Man-Child

Chapter 29: The Seamen

3rd Person's P.O.V

Classical music and the gentle waves of the sea filled the air. People were laughing, chatting and dancing away. The wedding reception was a blast, and nobody could keep their eyes off the newlywed couple.

Minji, for one, had her eyes glued to the groom all night. Every time he looked at her, she'd break into a huge grin.

"Why do you keep staring?" Taehyung grabbed Minji's hand, chuckling at her.

Minji frowned, and then scratched her head. "I always thought it'd be the other way around..."

The couple watched Namjoon talking to the guests in a royal blue dress. His new husband, Jin, was glued to Namjoon's side the whole evening.

Tilting his head to the side, Taehyung carefully looked at the two. "I suppose so... It did come as a surprise when he asked you to be his maid of honour..."

Mina – who was Minji's plus-one – emerged from the crowd and gave Minji an enormous hug. A smile spread on Minji's face as she hugged her friend back. "Oh, my God! Look at your belly!"

The two women looked down at the gigantic, pregnant tummy. "I know, right! I'm so excited I could burst!"

Minji held up her hand. "Please don't. Not at Namjoon's wedding. He doesn't need to see what weirdoes I hired to work at the spa."

Mina laughed exaggeratedly, putting her hand on her stomach. "Whatever. You're just jealous."

Frowning, Minji pulled her upper lip into a sneer. "No, of course not. Go through all the drama I went through with Jack again and labour? I don't think so." Taehyung- who Minji had forgotten was standing next to her – started chuckling lightly before pulling Minji closer to him. He rested his chin on her shoulder, holding her close. 

"Ah, shame. I can tell you guys miss him." Mina rubbed Minji's arm sympathetically. "At least you sorted things out with Taehyung. You two look really happy together."

Taehyung looked down at Minji, completely and utterly love-struck. Minji scoffed at the man, but she couldn't stop the pink dusting on her cheeks. "Yeah, whatever..."

"Speaking of which..." Mina looked slyly at the two. "When are you going to tie the knot?"

"Actually-"

"Pa-lease! This guy can't even commit to getting me pregnant. How do you expect him to commit to being married to me for the rest of his life?" Minji said humorously.

"That Christmas party thing was almost a year ago! Just let it go!" Taehyung whined, throwing his head back ever so slightly.

"Everyone thought I was pregnant for the next two months! Do you even have an idea how many bad baby jokes I had to put up with from Jungkook?"

"You told me that morning you felt sick and that your period was late! And I forgot to use a condo-"

"KIM TAEHYUNG, IF YOU MENTION ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT, YOU'RE SLEEPING ON THE COUCH!" Minji shouted, hitting Taehyung's shoulder.

Mina was screaming with laughter. In fact, Minji was worried that Mina might go into labour from how hard she was laughing.

"Attention, ladies and gentlemen!" Jin said loudly. The guests turned their attention to the man standing on the jetty. Minji quickly sent a glace at Mina, making sure she'd stopped laughing. "I would like you all to see Namjoon and I's wedding gift to ourselves." At the mention of a wedding gift, all the guests started chattering excitedly amongst themselves. "Bring her in, Babe!"
