50 Shades of Park Jimin

Chapter 2

Jimin's parents have set up the marquee again and beautifully decorated in pale pink, silver and ivory with its sides open, facing the bay. We have been blessed with fine weather, and the late afternoon sun shines over the water. There's a dance floor at one end of the marquee, a lavish buffet at the other.

"You may kiss the bride," Reverend Walsh announces.
I beam at my husband.

"Finally, you're mine," he whispers and pulls me into his arms and kisses me chastely on the lips.

I am married. I am Mrs. Park.

"You look beautiful, Y/n," he murmurs and smiles, his eyes glowing with love. . .and something darker, something hot. "Don't let anyone take that dress off but me, understand?" His smile heats a hundred degrees as his fingertips trail down my cheek, igniting my blood.

Holy crap. . .How does he do this, even here with all these people staring at us?

I nod mutely. Jeez, I hope no one can hear us. Luckily Reverend Walsh has discreetly stepped back. I glance at the throng gathered in their wedding finery. My mom, Ray, Bob, and the Parks are all applauding---even Kate, my maid of honor, who looks stunning in pale pink as she stands beside Jimin's best man, his brother Jin. Who knew that even Jin could scrub up so well? All wear huge, beaming smiles---except Jimin's mother, who weeps graciously into a dainty white handkerchief.

"Ready to party, Mrs. Park?" Jimin murmurs, giving me his shy smile. I melt. He looks divine in a simple black tux with silver waistcoat and tie. He's so. . .dashing.

"Ready as I'll ever be." I grin, a totally goofy smile on my face.

Ray and my mother are dancing and laughing with each other. I feel bitter sweet watching them together. I hope Jimin and I last longer. I don't know what I'd do if he left me. Marry in haste, repent at leisure. The saying haunts me.

Kate is beside me, looking so beautiful in her long silk gown. She glances at me and frowns. "Hey, this is supposed to be the happiest day of your life," she scolds.

"It is." I whisper.

"Oh, Y/n, what's wrong? Are you watching your mom and Ray?"

I nod sadly.

"They're happy."

"Happier apart."

"You're having doubts?" Kate asks, alarmed.

"No, not at all. It's just...I love him so much." I freeze, unable or unwilling to articulate my fears.

"Y/n, its obvious he adores you. I know you had unconventional start to your relationship, but I can see how happy you've both been over the past month." She grasps my hands, squeezing them. "Besides, it's too late now," she adds with a grin.

I giggle. Trust Kate to point out the obvious. She pulls me into a Katherine Kavanagh Special Hug. "Y/n, you'll be fine. And if he hurts one hair on your head, he'll have me to answer to." Releasing me, she grins at whoever is behind me.

"Hi, baby." Jimin puts his arm around me, surprising me, and kisses my temple. "Kate," he acknowledges. He's still cool toward her even after six weeks.

"Hello again, Jimin. I'm off to find your best man, who happens to be my best man, too." With a smile to us both, she heads over to Jin, who is drinking with her brother Ethan and our friend Jungkook.

"Time to go," Jimin murmurs.
"Already? This is the first party I've been to where I don't mind being the center of attention." I turn in his arms to face him.

"You deserve to be. You look stunning, Y/n."

"So do you."

He smiles, his expression heating. "This beautiful dress becomes you."
