I like it, it was love at first sight
I keep thinking about you

(Red Flavor - Red Velvet)

"Okay. Seriously." Byul huffed as she approached the girls after the director took the final shots for the bride and her bridesmaids and with a hushed tone she asked her members, "Aren't you girls even a bit curious why the director only has me in a wedding dress while the three of you wore bridesmaids' dresses?"

Yongsun looked at Wheein and Hyejin then turned to shake her head along with the two. "Not really?"

Byul raised a brow. "That's more of a question rather than an answer." She rolled her eyes at her and then turned to the maknaes.

"Well, KDH PD-nim did say that Seokcheon oppa begged for you to be his main muse so..." Wheein playfully extended the word. "It's not really a surprise for us. Besides, have you seen yourself in the mirror?"

Hyejin scoffed in agreement. "You look like one hot momma!"

Byul blushed but the compliments didn't sway her at all. "Yah. I'm serious here!"

"And so are we." Yongsun said. "Wheein's right. We're not even that surprised if oppa wants you to be the center of the photoshoot."

"Excuse me, my darlings!" Seokcheon's shrilly voice interrupted whatever Byul had left to say. "I'm sorry, my darlings."

"What is it, oppa?" Hyejin asked looking genuinely concerned.

"Well, you see. I know you're all exhausted from the last shoot but would you mind doing the poses again?" He asked cautiously.

"Uh... Sure." Yongsun answered.

"Why? What happened?" Byul followed up with the question and Wheein had to literally swallow hard to stop herself from laughing.

The reason as to why the pup had to prevent herself from laughing was because she had predicted earlier that Byul would be asking those exact questions.

"Don't get me wrong, you ladies look absolutely stunning together in the picture, it's just... it's really missing the element of the maid-of-honor." Seokcheon grimaced.

"O-oh. Seu- Yongsun unnie could easily be my maid-of-honor if you want to retake the shots." Byul said volunteering their oldest member. "I mean, if she needs to change to a different dress..."

"Oh! No! No! No! My muse! It's just, I already have someone in mind and I called her in as a favor." Seokcheon exclaimed in delight then turned to Yongsun. "I hope I didn't offend you or anything, my beauty?"

Seeing as they were okay with the reshoot, the man gave them time to rest while they waited for the person Seokcheon asked for. The wait wasn't as long as Byul had expected as she found out that Seokcheon already made the call minutes after they had just started taking the last shots.

"My darlings!" Seokcheon called out for them in a sing-song manner as he burst inside the room pulling along her new captive. "I'd like you to meet your new member for the day, Red Velvet's Bear Seulgi!"

"SEUL?!" Byul reacted so loudly that she didn't even know if she heard the three others react the way she did. "Seulgi-ah."

"Unnie!" The girl squealed and ran to her greeting her with a hug before pulling out and holding Byul at arms length. "Woah! You look... Woah! I wish I was your husband, right now."

That comment alone made Byul laugh and blush and very much distracted as the girls and their conspirator of a photographer wanted. Seokcheon then intervened and then asked them to get to the set for the reshooting.

Unlike earlier where they took about half an hour to finish the shots, the reshooting took them ten minutes less to finish up. And as soon as they were done with that part of the wedding photoshoot, Byul was dragged away from her members as the bridesmaids were told to be having their own shoots while she is to be retouched for her upcoming shoot with her supposed groom.

So far, the excitement of having to work with her secret younger half sister elated her so much that the idea of having to shoot with an unknown man who's supposed to be playing the role of her groom on this shoot didn't faze her at all. In fact, the thought didn't even cross her mind as she remembered how beautiful her little sister looked in that navy blue haltered dress and how it felt so real having a solo shot with her being her maid in honor for the shoot.

When the photographer finally called her in, she still had that smile etched on her face before it got replaced with shock seeing her husband standing infront of her dressed as her groom. "Ahjussi?"

"Five dinners and two breakfast! HA!" Wheein gloated right at Hyejin's face after winning for the second time, betting with Hyejin.

Like earlier, the four of them; Yongsun, Wheein, Hyejin and Seulgi, are hiding somewhere where they could watch the scene unfold as Byul arrived to find her husband standing infront of her.

