Part 2: Wedding Preparation

Baekhyun and Kyungsoo switched back to their original clients. Baekhyun was scheduled to meet Chanyeol and his fiancée to look for the venue for their reception, unfortunately, Iseul couldn't come with them since she's expecting a video conference with her boss from their head office, leaving her fiancé and their wedding coordinator together.

The two went to five different garden resorts for the banquets to see whether it will suit Iseul's taste, since according to the bride; 'I'm very picky'.

They were in their last stop when Chanyeol asked Baekhyun if they can visit Yakhyeon Catholic Church in Myeongdong. Although Baekhyun has visited the church many times, he was still amazed of its gothic style.

"They said if you visited a church for the very first time, you have to make a wish and it'll be granted." Chanyeol leans to Baekhyun to whisper, while they were both kneeling side by side on the pew kneeler.

"I knew that."

"Did you made any wish? Does your wish came true?"

"Yes I made a wish, and yes it did came true although it took time before He answered it."

"What did you wished for?"

For you to come back. Baekhyun thought. "That would be a secret."

"You're so unfair." Chanyeol said, nudging Baekhyun's side. "I'll tell you my wish then. I wished for you to finally have your greatest dream in life. What do you think?" The taller smile at his childhood best friend.

If I told you that you're my greatest dream, will you accept me?

"That's very thoughtful of you. Are you done? I think we need to go back to the office." Baekhyun stands up, not even taking a glimpse of the tall male.

"Okay. I really hope my wish for you will come true."

"How's your date with Chanyeol?" Kyungsoo asks.

"It's not a date, Soo." Baekhyun replied, lazily playing his dinner.

The two of them are both in their shared apartment eating dinner when Kyungsoo asks his best friend all of a sudden.

"Did you know that we visited Yakhyeon church today?"

"Your dream church if ever gay marriage ever happened in Korea."

Baekhyun nods slowly. "Wanna know what was his wish? He wished for me to have my greatest dream in life."

"He meant, himself? I'm guessing that he also likes you, Baek."

"Nah. His and your definition of like are way too different."

"But what if. What if he also feels the same way for you but he just can't show it to you because, maybe, he also thought that you're straight."

"So you mean he likes me, but then he's marrying a girl."

"Well, maybe he's in a complicated case? I don't know, but my gut says he also likes you." Kyungsoo shrugs.

"I don't trust your guts anymore, Soo. Thank you very much." Baekhyun shoots up and walk towards his room.

"You're not going to finish your dinner?"

"I don't have an appetite."

***

Most of the time, the two childhood friends spend time with each other, planning Chanyeol's and Iseul's wedding preparation. Iseul, however, missed their meetings since she's busy with meeting her deadlines to her work that she often texted Baekhyun and her fiancée that she's unable to meet them.

At least she managed to meet them once when Baekhyun told her that the designer needs her measurement. Only they have to wait for two hours before she finally arrived.

Once again, the two childhood best friends meet for the fitting and food tasting that will be served for the reception. Chanyeol decided to have the food tasting first before the fitting.

They were currently at the restaurant that Baekhyun recommended to Chanyeol. Their mouth waters with all the food that was served to them as well as slices of cakes that Chanyeol could choose from.

"Wow! If I only knew that your kind of work is this cool, I should've applied for this kind of job." Chanyeol beams.

"It's also not easy to be honest." Baekhyun said, putting some food on Chanyeol's plate. "It's more stressful and there's a lot of pressure than you think. You have to meet your clients expectations and do everything for them. You have to lessen your client's burden and smile at them all the time even if they could be demanding and bitchy at times - most especially the brides. You have to accomodate everything and be very attentive to all little details that they wanted for their wedding. Brides could be a handful some times. I can't blame though, I mean it's one of the biggest event in their lives."

"Yikes. I wonder if Iseul would turn into a bride-zilla if ever she's with us."

"She's still busy?"

"Always. I mean, after the designer got her measure she left me behind and went back to their office. She's always busy with work that she almost forgot that our wedding is in two months. I honestly feel neglected at times." Chanyeol sigh then thank the other male after serving him some food.

As much as Baekhyun wanted to react, he opted not to.  His opinion is unnecessary to Chanyeol's relationship with Iseul.

"How about you Baek? Do you have a dream wedding?"

Baekhyun was taken aback. "My d-dream wedding?"

