CHAPTER 17

-At Jongin and Hemi's wedding-

Kyungsoo was anticipating Eunmi's presence. He arrived three hours before the wedding to have the opportunity to talk to her, unfortunately he has not seen a glimpse of the lady he wished to see. Jongin has told him Eunmi might probably be with Sonbi assisting Hemi with her preparations.

He was standing with the rest of the groom's men, Baekhyun and Jongin, who looked nervous but glowing with happiness. They were waiting at the hallway leading to the garden where the ceremony is going to be held. He is truly happy for his timid friend but his mind was elsewhere.

Instead of joining his friends in their chatter, he started pacing nervously back and forth, formulating the things he would like to tell to Eunmi. He wanted to honestly confess in inconspicuous manner, yet wanted to also convey his true feelings for her. His mind was so messed that his handsome face looked lost.

Jongin noticed Kyungsoo's action. He approached him, "I believe I'm the one getting hitched today." saying in a light voice trying to calm him.

"I'm afraid." Kyungsoo outrightly confessed.

"I could tell." his bestfriend patted his shoulders.

Kyungsoo was nervous as hell. How are you going to convince a lady that you did not mean harm when you took advantage of her when she was drunk but treasured it actually? However hard he analyze it in different angles still it was not right. Kyungsoo ran his fingers on his windswept hair while Jongin continued patting his shoulders.

"I'm sorry I'm ruining your mood here. Dude, I'm very happy you're getting married today, really..." he solemnly told Jongin.

"None taken. I totally understand you, my friend. Though, I won't be able to help you once I'm in my honeymoon. It will all depend on you now. However, if something happens do not hesitate to call me. What are friends for. And there's Baekhyun as well." Jongin said.

He managed to tell Baekhyun last night after arriving back to the office. Like Jongin, Baekhyun advised Kyungsoo to tell Eunmi immediately to end his misery and enjoy being in love with someone.

At least the weather was crisp and dry, the atmosphere was really perfect for the joyous occasion. It gave him a little bit of courage.

Guests, family friends and relatives were already seated out in the garden waiting for the wedding to start. He could see prominent men and women, politicians and some celebrities including his father communing away with glass wines in their hands.

Baekhyun suddenly came in between the two of them and put his arms on their shoulders. "Hey, hey, hey! What's with the sad face, you guys? Don't tell me Jongin you're planning to run away?!"

Looking to Kyungsoo, "What's up? Did someone die?" he comically said flashing his megawatt smile.

Jongin annoyingly shot him a look. He was about to open his mouth when the wedding coordinator arrived.

"Places everybody!" the coordinator announced clapping his hands.

Kyungsoo gave Baekhyun a knowing look then looked at Jongin. Baekhyun instantly knew and patted him on the back.

"It will be alright, Kyungsoo-ah. Fighting! Jongin-ah, fighting!" Laughed Baekhyun. He knew both of his bestfriends are worried at their own situations.

The entourage instantaneously assembled in place as the pianist and violinist started playing in the background. Jongin with his parents will come out first, followed by the rest of them.

Kyungsoo still hasn't seen the form of Eunmi. He craned his neck as tall as he can see to check where she situated herself. Suddenly, someone tapped him from behind. He turned around.

"Hi! I believed you're the best man? I'm the maid of honour. You do remember me, don't you Mr. Do? I'm Cha Eunmi." with twinkle in her eyes she smiled as she extends one hand whilst holding her rose bouquet in the other.

Kyungsoo was completely enthralled by her beauty. It felt like time stopped for him as soon as he saw her.

Feeling the same fast beatings of his heart, he can only stare. She wore a light make-up with her hair fashionably styled framing her radiant face. Her big black-brown round orbs adorned by fairly, long curly lashes. Her sensual lips gloriously smiled at him. The off-shouldered fuschia coloured gown showing little cleavage hugged her lithe curves pretty well.

He held his hand on hers, feeling the same tingling sensation of that fateful night.

Eunmi frowned at their contact and immediately released her hand. "A-Actually, I was supposed to inform you during the contract signing but... but something came up." she stuttered.

Kyungsoo felt sorry for their handshake lasted barely three seconds. If he can only hold her hands, if he only can take her away from there. Envelop her with his embrace, kiss her forever...

'Damn!' He mentally cursed himself. He is at his bestfriend's wedding for god's sake!

Eunmi peered at him with hesitant smile on her face. 'Why does he seem strange everytime we meet?' she thought remembering the time during the contract signing.

"I...I'm sorry. I cannot help but stare, you're absolutely beautiful!" he stammered. "By the way, call me Kyungsoo."

Finally, he is face to face with her. The place look like paradise but seeing her felt he was in heaven.

Eunmi shyly lowered her blushing face. He liked the way her already pink cheeks turned crimson. She uttered a small thank you.

The wedding co-ordinator motioned for them to go next after Sehun and Yeji, walked off to the aisle.

"Shall we go?" He offered his arm for her to hold. "Uncle Kim told me about the problem with one of your accounts. I also just learned that night you'll be the maid of honour." he said composedly whilst looking at her.

She nodded. They started walking down to the make-shift altar when it was their turn.

Kyungsoo cannot keep himself from looking at her all the time. Eunmi walked somewhat apprehensively aware of the man's constant gaze at her, nevertheless glowing with pride. Somehow, his stares send shivers down her spine in an elated way.

Kyungsoo was dismayed when Eunmi unhooked her arm from his as they neared the altar and took her place next to the mothers. He begrudgingly did the same standing behind the groom next to the fathers.

Kyungsoo managed to pay his full attention in front although he was imagining him and Eunmi up in the altar having a wedding of their own.
