I was breathing too fast. My heart was pattering in my chest like a caged bird. I could hear the large crowd of people behind the door. My mind went back to the funeral. I hadn't made it then. How was I supposed to make it now? How was I supposed to be a queen? My mother had been right in what she said. I wasn't cut out for this. I was going to fail everyone and-
"Why did you want a purple dress again? Do you even like purple?" Dani looked skeptical.
"Stop judging me!" I folded my arms. "Everything else I own is a dull colour, I want Yoongi to know this is the boldest choice I have ever made. Red is too stereotypical. Blue is too solemn. Orange is too vibrant. Purple means stability, it means forever. And that's what today is about."
I started to fan myself. I could not pass out. Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket...
"Hey girl." Dani was too far away, holding onto my ridiculously long train. It had seemed like a good idea in theory, but now I was sure it would be my demise and I would trip and fall and possibly die. I hoped if I fell I died. Then I wouldn't have to live with the shame. "You got this. Remember last year?"
I knew what she was talking about. I had sung the national anthem in front of the entire school. It had been nerve wrecking and I had cried after but I had done it. I could do this too. The doors started to open and I gave her a panicked stare. She motioned for me to turn around and I obeyed.
One foot at a time. I could do this. I could feel all their eyes on me and I didn't dare look at them, but I couldn't keep staring at my bouquet like an idiot. I looked up and saw the boys all grinning and beaming at me. Then I met Yoongi's eyes and everything faded away. He had a soft smile resting on his lips and eyes were filled with a light that warmed me and made all the fear dissipate.
He was my anchor.
I walked towards him and every step closer to him felt like a piece of me coming home. I approached him and he held out his hands to me. I took them and we stood staring into each other's eyes, barely listening to the woman speaking next to us.
I felt whole. I felt complete. Everything I needed was right here in my grasp. I didn't know what the future held for us but I knew as long as he was with me, I could endure it all.
"Will you become one with this woman?" The lady next to us asked in a warm, welcoming tone.
"I will." Yoongi smiled at me.
"Will you become one with this man?" She looked at me with kind eyes and I grinned at her.
"I will." I looked back at Yoongi who was radiating brightness.
"Then seal your marriage with a kiss!" She shouted happily.
Yoongi let go of my hand and put an arm on my back and the other on my waist. He dipped me and pressed his lips to mine. I smiled as my lips moved against him. People were cheering but the sound faded away and there was nothing but him.
"I will love you until the end of time itself." He whispered in my ear. I smiled and put my hand on his cheek.
Yoongi was the centre of my universe, the one thing I revolved and continually came back to. In my life nothing had ever seemed solid, but that was because I had been far from home.
He was my home now.
He was my universe.
He was my sun.
My star Min Yoongi.
