The wedding ceremony was fully prepared. A simple decoration with the perfect combination of baby blue and beige colour fills the beautiful church. With the bride and groom at the altar.

They are holding hand in hand while looking into each other's eyes. Not even once in their life of expecting this day will come. Getting married to someone that they love the most.

“I, Sim Jaeyun, will take you Park Hyejin, to be my wife, and these things I promise you: I will be faithful to you and honest with you; I will respect, trust, help, and care for you; I will share my life with you; I will forgive you as we have been forgiven; and I will try with you better to understand ourselves, the world and God; through the best and worst of what is to come, and as long as we live.”

He assured her a sweet meaningful smile. Telling himself that this is it. This is the greatest decision he ever made in his life. Taking this beautiful woman who carries his baby as his legal wife.

Tear flow down as Hyejin repeat the same vow as Jaeyun—a little bit nervous but Jaeyun caressed her hands. He was fascinated by Hyejin today. He always imagine how she will look in her wedding dress and this is perfect.

She looks perfect.

“I now pronounce you as husband and wife, you can kiss the bride! Congratulation!”

Softly, he pulled her closer and pressed his lips on her, can't hide the excitement running through veins now. Everything around them was gone it's feel like only two of standing at the altar now.

Jaeyun pulled away and rested his forehead on hers while caressing her cheeks, “I love you, Mommy Sim!”

She chuckled, “I love you more, Daddy Sim!”

Everyone congratulated them especially Eunju and Jiwon. Both there are the happiest person at the wedding today. Who knows their stupid idea could lead to this?

“Hyejin finally you're married! We are so happy for you, girl! Can't wait for the baby delivered!” Jiwon hugged Hyejin and did a little dance.

“Thank you, Jiwon!”

Eunju shook her head while holding the flower bouquet that got thrown by Hyejin. Yes, she accidentally caught it and now most people say it's her turn next.

“We hope Jaeyun and you are having a great world of marriage with your baby. This is so sudden but we're very happy to witness your wedding!” Eunju said as she hugged her two best friends.

“Indeed, Jongseong thought we would get married first but it turned out it was you and Jaeyun's wedding. But, we are so happy for both of you!” Jiwon added.

Hyejin smiled, “this was unexpected too but Jaeyun said it's much better if we get married first so we can plan for my delivery after. I can't wait to meet our little baby!”

“We can't wait too! Oh, we're going to be an aunt!” Jiwon said excitedly.

Both Eunju and Jiwon look at Hyejin's belly. It's not that obvious when Hyejin wears this wedding dress but they know how big her belly is now. And Jaeyun, he really appreciates Hyejin.

“Your turn next, Jiwon.” Eunju suddenly uttered it.

“Girl, you snatched the flower so it's your turn not mine though!” Jiwon shook her head.

“Mind you, Choi! I don't have a partner at the moment so yeah, it's your turn!” Eunju not want to give up now.

“Bruh, how about Sunghoon—” Hyejin's words stopped there.

“Don't you dare, Mrs Sim!”

Jaeyun sipped his champagne while listening to Jongseong and Sunghoon talking about business. Suddenly, someone stood next to him and it was Ethan.

“Congrats, Jake. I'm so happy for both of you!” Ethan said, sincerely.

“Thank you, Ethan. I thought you wouldn't come to our wedding because we know how busy you are. It was unexpected but I'm happy you're here today.” Jaeyun explained.

“Yeah, I can tell. Anything for you and you're my friend, Jake.” he took a sip of champagne.

Both of them stay silent while looking at Hyejin who is talking with her friends. If you're curious, does Ethan feel sad with this news? Oh yes, he is very sad with this news but he's glad Hyejin is having someone like Jaeyun.

Even though he needs times to let her go from his mind. Let's hope Ethan found someone else for him.

Ethan want to open his mouth but Jongseong interrupt them. Along with Sunghoon followed him from behind. They also look in the same direction, admiring their own girl.

“So, who's next?” Sunghoon blurred of that question.

“Pfft—obviously, it's you Sunghoon!” Jongseong scoffed and Sunghoon glared at him.

“I'm single—”

“So does Eunju. And she snatched the flower, remember?” Jaeyun interrupt.

Sunghoon gulped, so everyone knows what he is thinking now, huh? But he hated rushing for things that never confirmed. He never met Eunju because of his works and usually they only talk when needed.

His gaze went in her direction. Eunju is pretty and fun but does she think he's a good guy? Sunghoon never knows because he never tries. He is afraid if he destroys something beautiful—like her.

“I don't know guys. We never have a proper conversation that's why I told Jongseong to take his turn first. You're already engaged man!” Sunghoon tapped Jongseong's shoulder.

“I'm not ready yet. How about you Ethan?” three of them look at Ethan you just stay silent all the time.

“What? Me? Why me?” and three of them just laughed.

He entered the hotel room and his gaze dropped on his wife sleeping on the bed. Hyejin went to the room first because she was tired. Jaeyun took out his blazer and lay down next to her.

He intertwines their hands together and leaves a few kisses on her knuckles. His action makes Hyejin open her eyes and their gaze meets.

“Finally, you're here Mr Sim. Our baby is waiting for you, you know?” she said and Jaeyun wrapped his arms along her waist.

“This baby... or his mom is waiting for me, hmm?” he teasingly asked and Hyejin let out a laugh.

They look into each other's eyes not saying anything but they both know what the meaning is. The silence between them speaks louder than anything.

“I'm so grateful to have you as my wife, Hyejin. I promise you that I will stay by your side always.”

“Me too, Jaeyun. Only God knows, how happy I am to finally call you my husband!”

Jaeyun kissed her. Deeply and passionately. This night feels a little bit different than other nights.

Words can't describe their feelings. Only their actions speak.
