A/N

I am once again, asking for your emotional support and forgiveness because here is yet, another chapter, that I've had to split because I don't know how to end a story in a timely manner.

This was supposed to be a double and I ended up with yet another extra long chapter and a draft for the next one that I'm editing as you read this.

I am incapable of not giving the play by play of every single detail for every single character in my stories apparently lmao, especially ot4.

Chaesoo shippers I hope you love me for this. Jenlisa shippers, I promise you get your fluff when I post the next one! Those that ship both, this might be your lucky day if I get the other one out on time.

Ot4evaaa. Carryyyyy on.

"Chipmunk." Jisoo said tentatively as she approached her.

Chaeyoung smiled after hearing her voice and turned around. She'd been standing at the edge behind the barrier, taking in the scenery. The mountains in Thailand were beautiful and the view was even better from the very top.

She was already ready and the wedding wouldn't be for several more hours because they were waiting on Mikyung to get there anyway and Jennie and Lisa wanted to marry each other while the sun was setting.

"Yes baby?"

"I had a bit of an idea." Jisoo said nervously.

"What's that?" Chaeyoung asked, unable to keep the smile from her face because nervous Jisoo was always a rare sight to see and it was a little bit adorable.

"What if we had two weddings? Me and you?"

Chaeyoung smirked. She knew as soon as Jennie had declared she needed to get married today that Jisoo would do this. She had a feeling she would ask, which is why she wasn't with her best friend right now trying to calm her nerves. She stepped out for a bit to look at the scenery and wait for Jisoo to come find her, like she knew she would. She knew Jisoo wouldn't ask if she wasn't alone.

"You want to get married today too? Are you that impatient Kim Jisoo?" Chaeyoung said a little teasingly.

"Of course I am! We were supposed to get married around this time anyway. We only postponed it for Limario's stupid proposal trip that she literally didn't even follow through with because she got impatient too.

Jennie's even more impatient because a day chipmunk?! Seriously! A day after Lisa proposes they're getting married! We've been with each other for years. We should already be married! Limario can't beat me!" Jisoo blurted out the last part on accident.

Chaeyoung smirked.

"Oh, I see, so this is just so Lisa doesn't get married before you then?" Chaeyoung pretended to pout.

"No! No no no that's not what I meant. Well, a tiny bit because it's so not cool that she'd get to marry the love of her life before I get to considering we've been with each other for like ever but it's mostly because I want to.

Your family will be here, so is my mom and Jennie and Lisa so why can't we just go ahead and do it now and then do the tasteful wedding we were planning with all our other friends and stuff later too? It's like getting to marry you twice. I like that idea. I love that idea actually."

"You're really going to break your dad's heart and not let him watch you get married? He would literally cry Jisoo. He would be incredibly upset he was the only one that didn't get to watch his little girl get married."

Jisoo scowled and deflated, "Damn it. But I really wanna marry you noooow. This sucks."

Chaeyoung couldn't help but giggle at Jisoo's whining. She always only reserved the uncharacteristic pouts, the whines, and the nervousness just for her and it made her heart melt.

"Come here." Chaeyoung held her hand out for Jisoo to take and took her into one of the temples.

Chaeyoung found the monk she had been speaking with earlier, she had been surprised that not all monks took complete vows of silence.

She had wanted to know more about Lisa's beliefs, they had always talked about them of course and it had always been interesting to Chaeyoung how their individual beliefs didn't clash despite herself being more on the religious rather than spiritual side like Lisa was.

They believed in practically the same things, they just practiced them differently. Chaeyoung went to church when she could and prayed a lot, Lisa meditated and prayed and did things in nature to stay connected.

"This is her." Chaeyoung said to the monk.

He smiled warmly at Jisoo in greeting. He spoke of course, but he was a man of few words. He didn't take a vow of silence but Chaeyoung had learned that the way he practiced his beliefs was by speaking only when he needed to. When the words were important enough to say out loud so that they carried more weight.

"Is it possible you could do a private ceremony and marry us? It will just be the two of us."

