At a wedding

Chapter 1

Somi twirls around in her beautiful wedding gown, happily, while Eunha records her on her phone.

"You look so beautiful." Eunha says.

"Minho will be so mesmerised by you that he won't notice anyone else." Bongsoo gushes.

Somi smiles, radiantly, at her bestfriends. "Thank you. I can't believe this day is finally here."

"You both did wait for a while to finally tie the knot," Eunha points out.

Somi giggles, "I guess, it's your turn next, Eunha."

"That's true." Bongsoo agrees.

Before Eunha can answer someone knocks the door. Bongsoo opens the door. Somi's parents and Seoyun, the wedding planner, walk in.

"We are ready when you are. Minho and his best men are at the altar, already." Seoyun announces.

The girls scream in unison. Somi's parents cover their ears at the outburst.

"Let's do this. I'm so ready." Somi declares enthusiastically.

"Cool. I'll let the priest know. You know the drill, when my assistant gives you the cue, you all move." Seoyun instructs them one last time.

"Seoyun, before you go, I want to thank you. You've done a great job. Everything looks just like I wanted it to." Somi thanks her, sincerely.

Seoyun blushes, not use to being praised like this. "It's my job to give you the wedding of your dreams."

"I know. I just didn't expect it to be this close to what I envisioned." Somi confesses.

Seoyun smiles, "I'm glad you like it. Now, let's get you married!"

They all cheer. Seoyun walks out of the room after taking a last look at the glowing bride, wistfully.

The girls pick up their bouquets of mixed flowers and take up their positions. Eunha first, Bongsoo and then Somi. Somi's parents stand on the either side of her.

Haneul didn't want to come to this wedding. She wanted to stay holed up in her room like she does every weekend and on holidays. That's been her routine for the last 5-6 months. She only came because her childhood friend, Jinsung, needed a date. Jinsung told her that groom is his only good work friend.

All her indifference goes out of the window as soon as she spots him. 'Gosh, He looks so handsome. There's never a moment when he is not handsome.' Haneul tells herself.

But she is afraid to approach him. She knows, she screwed up big time. 'I still love you so much, Tae. I want to try and make it work.' Haneul is hoping her thoughts reach the intended person.

While thinking about him, she bumps into someone. "OMG! I'm so sorry. Oh Sun-unnie, hi!" She recognizes the person she bumped into.

The older woman looks stunned to see her. "Haneul? Hi! I didn't know that you know the couple." Sunhee asks her, indirectly.

"No, I don't. I just here to keep my friend company." She points at her friend. "Sun-unnie, this is Im Jinsung. Jinsung, this is Lee Sunhee." She introduces them.

Sunhee and Jinsung shake hands. Sunhee smiles at him, "Nice to meet you."

"Same here." Jinsung answers politely.

"Did you come alone?" Haneul asks Sunhee.

"No, I came with Seokjin oppa and Kara but I can't seem to find them now. God knows, where they disappeared off too." She replies, exasperatedly.

"Oh! Why don't you join us? You can go back to them after you find them." Haneul suggests.

"I don't want to intrude." Sunhee doesn't want to bother her if she is having a good time.

Haneul looks straight into her eyes, "Unnie, you're not intruding."

Sunhee looks at Jinsung to see if he disagrees with Haneul but he seems to be okay with it.

Sunhee agrees, "Okay."

Haneul lets out a little cheer. Sunhee giggles at the other woman's actions.

"So, how have you been? Since you know..." Sunhee enquires.

"I'm fine." Haneul says sadly.

"She's lying. She is sad all the time. That's why I brought her here." Jinsung answers on her behalf.

Haneul protests, "Shut up! I've not been that bad."

"Please! You are miserable and you are making everyone around you miserable." He states, plainly.

Haneul looks down, "That... maybe right."

Sunhee places her hand on Haneul's shoulder, "I'm sorry. I hope you feel better soon."

"I'm sorry too. I wish I could take back the things I did." Haneul says sadly.

Sunhee pulls her into a side hug. "Have you tried talking to him?"

"He doesn't want to talk to me. He told me that he never wants to see my face ever again." She frowns at the ground.

"Its been quite some time. I'm sure he'll listen to you, if you try." Sunhee tries to console her. "That is if you want to get back together with him."
