As the preparations for Ryuji and Ayumi's wedding moved into full swing, the house was filled with excitement. Invitations were being finalized, calls were made to caterers, and every room seemed to echo with laughter and chatter. Ryuji and Ayumi's love story had become the centerpiece of the household, and everyone was determined to make the wedding a beautiful and unforgettable day.

One morning, as the family gathered around the breakfast table, Keiko announced, "We need to go shopping for the wedding. Everyone needs their outfits, and we’ve got a lot of things to buy. Let’s make a day out of it!”

Yumi clapped her hands together, eyes gleaming. “Finally! I’ve been waiting for this! We have to find the perfect dress for Ayumi, and I need to find something stunning.”

Kenji grinned, leaning back in his chair. “Something stunning, huh? I think I can help with that.”

Ryuji, who had been quietly sipping his coffee, chimed in. “You two better not make this all about fashion. We have a lot of things to buy for the wedding.”

Yumi shot her brother a playful look. “Oh, don’t worry, we won’t forget about your precious flowers and table settings.” She winked, making everyone at the table laugh.

After breakfast, they all set off to the city’s finest shops. The streets were alive with people, and the stores were bustling with energy. The first stop was a high-end boutique that specialized in wedding attire. Yumi immediately dragged Kenji to the dress section, her eyes lighting up at the sight of all the beautiful gowns.

After a few minutes of browsing, she found a dress that made her gasp. It was a floor-length gown in a soft champagne color, with intricate beadwork along the bodice and delicate layers of tulle cascading down to the floor. The neckline was subtly dipped, and the back had a gorgeous lace-up design that gave it an elegant yet modern touch.

Yumi stepped into the dressing room to try it on. When she emerged, Kenji's jaw practically dropped. He stood there, frozen for a moment as he took in the sight of her.

“You… you look amazing,” he finally managed to say, his voice filled with admiration. He walked over to her, gently grabbing her by the waist and pulling her close. Leaning down, he pressed a soft kiss on her lips, his voice a whisper. “You look gorgeous.”

Yumi blushed, smiling up at him. “Thank you,” she said, giving him a quick peck on the cheek. “Now, it’s your turn. Let’s find a nice suit for you.”

Together, they wandered through the men’s section until they found the perfect suit—a sharp, black suit with subtle detailing on the lapels. Kenji tried it on, and Yumi couldn’t help but beam with pride. “You look so handsome!” she said, adjusting his tie slightly.

While Yumi and Kenji were busy with their outfits, Dai was focused on finding something for Shun. “Try this one,” Dai said, handing Shun a classic dark grey suit with a modern cut. Shun took it into the fitting room, and after a few moments, he stepped out, nervously tugging at the sleeves.

“How do I look?” Shun asked, his eyes searching for approval.

Dai didn’t say anything at first. Instead, he walked up to Shun and gently pushed him back into the fitting room, closing the door behind them. The space was small, intimate, and the air between them was charged with an unspoken energy. Dai’s hand slipped around Shun’s waist, and he pressed his body against Shun’s, pinning him softly against the wall. His lips found Shun’s neck, and he kissed him slowly, taking his time as he traced the curve of Shun’s neck with his lips.

“You look so sexy… so tempting,” Dai murmured, his breath warm against Shun’s skin.

Shun’s heart raced, and he felt a flutter in his stomach. He wrapped his arms around Dai’s neck, pulling him closer. “do I?” he whispered, his voice barely audible as their faces were so close that their breaths mingled. Their eyes met, and in that moment, the world outside the dressing room seemed to disappear. It was just them, their gazes locked, speaking a language only they could understand. The intensity of the moment sent a shiver down Shun’s spine.

The chemistry between them was electric, their eyes full of longing, affection, and a deep, unspoken connection. They were romancing with their eyes, no words needed as the intimacy between them filled the small space.

Shun finally broke the silence, smiling softly. “We should go. What if someone looks for us?”

Dai chuckled, reluctantly pulling back. “Alright,” he said, but not before giving Shun one last lingering kiss. As they stepped out of the dressing room, Dai couldn’t help but glance at Shun again, admiring how incredible he looked in the suit.

Shun then helped Dai choose his outfit, and after trying on a few different options, they finally settled on a sleek navy suit that perfectly complemented Dai’s features. “This one suits you the best,” Shun said with a smile. “Let’s go with this.”

With their outfits sorted, they rejoined the others and continued shopping for wedding essentials. They bought decorations, flowers, gifts, and everything needed to make Ryuji and Ayumi’s wedding perfect. The day was filled with laughter and excitement, and everyone was in high spirits as they made their way through the busy streets, arms full of bags.

Back at the house, the atmosphere was filled with joy as the wedding preparations continued. Haruto and Keiko were busy inviting guests and making sure all the arrangements were in place. Ryuji and Ayumi finalized the details of the ceremony, while Yumi and Kenji were in charge of the decorations.

Dai and Shun found themselves helping with the seating arrangements, carefully placing name cards on the tables. As they worked, Dai would occasionally sneak a glance at Shun, his eyes filled with affection. At one point, Dai leaned in and whispered, “I can’t wait to see you at the wedding. You’re going to look amazing.”

Shun blushed, nudging Dai lightly. “Stop teasing,” he said with a smile, but his heart was filled with warmth.

As the wedding day drew closer, the family worked tirelessly to ensure everything was perfect. The house was alive with the hustle and bustle of preparation, and even though it was busy, it was filled with love. Dai and Shun often found quiet moments together amidst the chaos—whether it was sharing a quick kiss in the kitchen while preparing food for the guests or holding hands while arranging flowers. Their love was evident in every little thing they did, a constant reminder that they were there for each other, no matter what.

The wedding preparations continued with a sense of purpose, excitement, and love, and everyone couldn’t wait for the big day when Ryuji and Ayumi would finally say their vows.
