Jiwon felt a swell of emotion building within her, certain that tears would betray her as the priest declared, "You may now kiss the bride." Once again, she found herself on the verge of tears, pride brimming in her eyes as she stood on the stage beside Jayoung. At that moment, Jayoung threw her arms around Eric, her face radiant with joy, and kissed him passionately, sealing their vows with a perfect display of love.
Standing a little to the side as the best man and bridesmaid, Joshua and Jiwon shared the moment, the atmosphere filled with love and celebration. Joshua wore a proud smile that contrasted sharply with the tears Jiwon could no longer hold back. The sight of her best friend in such bliss was overwhelming. As she sniffled softly, Joshua turned to her, concern etched on his features. With a gentle motion, Jiwon dabbed at her eyes with a delicate handkerchief, trying to regain her composure.
Seeing her struggle, Joshua's expression softened, and he wrapped his strong arms around her, providing a comforting embrace as the guests erupted into cheers for the newlyweds. The warmth of his body enveloped her, and Jiwon leaned into him, desperately trying to collect herself. It was a revelation that struck her: she was failing miserably at keeping her emotions in check.
As Eric and Jayoung finally pulled away from their embrace, their faces glowing with joy, they took each other's hands and walked down the aisle together. The sound of shouts and clapping filled the air, accompanied by the bright smiles of friends and family, all celebrating this beautiful union. They stepped down from the raised platform, making their way towards the front row, where a special seat had been reserved just for them.
Joshua took hold of Jiwon's hand, and together they moved behind the podium, ready for the speeches that were about to unfold. Jiwon felt a familiar flutter of nerves, reminiscent of the moments she'd spent on stage in the past, performing for her audience, her fans. A sense of pride and happiness enveloped her, taking on the shape of stars that twinkled in her vision, illuminating her heart.
"Good evening, everyone!" Joshua's voice rang out into the crowd, sweet and confident, instantly commanding attention. The warmth of his tone resonated with both the guests and Jiwon, making her heart swell unnaturally. "Today, we're here to celebrate the union of two of my best friends: Eric and Jayoung!" The crowd erupted in cheers, the enthusiasm infectious.
"I can assure you, I'm thrilled to be here today—perhaps even happier than the bride and groom themselves!" Joshua continued laughter bubbling in his voice. "And trust me, Eric, this means I can finally take my revenge by spilling all your secrets!" His laughter echoed through the venue, a sound so genuine and contagious that Jiwon couldn't help but join in, a smile blooming on her face as she gazed at his side profile.
At that moment, it felt as if they were both teenagers again, carefree and blissful, reliving the joy of their past. Jiwon looked at Joshua the way she once did when they were dating, her world narrowing down to just him. Time seemed to slow, like a cassette tape stuck on a favourite song, playing endlessly in her mind. She could hear her heart thumping loudly in her ears, each beat resonating with the laughter that surrounded them. Joshua's laughter intertwined with hers, and a sudden rush of happiness swept over her, filling her with warmth.
