THANK YOU

 Author’s POV:

She was standing in front of the mirror, she try to fix her already perfect hair, she smile but then frown. She turned to see the tall boy with thick frames in front of her, he turn to see her and smile at her.

“Are you sure this look good?” She seem scared

“You look beautiful” A girl with Auburn and wavy hair said to her

“You look perfect Fanny” Her mother stood up on the door frame

“Thanks mom” Fanny just smile at her mother and to Jessica and Key

“Key, Amber called you back?” Fanny ask suddenly

“She call me early, she was on her way, she got stuck on some things but she will get here on time” Key answer calm

“Ok, Jessie can you go and see if Taeyeon is alright? I don’t want her to hyperventilate” Fanny asked politely to her friend

“Of course, I’ll be back on a moment” Jessica disappears on her white and lavender dress

She walk towards the other tent, she found herself giggling at the sight of Taeyeon sitting on a chair hyperventilate on the White and Purple dress she had. She seemed so scared.

“Tae, are you okay?” Jessica came closer to the girl

“Yeah, she just got a little bit of…anxious” Taeckyeon appear with a glass of water for his cousin

“Tae, here, relax” Taeckyeon rub the back of Taeyeon softly

“You look handsome” Jessica blurt out to the tall boy

“You look gorgeous” The boy reply with a smile

“How…is…her?....Did…Amber…got here already?...Huh?” Taeyeon’s broke and low voice make the couple smile softly

“She will get here on time, Fanny is freaking out like you, and everything will go alright…You look beautiful Taeyeon” Jessica hug tightly to the hyperventilating girl

“Thanks” That was the only reply

Jessica was going back to the other tent when she saw a figure standing on the shore holding a pair of heels on her hand. She smile softly to the thought of going to her but she remember herself that she had been so tensed with the thought of seen her that she ditched the idea.

“Just breathe” Key was near the two tents trying to calm Jonghyun

“How can I stay calm? The stupid speakers are failing, Amber is not here yet and I spill juice on my pants” Jonghyun whine

“Jong…look at me” Key grabs the face of his boyfriend softly

“The speaker will work, Amber will get here, maybe late but she will be here. Now come, we can use some mineral water to take that spot of juice out, just calm down honey, everything will go as plan” Key speak softly and smiling

“Thank you” Jonghyun reply with a small smile

“You’re welcome Dino face, come on” Key pull up Jonghyun

“I hope you keep the calm when is our turn Kibum” Jonghyun smile

“Oh…I can’t promise nothing babe” Key just smile and take Jonghyun to find mineral water

On the shore, Krystal was letting the water hit her legs, her feet, and her soul. She turns to see all the people getting the last details to the wedding. She found herself smiling at the thought of the crazy Fanny and the nervous Taeyeon.

Then something on the sand caught her attention, there was a little stone, a black stone. She grabbed it and sigh.

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

Krystal’s POV:

“They said that if you throw a stone to a lake and you manage to get 3 jumps over the water, you can ask a wish” Minho was standing behind me.

“Is the ocean Minho, not a lake” I reply bluntly

“I guess that means your wish is most likely to come true” Minho chuckle and I hear him start walking away

I throw the stone to the ocean, my eyes got wide open when I realize that the stone jump three times on a wave. I smile softly and close my eyes

I wish that she is happy…

“Okay everyone we need to get ready, 5 minutes to start the ceremony” Someone talk using the microphone

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

Krystal walk towards the place and put her shoes on, she sigh and walk in. she could see all the people inside. The ceremony was starting; the music start to sound when walking down the aisle was Mr. and Mrs. Liu and Fanny, following them was, Jonghyun, Sully and Minho. We clap to the future bride. She look so beautiful and happy, she was smiling to all the people in there.

On the road to the beach, a girl was trying to get to the beach as fast as she could.

“Ahhhhhh, come one” She yell when the car stop whit the empty tank light on

“I still have 10 minutes” she speak to herself

She got off the car, grabbing the little present, she start running towards the beach, she run with all her strength.

