THE WORDS I HOLD IN MY HEART

No One's p.o.v.

Chanyeol's and Baekhyun's wedding was finally here. They were getting married at Chanyeol's grandmother's house. She had an extensive backyard with beautiful landscape — it was the perfect setting.

Baekhyun's p.o.v.

Baekhyun was in one of the spare bedrooms upstairs getting ready. Luhan and Minseok where in the room with him, talking his ear off with their excited chatter. Baekhyun sighed, getting frustrated because he couldn't tie his stupid necktie.

"Ugh! I quit!" Baekhyun cried as he threw his necktie on the bed and huffed in frustration. Just then Kyungsoo entered the room, saying, "What are you quitting?" Baekhyun huffed again and glared at his necktie as he grumbled, "That." Kyungsoo glanced at the innocent tie and a grin cracked across his face. He chuckled as he asked, "Do you want me to help?" Baekhyun grumbled and muttered, "Yes, please." Kyungsoo walked towards Baekhyun and grabbed the tie off the bed. He muttered for Baekhyun to turn towards him, and grumbling, he did. Kyungsoo strung the tie under Baekhyun's collar and pulled it around to the front, then he did a bunch of things with his hands that Baekhyun couldn't keep track of, and that frankly, confused him.

"There. Finished. And might I say, you look striking," Kyungsoo said. Luhan stopped talking and looked over at Baekhyun, and just grinned widely as Minseok cried, "Oh my God! Baekhyun! You look fucking amazing!" Baekhyun smiled and turned towards the mirror, and he didn't want to sound vain or anything, but Minseok was right. His suit was freshly pressed, and the purest white — for starting over — with a silk black necktie. Baekhyun's hair was a soft light brown, and his eyes were lined with a thin line of eyeliner.

"Has Chanyeol seen you, yet?" Luhan asked. Baekhyun shook his head and muttered distractedly, "No. Yoora won't let us see each other until I'm walking down the aisle." Kyungsoo snickered and muttered, "Oh, that must suck." Baekhyun rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Hey, shut up, Soo." Kyungsoo crossed his arms and said, "Make me, Baek." Baekhyun shook his head and replied, "Nope. Not walking into that one." Kyungsoo grinned triumphantly. Baekhyun just rolled his eyes in annoyance.

3rd p.o.v.

About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door and Kyungsoo got up to answer it. Sehun pushed his away in, much to Kyungsoo's annoyance — as he tried closing the door on him.

"Awe, is someone jealous Chanyeol picked me as his best man?" Sehun teased as Jongin shoved into the room after him. "Hey. Stop teasing him, Sehun. Do you want to die?" Jongin asked. Kyungsoo glared at Sehun and retorted, "And so what, Baekhyun choose me!"

"You mean us!" Luhan interjected. Baekhyun smiled sheepishly — he hadn't been able to choose between them. Where as Chanyeol has been friends with Sehun for practically his whole life, making his decision easier. "Hey! Luhan! I was making a point, you idiot! Now you ruined it!" Luhan pouted and mumbled, "S-sorry, Soo." Sehun bristled and yelled, "Hey! Don't yell at him!"

Just then, the door opened again, and two more people pushed their way in and made themselves at home on the bed. Jongdae clasped backwards onto his back and asked, "Why are you guys yelling? We could hear you from two doors down." Junmyeon nodded and added, "Yeah, and Chanyeol wanted us to make sure you weren't torturing Baekhyun." Baekhyun sighed and mumbled, "They are torturing me."

"Hey! Shut up!" Kyungsoo and Sehun yelled together at Baekhyun. Baekhyun pouted and threw a pillow as he cried, "No! It's my wedding day, you're not suppose to yell at me!" Kyungsoo pushed Baekhyun over, knocking him onto his side as he said, "Stop being a baby!"

"Kyungsoo!" Baekhyun yelled as he hit him with a pillow. "Stop it! You'll mess up my hair. And if you ruin my suit, I'll freaking kill you!"

. . . .

"Are you nervous?" Yoora asked as she eyed her brother.

"No, I'm not nervous," Chanyeol said too quickly. Yoora sighed. "Why do you even try lying to me? It never works. I know you too well," Yoora said. Then, "So Chanyeol, are you nervous?"

Chanyeol sighed and muttered, "Wouldn't you be?"

