Sungmin walked up and down the aisle, bowing his head every now and then in greeting to some of the guests that have already arrived for Hyukjae and Donghae's wedding. He wasn't quite sure how any any of the people involved in planning this wedding thought they could keep this under wraps and away from public viewing when they expect nearly a 100+ people to attend. A small awkward smile was on his face as he continued to brisk walk his way towards the end of the aisle to where Kyuhyun was currently standing and warmly greeting the guests. 

"Kyu!" Sungmin hissed and grabbed his arm but not before giving a quick curt smile to the newly arrived guests. He waved for one of their hired ushers to help them find their seats then promptly dragged Kyuhyun away from public viewing. 

"Hey, hey, wha-" Kyuhyun spluttered around trying to match Sungmin's pace but the other was too anxious and too strong that there really wasn't much he could do but follow along after Sungmin. "Min, hey, slow down will you. What's going on?" 

After finding a secluded enough hiding spot, Sungmin stopped dragging Kyuhyun with him and immediately dropped his arm. He turned away from the other to hide the stress he was feeling as he ran both hands through his hair and took in a deep breath. Kyuhyun watched after him, worried but remained in his spot knowing Sungmin needed space. 

"This is a disaster." Sungmin said still trying to even out his breathing. "I mean, wha- how do they expect to pull this off. I-I just ugh! This is stressing me out!" 

Kyuhyun sighed and approached Sungmin slowly as to not startle him in the middle of his rant. He carefully placed a hand on Sungmin's shoulder and waited for the other to acknowledge his presence before turning him around to face him. Sungmin's face was scrunched up in what looked to be physical agony and couldn't help but feel sympathetic for the other. Kyuhyun placed both hands on his cheeks and squished it together, let out a short chuckle at the cuteness he saw, then placed a quick kiss on Sungmin's forehead before pulling him close in his arms and keeping him in a tight embrace. Sungmin's arms remained limp on his sides but did rest his head on Kyuhyun's chest as he let the other's warmth calm him down. 

"Will you stop stressing yourself out so much," Kyuhyun uttered behind Sungmin's ear. "You're going to break out before the wedding could even start." 

Sungmin scowled and tried to push the other away but he just felt Kyuhyun's chest vibrate while his arms around him tightened. 

"That's not funny, Cho Kyuhyun." Sungmin mumbled, now only half trying to get out of his boyfriend's hold. "I'm not going to remember this day with a zit on my face."

Kyuhyun chuckled hearing Sungmin's words and gave him a tight squeeze. "Then stop worrying." He pulled away and lifted up Sungmin's face so that they were both making eye contact, the latter still pouting while Kyuhyun smirked and resisted the urge to kiss him knowing he won't be able to stop himself from ravaging the other. "Everything will be fine. We covered all our bases and as soon as Donghae and Hyukjae gets here, we'll start the ceremony, okay?"

Kyuhyun waited for Sungmin's slow nod then gave him another kiss on the forehead before taking hold of his hand and dragging him back to the front where their guests were waiting. Sungmin still had doubts and a very small inkling that today just would not go as smoothly as Kyuhyun promised, but nevertheless, followed his lead and resumed smiling at their guests, hoping it looked as warm and welcoming as he had intended. 

As soon as Kyuhyun and Sungmin got back to the front where their guests were entering, they saw a small group of people getting off a taxi from down the hill which made Kyuhyun curious while Sungmin's grimaced smile finally let up to a relieved one. 

"Who are they?" Kyuhyun asked still skeptically staring at the rowdy group of people who were slowly making their way up the ceremony. 

"They're Hyukjae's friends from the restaurant." Sungmin informed him then casually switched their place so that he was the one in front to greet them while Kyuhyun just furrowed his eyebrows together when he saw Shindong put Seungi in a choke hold on their way up the stairs while Luna held onto Amber's arm. Amber was wearing a tux but her hair was styled to the side of her face to show off her feminine features and it confused Kyuhyun just enough that he was unable to look away from Hyukjae's group of friends. Sungmin was just grinning brightly at all of them, and as soon as they were close enough, he lessened the gap by meeting them half way from the door and bowing formally as he did with the other guests. 

