The Prince's Gambit

Red Handed

Jimin walked the isle first with Jungkook by his side. Jungkook was the best man at the wedding so it was necessary for him to accompany Jimin. As Jimin was walking the photographer took some pictures. He looked over to his mother and father who were smiling brightly at their son. Finally, Jimin reached the altar he bowed at Pastor Yoon as Jungkook now made his way back to the seat. Jimin hasn't seen Dahyun yet because it is believed to be bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress before the ceremony. When Jimin looked at the end of the single-file hall that was covered in red velvet carpet, he saw an angel from above. He couldn't believe his eyes. How can woman look so beautiful? Dahyun gave a slight smile but she was very nervous as it was a long walk to the altar and all eyes were on her. Mr. Kim offered his arm which Dahyun gladly accepted. Dahyun felt the nervousness wash away as she walked arm in arm with her father to the altar. The photographer was once again immersed in taking photos while the rest of the crowd whispered to each other on how beautiful she was. When Dahyun reached the altar, Mr. Kim let go of her arm as they both bowed at Pastor Yoon. He then looked at Jimin briefly, "My daughter is in you hands" he said softly. "I will do my best" Jimin replied. Mr. Kim went back to seat before the official ceremony began.

Suga and Jin alerted the police that the mystery man was at the wedding. Soon a hunt began for this suspicious individual. Thankfully, he never got into the wedding so it couldn't be disrupted. He was outside roaming somewhere lurking like a snake in the grass. "HEY YOU!!!!" Suga yelled as he spotted a black camera in the trees. The mysterious man hopped off and began running into the woods. Suga tailed him with Jin following. Suga was an awkward runner and didn't have the best form but he was very elusive. He could run 10x as fast when he is really angry. The lanky Jin wasn't doing much better as his long legs covered a lot of ground but he wasn't agile in dodging the trees and branches. The police joined in hot on the trail and it was only a matter of time before the perpetrator would be caught. The mysterious man took a quick look back and saw a swarm of police men. "Stop!" "Put your hands up!" the chief officer said. The mysterious man stopped running. He realized he was surrounded and it was his time to surrender. 

He knelt down on both knees with his hands in the air while putting all of his equipment down. The officers quickly restrained him. "Who are you and why did you do this?" The man smiled gave an evil grin staring right into Suga's soul. "My name is Tanaka and I am a yakuza". "WHAT THE FUCK!" "A Yakuza!" "They are gangsters!" Jin yelled. Tanaka smirked "I was given a task and I tried to complete it". The chief officer looked him up and down. There were distinctive colored tattoos on his body. He has a scar running across his left eye and his right pinky was cut off. He was definitely a yakuza and he may have even been punished because his boss cut off his finger. "Who is your boss?" the chief officer asked which earned a laugh from Tanaka. "This wasn't a job from my boss". "It was a job from someone else". "They paid me a lot of money to do it". "WHO IS IT???!!!" Jin yelled in desperation while Suga ironically tried to hold him back. They call yakuza's lowlifes but what they don't understand is that we have really good connections and relationships with politicians and business companies". "Money runs the world and with a simple transaction, it can make a human do anything". "These clients who I worked for wanted Kim Dahyun dead". "In fact I think you should hurry because the real people who are behind this are inside the wedding right now" he said while laughing out loud. The police dragged him away in handcuffs but he kept on laughing like a maniac just like Joker. Suga eyes widened as he looked at Jin and the chief police officer. They had to stop the individual before they could ruin the wedding.   

Pastor Yoon now started the ceremony. "We gather here to unite these two people in marriage". "Their decision to marry has not been entered into lightly and today they publicly declare their private devotion to each other". "The essence of this commitment is the acceptance of each other in entirety, as lover, companion, and friend". "A good and balanced relationship is one in which neither person is overpowered nor absorbed by the other, one in which neither person is possessive of the other, one in which both give their love freely and without jealousy". "Marriage, ideally, is a sharing of responsibilities, hopes, and dreams". "It takes a special effort to grow together, survive hard times, and be loving and unselfish". Pastor Yoon took a deep breath before continuing. "Do you both pledge to share your lives openly with one another, and to speak the truth in love?" "Do you promise to honor and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together, through sorrows and joys, hardships and triumphs for all the days of your lives?" Jimin and Dahyun said "We do" while staring into each other's eyes. "Do you pledge to share your love and the joys of your marriage with all those around you, so that they may learn from your love and be encouraged to grow in their own lives?" Dahyun and Jimin said "We do" once more still staring into each other's eyes.

Jimin and Dahyun now must exchange their personal vows. They decided to exchange personal vows because it was their decision instead of the traditional vows. Jimin started off first. "I remember looking at the beautiful girl in the coffee shop like it was yesterday" Jimin smiled. The crowd laughed at his statement. "The first impression I got was that she was a hard-working and diligent girl". "As much as I am rich my soul was poor". "Kim Dahyun,  you healed my soul, you made my darkest days into the brightest". "I can't promise you that dark clouds will never hover over our lives or that the near future will bring us rainbows". "But I can promise you my everlasting devotion, my loyalty, my respect, and my unconditional love for a lifetime". "I can promise you that I'll always be there for you, to listen and to hold your hand". "I'll do my best to make you happy and make you feel loved". "I love you Kim Dahyun...". There was small cheering from the crowd but it must be quiet so Dahyun can exchange her vows.

Dahyun wished she got to go first because there were tears brimming in her eyes. She blushed and looked directly at Jimin before taking a deep breath. "When I first met you, I didn't know who you were". "The name Park Jimin means a lot of things to a lot of people but to me you are the most considerate and caring man". "I didn't fall in love with you instead I walked into it". "You take my insecurities and wash them away". "You endlessly compliment me without fail". "I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe that we are only fated to do the things that we'd choose anyway". "I'd choose you". "In a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you I'd choose you". "Thank you for making my dark mundane world bright again Park Jimin". "I love you so much" Dahyun said. The crowd now clapped and whistled at the couple. There was a huge "aww" at the end because the married couple was just too sweet. Pastor Yoon smiled at the both of them now continuing with the ceremony.

"May these rings be blessed as a symbol of your union". "As often as either of you look upon these rings, may you not only be reminded of this moment, but also of the vows you have made and the strength of your commitment to each other". Jimin slid the wedding ring onto Dahyun's finger and Dahyun slid the wedding ring onto Jimin's finger. "Go now in peace and live in love, sharing the most precious gifts you have the gifts of your lives united". "And may your days be long on this earth". "I now pronounce you husband and wife. "You may kiss the bride". Jimin cupped Dahyun's cheek and pulled her in for a passionate kiss. He kissed her as if it was their first kiss short but passionate. Dahyun's tears slid down her eyes during the kiss. It wasn't tears of sadness but tears of joy. They pulled out of the kiss still staring at each other's eyes while the crowd stood up out of their seats and cheered. Jimin and Dahyun were officially married.
