You are in a store, looking for the perfect wedding dress. Mark, in front of his family, asked you to marry him. Of course you said yes because you love him. You tried on different dresses with Mark's mom and one of his sister, Tammy and brother, Joey. You were a little surprised Tammy was here since a couple of weeks ago, she wanted Mark and Jessica to date.

"That looks beautiful!" said Mark's mom.

"You think so?" you asked while you looked at yourself in the beautiful, white dress. You turned around to face Mrs. Tuan and Tammy. "Think you so much again for coming with me."

"Of course!" said Ms. Tuan as she walked over to you. "You look so beautiful!" she said as she grabbed both of your hands. "I am so happy Mark has found a girl like you. He changed a lot. He has become a better man ever since he met you."

"I didn't do much."

"You stayed by his side, knowing you can't see him as much as a couple who doesn't travel to different places almost every month. You're strong."

"It's because I love him that I can't leave him. To be honest, even right now wearing this beautiful dress, it seems like it's all dream. I'm really excited and happy to soon be apart of your family."

"And we're happy to have you becoming apart of the family," smiled Joey. "By the way, you should get that dress. It looks amazing."

"I agree," said Tammy, which surprised you a little.

When Joey and Mrs. Tuan walked away for a few minutes, I stayed to continue to look in the mirror, not believing I'm in a wedding dress.

Tammy walke over to me. "____," she said.

You turned to her.

"You look really beautiful."

You couldn't help but smile. "Thank you."

"I'm sorry about before. I was listening to what my mom said and realized, she's right. You changed Mark in a positive way. I guess he is better off with having you by his side."

You wanted to cry happy tears. "Thank you so much, Tammy. Hearing you say that, it makes me so happy."

She smiled, knowing you were about cry and hugged you. "Please take good care of my little brother."

"I promise I will forever."

"Good."

"And Tammy? If it's alright, I would like K and L to be the flower girls."

"They are going to be so happy to hear that," she smiled.

You felt like you have an older sister now.

Joey and Mrs. Tuan returned empty handed.

"____, I think the one you're wearing is the best one," smiled Joey.

"Then I'll trust you Joey and get this," you smiled.

"Really!?"

You nodded.

After you bought the dress and a long day, Mark wanted to take you out. You guys walked around the city, holding hands, talking and laughing together.

"How was the dress shopping today?" asked Mark.

"We found a dress," you answered. "Joey helped picked it."

"Oh no. This is going to be bad."

"It's a beautiful dress!" you laughed. "Wau! This fells so unreal."

"Yeah," smiled Mark. "But I'm so happy you said yes. I feel like the luckiest man on Earth." He raised your hand he was holding and kissed the back of your hand."

"Of course I'm going to say yes! And I'm the lucky one here. You know, your mom said some amazing things to me today. And so did Tammy. I was so close to cry happy tears."

"What did they say?"

"You mom told me, she is so happy you chose me because I changed you and made you a better man. I tried to tell her I didn't do much, but she said I did."

"She's not lying. What did Tammy said?"

"She agreed. And she's also happy you chose me."

"Instead of Jessica?"

You stopped walking and looked at him confused.

"What?" he laughed. "You think I didn't notice my sister trying to get you out of my life so I could be with Jessica? I know her and I know what she's thinking. But I didn't want to get involve. I thought it was important for Tammy to realize herself that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me."

You wrapped your arms around Mark. "I love you."

"I love you too." He placed a gentle kiss on your forehead and you guys continued to walk.

"Mark, you know what? I think we should thank Junior oppa for all of this. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have met and then we would't have start dating, I wouldn't have met your amazing family, and we wouldn't be in the middle of planning out future together."

"Yeah. We should thank Junior for all of this."

When you guys got back to Mark's house, Jessica was waiting for Mark. She looked really upset.

"Mark!" she cried. "You're really marrying her?"

You and Mark looked at each other.

"Jessica," said Mark. "I really love ____."

"I thought she was going to be a girl you will soon let go of," she continued.

"I can't let go of ____," he said as he held your hand tighter.

"Why? For the longest time, since you left, I've been waiting for your return. Not a day goes by I dont think about you. I thought one day when you return, you would say you miss me."

"I miss you."

"And then tell me you love me."

"I'm sorry Jess. I love ____."

"But what about me? I'm the one who waits for you to return! I know you better than anyone!"

"You knew the old me. I've changed."

"That girl changed you."

"That girl name is ____ and she did changed me... into a better man."

"You were a great man."

"And now I am even greater because I have her by my side."

"Mark," you said, feeling touched.

Jessica left, heartbroken.

"I feel bad hurting her," said Mark. "But I can't loose you."