Jisoo almost snapped her neck when she heard that, looking at her fiancée. She noticed the soft smile Chaeyoung had, who didn't turn to look at her but Jisoo knew she could feel her gaze because she only smiled wider and Jisoo understood.

Chaeyoung had only protested about her father not getting to witness it if everyone else did so they were going to get married without anyone else present so he didn't feel left out. Jisoo squeezed her hand once and she felt a reassuring squeeze back.

The monk led them to the edge of the mountain, where the scenery was ethereal, to the same spot Jennie and Lisa would get married at too.

Chaeyoung and Jisoo faced each other. Chaeyoung couldn't help the giggles that escaped her, feeling giddy that they were finally, finally doing this.

Something about being the only witnesses too made it more special to Chaeyoung. Normally she was very extroverted and of course she wanted to shout to everyone she knew how in love she was with Jisoo but this felt more meaningful because it was like only Jisoo would get to hear these specific ones, these specific words because they were only meant for her and no one else.

She can shout from the rooftops later because right now, this was just for them.

Chaeyoung pulled out a red thread and tied it to her pinky. Jisoo grinned hard at what that red thread meant.

Chaeyoung was a hopeless romantic and there was a story she loved about a red thread tying soulmates together forever ever since they were born.

There were many versions of the story based on the culture you grew up in and Chaeyoung knew every single one and told Jisoo about the different variations of it. Jisoo had only heard the Korean version up until that day. No matter the story though, they all said the same thing. At the end of the red thread is the one destined just for you.

They spent the first time Chaeyoung ever spent the night with her after being intimate for the first time giggling the night away as Chaeyoung told Jisoo all the stories of the red thread.

It had been bliss and even at the time Jisoo felt like Chaeyoung was trying to tell her something, Jisoo tried telling her the same thing without words, that the story was about them.

"You've had this?" Jisoo asked in surprise, considering they weren't supposed to get married until a week after the trip was over.

"I've kept it with me every day since you proposed. Just in case." Chaeyoung admitted a little shyly as she handed the other end of the red thread over, a sign that they were forever bound together, that they were soulmates.

Jisoo shakily tied the other end to her pinky too.

It was a simple but very beautiful and symbolic ceremony and Jisoo made her cry with her vows. They were perfect, just like Chaeyoung expected them to be but what moved her the most was that Jisoo cried with her as she gave them.

Jisoo paused for a second because at this rate she would never finish getting through them and the only time she let go of Chaeyoung's hands was in that moment, so she could wipe her own tears away but Chaeyoung beat her to it.

Jisoo cried a little harder at the gesture because she knew the meaning behind that soft look Chaeyoung was giving her as she carefully did it.

Once, when they had first started dating Chaeyoung asked her why she refused to ever cry. Chaeyoung had picked on that immediately and was genuinely curious.

Jisoo shrugged and said "if I cry, who will wipe your tears, or Jendeukie's, or Limario's if I'm too busy with my own."

"You won't be too busy with your own, because once you're done being strong for everyone else, you'll come to me in private and break down while I hold you, and in that moment I'll be the strong one for you and wipe yours away for you just like you always do for us."

Jisoo cried for the first time ever in front of someone that wasn't her mother or her father that day, feeling a little too moved.

She was getting that same look from Chaeyoung right now and Jisoo knew she was thinking of that day too.

Jisoo finally cleared her throat and continued. It was crazy how in sync they were. Especially after that little exchange because of the next words she had already planned to say. It was like fate.

"...and you make me feel so unconditionally loved. So much so that I can even cry shamelessly in front of you. I can show you the side I've always thought was weak but somehow with you it makes me feel strong.

I can show you my vulnerabilities because you always manage to make me realize that they're not weaknesses but strengths.

You make me realize that the biggest strength is being vulnerable but I only do it with you because only you deserve seeing that side of me because you've always been so gentle and perfect and because of that I feel like only you should get the right to see all of me.

