Min Ho and Joon arrived at the church. They passed the back entrance to avoid the cameras and people. Min Ho's phone rang.
"Yeoboseyo?" Min Ho answered as he opened the door to the groom's waiting room. Joon followed in after him and closed the door.
"Ne," Min Ho nodded as Yoo Rin told him your dad wasn't going to come, "ne, my best man will?" Min Ho's eyes widened.
He looked at Joon, 'Inviting him here already is a step to his death, but him walking her down the aisle...that's too much.'
Min Ho sighed, "Ne. Araso. See you soon."
Min Ho put his phone back in his pocket and looked at Joon, "Joon?"
"Yo?" Joon looked at him with a big smile.Min Ho took in a deep breath, "You'll walk my bride?"
Joon's jaw dropped, "Me?""Yeah," Min Ho nodded, "her father won't be able to come."
"Oh, okay." Joon slowly smiled.
"Awesome." Min Ho smiled and looked away, 'I'm sorry.'
"Seul Gi-yah ppali!" Yoo Rin pulled you into the car.
"Aish." You hissed as you got in the car, "Umma!"
"What?" Yoo Rin looked at you, "I'm excited."
You rolled your eyes, 'Oppa I hope you'll recognize me before I get married.'The car arrived at the church and you mom yanked you out of the car and rushed you to your waiting room.
"Ppali help her with the dress!" Yoo rin told the bride's maid.
They all helped you with getting ready, but you're was getting pounding in pain. You were thinking of ways to get out of this wedding and run to Joon, but it was impossible.
"Stay here," Yoo Rin told you, "I'm going to find out who the best man is."
You nodded.
"You don't know who the best man is?" one of your bride's maid asked.
You and Yoo Rin looked at her.
"It's Lee Joon."
Your eyes widened and your heart shattered into pieces. Your eyes started getting teary and you felt like you couldn't breathe. Even your mom was shocked at the name.
'My god, does Lee Joon know?' Yoo Rin looked at you, she could see the tears threatening to fall from your eyes.
'I knew he was coming today but I didn't know that he was the one who's going to give me away.' You took in deep breaths to calm your palpitating heart.
"Ya," Yoo Rin shook you, "gwaenchana?"
You choked back the tears, "N-ne."
"Come on, three minutes." Yoo Rin helped you up, "take off your locket."
"Aniyo," You held your locket, "take this out and I swear you'll regret it."
"Okay." Yoo Rin sighed and pulled you out of the room.
Every step you took away from that room were deep stabs to your heart.
'Oppa, I'm so sorry.' You saw Joon's back up ahead and your legs started to weaken. He was wearing what he wore to he party before.
"Joon-ah." Yoo Rin went to him.
Your heart tightened.
Joon turned around with a smile and that smile fell the moment he met eyes with you, 'ANDWAE, MALDO ANDWAE.'
You timidly walked up to him.
"You will walk her down the aisle when you hear the music." Yoo Rin told Joon before walking away.
You and Joon sadly starred at each other, undecided of what you should do. Joon saw sadness in your eyes and you saw the same in his.
'Say something.' You both thought.
"Is this why you came back?" Joon choked, "to get married to Min Ho, right after you tell me-"
"Ani," You stopped him, bit your lower lip and choked back your tears, "it was a deal. I come to see you but I marry Min Ho. It's either that or I don't see you at all...even after I marry him."
Joon shook his head, "After everything we've been through," he looked at you with pure sadness, "I still can't-" he looked away with a shaking fist.
You couldn't control your tears anymore, "Take me away oppa." tears trailed down your cheeks.
Joon's eyes widened, "B-bwoya?"
"I can't take this anymore," more tears trailed down your cheek, "I want to be with you, not Min Ho! I've always wanted you..."
Joon blinked and right at that very moment the music played. Your heart tightened and you couldn't breathe anymore. Joon looked at you and wiped away your tears.
"I walk down this aisle," you sniffled, "I will forever be Min Ho's," you looked straight into his eyes, "but my heart was and always will be yours."
Joon's heart shattered into pieces. He wanted to take you away but he didn't know how. He didn't want Min Ho and your mom to come after him. He took in a deep breath and took your hand, "Come on," Joon faced you to the door, "they're waiting."
Your eyes widened, "You're giving me to Min Ho?"
Joon nodded, "I love you enough to let you go."Your heart pounded hard and you felt numb. It was like the world and meaning of life was sucked out of you at that very moment. The doors opened and flashes of cameras went on.
'This is it.' You took in a deep breath, 'Good bye oppa.'
'Good bye, Seul Gi-yah.' Joon bit his lip and forced a smile, 'Saranghae~'