"Hello. I'm glad you guys could make it." 

It was Hyukjae's boss who came forward first, awkwardly clearing his throat and rubbing his nape while the rest of them gazed at him amusingly from behind. 

"Uhh...y-yes. He-Hello, Sungmin-ssi." He lightly bowed his head in greeting and chose to ignore the giggles he heard from behind. "Thank you again for inviting us. I really wish you would let me return the money you gave the store. I would have closed the store either way to be here for Hyukjae's big day." 

Sungmin just smiled at the elderly's request before shaking his head at him. "No, sir. I'm just following orders."

"Donghae-ssi's very generous, but the money...it's-it's more than what the restaurant makes in a week."

It was Shindong who came to Sungmin's rescue by placing his arm around their boss' shoulders and keeping him from arguing about the money matter any further. 

"Boss! Sungmin-ssi has other guests to attend to." Shindong looked at Sungmin and winked. Kyuhyun noticed and suddenly felt his guard go up as his feet automatically walked closer to Sungmin and naturally placed his hand on his boyfriend's back. "We should just put our gift down and find our seats."

"Hello," Kyuhyun greeted Shindong then gazed at the rest of the group. "I'm Cho Kyuhyun, the boyfriend of the bestman. It's nice to finally meet Hyukjae's friends outside of work." He smiled his charming smile at them, ignoring the stare and raised brow look he saw Sungmin giving him on the side, then saw the silver wrapped box Seungi was holding in his hand.  "Presents go over there," he pointed towards the long table where dozens of presents were already stacked in various sizes with a white painted tree holder with gold streaks painted around it. There were several hanging red and white envelopes around it which they could only guess contained money inside. "You could place your gift anywhere on that table and just tell the ushers your names. They'd help sit you down." 

Shindong made a salute sign to Kyuhyun then patted their boss' back before leading the way towards the gift table. The rest of the group followed with Luna and Seungi bowing a full 90-degree to Kyuhyun with Amber just giving them a simple nod of her head. Kyuhyun smiled wearily at them with Sungmin snickering next to him when he saw his reaction. 

"Are those really Hyukjae's friends?" Kyuhyun couldn't help but ask out loud once he was sure they were out of earshot. 

"Yes." Sungmin answered without a doubt then lightly elbowed Kyuhyun's side for the skeptincal tone he used. "I hope your speech is better than your acting. Otherwise, you might be the bad omen I've been dreading to happen in this wedding."

Kyuhyun gasped, offended, then scoffed at Sungmin's words. He was about to say his rebuttal when he saw a black mercedes pull up at the bottom of the hill. It wouldn't have caught his eye if it wasn't for the suited man that got out of the front seat then stopping the venue's hired valet from opening the door. He gulped as he recognized the front plate of the car. 

"Uhh...Min?" Kyuhyun cautiously called then sweatdropped as soon as he saw Donghae's grandfather come out of the car. "I thought you said Donghae's grandparents weren't coming to the wedding?"

"They're not." Sungmin confirmed with a frown. "They never returned their invitation and Heechul said the ceremony ended with all of them leaving the Lee House early. Last I heard, they haven't spoken since so I highly doubt they would show up today." 

Kyuhyun pursed his lips together, trying to stop himself from blurting out what he was seeing, but when he saw Donghae's grandmother step out wearing her traditional hanbok, bright red with gold swirls of glitter, he just ended up grabbing Sungmin's shoulders and swiftly turning him around. Within a split second, Sungmin's mouth dropped open in shock with his eyes doubling in size when he saw the disaproving look on Donghae's grandmother's face as she gazed aroud their chosen venue while his grandfather waved his hand up in greeting to the staff who bowed after them. 

"What are they doing here?!" Sungmin whispered frantic as he felt his blood run cold the closer they got. 

Donghae's grandparents slowly made their way up the stairs to the ceremony unaware that their arrival was considered a surprise. Sungmin and Kyuhyun both just shared a quick panicked look before adjusting themselves accordingly. They fixed their suits to apprear as neat and crease free as possible while adjusting their backs to be as straight as possible and make themselves look tall and proper the best they could. They both swallowed a nervous lump down their throat with each passing second and as soon as the two elder Lees arrived on top, Kyuhyun and Sungmin both bent their bodies into a 90-degree simultaneously in greeting and waited anxiously to be acknowledged. 

