 

“I think this can be an exemption to that promise, don’t you think so as well?... and um… Tae… I’m kinda getting old here… so … I’m asking you again… Kim Taeyeon the lovely girl from Jeonju, Taeyeon the golden girl of SM, Taengoo the precious leader of So Nyeo Shi Dae, Tae eomma… Will you marry me?”

 

“….yes…” she whispered silently so that only Jiyong could here

 

“What? I didn’t here you?” Jiyong asked with a smirk

 

“I said yes oppa” she told him this time a little louder

 

“What? I still can’t here you” he asked again smiling brightly

 

“hahaha silly oppa. YES! YES! YES!!!!” she shouted earning cheers and whistles from the gathered crowd as Jiyong stood up and kissed her sharing with her all the love and happiness that he felt

 

“My ring oppa!” she playfully pouted when they finally broke off their kiss as he forgot to give her the ring because of his excitement

 

“Oh yeah haha. Sorry. Here let me” he said taking out the ring from the box and carefully slipping in on Taeyeon’s finger, next to their wedding ring that they both chose to wear for Jiyeon’s party since they didn’t have any media or fans to hide it from

 

“It’s beautiful oppa. Thank you” she gratefully said as she hugged him close

 

 

“Unnie!!” Haeyeon called as she and the others guests crowded around the happy couple

 

“Haeyeon-ah! Eomma, Appa! You’re really here! So you guys knew about it? Where’s oppa?”  Taeyeon happily asked her family as she hugged each one noticing that her older brother was not with them

 

“Neh unnie. Brother-in-law came to our house personally to explain everything and ask for appa and eomma’s blessing. He also already met our family elders and our cousins! Oh and oppa is here with us but he’s shy to come near because he was the one who gave your husband a hard time” Haeyeon revealed

 

“I wasn’t shy!...There was just... um.. to many people around our sister so I wasn’t able to squeeze in” Jiwoong retorted, blushing slightly upon hearing their youngest sister’s words

 

“Oppa! I missed you!” Taeyeon shouted as she ran to hug her brother

 

“I missed you too sis. And I’m glad to see you happy.” he said after hugging his sister for a few moments “Though I’m still miffed that we found out last about your situation and about your marriage” he added

 

“Mianhe oppa. I’m sorry as well eomma and appa. I apologize if we had to keep this from you but please understand that it wasn’t our intention to hurt you” Taeyeon apologized

 

“Hush now Yeon-ah. now is not the time for apologies, and also, your husband has already apologized and explained enough for the both of you” her father hushed as he hugged his daughter again

 

“Now let’s go everyone. You kids get changed as well. Haeyeon-ah help me with your sister’s dress” Taeyeon’s mother ordered as they lead the way back into the hall

 

“Let’s go? What do you mean eomma? Where are we going?” she asked confused as to why the others seem to know everything tha was to happen tonight except her

 

“To your dressing room of course. Jessica and Tiffany already prepared your dress so you don’t have to worry about it not fitting you” her mother answered

 

“My dressing room? Wae?” she naively asked making the whole procession stop

 

“Aigoo… Son-in-law, I think I will have to apologize. Are you sure you want to marry my daughter? Sometimes she can really be as slow as a turtle and as stubborn as a mule” Kim appa’s apology earned laughter from the crowd

 

“It’s okay Father-in-law, I got used to it already. And Taeng, didn’t you just say yes to my offer of marriage?” Jiyong asked turning to his wife

 

“Ye-yes. But what does that have to do with where we are going?” she stupidly asked once again when they finally reached the doors

 

“We’re getting married of course...” he dramatically answered as he opened the doors to reveal the wedding hall that their friends had prepared for them. The divider walls had been removed to make the hall bigger and the other chairs had been set up by the staff

 

“Wow oppa…. Wait you mean get married…. as in…. as in now?!!” Taeyeon voiced out in surprise finally getting what everyone has been saying the whole time

 

“Ugh finally you got it. Now let’s go to your dressing room. And you shoo, go to yours and change. Oh and everyone who hasn’t changed yet, get ready for the wedding” Jessica ordered, taking the lead with Taeyeon and her mother and sister in tow while Youngbae and the rest took Jiyong to the other room.

 

“When did you guys plan all this out? Weren’t we all together most of the time? How come I didn’t know you were preparing something like this?” Taeyeon inquired to the girls who were assisting her

 

“We we’re actually planning this along with Jiyeon’s party. Do you know that you were actually the one who picked the theme, the wedding dress, and the cake?” Sunny revealed

 

“Eh???! How? I don’t even remember looking at any dresses or cakes?”” she asked surprised

 

“You did unnie! Don’t you remember the magazine that Fany unnie showed you while we were resting? The wedding magazines?” Seohyun reminded her

 

“Oh the one where we picked what we wanted for our weddings? But didn’t I not choose one because I said that I was already married?” Taeyeon replied remembering that day in their practice room

 

“Ani you picked one unnie. You said you would have wanted that BUT you couldn’t since you were already married” Yuri clarified as she fixed Taeyeon’s petticoat

 

“So that’s for the theme… but what about the dress and the cake?” Taeng asked again

 

“The cake was on me. Remember when I took you with me to a mall and we went to the cake shop for Jiyeon’s cake wearing our craziest disguise?” Sooyoung asked proud of having a part in their preparation

 

