".. I do like him.."

Am I still even breathing right now? I thought my heart can't take this. YoungBae, be strong.

"So.. now.. you are inviting me to attend your wedding?" I choked while trying to speak.

"Yeah.. are you fine with it?" She asked.

I just nodded.

There was a short moment of silence.

"Actually, I was planning on suggesting you to be the best man since I got HyeRin as the maid of honor but they already got my fiance's brother." She broke the silence. "Can you be our wedding singer instead?"

"Do I really have to have a part in your wedding?"

"Yes, of course. You're the best guy friend I ever had."

FRIEND.. I'm the best guy FRIEND she ever had.

That made the tears I've been holding to fall from my eyes.

"Oh.. YoungBae-ah.. Why are you--" She turned body to face her.

"Congratulations." I said with a smile.

That made her frown turn upside down. She flashed the smile that I so miss right now. The smile she flashes everytime I make her happy. The smile she flashes everytime we're having a great time. The smile that I soon will never be the reason behind.

"Thanks."

"Hurry. We should tell the others about this."

The weeks passed by so fast. And now, it is Chloe's wedding eve. Right now, I'm sitting in front of my piano, to practice the song again I have made for Chloe's wedding. But why can't I start? Why does my hands won't move? Tomorrow is the day. This shouldn't be happening.

Again, I remembered. Tomorrow is the day. TOMORROW is CHLOE'S WEDDING DAY.

It made me more gloomy as memories started to flash in my mind. Memories with her where we are so happy like not minding the world around us.

"YoungBae! HyeRin's here!" My brother called out suddenly.

Yes, I'm here in our house not in the dorm with the guys to visit my family. And for a little meditation for tomorrow's occasion.

"Let her in." I shouted without going outside my room.

I waited for a knock.

KNOCK KNOCK.

Then she opened the door.

"Oh. Practicing the song? Can I hear it?" She rushed inside and sat on the edge of my bed.

I don't know why but I can't hate this girl though she had done so many things that hurt me.

First.. she didn't tell me about his break-up with her boyfriend. I mean ex. Instead, it was JiYong who first heard it from her.

Second.. and the most hurtful one... she introduced me to Chloe.

"I don't think I can do this." I told her.

"What?"

"Aish. If it wasn't because of you I would not be hurting like this." I whispered. But, upon knowing her so well, I know she heard it.

"I'm sorry YoungBae.. Actually, I was just having fun of introducing her to you. That time she told me that she was arranged to someone for marriage but she didn't like the guy. Coincidently, I have a friend like you who I wanted to help badly to find a girl. I didn't know that.. you will be falling for her. I just thought that she might be your type.."

"It's okay. I understand. It's done, anyway. I couldn't do anything to bring it back and reverse it." I said as I played with the piano keys.

"Remember what JiYong had told me before when I first met him? The one about.. not focusing on someone. And that you should look around you something like that.. I forgot what he said exactly though."

I let her words sink in to my mind.

"Wow, you are now the Love Adviser. Back then, as far as I remember, it was me." We chuckled.

"Listen to this HyeRin. Tell me if it's good enough."

I pressed the keys according to the notes and chords I wrote on the paper.

(This is the english TRANSLATION--not VERSION--of Wedding Dress)

I would argue
Then you would cry
As you’re struggling, I would only get stronger
My heartaches behind these shadows
My face brightens up as I see your smile
I worry that you might notice my feelings
And I get scared that the gap between us would widen
I hold my breath
Then I bite my lips
Then I pray that she would leave his side.

Baby, please don’t hold those hands
Cuz you should be my lady
Please look at me, I’ve been waiting all this time.

Once the music ends, you’ll be with him forever
I prayed and prayed that this day wouldn’t come
The wedding dress you once wore
The wedding dress you once wore
The wedding dress you once wore

You, who never understood my feelings
Because of that, I ended up despising you
Then I wished a misfortune upon you
But now, my eyes are dry
I try to talk to you but I realized that I’m alone
Every night, I would look back and think
If I already knew the results
Then I close my eyes
Then I dream an endless dream
Then I pray she would leave his side.

Baby, please don’t hold those hands
Cuz you should be my lady
Please look at me, I’ve been waiting all this time.

Once the music ends, you’ll be with him forever
I prayed and prayed that this day wouldn’t come
The wedding dress you once wore
The wedding dress you once wore
The wedding dress you once wore

By all means, be happy with him
So I can move on
Please erase me out of your heart
Although I tried my best but, no oh~

I’ve been living the lies for too long
Yet, she would look at me and smile.

The wedding dress you once wore

The wedding dress you once wore

The wedding dress you once wore

I finished the song and looked at her. I saw her jaws are dropped down and her eyes are looking at me like she never saw me playing the piano with my amazing voice. :D

"What? That's it?" I asked her.

She clapped slowly with her head turning side to side.

"That was.. the best.. NO. That would be an understatement.. er.. it's EXCEPTIONAL." She shook her head to gain back her concsciousness. "Wait. are you serious? The lyrics.. you're going to sing that in front of Chloe and his groom and their parents and the other visitors!? It's like confessing your love to her!"

I nodded at her. "Yeah.."

"You're insane."
