Chapter 48
Friendship Never Dies!Narrator's POV
Forgiveness is not something we do for other people. We do it for ourselves, for our love ones including us to get well and move on. There are always ups and downs in life but if you manage to go through all of that, you will tend to get stronger because every experience is a lesson to be learnt and you have a choice to choose whether you should do something or do nothing about it. In all ends up with the choice that you make.
This apply to the life and pathways that Sasha and her friends had been through. All those hardships and sufferings lasted for years and like finally, they managed to go through it not alone, but together. For almost more than 5 years they had been enduring and till today they don't have to worry because everyone had forgiven each other and promise never to look back but to keep on moving forward. Furthermore, Zelo had been spending most of his time with Sasha to show how much he misses her. In addition, Jay and Sasha had been enjoying their healthy relationship for a few months.
So, after making such a shocking proposal, Jay and Sasha's parents meet up to have a discussion about the wedding. The discussion is going smoothly and the wedding date had already been set up. Feeling so enthusiastic, Nichkhun's mum volunteered to settle the wedding gown and suites since she had a great taste in fashion.
"Well, let's not wait. We shall survey for the gowns and suites today. You don't mind don't you?" asked Nichkhun's mum to Sasha
Without further a due, Jay and Sasha along with their friends follow Nichkhun's mum, feeling so enthusiastic to pick out the perfect gown and suites for the wanna be newly wed couple.
---------------------------------------------------------------//-----------------------------------------------------
They reach their destination half an hour later and the moment they step foot inside the boutique, they are being welcome with hundreds of wedding accessories, gowns, suites and many more that are looking so luxury. All of their jaws drop at the same time. Shockness engulf all of them like as if they are in heaven. Only laughters came out from Nichkhun's mum.
Without wasting time, they started to survey. Chaerin, Minzy and Park Bom offer Sasha some help on the choosing while Nichkhun, Taecyeon and Zelo help Jay out. It sure is tedious and complicated to come to the perfect choice because all of the gowns and suites are all just eye catching to them. Sadly none of their friends choice matches Jay and Sasha's taste.
Nichkhun's POV
"Sasha, Jay what about this?" Nichkhun suggested, holding up a gown and a suite
"Ania, I think it doesn't suites them. You guys should be wearing this instead. See, the design is unique," Taecyeon interrupted
"Unique? You call that unique? You really have worst fashion taste ever!" Nichkhun insulted
"Watch what you said arra?!!" Taecyeon fumed up
"Hey come on. Cut it out you guys. Don't have to fight over small matters right. Sorry but both designs doesn't match our taste," Jay told them
"YOU HAVE NO FASHION SENSE!!" both Nichkhun and Taecyeon roared causing Jay and Sasha to move one step back
"I do!" my mum suddenly exclaimed
All of us face her and is astounded by the gown and suite that was chosen by her. Everyone including Jay and Sasha seems to be agreeing to it. Haha, I'm proud to call her my mum. Her choice is totally a yes to me. I can already picture them wearing that.

Narrator's POV
At last, the day that they had been waiting for has arrive. The wedding that they had been planning for will be executed today at the great hall booked by both families. The bride and the groom are preparing themselves for the biggest and meaningful event happening in just a few hours. All of them are busy with their respective jobs. It takes quite some time for Sasha to put on her gown and accessories but thanks to her three lovely bridesmaid, solutions could be solve in a fastest period of time.
Sasha's POV
I can't believe I'm getting married today. Do all girls who are married gone through that before? Or am I the only weird one? I know that on my wedding day, I'm supposed to look cheerful and jubilant but I'm nervous and scared instead. Is this even normal? As I look at myself in the mirror, I could imagine myself being a wife and hopefully a mum. The moment Jay slots in the ring into my finger, the game begins. It will either turn out bad or good. That's what I'm afraid of. Suddenly, I kinda jerk upon hearing Minzy and Chaerin's voice, persuading me to reveal myself in the gown.