“I made it” she mumbled while getting inside the big tent where the ceremony was.

She heard everyone clap, but she couldn’t see anything, she start to move until she was on the other side of where she should be. But she could see her older sister on a beautiful white and pink dress. After she got at the end of the aisle, Taeyeon appear with her parents too, behind them was Taeyang, Seung Ri and Taeckyeon. Taeyeon was looking so cute with her white and purple dress, she smile while clapping at the two brides.

Jessica, Key, Yuri and Yoona were on the front of the row holding some stuff.

Amber’s POV:

“We’re gathering here, to presence the union of two souls, we’re here to witness the merge of two people in one.  We’re here to be the witness of the ceremony of Stephanie and Taeyeon. Please sit as we start” The minister talk

All the people sit on their chairs, I stood stand because I was on the other side.

“I should move” I mumble

I start making my way towards some chairs on the back, while I was doing that I swear that I saw Krystal sitting 3 rows in front of where I was. But I just shook my head.

“Now we’ll hear the vows from the brides” The minister smile at the two girls

“Fanny, my friend, my lover, the one for me:

We met and grew up together, even if we went for different paths for a while, even if you date my twin brother for a while…” Taeyeon make a sad face

We all laugh at the witty remark of Taeyeon while Fanny pout at her and everyone look at Taeyang.

“You still love me as I love you, we were friends and we became lovers, we have become one even before this ceremony, and I will repeat these words to you every single day of our lives: I Love You Stephanie Liu and I will always will. I’ll take care of you and I will make you feel all my love, I will cherish you forever and I will make you feel tired of me…Thank you for loving me Fanny, let’s keep growing together” Taeyeon smile while kissing Fanny’s hand

We all clap to Taeyeon’s beautiful vows. The minister claps too and then he turns to Fanny giving her the sign to say hers.

“Taeyeon Kim, my adorable dork:

I know I can be dense, but you still had stuck with me all the good and bad times. It took me so long to understand what I feel for you, yes I date your twin brother, but we still make it out to be together. I waste many time been confuse, but knowing that since this day to eternity we will be together makes everything worthy. I promise I will stop crying for everything as long as you promise to be with me all the time, I promise I will learn to cook all your favorites dishes if you promise me you will eat them. I promise to give you all me love as long you give me yours…Tae Tae…I love you more than what I love pink, so let’s begin our life together” Fanny show the most beautiful eye smile I’ve ever seen.

“Very well then, everyone stand up please. For the power I have give, I declare Stephanie and Taeyeon united for the eternity, in the good and the bad, on sickness and happiness, everyone I introduce to you, Taeyeon and Stephanie Kim-Liu” The minister talk excited

“Wooooooo”

“Congratulations”

“That’s my twin”

“Woooohoooo”

“Both brides can kiss” The minister end

“I love you” Fanny and Tae said at the same time

They give each other a peck, I feel like my eyes start to get a little teary, I could say I’ve dream to see my whole family happy and together. I also imagine I will be happy too.

I walk out of the tent to make my way to the place where the party will be, I smile at the decorations, it’s seems so Fanny and Taeyeon. I smile thinking in the happy face of my sister. I went towards the big table that had “Liu Family” on.

“Can I get you something?” A waiter came to me

“Yes, water please” I mumble softly

I was so tired, I had to drive from New York to here, counting that I had to run to the beach because I forgot to fill the gas tank, it was a troublesome journey.

“Amber” I heard my mom said to me

“Hi mom” I smile at her

“What took you so long to come here?” My mom start to scold me

After her last visit she hadn’t scold me or anything, we would called each other and talked but she made it very clear that today was an important day and that I should be at my best.

“I had my final exam mom, then I have to run to grab my clothes, then I drive from New York to here in record time but I didn’t fill the gas tank so the car stop 10 minutes away from the beach, I run to get in time, I got here when they were saying the vows” I explain

“Oh well, you’re here…did you went to congratulate the newlyweds?” My mom sits next to me

“No, I’ll try later…mom?” I leave the glass of water on the table and turn to see her

“What?” She ask me with a concern look

“Is she here? Krystal…is she here?” I ask with a lump on my throat

Taeyeon’s POV:

I came walking to the big tent where will have our party after the ceremony, I still could feel my heart beating so fast. I was married to her, the love of my life. I feel a pair of arms hugging me by the waist while a pair of lips kissed me on my bare shoulder.