Yoora smiled and turned to her brother, adjusting his shirt collar and tie, then smiled once he looked utterly perfect again. Chanyeol's suit was black, and to match Baekhyun's suit, his tie was white. Chanyeol had dyed his hair back to brown for the wedding because he didn't want the added attention of having bright red hair on top of getting married. Chanyeol, acting on instinct, shoved Yoora's hand away as he said, "Hey! Stop fiddling." Yoora frowned and smacked Chanyeol's arm, saying, "No! Stop being a baby! I'm helping you, stupid." Chanyeol sighed and rolled his eyes, dropping his arms and crossing them over his chest. Yoora pulled back and Chanyeol mumbled, "Are you done now?" Yoora just glared at him and said, "You know, if today wasn't such a special day, I'd kick you." Chanyeol gulped and said, "Love you, noona!" in a high falsetto. Yoora rolled her eyes, and then she noticed her mother gesture to her from the house, and grinning, Yoora turned back to Chanyeol and said with a beaming smile, "Okay, it's almost time. I'll tell everyone to get ready and to take their seats." Chanyeol nodded, his stomach instantly becoming a twist of nerves mixed with extreme anticipation. Chanyeol couldn't wait to hear other those two words being spoken from Baekhyun's lips.

Baekhyun's p.o.v.

Baekhyun was nervous and excited as Mr. Park lead him down the aisle. He tried not to hyperventilate as his eyes roamed over the rows and rows of occupied seats, consisting of Chanyeol's family, their friends, and some people from school they had graduated with. Baekhyun saw Jongdae, Jongin, Junmyeon among the many smiling faces. Jongdae gave Baekhyun a thumbs up from over Jongin's head, and Jongin looked momentarily annoyed before smiling at Baekhyun again. Baekhyun smiled back sheepishly.

Everything was so beautiful. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and softly fluttered down around them in swirls of pink. But nothing was as beautiful as seeing Chanyeol standing under the alter decorated with red and white roses. Chanyeol smiled at Baekhyun so brightly, never taking his eyes off him, and it sent tingling shivers down Baekhyun's spine.

Chanyeol's p.o.v.

Chanyeol was beyond happy as he watched Baekhyun walking down the aisle. He was so utterly perfect — not a hair out of place, and he smiled just as happily back at Chanyeol.

Chanyeol could hardly wait for Baekhyun to reach him — he felt so jittery — and once Baekhyun finally had, Chanyeol grabbed his hand and laced their fingers as he leaned in and kissed Baekhyun's cheek. It insisted a collective sigh from the wedding guests. Baekhyun smiled when Chanyeol leaned back and muttered for only Chanyeol's ears, "Someone's eager." Chanyeol grinned and muttered, "Of course. Today I get to call you mine forever." Baekhyun's heart warmed at Chanyeol's words, and his lips upturned even more as he murmured, "Good. Because I'm never going to let you go."

As the music came to a soft close, the minister started to speak, "Welcome, family and friends to the joining of Park Chanyeol and Byun Baekhyun. They have prepared their own vows, so Chanyeol...." The minister gestured to Chanyeol to begin, and he did.

Chanyeol hadn't taken his eyes off Baekhyun as the minister had spoken, and clearing his throat, drawing both Baekhyun's and the guest's attention, Chanyeol began to speak. "Byun Baekhyun. I met you a little over a year ago, and the story of our first meeting isn't want one would think of considering where we are now. When I first met you, you had bumped into me in the school hallway, and for some reason I decided to be a jerk to you." Chanyeol paused to smiled sheepishly before continuing. "But later that same day, you got me back. And thank God you did, because after I just couldn't get you out of my head. We've been through so much — more than an average person — but none of those things that happened was enough to push me away. Yes, sometimes we fought, but it never lasted because Baekhyun, I believe we were meant to find each other." Baekhyun resisted the urge to cry as Chanyeol finished by saying, "And after all of that, thank you, Byun Baekhyun, for staying with me. Forever." Chanyeol said the last word every softly, for only Baekhyun's ears.

Baekhyun's p.o.v.

Baekhyun fought the tears threatening to run down his cheeks and said, "Park Chanyeol. The first day we met, you were the worlds biggest pabo." Baekhyun smiled as he said that, as well as Chanyeol, as the guests softly laughed. "But aside from that, you saved me as well. You've always been someone I could go to, and you understand things about my life that no one ever has. You never force me into something I don't won't to do, and you help push me to believe that I can overcome my fears. And through everything, you never once believed that I could be anything but perfect in your eyes. So thank you, Park Chanyeol, for always believing in me and loving me no matter what." The last sentence Baekhyun spoke was soft, almost like a whisper.

