Worlds Apart - Taekook - Book 2

Chapter 198 - Ceremony Eve

Jungkook wondered if Tae was feeling the effects of a chaotic day so far because he'd been quiet and they hadn't had much time together even though they hadn't really left each other's side all day. He also suspected that nervousness could be at play because he felt that too.

The walkthrough went well, he thinks? He nodded and smiled a lot, unsure if he was required to have input but was content to leave the talking to Tae, who appeared to know what was expected. They were plied with information and shown the various locations for the ceremony tomorrow which included the marquee where there were large sections for each part of the day. There was one area for guests as they arrived, another area for the food and speeches and another part for where the actual ceremony would happen. There were so many people busy with decorations and reading from clipboards which was overwhelming in itself.

"Ready?" the dancer asks as they bid farewell to Sae-Joo and hurry to the meeting with their family and friends.

"For Heeju? I think the answer could be 'no'." Tae smiles. His mind whirs with his plans for this evening. It all feels very secretive and underhand and he is undecided as to whether it is shrouded with apprehension because he expects a slight defensive reaction from Jungkook. The last time he felt such nervousness was when he was planning to ask the love of his life to move in with him and this was all a reminder of why he wasn't the one who proposed. The only other time he'd been secretive was the Yangs situation and he didn't want to compare anything to that.

SAE-JOO PARK
Your requirements for this evening have all been met. Please contact me on this number should you have any queries.

SEOK
We made it! We will be down as soon as we've changed.

Jungkook giggles at Tae's response, "It's funny how Heeju has taken over the whole thing."

Tae looks up from his phone as they walk into the hotel, "Given that we put her in charge of the Euphoria party to distract her from the ceremony... perhaps no one else got the memo. I've had a message from Seok, they are in their room and are getting changed."

"That's good. Emery was trying to leave Incheon early so they could make it."

"Our groomspeople are all here so that's a start. I haven't heard from my parents but they were coming as soon as my Appa could get away from work."

"I think that's everyone who is staying tonight then? But I'm sure Heeju will tell us... will you tell me our honeymoon plans tonight?"

Tae slows his pace as they see the banquet room doors up ahead, "I'll tell you whenever you want me to. I have all the details in a folder on my phone."

"Probably not a good idea to show me in the bath then..." he giggles nervously, "... I'll leave it to you to decide when the time is right as I'm in your hands this evening."

The CEO wiggles his eyebrows up and down and grins cheekily, "That sounds like fun."

Jungkook can't prevent the eye roll but does so with a smile on his face, "One track mind, Mr Kim."

"The Jungkook track and I have no plans to steer from it. Besides, our agreement is making me more focused on that side of things."

The dancer stops them both just before they reach the double cream wooden doors, "You're always focused on that, Tae... I'm pleased you have no plans to steer away." He says, leaning in for a kiss.

"Put him down!" comes the call from behind them as Hobi and Emery walk through the hallway.

Before the couple can answer, the doors open and Heeju appears, "That's what I always say... you can't even be on time to walk into a room." She says.