"Oh! I hope Seokcheon oppa's took shots of this!" Seulgi gushed her excitement quietly.

"Yeah. A candid picture would be a great addition to their album." Wheein agreed while the other girl smiled with an evil glint. "Nope. It'll be a great blackmail weapon if she ever thinks about teasing me again."

"Ohh! I like the way you think!" Yongsun enthusiastically agreed giving her a high-five.

"Shh! Keep it down!" Hyejin chastised, as the girls were getting noisy and the louder they got the easier they would've been busted.

"H-hi." Kyujong managed to blurt out, finally recovering from the surprise of seeing how breathe taking his wife looked the second she stepped foot in the room. "You look... Wow! I can't even..."

"Shut up." Byul muttered blushing, which she seemed to have been doing the whole day as she giggled and ran towards her husband, jumping into his arms.

The sight of her wearing heels and running frightened him as she could've easily revered to her clumsy self which in turn, would've hurt her and the baby. "Y-yah! You're wearing heels!" He half yelled rushing towards her and taking her in his arms. "Baby, don't scare me like that!" He pleaded and Byul nodded giving him a peck.

"Sorry?" She said giving him that puppy dog eyes and he melted instantly. He knew how well wrapped he was around her fingers.

She could be so cute when she wants too. He thought and chuckled giving her a nod followed by a peck. "Hi." He greeted and she giggled.

"Hi, to you too."

After a brief get moment in their own world the two behaved as professional as they can to finish up with the photoshoot and though they'd slip and be playful at one another, the director didn't complain as he continued taking shots after shots. 

"Now, give me a kiss and then you'll have a break!" Seokcheon ordered. "And I don't want no ninny tiny kiss! I want a good hot loving kiss!"

"Seokcheon oppa!" Cried out Byul while Kyujong chuckled watching his wife blush.

With a plan of his own, he signaled the photographer/director to keep on going and then he cupped his wife's face gently with his hands before dipping down and pressing his lips on hers. She gasped for a second but she didn't protest and instead wrapped her arms around his neck for balance. When they broke off the kiss, Kyujong pressed his forehead on his wife's and nuzzled her nose making her giggle. But then again, their little bubble was popped by people who were starting to get annoying to him at the moment.

"Hyejin-ah. He really did it. The old man really broke my unnie!" Seulgi teased faking a cry as she leaned on Hyejin who played along dramatically. "It's okay. It's okay. Atleast... *sniff* Atleast we still have each other!"

Everyone who was there laughed while the couple just groaned and told the girls to scram.

"You better not be getting cold feet." Hyejin hissed as she handed him the ring that she managed to hijack from Byul's watchful eyes. "I practically made a fool of myself trying to get that for you."

"As if. And don't you think it's a little too late for that? She's already carrying my baby as it is." Kyujong smirked.

Hyejin took that as a cue for her exit as she muttered something about being a lovesick idiot or something. He snickered to himself not denying it.

Looking at his watch, he noted that he had less than ten minutes before the plans execution so he made a quick round starting with the pastor, then to the musicians, followed by Seokcheon and his crew and then lastly to his in-laws and his newly arrived friends who arrived to join his entourage chastised him about being a nervous wreck and that to get ready.

When the time finally came and Byul had come out to join everyone else the look of confusion in her eyes made Kyujong just want to go and grab her tight to his arms. Thank goodness Seokcheon's voice interveined before he could do just that.

As soon as she came out of the waiting area to join everyone else, Byul paused in place at the surprise of seeing a few familiar faces who seemed to be taking the roles of her husband's groomsmen. Taking in the new people, she recognized Eric, Henry, Jungmin, and to her delight, Yunho of DBSK. Seeing the new faces, she really confirmed to herself that something is really going on. But before she could go asking anyone, the director pulled her in on her spot gave her instructions before signaling the musicians to start.

"What is going on here?" She muttered to herself as the photoshoot started looking more and more like an actual wedding.

And as the moment for her to start walking approached, she heard a clearing of the throat and turned to find her father-in-law standing behind her with his arms outstretched. "D-dad?"

The old gent gave her a fatherly smile taking her hand in his. "You wouldn't mind if I'll be the one to walk you down the aisle, would you?"

Byul felt to unable to utter a word but nodded.

