big day

3rd PoV

The next day dawned blood red and bright gold, but the sun hadn't managed to rise before the Sankjin sisters.

The seven girls had gotten up at 5:00 AM, eaten breakfast and gone on a walk together, with Ana coming along as a photographer. They had a mini photoshoot in a nearby park as the sun rose, then went to the church, where everything was waiting for them.

The girls started getting their makeup and hair done, talking excitedly during it. They were anticipating wearing the dresses with excitement and a tiny bit of dread: because the dresses had corsets in them, and they weren't used to it.

Melody and the girls went out and had some pictures taken, then went inside the church. Francisca went up into the choir loft with Rosé, Jisoo, Wendy, Jihyo, Tzuyu and Solar, whose groups had all been invited to the wedding and had volunteered to sing, and looked down in pride and happiness as she watched Jin and Yoongi come out from the sacristy and stand by the entrance to the sanctuary. Jin kept clasping and reclasping his hands tightly in nervousness, while Yoongi looked over at him and grinned, leaning over to whisper something to him before the first bridesmaid who was Euphoria started down the aisle.

The groomsmen were lined up behind Yoongi and Jin, in order of Jungkook, Taehyung, Jimin, Hoseok and Namjoon. The bridesmaids were lined up in order of Euphoria, Rose, Lilac, Hope and Valeria, then Honey and finally Melody.

Euphoria walked up first while the other girls were still hidden by a curtain in the back of the church, and though she was singing, Francisca smiled at Jungkook's reaction: his eyes widened drastically and his mouth dropped open slightly, shock and awe at how beautiful she looked as love shone in his eyes. They met at the space before the sanctuary, turned and genuflected before separating again and going into their opposite pews. Taehyung had a similar reaction, but his mouth dropped open unceremoniously, and Rose had to cover her mouth with her lace gloved hand to stifle her laugh. Jimin in his turn couldn't stop smiling when he saw Lilac, Hoseok also smiled widely and subtly kissed Hope's hand as they genuflected, then Namjoon had a combination reaction of Jungkook and Jimin.

When Honey walked up, Yoongi who was usually so emotionless with his facial expressions, showed the most emotion on his face that his band-mates had ever seen. His eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and pride, love and amazement were prominent on his face. When Honey came up, he squeezed her hand tightly before letting go, looking over at her longingly.

But even Yoongi's golden reaction couldn't compare to Jin's reaction when he finally saw Melody. Words can't describe the look on his face, so I shan't try. 

The wedding ceremony went smoothly, with many tears and smiles of joy, and the whole day seemed to flash by in seconds. By the end, after all the cleaning in fancy dresses and suits because there was no time to change, the flower petals were swept up and hotels were gone to. Ten thirty pm found Honey, Hope, Valeria, Lilac, Rose, Euphoria, Yoongi, Hoseok, Namjoon, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook all in comfortable clothes, the girls' faces wiped clean of makeup and their hair in simple braids or ponytails, all eating together while talking. Over the whole group there hung a simple, satisfying aura, that could only be called one thing.

Serenity.
