Today is the wedding of PondPhuwin and GeminiFourth, a double wedding. The wedding takes place within the family framework, without the media or press releases, all information is kept absolutely confidential, only relatives and close friends are invited.

Early in the morning, Pond patiently coaxed Phuwin to wake up. Because he was pregnant, he often felt sleepy. He had to help Phuwin up and hold him in his arms for a while before he woke up. Phuwin went into the bathroom, fumbled around for a while, then came out. Pond had prepared the wedding dress. He attentively helped him put it on, then absentmindedly admired his beauty in the grand gown. His heart was pounding with anticipation until the day he and Phuwin were officially announced as a family, the corners of his mouth constantly curving up.

"P' Pond, P' Phuwin, the wedding is about to start, are you two done?"

------------------------------

Outside the door, Fourth's loud voice called out, perhaps he and Gemini were ready. PondPhuwin opened the door, looking at Fourth's pure and cheerful appearance in front of him, behind him was Gemini calmly waiting. Pond smiled slightly, he spoke.

"Done, let's go down"

Just like that, the four of them walked into the wedding hall together under the applause of their loved ones. The rings were exchanged, the kisses made the whole room burst into loud screams. Fourth glanced around the wedding party, his eyes reddened for a few seconds when under an empty table where no one was sitting, Likang's figure was smiling. Likang looked up at GeminiFourth, his hand had just stopped clapping, the corner of his lips also had a satisfied smile.

Fourth smiled, he looked at Likang, his heart also pounding with happiness. Gemini gently slipped his hand into Fourth's, making him look up at him. In those eyes filled with deep affection, Fourth felt a fondness, he loved him, finally his one-sided love had turned into a love from both sides.

PondPhuwin and GeminiFourth separated to serve drinks to each table. Because of the nature of their family, Phuwin and Fourth did not touch any drops of alcohol, only Pond and Gemini drank for them. PondPhuwin went to JoongDunk's table together, coincidentally DewNani was also sitting next to them, the whole table raised their glasses to celebrate, then Nani was exclaimed by Pond.

"I didn't think I would fall in love with someone like Dew."

Nani looked puzzled, he just smiled slightly, but Dew had already forced a smile, his helpless eyes seemed to beg Pond not to say another word, Nani still didn't know that Dew used to be a gangster.

"We are married, when are you and Nani planning to get married?"

Phuwin interrupted Pond, since there were already many tables serving drinks, they decided to sit down at this table and have lunch. Dew shook his head slightly, he said that in a few years when his cafe started to stabilize, they would consider getting married, right now the two of them being together like this was enough. JoongDunk and PondPhuwin both nodded in understanding, everyone started to have a sumptuously prepared lunch, GeminiFourth also arrived, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate together.

---------------------------------

At night, the wedding party was about to end, PondPhuwin stood to see the last few guests off, DewNani had left early, as Pond's assistant, Nani had to return to the company to help him with work after the party, and it was certain that Dew would return with Nani. JoongDunk also left right after the light dinner party, knowing that Phuwin was pregnant and that both he and Fourth couldn't drink alcohol, the wedding party ended early.

PondPhuwin saw the last guest off to the car, the two looked at each other and smiled, then held hands and walked inside. Fourth stood in front of the guest house door, looking out at the front porch. The yellow roses he had planted earlier were now mixed with a few red roses, the two colors blending together and shining under the moonlight. A gentle breeze blew by, causing Fourth's hair to flutter. He stood looking out at his brother who was walking in, and both Fourth and Phuwin's eyes turned red, just as Likang appeared sitting on the chair in front of the guest house.

Pond and Gemini knew that every time their eyes changed color, it meant they were seeing spirits. Gemini stood still and watched Fourth slowly walk over to the chair. He gently sat down on one side, then looked at Likang who was sitting next to him with regretful eyes.

"Are you leaving soon?"

"Um... Anyway, my wish has come true... Those who need to go must go... I have no regrets..."

Likang's voice was as light as a breeze, but Fourth felt it was heavy in his heart. He let out a bitter smile. Likang had been stuck here for more than five years, all for the happiness of a friend. Now, leaving without any worries or regrets would be better than staying here as a lonely soul.

"Can I see you off the last part of the way?"

Likang did not reply, he only gently patted the head of this polite younger brother, whose fate he had sympathized with to the point of bitterness. From behind Fourth, Gemini approached and lightly touched his shoulder, even though he could not see, he could guess somewhat.

"Likang is sitting next to you, right?"

Gemini asked softly, his eyes must have also shown nostalgia and sadness. After all, Likang was once his first love. He had also heard Fourth say that Likang would leave if Gemini found happiness. Now, Fourth's happiness must be Fourth's. He had already found it, so Likang's departure was only a matter of time.

Gemini saw Fourth's nod and just smiled slightly. He looked at the empty seat next to him, the corner of his mouth curved up.

"Do you want to meet him?"

"Just ten minutes"

Previously, thanks to the ten minutes Phuwin gave Gemini, he had the chance to meet Likang, and it was those ten minutes that made him realize that he had been blind in his stubbornness towards one person, forgetting that there was someone else by his side, and unintentionally using Fourth as a substitute. Today, he definitely wanted to spend the ten minutes that Fourth gave him to meet Likang, so he could say thank you to him, his first love from high school.

Fourth went inside the house, Gemini followed suit. Outside the door, PondPhuwin had already guessed what was going on. They both stood by and watched Fourth perform the spirit-seeing technique on Gemini.

"Gemini, I finally waited for the day you found your true love, congratulations, I hope you won't hurt Fourth again in the future"

"Thank you, Likang, I promise to love Fourth with everything I have"

"Then I'm relieved. Please take care of my family too. Liming is still in school age. Don't spoil him too much or he'll get spoiled. Thank you for always taking care of him like a younger brother over the years."

"No need to thank me Likang, it's the right thing to do. You're a good person, please reincarnate into a good family."

Likang smiled slightly, nodded, and looked up at everyone. Only Gemini Fourth and Phuwin could see him now, and Likang thanked everyone at the same time.

"Congratulations everyone, today is your wedding, you are all so beautiful"

Everyone smiled together, their eyes filled with emotion. After fulfilling his wish, Likang was sent off by Phuwin on his last journey. The small cup of tea that Phuwin had just brewed was brought in front of Likang, he smiled and drank it all, then his body gradually disappeared into space, leaving behind a bit of sparkling light before disappearing completely, returning the space to silence for everyone. Gemini's eyes returned to normal, as did Phuwin and Fourth, the house no longer had Likang's soul...

When the story was over, Pond pulled Phuwin up to his room first. Gemini and Fourth quietly packed their things together. They looked at each other and smiled, then held hands and returned to their rooms...
