"Congratulations on your wedding Taehyung! Welcome to the family, Jiyeon!" Namjoon said as he raised his glass. The others too stood up to clink their glass with Namjoon's. 

"Thank you for celebrating with us. Especially you, Seokjin, for preparing a small party in your restaurant though I don't see the need to have this celebration. Whatever it is, thank you!" I pour another glass of wine into his glass. 

"Well, it's a great day to celebrate! I know, we all know you have a reason behind this sudden wedding. But I am sure you will tell us someday. Whatever both of you have decided, we are always here, supporting you." Seokjin said. 

"And you too, Jiyeon!" Yoongi continued, gesturing his glass pointing to Jiyeon. 

Seokjin had prepared a three- course meal to celebrate our wedding. One year wedding, to be exact. Both Jiyeon and I agreed not to over celebrate the wedding since it is just a short wedding. 

Though I am now lawfully married to Jiyeon, I still think about my decision, on agreeing to this marriage. I still remember the talk between us on that night. 

*********

"Marry me. You are one of the powerful seven! Marry me, and there will be no reason for him to overruled my marriage to you. I am sure you are the best candidate to be my husband. No doubt." 

"What's in for me? What do I gain from this marriage?" 

"Reputation. Getting rid of your playboy image? You will turning into a wonderful family man. With my grandfather's name, you name too, will bloomed in this industrial world, your business! Your name, add on with my grandfather's no one dares to touch you. Even insects! I'll offer you the hospital shares. Once I have acquired the hospital, I will be giving you 5% of the company share, or better yet, name it. Name whatever you want, we will talk about it once I gotten hold of the hospital. One year, that's all I'm asking." She offered. I gave it a slight thought. 

After a few seconds of silence, I answered "What about the hospital share and also a wish? Grant me a wish and 5% of the hospital share."

"What wish?"

"For me to think. I will tell you once I am sure about it."

Without a second thought, she agreed. "Deal."

"We will sign a contract the first thing in the morning!"

"Taehyung? Taehyung? Husband, honey?" The endearment that echoed in my ear gets me out from my dazed. "What?" 

I saw Jimin nudged his elbow towards Jungkook signalling him to look at us. "Look at them, Jungkook, calling each other's names now." Jimin whispered to Jungkook but was enough for me to hear him. The others were busy enjoying the food, drinking and taking pictures. Jitae was sitting on Haebum's lap. Hoseok crunched his face, making silly faces to the giggling Jitae. I bet Hoseok will be a great father to his little rays of sunshines.  

"Yes, cinnamon?" I asked my wife. "Nothing, it's just that you were in dazed. Are you regretting it now?"

"Uh, no. I am not." I smiled at her. 

"Okay." She said softly. She took my hand which was on my lap, and caressed it lightly. "Thank you again, Taehyung."

I raised up my glass towards her and said, "Let's just enjoy the start of our marriage." For a year. 

The night of the celebration have come to an end. Before going off, the boys including both Haebum and Lynnia said their congratulations once again to us. 

"Enjoy your night love birds." Lynnia winked and whispered something to Jiyeon. Namjoon pulled Lynnia off from Jiyeon and covers her mouth. "Can you please just turn off your chatterbox?" Namjoon hissed. "So, now you're telling me I'm loud, but that was not what you said last ni--" she stopped as her mouth was covered by Namjoon's hand. Instead of Lynnia, Namjoon's face grew red in embarrassment. All of us laughed seeing the two of them. 

"It's about time, Namjoon." Hoseok smiled, patting his back, while still intertwining his fingers with his wife. Hoseok is a much more of a sunshine now that he has found the love of his life. 

One day, I wish to find someone to stand beside me like Haebum does like he always said "Together, Always and Forever."

"Anyways, lower down your voices." I whisper- yelled towards them. I placed my forefinger against my lips asking them to keep quiet, as Jitae is sleeping in my arms. All of them stayed silent. Haebum than let go off his husband's hand and hugged Jiyeon. "Congratulations, Jiyeon. I hope this time, is a happy ending for you. I hope the rainbow has finally arrived to colour your life beautifully. No more rainstorms. He is a great guy." I saw Jiyeon mouthed a silent thank you and tears were pooling in her eyes. 

Rainbow? 

Rainstorms?

Happy ending?  I wondered what had happened.

"We better go now." I said, shrugging off my previous thoughts. Seeing Jiyeon controlling herself from crying, I feel to urge to embrace and sooth her.

Remember, this is just a contract. She is just an attraction. 

The two of us got into the car, with Jitae still sleeping in my arms, heads off home. 

Jiyeon moved most of their things, from clothes, to Jitae's toys, to my house a week before the marriage. I let Jiyeon stay in one of the guest room, and Jitae in another room. I've hired an interior designer to change both guest rooms to their likings. Of course, Jiyeon still keeps it simple, while Jitae's room was designed to be all superheroes theme. 

We've adjusted our daily schedules pretty quickly once Jiyeon had moved into my house. She resumed back to work, immediately after perfectly heal, though she sometimes let out a small wince at home, but being hot headed woman she is, she insisted on getting back to work. Jitae, on the other hand, have been registered into a school nearby, so it is easy for my housekeeper to pick him up after school. 

I stretched my hand up in the air, covering the sun rays that were blinding my eyes. My eyes caught the sparkling band on my fourth finger. I twirled the ring as I remembered the fact that I am now a husband, and a father. 

I rubbed my face with both of my hands when I heard a vibration from the side table next to my bed. Reaching for my phone, I answered it without looking at the screen. 

"Hello?"

"What time is it now, Taehyung; and you are not awake yet? It's 10AM in the morning!" I pulled my phone away from my ear not wanting to hear the early morning nagging. My bedroom door was opened, and Jitae climbed up onto my bed and hugged me. "Good morning, Daddy!"

"I just woke up. How's Bali?" I asked while rubbing Jitae's back who was laying on top of my body. 

"Is that my him, I heard? Oh my God!" She squealed. "I'm coming in an hour. I can't wait to meet my daughter in law and also my grandson!"