"It's like as if they are the one getting married. Aiish. You ready Sasha?" Park Bom asked
"Phew, I'm nervous. Like really nervous. I'm not even confident if I can," I told her
"Awww don't worry sweetheart. Every girl had gotta go through this. You can do it, during the vow, just imagine that you're only talking to Jay and ignore the stares alright?" Bom adviced
I nod my head and give her a hug for strength.
"Ok sweetie, it's time to reveal yourself," she said, while she help me up
Taking a deep breath, I slide the curtain open and expose myself to them.
"DDDDAAAMMMNNNN GIRL!!! YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!!! Bom, you're a proffesional when it comes to make-up " both exclaimed
I just blush and thank them when I see Nichkhun and Taecyeon entering with a bouquet of flowers giving the same expression like the girls did. I guess Nichkhun's mum pick the right choice.
"You really look like a princess Sasha. The dress really suite you well," Taecyeon complimented
"Thanks to Nickhkhun's mum. Aren't you guys supposed to be helping Jay?" I asked
"Well we thought of stopping by here for a while just to congratulate you. Oh this is for you," Nichkhun said and handed me the bouquet of fresh red roses
I thanked him and we had some random chat for a while about my future with Jay. These two guys must be really bored eh? As the conversation expanded, I almost forget that someone who is suppossed to be here is not here even though he so called distance himself away from us. I ask the both of them about Wooyoung but unfortunately they told me that Wooyoung didn't give them any response after telling him about the wedding. Wow, that is such a hurtful thing for a friend to do. I sigh and wondered, will Wooyoung ever come and even visit me again. He must be afraid to be near me after what he had done. Thinking about me loosing my child causes a tear of mine to roll down my cheek. Nichkhun quickly wipe it off with his bare hands.
"Hey don't be sad. If he can't be here, we will replace him for you. Forget about him and focus about the wedding later alright? Wah, till now I actually still couldn't believe you ended up with Jay lol!" Nichkhun laughed
Me and Taecyeon chuckle loudly about what he said. Not only him, even I can't believe. I'm still nervous.
"Speaking of wedding, we're supposed to be checking on Jay now. We're his best men," Taecyeon reminded
With that, they excuse themselves after giving me a big congratulation hug. A few minutes later, my friends excuse themselves to get prepared, as they have not changed into their bridesmaid dresses yet. Now I'm all alone in the room. I'm still nervous as hell that I decide to kill time by practicing not to be distracted by the crowd staring at me. Out of a sudden, I heard the sound of the door opening. Assuming that was one of the girls,
"It's not even one minute and ~~~Youngjae?!" I exclaimed
"OMG You came?" I asked in disbelief
"Of course I must. It's my friend's wedding, haha. Wow you look amazingly stunning and beautiful. Congratulations on your marriage chingu!" he wished
We hug each other and honestly it's great to see him again. He thankfully looks so much brighter and happier compared to last time. I'm so proud of his tremendous change. I suddenly have the urge to cry hugging the guy who tried really damn hard to get me. Even though the wound has healed, there would always be a scar which takes time to be gone.
"Are you crying again? Please don't tell me you do," he said, pulling me away slowly
Being ashamed, I quickly put on a small smile but tears keeps on streaming downwards. He beam and shake his head from side to side. Cupping my face with his hands.
"Why are you crying on a very special day like this? You worry too much I guess? Haha, don't worry, I'm not angry with you and I'm not blaming you. Both of our fate had been design differently and you have to accept that. If I can, surely you could. You wanna repay me so much right? Just do me a favour and smile. Don't ever let the past haunt you and never ever blame yourself. Promise me?" he asked
"Alright. I promise. And you promise me, if you're going through difficulties in life, approach me if it's hard for you to handle alone," I assured him
"Yes your majesty. Now don't cry anymore, you're ruining your beautiful make-up. Aiish, it's smudging already. My God you look like a zombie bride. Hahaha!," he teased and did some touch up on my eyeliner like designing a cake
"Thanks!" I thanked him
As I have no soloution now, I told him about how nervous I am and as usual, Youngjae never fails to be my life saviour when I'm in need. While he is elborating about his techniques, someone barges into the room.
