Nine days before Yuri and Jongwoon wedding.

One more day before their anniversary.

And Joohyun did not speak to Kyuhyun.

There was never a wedding planning that was as gloomy as this one.

“Joo...”

Yuri pulled Joohyun to the closet.

“Unnie....”

“Sttt..... Speak low. I need to hide from Umma, she’s getting me crazy!”

Joohyun nodded. Indeed. Their Umma’s acts had been taking all of people’s nerves. And on the emotional stage that she had now, she certainly did not need more pressure.

Then Yuri slouched on the spacey closet.

“I never thought that getting married would be this chaotic.”

Yuri kissed her hair softly. “OH, Baby. There is no easy way on loving someone. Especially when you love them so much.  But maybe you just need sometimes to calm yourself down. But please, don’t run of this love. I see how he looks at you all the time. Guys always being stupid when they are in love.”
