Chapter 11: Your Wedding Dress, Revisited

I thought we already did this chapter? ~SunRi

Choosing a wedding dress and actually already having one are two entirely different subjects, Sunny. ~JooLi

We're going to talk about the things you have to do once you have a dress. ~AeYoung

Like fittings, alterations, that kind of stuff. ~HyeBin

Wedding gowns are overrated! ~SunRi

Says the girl who wanted to wear an altered slip! ~SoRi

That was your idea! ~SunRi

I was joking, cukoo-head! ~SoRi

*giggle* Anyway, once you have your dress, make sure you'll have time to schedule some fittings before your wedding day. ~AeYoung

Because your weight's going to fluctuate until then. ~JooLi

Wedding planning makes you either want to eat yourself into a coma or have no appetite, so it really depends on how you handle stress. ~SoRi

In which case, you'll learn just how important appearances are to your groom. ~SunRi

Sunny! ~SoRi, AeYoung, HyeBin and JooLi

What? I'm just saying! ~SunRi

*sigh* ~SoRi, AeYoung, HyeBinandJooLi

*****************************

Living with Kyuhyun soon fell into a familiar routine for Misa in the weeks that followed. She was the first to wake in the morning, leaving well before the sun or Kyuhyun rose (or Zhoumi, for that matter), always placing a kiss on his cheek as she left for the bakery. From there, she spent the majority of her day working alongside her family, doing what she loved.

When the clock struck four, however, she would hang up her apron and call it a good day. Bidding farewell to her parents and whatever siblings happened to work that day, Misa would leave the bakery and immediately head back to the apartment. Zhoumi, who occupied his time by attending the nearby university, was always there to greet her, as Kyuhyun had predicted. Sometimes Donghae was there as well or Ryeowook would show up to invite her over to the dorm to cook, a habit that they'd form together, as they were the only ones the others allowed near the kitchen.

Although she had initially balked at the idea of being "baby-sat" Misa had to admit that she was really enjoying all the extra time with the Super Junior boys. It gave her a chance to grow even closer to the boys she didn't get to spend as much time with (like Yesung, Hankyung and Kangin), plus, it distracted her on the days that Kyuhyun had promotional activities and whatnot, and wouldn't return until later that night.

With her days full and occupied with Kyuhyun's members, as well as her own family, Misa looked forward to the quiet and calm the nights offered. Being on the 11th floor of a high rise gave her a spectacular view of the city at night. Sometimes she caught herself just standing at the window in the living room, staring out, lost in thought. It was one way she liked to unwind after a day of work and the hustle and bustle of life.
