"Mingi time! I might be the most controversial member in this video so fasten your seatbelts."

Mingi lowered his head as he suddenly felt shy for his confidence while recording the video.

"Lia was still denying her feelings. Moving in to the new dorms, Lia ended up staying with Seonghwa hyung, San and me. It just made everything easier for her to be with us."

Lia was close to all the members but living with these three made her even closer. Cuddle sessions with the boys were a must. Mingi was super cuddly. Lia loved the way his body was huge in comparison to hers. She loved being engulfed by him but also loved holding him in her arms like he was the littlest and most fragile thing in the world.

After the San romantic getaway, Lia kept denying her feelings. She needed a distraction.

"That's where I came in. I was the closest to her physically. We felt super comfortable with each other. So comfortable that things escalated quickly. At first we started getting touchy and kissing every now and then. After some time, we had sex for the first time together. It felt amazing and we just kept doing it."

"This is super weird to talk about at the wedding but hey, it's close friends only, right? Anyways" Mingi rubbed his forehead as Yeosang laughed at his remarks. He really felt confident the day he recorded the video.

"Lia was my comfort for a while. Whenever nothing else in my life made sense, she made sense. It's true, we never dated, we never made anything official and we kept it hidden for a long time. But it was comfortable. It may come across as toxic, and I suppose it wasn't healthy at all, but it was a learning experience for both of us. We needed that physical connection to get through our other issues. And we did."

"I worked on my mental health and became a stronger person while Lia finally stopped neglecting her feelings and admitted that she was in love."

"My beautiful bride, I wish you nothing but the best. Thank you for making me believe in my worth. I learned to value myself through your love."

Lia smiled and held the had of the man sitting next to her. Mingi.
