(88) Wedding

In the week leading up to the wedding, chaos seemed to unravel within Seventeen. Each of the members dealt with Yuri's impending marriage in their own way, but none of them could accept it.

Joshua and The8 had secretly visited her while she was shopping for her wedding dress with Jimin. They tried their best to convince her to cancel the wedding, pleading with her to return to them. But every word fell on deaf ears as she remained firm in her decision. Even attempts to visit her at home were thwarted by BTS, who had raised security levels, keeping them out.

Hoshi's anger only grew as the days passed. His fury, once kept under control by her presence, now spilled over uncontrollably. He took out his rage on those around him, killing numerous people in cold blood, something he had sworn to leave behind because of Yuri. Dino, who had long left behind his old habits for her, now found himself sitting in a bar day and night, drowning in alcohol as he tried to numb the pain of losing her.

Jun, once known for his Cold nature, had retreated into silence, spending hours in the gym, hitting the punching bag until his knuckles bled. Seungkwan and DK were no longer the cheerful members they once were. Seungkwan would lock himself in his room, ignoring the world, while DK, still in disbelief, would often go outside her house, watching from afar, hoping she’d change her mind and come back to them.

Mingyu and Wonwoo took on mission after mission, not caring how dangerous they were. They were relentless, completing each one with precision and ruthlessness, as if they were trying to fill the void inside themselves. Every target fell before them, their hunger for violence growing stronger as they kept pushing themselves, not wanting to return to a home that no longer felt complete without her.

Scoups locked himself in his office, plotting. His mind was consumed with thoughts of ways to bring Yuri back. He didn't care how dark his thoughts became, the leader inside him twisting into something more dangerous with every passing hour. He barely spoke to anyone, his anger and obsession feeding off each other, making him unpredictable.

Joshua, who had always been the soft-spoken, kind-hearted member infront of her, had taken up smoking. He was rarely seen without a cigarette now, standing in silence as smoke curled around him. His eyes, once full of warmth, now carried a coldness that mirrored the betrayal he felt.

Woozi and Vernon buried themselves in work. Every second they spent not thinking about her was a victory, though the weight of their emotions seeped into their skills of their Mafia business.

Jeonghan, the one who used to control the group’s emotions, no longer had the strength to keep everyone together. His frustrations spilled over in harsh words, his patience worn thin. The once caring ‘angel’ had become sharp, constantly pacing, devising plans to make Yuri see reason, his heart clouded by a need to win her back at any cost.

Each member had crossed a line, their love for Yuri turning into something much darker. They had shown her kindness, love, and devotion, but now that she had turned her back on them, they were ready to make her feel the consequences of her choice.

Yuri, on the other hand, had isolated herself in her room, only coming out to eat with her brothers. Over the week, she had grown closer to them, learning about her past and herself. It was during this time that she saw a doctor who explained that she had dissociative amnesia. The trauma she had gone through caused her brain to shut off certain memories, as a defense mechanism to protect her from the pain.

Despite understanding her condition, the heaviness in her heart persisted. Her brothers tried to fill the void. As the wedding day approached, the tension only grew, and everyone was left wondering how this story would truly end.