"Sasha, hurry, we're leaving soon,"
"Eunji?" Youngjae exclaimed
"Youngjae?!" she exclaimed back
Alright, how in the world do they know each other?!!!
"What are you doing here? Sasha what is she doing at your wedding?" Youngjae asked
"She is my cousin. She just came back from L.A a few days ago. How do you know her?" I asked him
"What a small world. We bumped into each other before in L.A" Youngjae told me, still looking or should I say admiring?
There is an awkward silence for a few seconds as I see the both of them stealing glances at each other secretly. My cousin had her cheeks turning red. Oh well, Youngjae, I think you've found your Mrs Right.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------//-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jay Park's POV
Phew, I don't know for how may times I had been repeating the same word to myself, pacing back and forth in my room, with nervous sweat running down my forhead. I've been trying to calm myself down for countless of times while putting on my wedding suite. I'm nervous and afraid. My gosh!!!! I kept casting anxious look while looking at my own reflections in the mirror.
"Hyung, don't worry, you look handsome. My sis will love it!" Zelo who actually takes the initiative to come early to my house to offer some help
Out of the blue my door was being banged open and my heart almost skip a beat. I heave a sigh of relief knowing that it's my own friends. Not feeling confident, I ask their opinion.
"How do I look?" I asked
"Like a prince, now come on bro, we gotta get going. Sasha can't wait to see you at the aisle!!" Taecyeon exclaimed
Phew, hope everything goes smoothly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------//---------------------------------------------------------
Narrator's POV
Everyone that attended the wedding has already taken their respective places and is now waiting patiently for the bride to arrive. Jay totally feel like running away due to the anxiety level that is rising up in him. He is fidgeting with his fingers causing both his friends to calm him down when in a few minutes time, a song was being played signalling that the ceremony had started.
Every single one of them stand up and turn around to welcome the bride's arrival. Deep down, Jay can't wait to see how beautiful Sasha is. A few seconds later, Sasha was being lead by her father and her other three bridesmaid towards the aisle. Everyone was stun and astounded by how beautiful she was that no one had taken their eyes off her. Taking Bom's advice, Sasha only focus her vision on Jay who seems to look like he can't wait to have his hand in hers.
After what seems like ages, Sasha's father handed her over to Jay. The couple slowly made their way to the priest while the others, including the bridesmaid and best men take a sit, being totally quiet before the priest could talk. While the priest is giving his speech, Jay did some mouth movement, as if to tell her something.
"You're beautiful,"
"Thank you, handsome,"
Understanding each other's comment, they chuckle in silence that only their friends notice it. Alright, now is the time to say their vows.
"Park Jaebom, do you take the woman standing right before you to be your wife?" asked the priest
"I, Park Jaebom take Sasha to be my lawfully wife. I will promise to be your lover, companion and friend, your patner in parenthood, your ally in conflict, your greatest fan and your toughest adversary, your comrade in adventure, your student and your teacher, your consolation in disappointment, your accomplice in mischeif. I promise to love and care for you, and I will try in everyway to be worthy for your love but most importantly, I will promise to be a true and a loyal friend to you. This is my sacred vow to you, my equal in all things. All things, I love you,"
"Sasha do you take this man that is standing right before you to be your husband?" asked the priest again
"I, Sasha take Park Jaebom to be my lawfully husband. I take him to be my partner for life. I promise above all else to live in truth with him and to communicate fully, fearlessly. I give him my hand and heart as a sanctuary of warmth and peace. I pledge my love, devotion, faith and honor as I join my life in his,"
"Ladies and gentleman, may I pronounce them husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," instrusted the priest
They receive a huge round of applause and heard some strange whistle to congratulate them. They kissed for a few seconds and their lips part away, staring at each other in happiness.
"Wow, saying vows isn't that hard," Jay said, adjusting her fringe
"Yeah, make sure you mean what you say," Sasha warned him jokingly
"Of course I will. You're officially my wife hehe," he replied and gave her another long worth kiss
-------------------------------------------------------------------//------------------------------------------------------
EVENING FALLS......
