adore you || nishimura riki

marriage

I wake up, Riki not next to me. A note lies in his place.

"Good morning Love, I'm sorry I can't be beside you at the moment. I know there might be a tiny part of you that is afraid something is going to go wrong. I can't guarantee that everything will go exactly the way you want it, but whatever happens, we'll still end up married at the end of the day. So instead of stressing, look forward to when you get to marry TC Chandler's 18th most handsomest face in the top 100. And kiss him in front of everyone. Make sure you flex your heart out, Love. I love you."

I just get done reading the letter when one of my bridesmaids bursts in.

"YO BESTIE YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED TODAY FOR REAL FOR REAL." Danielle yells at me, jumping up and down. Her and the rest of NewJeans are definitely a perk of my decision to become an idol. I finally made friends who don't want to use me for my brother, which is incredibly refreshing. Plus, through connections, I met Huening Bahiyyih, who absolutely  understands my struggle, we got along immediately and became best friends.

"DANIELLE DID YOU WAKE HER UP? SHE NEEDS BEAUTY SLEEP, TODAY IS THE BIG DAY !!" Minji shouts from downstairs.

"NO SHE WAS READING A NOTE WHEN SHE CAME IN." Bahiyyih yells back, passing through the hallway and peaking in the doorway before so, recieving a quieter, but still loud "Alright then" from Minji. I giggle a bit, fully ready to get up due to the yelling. All of NewJeans plus Bahiyyah are my bridesmaids, Enhypen being Riki's groomsmen. I begged Jay to be a bridesmaid and wear a dress, he respectfully declined, like a loser. Those would've been bussin' wedding photos but no IT'S FINE.

"Robyn, we're leaving in about thirty minutes, I came to suggest you get a shower. To be honest you don't even have to wash your hair since it will be washed and styled later." Hanni states, seemingly appearing out of thin air. I only give her a nod before rushing off to the bathroom. The note is still in hand, I subconsciously took it with me. I look it over before hopping in the shower.

-----------
My hair and makeup are nearly done and I look over my vows a few times more. I kept them short and sweet, they're easier to remember that way and when I say them I'll have a better chance of speaking clearly. I look back to the note Riki wrote me, Bahiyyih walking in to check on me.

"Ooooooh, is that a note from your lover boy?" she asks teasingly, raising her eyebrows up and down as she speaks.

"Yes, it is actually. I don't know what I would do without him." I say, reading over the note once more. I've read and reread this all day today, it gives me little butterflies every time.

My hair and makeup are done after what feels like an entire eternity. My hair is dyed my favourite colour, my makeup light and simple, merely highlighting my features (or maybe youre not wearing any shit idc). I slip into my dress (or tux), the long bottom flowing all around me. I spin around, feeling a little like a princess. I hear knocks at the door, moving my dress so it can't be seen as I stick my head out. My brother is outside, a camera in his hands as Riki and I wanted it filmed. Jay's covering the behind the scenes.

"may we check on the bride ?" he asks. i nod and open the door wider, moving my dress still.

"MY BABY SISTER IS ALL GROWN UP." he yells, then acting like he's crying. i loudly laugh and admire the dress.

"GIVE US A SPIN." Hyein excitedly yells, making all of us jump, especially since she entered so quietly. I smile before quickly spinning, the dress lifting a little as I do so.

"WOOOOOOO!" they all cheer, causing me to laugh loudly again.

I walk over to the dresser again, grabbing the piece of paper and reading it again, Jay coming behind me.

"So how many times have you read that today?" he asks, a smirk on his face knowing it's a lot.

"She's been reading it all day. Literally all day. She's barely put it down." Haerin answers for me, her hand on her hip, clearly depicting her sass. Was it a mistake to get ready for my wedding with all of my bridemaids? Possibly, they do spill the tea to my brother in order to embarass me but I can't help to be proud of my decision. I love my besties.

"YOU SIMP." my brother yells at me before laughing and we're told we need to make our way to the beginnning of the aisle to prepare to walk down it. He turns the camera towards everyone in the dressing room and we all three wave before he turns it off, rushing off to quickly hand it to someone in the rows to film. I shake my hands and begin bouncing on the balls of my feet.

I'm waiting with everyone in the hall, ready to hear the song that cues everyone to start walking.

And just like that I hear it. I take in a breath, looking to my brother, who is walking me down the aisle. We both despise our parents for what they did to us. They caused so much unnecessary pain, emotional damage.

"You'll do just fine, and if it makes you feel any better, he's also incredibly nervous." he whispers, leaning over to me. I simply nod, assuring my posture is straight. It does make me feel better, actually.

It feels like no time when we're at the front, Jay turns to me.

"Ready?"

"Hell yeah."

"Robyn we're in a church-" he starts, I start walking, dragging him behind me to avoid a lecture. My pace slows down upon seeing Riki at the front, huge smiles spreading to both of our faces.

We reach the front, my veil being thrown over to the back of my head, Jay kissing my cheek before joining the other groomsmen. I peek over to my bridesmaids, who give enthusiastic hand gestures.

We quickly say our vows, before moving on to the really boring part.

I space out as the priest starts talking, taking in all of Riki. He looks so good, dressed up, he always has. I come back at a thought. Something about holy macaronis.

"...in holy macaronis?"

"I do." I reply, hearing the wedding officiant say the real thing in the back of my head. I look at Riki again, spacing out once more and only coming back when I hear him respond "I do".

"You may now kiss the bride."

Riki wastes no time in grabbing me by my waist and pulling me close to him, dipping me while he kisses me. When we come back up, I glance over to my brother who has the best shocked face.

I've never seen someone look so violated before.

We all laugh at him, Riki and I descend down the aisle, arms linked, happily married.

------------
We cut the cake and smear icing on each other's faces.

"HEY I WANTED THAT PIECE." I hear sunoo shout.

"WELL IT LOOKS LIKE I GET A BIGGER PIECE NOW MUAHAHHAHAH." I yell back, quickly taking it and beginning to eat it.

I sit at the table, Riki sitting beside me. We eat our cake, when he leans over to whisper to me.

"It's the way that we're the youngest ones, yet still the first to get married."

"For real."