“You mean that time when we wore those silly I LOVE BIG BANG coveralls and blond wigs? Because….um… oh yeah Daesung was having a fan meet for his endorsement” she chuckled remembering their crazy looks that day

 

“Yes and the owner even showed us pictures of their best cake designs. One of which is the cake you have today. You know the one where you liked and said that it would have been better if the cake was plain white with purple flowers instead of blue or pink like in the picture” Sooyoung finished

 

“Oh but I think me choosing the dress would be impossible because now I’m really sure that we had no chance of looking through one nor had anyone of you shown me anything resembling one.” She asked as the girls all turned to look at Jessica since she was the one who told them which gown Taeyeon liked

 

“…. remember when we were younger? When we were still new… you joined We Got Married and had a wedding scene with Hyung Don oppa. You told me then what dress you would have liked when you get married for real” Jessica replied as she arranged Taeyeon’s veil 

 

“You still remembered? But that was years ago….” Taeyeon looked at her friend who was busy with her own dress

 

“Of course… you’re my friend and my sister. I should remember something like that” Jessica replied meeting Taeyeon’s eyes in the mirror and sending her a sincere smile to which Taeyeon mouthed her a silent thank you

 

 

“Everybody ready? Then let’s move to the bride’s receiving room for private reception before the wedding starts” Tiffany called after they have finished dressing up

 

 

Bride’s Waiting Room

 

While waiting inside the bride’s room alone, Taeyeon marveled at how much effort everyone, especially Jiyong, did for this wedding to happen… Am I really so dense that I didn’t feel that something like this was being planned under my nose? Ugh after this I’m gonna make that man tell me how they did it she thought to herself before wondering out loud “I wonder how he got my parents in on his plan for today?”

 

“About that, we can answer that for you” Taeyeon’s mother answered her thoughts as she came in with the rest of their family

 

“Eomma! Appa!” she called as they entered

 

“You look beautiful Taeyeon-ah. Your husband should know how lucky he is that he gets to marry someone like you TWICE” her father said looking at her with admiration

 

“Haha thank you appa. And don’t worry I’ll let him know that you said so. But you know appa, I think that I’m the luckier one to be able to marry Jiyong oppa. You know how I am. I’m stubborn, I’m childish, and I’m – as you all said, I’m dense when it comes to what’s happening around me. But he put up with me appa and he makes me happy” she told her father as they sat down around her while the photographer took photos around them

 

“We can see that unnie. It’s a miracle that he stayed with you for so long actually, especially when you act even younger than me!” Haeyeon big sister

 

“Yah!” Taeyeon bellowed as she tried to knock on her sister’s head but missed because she jumped up from the couch and ran to the other side of the room

 

*mehrong* Haeyeon stuck her tongue out at her sister before running outside “I’m gonna go to your husband’s room and tell him how much of a kid you are!!!” she called out from the door laughing loudly before running out

 

“Aigoo. Don’t worry about your sister Taeng, I’m sure your husband already knows even if she doesn’t tell him” Taeyeon’s mother told her

 

“Eomma~~~” Taeyeon whined

 

 

“Haha…. I still can’t believe our Taeyeon has grown up already…. Yeon-ah always take care of your husband, understand each other’s differences and always spend time together. I know that the path you chose is hard, always hiding and always on the lookout for anyone who can destroy this little bubble of a world you built with each other, but you don’t have to make it sad and lonely. Be happy, always hav time for each other despite your busy schedules and never ever let a fight go unsolved, be it petty fights or just plain annoyance, the little things are what mars a long lasting relationship Taeyeon-ah. Also, you must make sure to have time for your children, with Jiyeon and with any addition to your family in the future as well, even with your busy schedules you must make sure that you at least be there when they wake up and when they go to sleep, children go up so fast Yeon-ah, if you don’t spend time with them as kids you would be surprised one day to see them all grown up... arraseo? Manage your time well with your career and your family…. We weren’t by your side on your teenage years because you chose a path that takes you far from us, so I may not be the right one to say these things like spending time together, but as your mother, I hope you will still heed my advice because that’s all I can ever give you” Taeyeon’s mother said as she hugged her daughter

 

“Eomma you’re making me cry!!” Taeyeon whined again as she wiped her mother’s tears “Of course you have every right to give me advices and such! You are my mother. It was my choice to go so you didn’t have any shortcomings as parents. You still let me run after my dream despite knowing that you would be sad to let your daughter leave. And I thank you for everything that you have given me, without you I wouldn’t be where I am now. And if you hadn’t let me be a singer that time then I wouldn’t have met Jiyong oppa and we wouldn’t have Jiyeon with us as well. So everything I have right now is because of you guys. I will always love you both, and you too Haeyeon ah and oppa. I will be getting married but that doesn’t mean that you will lose a daughter and a sister, it means that you would gain another son and brother…” she told them as they enveloped her in a big hug

 

“Stop those tears now you two or your friend Jessica would scold us for ruining your make-up again” Taeyeon’s father chuckled to lighten the mood as they said their goodbyes to make time for the other guests who wanted to see the bride as well

 

“Bye.. see you guys later!” she called waving at them from her seat as she fanned her eyes and face to stop her tears

 

 

 

 

“Hello? Can we come in?” a voice that Teeyeon couldn’t recognize called from outside the door when her family left

 

“Ah neh! Come in!” she called back

 