Kim Sungkyu bellowed a laughter seeing how frozen in shock his daughter-in-law is. "Come on now, sweetgirl. Your impatient groom of a husband is waiting for you."

"Dad, h-how... What is going here?" Byul was amazed at how quiet her voice sounded despite the state of shock she was in.

"Shh. It's okay, sweetie. Just go with the flow." He said giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "And sweetheart?"

"Yes, dad?" Byul looked at him her mind still trying to process whatever it is that is going on.

"That dress looks absolutely wonderful with you but I'm very sure you'll look much more beautiful if you show everyone that smile of yours." Byul couldn't help but smile and reach out to give her in-law a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks, dad."

Choosing to listen to the older gent, Byul reminded herself that they were still in the middle of a photoshoot so she gave her best smile. But that smile quickly faded as she looked ahead to have her eyes focusing on her husband who looked absolutely handsome and the look he was giving her, she couldn't help but grin a little wider.

"Hi." Kyujong whispered as soon as she and Sungkyu reached the altar.

"Hi." Byul giggled as he dipped down and gave her a peck.

"Son, if I must remind you, the kiss comes last in the proceedings." Sungkyu said interrupting their little paradise. "And don't you think it's time to let her in your big secret?"

"What secret?" Byul asked raising her brow at her husband who grinned and nodded at his dad who was now walking back to join the others. "Ahjussi, what is going? What secret?"

Kyujong gave her a peck and asked her to look around. As she did, she gasped noting the familiar faces of her company director and most of the staff she'd worked with in the company. A few personal friends she met as an idol and familiar faces who she remembered to have worked with her husband. 

"Ahjussi, I don't-" Byul tried to say she's still confused at what was going on until she turned to find her husband kneeling in front of her. "W-what... T-this isn't part of the photoshoot, is it?"

Kyujong chuckled. "No, love. It's not."

"Then what are you doing?" She asked quietly.

"Something I should've done the minute I came back and found you." He said and took out the ring in his pocket making Byul gasp as she noticed her fingers bare of it. "Byulia-ah, look at me."

"W-what are you doing?" Her heart started beating so fast that she's positive she could hear it, she didn't know if she asked the right question.

 Byul's mind was in shambles until it all became clear to her.

Hyejin's strange behaviour. Her sister, Seulgi, being a sudden addition to the pictorial. Their manager's unexplained forgetfulness. Yongsun being strangely well-behaved and quiet. Wheein, the ever witty improv genius, taking reigns in answering her questions. And most especially, her father-in-law's arrival and her husband acting all weird for the past couple of days.

"A-ahjussi, you're not-" She looked him in the eyes and she knew the answer before she could even finish her own question.

"Love," Kyujong started giving her knuckles a kiss. "When this started, we never really talked much about how things would go from then on. But then, as the days passed and the more time I got to know you, I started falling harder and deeper in love with you that I felt no regret being married with you despite the circumstances.

"Our relationship started in the most unconventional situation but I wouldn't have it any other way. But because of it, I was only able to give you a wedding where both our families and friends should've celebrated with us." He said and Byul could see the guilt in his eyes.

"Ahjussi."

Kyujong gave her knuckles another kiss. "So, with all our families and friends here to stand as our witness, Kim Byulyi, will you marry me, again?"

Everyone else who was watching the scene unfold infront of them became quiet and still as they all waited for Byul's answer.

A minute passed by and then followed by another one, Kyujong was starting to fear the worst that he had made the biggest mistake and had just made a big fool of himself. And then Byul's blank expression changed as her lips form a smile and she took his hand in hers placing it on her small bump and said, 

"Yes." 

*N: Hi! 

So I kind of feel that this story is already at it's end and it's better that way. I'm not really that satisfied with it yet so maybe an epilogue or two might be added. 

And truth is, I've decided to end this one because I am in the verge of losing my mind with all the crazy sh*t that has been going on lately.

However, that f*ed up drama didn't stop my brain from formulating a new story to which I've decided to write with Wheein taking the female lead this time around.

And with that, I come to plea for help as I am having a dilemma as to who I should pair her up with.

I'd really hope you guys could help me out on this one.

And to end this, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Thank you lots! <3