Sasha's POV
Hours and hours had passed. It's only been half a day and I'm already lethargic. These heels are killing me. I'm in a room changing into an evening gown for tonight's dinner event with both families. However, I'm tired that I decided to stay in the room for a while to gain back some energy. While doing so, I stare out of the window.
A glow of happiness lit up my face seeing the enlightened faces from my love ones, having fun, enjoying themselves and finally freedom welcomes them and problems and misery are being drained away from their lives. Seeing them sharing the same happiness as me just made my day. I will definitely cherish all of their good deeds. Nichkhun and Taecyeon especially
My bestest girl friends
&
not forgetting Zelo and Youngjae who seems to be enjoying the karaoke together
"Babe why are you still here? We're supposed to join the rest downstairs," Jay asked, giving me a back hug, kissing me on the head
Since when he went into the room? I said nothing and just lean against his broad chest.
"Is everything ok?" he asked
I face him and a wide grin appeared on my face, purposelly to make him feel suspicious of me. He frown his eyebrow and give me a curious look.
"Yup, everything is fine. I'm just tired, and I prefer to have some privacy for a while," I told him, brushing off the dust from his coat
He pull me closer to his embrace, securing my waist around his arms. Having me being in his arms is enough to make me feel so bless. Our foreheads are in contact and our lips are only centimetres away from each other.
"You mean, some privacy for the both of us?" he hinted
Time stood still as our lips automatically touches together sweetly, making me forget about everything that happened. He trace his tongue along my bottom lips asking for access. His soft warm lips tasted like mint. I could feel him smiling which made me smile too. It was a lovely sensational kiss that I don't want to end it when....
BANG!!!!!!!!!!
"My goodness what is that?" I asked, feeling so terrifeid by the loud sound
"I don't know, let me check it," Jay said and try to get a glimpse of what had happened outside
"Seems like there is an accident. Come on," he exclaimed and pull me with him
We reach at the open space area and saw people crowding around, women screaming in fear, having horrifying and disgusted expression being plastered on their faces. I dared myself to look at the poor victim while people are whispering to each other about it. I walk pass every people trying to get a better view when I saw Nichkhun and Taecyeon kneeling down, blocking the victim's face. I heard sobs and immediately Nichkhun's tearful eyes met mine.
I rush to them.
"What's wrong? Why are you guys crying?" I asked
Without even answering my question, Taecyeon expose the victim's face to me causing me to root down to the ground and almost stop breathing. Laying right before my eyes is someone whom I've been longing to see.
I broke into tears, unable to hold the great tide of sad emotions I'm experiencing right now seeing Wooyoung laying unconcious on the hard ground, with blood oozing out from his head. Wooyoung's lips is moving desolately as if trying to speak as Taecyeon slowly lift his head up, placing it on his tigh. Taecyeon, quickly uses his hands to cover up the wound to prevent the blood from flowing.
"YAH!!!DON'T JUST STAND THERE!! CALL THE AMBULANCE OR SOMETHING!!! HURRY UP!!!" Jay shouted in agony, breaking into tears as I together with him rush to Wooyoung's side
The four of us went speechless andcried as we hold onto his weak hands hoping to give him strength and pray hard that nothing serious will happen to him. Wooyoung then cough out some blood and try to breath in and out which seems to be so complicated for him to do so.
"Wooyoung!! Yah, can you hear me? Speak, say anything...Anything please....tsk..tskk..," I pleaded
"(coughs)Wow..yo..you..l..loo..look..gor..geous..perfect..for..Jay...Con..cong..cong..ra..tul..a..tions..tsk...tsk...s..so.r.r.y..f..or..be..ing..la..te..(cough)," he lamented, grabbing onto my hands tightly
I cry and hug him on the spot.
