"Today was the longest day of my life." She heard Yoongi groggily utter from her comfortable position, sprawled out on his California king bed.
The grueling wedding reception was unceasing in the large, rose-adorned ballroom of her husband's family mansion. They actually thought they may never be able to slip away from the onslaught of well-wishers all night. Worse, the bride didn't even know who the hell three-fourths of their guests were.
The only person that made her endure everything was the man beside her. She knew Yoongi was just as miserable as her the whole time. They were together in their suffering; it was almost romantic.
However, the second they entered Yoongi's bedroom, all of her weariness melted away. Now, her mind was all over the place, and her body was itching to get out of her custom-made Vera Wang gown and be somewhere else, preferably far away from the loud celebration downstairs.
"What now?" She asked the mobster who was sitting on a recliner, sipping his glass of Scotch neat.
"I don't know about you but I'm going to finish my drink, take a shower, then get some goddamn sleep."
Jennie snorted, "but it's our wedding night. Shouldn't we be doing something less boring than sleeping?"
Yoongi raised an eyebrow at that, a knowing smile formed in his thin lips. "What are you proposing, Jennie?"
Rolling her eyes at her husband's playful expression, she said, "most definitely not what you're thinking."
"Why not?"
She narrowed her eyes at him. Her husband must be out of his mind if he thought they could consummate their marriage on their wedding night when they were basically strangers to one another. "Let's get one thing straight here. You are not getting any tonight, Yoongi, so you better bury that expectation six feet under."
"Eh, there's no harm in trying," he shrugged and took a sip from his glass again.
She chose to ignore his side comment and just scrolled through Instagram to see the hundreds of photos of the wedding tagged to her account by their guests and several news outlets.
Then, the unrelenting thump of music from the ballroom seemed to get even louder, making Jennie groan. "Why don't we just get out of here? We won't be able to sleep with that noise outside anyway."