“Omo, you’re so pretty Kim Taeyeon-ssi” Jiyong’s elder sister admired as she and her parents came into the room

 

“Oh um. Please call me Taeyeon. And welcome. I’m sorry I couldn’t greet all of you earlier. I was taken by surprise about all this so I wasn’t able to pay my respects…um… Annyeonghaseyo Mother-in-law, father-in-law, and Sister-in-law. My name is Kim Taeyeon. And I’m your son’s …um…wife…” she greeted awkwardly since she didn’t know how to introduce herself to her in-laws

 

“You don’t have to be so polite Taeyeon-ah. You can call me eomma. And please treat me as your own mother as well. I must thank you for loving my son and for making him happy. Has he told you how much we wanted him to get married?” Jiyong’s eomma warmly told her

 

“You can call me appa too. I think this is the time for us to apologize for any shortcomings that our son will have. And we hope that you would lengthen your patience with our son. I too, would like to thank you for making our son happy and for giving us a grandchild. Jiyeon is a very smart and bright girl” Jiyong’s appa chuckled remembering how talkative the little girl was when they met her outside

 

“Oh and Taeyeon, my brother can be very annoying and crazy, but he’s really loyal and trustworthy. And when he falls for a girl, he won’t look at anybody else. Weird that I’m telling you this right? But that’s my brother, mature and childish at the same time. But I think you two are a great match for each other. But this is just between us….make sure you get to order him around the house okay, Jiyong gets lazy whenever he’s comfortable at home and would tend to sleep in instead of help with the chores” Dami, Jiyong’s elder sister whispered her last advice so that her parents wouldn’t hear

 

“Haha unnie, I think Jiyeon orders him around enough for the both of us” she whispered back, earning a grin from the older girl

 

“We’ll leave you now Taeyeon-ah. remember to take Jiyeon to visit our house from time to time okay? We will see you outside.” Jiyong’s eomma hugged her again before they left the room

 

 

 

 

“Unnie!!” Seohyun shouted as she led the 7 other girls into the room as soon as Jiyong’s family went out

 

“Wow you look amazing Taeng! Good choice on the dress!” Sunny greeted as half of the girls weren’t present when she changed into it

 

“You know, I never thought that you would be the first one to get married. I thought Sooyoungie or I would get married first” Hyoyeon said as they positioned themselves for the commemorative photo

 

“Me too, I never took you for the family type Taeng, you always tended to be the loner among us. Even when you were dating your previous boyfriends you still preferred to spend time by yourself. Who would have thought huh?” Yuri asked addressing the other girls as well

 

“Haha. I know right” Taeyeon agreed

 

“Ahhh the Ajhumma finally gets her own Ajhussi!!” Yoona cried making the others laugh

 

“Hey I had an idea for the reception later. Why don’t we have a reunion dance? It’s been a long time since we danced as 9 right? What do you say? We can give it as a surprise to our friends” Tiffany asked excitedly to which the others immediately agreed and praised her for her great idea

 

“What song unnie? I can call Seunghyun oppa to help me get some outfits ready” Seohyun asked

 

“Your Seunghyun or my Seunghyun?” Tiffany asked not letting go of the chance to tease their maknae

 

“MY Seunghyun oppa of cour- eiii.. unnies~~” she broke off noticing her grinning unnies and feeling embarrassed when she realized that she just declared Seungri as hers

 

“Mianhe mianhe, we just can’t believe that our precious maknae is all grown up as well. As for the song how about “Gee”? It was one of the songs that helped us reach where we are now” Tiffany apologized before giving her suggestion

 

“Ani. How about “I Got A Boy”? Taengoo is finally getting her boy” Sunny added with a smirk

 

“That’s too tiring for a wedding reception!” Jessica rebuked

 

“Then you give a suggestion then!” Sunny bit back

 

“Um…hey how about “Into The New World?” Yoona interjected before the others got heated up

 

“ITNW? Wae? We still weren’t that much popular then” Sooyoung asked while munching on some snacks set aside for the bride and her guests who wanted some light refreshments

 

“That’s just it. Remember how hard we worked for that song. It was our first and, I don’t know about you, but for me it is still the most memorable and most precious song for me because that song is where we started” Yoona answered

 

“Hmm.. and I also think that the title is apt because Taeng IS venturing into a new world, although venturing is a bit too much since the’ve already been together for some time, but still, you know what I mean” Yuri agreed

 

“So everyone agrees? Then, Into The New World it is. Hyunnie you and YOUR Seunghyun oppa can get us some skirts and blouses. It doesn’t have to be the same design as our real ones but make sure they’re white to still match the concept” Jessica ordered

 

“We’ll leave you to receive the next guests Tae Tae, you’ll be surprised when you meet them” Tiffany declared as she and the others got up after giving Taeyeon a hug

 

“Bye unnie, see you inside!” Seohyun waved before she followed her other unnies out

 

“Wait! Who’s coming?! FAny-ah! Fany!” Taeyeon tried to call but the girl just went ahead

 

 

 

-knock- -knock-

 

 

“Co-come in!” Taeyeon called apprehensively, nervous as to who her next guests are but was surprised to see lots of guys enter, all holding a bouquet of different flowers to hide their faces. She was so surprised that she thought it was another event from her husband

 

 

Then as one the guys all bowed down and shouted as they stood straight, surprising her

 

 

“WE ARE SUPER JUNIOR!!”

