Chapter 20: How to say Goodbye to Hallyuwood Matchmaker

"Who...?" he stammered, clutching the bouquet tighter in surprise.

She walked closer, and as the light softened, her face became visible—a stunning woman in an evening gown, her gaze fixed directly on Jimin. With a small, mischievous smile, she sauntered over to him, her eyes sparkling.

Just then, I saw Jimin rush over to her, sweeping her into a tight embrace. The crowd watched in awe as they shared a moment that seemed to freeze time.

"High school lovers..." I whispered under my breath, as everyone around me marveled at the unexpected reunion.

When they finally pulled apart, Jimin held her hand gently and brought her forward, his gaze softening with affection.

"I would like you all to meet Ms. Jung Yoon-ah, my high school classmate and... my very own secret admirer," he announced with a warm smile, his voice full of love. His words hung in the air, and I could practically hear the collective "Aww!" from the guests.

"To all those who are wondering!" Jin's voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention. "We had a secret poll last minute to ask the viewers whether Jimin deserved a chance, and I think we all know the result. Special thanks to the friend who suggested this little surprise," he added, giving me a knowing wink. "Now, let's get back to dancing!" he finished, and the room erupted in cheers.

Before I knew it, Jimin was pulling me into a tight hug, lifting me off my feet.

"No one else but you could've worked this magic," he whispered gratefully in my ear.

"Thanks, Y/n," Yoon-ah chimed in, hugging me too.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, come on, no big deal... except for that special section in your wedding that's going to be talked about for years," I teased them, both of them blushing furiously.

"Now go and catch up! You two haven't seen each other in years, right?" I urged them, giving them the space they needed.

But my curiosity got the better of me, and as I walked away, I couldn't resist eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Not alone," a voice suddenly startled me.

I turned to find Taehyung, Jungkook, Ishan, Kiara, and Jennie all standing behind me, equally as curious.

"Couldn't miss this," Taehyung grinned, nudging me playfully.

And just like that, the little group of us gathered behind a big pole, intent on hearing every word they said.

"I heard you caught the bouquet," Yoon-ah teased, tilting her head as she looked at the flowers in his hand. "Mind if I give you a reason to keep it?"

Jimin blinked, clearly trying to process the whirlwind of events. "Uh... I—I mean... yeah, sure," he stammered, his cheeks turning a soft pink.

We cheered, laughter and applause breaking the silence as Jimin, still slightly in shock, finally managed a smile.

I leaned over to Jungkook, smirking. "Looks like the twist worked even better than I planned."

Jungkook grinned, giving me a thumbs-up. "Now that's how you end a wedding."

We partied that night, letting loose and savoring every moment, fully aware that the whirlwind of drama, games, and events would finally come to an end tomorrow. We laughed, danced, and celebrated together, clinging to each fleeting second as if we could make the night last forever. It was a bittersweet, exhilarating farewell to the chaos that had brought us closer and left us with memories we'd never forget.

Next Morning

I woke up to sunlight streaming through the windows, hitting me right in the face like it was mocking me for staying up so late. I blinked, squinting at the view of this mansion one last time. It looked so glamorous, so extra, and for a moment, I couldn't help but sigh.
