        Our eyes met. My heart began to pound rapidly. I analyzed every single ounce of his face. I've missed him so much. I noticed his eyes that only looked towards me. They did not shine. Those eyes of yours, In-Guk. I finally saw the sorrow in them for the first time. His smile was definitely fake. How did I not realize? I fell to the floor from being overstimulated. All the emotions he presented on this day were fake.
In-Guk quickly ran to my side, much quicker than Dasom. There was concern in his eyes. He held on to me tight.
"Are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?" he asked with worry.
"Don't be dramatic, In-Guk. He just hasn't had anything to drink since the beginning of the ceremony. That's all." Dasom's love appeared more like a friend's but she did indeed love me romantically. If only she knew that the love I had for her was only as a friend and not as a lover. That would be the downfall of our relationship and marriage.
I got up with the help of both of them. They both looked at me with love, though I already knew who's heart I would accept. My eyes remained on In-Guk. Even after the service was over, I wanted to be with him. I looked over to Dasom who had a look of confusion all over her face. I'm sorry Dasom, I'll try to find a way to tell you the truth. I left the grip of her hand and approached an In-Guk who looked close to crying. His eyes fluttered as he saw me coming his way. He wiped his tears and gave me a bittersweet smirk. I put my arm around him as we approached his car. I didn't want to let go.
"Wow...You finally married her. How does it feel to be a married man?" His smile wavered.
"Uhm..it feels good, I guess haha" I glanced at him to see his reaction. I couldn't stop staring at every inch of his face. His eyes were already looking at mine before I knew it. I looked away. Anymore staring and I would have confessed my love for him too quickly. Maybe I would have done even more and kissed him. A cough came from both of us.
"Well, It's time for me to go home. Enjoy your honeymoon with Dasom." He spoke softly. In-Guk's eyes didn't even look at mine. His sorrow grew larger by the minute. I could feel it. As he opened his car door, I grabbed his hand. He stopped and looked at me with reddish cheeks.
"Could we go and have a drink at your house? Nevermind, I'm sorry. That's a sudden request." A look of surprise came across his face. He smiled at me.
"No, it's okay. I'm fine with it. Is Dasom fine with it though? Isn't this your special night?"
"Don't worry about it. She'll probably be okay with it." I forgot to let go of his hand. I laughed awkwardly as I remembered that I was still holding his hand and let go. We both got in the car and chatted for the rest of the car ride. It felt nice to speak to In-Guk again. Tears slowly dripped down but I stopped myself as we arrived at his house.
The car doors slammed as we exited out of the vehicle. I felt extreme joy. We entered his house which looked a bit messy. A look of embarrassment came across his face. He looked so cute. I sat down on the floor and waited for him to come with the drinks. As he laid them out on the table and sat down next to me, our distance was extremely small. Good thing I wouldn't get drunk. Or so I thought..
We laughed and talked, with drinks in our hands. We both were drunk. I laid down on the couch and processed that he was really next to me. I felt him staring at me but decided not to make it awkward. I enjoyed his gaze.
"I'm sorry In-guk.."
"Why are you sorry?'
"I haven't been honest with you about how I feel..."
        "I love you. I love you so much that I married my best friend. I couldn't accept the fact that I loved you. I've accepted it now though. I want to be with you forever." I turned my head over to him and expected some reaction, but all I got was silence. I went back to closing my eyes and hoping he wouldn't remember this failed confession.
         I felt In-Guk hover above me. I opened my eyes and stared right into his. They looked at my lips. I couldn't control myself any longer. The few inches between us became zero. I held his nape, as he held mine likewise with hesitance. Our lips collided. It was a sweet sensation. All the suppressed emotions I've been feeling for In-Guk fled out. The grip of both of our hands tightened as we grasped at each other's hair. We kissed as if it was our last time with each other. Both of our eyes had tears in them. These emotions were too intense. I felt my heart beating out of control. We took a break and started kissing again, each time more passionately than the last. We embraced each other. In-Guk whispered softly:
         "I love you too. I guess I wasn't very good at hiding it. It started when we became friends. You were just so nice and I couldn't help it. Everything about you is so perfect."
         "No, I'm not perfect at all... I've left you waiting. I'm glad that we can finally share our emotions, though." I whispered back.
         A grin fell on his face and we did not let go of one another as the night played out.
        "I hope that we'll remember this."
        "I hope so too for my heart." In-Guk replied.