 

 

“Oppas!!!!! Why-how are you here oppas??!!” she shouted back at them standing up from her seat in surprise

 

“you can thank your crazy husband on the other room for that.” Leeteuk answered her

 

“Jiyong-oppa? He talked to you? All of you?” she asked them surprised

 

“Yes, crazy right? And he didn’t even think of talking to us separately, instead he talked to us as a group... We will have to apologize for roughing him up a little, although even you should know he deserved some of that” Heechul told her as he got himself comfortable on the couch next to Taeyeon

 

“What?! Then those bruises were from you? Oppa!!” she pouted, furious that her oppas were the ones who hit her husband

 

“Wae? He was asking for it! Ow ow ow!” Heechul cried out as Taeyeon started hitting them, him the most because he was the closest

 

“He told me he just played basketball roughly with the other guys form YG! Aish oppas, next time you do that, I won’t talk to you anymore!!” she madly stated

 

“Aigoo…smile Taengoo. You’re getting married today! If you keep on frowning, your face would get wrinkles!!” Siwon quickly said to divert Taeyeon’s attention from getting mad at the other guys

 

“Siwon oppa you’re just distracting me!! Did you hit Jiyong oppa as well?” she asked refusing to be distracted

 

“Ye-yeah” he gulped

 

“ugh..” she angrily stomped turning her back to them. ”I won’t talk to all of you until I hear you apologize to my husband!” 

 

Then suddenly, as one, the boys lined up in front of her and sand their signature song “Sorry Sorry”

 

“Mianhe Taengoo!!! Oppa’s are sorry. Will you forgive us? Pretty please~~” they all asked acting cute until Taeyeon couldn’t help but laugh at their silly antics

 

“Hahahaha fine fine. It’s fine already oppas! Stop it! Hahahaha” she asked wiping the tears of joy in her eyes

 

“See now your laughing. Are you still mad at us?” Kangin asked her still acting cutely

 

“Ani! No more oppa! Go out!Out! Other guests might want to come in too! Hahaha go!” she pleaded as they too laughed giving her hugs before leaving

 

“Bye Taengoo. Oh and I still can’t believe you got married before me! Now the others would continue teasing me of being an Ajhussi! And remember if that guy on the other room makes you cry, tell him that you have lots of older brothers who are ready to beat him up!” he called back before running off to catch up with the other guys

 

 

Groom’s Waiting Room

 

Inside the groom’s room Jiyong was fidgeting. He saw through the door that Taeyeon’s parents had entered her room. He wanted to be the first one to see his wife in her wedding dress but was told off by Jessica and Tiffany for trying to sneak in earlier telling him to stay put and wait for her at the altar later Aish those girls…. If it weren’t for them then I could have already seen my beautiful wife. I guess a picture of her would make do…. He thought as he looked through the photo gallery of his phone seeing the pictures they took at home and at Jiyeon’s party earlier

 

“Aigoo… I really have a very lovely wife….yeoppuda..” he said out loud

 

“Yah! You look like a love sick fool grinning like that and talking to yourself. Has being married to Taeyon-ssi make you go crazy? Should I tell her to take back her “Yes” because my little brother has a few screws loose?” Dami, his older sister greeted as she and their parents came in to the room

 

“Noona! Eomma appa!” he called scrambling out of his seat as they came in

 

“Sit down, sit down Yong. We just came in for the commemorative photos” Jiyong’s father told him as they sat themselves around him

 

“Oh.. have you seen Taeyeon yet?” he asked them as they posed for the pictures

 

“Not yet. We’ll see her after this” his sister replied

 

“Jiyong-ah. take care of your wife arrasseo? Don’t make her sad and don’t make her cry. Never stop telling her how much you love her and always compliment her, women love hearing their loved ones praise them. Right eomma?” his father asked turning to his mother

 

“Of course dear, there are no women in this world who don’t want to receive a little praise. Jiyong-ah remember to always appreciate your wife and be grateful for what she does for you. When the time comes that she bears your child, always be there for her and give her all the support you can. When you have arguments, even if your wife is at fault be mature enough and make up with her, don’t make your fights go for a long time. be loyal and don’t look at other women even if your wife is not watching okay? Cheating in your thoughts is the same as cheating in reality. Don’t break her trust and don’t let anything hurt your relationship because girls like Taeyeon are hard to come by.” she advised her son

 

“Yes eomma. I’ll promise to be loyal to my wife and I will always, always love her, even if you didn’t tell me too” he answered as he hugged his parents and his sister before waving goodbye

 

 

“Oh and Yong-ah! We love Jiyeon as a granddaughter but your appa and I are still waiting for grandsons okay? Don’t keep us waiting long!” his mother called from the door

 

“Eomma!! Shush!!!!” he shouted embarrassed in case someone outside heard her and from the giggles outside he was too late

 

 

“Annyeong oppa!!!” Haeyeon called as she rushed inside the room

 

“Haeyeon-ah! Are your parents here as well?” Jiyong asked as he stood up to fix his blazer

 

“Calm down oppa. It’s not like you haven’t met them yet. And your clothes would get all wrinkled if you keep on fixing it like that.” she scolded him

 

“Ah just so you know oppa, when the world finds out. I’m gonna make you greet me in one of your concerts and I’m going make those haters of my sister in my school regret it. Do you know lots of girls hate her because she got linked to you? How do you think they would react when they find out that it was true? It would be epic!” she laughed evilly helping herself to the refreshments set aside for Jiyong

