Beauty Next Door (vsoo)

[35]

The wedding day was finally here, and everything was coming together in a whirlwind of excitement. The air was electric with anticipation, but beneath the frenzied preparations, there was a sense of calm radiating from the groom, Taehyung. Today was the day he’d marry the love of his life, and despite all the chaos surrounding him, he felt an overwhelming sense of peace.

Jimin, Hoseok, Namjoon, and Jungkook were running around, doing their best to make sure everything went off without a hitch. The meticulous planning, the final touches, the catering—all of it had to be perfect. This was their best friend, their brother’s wedding, and they were determined to ensure that Taehyung’s special day would be unforgettable.

But despite all the commotion, all Taehyung could focus on was the image of Jisoo walking down the aisle. He imagined her smile, the way her eyes would light up when she saw him, and the thought made his heart race. It was the moment he had been waiting for—the moment when he could finally call her his forever.

Taehyung’s parents had initially been hesitant about his relationship with Jisoo. There were whispers—Taehyung was younger than her by a year, and she was a single mother, no less. His mother, in particular, had doubts about how their relationship would be received, concerned about the challenges they might face.

But all that changed the moment they met Jisoo. The way she carried herself, her grace, her quiet strength, and the way she loved Rowoon—her son—captured their hearts. It didn’t take long for them to realize that she was the one who could handle their son’s stubbornness and quirks. She had a warmth about her that melted even their skepticism, and soon enough, they were all on board with the relationship.

Her smile, her aura—it was like a blooming flower in a garden, Taehyung’s mother often thought. The way Jisoo approached life with such passion, while raising Rowoon on her own, was something to admire. She was strong, capable, and fiercely protective, qualities that made her more than deserving of Taehyung’s love.

For the first time in years, Taehyung’s parents felt at ease about his happiness. They had witnessed the painful aftermath of his first love, the heartache that had almost broken him. But Jisoo came into his life like a balm, healing him in ways they couldn’t have imagined. She not only gave him love, but she also gave him hope again.

"Are you sure you are my son?" Taehyung’s mom asked, her voice quivering with emotion as she hugged him tightly. Her eyes were filled with tears, but her words carried a teasing warmth.

Taehyung chuckled, trying to hold back his own emotions. "Of course, I’m your son, Mom. Who else could I be?"

His dad, who stood behind them, patted Taehyung’s back with a proud grin. "Of course, he’s ours. Can’t you see? He’s as handsome as me!" He said, making everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Taehyung rolled his eyes with a smile. "Mom, Dad, please, let me go. I don’t want my bride to be waiting for me."

His mother pulled back slightly, still wiping away tears, but she nodded, laughing softly. "Alright, alright. But remember, no matter what, you’ll always be our son."

Everyone around them seemed to be in awe of Taehyung today. He looked like something out of a romantic drama, every inch the perfect groom. His grey three-piece Celine suit fit him perfectly, accentuating his broad shoulders and lean frame. His hair was styled to perfection, swept neatly in one direction, giving him an almost ethereal look.

"I’m jealous of you," Jungkook muttered, eyeing Taehyung with mock annoyance. "How do you make everyone fall for you like that?"

Taehyung couldn’t help but laugh at his friend’s words, his mischievous grin only making Jungkook pout even harder. "Cause I’m Kim Taehyung," he replied with his signature smirk, earning an exaggerated roll of the eyes from Jungkook.
