Wonwoo's Protection

13. Just Married

The small and private wedding was set up in HYBE's rooftop because of security reasons. SEVENTEEN's art directors had done a wonderful job in transforming the rooftop into a beautiful venue for Wonwoo's and Inha's special day under Ayat's direction. Everything was picture perfect and Wonwoo was so happy to be surrounded only by the people who he loves and who loves him back. Only his close friends, the inner circle of their staff and 'crème de la crèam' family members were invited. Although Wonwoo's parents made a fuss initially for not being able to hold a grand ceremony for their first son, they soon came around to the idea of having a small ceremony for the sake of the young couple's privacy and security.

Inha felt slightly sad for not inviting Eunbi, her friend from college who took her to the concert, but again she couldn't take any risks for Wonwoo's sake. From her side only her father, stepmom, half-sister, Mia and her family attended. Mia's parents also flew from LA to attend their niece's wedding. She looked extremely nervous as Taehee did one final check after Inha wore the dress.

"Eonni. You are shaking" Taehee said as she found Inha trembling in front of the mirror. "Are you okay?" She asked her, holding her hand. The two had grown closer ever since they met at the wedding dress boutique and started to speak casually.

"I.. am fine. Just nervous" Inha replied.

"It's going to be fine Inha-yah" Mia came around to hug her. Thankfully ever since the morning Inha didn't see her stepmother and half-sister and so her mood didn't get sour. Those around her tried to ease her nerves but she couldn't help but get nervous about getting married.

Wonwoo on the other hand was equally nervous. He was fretting, walking back and forth and Hoshi literally had to stop and root him to one place to pin the boutonnière on Wonwoo's tuxedo jacket. The flower was white to match Inha's dress.

"Yaahh, stop moving, otherwise I'd poke your chest with this" reprimanded Hoshi as he pinned the beautiful flower.

"Don't scold him Hoshi-yah. Wonwoo, it's okay to be nervous." Supported Seungcheol from the sidelines. If there was any member who was so proud about Wonwoo getting married, it was their general leader as he had a full-blown smile on his face as he adjusted the few strands of hair that fell on Wonwoo's forehead.

"Hyung, it's time" Mingyu popped in to announce that they are about to start the ceremony. With a heavy breath and a deep sigh Wonwoo walked towards where the wedding would be officiated. He saw Ayat cheering from the side with her 6 month old son in her arms and standing beside her was Mia and Seokjin who were smiling at him. The rest of his members were scattered around the venue, everyone showing him their appreciation and love.

Inha came out not long after him, her father escorting her towards where Wonwoo was standing with a nervous heart. She was wearing a veil over her face and even then Wonwoo could see all of her beauty, her pink lips, the small dark mole that decorated her pale skin slightly below the right side of her lips, the loose hair from her messy updo framing her face, her shy almond eyes, he could see everything and it hurt his senses in a good way. Her father gave her hand to Wonwoo who clasped it throughout the ceremony and left her hand only when he rummaged in his pocket for the wedding ring.

Just like during the engagement Wonwoo looked into her eyes as he kissed her hand after putting the ring on her finger. Inha was a blushing mess after that as she almost dropped the ring she was supposed to put on Wonwoo. He chuckled at her flustered state as she finally managed to put the ring on him.

"You may kiss the bride" the officiant said, finally leading towards the most anticipated part of the ceremony. Wonwoo took a small step towards her and Inha took a sharp breath as he came near her. Inha trembled slightly when she saw Wonwoo's long fingers curling around her veil to delicately lift them over her head to see her without any obstruction.