 

“Then why don’t I just greet her instead of you then?” he teased

 

“Because I’m your fan oppa, and it would be a dream come true for me to be greeted by you on stage. And-AND besides they are MY CLASSMATES. What better way to get revenge than to have their idol greet the sister of their “nemesis”? “ she tried to convince him

 

“hahahaha okay deal. Since you did help me talk to your parents last time.” Jiyong laughed at his wife’s little sister

 

“What is this Haeyeon-ah? Are you already making deals with your brother-in-law?” Taeyeon’s mom asked as she led her husband and her eldest son inside Jiyong’s room

 

“Don’t bother your brother-in-law too much okay. He’s also busy with his career too. How are you Jiyong-ah? Big day today” Taeyeon’s father scolded his daughter as he pat Jiyong’s shoulder

 

“It’s nothing father-in-law. And I’m pretty tense- nervous actually. It’s funny because we’re already married but I’m still feeling like my whole body is made of jelly” Jiyong laughed nervously

 

“I also felt that way when I got married. Every man about to be married feel that way, it’s not just you. And I told you to call me appa“  he told Jiyeon as a way to  calm his nerves

 

“Ah yes..sorry. and thank you…Appa” Jiyong replied smiling timidly

 

“Now calm your nerves now son. You go out there and marry my daughter arraseo?” Taeyeon’s father ordered

 

“Understood Appa-sir!”  Jiyong saluted dorkily

 

“If I was asked, I think you two dorks would match very well” Haeyeon suggested

 

“Haeyeon-ah, that’s not the right way to describe you sister and your brother-in-law. Although that does look about right” Taeyeon’s mother commented as well making them all laugh

 

“Haha anyway. We have to go Jiyong-ah. See you inside son”

 

“Neh. Thank you for coming!” Jiyong respectfully bowed at his parents-in-law

 

 

 

 

“Oh?! You’re here!! Glad you could come!” Jiyong greeted as his 2NE1 donsaengs came in with their president

 

“Yah Jiyong oppa! How come we only found out about this a day before your wedding!!” CL shouted at the laughing Jiyong

 

“Yeah and we didn’t even know who your wife is until we saw SNSD girls and lots of SM idols outside. You YG’s great G-Dragon are marrying SM’s Kim Taeyeon. Daebak!!! ….wait you guys kept scaring away our suitors!!!! But we find out that all of you are dating the SNSD girls without telling us!!” Dara unbelievably said

 

“Haha. Don’t worry I also just found out a few days ago. Did you girls know I didn’t believe it at first. But here we are. I must say Jiyong, you are one sneaky dude. Getting yourself a SoShi for a bride while the whole world looks at them as goddesses and fairies” President Yang grinned at them

 

“But sajangnim, how come your allowing oppa to get married to her? Aren’t you scared of the backlash from his and her fans?” Bom asked curiously

 

“Jiyong is already old enough to think for himself and I don’t think Jiyong would let anything happen to his wife, right Ji?” President Yang replied beaming at Jiyong like a proud father

 

“Of course, I won’t let anyone touch my wife. If they find out, then I will personally explain to our fans and hers about our situation but I won’t apologize to them because we too are human, we too are allowed to love who we want and if they would still want us then we would continue to stand on the stage and share our talents to the world” he proclaimed

 

“Wow oppa. You’ve really become such a romantic. We’ll have to ask Taeyeon-ssi how she managed to tame a dragon like you. It’s just too good to be true oppa. haha” Dara said impressed by Taeyeon’s feat

 

“Yeah and what do they say about things that are too good to be true? If it’s too good to be true, then it probably is! Hahahaha” Bom teased laughing with Dara and President Yang

 

 

“Oh oppa, it’s almost time to start. We’ll leave you now” CL interrupted their teasing

 

“Chincha? Okay then I’ll see you inside. Thank you for coming” he said hugging them all before they left

The Bride’s Waiting Room

 

-knock- -knock- -knock-

 

Hmm..? I thought it was almost time to go in… who else is coming? Taeyeon thought before she opened the door to reveal her husband sneakily looking around before rushing inside with her

 

“Oppa? What are you doing here? I thought Sica and Fany told warned you not to come in?” she asked closing the door

 

“But I wanted to see you!” he whined making Taeyeon laugh

 

“Hahaha oppa, we were together earlier! It’s just a short while before we see each other again. Couldn’t you have waited inside? I even wanted you to be surprised about my dress since Jessica told me that you haven’t seen it yet. But you ruined the surprise! And here I was thinking that you would find me beautiful in this dress” she answered laughing at Jiyong

 

“You always look beautiful! Even if you wore rags or sacks you’ll still be beautiful Tae. And also I couldn’t wait anymore. Did you know that I’ve already tried sneaking in here twice but your scary friends shooed me away. I repeat Your Friends Are Scary when they’re serious” he shuddered

 

“Hey, my friend’s aren’t scary… sometimes… haha kidding. Honestly Ji oppa. They aren’t scary, they’re just…um… protective?” Taeyeon defended

 

“Overly protective maybe.” He replied

 

“Nope they’re just protective, YOU are the one who’s overly protective. How could you warn the boys in Jiyeon’s class not to go near her?” she asked

 

“She’s too young to play with boys!!” he raised

 