Before, when I hid that part of myself, it used to just be because I thought it was weak to break in front of anyone so that's why I didn't cry or show any emotion that made me seem like a flawed human to anyone else out of pride.

Now though, now I only hide my feelings from everyone else because you're the one I get to go to when I need emotional healing and you're the one that deserves seeing me in my most vulnerable state because you've more than earned that right above anyone else.

You've earned the right to see all of my flaws and see me bare and true because you've never failed me and I know you never will.

I can open up and tell you when I'm upset about something and it should be baffling that none of that has ever been directed at you but it's not to me because you've always been perfect.

I can show my feelings around you, even the negative ones and you still manage to make me feel like I'm perfect even when I'm angry or hurt or upset about something petty or small or something big and scary.

I can show you when I'm afraid. I can cry and show you that I'm not as strong as I act like I am to everyone else without ever feeling judged and I don't even think twice about my pride in those moments, I don't even want to pretend that I'm fearless and strong because you're just that comforting to me.

I can be my truest self around you and you bring the best out of me and you tame the worst of my qualities by just being you. All of me has been influenced by you ever since I first met you and it's always been in the best way because you make me better.

You heal me, you love me and that fact alone fixes all of my problems. Your mere presence alone puts my soul at ease and it makes me wonder how I was ever calm before meeting you. How I ever managed to laugh because I'd never known true joy until I first set my eyes on you.

I'm baffled that out all of the billions of people in this world that would have absolutely fallen in love with you too as irrevocably as I am with you because how could they not, out of all of those people that you could have chosen to love, you chose me. That chipmunk, that fact alone has been the greatest pride of my life.

My proudest moment was when you said yes to a date with me. Then it was when you allowed me the honor of being your girlfriend and now, my proudest moment is having you be my wife.

I'm marrying a literal angel today and I honestly would give all of my money away in a heartbeat for you if I had to. The things I would trade just to have you stand here in front of me about to say I do are immeasurable. None of the things I've managed to accomplish even come close to having you. I'd go broke for you chipmunk.

I'd wage wars for you and I know you don't like that because you're the most nonviolent person ever but I would because you're the most precious thing in the world to me and babe, we both know I'd do anything for you.

I'm so goddamn whipped for you so I don't think I even have to promise in my vows that I'll go to the ends of the earth for you because you already know that I would so I just really wanted to talk about how beautiful I think you are and I'm not just talking about how gorgeous you obviously are. I'm talking about your very essence.

It's impossible that a purer soul would exist over you. I can't believe you're real and I can't believe my luck at the fact I almost failed a stupid class for sleeping too much in it and my bad habits and my flaws ended up giving me the greatest gift.

It was my biggest best 'mistake' of my life to have fucked up and slept in that class so much because I got put in a tent with the most beautiful person to ever exist on a trip I had dreaded going to and almost skipped.

I love that I love sleep even when it gets me in trouble because of you Park Chaeyoung, because if I hadn't been such a slacker and if sleeping wasn't one of my favorite hobbies I would have missed out on a chance to be with the most exquisite woman anyone in this world has ever had the privilege to lay their eyes on."

Chaeyoung could barely speak she was crying so hard. Jisoo embraced her immediately and it just made Chaeyoung cry harder because she just felt so loved. It took her several minutes before she could calm down enough to talk and say her own vows.

"I've always been a hopeless romantic." Chaeyoung whispered into Jisoo's neck. She should have known she'd end up making her vows this way, with her arms around Jisoo's neck and Jisoo rubbing her back soothingly and holding her close. They didn't separate the entire time Chaeyoung spoke.

"I've always been in love with love and saw the world through rose colored glasses. Most people would call me naive for always believing there was someone out there in the world destined just for me.

Most people tried to tell me that love at first sight wasn't real but those people are going to eat their hearts out now because they were wrong and I was right because you're literally right here, holding me my love.

I truly fell for you from the first moment that I saw you and that love has only gotten bigger with time. It's always so funny to me that you call me an angel because this whole time I've always thought you were a literal goddess.