"Tskk...tskk..Wooyoung....you don't need to apologise...oh God!! Oh God, you know how much I miss you? How much we misses you? Yah, I miss our moments, all of it. Why do you take such a long time to come back..tskk..tsskk...I'm glad you see you again... Don't you dare be weak.Please hang in there. You're strong arra?" I cried
"Sso..rr..yy for..w..hat..I've...d.one...I de..ser..ve to d..die," he cried
I shake my head telling him other wise.
Narrator's POV
"...I'm...so..rry...all..of..you..tskk..tskk...I'm..s..sorry...Pl..please..for..give..me," Wooyoung wailed as he apologised regretfully
"It's ok..tsk..tsk..we forgive you..now please stay strong for us...ambulance on the way alright? You know I'll always forgive you bro....tsk..tsk...everything is going to be fine..tskkk..Aiish why didn't you tell me you're coming. I could have fetch you!!," Taecyeon sobbed, grabbing his hand tightly
"Ni..Nichkhun(coughs)....," Wooyoung called out
"Tskkk..tsk..stop, don't apologise!! Just don't say anything ok?!!! I forgive you, it's our fault for not spending time with you. I'm sorry bro...tskk...I forgive you..tskk..tsskk promise me to keep breathing, you hear me?" Nichkhun cried
Wooyoung then had his eyes on his friend who he had done so many sins. Weakly he try lifting up his hands having an intention for Jay to grab it. Seeing Wooyoung in this condition, Jay hold onto his hands.
"S..she..ended ...up..w..with.. you in the end huh? I'm...happy..for you..bro..," Wooyoung lamented
"Wooyoung, about what happened before, I'm sorry to involve violence towards you. Listen it's my fault alright? I'm sorry...tsk...tskk.. I regret fighting with you...tsk...tsk.. I miss having a friend like you..I'm sorry for neglecting you and stuffs...can you accept my apology? I'm truly sorry bro. I would want to spend time with you again. Stay strong please," Jay lamented sadly, holding onto his hand tightly
Wooyoung's POV
Relief flood through my entire body after seeking for forgiveness from my friends. At least I manage to smile in this kind of state. No one knows if I will be able to continue life again. My final wish finally come true which is to be with my four beloved friends. My vision starts to get blurer and blurer. I tried to breath harder and harder but it just get complicated for me. I squeeze onto their hands, fighting for breath like the life of a fish being on land.
"I felt bless..having such great friends..like you guys.....Sasha...Jay..Taecyeon...Nichkhun...incase..if anything happens to me....(cough)."
"Yah, stop talking nonsense arra?!!! Nothing will happen to you!!" Sasha cried
"Please..take good care..of each..other...Forgive all of..my sins...I..love..you guys..although I never get..to continue life with four..of my bestest friend...(cough).I de..deserve to..be in an accident..It's..my punishment I..guess for being..too greedy..Last..ly..
"Wooyoung ANDWE!!!! ANDWE!!!" Sasha wailed
"Trust..me..even..tho..though..I've..been..a jerk..
"Wooyoung DON'T YOU DARE CLOSE YOUR EYES!!! DON'T YOU DARE!!TSKK" Nichkhun wailed
"I'..I've never..never..
"WOOYOUNG PLEASE, STOP PRETNEDING TO BE WEAK!!" Taecyeon added
"treat.ed..you..g..guys..as enemies...I..
"WOOYOUNG JAEBAL!! BRO STOP DOING THIS!!" Jay pleaded
"love...you..guys..."
Every second pass and my body is getting weaker. My organs is reducing it's speed. I force my eyes to fight the darkness that is about to surround but fail. In a speed of a ligthning, my vision went black and I don't feel myself functioning anymore.
"WOOYOUNG ANDWE!!!" was the last few words I heard
Narrator's POV
"WOOYOUNG?!!!YAH!! WOOYOUNG!! WE KNOW YOU'RE ACTING!!! YAH!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!!! OMG!! ANDWE!!!! AAARRGGGHHHH!!!!!" all the four friends cried out loud
A few seconds later the ambulance arrive, transferring Wooyoung's body onto the stretcher.
IS THERE HOPE FOR WOOYOUNG?
STAY TUNED FOR THE FINALE!!!
