Micky quickly opened his eyes. “Oh my! This is the day! I think my heart is going to explode. I am so nervous,” he uttered to himself as he gently caressed his chest. Somehow his heart was pounding very hard that he was finding it very hard to breathe.

He slowly sat up from his bed and looked around his room. He sighed. His whole room had been changed to give way to some of Muko’s personal things. Even his single bed was changed to a much larger bed suitable for two. And the whole room was decorated according to Muko’s taste… thanks to Hikaru’s meddling.

“What have you gotten yourself into Micky?” he slowly asked himself as he ran his fingers through his hair.

“Good morning, Mr. Groom. I already arranged a very delicious meal for you. I think it would be best if you already got of bed and started to prepare early,” Jaejoong said as he entered the room with a smile.

“Good morning…” Micky answered back.

Jaejoong gently sat down on the side of Micky’s bed and looked around the room. “Wow! This room is totally to die for. How much did Hikaru spend for the decorations and new furnitures?” he asked as he slowly shook his head in disbelief at what he was seeing.

Micky sighed heavily. “Honestly … I don’t know either. But I am sure she spent quite a large amount to set everything up. I was totally shocked after I saw the room yesterday. It was like I couldn’t recognize my own room anymore.”

Jaejoong nodded his head. “Yes, everything looks so expensive. If I were sleeping in such a room, I would totally feel uncomfortable. It’s like I would always be worrying about how expensive everything is and that I should be careful not to break anything.”

Micky lightly laughed as he tried to erase the strange feeling he was having.

“What’s really wrong? I know something more serious is bothering you,” Jaejoong said with concern.

Micky ran his fingers through his hair again in total frustration. “What I am mostly worried about now… is Muko. Can you believe … I would be sleeping in the same room with her? I don’t know how I should act around her once the wedding is over. I feel so nervous.”

Jaejoong lightly laughed. “Now that is a first. The famous Micky Yoochun being nervous around a girl. Are you sick or something?” he asked as a joke.

Micky quickly took a small pillow and threw it at Jaejoong as a joke as well. “I am being serious here,” he said with a smile.

“Just wanted to make you laugh, that’s all. I know you’re nervous. I already saw it yesterday… Well, all of us already noticed right after they started moving in some of Muko’s things in the room. You should have seen your face. It was like you were shocked and scared that you wanted to just ran away and disappear or something,” Jaejoong replied with a silly smile on his face.

“Hey, try and be in my shoes… you’ll be scared as well. This is not a simple thing. This is a wedding … a marriage …. We’re talking about my wedding, my marriage… Frankly I never imagined that I would be having my marriage like this. I always imagined that I would get married with the woman I would be spending the rest of my life with. Someone who I love and someone who loves me back in return … And not someone that I just met and got entangled with,” Micky said with a sigh.

“Micky,” Jaejoong couldn’t help but utter.

“I know I am being bad. But I just can’t help it. I feel so scared. It’s like I don’t know if everything is real or not. There are times that I have already accepted what is happening. But there are also times that I just keep on asking myself, if I am doing the right thing. Imagine I would be responsible for another person’s life. It’s scary…” Micky uttered again.

“So you’re having doubts?” Jaejoong asked.

“Kind of… I guess,” Micky said with a low voice.

Unknown to Micky and Jaejoong, someone was listening in on their conversation from outside the room.

“Hey Muko, what are you doing there? Why don’t you go inside? I think Micky is already awake,” Max uttered.

Shocked, Muko quickly handed the small box she was carrying to Max. “Here take this. Just give it to him. I think I should go,” she said with a quivering voice.

Confused, Max just took the box and stared as Muko quickly left in a hurry.

Micky hurriedly got out of his bed and went straight to the door after hearing Muko and Max talking to each other.

“Muko…. Where is she?” Micky asked Max nervously.

Max just shrugged his shoulders. “Don’t know. She just left in a hurry. She was sort of listening to you guys inside the room. What were you guys talking about anyway?”

Fear instantly filled Micky’s heart. “She was listening to our conversation. Oh god! Please don’t tell me she heard what I said,” he said worriedly.

Jaejoong was already standing beside Micky when he finally spoke. “I think she heard everything you said Micky. If she didn’t then … she wouldn’t be leaving in such a hurry. I think you need to talk to her before everything gets out of hand.”

“Here, she said to give you this,” Max said as he gave Micky the box he was holding.

Micky quickly took the box inside his room and opened it. “It’s empty,” he uttered as if confused. He then carefully read the note that was also placed inside the box. And his heart immediately felt heavy with worry after reading it. He suddenly became afraid that he might lose her.

“I need to talk to her…” Micky uttered.

“But hyung, you can’t go to her now. The two of you will be married in three hours time. You guys need to prepare and … “ Max tried to remind his friend.

“If I don’t talk to her now… I am afraid there won’t be wedding…” Micky uttered quickly.

“Go, just make sure the two of you patch things up before the wedding. I have already bought a wonderful suit to wear for the wedding… and I intend to use it,” Jaejoong said with a smile. “Look, I know you like her and that is the main reason why you agreed to marry her and not because of the pressure regarding our careers and her sister… I think it’s about time that you tell her how you truly feel about her. I believe she still thinks that the only reason why you’re doing this is because you’re forced to do it. If I were you, I would clear everything up … So the two of you can have a more peaceful and stable married life together.”

Micky stared at Jaejoong and nodded his head. “Thank you… Don’t worry, I will surely clear up everything with her.”

After Micky left, Max and Jaejoong couldn’t help but look at the note that Muko gave Micky. He had left it on his bed because he was in such a hurry to leave. And they instantly knew why Micky was so worried after reading it…

Micky,
Like this box, I am empty. I don’t have anything special to give you. And I don’t think I have anything that you would actually want. Before I met you, I had already accepted that it was my fate to be married to God. But after I met you, I started to question myself. I started to have doubts. I know that what happened maybe God’s will. But I don’t want to bind you into something so sacred that you will just end up regretting it all of your life. I know you also have doubts and fears. I can see it in your eyes whenever you look at me. So I just want to give you another chance. You don’t have to marry me Micky, if you really don’t want to. Just decide based on what your heart tells you. I assure you. I will respect and understand your decision. Don’t worry about the problems that might arise, I will try to fix everything for you. I want you to be happy Micky. And I can feel that you’re not yet ready to be with me, so I am very much afraid that our life together will only bring you pain and suffering. I will understand if you suddenly decide not to appear on our wedding. I will accept it. Please decide not with your mind but with your heart. It is the only thing that will lead you to your true happiness.

Muko