Maybe you were right, maybe I am an angel. I'm that goddess' faithful angel that worships the ground she walks on and would do absolutely anything to serve her and love her without needing anything in return but her presence. Kim Jisoo, I truly think you've been my new religion ever since that first moment with you.

I love every single part of you. I love your confidence, especially because it means you're so secure in yourself that you don't care what others think and that's so attractive to me. I love that you can literally make even the crankiest, grumpiest person on earth laugh.

It's been proven. I remember that one year we both did Christmas at Jennie's house with her parents so she wouldn't be so upset that year. The year Lisa actually decided to go visit Suzy for Christmas but she ended up coming early anyway because she felt bad not spending it with me.

Your uncle was walking around haughtily as usual but you could tell he was five seconds away from exploding in anger because his invitation to some luminary charity person was rejected and they didn't show up to his Christmas party and when your uncle got angry it usually got directed towards Jennie.

One of your uncle's creepy old work guys kept trying to talk to you all night and I remember you were over trying to have to avoid him on his third try and you deadpanned a whole rant so nonchalantly.

Do you remember what you said, because I do. Verbatim and I really should feel bad for him but you've always brought out my deviant side too and I couldn't be more proud of you for destroying him with your words.

I'll never forget it, he was talking to your Uncle and we were walking by to get to Jennie again after getting a champagne refill and he immediately perked up and you cut him off, putting your hand up to shut him up and went off on him in the bluntest, calmest way possible.

'Now that I'm in my twenties and your second wife just turned thirty suddenly I exist and you remember my name? A few years ago you pretended like I was the server even though you knew I was his niece but at least you draw the line at minors and you waited this long to hit on me. You've set the bar so high.

No thank you DiCaprio. I'm willing to bet my future inheritance on the fact your birthday present to your second wife were divorce papers. I'm sure she's halfway to Bali right now. Honestly, good for her, I'm sure it's been her favorite birthday present in her entire life.

Wait, I'm giving you too much credit comparing you to Leo, at least Leo is attractive and seems like he at least has a personality. What do you have to offer other than leathery skin and arthritis?

Did she have to change your diapers at night? You can't even say what you have to offer is your money either, she probably regretted you trapping her because you've borrowed so much money from Uncle Kim here that even he's going to go bankrupt too at this rate.

I think instead of trying to pick up twenty year olds you should change your hunting grounds, a nursing home perhaps?

Better yet, a hospice with coma patients because I think they'd be the only ones that could bear to be in your presence since they're not awake and you can talk to them about how miserable you are and not take away from their quality of life since they can't hear you.'

Your uncle has never once lost his composure because he was always so uptight and cared about his career too much but I remember he literally accidentally spit out his champagne in that man's face after he snorted, unable to rein in the laughter and at the fact you said it so nonchalantly and walked away without remorse and he wasn't the only one.

Everyone within ear shot had either giggled or laughed out loud. You made one of the servers drop their tray because he had overheard it too and it was funny to me that one of the grumpy old men in that room actually tapped him on the back and told him it was okay he got champagne in his two thousand dollar suit because he was laughing so hard he forgot to be entitled and rude to the workers like he had been all night.

You made your crappy uncle lose his professionalism and cost him that relationship yet even as anal as he's always been he was practically skipping the entire night despite being embarrassed at what he did.

It's one of my favorite memories of you for several reasons. Because I realized I'd never have a dull moment with you, because the fact you could even make him laugh I know I'd never stop laughing around you, and neither will everyone else. Because even the rude man stopped being rude to 'the help.'

Your mere personality spreads joy.

It's still one of my favorites because you gave everyone in the room a gift that night. All of the uptight people weren't as uptight anymore. The servers stopped feeling like they were walking on egg shells around the rich elite.

You gave that man a reality check and humbled him because he acted like no one saw exactly what he was doing and he stopped being so aggressive after that.

Who knows how many girls in their twenties you saved from that moment on from his aggressive and cringe behavior. Even past that night you saved so many girls from his I won't take no for an answer unwanted advances because he was so embarrassed he was quiet the rest of the night and finally kept respectable distances from all of the women.

