"You still have the time to rethink this..." Yumi casually suggested as if she was talking about the weather. After dropping a bomb, she proceeded to unloaded some folding metal chairs from her car. Being the gentleman I was, I followed along to help her while Y/N was given time to do some thinking. We did the task of setting up the chairs quickly with each other's support. "Oh, my God! Y/N, you gotta stop thinking because he's a nice guy, a little dumb though." 

"He's smarter than what he appears to be at the first sight..." Y/N initiated an eye contact until we both shied away. Her beautiful bouquet of roses and forget me nots caught my attention instantly when she lifted it to hide her face behind it. 

"Then don't rethink your decision of marrying me... please?" I hesitantly peeped above my feet to see her blush at the request. "Though, why here and why now?"

"I'm making up for the date you planned and I ruined." She took a step closer to me, the bouquet held down near her waist, but before we could zip the distance, Taehee, along with a rather holy person accompanied us.

A man clothed in different hues of white from head to toe ran towards us while almost tripping in his cassock but still shouting, "Yo, peeps! Your handsome priest is here!" His informal ways of addressing us made him look much lesser of a priest. "How do I look?" He asked while posing in front of Y/N.

"I couldn't recognise you at first!" Y/N held her stomach and oddly started laughing with a stranger. "But this moustache looks so fake, Jungkook." She plucked it out effortlessly, leaving the poor man crippling in pain.

"Wha—Jungkook!?" I exclaimed, making him turn around proudly to face me and continue flexing his cosplay skills. "You're sure you won't getting sued for doing this?" I slightly tugged at his clothes, laughing until my stomach started aching.

"Hey, stop underestimating me! My grandfather was a priest." He solemnly fixed the cross he wore around his neck. When we looked at him in awe, he threw his hands up in defeat. "Okay, maybe I'm just lying." 

"Watch that mouth of yours. Priests aren't allowed to lie." She marked the unsaid rules and Jungkook was gullible enough to believe her and started pleading for forgiveness. 

Y/N and I walked down an imaginary aisle hand in hand. Jungkook pulled out his phone to read the script. "So I stayed up whole night watching strangers kiss— Like, I watched some wedding clips to know what a priest actually does so you can't say I'm naïve. I even prepared a script, get ready for the best wedding of your life." He raised his wrist in the air with the overflowing confidence.

"I don't know why I'm here... We always do boring stuff in Busan!" Taehee annoyedly took off the makeshift tiara Jungkook made for her by plucking the grass and some low-lying flowers. 

"Don't worry, kiddo, I'll take you out after your parents get married. I'm aunt Yumi by the way." Yumi smiled her widest smile while extending a hand in friendship, only to get rejected by the kid.

"Dada..." She tried to hide behind Taehyung who only made her task difficult by pushing her forward and forcing her to socialize. She took Yumi's hand and shook it faintly. "I miss Yeontan..."

Y/N clasped my hand, her highlighted eyes looking into mine with an excitement of new beginnings while Jungkook kept reciting the verses. "This is where I shut up and you two say your vows. Let's gotta get that!" 

"I'm not prepared." I felt bad for giving up already but I was not told about my wedding before, you can't blame me.

"Don't worry, I'll search up something for you— Ow, why did you kick me!?" He stopped mid sentence when Y/N lifted her gown to kick him hard.

"Why would he copy paste a vow on his wedding!? I'm going first, if you cannot say something about our relationship then I call this wedding off." The way she threatened me took my agitation to another level. Jungkook didn't argue and gave her an invisible mic. "1-2-3 Mic check." She shyly looked at me before starting. "Kim Taehyung, a beautiful name that means... all the... wishes—wait, what the fuck did his name mean?!" She switched from being shy to confused in moments as she looked at Yumi expecting her to mouth an answer.

"We practiced this for two whole days with me even sacrificing my face by sticking a picture of Taehyung and pretending to be him!" Yumi yelled at her making her all the way more embarrassed and nervous than she already was.

"No wonder why she still forgot her vow." I rolled my eyes to defend Y/N from Yumi's harsh critics. "I know what my name means. Now, continue." Placing my hands on her shoulder, I grinned at her to make her feel comfortable.