3rd p.o.v.

The minister smiled at both of them, then gestured for Sehun and Luhan to give them the rings; they each took them with a smile. "And now, Park Chanyeol, do you take Byun Baekhyun to be your loftily wedded husband through sickness and health, until death do you part?" Chanyeol kept his eyes on Baekhyun's as he softly muttered, "I do," and slide the ring onto Baekhyun's finger. The minister nodded with a faint smile and turned to Baekhyun as he continued. "And Byun Baekhyun, do you as well take Park Chanyeol to be your loftily wedded husband through sickness and health, until death do you part?" Baekhyun tried to control his smiling face as he said, "I do," and took Chanyeol's hand, sliding on his ring as well. "Then through the power of the church and God, I pronounce you husband and husband. You may kiss the groom."

Baekhyun didn't have to be told twice as he instantly wrapped his arms around Chanyeol's neck and firmly locked their lips together. Chanyeol grinned beneath Baekhyun's mouth as he grabbed his waist and pulled him close, before wrapping his arms around to his back. The wedding goers cheered and clapped; and Jongdae seemed to be the loudest of them all.

Baekhyun's p.o.v.

The after party for their wedding was long and peaceful, and it was being held in the grand center room of the house — the room that was also occupied by the piano. Baekhyun had been waiting ever since they walked back to the house to play that piano for Chanyeol, and now seemed like the perfect moment. Chanyeol and Baekhyun were sitting at the head table with Chanyeol's parents and Yoora, with ten or so smaller circular tables spread out before them. Baekhyun glanced around at everyone, and they were either talking or eating, so bitting nervously on his bottom lip, Baekhyun turned to Chanyeol and said, "Stay here. I have a surprise for you." When Baekhyun said this, Yoora glanced up knowingly as Chanyeol just looked confused and asked, "Baekhyun. What could you possibly give me now? I already have all I want." Baekhyun tried covering his burning cheeks, as Chanyeol laughed at his silliness. Baekhyun playfully whacked Chanyeol's arm and leaned in close to murmur, "I have a few ideas." Now it was Chanyeol's turn to turn pink, as he gasped, "Baekhyun!" Baekhyun lightly laughed and lovingly brushed his thumb over Chanyeol's cheek as he murmured, "My giant, the surprise is obviously not that." Baekhyun paused for a moment, then muttered, "Yet," and with that, Baekhyun was standing up and walking towards the piano. People noticed, and stopped their conversations as they turned to Baekhyun. "Hello. I'm By— Park Baekhyun, and I'm going to play a song for my first love," Baekhyun said, his cheeks flushing a little when he referred to himself as a "Park". Baekhyun sat down and stretched out his hands and fingers before placing his hands against the smooth keys, as he closed his eyes and started to play and sing:

When the song came to an end, Baekhyun opened his eyes. The whole room was silent with awe, and nervously, Baekhyun fiddled with his fingers when from the corner of his eye he saw Chanyeol stand up and make his way towards Baekhyun. Baekhyun stayed quietly in his seat as Chanyeol finally reached him. Chanyeol leaned down and gently cupped Baekhyun's cheeks in his hands as he softly asked, "Why didn't you ever tell me you could play piano?" Baekhyun smiled sheepishly as he murmured, "Because I honestly forgot that I could." Chanyeol sighed and kissed Baekhyun's forehead as he murmured, "I love that you can still surprise me." Baekhyun smiled and muttered, "Yeah, it's becoming a lot hard." Baekhyun sighed, then murmured playfully, "Stop knowing me so well, Mr. Park." Chanyeol grinned and kissed Baekhyun's nose, then moved his lips to hover them above Baekhyun's as he murmured, "Never, Mr. Park," before delicately kissing him on the lips.

"Saranghae, Baekhyun," Chanyeol whispered.

"Saranghae, Chanyeol," Baekhyun softly whispered.

. . . .

No One's p.o.v.

It was approaching ten o'clock when people started to drift off, congratulating Chanyeol and Baekhyun once again on their new marriage before leaving for their homes. Chanyeol and Baekhyun themselves were ready to leave as well, and they were excited, because along with being newly married, they got to move into their new house together after finally finishing moving all their things yesterday, and decorating the rest of the house with the things they had gathered over the last four months.