Jennie was happy on a holiday for once because you gave her the gift of being able to escape her overbearing father and when we told her what happened because she missed it we spent the entire night laughing and giggling over it as we told her over and over and described everyone's shocking reactions.

It's one of my favorites because I realized even more that day something I love so much about you. I love that you literally don't care what people think and you'll always be honest and the fact you could bravely and unapologetically call him out like that makes me so damn proud of you because you've always been that way.

You defend yourself and you defend others with no remorse if the situation calls for it and you call them out on their bullshit and somehow when you do it you always manage to make it entertaining.

I seriously think you could be the one to bring world peace Jisoo.

I truly think we could put you in a room with all the country's leaders that are currently waging wars against each other right now and you'd charm them within seconds and make them laugh or roast them and they'd thank you for it because you'd be right.

I could imagine that by the end of it they'd probably all be best friends and pass out drunk cuddling each other and I could just imagine you walking out of that room with that sexy devious confident smirk that makes me melt, feeling self satisfied because it was clearly just so easy for you to work them over like that.

Because that's just who you are. There's not a person in this world that can hate you and honestly, there's not a person in this world that wouldn't be honored to be teased by you because you're just so effortlessly hilarious in the best way and I can't imagine anyone that wouldn't want to sit there and be roasted by you because you're so clever and despite your devious nature you're never truly mean unless someone deserves it.

I love that despite you not taking anything seriously, you're somehow still the most serious person ever because you're so protective.

Despite the fact that I sometimes scold you for your teasing ways when things get out of hand or I take your bat away, I admire you so much for that because you always stand up for the people you love and the only reason I scold you is because I'm selfish and want to keep you forever so I don't want anything happening to you if you go too far with the words or the bat.

I love that the goddess above literally went a lot too hard when she made you. She took a little too long creating you and making you a lot too powerful and perfect because you're seriously so beautiful and most of the time when you wake up in the mornings next to me I feel like time stops when I look at you because your beauty is so powerful that I feel like the world literally stops spinning for a bit.

Time literally stops for you, bows down for you, because it should.

But what I love the most is that you're always utterly yourself with everyone, but especially with me. I love that I get to get the privilege to see the side no one else gets to see. The soft side.

The vulnerable side and I don't think you understand how beautiful it makes me feel that I alone, out of a billion people, gets the right to say I know the real, raw, you. No masks, no barriers, just simply beautiful you.

I'd do anything for you baby. Honestly. Like you said, I hate violence but I know I'd even go so far as to murder someone for you and you know I can't even kill a spider let alone a person but it's true. You're everything to me and I feel like I learned to fly ever since I met you, I'm in the sky floating right above heaven and I don't think I'm ever coming down."

Jisoo was probably crying harder than Chaeyoung was at that point.

The monk had them say 'I do' and Chaeyoung couldn't tell you how she managed to breathe after kissing Jisoo as her wife for the first time.

Chaeyoung thanked the monk once she finally came up for air and apologized a bit for their vows considering how much cursing they did in them and the recalling of Jisoo's speech all those years ago and the fact Chaeyoung literally promised she would murder someone if need be just for her.

But he just smiled at her peacefully and tapped her on the shoulder, then Jisoo, knowing they were just trying to express their love in the best way they could. He spoke only once more, blessing them and their spiritual marriage and left them after that so that he could give them some privacy.

"We're married baby." Chaeyoung said, launching herself into Jisoo's arms again and giggling.

"I can't believe we just did that." Jisoo said incredulously as Chaeyoung reached up again with her left hand to gently wipe the tears from her face.

"We can tell everyone during the toasts at our next 'wedding' that we've actually already been married for six months and you can tease Lisa during our reception about beating her to it like I know you want to." Chaeyoung giggled. "God I love you so much. I'm so insanely happy right now. I don't understand how you keep managing to make me happier with every passing day."

"Limario is probably going to say she's the happiest girl in the world after Jendeukie says I do to her later this evening but she'll be lying chipmunk because that's literally me right now and it will be me until the day I die and long after thanks to you."