“They’re just playing oppa! And our daughter is three!! She’s too young to know about such things. Loosen up okay” she asked but her husband just pouted

 

“No. I won’t let any boy near our daughter till she’s thirty! Then maybe I’ll think about letting her have a boyfriend...” he haughtily said

 

Aigoo… thank goodness Jiyeon didn’t tell him about Daejoon or else she really won’t have any friends who are boys… I have to make sure to be the one to take her to and fro from school

 

“If you do that oppa then we’ll be old before we have grandchildren!! Aish. Why are we even talking about this right now? It’s our wedding and our daughter just turned three. I won’t let your childishness ruin my day” she huffed

 

“Okay fine. We’ll talk about this later… how about we take a selca before your friends come back. It’s almost time for our wedding!” jiyong suggested as he brought out his phone

 

“Great idea oppa. Ppali!!” she agreed standing next to him with difficulty because of her dress

 

 

Yah Oppa!! I told you you’re not allowed in here!!!

 

Someone shouted from the door making the both of them turn to look

 

“Je-jessica… um… annyeong!” he greeted backing away from the door and pulling Taeyeon in front of him

 

“Err.. Sica-ah annyeong?” Taeyeon greeted as well at the glaring Jessica

 

“Seriously you too. Aish. You already got married before you got your parent’s blessing and now you even disobey wedding traditions?! Yah oppa! You just had to wait for a few minutes more!!” she shouted dashing inside and grabbing Jiyong by his coat “OUT! Out you go!! Ppali!!” she ordered dragging him with her. “And you Kim Taeyeon don’t you dare laugh there, I told you not to let your husband in! The groom is not allowed to see the bride before the wedding!” Jessica scolded

 

“But-but we’re already married Sica. This is just for formality. Fany-ah help us please” Taeyeon pleaded to Tiffany who came in after hearing Jessica’s loud voice

 

“Sorry Taeng, I’m with Sica on this” Tiffany apologized before laughing at the pouting Jiyong “Aigoo oppa. The ceremony is starting, why don’t you just run off now and wait at the altar, we’ll make sure that your wife gets there as well”

 

“Yeah, now shoo oppa! Shoo!” Jessica ordered him letting him go by mistake

 

“Yeon-ah~~~~” he wailed running to Taeyeon to hug her

 

“Hahaha Oppa!! Just go oppa. I’ll see you inside. The other guests must be waiting as well wondering what’s keeping us here” Taeyeon told her husband who was childishly hugging her

 

“Hmfph Fine.” He said letting go and sneaking a kiss a Taeyeon before running out “I’ll wait for you at the altar!!” he called back

 

“Hahaha arraseo. I’ll be the one in white!!” she called back laughing at his silliness

 

“Aigoo… you lovebirds sure hit it hard… tsk tsk... anyway it really IS time for your wedding so we brought the make-up artist for some retouches” Tiffany said as they pulled Taeyeon to sit on the couch to repair any smears in her make-up

 

“This is it Tae. You’re finally, and I don’t mean the one at the city hall, but you’re finally getting married to your beloved. I wish you all the happiness Taeng. Both of you deserve to be happy. And Jiyeon as well deserves to know her whole family, adopted or not.” Jessica thoughtfully said tearing up a little

 

“Yah aren’t you our ice princess? Why are you crying? See you’re making me cry as well!” Taeyeon said laughing as she quickly wiped away her tears

 

“Pabo-yah. Weddings are always tear jerking you know, not just yours haha“ Jessica chastised  as she too laughed, wiping her tears

 

“Oy you two crybabies let’s go. Ppali everyone is waiting” Tiffany called to them

 

“Ah yes haha.” Both of them said laughing at themselves as they went out to go to the hall entrance

 

“Tae we’ll go on ahead wait here for the signal before you enter arraseo. No cold feet okay? We promised your husband we’ll make sure you come in” Jessica teased to loosen Taeyeon’s tenseness

 

“Yah Jessica you’re not helping! I’m already nervous as it is…” Taeyeon shouted making her friends laugh at her

 

“Silly. You’re already married. Why do you need to be nervous about? Just breath Tae. It’ll be over before you know it. We’ll see you inside!” Fany laughed as she and Jessica hugged Taeyeon

 

 

 

******************************************************************************

 

 

 Deep breaths Taeyeon. This is it. You’re finally getting married. Aish that man there wasn’t even time for us to practice for the wedding, what if I mess up or slip on my clothes? Aish... calm down Kim Taeyeon... breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. Jiyong is waiting inside Taeng, everyone is waitng... Breathe……. Taeyeon thought as she calmed herself from the panic of being alone outside the hall

 

…..then the doors opened and music filled out into the hall signaling Taeyeon to step inside…..

 

Slowly she walked inside, taking in the scene as the guests rose up…. A smile breaking from her lips as she saw Jiyong grinning and waving like a little kid at the front.