Chanyeol and Baekhyun walked through the crowd of guests, thanking people for coming and graciously excepting their wishes as well. Then finally Chanyeol and Baekhyun found their friends, and beaming they all converged to make a gigantic group hug. When they pulled apart, they hug each other individually as they wished Chanyeol and Baekhyun their congratulations.

3rd p.o.v.

"So, when are we seeing you next?" Kyungsoo asked, and everyone nodded and mumbled in agreement. Baekhyun pursed his lips in thought and glanced up at Chanyeol, who shrugged and said, "I don't know. I have next week off before I have to return to the police station." Baekhyun nodded and said, "Yeah, and my college courses start in August. So I'm free until then, but Mr. Police-officer-in-training here, not so much." Baekhyun chuckled as he glanced up at Chanyeol with a grin. Chanyeol blushed sheepishly, since after all, if it wasn't for Baekhyun he never would have considered the job when Sehun's father asked him about it. Chanyeol just never wanted anyone to go through what Baekhyun had gone through, although logically he knew he couldn't save everyone, but he could start by saving a few.

Luhan sighed and mumbled, "Ugh, why do we have to grow up? And why did you guys have to start being so responsible!? Blah!" Baekhyun laughed and pulled out of Chanyeol's arm as he jumped at Luhan and pulled on one of his cheeks as he exclaimed, "Because we had to, Lulu. And so should you!" Luhan smacked Baekhyun away and scoffed as he cried, "No!" Then he turned to Sehun and yelled, "And don't you think about proposing anytime soon! Wait for another year or so." Sehun's jaw dropped and he stuttered, "Wha— I— Oh, forget about it." Sehun rolled his eyes. "Hey! Seok! What would you do if I asked you to marry me?" Jongdae asked suddenly. Minseok blinked in surprise, then frowned as he replied, "You're too much of a child, Dae!" Jongdae pouted, and when he turned away, Minseok mouthed, "OH MY GOD!!!" and silently jumped around with the biggest smile ever.

Chanyeol and Baekhyun talked their friends a moment longer before saying good bye, and leaving to find Chanyeol's parents, and now Baekhyun's parents-in-law and sister-in-law. He smiled happily at the thought, as he loved the idea of having a family who actually wanted him in return, and now a husband — both things Baekhyun never thought he'd have before.

Where Chanyeol found his parents and Yoora, Chanyeol said, "Since almost everyone's gone now, Baekhyun and I were going to go home. We're pretty tired." Mrs. Park smiled and touched her sons cheek lovingly as he said, "Of course, you two should go home and rest." Mrs. Park reached for Baekhyun's hand and gently squeezed it as she continued by saying, "Are we still on for breakfast tomorrow at your new house?" Baekhyun smiled and said, "Of course!" Mrs. Park smiled and hugged them both, kissing both of their cheeks before stepping back. Mr. Park stepped forward and took Chanyeol's hand, shaking it as he said, "Congratulations, son." Then he turned to Baekhyun and did the same things, minus the words, instead he said, "Welcome to the family, Baekhyun." Baekhyun smiled and said, "Thank you, sir." Chanyeol could see his sister bouncing from foot to foot in silent impatience, when her father finally stepped away, she leapt at Chanyeol and locked her arms around his waist as she gushed, "I'm so happy for you!" and kissed his cheek before engulfing Baekhyun in a huge as well. "Thank you for entering my namdongseang's life and making him so happy. I'm so proud to call you family," Yoora murmured into Baekhyun's shoulder. Baekhyun smiled and hugged Yoora back. "Thank you, Yoora, and I promise to always make him happy." Yoora smiled and whispered, "I know," before she pulled back and had to wipe away a tear. She smiled at them both.

Chanyeol turned to Baekhyun and grabbed his hand. "Are you ready to go home?" Baekhyun nodded and Chanyeol smiled. They told Chanyeol's parents and Yoora good bye, and just before they left, Chanyeol found his grandmother and hugged her, repeatedly thanking her for allowing them to have their wedding in her backyard. She smiled and kissed Chanyeol's cheek, telling him she was honored to get the chance. Baekhyun thanked her too, and after another moment, Chanyeol and Baekhyun were in there car and driving to their new home.
