Between You & Me {KTH}

{18,7}

After the ceremony, waiters starts to put out the food.

As we eat, the newlywed walk around greeting the guests.

The couple arrive at our table to greet us all.

"Thank you for coming, I really appreciate you all." She thank us. "And oh my god! This two is really together!!" She said pointing her hand to me and Taehyung.

I look at taehyung and look back at her, with a smile.

They walk to us, me and taehyung stand up to congratulate them.

Jungkook stops infront of me as Jieun starts to talk to taehyung while I talk to Jungkook.

"Congratulations, Jeon Jungkook. From, your forever nothing." I smile slyly.

He seems surprised that I still remember that joke, but then he smile too. "Thank you, Song Haera.  congratulation to you too." he said.

I look at jieun and look back at him who's looking at her. "You hit the jackpot."

He look back at me and nod. "you too."

I look at Taehyung, and smile.

Who are we trying to fool, Kim Taehyung?

"You look amazing!" Jieun said as she observe me from head to toe.

I look at her and smile brightly "you look beautiful! congratulation!" I said.

"Thank you!" we chat a little more before the mc called the newly wed to sit on they seat.

"Sorry, but we need to go." they said and flee.

The best man, Park Jimin, take the mic.

"Hi, I'm Park Jimin. And for all of you who don't know, I was there throughout their whole relationship. I'm the living witness.

And never once have I ever doubt that this two will end up together." he smile slyly.

"This two has been separated, and found their way back together.

If there's anyone Jungkook's gonna be with, there's only Jieun. She has the power to make The Playboy Jeon Jungkook stayed single for 4 years. If that's not love, I don't know what is.

So congratulation on your wedding, hope you live a happy life, and Jieun, please be the wife who made the husband scared." he joke.

We all cheered.

Next is the newlywed first dance.

The music starts and we all watch them sway from side to side to the rhythm. They stare into each others eyes, before Jieun laugh and look down to calm herself.

It's obvious that they're in love.

In a way, that fact should make it easier for me to let him go. But I can't. It hurts. It still hurts.

I know he's happy.

God, look at him, he never looked happier.

His happiness should be my happiness.

But why can't I be his happiness.

I'm sorry. I'm so selfish.

Stop it Song Haera!

Look at them! Look at how they look at each other! They're happy! Be happy for them goddamn it!

You can't change it. They're married. And you can't do anything about it.

Let him go, Song Haera.

Set yourself free.

They finish their first dance with a kiss.

Then Jungkook walk up to the stage.

"I know we just danced to our song, but, I wanted to sing our song only you and I know.

Remember that one time we got into a huge fight. I called you over and over until you answer. And I sung this through the phone. And now, I want to sing it for you. And I hope you all don't mind joining us on the dance floor."

All the guest stand up and join into the dance floor. Taehyung stand up and ask for my hand.

I accept his offer and walk into the dance floor also.

Then the pianist starts to fill the room with soft melodies.

Jungkook's calming voice follows along.

I'm regretting it now
The day we fought
It was because of my needless pride
That I said, "let's end us"

I thought I'd see you soon after
I wanted you to come looking for me
But days pass
And there is no word

You were always so good to me
Maybe I took that for granted

Now I know, because of my stubbornness
How hard it was for you

Idiot, I didn't mean it literally
You still don't know me that much?
The person who has you is only me
Please don't leave me

I rest my head on Taehyung's shoulder as we dance.

"Are you okay?" He ask as he caress my hair and my lower back.

I nod. "This heels is killing me." I lie.

However, he knew my condition. He pull out his handkerchief and give it to me. "It's okay." He calmly said.

I accept it and dab it on my waterline. Careful not to smudge the makeup, and not to leave any trace of my sadness.

Cause I shouldn't be sad, I'm not sad. This is just my mental adjusting.

Always, you stood by my side
Without knowing to be thankful,
Immature me, the things I did only my way
Can't you forgive me?

Idiot, I didn't mean it literally
You still don't know me that much?
The person who has you is only me
Please don't leave

I only love you
Don't leave me like this
Don't throw me away
Just hug me
Come back, so we can love again

The last chorus hurts so much. It hits me hard that I refuse to lift my head up even after the song ends.

The other cheers.

"Thank you for coming back Jeon Jieun. I love you."

And the cheers got louder as I expect him to kiss her again.

The mc happily carry on the reception. The mc is actually our senior in high school, he's a famous wedding mc now cause of his happy aura. Jung Hosoek.

I try so hard to absorb his energy. I inhale and exhale 3 times before I lift my heads up with a smile.

I look at him, and for the first time, I see his eyes filled with worries.

"I'm okay." I mouth and look around.

Everyone is dancing, everyone is having fun.

I look back at him only to find his eyes still pivot on me.

To my surprise, he lift his hand and placed it on my cheek. He softly caress it a few times and smile.

"I'm here."