 

 

“Oppa you’re supposed to wait for me at the altar!” she scolded when he ran over and took her hand in his

 

“But you’re walking to slow~~and also, I wanted to walk next to you in case who run off and leave me on the altar” he whined making the guests who heard him chuckle at his childishness

 

“Are you crazy? I’m marrying my long time crush and you’re saying I’d leave? Am I stupid or something?” she blatantly asked Jiyong making him grin widely at his answer

 

“Let’s keep walking then. The priest is waiting” he happily said, practically running to the center as he half-dragged, half-skipped with the amused Taeyeon in tow

 

 

 

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of two souls, Kwon Jiyong and Kim Taeyeon…..” The priest said, starting the ceremony

 

The guests could see how happy and how in love the couple were from their silent giggles and their stolen glances. The girls of SNSD were cringing a little from their sweetness while the boys of Big Bang while sniggering at Jiyong’s brazenness of showing his affection

 

 

***************************************************************************

 

 

“Aunt Jessi water” Jiyeon whispered to her aunt who was sitting beside her so they sneaked out of the hall to the refreshment table that the resort had prepared

 

 

“Jiyeon-ah, you’re appa and eomma are finally getting their wedding ceremony and you had finally met your grandparents. Are you happy?” Jessica asked he little girl

 

“Neh, appa said that Jiho won’t come because appa and eomma’s parents did not bless them yet. Will Jiho come now aunty? I want to be a big sister” the little girl innocently answered

 

“Umm…ah…. oh yeah I wanted to ask, why do you want a little brother so much? Don’t you like being your parent’s only baby?” Jessica inquired, changing the subject quickly

 

“I do, but I still want someone to play with when they are both busy. And cause the other kids at school have donsaeng’s except me, some even had twins! they look the same aunty like a mirror. So I asked appa but he said I should ask eomma instead, but then appa got scolded by eomma…. was it bad for Jiyeon to ask for a donsaeng?” Jiyeon sadly asked Jessica

 

“Aniyo. Don’t worry, you’re eomma didn’t scold him because of that, it’s just because of your appa’s childishness…. Listen Jiyeon-ah, Jiho will come in his own time. it may take long or you may only have to wait for a while, but make sure to be patient in waiting arraseo. And when he finally comes you be sure to be a good noona alright” Jessica said to cheer up her sad niece

 

“Of course aunty!! I’ll even babysit when appa and eomma needs to work!” she proudly replied

 

“Let’s go back in okay, your other aunts might be looking for us already” Jessica told Jiyeon but the little girl didn’t budge

 

“Um…. can we stay out here for a while? It’s shtuffy inside and it’s making me sleepy” she shyly asked

 

Aigoo…it’s cause she speaks so well already that I always forget how young Jiyeon is. Of course a three-year-old kid will feel bored at this kinds of ceremonies “I understand Jiyeonnie, but not for too long okay?” Jessica conceded

 

 

 

“Jessica? Is everything alright?? I saw you and Jiyeon getting out but you still haven’t returned” Youngbae asked coming out of the hall after them

 

“Oh ah yes. Jiyeon just got thirsty so we came out….” an awkward silence followed her answer because it’s been a while since they had time for themselves, not counting the fact that they at the party earlier because there was nowhere private for them to talk

 

 

“Um...I missed y……”   “I missed yo……” they both said the same time

 

“You go fir…”   “Go on ah…” they once again chorused before chuckling

 

“Yah I feel like we’re in some chick flick movie or something. Hahahe oppa you go ahead” she remarked

 

“Um... I just wanted to say I missed you Jess…. And I wanted to apologize, I asked you for another chance but I still haven’t had the chance to take you out on a real date without hurrying or without hiding…. I kinda envy Ji and Taeyeon actually… they get to go home together and they get to spend time together everyday whereas I only get to see you when we don’t have schedules and if you’re here in Korea, which is seldom” Youngbae opened sadly as he held her close

 

“Oh oppa… you don’ have to worry, our quick dates and fleeting moments together are enough for me. As long as I’m with you, I won’t need those big bouquets or those silly huge teddy bears. And oppa, I missed you too. Oh also, don’t envy those two chodings getting married inside, I’ll beat you up if you ever get that cheesy” she pretended to shudder while hugging him tightly

 

“Hahaha didn’t you like the romantic Youngbae back then? I thought you did” he laughed

 

“That was before. Now I like you for spending time with me even though we both have busy schedules and you could have used that time to rest”  

 

“I’ll always have time for you Jess” he said kissing her

 

“Oppa… Jiyeon is looking!” she scolded him breaking their kiss with both cheeks blushing red

 

“No she’s not. Look she covered her eyes” Youngbae answered

 

“Yeah she is!” Jessica insisted

 

“No Aunt Jessi, Jiyeon not see anything!” the little girl shouted acting innocent but peeking between her fingers making Yooungbae laugh

 

 

**************************************************************************************

 

 

“Where were you Jess? You missed most of the ceremony!” Tiffany hissed as soon as Jessica and Jiyeon sat back down

 

“Mianhe…. Um… something just came up…” she said blushing while Jiyeon was giggling beside her

 

"Shush now you two..." Tiffany hushed

 

 

“On one of our nightly talks, Jiyong and I actually agreed that we won’t give personal vows on our marriage when it actually happens, we would stick to the traditional ones but I just wanted to share somethings. Sorry if it’s not much because this husband of mine didn’t allow me some time to prepare and, as you all probably know, I only found out about this wedding earlier” Taeyeon giggled

 

“So Allow me to share something I read from a book entitled: “When I tell you “I Love You” it means forever” by Deanne Laura Gilbert” she said on the microphone

 

“I Love You”

Means that I accept you for the person that you are and that I don’t wish to change you into someone else.

 

“I Love You”

Means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times.

 

“I Love You”

Means that I am thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping you feel the same way for me.

 

“I Love You”

Means forever.

