Thank god the headache and fever had gone down overnight, thanks to the extra-large bottle of Nyquil she had devoured before going to bed.

“OMG IT’S A DISASTER!” Steph shouted scaring everyone as Hoku sighed. Unfortunately the groups had woken up to pouring rain outside their window. Their reception area had been destroyed overnight even with tents set up.

“Calm down!” Selena snapped back as Hoku pulled out her phone just as it rang. She had been trying to fix everything since they had awoken at 4am this morning.

“Hello?” She answered without looking at the caller id.

“Is this Hoku-ssi?” The voice asked on the other line as she let go of a breath she didn’t know she had been holding.

“Ah yes, this is she.” Hoku quickly answered, hoping for a raw of sunlight.

“YG got in touch with us. We are able to move the reception area to the hall right on the beach. Would that be alright?” He asked as her eyes shot open in surprise. That was the same building where Jiyong had heard her play the piano for the first time.

“Will it be able to be set up in time?” Hoku asked worried.

“YG actually called us last night with a heads up about the weather and the chance of having to change location last minute. So yes, we’re currently already setting up, it should be done by the time the guests start arriving.” He answered as she plopped on the couch in relief.

“Thank you so much, you don’t know how much this means to us.” Hoku thanked the man over and over getting everyone’s attention.

“No need to thank. We’ll work hard and endless.” The man said as she smiled.
“Thank you.” She thanked again before hanging up with a smile.

“Who was that?” Omma asked as Hoku looked up to everyone’s eager expressions, especially Steph’s.

“That was the crew. They found somewhere else, nearby for the wedding reception. They are already setting up for it.” Hoku explained as Steph’s eyes shot open before she plopped down in her makeup chair in relief.

“What?! Really?!” Jiyong spoke surprised when he received the phone call about the plans.

“Wow.” Jiyong whispered in relief looking to the guys who were just quickly watching him.

“That’s great news.” Jiyong smiled to the voice on the phone.
“How are you feeling this morning?” He changed the subject before rolling his eyes.

“Whatever. Yeah, we’ll meet you there.” He answered giving up on trying to check on her, then hung up.

“What’s up Hyung?” Seungri asked first as Jiyong sat next to Daesung, playfully patting his thigh.

“My woman is amazing.” Jiyong admitted laughing as the guys just looked at him confused.
“Did something good happen?” Teddy asked confused as Jiyong nodded, looking to those that had flown in last night, Kush, Choice 37, Seven, Teddy, Tablo, Psy and the dancers.

“My woman is just…..wow.” Jiyong answered again looking to Daesung’s expression.

“What happened?” Daesung finally asked, causing Jiyong to smile.

“Hoku was able to move the reception to that building that was down the beach the last time we came. They are already setting up for it.” Jiyong answered as Daesung’s eyes shot open in surprise.

“What?! Really?!” Daesung answered in relief the same way Jiyong did when he found out.

“Yup, that’s why I said my woman is amazing.” Jiyong added proudly.

“Well now that that’s over, can we get ready?” Youngbae asked gesturing over to the stylists that were waiting for them still.

All the girls had their hair done in fancy up do’s with matching makeup done to perfection after their dresses, accessories in place.

“Aw, look at you!” Hoku cooed seeing the matching dress Hongbum had made for Elle to wear, being the small flower girl for the wedding today.

“Elle-ah!” The 2NE1 girls ran over, dressed and ready to impress as they giggled at the outfit Hoku had put her in.

“Omo, we need to get a photo of you and Elle, unnie!” CL quickly mentioned pulling out her phone before holding in front of her. Hoku chuckled before turning Elle so that she was also facing the camera’s that were now going off.

“Omo, unnie you look amazing!” Minzy mentioned as Hoku blushed.

“You all look beautiful.” She pointed to them as they laughed.

“Here Hoku-ah, let me take her, go get your dress on.” Dami offered as Hoku willingly handed her over before walking over to where Hongbum was stationed.

“Ah there she is! The Maid of Honor tonight.” Hongbum teased causing her to smile, pulling her robe tighter around her.

“Here you go beautiful.” He held out the dress bag before gesturing to the bathroom.
“Need any help?” One of the stylists asked as she shook her head.

The girls were all dressed and ready, bouquets were going to be picked up at the wedding site so that the girls didn’t destroy them.

“Geez, come on Steph! We’re gonna be late!” Eden shouted as everyone waited patiently for Steph and one of the stylists to come out of the bathroom where she was getting dressed.

“Would you be quiet?!” Steph’s voice yelled back causing everyone to laugh at her tone. Finally the door opened as the stylist walked out, smiling.

“Come on! Let’s see it!” Hoku cheered as Steph slowly walked out, fully dressed and styled for the day.

“Wow.” Everyone gasped once Steph stepped out into view.

“Perfect.” Hongbum clapped his hands, approving her entire wardrobe.

“Steph, it’s beautiful.” Hoku whispered smiling as Steph smiled, she was ready for the day.

“I feel like I’m going to throw up.” Daesung muttered nervous as the guys chuckled.

“Believe me, it’ll pass soon enough.” Youngbae reassured.

“Geez, how did you even go through with it when it feels like my stomach is upside down?” Daesung asked turning to Youngbae who laughed.

“Believe me, once you see her, all of that will disappear.” Youngbae added as Daesung sighed.

“Don’t worry Dae, this is Steph we’re talking about here.” TOP added comforting.

“Yeah I know.” Daesung whined turning to the nearest mirror to fix his bow.

“You’ll be married to noona and then it’ll feel like a nightmare.” Seungri teased as Daesung glared over at him while Youngbae reached over and whacked the back of his head.

“Ow.” Seungri whimpered rubbing his head.

“Ji.” Youngbae called as Jiyong looked over from his own little world.

“Hm?” He answered, blinking in confusion.

“When are you planning on asking Hoku-ah?” He bluntly asked causing Jiyong to blush.

“Um, well.” Jiyong mumbled before looking away.
“What is it now? You were doing fine before she gave birth. What changed?” TOP asked confused as Jiyong sighed, looking out the window.

“Nothing but everything.” He whispered. How could he guarantee her safety after everything he put her through, how could he guarantee her happiness after everything he did to hurt her?