Chaeyoung pressed herself closer to Jisoo and laid a delicate hand on Jisoo's cheek, smiling, the happy tears still falling.

"You're lying right now Kim Jisoo."

"I'm serious chipmunk. I just married my soulmate, I've never felt this happy in my life. Lisa was right for once, about that stuff, in this life and the next. I actually prayed in one of the temples today, praying to her Buddha and my own deity that the Buddhists might be right about reincarnation and hoping it was real after all because one lifetime with you couldn't possibly be enough."

"You are lying Jisoo, because that title belongs to me. It was literally love at first sight for me and now I'm literally married to you? Finally. It feels like I can truly breathe now. It feels like I've never taken a true breath my entire life until now so there's no possible way you could be happier than me right now, because there's no bigger thing than infinity and right now my happiness is infinite."

"Double infinity. Infinity squared!" Jisoo said immediately. "I'm infinity squared happy! No wait, I'm infinity to the power of infinity happy! Ha. Can't beat that chipmunk."

Chaeyoung giggled again.

"Damn it I really have to stop hanging out with Limario, she's turning me into a cheeseball too." Jisoo said, realizing how dorky she had just been but she didn't regret it because her wife was giggling all adorable.

"I kind of really really like it." Chaeyoung said. "Love it actually."

"Damn it. Now I have to thank Limario for turning me into a cheeseball." Jisoo said seriously because Chaeyoung looked radiant and happy and if she had to be cheesy to incite that gorgeous smile and those heart melting giggles then she would take one for her pride and do it.

__________________

Chaeyoung couldn't keep the fact that Jisoo was her wife a complete secret. She was too giddy over it. She had to tell someone right now before she exploded so she went straight to Jennie. She would have gone straight to Lisa and then Jennie but Lisa couldn't keep a big secret to save her life so she was going to have to find out with the rest of them during their official wedding.

She'd tell Alice when she landed but she was going to surprise her parents at their second wedding that was technically just going to be a vow renewal now.

They were like Jisoo, a little deviant in nature, they loved to tease her and would probably find it hilarious she didn't invite them to her first wedding and tease her about it relentlessly and pretend to be offended.

She could already hear their back and forth banter as they accused her of being petty for not inviting them to the wedding, claiming she was mad for 'abandoning' her and Alice in Korea once Chaeyoung was also out of the house to move back to Australia and call her dramatic and then laugh once they were done with their bit like the adorable children her parents were.

"Wow wifey, you look beautiful. That dress on you is divine." Chaeyoung said breathlessly as she walked into the room and saw Jennie in the dress Jennie picked out of the three options they brought for her.

She hadn't seen it on her yet because Taehyung had been in here making slight adjustments to it once he fitted her and Chaeyoung was busy with Irene and Jimin with Lisa's own suit. They only trusted Taehyung to do the wedding dress but the other three could hold their own on Lisa's suit.

It had been a busy morning.

"You think Lisa will like me in it?" Jennie asked apprehensively despite feeling like there wasn't much more she could improve on herself.

She really did feel beautiful. She'd never felt more beautiful in her life. She felt like everything was perfect but she needed it to be perfect for Lisa, not for herself. Somi had been excellent and did her make up and hair immaculately. Jennie was surprised she didn't have a single critique considering this was going to be the biggest day of her life yet.

Especially because Somi was so bubbly and kept making her giggle so she thought she'd mess up but her hands were steady and there was not a single hair out of place and her make up was still flawless despite the fact she had done all that and still finished lightning quick. It was impressive. Jennie was impressed.

Taehyung knew her taste so well that she wasn't even surprised he had brought the perfect dresses to choose from.

Jennie had almost melted into a lovesick for Lisa puddle after Taehyung told her it had been insanely hard to keep it a secret that Lisa had approached him literally the day after Jisoo had proposed to Chaeyoung to show him her choice for the engagement ring she had found that morning and was planning to buy for Jennie as soon as she could afford it.