"Eung."

"W-well... my dream wedding is just a small wedding. Nothing extravagant, really. I just wanted to celebrate our wedding in an old church or a small chapel, with few visitors composed of family and closest friends. Our reception will be held in an open garden. It would be romantic if the reception is at night, then the whole place would be lighted with fairy lights, there's also little jars, inside is our pictures together, that is hang around the biggest tree in the garden. It doesn't matter how many tier our wedding cake has, as long as everyone enjoys it." Baekhyun says with a fond smile.

Chanyeol is staring at him the entire time he share his dream wedding to the other male. "I think you stole my idea, Baek." The tall male said with a teasing smile.

"What? No! That was my idea the moment I fall in love wit--" Baekhyun almost slip.

"With who?" Chanyeol asks, his lips tugs upwards ashe watch a blushing Baekhyun. "Ah, that girl? What's her name? I didn't mean to pry but I'm really curious about this girl who managed to stole my best friend's heart." Chanyeol said with impish grin.

"Nah~ it's not important."

"But--" Chanyeol wasn't able to finish his words when Baekhyun shove some food in his mouth.

"Just eat. You still have some desserts to taste. Plus we're going for your fitting after this."

Baekhyun was filling Chanyeol's glass with water when the latter suddenly raised a spoon over the former's mouth.

"You have to eat too. I think you're getting thinner as days passes by."

"I--"

"Say aaah..."

Baekhyun looks at Chanyeol scrutinizingly. Leaving with no choice, he opens his mouth and let Chanyeol feed him.

"I think you're going to be a good husband to your future wife, Baek." The said male looks at Chanyeol incredulously.

"How can you say that?"

"Well... if you're not even aware of it, you just served me - just like what good housewives usually do for their husband."

Baekhyun looks everywhere but to Chanyeol. My God, Chanyeol! Please stop it! He thought.

After the food tasting and telling the restaurant's manager, as well as the chef, the food that Chanyeol liked to be serve at the reception, they proceed to the fitting of Chanyeol's tuxedo.

"What do you think about this?" Chanyeol asks once he's done putting his tux on, unconsiously holding the tie on his left hand.

"Umm... it would be better if only you wore your bow tie." Baekhyun knits his brows.

"About that, I don't know how to tie this so I just leave it." He said as he raise his hand to show a piece of cloth.

Baekhyun grabs the black silk cloth from Chanyeol then tips his toes to place the tie around the latter's collar. The wedding planner was concentrating, twisting and twirling the silk cloth to make it a bow, unaware how Chanyeol smile at him fondly, as he watch him doing his tie for him.

"There." Baekhyun gave a little tug on each ends of the bow before he flatten his sole back to the floor.

"I really think you'll be a good husband someday." Chanyeol said with a smile.

Baekhyun clears his throat, trying to shrug the fluttering feeling from Chanyeol's random sweetness. He doesn't want to get affected by it since he knew to himself that he'll end up wanting more when the tall male is set to marry someone. He just make Chanyeol turn around and push him towards the mirror behind them.

"What do you think about it now?" Baekhyun asks as he stands behid the groom, letting him see his own reflection.

"Pretty." Chanyeol said.

Baekhyun frowns. What does Chanyeol mean about that? His eyes went up and was surprise to see the latter's eyes on his reflection. They lock gazes for a while before the wedding planner decided to break their gaze.

"Sorry. That's kind of awkward though." Chanyeol started.

"N-no big deal."

***

Few days after they met, Baekhyun got pretty busy with contacting their different business partners and suppliers for his other clients that he felt exhausted by the end of the day, especially now that Kyungsoo was out of town for one of his client's beach wedding in Jeju. He misses his best friend's cooking, but he understand the demands of their work.

After locking his car, and a plastic bag on hand, Baekhyun drags himself towards the apartment building when someone blocks his way.

"Chanyeol? What are you doing here?"

"Is that how you treat your childhood best friend now?"

"No, I mean, how did you know where I live?" Baekhyun's brow quirks when the tall male in front of him gave him a sheepish smile. "Right... Kyungsoo gave you our address..."

"He didn't just gave me your address, he actually allowed me to sleepover since he's worried about you being alone in your apartment." Chanyeol then show his backpack to him.

Baekhyun fake a smile, planning how he will kill Kyungsoo once the dope came back from Jeju.

