Chapter 24

Penelope POV
Oh my gosh we're planning a wedding! Soooo romantic! If only Yuzu were here... I miss him. I shake myself out of the melancholia that threatens to enclose it's tentacles around me. I'm supposed to be happy. And I am. Eee! I get to plan and wedding and-

"... Penelope, Emily and Ember, you can be my bridesmaids," Serena announces, and I'm filled with joy, "and Beverly, you can be my maid of honour."

Beverly looks so happy. I go over and jump up and down and squeal, clutching her shoulders. She just looks bemused at my excitement.

"Siddown," Serena waves a hand at me, "We're in the limo for god's sake."

"Oh, yeah sorry..." I hurry back to my seat, still ecstatic.

Jimin looks around at his friends, deciding which one will be his best man, "Jungkook... I'd be honoured if you'd be my best man."

Junk grins, "Heck yeah!"

We pull up outside the bridal and formal wear super store and clamber out. We go inside and the attendant looks startled to see two kpop groups and the president enter.

"Uh... hi," he begins nervously, "How may I help you...?"

"We're getting married," Serena informs him, rocking her baby - who she hasn't had time to name (I suggested a tonne of good names but she shot them all down) - at the same time, "I need a dress and Jimin here needs a suit. So does his best man, and my bridesmaids need dresses too."

"Oh wow... uh... congrats!?" he grins sheepishly, "Uh... gentlemen, if you'll step this way, I'll fit you up for fancy suits. Ladies, my colleague Nancy will be with you in a sec. Nancy!?"

"Yeah...?" comes the muffled reply from behind the staffroom door.

"Got some ladies for you to fit up!" he calls back, before turning to Jimin, Junk and the rest of BTS who are loitering around, "Okay, lads, let's get you suited up. C'mon, Nance!"

"Okay... just a sec," Nancy replies, shuffling around behind the door.

He leads BTS over to the men's section, leaving Beverly, Serena, Emily, Ember and I waiting for this elusive 'Nancy'. Eventually, she emerges, and I'm not disappointed. She is clearly a master of being sexy and stylish.

"Hey, so, whatcha lookin' for?" She asks coolly, "Like, style, colour...?"

"White for me, obviously," Serena says, "No idea about style... I'll have a look."

We look around at the various dresses available and Serena inspects them all closely. In the end, she selects a strapless slinky dress with a trailing mantle of silk and lace coming down from the waist and falling around her feet. She decided to go without the veil - too distracting. Or, in her words, "Fucking annoying."

Nancy fits her up and sets the dress aside for her, then turns to the rest of us, "Alright, who's maid of honour?" Beverly raises her hand. Nancy beams, then turns back to Serena, "Alrighty then, what kinda colour or style're you thinking for her?

"Slinky dress," Serena proclaims, "With a slightly shorter mantle than my dress - maybe to like, the mid-calf." Nancy nods and shows them a selection.

She seems to like slinky dresses a lot. Not that I mind - they're cool and sexy and oh my god Yuzu wouldn't be able to resist me. I miss Yuzu- No! No, focus, Penelope. I take a deep breath.

"Alright," Nancy shrugs, indicating the dresses, "What colour?"

"Uh... pale pink," Serena decides, "Then I want the bridesmaids to be in, like, coral pink with a mid-thigh mantle."