 

 

“I won’ try to change you oppa.  Whatever the people around me say, I will always love you and I will always be by your side, because who you are is what made me love you even more…. We’re two different people, with different lifestyle’s, different lives, different personalities, matched together by an unlikely circumstance…. the path we chose is not easy oppa, it’ll be full of ups and downs along the way, but we’ll be together, and that’s what matters most…” Taeyeon broke off taking deep breaths

 

“Oppa… remember when we first talked about getting married? When Sica and Seohyun gave us this “crazy” idea? I told you back then to think about it first before you marry me because I told you that once you’re tied to me, don’t even think of getting out... So always remember this whenever you hear me say I love you, because I promise you oppa, I’ll always love you no matter what… Oh and speaking of getting out – don’t even think about it. I’ll tie you to our house if you ever think of leaving me and Jiyeonnie” Taeyeon added making everyone laugh as she seriously threatened her husband with a smile, talk about an evil grin

 

“Hahaha I’ll even help you tie me up if that means I can keep you be my side” Jiyong answered laughing as well

 

 

“My turn now then…” he said taking the mic “this is from something I’ve read in the internet. This one, I think, perfectly summarizes what I want to tell you myself. Mianhe though, you know I have no originality when it comes to these things” he apologized to his wife

 

“I love you” by Susan Polis Schutz

 

Things are not always perfect between us

but anything worth anything has flows in it.

 

No one is perfect

therefore, no relationship can be perfect.

 

I am writing this so you don’t get discouraged or disillusioned with us when thing go astray

 because I love you and appreciate you so much.

 

As we continue to grow and change as individuals

our relationship will continue to grow and change as well.

 

But since at the core of our relationship there is a very deep respect and love for one another,

 our love can only grow stronger and more beautiful every day.

 

“I am not perfect Tae, everyone knows you are too good for me. But I promise to love you as best as I can and that I will care for you and only think of you for the rest of our lives. 11 years ago, I saw an angel with the most beautiful voice, she had the whitest skin and albeit she really does laugh like an ajhumma. But she still had the most beautiful laugh for me. I seldom saw her and only kept tabs through the internet, yeah you can even call me a stalker. But look after 11 years, I guess my unrequited love finally paid off. I am finally – finally marrying that angel that I thought I could never reach. Taeyeon-ah, my angel, thank you for giving me the chance to be your husband. I love you very very much.” Jiyong ended his speech by kissing Taeyeon’s hands, letting tears of joy and happiness flow freely from his eyes

 

“Yah don’t cry oppa. Look everyone will find out that you’re a crybaby!” Taeyeon teased while wiping her husband’s face

 

“Pabo-yah, you’re also crying! Sorry for the drama!!” he chastised his wife and bowed apologetically to their guests after hearing snickers from them especially from his friends

 

 

 

“Now Let us continue, it’ time for the exchange of rings. Taeyeon-ssi, Jiyong-ssi please repeat after me. Taeyeon-ssi goes first” the priests said after they both finished their spiel as Youngbae’s nephew came closer with the rings

 

“I, state your name, take you, please state your partner’s name, as my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health. With this ring, I promise to wake up next to you every morning, to always be on your side, through the good and the bad, to love you with everything I have, till death do us part” the priests stated while Taeyeon followed

 

 

“I, Kim Taeyeon, take you, Kwon Jiyong, as my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health. With this ring, I promise to wake up next to you every morning, to always be on your side, through the good and the bad to love you with everything I have, till death do us part” she repeated as she fit Jiyong’s ring on his finger

 

“Now Jiyong-ssi if you please.” The priest said now giving him Taeyeon’s ring. “Repeat after me. I, state your name, take you, please state your partner’s name, as my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health. With this ring, I promise to wake up next to you every morning, to always be on your side, through the good and the bad, to love you with everything I have, till death do us part”

 

“I, Kwon Jiyong, take you, Kim Taeyeon, as my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health. With this ring, I promise to wake up next to you every morning, to always be on your side, through the good and the bad, to love you with everything I have, till death do us part” Jiyong repeated while he held Taeyeon’s hand in his and slipped in her wedding ring next to the wedding band that they used before.

 

 

 

“With the power vested in me. I now pronounce you…. husband and wife…. you may kiss the bride…” but before he can even finish Jiyong had already pulled Taeyeon close and lifted her veil…

 

 

 

 

 

“To forever Tae?” he asked her moving closer

 

 

 

“To forever…..” she answered with a smile before Jiyong closed the gap between them and kissed her long enough to earn hoots and cheers from the crowd.

A/N:

 

Thank you to all who have watched and supported this fic!!!! Sorry if you wanted more, it’s just that I felt that this was a good time to end it. Thank you for subscribing for upvoting, for commenting, and of course, for reading this fantasy of mine that GTae may someday be together. I had wanted to put some drama in it and was actually planning to delay D-Day but I thought that Jiyeonnie had already experienced enough sadness in her lifetime so I chose not to. And also sorry if the wedding was cut in the middle... I don’t usually go to weddings so I’m not too familiar with the process and also I didn’t know what the process for weddings in Korea are, maybe after this you can imagine that they had the second part as the Korean traditional weddings with hanboks and such.

 

But again thank you very very much. Saranghae!!!!! All hail GTAE Shippers!! All hail Royalist Dreamers!!!!!! All hail whatever fanclubs there are in support of GTAE!!!!
