Illusions of the Moon
The Sun, The Moon and The Earth“She’s arrived!”
Myungsoo pretended to stay calm, but it was as if Hongbin and Jongin were the ones getting married instead. The setting was fine. The flowers and ribbons were neatly arranged, thanks to Sunyoung. His sister and Soojung were arriving with the bride, but he perceived he chose the worst people to be his best mates.
However, he had to hand it to Hongbin and Jongin for putting up with him. He was quite a sarcastic and nefarious person when under pressure.
Clearing his throat, he straightened his tie. Before he could speak, the organ began playing it’s own variation of the bridal march. The guests in the benches had familiar faces.

He could hardly believe he once considered her plain and boring. But she shone like the stars that day, and when she smile, it lit up the whole altar.
He was almost blinded by her beauty.
Unfortunately, the priest they had chosen for the vows was slow and stuttering. He resisted the urge to snap at the poor old man. Then came the time to place the rings-- but the best moment arrived when the priest joyously said, “You may kiss the bride.”
Suzy flashed him a mischievous grin, and that was when he scooped her into his arms, kissing
