Jimin felt his heart drop at the sight of unshed tears in Taehyung's eyes. The eye contact lasted only a second before Taehyung fled from there.

The priest cleared his throat.

"Park Jimin?"

The hall was silent.

Jimin's eyes trailed Jungkook's figure as he ran after Taehyung.

He looked back at the priest, then at Jongin.

"Do you take Jongin as your lawfully wedded husband?" the priest repeated, ignoring the awkwardness that lingered in the air.

Jimin swallowed the lump.

Just two words.

That's all that was needed from him.

Two words.

He took a breath.

He made a choice.

"I don't."