She nodded her head and cleared her throat before starting again. "I've tripped and fallen uncountable times, but the only time I didn't feel the pain was when I fell in love with you. The weather may not be at its best today and we have literally two guests and a fake priest." She scoffed while pointing at Jungkook who bowed at the mention. "but what still makes me believe in our future is your happiness. As we hold hands and promise to love each other uncontrollably, I vow to always stand close to you when you're trying to get over your past and also when you finally win this battle. I vow to always have your back and love you more than I love food. I got you, Kim Taehyung, and I'll try all I can to never let us fall apart."

Yumi struggled to hold in her tears while watching her bestfriend speak her vows. "This... this is not what we practiced for... I loved the ad-libs." Yumi pinched the bridge of her nose to stop herself from crying. 

I was automatically expected to speak well so I let my heart do all the work. "Y/N, you're like a whole different world, a place where you make everything seem possible. You are my happy place. I don't even mind getting insulted as long as it's coming from you." I gazed down at her eyes which lit up as she giggled. "Partners are meant to be each other's strength. Our pasts are inevitable, but you taught me to stop running away from it or make an attempt to avoid something which should be fought head on, but that's not where I want us to stop. Let me lift your spirit and love you until all your fears disappear. This journey may not be smooth at all the times but I promise to never let go of your hands, even when it gets hard for us. I'll love you more everyday, Y/N"

Her eyes brimmed with tears as she said, "I am absolutely not crying." I stopped her hand before she could rub her eyes and smudge the pretty eye-makeup.

Jungkook smiled like a proud father as he scrolled through his script to read the last line. "With the power vested in me, I pronounce you as married couples. You may now kiss each other."

I rubbed the nape of my neck while looking sideways at Taehee and then at Jungkook. He got the signs and whined before pressing a hand against his eyes. Yumi covered Taehee's eyes with her hand and waited for the show to begin.

After a brief eye contact, I gently leaned in to kiss her with no uncertainty in our heads. We exchanged genuine smiles between the kiss but then she said, "I still want my salary."

"Guys, you can open your eyes. We're done!" I quickly said while dismissing her greed. 

"Congratulations, you two!" Jungkook pulled me in a hug way too tight as though he tried to crush my bones. "You'll never find a priest like me so make sure you cherish each other well!"

"Y/N!" Yumi shouted before wrapping her hands around Y/N and weeping bitterly. I swear I heard Jungkook whisper 'so cute'. "I feel so sad for Taehyung-ssi!" She stated that as a reason for crying. "Jokes apart, please take care of her. She keeps tripping over nothing so hold her close to you." We thought her sweet, little, caring speech was over but to prove us wrong, she added: "And you too, Y/N, don't be too dominant."

"Can... you... please... stop... speaking?" Y/N facepalmed while cringing over Yumi's bad timing. "Also, take this bouquet. I know you asked me to throw the bouquet but I'll rather just hand this over to you and ask God to get you a nice husband. There aren't many people to catch the bouquet, you see?" Y/N stuck out the bouquet in front of Yumi who wasn't sealing the deal.

"I'll try." Jungkook calmly helped Yumi's protest. Y/N shrugged and got ready to throw the bouquet. Yumi had a tough competition but to her good luck or maybe bad luck, the bouquet came flying to her face. Jungkook caught the bouquet before it could hit her but Yumi was well prepared too.

"Uhm...hi. I'm J-Jungkook?" He sounded as if he was asking for her confirmation to continue. "We caught it together."

Yumi had her fingers curled around the bouquet while Jungkook wrapped his fingers around her. "Jungkook? I'm Yumi." The flowers were long forgotten when their eyes met and the world stopped.

Amidst the surrounding chuckles, a thought crossed my mind and I turned around to look at the Tree. The leaves danced with happiness and unknowingly, it became a part of our celebration.

With the sensation of Y/N's hand suddenly creeping up to my shoulder, I spared one last glance at the Tree before moving forward with Y/N and we began a new journey after a happy ending.

Also!!! Maybe that's how Jungkook and Yumi's love story sprouted in between all the chaos.
