Namjoon and Taehyung were with Yoongi while Seokjin and Jungkook were with Jimin. Yoongi and Jimin had decided to walk down the aisle together instead of one walking to the other.
They walked out and waited together for the signal to start walking. The other four took their seats and watched as they walked down the aisle, holding hands, and got onto the stage.
Looking at his best friend getting married, Namjoon couldn't hold in his tears.
He and his brother were holding hands while Seokjin sat on the other side of Namjoon and Jungkook sat on the other side of Taehyung. Taehyung squeezed his hand in a silent show of support.
As the vows began, they saw the raw happiness on Yoongi and Jimin's faces. They saw how happy and contended they were.
Namjoon recalled the conversation he had had with his brother the previous night.
"I know I always tell 'It's never too early', but this really is early, hyung! You should take some more time to properly decide if you want to take your relationship a step further" Taehyung had said when Namjoon had voiced his opinion about taking it a step further and proposing to Seokjin.
"I know, Tae. And I am sure of it. I really do want to spend the rest of my life with him. And if I learnt one thing from our lives, it's that we should never postpone anything, waiting for the right time. We don't know what's gonna happen the next second. If I were to die tomorrow night, I would at least die with the satisfaction of trying my best in my relationship" Namjoon said.
"Woah! Your way of thinking surely changed, hyung!" Taehyung voiced what he had been thinking for the past few days.
"Yeah, true. My way of approach towards a lot of things has changed recently. And I mean it, Tae. I want your approval too. Will you be okay if I marry him?" Namjoon asked.
"What kind of idiotic question is that? Obviously it's fine for me. It's you who has to think twice about it. And no matter what, you have to stick to whatever decision you take, hyung. Don't break his heart later" Taehyung said.
"I would never do that to him!! I love him!!" Namjoon exclaimed, shocked at what Taehyung said. "I know!! I am just saying!! Let's sleep, hyung.....wait a second!! Did you buy the ring already?" Taehyung suddenly asked.
"Yes" Namjoon said sheepishly. "Then why did you ask for my consent?" Taehyung asked. "I was going to return it if you said no. I swear!" Namjoon said.
"Do I look like Hitler to you?" Taehyung asked, feeling incredulous that his brother even thought that he might say no.
"Hehe, no. Sleep, Tae. Good night! I love you" he said, pecking his cheek. "I love you too. Good night" Taehyung pecked him back and spooned into his brother. "Ahh, it's been long since we slept together" Namjoon said. "I know, right?!" Taehyung sighed.
He really was ready to take this relationship a step further. He had planned it last night. He hadn't slept a wink. He kept thinking of different ways to impress him.
He didn't want to make a big show by proposing in front of everyone and pressure Seokjin into accepting him. He decided to do it after the reception. He wanted to do it alone.
He looked at Seokjin, who looked lost in thoughts.
Seokjin was also thinking of taking this relationship a step further. Even though he didn't actually bring a ring with him, he did have a conversation with Jungkook the previous night. He was still awed by Jungkook's thoughts.
"I am planning to propose to him" Jungkook said over dinner. "You what??" Seokjin spluttered.
"Propose. I want to live forever with him too. You remember what you said when we went to the park after buying gifts? That's exactly how I feel too. And I am ready for it" Jungkook said.
"Jungkook, I don't mean to be insensitive and I really do love Tae a lot, but have you thought about how hard it is going to be? It will be really very very hard for you, Kookie! Just think twice before you take this decision.
Because this not a normal relationship. There is a fifty percent chance that the surgery doesn't work. You will have to deal with it forever. Will you be able to do it? It is going to affect him too. You will have to support him mentally as well as physically. Have you thought about it? Are you ready for all of this, Kook?"Â Seokjin asked.
"Yes, hyung. I have thought thoroughly about it. So what if he can't see? If this surgery succeeds, well and good. But even if it doesn't, I have no problem. I know it is going to be a really big responsibility and that I have to bear all the mental stress and help him throughout our lives.
But at the end of the day, the love I get from him is worth all of it, hyung. I am willing to do everything for him if that makes him smile. I really did think about everything, hyung. And I am really ready for it.
I am ready to give him a life and ready for him to give me a life. We both are lost pieces. I am ready to find them together with him" Jungkook said.
Seokjin was in tears by the end of Jungkook's mini-speech. "You....I-I've got no words.....You have my support, Jungkookie. No matter what, I will support you. Forever. Do as you wish. I will help you" he said.
"Thank you, hyung. You know what? If there is something that I learned from my life, it is that I don't have all the time in the world with me. That is a very strong lesson for me. But I want this to be special for him too. So I will wait for the surgery.
I want him to see me kneeling in front of him. I want him to see the ring. I want him to look into my eyes and accept it. So I will wait for the surgery to finish" Jungkook said.
"Like I said, no matter what, you have my support"Â Seokjin said as he got up and patted Jungkook on his back before putting his plate in the sink.
Seokjin thought of how confident his cousin brother was of his future. He wanted to be as confident as him. He looked at the stage as the vows came to an end and everyone stoop up to cheer the newly-weds. He looked at Namjoon, who was busy wiping his tears.
Namjoon ran to the stage without caring about the crowd. He threw himself onto Yoongi, who started crying on Namjoon's shoulders. Jimin got teary as well, looking at his husband and his best friend.
"You made it" Namjoon cried. "Yes, I made it" Yoongi cried.
............................
"Jinnie! Let's go to the park!! I wanna have some alone time with you" Namjoon said after the reception. Taehyung squeezed his brother's hand and pulled him into a hug. "All the best" he whispered into his ears and let him go.
"You know what! I have been thinking about it. I love you, Jinnie. And I really want to spend the rest of my life with you. I am really not good with words, so don't kick me for not giving a beautiful speech.
There was a time when I used to get drunk almost thrice a week because of the overwhelming responsibilities. I swear, after I met you, I didn't get drunk even once. Because for some weird reason, it didn't feel so overwhelming anymore.
You changed my life.....you changed the way I think......the way I look at things.....I feel like I am the most luckiest person to have you with me and I really want to extend my luck further" he said, looking into Seokjin's eyes.
He kneeled in front of him and brought the ring out. "Will you marry me, Jinnie?" he asked.
Seokjin stared at him for almost two whole minutes. "What if I say no?" he asked. "I would say 'Wrong answer, try again' " Namjoon said, with a cheeky smile.
"No"
"Computer rejected your answer. Please try again" Namjoon said in a robotic voice.
"Hmmmm, lemme think" Seokjin said with a serious face and a finger on his chin. Namjoon could see how hard Seokjin was trying to keep his face straight.
"Yah, dirty goose! Are you really going to torture me like this? My knee hurts, oww. Accept fast, you idiot!" Namjoon exclaimed, wincing at the pain that shot up his knee.
"I love you, Namjoon. I would gladly become your husband" Seokjin said, rushing to pull him up. He chuckled before pulling his 'fiance' into a deep and passionate kiss.
