Chapter 2
Our Arranged MarriageKrystal POV:
This is it, the day where I am a fully committed woman and become 'Mrs. Kang', it still does scare me that I'm stepping into this marriage. The future is certainly unclear, but it's always a good thing to look on the bright side
In a few hours, I will be walking down the aisle and soon enough, I'm no longer a Jung. During the preparations, I wasn't much help. My parents and also Minhyuk's parents had everything in their hands. I just needed to be measured for the dress and so did Minhyuk
As I was getting my makeup done, Minhyuk came into the room and excused him and I to go outside and have a talk for a bit. I feel odd about but I just went anyways. My relationship with Minhyuk drastically changed. We were much closer and we even started to call each other, husband and wife as a pet name.
"You look pretty, wife." Minhyuk says sweetly, smiling. I unknowingly blushed and smiled as well
"I should take that as a compliment then, husband. You also look handsome yourself. Very charming" I replied, smiling. I noticed that his tie was out place and I fixed it, placing it to where it suppose to be. As I was fixing his tie, I could sense that Minhyuk was staring at me intently
"What are you staring at?" I said, after finishing fixing his tie, he starts to chuckle
"Nothing. My wife is sure caring. Thanks for fixing it, wife." Minhyuk says, I rolled my eyes but i still managed to smile. Minhyuk starts to gently pinch my cheek but I moved away
"Aye, don't ruin my make up." I said, slightly glaring at him. Minhyuk starts to laugh hard and continues to do it
"The make up artists can fix it. You don't have to worry." Minhyuk says, I roll my eyes
"I think you should leave now and let me finish getting ready. I'll see you later, husband." I said, pushing him away, he starts to roar up a laughter. Finally leaving, I went back inside the room to finish getting ready
Finishing up my makeup and hair, I got help on putting the wedding dress. It was a beautiful yet simple dress, I personally asked to keep it simple and not to make it extravagant
"My dear daughter is looking very lovely. How are you feeling sweetheart? Excited? Nervous?" My mother says, gently placing her hand on my shoulders. I turn around and smiled
"I'm scared, mother. I don't know where this marriage will lead us. I'm scared and nervous" I honestly replied, she grabs my hand and gently holds it
"Trust in yourself and Minhyuk. I'm sure you'll be fine. He will take care of you." Mother says, I just nod.
"Come on, smile. It's your wedding day. You should be smiling and don't sulk. If your still nervous and scared, always know that I'm here. I love you and I always will." Mother says, I can see that she was resisting herself from crying
I took in a deep breath and hoped that everything will be alright. My mother smiled as she cupped my cheek, I held her hand and smile as well. Without wasting anytime, I pulled her into a tight hug. I suddenly felt the need to cry and soon enough, the tears flowed down my face
"Why are you crying now? Hey, don't be sad. Be happy, okay? I love you, always." Mother said, wiping away my tears and placing a gentle kiss on my forehead
With the finishing the touches, the wedding was about to start. My heart suddenly started to beat its fastest. Before the door opened, I took in a deep breath
The music starts to play and the door slowly opens. I was cued to walk and as I walked, my hands were shaking as I hold the bouquet. Getting closer to the alter, I could see Minhyuk standing, smiling
"Are you ready?" Minhyuk whispers as I reached him. I slightly nodded my head, he wrapped his hand around my waist as we made way to the front
After much talking and the process in between, it was ending soon. The only thing missing is the kiss.
"You may now kiss the bride"
I suddenly started to shake, my heart to started to race even faster than earlier. Was I suppose to feel this way? Is this the feeling I'm suppose to get?
I looked at Minhyuk and he was slowly removing the veil off my face and he started to move his face closer to mine. Just inches away, I closed my eyes. Before I knew it, his lips touched mine.
The kiss was utterly sweet, it was if my lips and his matched each other. Although the kiss was short, I could feel butterflies in my stomach. When he let go, I slowly opened my eyes and I could feel my face turning red
I touched my face a bit and sure enough, it was hot. As I was doing so, I could hear him chuckling. I looked at him and he was smiling his widest.
We turned to the crowd and cheers and loud praises can be heard. I wasn't aware that Minhyuk grabbed my hand and gently hold it as we walked down. Flowers were thrown and I felt overwhelmed
"So I can finally call you my wife now?" I hear Minhyuk whisper to me. I laughed and nodded.
"Then I can finally do this" Minhyuk says, stopping us from walking and making me face him. He came closer, I was honestly expecting a kiss on the cheek or something but instead, he pinched my cheek
"YA! What was that for? Are you seriously my husband or my nephew?" I said, furrowing my eyebrows, he can only laugh
"Sorry wife. And of course, I'm your husband. No one else, right? Just me." He says, I rolled my eyes
"Sure, you're the only one." I said in a teasing tone, smiling. He shakes his head but still laughs
As we arrived to the reception area, before taking our seats, we greeted everyone who came. As I greeted them, I got was full of compliments and praises. There was a particular comment that hasn't left my mind yet
"You and Minhyuk should start planning on having a baby soon. I'll be very happy, if that ever happens in the near future." One of Minhyuk's aunt said, I could only give a shy smile. This isn't even real, so why give it a chance?
After greeting everyone, I finally took my seat and thought hard about what she said. A baby? That's impossible, me and Minhyuk are not even in a serious relationship. We are just friends, nothing else
"Hey, is something bothering you?" Minhyuk asks. He must have noticed that I was quiet, so as a response, I shook my head and slightly smiled.
"If anything is bothering you, I'm here. You know, as your husband, I should take care of you, it's my job. So tell me anything, okay?" Minhyuk says with concern. I nodded
"Thanks." I said, I wasn't ready to tell him what his aunt said, it might be too personal and plus, it's still the first day of this 'marriage'