"What do you got there?" Chanyeol gestures for the plastic bag on his hand.

"Uhh... dinner?"

The tall male grabs the plastic and check his groceries.

"This is all you'll eat for dinner? Ramyun and soju?"

"I'm lazy to cook for dinner--"

"You should have buy some eggs, cheese and rice cakes for these. And just a bottle of soju? Man, you're doing it the wrong way!" Chanyeol then grabs Baekhyun's hand and drag him to the nearest grocery store that he passed by while walking to Baekhyun's apartment.

Once done buying the ingredients that Chanyeol wanted to add to their dinner, as well as another bottle of soju and few cans of beer, the two of them went back to Baekhyun's apartment complex to cook their dinner.

Chanyeol was amazed to see meongryeong, welcoming them with enthusiasm, as he runs back and forth and jumping on Baekhyun's legs, waiting for his owner to pet him.

Four packets of ramyun with kimchi, rice cakes, eggs and cheese, and two bottles of soju later, the two childhood best friends are now sitting side by side on the floor, with their back resting on the couch. Meongryeong is lying beside Chanyeol, with it's right leg on the latter's thigh.

"I think meongryeong likes you." Baekhyun slurred in his speech. "He usually barks, non-stop, to someone who he just met. He doesn't even want anyone sits beside me, except for Kyungsoo. But look at him, he even sleeps beside you."

"Maybe because he knows that I'm special to you."

Baekhyun could only scoff. How accurate. He thought before chugging down his second can of beer.

"By the way, I have to attend a pre-marital counselling tomorrow, can you come with me?" Baekhyun whips his head to his friend's. "Iseul can't come - again - and since we'll check for the Pastor's schedule tomorrow, I think we could save time if you come with me?"

"Umm... okay!"

"I think you're drunk already."

"I'm fine." Baekhyun waves his hands no.

"Sure?"

Baekhyun nods.

"How many kids you and Iseul going to have?" Baekhyun blurted suddenly.

"I don't know. I was hoping for two or three."

"You copy cat!" Points an accusing finger to Chanyeol.

"What?" The tall male chuckles. He can see that Baekhyun is almost wasted.

"I also wanted two or three kids of my own!"

"Then we'll have two or three kids then." There's a pregnant, a rather awkward pause between the two of them before Chanyeol clears his throat. "I-I mean we will both have two or three kids." The tall male clarifies.

Baekhyun stares at his friend for a while, watching him drinking his can of beer. Chanyeol's eyes are already droopy, making him chuckle though there's nothing funny about it.

"Yeol-ah~ Do you still remember when you accidentally stole my first kiss when we're younger?" Chanyeol stares back at him.

"Yeah, I can still remember that. Why?"

"You looked soooo stupid that time..." He chuckles once again.

"Really?"

"Eung! Especially when you told me that you'll introduce me to the most beautiful girl when we grow up."

"I said that?"

"Yuuuup!" Baekhyun chuckles.

There was an awkward silence after that. Even on his drunken state, Baekhyun wanted to choke himself for opening that topic to Chanyeol, now that he's going to marry. What was he even thinking? Blame it to the alcohol for making him so talkative. But he doubt that Chanyeol would remember this stupid conversation tomorrow. Right?

"Sorry if I stole your first kiss back then."

"It's fine. No big deal." Baekhyun smiles at his childhood best friend.

Baekhyun was about to drink his remaining beer when all of a sudden, Chanyeol grabs the back of his neck with his big hands before pressing their lips together.

It took few moments before Chanyeol pulls away, making Baekhyun got so confuse as to why Chanyeol kissed him.

OH MY GOD HE KISSED ME! CHANYEOL KISSED ME! Baekhyun internally scream.

"What... what was that for?" Baekhyun asks with his wide eyes.

"I was just returning you your first kiss."

Huh? What does he mean about that? Does it mean... Oh right! He's getting married now that why he's returning my first kiss. It doesn't mean anything to him anyway... Baekhyun thought, his mouth gaping.

"Let's call it a night. You still have counselling tomorrow." Baekhyun said as he stands up, trying to balance himself. "You can use my room to sleep in for tonight, I'll just use Kyungsoo's."

"Okay." The tall male curtly said, also standing.

"Good night, Yeol."

"Night, Baek."

The two of them both went to their room for the night, leaving meonryeong sleeping alone in the living room.