“What’s wrong babe?” She ask me with a pout

“I was thinking that this feel so surreal, I’m afraid I will wake up in any moment” I reply to her while turning at her

“Don’t be like that, this is real, we got married, we’re going to be together forever and ever…now, let’s go and have some fun ok?” She kisses me on the lips softly

“Ehem” Someone cough at us

“What?” Fanny glare to the frog boy

“Fanny, Amber is here, Aunt Linda ask me to tell you that everyone is waiting for your first dance” Minho said softly kind of scared of Fanny

“We’ll be there in a minute” I said to the tall boy

He just nod and leave us alone, I hug her hiding my face on her neck, I try to make her smell got deep in my nostrils, It then hits me that I would have that smell with me every day now. I smile at myself, I kiss her neck in a cute kiss.

“I love you” She whisper at me

“I love you too” I peck her on the lips with a smile

“Are you ready for our first dance like a married couple?” She ask me with that eye smile that could melt anything

“Let’s go Mrs. Kim” I said while winking at her

“After you Mrs. Liu” She kissed me on my cheek.

We walk towards the tent, Fanny make the sign saying that we were going to enter. The music start to blast as we step in the big tent, we were received with petals, pink petals, we heard our fathers saying together:

“Now, the first dance of Fanny and Taeyeon”

We start dancing softly, just like an old couple, I wasn’t really a good dancer and she knew it, she told me that we didn’t have to do the dance tradition, but how could I miss the opportunity to present her as my wife, I held her so close to me while the music was slowly drifting my mind to the future that we were going to build.

“Ok, everyone, get up and dance with the cute couple now” Jonghyun said at the mic while putting “I like you the best” by Beast

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzgwYpTsxKI)

I saw Taeyang start dancing with Minzy, while Taeckyeon danced with Jessica, Seung Ri was dancing with Sully, Yuri and Yoona, Minho was dancing with his girlfriend and our parents were dancing too.

“So…you think I look pretty?” Fanny ask me while dancing with me

I make her turn her back at me, I hug her by the waist and I start to sway our bodies together like my brothers and cousin had thought me. I make her turn again and then I make her turn again to rest in my arms with her back in my chest. I went closer to her and start dancing close to her while I intertwined our hands.

“You look beautiful” I reply smiling

“Who thought you how to dance?” She smile at me

“Those three” I said while hugging her and pointing to my family

“Remember me to thank them later” She said while kissing my lips again

We broke the kiss and smile to each other, we turn and we found ourselves surprised to see Amber sitting on a table while Krystal was standing on the other side of the tent with a sad smile. We look each other and like we have read our minds we walk to them. I went towards Krystal while Fanny went towards Amber.

I grab Krystal’s hand and pull her to the dance floor, I start to dance with her, she just smile at me I could see her teary eyes, she laugh at me when I start to move like a dork. Of the corner of my eyes I got to see Fanny dancing with Amber, she smile at me and then start to push Amber to the center of the room. I did the same to Krystal, I make her turn and then I push her softly. Like we had planned she kind of trip and hold onto the person in front, she hold herself close to the girl.

“I’m sorry I trip” I heard her say

“It’s okay…I’m glad that you trip” I heard Amber reply

“God, dance people, it’s our wedding, no sad faces allowed, dance” Fanny push them closer

I grab Fanny and make her turn at me, I start dancing with her, making her forget everything she was saying to them.

Krystal’s POV:

I swallow hard when I feel Amber’s hand on my waist, thank God Taeyeon took Fanny away, I smile at her feeling my eyes start to get teary. She smiles at me and start dancing with me, we were only rocking our bodies to the sides but somehow it feels like everything was right again.

