I was all smiles as we were getting ready for the one thing I have been waiting on forever, Changsub’s wedding, and to tell you that I was happy was an understatement I ing elated. We had taken a break from our rehearsing as it was mainly us in two different rooms watching documentaries until either our eyes hurt or we fell asleep on the stop. Fixing my suit, I looked over at Jackson as he seemed to be struggling a little bit and I couldn’t help but laugh because he must have never done an old timey photo before. Walking towards him, I grabbed his jacket tucking his tie into it before buttoning it as I smoothed it out before taking a step back as I reached forward a little bit fixing his hair until everything was perfect. Smiling, I grabbed our bag as we needed to get there early as I, of course, was his maid of honor and Jackson was his best man; this is the thing, they don’t have a lot of friends, but we don’t mind.  

“Kwang?” I was rushing to slip on my dress shoes and as I turned around he was standing behind me with a string in his hand as he ed it towards me.  

“It’s a string? What am I supposed to do with this?” He laughed before lightly handing me it and as I stood in confusion he took a step back causing more string to exit his coat sleeve. 

Pulling on the string for what felt like forever it was finally over as something feel out causing it to dangle by my waist as it tapped my leg a few times. Grabbing it, I looked back at him but he was grabbing the bag that I had dropped as he already had his shoes on. Looking down again, I looked at the little silver ring as it laid resting in my palm and I had so many questions. 

“What is this for?” He showed me his hand which had an identical ring on it, so not thinking twice I slipped it on my finger before grabbing his hand as we left my apartment. 

“I have to make it known all over the world that you are mine, and I am yours. They’re couple rings.” He was as happy as I was but for a different reason and not wanting to say anything I just nodded to his rambling. 

Walking out the front door, I was blinded for a minute by a flash but ignoring it we walked to the van as we pushed through the fans that seemed to be staring at our hands that held together tightly. Getting inside, he finally let my hand go as he smiled for the cameras before closing the door, and as Hyung drove off I couldn’t help the chuckle that I had been holding since we woke. When we arrived there were already a few people from the media seeing as how they invited majority of the company and celebrities they worked with and knew fairly well; so, as we stepped out of the car we smiled as we walked past them and into the venue.  

“Eunkwang!” Jumping, I turned around only to be swept away as I was dragged to who knows where. 

Looking up, I saw my Aunt as it seems that she has gotten stronger lately, and as she seemed a little distressed I already knew she was taking me to the bride. Finally stopping in front of the door, she stood me up straight as she fixed the clothes I had so neatly put together and as she stared at me I stared back because this was awkward. 

“He won’t open the door. Can you go in and see what’s wrong with him?” Nodding, she left after telling me good luck, and with that I simply knocked and entered the room without struggle. 

Shaking my head, I looked at him as he was in his own little world dancing as if there was no tomorrow and I couldn’t help but feel that I was tricked. Sitting on the couch that they put in the room, I watched in amusement as his hair was all over the place and his suit was nowhere near together as his shirt was wide open and his pants hanging off his hips. Looking around, I saw a drink on the table and grabbing it I took a few sips before putting my attention back on him as he was staring at me in confusion. 

“When did you get here?” Looking at my watch, I shrugged because who knows for how long I have been sitting here watching him fool around. 

“Your Umma dragged me over here saying that you wouldn’t open the door, and after I opened it walking right on in I felt that I was being played. But, on another note, what are you doing?” He shrugged this time as he began buttoning up his shirt tucking it into his pants after as he was finally coming together.  

“Figured. Ever since she arrived she has been bothering me, so I told her to get out and I guess she feels that I won’t let her back in; which is correct but I won’t tell her that. But, are you ready? Because I’m going to make you sing until your voice disappears.” We both laughed as I nodded because I have been preparing for this moment as if there was no tomorrow.  

“Are you doing your hair yourself, or is someone coming? Because I can see you got your makeup done.” He scratched the back of his neck and standing I pushed him into the chair because he was hopeless. 

When I finished doing his hair, I fixed his suit as he looked extra handsome today, and as he smiled at me through the mirror in thanks I hugged him tightly as everything finally hit me. Tears started to come to my eyes, and as I let him go I turned my back on him wiping them away as it was his day and I shouldn’t be crying like this. There was a knock on the door before Jackson poked his head in telling me that we needed to get ready as the ceremony was about to start, and using that as an excuse I left the room with a smile on my face. Closing the door behind me as his Appa would soon come to walk him down the aisle and I didn’t want to ruin it by being there as they aren’t really on all that good of a term, but whatever. 

“Where you crying?” Giving a slight nod, I looked at him as he seemed worried but I wasn’t crying because of anything bad. 

