The Escort S2

Part 100: I promise...

Jungkook's POV

I nervously wait for my groom as I shift from foot to foot trying to steady myself. My stomach is in knots, and I feel like I'll die if I don't see my love.

I've never known such anxiety. Both of my brothers stand with me. Namjoon passes me a handkerchief to wipe my brow.

"Patience, brother he's coming," Namjoon says.

I look out into a pool of guests comprised of our closest friends and family. I feel comfort coming over me. Sitting up front is my dad. Dad smiles as he looks up at me and nods.

My life has changed in wonderful ways having my dad as part of my life today and he also loves Tae. I'm truly blessed.

I then see Jae Jin sitting with Ivory up front next to dad. Where he belongs. He is my family, and I love him .

His arm is around Ivory who is tucked into to him. How did he grow up so fast in two years? l softly smile when I think he was part of our love story.

I chuckle a bit thinking of how we met and my early thoughts about him. I was so judgmental and wrong.

Tae loves him dearly. JJ appears to have found his love in Ivory. I am happy for them both.

I look up and see Jimin. He's Tae's person, his very best friend and they have a powerful connection. I've never seen Tae so happy as when Jimin and Yoongi moved to SK.

He has a broad smile and winks at me as he steps up front. He's so excited for us. I look out and see his husband, Suga. What a good friend he's become to me.

I then see Lisa slowly coming down the aisle. She nods at me to say it's okay, your love is coming. A feeling of peace overtakes me.

She saved my sweet Tae from that beast of an abusive boyfriend. Without her, he would not be safe today. Tae would not be mine and this moment would not be occurring.

And then there's my dad who loves her dearly, as she loves him.

She and Jimin are holding Tae's favorite flowers. As I look at them and think who they are to Tae and me, I swallow hard and wipe my eyes.

Across the aisle is Tae's mom holding a glob of tissues and sobbing as Tae's sister comforts her and wipes her own eyes. My mother-in-law is the sweetest woman ever.

Tae has not appeared, and the seats are filled with sobbing guests. How am I going to stay on my feet?

But there are also smiles with glistening eyes. Baek sits next to Ivory and waves at Chany. Suga sits next to dad with a big gummy smile and passes dad some tissue.

Tae Juan sits next to Suga and oh my goodness he brought a guest. Felix. Good for him. Everyone is either crying, smiling broadly, or both.

I feel settled and present as I wait for my love. I can't wait to call him husband. Such a small thing that means so much. Ah, my husband.

Next comes Kwan spreading flowers. She is too cute. Everyone ohhs and ahhs at my precious little niece. She is quite meticulous in her placement of the petals.

Every step requires petals. The guests all laugh. She is adorable as she sees Namjoon and waves at her papa. He smiles proudly and waves at his baby girl.

My stomach flutters at the thought of me and Tae as proud parents. My only hope is that I will be as good of a dad as Namjoon. I again swallow pushing down my tears.

Then comes Ryug. Jin is behind him encouraging him but once he sees the crowd he stops and shakes his head, no.

He stands there and cries. Jin encourages him but he's scared. Oh God I think, is he going to need his red blanket?
