A couple of weeks pass.

Yoongi is standing in front of a mirror—he is wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath.

A man in his late 20s is adjusting Yoongi's suit jacket. He keeps a white rose in Yoongi's suit jacket pocket.

Yoongi says, 'Do I look okay, Hoseok? I wanna look perfect in front of him.'
Hoseok says, 'Mate, he can't see you.'
Yoongi says, 'They're gonna click photos. He'll see the photos after getting the surgery done.'
Hoseok says, 'You look like a perfect bridegroom. All right?'
Yoongi says, 'Aye.'

Hoseok says, 'I can't believe that my mate is getting married and that too, to his crush.'
Yoongi says, 'He's my boyfriend.'
Hoseok says, 'But he was your crush in the university.'
Yoongi says, 'Whatever.'
Hoseok says, 'I wonder how Jimin's gonna look. I'm gonna meet him after years.'

Yoongi says, 'He looks cute... I just miss the glasses though. He used to look like a baby with those.'
Hoseok says, 'All right. Someone is whipped.'
Yoongi says, 'Yes, of course.'
Hoseok says, 'Such a shameless boyfriend of Jimin.'

Yoongi giggles in response.

Jimin, wearing a white shirt and white suit trousers, is standing in front of his parents—they seem to help him dress up.

Mr Park makes Jimin wear the white suit jacket and adjusts it. Mrs Park keeps an off-white rose in Jimin's suit jacket pocket.

Jimin says, 'I gotta look perfect.’
Mrs Park says, 'You will, dear.'
Jimin says, 'I do look okay, don't I? Dad, tell me something.'
Mr Park says, 'You look handsome, son.'
Jimin says, 'I wish I could see myself and check if I really look okay.'

Mrs Park asks, 'What's with that statement, Jimin? Don't you trust us?'
Jimin answers, 'I do... I just... Argh, whatever.'
Mr Park says, 'You should calm down. Yeah?'
Jimin says, 'I'm nervous, Dad.'
Mr Park says, 'It's okay to feel nervous. You don't know how nervous I was while marrying your mum.'

Jimin breathes deeply and hums in response.

Shortly, a huge hall is where a lot of people are sitting. The officiant walks down the aisle and stands in the middle of the altar. He glances around with a persistent smile on his lips.

Yoongi walks down the aisle and stands at the right side of the altar. Hoseok follows him as the best man and stands on his right.

The ring bearer walks down the aisle and stands a little away from Yoongi.

A little girl—the flower girl—walks down the aisle followed by Jimin whose hand is being held by Mr Park.

Mr Park makes Jimin stand in front of Yoongi and whispers, 'Stay still. You're facing him.'

Mr Park walks off and sits next to Mrs Park.

The officiant says, 'Today is a day to celebrate. We are celebrating the love, commitment, and friendship of two people who love each other and wish to spend the rest of their lives together. The marriage ceremony is a significant part of nearly every culture, religion, generation, and society. Despite all of our differences, we all share the love. Love is the great unifier, regardless of who we are, where we’ve come from or what we believe in.'

Yoongi inhales shakily upon noticing Jimin's breathtaking looks.

The officiant continues, 'We can all describe love in many ways and love can look different from one person to the other, but we all know love when we see it. And we can see love right here. Welcome, everyone!'

Yoongi's eyes get filled with tears.

The officiant says, 'Dear family and friends, we have gathered here together to witness Jimin Park and Yoongi Min, as they exchange their vows of marriage. We rejoice with them in their delight of finding love with each other, and support their decision to commit themselves to a lifelong relationship.'
