Hoseok spent the rest of the days leading up to the wedding in mental turmoil. All the memories he had made with Jimin, were being relived in his mind, and it was the last thing he wanted to happen.

Taehyung helped him through it, trying to make him see the brighter side of things. Once Jimin got married, he would leave Hoseok alone forever, and that's what he wanted.

Right?

Hoseok couldn't sleep either, spending most nights gazing up at the ceiling as his thoughts ran rampage, and while listening to Taehyung's steady breathing.

His mind was plagued by the word Jimin, the name repeating over & over again, as if it could make him return back to the days where he loved Jimin unconditionally.

But he couldn't go back, and he out of all people knew that, because Jimin didn't love him anymore either. It kind of tied into the whole 'just fucking move on' concept that Hoseok could never seem to grasp.

So here he was, staring up at the ceiling again, trying to find a place in his mind where he could shut out Jimin forever.

One night, as he lay there, he noticed that Taehyung's breathing wasn't deep or steady, as it usually was when he was asleep. Hoseok turned over to his side, seeing that Taehyung was facing him, eyes wide open.

"You're awake."

"So are you."

Hoseok chuckled, the way they both just stated the obvious being quite humorous. Then, he decided to look into Taehyung's eyes instead.

Hoseok found that looking at Taehyung was much more pleasing then looking at the ceiling.

"You're worrying about the wedding, aren't you?" Taehyung whispered, reaching out his hand to cup the side of Hoseok's face. Hoseok leaned into the touch, closing his eyes, and slowly nodding.

"I can't help it." Hoseok replied.

Taehyung smiled softly, wrapping his arms around Hoseok's body. "It's alright to be worried, I would be worried as well if I were in your situation."

Hoseok sighed, relaxing into Taehyung's hold, letting all of his worries and negative thoughts leave out the otherwise empty space.

Taehyung was right, Hoseok realized. Jimin was merely something that had happened in the past, and things that happened in the past were meant to be left there.

All Hoseok needed to do was let go.

Soon, the weekend of the wedding was upon them, and Taehyung was busy packing clothes and RSVPing to Jimin's invitation while Hoseok was working.

Victoria's Flower Shop was now a chain business, with multiple locations across the country. Hoseok often prided himself on making the business become successful, with the help of Taehyung of course.

Right now, Hoseok worked at one of the shops near his house. He was the manager, and CEO of course, and if he was to be gone for a couple days, he needed to make sure everything was in place in order for business to go on as usual.

Then, the weekend of April 15th arrived, and Hoseok found himself staring out the passenger side window as Taehyung drove them to the wedding location.

It was to be held in the mountains, at a small summer resort. The ceremony would be held in a small flower field, filled with lilac and daffodil flowers, fitting the yellow & purple theme, and then the reception would be held at the hotel close by.

Hoseok hoped it would rain.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Taehyung asked, placing his hand on Hoseok's knee, wanting to know if Hoseok wanted to change his mind before they pulled out of the driveway.
