Chapter 47: The Big Day

Whaaaat? Two chapters within 24 hours? Who am I? 😳

Author's POV:

    Jimin could hear music as he was lead down the hallway. He felt butterflies, but not the kind a person normally feels on their wedding day. It was more like the kind someone feels when they're on their way to face their biggest fear. He wanted to cry but no tears would form. Before he could realize it, he was standing in front of two huge double doors. Everything went silent for a moment and that's when the doors opened revealing a beautiful garden with an isle leading to Jungkook and a priest.

    He gripped the bouquet in his hands tightly wanting to hide behind it. He didn't notice that he was frozen until Ms. Lee nudged him to walk. His breath quickened as he got closer and closer to the end. He didn't want to do this anymore. He thought about turning around and running away, but when he looked back there were guards blocking every potential exit. There was no going back now.

As he kept walking, he noticed that other people were there in the audience. He wondered who they were and how Jungkook got them to come. The strangers looked at him fondly, probably very happy for him. If only they knew that this wasn't any regular old wedding, maybe they'd pity him instead. He looked to his left and saw Jihyun. His face was the only familiar one in the crowd and it looked just as miserable as his.

He looked back forward and realized that the isle was coming to an end. Jungkook was right in front of him now holding his hand out for the other to grab. He looked very handsome. Jimin was sure that he could have anyone he wanted, but why did he want him so badly? Why was he doing any of this? Jimin's thoughts were interrupted once Jungkook cleared his throat. Jimin noticed that he'd been standing there frozen again.

He took Jungkook's hands and kept his head down as the ceremony began. The priest went on and on about what marriage meant and how the two would be bonded together forever. It was making Jimin sick to his stomach. Not after long the man asked for the rings. Once he did, a man stood up and Jimin recognized him. It was the same man from that horrible night that scarred him mentally and physically. The man smirked at Jimin sending chills down his spine before handing the ring to Jungkook.

"Thanks Jackson." Jungkook took one and gave the other to Jimin. "I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness. As I place it on your finger, I commit my heart and soul to you. I ask you to wear this ring as a reminder of the vows we have spoken today, our wedding day." With that Jungkook slide the ring on Jimin's tiny finger. Jimin looked closely at it realizing that it was the same ring he gave to Namjoon for evidence. How did Jungkook have it again? "Your turn Jimin." Jungkook smiled.

Jimin took a deep breath. As he repeated after the priest. "I will forever wear this ring as a sign of my commitment.. and the desire of my heart." Jimin spoke with no emotion. It was like he was reading a script. It wasn't until the next part where he started feeling the effects of what he was actually saying. "This ring I give to you is a token of my love and devotion to you. I pledge to you all that I a-am and all that I will... that I will.. ever be.. as your husband. With this ring, I g-gladly marry you.. and join my life.. to yours."

    Jimin could even make him self believe this lie. How could he gladly marry the man who kidnapped him, murdered his friend, and threatened his family. After a few minutes, he felt Jungkook squeeze his wrist so he looked up. Everyone's eyes were on him. He hadn't realized that he had been tuning everything out.

"What?" Jimin asked as he wasn't really paying attention.

"I said, do you, Park Jimin, take Jeon Jungkook to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold for richer or poorer till death due you part?" The priest repeated. Jimin gulped looking around. He wanted to scream 'no' to the top of his lungs. Jungkook, who was in a hurry, sensed his hesitation and leaned in to whisper in his ear. Jimin flinched as he did.
