Mina's P.O.V

The rays of sun threatened to take over the darkness and I was its witness. I hadn't gotten a single minute of sleep but thankfully the cucumbers I placed over my eyes didn't allow the dark bags, that I was so used to during school, appear under my eyes. Another 2 hours passed by and I remembered my make up artist and hair stylist were going to arrive within 30 minutes. I sprung up from my bed when a knock on my bedroom door interupted my thoughts.

"Come in." I said as I stretched next to my bed. My mother walked in with a saddened appearance.
"I'm so sorry Mina. I've been trying to stay strong in this situation but I can only imagine what you're going through. Marrying some guy that your parents chose, not being able to date normally, not-" My mom began to say before I interupted her.
"Omma, don't worry about me. This is Jung Taek Woon we are talking about. My ultimate bias in my early college days. With all the Internet has to offer now-a-days, it's like I've known him since birth. I've gotten to sincerely and legitimately love him like no one else. I'm glad it was him and not some other gross old guy." I said.
"I wouldn't have allowed that. Not even from my grave." She said reguarding the old guy statement. "But it brings me an immense peace to know that this wedding is within two people who love each other and not the collaboration and union of two businesses." She said as she hugged me teary eyed while patting my back. "I'm sorry I made my baby grow up so fast, I'm sorry." She said as my tears joined hers.
"Omma, no matter what I don't resent you, in fact I thank God everyday that I got a mom like you. I love you mom." I said.

We dried up our faces and began our own hectic schedules. My make up artist began her art work at the same time as my hair stylist and I found it soothing enough to doze off.

Leo's P.O.V

I got up at 10:30 am. I had exactly 4 hours before the wedding. I went on a jog, took a shower, and ate breakfast. Nothing could take my mind off of Mina, nothing not even for a split second. I decided to finally put on my tux, get a light touch up, and make my way to the venue. Everything was perfect, just the way I imagined it as a child. When the word child came across my mind, my heart skipped a beat. One day, in the very near future, I was going to have children of my own with that woman. The woman of my dreams, my first love, my only love.
Guests slowly arrived and before I knew it everyone, except Mina and her assistants were here. I greeted everyone individually. Governors, famous athletes, actors and actresses, music producers and singers were all present. This was truly the union of two of the biggest corporations in Korea. It was 30 'til the official ceremony began and I had gotten word that Mina had arrived safely and was in the bride room waiting. I got into position and waited impatiently for my cue. With the wedding song, everybody stood up and clapped at my entrance. I turned around and saw a white veiled figure in the doorway. Strange. Mina hadn't mentioned wearing a veil. She walked down up to me and I began removing the veil only to uncover a wicked smile that did not belong to Mina. The guests began mumbling, including Min Ji's parents.
"Want to know what I did to your bride. Very beautiful by the way." She said causing me to take a step towards the bride room. "Oh, where is the groom going, don't you know we're getting married today." She said then began laughing. "Sorry for the inconvenience ladies and gentlemen, the wedding will now begin." Min Ji announced.
"You're seriously crazy. You need help." I said anxiously for knew not what had happened to my beautiful bride. I began walking down the 3 stairs.
"Where do you think you're going." Min Ji said and suddenly the guests began screaming and ducking. When I turned around sure enough she had a gun. "I said we are getting married today JUNG TAEK WOON!!!!" She began shouting.
She removed the safety and began pulling the trigger. I closed my eyes and I could only think of that family I wanted with Mina. Mina please be well. I heard the shot and waited for the impact. I never felt the shot, instead I heard (with my eyes still closed) something or someone fall in front of me. My only thought at that moment was that Mina had somehow jumped in front of me once again to block the bullet. I was afraid of opening my eyes. Tears began forming and I decided to finally opened my eyes. I could see a white figure witha red stain on the ground. I prayed that it wasn't Mina. When the blur finally focused, it was Min Ji! I looked all around. Had she shot herself? I looked back at the entrance and saw another more familiar figure there. Mina was putting down the recently fired gun and all I could do was run to her.
"That was for shooting my fiance." She whispered in my ear when our bodies finally collided. The police officers were on stand by and had witnessed everything. They took Min Ji to be hospitalized and then jailed for what she had done. We urged the guests to calm down and we resumed the ceremony from the beginning. Again I entered and this time I received more claps than the last. Mina followed right after looking as gorgeous as ever. I couldn't take my eyes off her.

"Do you Jung Taek Woon, take Han Mina as your beloved wife?"
"I do." I responded confidently.
"Do you Han Mina, take Jung Taek Woon to be your beloved husband?"
"I do." She said looking me in the eye.
"With in the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The officiator said and was followed by a crowd of people cheering for witnessing such a kiss.
We turned around and ran towards our just got married car and headed straight to the airport.