She wanted him to see it before he asked him the favor to start looking for options for wedding dresses for her because she knew Jennie was particular about the way she dressed down to the very last detail and she wanted everything to be to Jennie's taste in case she said yes.

Jennie didn't realize Lisa really had been thinking about marriage for that long and the fact she went out of her way to do that, even going so far as to offer to pay Taehyung for his services to help find the perfect dress even before she had even asked made Jennie feel like the luckiest person alive.

"I think everyone will love it and Lisa's going to cry, possibly faint, and will definitely end up punching Bambam at some point during the reception tonight because I know he's gonna tease her and say he's going to try to steal you away from her because you look that beautiful that he's going to willingly risk his life just to say that to you so you understand how gorgeous you look.

And Kai's going to accidentally blurt out something silly like you're going to turn him completely straight after all when he congratulates you and do it in front of Lisa without thinking and he's going to have to promise to let her shoot him again after she punches him too."

Jennie giggled, she wouldn't put it past Lisa to do any of those things.

Jennie realized later that night that Lisa was right after all about Chaeyoung probably really having a direct connection to the universe because both of those things did, in fact, end up happening.

Bambam and Kai both had to end up nursing their jaws for about an hour with ice while Jisoo cackled at them and borrowed Gong Yoo's camera to take pictures of them sitting next to each other pouting just a bit.

Not because of the pain but because Lisa had managed to knock them both to the ground in front of everyone and they were slightly embarrassed that despite knowing it was coming they still couldn't hold their bodies up when a hundred pound girl less than half their size almost knocked them out with how hard she punched.

"I'll make sure we have plenty of ice at the ready just in case you're right." Jennie answered, blushing a bit at the compliment and at the fact that in a few hours she was going to be married to Lisa and worried about her punching people to defend her wife if they complimented her too much.

"So I know Buddhist weddings aren't all the same, and you wanted to do a Buddhist ceremony just for Lisa so the ceremony is going to be a mix of traditional and nontraditional themes the way she likes it. But I thought I'd get you this so you could do it at the ceremony and honor your side too."

Chaeyoung pulled out the red thread from earlier.

"I know Lisa believes in soulmates so this feels perfect. So do I and I think you do too. I hope you'll let Jisoo and I tie you guys together during the ceremony since the whole reason you're doing this is for the symbolism and to promise to each other you'll be with each other forever in every life to come.

And I think you deserve a bit of Korean in your wedding too, even if the story of the red thread is just supposed to be just a beautiful myth, to me it feels real. I think it's true, obviously not in the literal sense but in the way the universe conspired to bring you together."

"That's beautiful Rosie. I would love that and I don't have to think twice to know Lisa would love that so much too." Jennie said, tearing up because that would be such a beautiful way to honor their love and the love they had for the most important people in their lives besides each other. "You guys were the reason we were even brought together, it's like you guys were our human red thread. I'd be honored if you did that for us."

"There's something else I want you to know about this specific thread. I've been carrying it around ever since Jisoo proposed. I've had it blessed by every important person in our lives, and your lives. They've held it and prayed or wished or willed over it what they wanted for the people tied to both ends.

I went to every monk in the last temple and this one to add their blessing too.

To bless you and Lisa and me and Jisoo.

This is the same thread Jisoo and I just used to get married with." Chaeyoung grinned. "I think we're all kind of soulmates in some way, all four of us.

So I thought it'd be a nice touch if you tied yourselves together with the same thread we declared our promise to always find each other no matter what comes next. I think this will give us luck that in the next one you guys will be our human red thread and we can keep taking turns in every life so that we always find each other and the four of us stay together forever."

It took Jennie a second to truly catch up to what Chaeyoung said because she was so moved by those words because she wanted that too and Jennie really would never be surprised that her wifey was Lisa's best friend because they've always thought alike.

Jennie and Jisoo had to meet them before they realized soulmates actually existed but Lisa and Chaeyoung had always believed and Jennie thought it was such a beautiful way to think. Jennie was in awe of their idealism, especially because they were right in the end.

