A Night-Long Lament

wedding day

(Your POV)

(Slightly sensitive topics this chapter)

You look at your dress for the wedding today. It was a floral halter dress that was a baby pink with light yellow flowers. The bottom of the dress was poofy but thin. Remembering your dress from the ball, this one was more to your taste and less showy. The memory makes you itch your back.

The maids come to your aid and style your hair into a bun and stick daisies as well as other white flowers to adorn your hair. Looking at yourself in the mirror, you smile. You then make your way down to the dining room where you were informed to gather with the others.

Noticing you were late, your entire face flushes with a bright red. "S-Sorry, I'm late..."

Taehyung approaches you first. "You... You look so astounding Y/N!" Jimin follows up next to Taehyung and grips your hand.

"Lovely, Y/N." He bends down and pecks the back of your hand, making you flinch. Jimin laughs and Taehyung smiles.

You then notice how they're dressed. Both of them are in black pants accompanied with a black jacket, but Taehyung is where a pastel yellow shirt under with a white tie and Jimin is wearing a maroon shirt with a black bowtie.

"W-Wow! both of you look so good!" She blurts suddenly. Jimin and Taehyung look at her and smile. Taehyung's cheeks flush into a pink, as well as Jimin's.

After greeting the rest of the brothers and their escorts, you finally make it to Jungkook. Dressed in all black and hair gently parted to the side, he looks down at you and chokes.

"Y/N-" He coughs.

You sigh. "Sorry, I'm sure you'll dread today, but please bear with me, at least for the sake of everyone else."

Jungkook exhales. "I--"

"We're going to be heading out now, please step inside your assigned car with your escort." Jin proclaims.

You and Jungkook are separated from the rest of the group. As you both take a seat Jungkook stares at you.

"Uh-"

The car ignition cuts you off, so you decide not to finish your question. The car ride went slow, probably because of the tension between you two. You didn't mean for it to be this way, but it just was. To break the ice, you try to start up a conversation.

"Y-You look rather handsome today, Jungkook." He turns his head from the window and looks at you.

"Thanks." He says blankly.

I mean, at least he said thank you for this time, the last time I tried to compliment him he just left.

The thought of it brings a smile to your face. Jungkook looks at you sideways and lets out a tiny laugh.

"You look nice too, Y/N." The way he said the compliment and your name together, made you develop goosebumps on your arms and legs.

"U-Uh T-Thanks." You reply awkwardly.

The car stops abruptly, making you fall forward, hitting your face on the chair.

Jungkook chuckles, looking at you rub your red nose. You frown at him and step outside the car.

You spot Jin in the distance and waddle over to him in your uncomfortable heels. "Jin!" You call happily.

Jin looks over at you and his cheeks become a tomato red. "Y-Y/N! You look amazing, I'm in complete awe." Jin breathes.

"You look dashing yourself, Jin." You smile at him, but Jungkook pries you away from him.

Jungkook scoffs. "You said it yourself, we're together all day today, don't go running off to someone else."