“Yeah, I had realized that I was giving my best friend to my other best friend, and as that feeling hit me I couldn’t help but get chocked up. For a long time, it had been only Changsub and I as we ate together, played together, fought together, and so on; and, even when Hyunsik came in the picture we were still together. So, the thought of that all changing hit me also, but I’m happy for them and I forever will be, because they are meant to be.” Smiling, we walked through the doors arm and arm as we bowed greeting everyone before making our way towards our designated spots. 

As Jackson stood behind Hyunsik, I grabbed the mic as I waited for my que and as soon as it came I couldn’t help but feel that I was finally able to give something to him. 

How can I describe~ 

What you mean to me, 

Why you make me so nervous? 

I’ve lived with such thoughts  

Only to fall into you…into everything about you. 

Your dark eyes, your dainty voice, your small lips, your delicate hands covering your smile, 

And your other hand running through your hair! 

When you walk alone, your face is a little bit emotionless,  

Do you know that? 

The first verse was coming to an end as I knew he was going to enter on the chorus, but as everyone’s eyes were on me I couldn’t help but feel a certain type of way as I saw our family members sitting with disinterested looks on their faces. 

I remember everything about you, which makes me get closer to you. 

As I take a closer look at you, it makes me find yet another side of you. 

I’ve fallen in love with you and the reason is too simple. 

I’m just lucky to have bumped into you and since that day, to me,  

You are so beautiful. 

I was holding the note as the doors flew open, and seeing him standing in the light with the most normal, gentle, smile on his face I could tell that he was happy. As I finished singing the song he walked towards Hyunsik and as I saw him I nodded trying to keep my laughter in as I wasn’t going to ruin this for them. When his Appa passed Changsub off, they walked towards the officiant as he was dashing as usual; and with the song finally ending I gave him an air high-five and a thumbs up. 

The ceremony went fine for the most part and as they turned to give their resolutions to us, I had to wipe the tears that secretly sneaking out of my tear ducts. When did I become so emotional? 

“We want to thank everyone who supported us these last 12 years, and as we are at this moment right now we would like to say that we made it. Even though many said that we wouldn’t we did, and there is one very special person we would like to thank for that.” I wasn’t paying attention as I was trying not to show everyone that I was crying but as I felt someone hugging me I looked back over to see Changsub and Hyunsik sandwiching me as if I was the meat and they were two piece of bread. “Eunkwang, thank you for putting up with us these past 12 years, and we hope you continue to for another 12 and then another and another.” 

“Idiots.” Pushing them away from me, I smiled patting them both on the back as they bowed to the audience once more before walking back down the aisle as the piano accompanied them.  

As soon as they were out of the door, Jackson wrapped his arm around my waist as we followed after them as the after party was going to be amazing. I was singing their entrance song once more, but they would be joining me as we divided the song as it was originally sung; and as they would do their first dance I was going to be able to relax as they choose a DJ to play for the rest of the event. Everyone piled into the hall as they went to go change and it didn’t take long before his Umma came telling me to get ready. Breaking away from Jackson, I grabbed the mic once more as I stood in the middle of the dance floor. 

“Ready?” I asked as the DJ nodded causing the instrumental to begin and as it did I nodded my head as I have always wanted to sing this song for them. 

In the hard and tiring night, I’m always next to you. 

After I kiss you as you sleep, yes you baby. 

Nobody in the world can own my happiness,  

You’re the one and only angle of mine, yeah. 

You’ll never cry anymore in the bumpy road, don’t cry 

I’ll shine for you~~ 

“Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. and Mr. Lim Hyunsik!” They entered as we began singing the chorus together and I just knew I wasn’t going to have any voice for tomorrow. 

So baby you don’t have to let me go, I’ll give you my all, 

I’ll be the one that will always keep you safe, 

I want to love one person forever only, I can do all for you, 

Cause you are the only one for me. 

We were harmonizing as if we have practiced this song many times, but truthfully we only rehearsed yesterday as they have been busy trying to get everything together. Looking around as Hyunsik began to sing his verse, my eyes instantly locked with Jackson’s as he was up front having the biggest heart attack over causing me to laugh because he really was my biggest fan. We came back together for the chorus once more, and as Sub and I were harmonizing and doing riffs I noticed someone else as they stood on the edge of the crowd smiling at us. Avoiding eye contact, I let Sub have his verse as he did the last chorus by himself, and as we took the last lines doing whatever we wanted I ended the song with the highest note I could hit before letting the mic fall to my side as the cheers that erupted were enormous. 

I left them as they began their first dance, and walking over to Jackson I grabbed him dragging him out of the hall and into the hallway. He seemed surprised before he hugged me saying that I did an amazing job. Patting his back, he stopped for a moment before bowing as I went with him as he was still holding me, and as I bent backward I saw Umma standing behind us dressed in her Sunday’s best. 

