Chapter 43

"Lilly? Are you alright?"

I looked up to see Joongi Oppa looking at me with a worried expression.

"Oppa, I'm fine," I said smiling.

"Isn't this one beautiful?" he asked, holding up a wedding gown.

Joongi Oppa picked me up today to go look around for flowers and dresses. I didn't exactly want to go. The event two days ago with Jeon Jungkook was still fresh in my mind. But I couldn't let that ruin my relationship with Joongi...right? I tried to push everything to the back of my head now and tried to focus on what Joongi was trying to show me.

I looked at the gown that Joongi had in his hands. It was strapless and very elegant...but it wasn't what I was looking for.

"Oppa...it's very beautiful...but it doesn't fit me," I said smiling.

"It is a little bit too much huh?" he asked, putting it back.

He went off muttering to himself as he went to a different aisle. I just walked around looking at a few dresses here and there.

I was about to walk into a different aisle when something suddenly caught my eye. I walked back a few steps and took a dress out of the many others surrounding it. It was simple, very simple. But it was beautiful with its one inch straps and soft look. It was long with a short tail. It had no other designs or sequence to it.

"You like this one?" Joongi asked, coming up behind me.

"Wow Miss...this dress is old," the sales lady said smiling at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, still looking at it.

"This was one of the popular ones which we showcased six years ago. This is our last dress of this design," the lady said.

**FLASHBACK**

It was beautiful...

Simple...yet elegant at the same time.

It was so pretty...

"What are you looking at?" a voice asked behind me.

I turned suddenly to see Jungkook staring at me. I turned my head, blushing as I pulled him away.

"Nothing Oppa," I said. "Let's go."

"Alright," he said, not noticing anything.

I smiled as we walked hand-in-hand away from the wedding store.

**END FLASHBACK**

This dress...was the same dress...I saw when I was with Jeon Jungkook.

I remember now...

I vowed to myself...that if I married Jungkook, that I would marry him in this gown...

"Jieun? Do you like it? Let's get it," Joongi Oppa said.

"I'll help you package it up—" the lady started.

"NO!" I said quickly. "I mean...no...I don't like it..."

"But—" Joongi started.

"Let's go look at some more over there," I said, putting the dress back quickly.

Joongi gave her a look but then nodded.

After a few tries, we gave up and decided to take a break. Actually...it was me who gave up. Who knew that searching for these kinds of things would take this long?

"Are you feeling alright?" Joongi asked, looking at me.

"Nae, Oppa. Why do you ask?" I asked, looking at him.
