The day comes.

Yoongi's room is across a long hall from Hoseok's. Jimin and Seokjin stay with Hoseok while Yoongi gets ready with Namjoon, Jungkook, and Taehyung.

Hoseok's nerves come in waves. There was a time he'd gotten all quiet and stared off into the corner of the room while Jin tried to pass on some of his "wisdom". Then, he couldn't talk without merging all of the syllables together at 2 times speed. Apparently, he didn't even know why he was so frazzled himself.

"You want to marry Yoongi?" Jin reaffirms.

Hoseok sputters. "Yes! More than, more than anything, anything, everything, yes."

"And you have no problem with all the people watching your speech and stuff."

"I'm a dancer; why would I feel bad about performing? I mean yeah, I'm not so good at speaking but I'm good ENOUGH, I think, right?"

"Yeah," Jimin assures.

"Have you been thinking about how your life's going to change? Is it freaking you out?"

"I don't even know what we're going to do for breakfast tomorrow."

"Are you maybe just... excited?"

Hoseok enters a quiet wave.

"I'm thinking... maybe that's it," Jimin says.

"It's overwhelming, huh?" Seokjin sits on the floor at Hoseok's feet and rests his chin on Hoseok's knees, looking up at him. "This guy you've loved for, like, eight years. You're marrying him. He's promising himself to you."

Hoseok frowns, eyebrows knit.

"I don't... wanna cry," he explains.

Seokjin chuckles and brings him in for a hug. "Oh, honey. You're setting your expectations too high."

It's nice, Taehyung thinks. Walking down the aisle with Jimin. Standing across from Jimin to watch Hoseok and then Yoongi follow in their path. Sniffles already sounding from the audience. They're opposites, the couple. Hoseok is beaming, brighter than Taehyung's ever seen, but his eyes are already red and he's putting so much effort to hold in the tears. Meanwhile Yoongi is looking at Hoseok the way only fairytale princes look at their princesses. He's not smiling, just a look of pure... awe? Concentration? Taehyung can't find the word. It's just so deep, so cutting. Hoseok doesn't seem to mind but it's the kind of stare Taehyung thinks he would melt under.

His thoughts have taken up all the space that was supposed to be filled with the officiant's words but, ah, screw it, Taehyung only cares about the vows.

"Ah.. Yoongi-ah." Hoseok's voice is shaky, watery. So is his smile. "This is it! We're here." He tries to smile again. "I, uh. I never thought I'd be so lucky. To stand here, with you, in a tux. Really close to crying my eyeballs out." He chuckles a bit, and everyone in the audience does, too. Deep breath. "You, Min Yoongi, are, contrary to what you think, the brightest thing in my life. You're my biggest supporter and the one who knows me the best."

His next words are heavy with emotion and thick with unshed tears.

"And I know that no amount of words, in any order, in any language, will ever appropriately capture my love for you. So I'll just skip that part for now and spend the rest of my life trying to show you, instead of telling you. I promise. I promise that it will never be a burden to me, because being this, for you, is a privilege. I don't think anyone will understand just how grateful I am... that I get to love you like this. That out of the seven billion, you chose me."

Taehyung doesn't realize he's crying himself until he sees the first tear slip from Hoseok's eye.

"So, Min Yoongi. I promise to choose you. I promise to choose you when you want me to stay in bed a bit longer. I promise to choose you when you
