I could recall myself walking down the aisle when it was my wedding and Taehyung waiting for me by the altar. Although it wasn't such a memorable day because our marriage was just arranged, I still considered it as one of the best days. Jimin stood by the altar in his white elegant suit. The grand piano was playing the piece I loved to hesr the most, "Here Comes The Bride".

His soon to be wife walked down the aisle, the tail of her wedding gown tailing behind her as she walks gracefully. Long veil on top of her head, a beautiful smile plastered on her face and a bundle of sunflower between her hands. Just a beautiful sight. I remember when I was once like her. I eyed Jimin and gave him a thumbs up and smiled. 

He took his soon to be wife, Hana's hand with a handsome smile and she herself was smiling up to her ears. As the ceremony started, Sul Hee being the flower girl sat below the stage, fidgeting a petal of sunflower while puffing her cheeks. She looks like Taehyung. The cathedral was quiet and only the voice of the priest was heard and the soft playing of the piano.

But one person caught my eye. Taehyung.. He sat by the second row at the opposite side with a girl, must be his girlfriend.  The other boys was with him except Jungkook who was Jimin's best man. My heart fell on the pit of my stomach upon seeing him. His smile was radiating and he looked deliriously happy. 

I felt my own breath leave me and my eyes averted to Sul Hee.  What if she runs to him and he pushes her away? I can't bare to see my daughter cry again. The long wedding ceremony soon ended and everyone applauded as Jimin kissed Hana. Sul Hee was giggling to the very sight and her whole face was blushing.

"Eomma!" Sul Hee exclaimed and ran to me. 
"Yes, honey?" I bent down to her height while raising my gown a few centimeters from the ground.

"When am I aloud to have a boyfriend?" She asked which made me choke on my own saliva.

"YA! Who said you're having a boyfriend?!" Jungkook butted in with his arms infront of his chest. "You're way too young! Be like your mom. She had a boyfriend after she finished her studies."

"Uhm..arraso, samchon." She chimed and grasped a handful of sunflower petals and throwing it on Jungkook's face.  She laughed out loud while Jungkook kept sneezing.  Poor boy...

"Why you, little girl!" He snapped and carried Sul Hee in his arms when Jimin called his best man and maid if honor which is me. Jungkook sauntered to the wedded couple carrying Sul Hee and I trailed behind. While the photo was being taken, Sul Hee was laughing and grabbing Jungkook's hair. They're always fighting...

"Congrats to you both! We'll see you at the reception!" I said as we all walked out of the cathedral, Jungkook still carrying Sul Hee.  I think it would be better if Sul Hee doesn't bump on his father. We used Jungkook's car with Hoseok and Yoongi car pooling with us.
They seated at the back, playing with Sul Hee and Jungkook was driving. If only we could just not go to the reception but then this is a big day for Jimin and he'd certainly benmad at me if I leave.  Not too long after that, we arrived at the reception area.

Surprisingly, Taehyung was already there with his girlfriend with Namjoon and Jin. I'm still happy that even though Taehyung and I are divorced and those guys were mad like a buffalo when they found out, they're still friends with him.

"Hey, you alright?" Yoongi nudged me and I came to realize I was staring at Taehyung for too long.

"Y-yeah. Why don't you guys take your seat. I'll be at the rest room." I said. "Ya! Jungkook take care of Sul Hee!"

"Sure.  Can she go near him?" He replied and when he said "him" his lips puckered to Taehyung. 

"As much as possible, don't." I replied and sauntered to the comfort room. I feel suffocated by his presence. Everything's being so sophisticated.  When I went to our table, the wedded couples just came and the snack bar opened and everyone went to take their noshes. I somehow just couldn't take my eyes of Taehyung. I still love him.

"Eomma, can I play with them?" Sul Hee asked and pointed at her fellow flower girls.

"Alright but don't go far. Just there." I allowed and she jumped off from here seat and ran to play. Not too long after that, the MC, Jimin's sister announced that all single ladies to gather around to catch the bouquet. Kara was about to haul me to the middle when I pulled my hand back.

"I'm not single." I said. What am I then? Kleah, you're an idiot.

"Yes you are!" Kara chimed and eyed Taehyung then increased the volume of her voice. "Your damn asshole husband just left you over some cheap bitch. You should really mingle around."

"Kara!" I smacked her hand but she glared at Taehyung who definitely heard everything she said. Ugh...damn it.

"So, why don't you just follow me?  You might catch the bouquet and get a better husband than that fuxking dick? The type of husband that won't leave you and your daughter." Kara said again, her voice so loud that Taehyung and the people in his table to hear it. For goodness sake, we just came from the church and she's swearing already.

She successfully yanked me to the middle and there was Hana, ready to toss the bouquet. I stood at the back, not really interested whether I catch it or not but unfortunately, it hit my head and land on Kara's hands behind me. Oh, just wonderful. My head hurts 

"OMG!! I GOT IT" Kara squealed then the single men gathered. Kara and I had to pull Yoongi, Jungkook and Hoseok to the middle.  Jimin twirled the band thing around his finger and tossed it to the crowd of boys. JaeBum caught it.

"Woah, let's call our next couple on stage!" The MC announced. Omg..It's Kara!!
I pushed Kara to the front and made her sit down on the chair.  Applauds and screams filled the area. She was blushing so hardJaeBum wore the band around her thighs and then there was the photo taken. Gosh..what a perfect couple.

Kara was squealing so hard then I noticed, Sul Hee was nowhere. I panicked and ran outside to find her and there I saw her sitting by the bench with a man in black suit.

"SUL HEE?" I called in a panicked voice. She turned her head with a smile plastered on her face but the man never turned. I ran to  her and she got off the bench to meet me.

"Who are y---" Well, I'll be damned.

Taehyung stood infront of me, emotionless.
"Eomma, Appa and I were just talking."

"Get back inside, Sul Hee." I demanded and gripped my gown tightly.

"But eomma I wa---"

"I SAID GET INSIDE!" I yelled which made her flinch and run back inside.

"You didn't have to yell at her." He spoke.  How I miss that voice.  How much I want to hold you close to me.

"How could you talk to her comfortably after pushing her away as if she wasn't your daughter when you left?" I asked, holding back my tears at the memory of my daughter falling in the ground, scrapping her elbow.

"I was apologising, Kleah. "

"DON'T even say my name." I said sternly. "Your apology won't make any difference. She'll still be bullied in school."
