REVENGE BRIDE

19. '' THE UNEXPECTED ''

Yn felt exhausted after greeting countless guests. The noise and chatter around her blurred as she tried to focus on the events unfolding. The time for the wedding rituals had come, and everyone began gathering in the hall near the stage. Jungkook stood tall and composed, looking every bit the part of a perfect husband, but his eyes never strayed far from her.

The groom-Jin-stood at the altar, a radiant smile on his face as he waited for his bride. Yn's heart skipped a beat, but it wasn't the groom who caught her attention. It was the bride herself, walking toward Jin with grace and elegance. And that's when Yn froze.

The bride was none other than her best friend, Rose. She could hardly believe her eyes. And leading Rose toward the stage was none other than Yoongi. Her mind raced as she took in the shocking sight-her best friend was marrying Jin without even telling her, and Yoongi was playing a part in it too, escorting the bride like it was nothing. She felt a tight knot form in her chest, emotions flooding her. Anger. Hurt. Betrayal.

How could they do this to her? Why hadn't they told her? Yoongi-her best friend-was the one helping Rose get married, and not once had he mentioned this to her that she is the getting married to jin . Yn had been in the dark the entire time.

Despite the storm brewing inside her, she forced herself to calm down. She had to hold it together, at least until after the wedding. The rituals had to be completed first. She couldn't show her pain, couldn't let anyone see the cracks forming beneath her calm exterior.

Yoongi gently placed her hand in Jin's, and Yn, despite her own turmoil, forced a smile. But she couldn't ignore the tears brimming in Yoongi's eyes, the way his fake smile barely masked his pain. It cut her to see him like that, and for the first time, she saw just how much Yoongi had been hiding. His love for Rose-his heartache-was now so painfully obvious, but there was nothing she could do about it. She was just as helpless in this moment as he was.

Meanwhile, Jungkook's gaze never left her. He watched as her emotions seemed to shift from one extreme to the next, and it unsettled him. He couldn't take his eyes off her. Was she hurting? Was she angry? Her changing expressions made him uneasy, but he didn't know why. He could see something was off, but he wasn't sure what it was. He only knew he didn't like it.

The wedding rituals continued, and the priest finally said those fateful words-"You may kiss the bride." The hall erupted in applause as the couple shared a passionate kiss, sealing their vows. Yoongi stood there, watching his childhood friend marry the love of his life. A bittersweet smile crossed his lips, but his heart was breaking. He was happy for them, but the pain of seeing Rose with Jin, knowing she would never be his, was too much.

Yn's heart ached as she watched Yoongi's subtle pain. She wanted to reach out to him, to say something, anything, but she felt just as trapped in her own grief. She held it all inside, just like Yoongi did, but it was suffocating her.

Soon, it was time for the guests to congratulate the new couple. Yn and Jungkook made their way through the crowd, stopping to offer their congratulations to Jin and Rose. As soon as Rose saw Yn, her face morphed into a scowl, and she marched up to her.

Rose: (frustrated) Where the hell have you been, Yn? I've sent you so many messages, called you a thousand times. But it looks like I don't even exist to you anymore!. (sad face).

Jin consoled her.

Yn's confusion deepened as Rose continued to scold her. She had received no calls or messages from Rose. Had something gone wrong? But before she could say anything, Rose was already going on about how upset she was.

Yn looked up at Jungkook, who stood beside her with a smirk on his face. Her heart sank as their eyes met-he had done this. It was him, not Rose or Yoongi, who had orchestrated this whole mess. Jungkook had blocked her from receiving any of Rose's calls or messages.
