The Wedding Planner

Chapter 8

"What? Pssh.. What? No, why would I be avoiding the groom of the wedding I'm planning?" I said after facing front without sparing a glance at Jimin behind me.

"Why are you here?" I asked. "Mrs. Son got worried and told me to watch you. Are you alright?" he asked with a voice I understood when he's worried. I can't push him to remember, maybe he had some kind of amnesia after 5 years so maybe that's why he can't remember me. Don't push it Chorong.

"Yes I'm fine, I just needed fresh air" I simply told him. "Really?" he asked and I just nodded "yeah, why? You don't believe me?" I asked. "Why aren't you sparing even a single glance at me?" he asked and I mentally cursed at myself.

"Because, I have my reasons" I answered. "How long have you been a wedding planner?" he asked. "For exactly a year, why?" I asked him. "No reason, how many weddings have you planned so far?" he asked. "A lot, Every month, there are maybe 5 weddings but I'm lucky that other wedding planners are chosen for it" I said.

"Is it fine with you?" he asked. "Of course, I can't be hogging up all the wedding and plan them all myself" I said. "No, that isn't what I meant. I meant, are you alright watching so many couples get happily married but here you are just planning them?" he asked. "It's more exciting to watch someone else's happy ending than your own" I answered.

"What?" Jimin's eyes widened like he was shocked with my answer. "When I was in high school, I used to be dreaming and planning my own dream wedding but I got so good at it that I became a wedding planner" looked down remembering how I always drew the perfect altar on the back pages of my notebook.

"What happened? Why didn't you have your own?" he asked. "In getting married, you need a partner, that's the thing I lack but then again, I can just plan millions of weddings and happily watch it happen from the end of the aisle" I imagined the first wedding I planned "it felt like I was a fairy god mother granting the bride and groom's wishes".

"You just want to watch from afar? That's it?" Jimin kept asking but I kept my temper and answered all of his questions. "I know it's lame but it's a great feeling for me, being jealous of them never even crossed my mind".

My phone began ringing then I picked it up and saw

Adorable Alien calling....

"Please wait, I need to answer this" I said and took a few steps away from Jimin then answered the call. "Taehyung? Why are you calling again?" I asked. "Chorong-ah~~~ I'm bored. Where are you?" he asked. "I'm still at the locations for the reception for your best friend's wedding" I answered. "Aw... Still please call when you're done" he said "Yeah yeah, I'll call bye Tae" I said then hung up.

"Was that Taehyung again?" Jimin asked looking down.

"Yeah, he says he's bored again" I said while a smile crept up my face. "You seem close with him" Jimin said. "Well, he called me out of nowhere after 5 years and we met up for a while. All we did was reminisce on high school memories" I said.

"Chorong?" I hummed in response to him. "Rong-ah?" he called again, but he only called me that in high school. Two can play at that game "Chim Chim?" I said with a smirk and he let out a laugh.

"You still remember that name?" he asked "of course, Mochi" I said with a bigger smirk. "Don't call me that, I'm not a mochi" he said. "Really? But it matches you so well" little did I know, I realized he did remember me.

"You remember?" I asked. "Sorry for recognizing you late, you just changed so much over the past 5 years" Jimin said "you got even prettier".

My heart was already racing, if my heart was in a race, it would win first place.