“You call that, dance” Key yells at us with a smirking face

“Let’s show them honey” Jong grab him and start to dance with him

I just rolled my eyes, I turn to find Amber looking at me with her intense eyes, she was just staring at me with something I couldn’t really understand. We weren’t together anymore because of many things but to say I’ve stopped caring for her would be a lie.

“Krys…” Amber whisper at me

“Hmm?” I couldn’t reply anything else

“I …I” She start to stutter

“It’s okay Amber, you were right, after all I was just a kid, we both have fault on it…it’s nice to see you again though” I said to her when the music stop, I turned my body, and I walked away leaving the dance floor.

“What are you doing?” I heard Jessie saying to me

“Nothing…I need some air, excuse me” I push my sister a little bit and left the tent

I went near the shore again and took out my shoes, I went towards a rock and sit on it, I try to forget everything just hearing the waves collapse in the rocks and dry on the sand.

I don’t know how much time I spent sitting just there, when suddenly the voice of someone pull me out my trance

“You’ll get sick”

When I turn to see the person I feel shock when I saw Amber standing in front of me with a tired face.

“I’m fine” I turn to see the ocean again

She sited on the sand and started to draw things on the wet sand

She looks like a kid doing that

“So…how you’ve been doing?” I ask her

“I’ve been fine…what about you?” She asked me back

“Are you seen someone?” I ask her again

“I am…what about you?” She asked me back

“I am…what happen to us?” I look to the ocean again

I don’t know…we were young, we were to infatuate with each other that we couldn’t see the whole thing…I don’t know to be honest” She explained me to me carefully while making notes on the sand

“You must hate me” I said softly

“No, I don’t hate you, I don’t think I could hate the person that make me so happy, I think we just got scare that’s all” She reply once again.

“Amber I…I’m sorry” I said

“I know…” She looks at me with a tender look

She stood up and gave me her jacket, she smiled at me and pointed me to the sand, and then she just left. I got up and went towards the wet sand I feel my eyes got teary when I saw what she just wrote:

“It’s better to loved and lost that to never have loved”

I went inside the tent and found everyone standing in the middle of the tent where the little stage was. Everyone was clapping and they seem pretty happy, I went to the front and notice Amber on the stage with a guitar, Yuri on a drum set and Jonghyun with his keyboard.

“Hi, I’m Amber, Fanny’s sister. Fanny asks me to sing at her wedding, so I’ll sing a song that I know Taeyeon loves and she also dedicate it for my sister once, so yeah…Also I’ll get some help from my brother Jong and my cousin Yuri, I-“ Amber got cut by Jong

“I also want to sing this for Kibum” Jong said while smiling

“Yeah…well this is the song, Fanny…Taeyeon I hope you last forever and beyond that, I’m pretty sure Hae will be pretty proud of how your love had grow…hope you guys like it” …” Amber smile to them and start to play her guitar

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvWHhIIrEFA)

You’ve got that smile that only heaven can make

I pray to God every day that you keep that smile

Yeah you are my dream, there’s not a thing I won’t do

I’ll give my life up for you, ‘cos you are my dream

Fanny and Taeyeon were on the center, Taeyeon was back hugging Fanny, and Fanny was leaning into Taeyeon, they seem pretty please with the song.

And baby, everything that I have is yours

You will never go cold or hungry

I’ll be there when you’re insecure

Let you know that you’re always lovely.

Girl, ‘cos you are the only thing I got right now

I stood there listen to her, her voice and her movements with the guitar, the way she closed her eyes while hitting a difficult note for her. All that I used to loved from her was been display in front of me

One day when the sky is falling

I’ll be standing right next to you, right next to you

I’ll be standing right next to you, right next to you

I stood there hearing them sing, they were happy and they were having a great time, after a while Amber and Yuri were just goofing around while Jong was singing.

Right next to you…

Everyone starts to clap their hands after the song end, I clap too, I smiled to Amber and smiled back at me. I knew at that moment that even when we didn’t meant to be, she will always be on my heart, and I’ll be on her heart.

The first love is never forgotten I guess