Standing up, quickly, I moved Jackson’s arms telling him to go enjoy himself and as he excused himself it was only the two of us as she seemed to have something to say. 

“That was really beautiful, you personally singing for them, I mean.” Nodding, I clasped my hands behind my back trying to figure out what her purpose was. 

“Of course. Changsub is more than my cousin, he’s my brother and I’ll do anything for him. But, Mrs. Jung, how may I help you?” She closed her eyes as she took a long pause, and as I looked around the empty hallway for some reason I didn’t feel awkward or tense; maybe I’m really over them. 

“After the reunion, I realized a lot of things and one of those things is that I have been hurting you f noor a long time and I did nothing to try and sooth your pain. When you brought JB home, I thought that you were finally being loved and taken care of properly; so, I continued acting as I always did because I knew it wasn’t going to change anything. When you two broke up, I wanted to go to your place and comfort you but I felt too awkward doing that, so I didn’t, and with Jackson now I can tell her really does love and care for you. The only reason I “bother” you, is because I don’t want you to feel abandoned by me anymore and I know you won’t understand but you will forever be my number 1, okay?” I couldn’t tell if she was putting on a show or not, but no matter what it was it was too late to try and apologize now. 

“Mrs. Jung, please give up, because you are only hurting yourself.  Thank you for your words, but I cannot accept them. Why? Because as soon as Appa died you started dating the very man you cheated on him with. You could have done it a week or two after Appa’s death anniversary but you went directly to see him the next day; then, when I was 6 years old, you told me that I was expecting a younger brother and 6 more years after that you are getting married again. Since I became a trainee at 11 years old, you have only been acting entitled as if I owe you for my success, and anything else I have won or gotten. I gave you my first paycheck as I knew Appa would have liked me to but you used it to buy yourself new clothes to go on a date with that man that you are now married to, as you left your new child with Imo trying to be young. I can’t understand any of your logic for your actions these past years, and I never will no matter how many times you explain it. Let’s stop here, okay? I’m going to go enjoy Sub’s wedding.” Walking away from her I knew it was a show as she didn’t look guilty or remorseful at all, sometimes I feel that she is nothing more than psychopath, as she feels for no one but herself.  

Going back inside, I was instantly pulled to the dance floor as I was dancing between the grooms as they were laughing at my amazing freestyling skills. Jackson joined in as we began copying one another and in this moment I realized that I am truly happy. We danced until dinner was served and as we were sat with Sik’s parents and siblings we joked around as they seemed to want to know every singer and actor in the room causing me to laugh as I stood introducing them to everyone. After they served the cake and everything had calmed down I watched as Sub and Sik went around thanking everyone for coming and feeling a hand grab mine under the table I looked at Jackson as he was smiling brightly.  

“Are they having a honeymoon?” I nodded to his question causing him to nod back and as I looked down at my phone I couldn’t help the yawn that had hit me. “Tired?” 

“Yeah, but we have to stay for the picture, it shouldn’t be that far away.” As soon as the words left my mouth they were telling everyone to gather on the dance for and arrange themselves accordingly.  

It was hard trying to get everyone to fit perfectly but we did, and as the photo was taken we took a few more, and as soon as it was over I told Sub that we were leaving as we needed to practice. After getting a hug from the both of them, we left going back home as Hyung needed to go finish filling some stuff out at the company. The ride home was quite as we were all tired from party as if we didn’t have anything to do the next day, and as the 2nd script reading was the day after tomorrow, we really needed to get this down.  

Arriving, we got out thanking Hyung, and as he left saying that we had a schedule for tomorrow I could only sigh before nodding as we made our way inside. Going straight towards my apartment, I opened the door falling straight on the couch as I wanted to sleep but as the script sat perfectly in the middle of the table I sat up grabbing it. 

“We really only come together for the 2nd half of the movie, so I think it is good for us to continue practicing individually. I’ll go finish watching that documentary then practice, and tomorrow after whatever we do we can start practicing the 2nd half.” He nodded before flopping down next to me causing me to bounce a little bit but it didn’t matter. 

“True, because I’m mainly stalking you in the 1st half anyway, so we can do that. Also, you should go grocery shopping there is nothing in the fridge.”  

“Now that I think about it, when are you going home? You’ve been here ever since the reunion which was a little less than a week ago. Go home!” Standing, I pulled him up with me as I ushered him to the door but as he was stronger he just stood there laughing as I struggled.  

“I think I like it better here. I’ll leave tomorrow, okay?” He picked me up causing me to almost kick him in his manhood as I hated being picked up, and as he carried me into the bedroom I could only continue to scream for me to be put down. 

But he ignored everything I said as he used his foot to close the door behind us. I swear, I’m stuck with an idiot.
