A/N

Sorry it took so long, but here it is!

*****

"Aish, what if he doesn't like it? What if he thinks I look a mess!" you exclaim, wringing your wrists in distress. Your hands move down to smoothen out the non-existent creases in your white dress, before reaching up to fix the diamante tiara perched in your hairdo. Minji places her hands on your cheeks and brings your face up to her eye level, careful not to smudge the delicate amount of makeup you're wearing.

"Y/N! Look at me. Of course he will like your dress, you look absolutely stunning. So snap out of it!" she says sternly, snapping her fingers in front of your face and causing you to flinch slightly. You sigh before letting your tense arms drop to your sides.

"Sorry, I'm overreacting. It's just...," you look her in the eyes before staring at the floor. "I'm scared, Minji,"

She takes a hold of your shoulders and turns you around so that you are looking at yourself in the mirror. She stands behind you with her hands still resting on your shoulders.

"I know you are. I felt exactly the same way on mine and Taehyung's wedding day. But you were there to guide me through, and now I'm going to be here for you too,"

You look at her in the reflection and smile, forever grateful for the best friend that's always been by your side in times of need. Then your eyes shift and you look at yourself.

A mixture of nervousness and excitement dances in your own eyes. You don't look away when the hairdresser peeks her head into the room.

"Miss, it's time,"

Another little wave of nerves washes over you, and Minji squeezes your shoulders in reassurance.

"Ready?"

You smile at your reflection, a small amount of confidence building up inside you.

"Ready as I'll ever be,"

*****

Minji links her arm through yours, and you try to mentally prepare yourself for the breathtaking sight of the man that you are soon to spend the rest of your life with. You know that on the other side of this door is a new chapter of your life, and you can't think of anyone else in the world that you'd rather start it with.

You give Minji a little nod, and she pushes open the doors to reveal the altar just a short distance away.

Although you tried to be ready, his amazing looks still catch you off guard every time. You see his tall figure standing at the altar, still that same amazing man that you fell in love with. Even after being with him for nearly 4 years, you still can never work out how he manages to make a classic suit and tie look so flipping good.

You stare at him as you walk up the aisle, your friends and family who are seated either side of your path and your brother who stands to the side of the vicar blurred out of your focus. All you see is his dark eyes staring into your own with as much adoration as yours reflect. Your intense gaze doesn't even break as you pick up your long skirts and veil and step onto the altar, and your hands are placed in his larger ones. As the vows flow out of your mouths, neither of you can peel your eyes away from each other for even a second. Not that you even try.

The vicar says his final words. That signature smirk graces his lips as he looks down at your own, a reminder that he's still the same flirty, annoying jerk that always tried to hit on you at work.

His hand rests on the small of your back as he pulls you in. His soft lips are against yours, moving slowly and softly and sending butterflies through your stomach. You'll never get used to that feeling. You lose yourself in the kiss, just like the first time and all the times in between.

He might be the same in many ways, but only those lucky enough to get close will know that Jungkook has another side to him. Underneath that confident, humorous and slightly arrogant exterior is a caring and sensitive person. He is the only person in the world that can make you feel so many things at once, and in the end, that's why you love him. He makes you feel protected and safe, but he also makes you feel cared for. He makes you feel inspired, and he makes you feel strong and proud. He can bring you sadness and strife, but he can also replace your tears with laughter and happiness ten times as fast. He is the love of your life, and your everything. Jungkook is your home.

Your friends and family cheer as you break the kiss and smile at each other. His beautiful smile never fails to leave you in awe. He takes your hand, leading you down the aisle towards the waiting limousine decorated with white ribbons. He discreetly places his hand a little lower than your lower back and throws you a cheeky wink. You smile giddily at him and lightly swat his arm away. Yes, he might still be in many ways, an annoying jerk.

But as you look at each other with both of your eyes sparkling with happiness, that's when the realization really hits you.

He's your annoying jerk.
