"hyunjin! I can't believe I'm marrying minho today!" jisung smiles as hyunjin fixes jisung's tie.

"I believe it, he's all you talk about, blah blah minho this, minho that"

"do you... miss him?"

"jisung..."

"if you two stayed together you could be here too! I don't understand why you broke up with him you two were more in love than me and minho"

"I don't want to talk about it... it was 2 years ago"

"fine" jisung pouts and crosses his arms, but then he smiles again. "I can't stop smiling!"

"you haven't stopped smiling since you two became a couple"

"shut up!" jisung pouts again but goes back to smiling again before yeji comes in.

"you ready?" yeji walks over to them.

"he's been ready since minho first proposed"

"hyunjin don't expose me!" jisung hits his arm and him and yeji laugh.

"okay come on, minho's ready"

"yeji?"

"yeah?"

"well um... do you have any advice? I don't want this to go wrong and you've been through this already with lia"

"it won't go wrong, you two love each other and as long as you two love each other than you shouldn't worry"

"okay..."

"now come on" yeji leaves as the two follow her out.

yeji and jisung walk down first with linked arms, then hyunjin and minho afterwards.

yeji and lia were sitting down in the front row, whispering to each other.

"I really thought he would show up" lia whispers.

"me too, I mean you said he was going to"

"yeah but I only said if he wants to, I mean... hyunjin's here too and he knows that so that's probably why he's not here"

as soon as the wedding started, the doors open and changbin walks in quietly to not interrupt the wedding.

"binnie!" lia whispers and hugs him. "I knew you'd come"

"of course, I would've been here earlier but I was stuck at work, they didn't want to give me the weekend off for the wedding"

when changbin looked up front, he saw hyunjin who was looking at him, he seemed to be in shock.

he looks away and pays attention to minho and jisung.

"we are gathered here today to bring lee minho and han jisung in holy matrimony, we'll first start with the vows, jisung you can go first"

"for months I've had to do so many things alone... I tired myself out left and right so I could have somewhere to live and keep my parents' house... but when you came into my life you were there and every time I thought of you I felt like I could do anything... I felt like I wasn't alone... and I know now that with you by my side I feel so happy! you brought me out of my overwhelming and stressed state! I loved you ever since I met you and I'll always love you!"

"after my parents left... I never felt true happiness again... I was cold hearted, I was rude, I was a bad influence, but when you were there for me I felt something that was more than happiness, it was the best feeling in the world... you're the most important person in my life because you got me to smile again and just be happy... you're so special and fun... you're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I can't wait to keep loving you and be happy with you by my side" they both were crying as they expressed their love for each other.

"the rings please" hyunjin gives the rings to them and the priest goes on.

"do you minho, take jisung to be your husband?"

"I do" minho puts the ring on jisung's finger.

"and do you jisung, take minho to be your husband?"

"I do!" jisung puts the ring on minho's finger.

"I now pronounce you husband and husband, you may kiss the groom" everyone cheers as minho and jisung kiss to confirm their marriage.

when they pull away they exchange smiles and hug each other in happiness that they're now married.

they turn around to walk the aisle, jisung sees changbin and waves to him, changbin waves back.

"I knew he'd come!" jisung says as he links onto minho's arm for them to leave the chapel.

about an hour later, everyone gathered to the reception hall.

"changbin!" jisung calls out his name.

"hey!" changbin hugs jisung. "congratulations, I knew you'd get married someday"

"thank you! oh I'm so happy today!"

"that's good"

"how about you? I saw your reaction when you saw him"

"I'm okay... I was shocked to see him that's all"

"but I mean you knew he'd be here right?"

"yeah well... he was the one who broke up with me and never talked to me again since then"

"you should talk to him though"

"he broke my heart jisung!" all eyes were on him. "I loved him and cared for him, I was there for him through everything he had gone through and he was the one who left me, he's the one who's at fault here"

when he realizes how loud he was, he looks around and then looks down.

"sorry everyone" changbin says while looking down and jisung hugs him.

"it's okay, we don't have to talk about it anymore"

"but you never bothered to say anything to me either" the sound of hyunjin's voice made him turn around.

"because you ignored me!"

"I was scared! we were so young back then... we were 17... still in high school... I didn't want to hurt you with the way I was and—"

"have you ever thought about how I felt!?"

"I guess not..."

"you became the most important person to me... I wanted to always be there for you... to see your beautiful smile and your excitement every time we did something together... you didn't have to love me back right away, I just wanted you to be in my life" hyunjin looks down with tears in his eyes after hearing changbin's words.

"but I loved you so much, of course I wanted to love you back but I was scared with my parents and... I thought that everything would've been better if we didn't see each other anymore... besides everyone treated you like shit when they found out about us too, I hated seeing you upset like that"

"fuck you hyunjin, fuck you—" hyunjin wraps his arms around changbin which caught him off guard.

"I still love you" hyunjin says softly. "I'm so sorry changbin..."

"sorry won't fix this, you broke my heart!" changbin pushes him away.

"changbin..."

"I'm sorry jisung for ruining your reception" changbin hugs him. "thanks for inviting me... I'll keep in touch with you I promise"

"you're leaving already?"

"I thought I could do it... but I can't... I'm going back to america"

"I'll walk you out" lia says and changbin nods as the two of them walk out.

"what is wrong with you!?" yeji hits her brother. "you broke up with him because of that!? you're so fucking selfish! someone finally loved you and you let him go!"

"it was 2 years ago"

"I fucking know it was!" she hits him again. "but you were so upset after everything that happened with you... and after you two broke up you missed him like crazy! you're so stupid"

"hyunjin, you need to go after him" minho comes up to him. "let him know how much you mean to him, it'll take a while for him to love you again but he needs to know you won't give up"

"I never gave up on him"

"you should tell him that" yeji says.

but sadly, he wasn't able to, he tried to catch him at the airport but he missed him.

he became heartbroken once again that he let the only one he ever loved go.

but this time he wasn't going to give up.

when changbin retuned back to america he plopped right on his bed in his house and felt himself about to cry after what happened at the wedding.

"I shouldn't have gone there!" he sighs and covers his face with his hands.

there's a knock at the door and he sighs to get up and answer it.

when he does, he looks down to see hyunjin who was down on one knee.

"I'm so sorry for everything changbin, I still love you... there's never a time where I don't think about you... where I don't think about how much fun we've had and all of the smiles we shared you're the best thing that's ever happened to me! I'm not letting you go again, I love you changbin... I love you... I'm so sorry... I know you won't forgive me but... I hope you do eventually because I want to marry you" he shows him a small black box and he opens it to reveal a ring.

"oh my god..." changbin lets out.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

"you came all the way here?" hyunjin nods.

"I'm not letting you go again changbin"

"if you do, I'll never ever forgive you" hyunjin looks at him. "you're so dramatic, yes, I'll marry you"

"really!?" changbin nods.

hyunjin smiles and stands up to put the ring on his finger before the two hug as they both cry.

"I'll never hurt you again" hyunjin says.

"you better mean it"

"I do!"

hyunjin kept his word, he never hurt him again, he was forever grateful for changbin for coming into his life.

and as for changbin, well he was glad he was able to see what truly lies within hyunjin.

what lies within.