"Ah, Sungmin-ah." Donghae's grandfather greeted in glee and walked as fast as he could his way. Sungmin slowly got up to show him a smile with Kyuhyun hesitating whether or not he should follow his lover's lead. "My, oh my. You've really grown haven't you." He gave Sungmin a big hug while patting his back before turning to Kyuhyun with the same bright smile and patting his shoulders in greeting. "Cho Kyuhyun, how's your father doing?"

"He's doing well, Harabeoji." Kyuhyun aswered formally with a small side smile. 

Donghae's Grandfather chuckled, satisfied with the answer he received and did a short affirmative nod. "That's good to hear. I hope he's taking care of his health. Are they here today?"

"Uh, n-no." Kyuhyun cleared his throat at the small blunder he did and reoriented himself. "F-Father is busy with our merger inSingapore and still has not come back. I'm here to represent him and our company." 

"And your mother?" The three of them turned at the curt question they heard come from Donghae's Grandmother who stood tall and stoic next to her husband. "Has she come to her senses yet or is her head still in the clouds." 

Kyuhyun did his best to not be offended by her words and opted to look at the ground instead to avoid talking directly to her.

"N-No, Halmeoni. Umma-" Kyuhyun paused trying to keep his voice even. He felt Sungmin's hand on his arm and sent the other a short thankful smile before shifting his attention back to Donghae's Grandmother and finishing his sentence. "Umma has signed the divorce papers. We're just waiting for Appa's return then they can finalize everything."

Donghae's Grandmother tsked disapprovingly while Donghae's Grandfather faked an obnoxious cough trying to cover up his wife's blatant way of asking personal matters. 

"Sinhae-ah," his gruff voice warned her lowly but she was not at all phased by it. Kyuhyun chose to salvage the situation by just putting on a smile and directing them towards the main area. Without saying another word, she walked pass Sungmin and Kyuhyun, leaving her husband behind. He let out a soft sigh of disappointment while lightly shaking his head side to side, then giving Sungmin and Kyuhyun one last look before following after his wife.

The pair watched after them to make sure the ushers would not mess up their seats. From where they were standing, it was hard to miss their presence as even the guests who were already sitting stood up to give them their respects. Sungmin watched after them for a few more seconds before turning to Kyuhyun then squeezing his arm to get his attention. That one soft squeeze was enough to snap Kyuhyun from the mini trance he put himself in and turned his head to face Sungmin. 

"Are you okay?" 

Kyuhyun smiled and palced his hand over Sungmin's hand and squeezed him back. "I'm fine."

"You sure?"

Kyuhyun nodded his head and Sungmin took a deep breath while showing him a supportive tight lipped smile. Sungmin's phone started to vibrate inside his pocket and all they needed was to share a quick look before Kyuhyun went back to greeting the incoming guests while Sungmin stalked off somewhere more quiet to answer his phone. 

"Hello?" 

"Min!" 

Sungmin flinched and took the phone slightly away from his ear at Heechul's loud greeting before opting to just put the other on speaker. 

"Heechul hyung, where are you? All the guests are almost here." 

"We got a flat."  Heechul's annoyed and frantic voice screeched through the phone. Sungmin's eyes widened and and used his free hand to cover his agaped mouth while taking a deep breath to calm his nerves down and keep himself from freaking out. "I need you to send a service car right away."

"A-A service car?" Sungmin repeated and tried to rack his brain trying to figure out where he could order such a thing on short notice. "H-Hyung, I-...can't you get a taxi? Or-Or an uber? A service car right now, it'll take a while to place and by the time Donghae gets here everyone would have already left." 

"Min, don't you think I would have done that if it was possible?" Heechul didn't bother to mask the annoyance in his voice but it didn't have much of an effect on Sungmin since the loud passing by cars in the background made Heechul's voice sound very muffled. "I can't have Donghae's location leaked otherwi

It was a little hard reading Dongwha as Donghae's father though. But i got over it as the story carried on.

Anyway, thanks for sharing!
