CHAPTER 41

VACATION DAY:

JONGIN'S POV:

Sehun, Aryana, Zyanya and I are calming the not so calm Baekhyun. "How will it go, I'm scared. Will she like it, Gosh I'm so done if she'll like it or not. What if she doesn't love me". We all look at each other and sigh. "Baekhyun Calm down". "I can't. Aksnonvwm I just can't". He messes his hair and sits on the bed. Seren and Kyungsoo come into the room. "What's wrong with him". Seren whispers. "He's nervous". She shakes her head laughing softly. "I thought Kyungsoo would be the one who would be nervous in confessing his love for me while Baekhyun would be the one who would just go and tell "I love you" on the face. But I see it's exactly the opposite". We stifle a laugh. "What's there to laugh, I'm sweating like a dog in 40 degrees heat and you guys are laughing gosh". We burst out laughing while Seren controls her laugh seeing her best friend all messed up. 

"Seren what do I do, please tell me, will she like it, will she not, does she have any preferences, does she want chocolates, teddies, flowers, tell me please". He paces back and forth and says panting which makes Seren pant as well while trying to calm her best friend down. She paces back and forth as well. "Hyunie calm down. It's perfect. Don't worry". "How do I look; do I look okay? Is it shabby, too much?" Seren sighs and holds Baekhyun by his arms stopping him from pacing back and forth. "Gosh, you made me feel dizzy. Aren't you feeling dizzy going back and forth?". He scratches the back of his neck. "Yeah, I do". She smiles in a matter-of-fact style. "You are right? So, sit on the bed and take deep breaths". He does what she says like an obedient child. He takes deep breaths. "How did you confess to Seren so smoothly Soo?". 

Soo chuckles. "I'm not sure how I did but it just happened. I didn't care if that was the right moment or not. All that mattered was to express the feeling deep inside my heart". They look at each other and smile. Now that's something that each one of us finds adorable. Sehun notices how tensed Baekhyun was and how bit by bit he's getting relaxed. He looks at Sehun and me asking for more tips. Sehun and I look at each other and then look at our wives. They smile. "Sometimes when actions can't express how you feel, your words can. To be honest, when Aryu confessed, I could sense that she was nervous. I'm sure she had questions like does he feel the same towards me, what if I get rejected. What if he likes someone else, etc but she just wrote I love you Jongin and 10 reasons why she's in love with me on a piece of paper, folded it to make a paper aeroplane out of it and made it fly so that it could reach me. Cute, isn't it? There wasn't any romantic setup done for proposing, just words. Though Actions speak louder than words, sometimes it's vice versa". Baekhyun nods. Zyanya goes and sits beside Baekhyun. He looks at Zyanya. 

"Naomi is a romantic at heart, at the same time she's really simple. She doesn't like being too much for anything. So don't worry alright. We did all that you told". Baekhyun smiles and nods. "We kept pics right from your marriage day till recent days. Converted them all into polaroid pics. Only your memories have to be written". I smile and hand him the envelope of the polaroid pics. He plans to make a memory lane as they always had a book where they wrote all the memories. Baekhyun has a gentle smile plastered on his face while looking carefully at the pictures. Sehun gets a call. "Oh, it's Loey". He answers the call and puts it on speaker. "Baekhyun, the dress you bought for Naomi is a perfect fit. She's in love with it". Baekhyun smiles widely.

 "That's great. Thank goodness it's according to her liking". We all smile. "Hyunie, don't worry. It will go as you planned". Seren says. "Exactly" Loey adds. We look at the time. Shoot it's 8:00 am. "Guys we better start now, or else we'll miss the cruise". "Are we all set?". "Yeah" Soo responds. We lock the room and go out. Our eyes meet the girls' team. Ah... Sehun, Zyanya, Soo, Seren, Aunt and dad are Baekhyun's team. Aunt Charlotte and Dad are siblings so why not. Whereas Minseok, Sereia, Yixing, Siofra, Chanyeol, Rhian, Uncle Junmyeon and mom are Naomi's team. Little did he know even Naomi loves him too. Mom and Uncle Junmyeon are siblings as well. 1,2,3... We push Naomi and Baekhyun towards each other and run from there. Things are going to be fun hehe. Naomi has different plans for Seren about which she is completely unaware.
