---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone starts walking back to their bedrooms.

TOP:Bommie!

Bom:Yes?

TOP:Sleep with me tonight!

Bom:No!

TOP:Please! I want to sleep beside you!

Bom:No! (Blushes)

TOP:YA! I mean sleeping not having !

Bom: I know what you mean! Ok! (Blushes)

TOP: If you want to do ''IT'' then I know a good hotel nearby! (Whispers to Bom)

Bom:YA! I didn't mean that!! (Blushes)

TOP:You were thinking of it! (ertive Grin)

Bom:Shut Up!Babo!

Bom was about to leave when TOP grabs her,carries her bridal style and takes her to his bedroom.

Bom:YA! S-Stop I-It!!! Let Go Of Me! (Blushes)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At TOP's bedroom

TOP:Let's sleep now! (Smiles)

Bom:No!The Girls will know if I am missing!!! I need to go back!

TOP:No Worries! They will know that you are with me!

Bom:YA!The Guys sleep around you so they will know that I am here!

TOP:Nope! I sleep alone in this room and I want company!Company from my girlfriend!

Bom:Alright you win BUT I will sleep at that opposite corner!

TOP:No You're sleeping next to me!

Bom:Stop Being very ertive!! (Blushes) (Slaps his arm)

TOP:Sleep Time!

TOP grabs Bom and makes her sleep next to him! Bom tries to escape but TOP puts his arms around her waist so she has no choice but to sleep next to him!

TOP: I Love You Bommie!

Bom:Same!

TOP:Say You Love Me!

Bom:No! I'm too embarassed by this already! (Blushes)

TOP:Please!!!! (5 year old TOP)

Bom:Fine! I L-Love You T-Too!!!!

TOP:Why are you so shy when it's just you and me alone?

Bom: I'm N-Not!!

TOP:B-But Y-You A-Always T-Talk L-Like T-This!!!

Bom:Shut Up!! Just Sleep!!! (Blushes really badly)

Since the light is already off TOP doesn't see how Red Bom is.TOP wraps his arms around Bom's waist and places his head on her back.Bom is happy but very very shy to even sleep so it is hard for her to sleep.

Priest:Let Us Begin!Dearly Beloved We are gathered here today, to join this man and this woman in the bonds of holy matrimony.We shall now proceed to the vows.The Groom may begin.

Seven:Han Byul the first time we met I didn't know what to say or think. I was secretly in love with you but I continued to fight with you so I can at least have the chance to communicate with you. I always loved you!Your beauty, heart and mind inspire me to be the best person I can be. I promise to love you for eternity, respecting you, honouring you, being faithful to you and sharing my life with you. This is my solemn vow.

Priest:The Bride may begin her vows.

Han Byul:Seven the first time I met you I honestly hated you I didn't even wanted to see you but who knew fate had planned us together.The more I met you the more I understood that there was another Seven the Seven that I never knew but fell in love with.Later I realised that I have always loved you too even if we fought those fights were meaningful and special to me!Together we will create a home, becoming a part of one another. I vow to help create a life that we can cherish, inspiring your love for me.This is my solemn vow.

Everyone:AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Priest:Do you take each other?Do you both agree to help each other in not only happiness but in sickness and health?

Seven: I do!

Han Byul: I do!

Priest:May I have the rings?

TOP hands them the rings.Seven and Han Byul exchanges rings.

Priest:By the power in me,I now pronounce you Husband and Wife!You May Now Kiss The Bride!

Seven and Han Byul kisses each other while everyone cheers and claps.

Seven: I Love You!

Han Byul: I Love You too!

IU:Yeah! I don't want to ever get married!Marriage is just not me!

Taeyang:Same here!Marriage is like hell!

IU: I know right! I guess you aren't that bad as I thought!

Taeyang:Thanks!Wanna dance?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jiyong:(Clinks his glass)Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to propose a toast to the newlyweded couple. To cousin Seven and Han Byul.One of the greatest couples I know.When I first heard they were married I was shocked!These two were like cats and rats who just don't go together but then I realised how much they love each other and how perfect they were for each other.Their love for each other always grew even when it was small fights it wasn't serious! I hope My Hyung and Noona will have a life full of not only happiness but joy and success.To the Happy Couple!

Everyone raises their glasses and drinks.

Han Byul's brother decides to talk to Bom.

HB's Brother:Hey!My name is Ryoko what's your name?

Bom:Hello!My name is Bom!

Ryoko:Bom what a beautiful name and what a beautiful lady! (Bows and kisses Bom's hand)

Bom:Why Thank You!

Ryoko:So Bom are you free this evening?

TOP sees Ryoko flirting with Bom and as every boyfriend would be he was of course jealous.

TOP:Excuse me but what are you asking my girlfriend I may ask?

Ryoko:Girlfriend!?!?!?? Bom is this true?

Bom:Yes!He's my boyfriend!My Tabi!

TOP:Now Do you have anything else to say to my girlfriend or do you wanna leave us alone!

Ryoko leaves.

Bom:Aigoo!!! You don't have to be jealous!

TOP:He was asking you out!

Bom:Of Course I would say NO! I Love You more!

TOP: I Love You Too but I am still angry!

Bom:Why?

TOP:Cause you didn't tell him before he kissed your beautiful hands!

Bom:Sorry I thought he was just talking!

TOP:Sorry is not enough! I want something more!

Bom:Whatcha want?

TOP:A Kiss!

Bom:You don't mean Now right?

TOP nods at her!

Bom:NOW!?!!?!?!? No!

TOP:Why Not?

Bom:Aish!We can't steal Unnie and Oppa's thunder!! It's their wedding!! I'll kiss you later!!

TOP:Ok Bommie!

Bom:By the way what did you talk to my parents about?

TOP:Oh I told them about us!

Bom:What?!?!?!?!

TOP:Bommie I did!

Bom:Oh No!! Oh No!What did they say!