Jennie was about to say as much but then did a double take.

"Oh my god! Oh my god Rosie is that why you guys disappeared for like an hour and a half?!"

Chaeyoung nodded, grinning giddily.

"Holy crap!! You're married hubby!" Jennie said excitedly, clapping just as giddily and then skipped to her to pull Chaeyoung into a hug. "Oh I'm so happy for you! Did Jisoo cry? She totally cried didn't she?"

"Yes, it was adorable. I'm sorry I deprived you of that moment but we really couldn't wait and Jisoo's dad isn't here and I know his feelings would be hurt if he was the only one that didn't get to witness it so it was just us and the monk that officiated and honestly it felt a lot more intimate and special that way because of the dynamic of our relationship.

You know I share everything with everyone and Jisoo only shares everything with me and it felt kind of special only sharing something with her that no one else knew. Something just for her to keep close like my first ever vows to her and our beautiful wedding."

"It's okay, this is probably better for Jisoo's pride because maybe when you have your 'official' wedding she might not cry in front of everyone. I think she'll still cry though." Jennie giggled. "Oh my goodness, do you know what this means?"

"We'll have the same anniversary now?" Chaeyoung said grinning, knowing exactly where Jennie's mind went.

They both grabbed each other's hands and started jumping up and down giddily.

"We really are wifey and hubby now." Jennie said teasingly. "We share the same anniversary so it's like the same thing right?!"

"That's exactly what I was thinking too." Chaeyoung said as they continued skipping and giggling in a circle.

Jisoo walked into the room and melted at the sight.

She had just been with her mom to tell her too who simply smacked her in the back of the head impatiently and rolled her eyes as soon as Jisoo told her she was married now.

"I know. So you needing to declare that to me right now was really unnecessary. Do you think I don't know my own daughter? I birthed you, I've spent almost three decades dealing with the fact that when you want something you're going to find a way to get it no matter what. You're stubborn and you do whatever the hell you want at all times and as soon as I saw you this morning I knew.

You had that determined I'll move an entire mountain and no one and nothing, not even physics, can stop me that you get when you've decided something and considering your baby cousin is getting married today too it's really not that hard to put two and two together.

Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't break sooner and change your mind about postponing your wedding until after the trip. I might be losing my touch.

I knew you'd marry Rosie today and I also knew that the first thing that sweet girl would say to you when you said screw it and ask is bring up your father not being here as well today.

Who you probably didn't even think once about and practically forgot he exists despite you adoring him and hating when he cries almost as much as you hate when Rosie does because you were so blinded by love you literally forgot your sentimental father whose literally been almost as invested in the details of your wedding as Rosie has been would be the only one that wouldn't get to witness you two getting married."

Jisoo kicked the ground sheepishly as her mother raised a challenging eyebrow at her, daring her to deny it.

"Thought so. I don't even have to guess it was her idea to leave everyone out instead and have no one there so as not to hurt his feelings as much because she's thoughtful over everyone and you have a one track mind.

Even if I hadn't guessed you would do this as soon as I saw you, both of you disappearing for over an hour leaving your baby cousin to panic over her nerves with me and Chaeyoung not being the sweet girl she is glued to Lisa's side asking her if she needs anything every minute or so would have been my first clue. You're not slick.

Gong Yoo sent me this picture. He said he'll edit them later but he figured he would give me a preview."

Jisoo looked at it and almost cried again, Chaeyoung looked beautiful smiling like that and Jisoo knew she could hand this picture to a stranger and they'd be able to tell how irrevocably in love Jisoo was with her.

"I had him camp out in the next temple over on the neighboring mountain so you guys still had some privacy and he took pictures of you both from the distance. I was skeptical about how they'd turn out since he'd be so far but it's like he was right there next to you guys. Camera's these days.

This was his favorite one and I agree. You both looked radiant. I did this mostly for Rosie because I know she'll want to put this up in your house somewhere.

I wasn't with him so I didn't watch and that was mostly because I don't want to make your dad cry that I got to see and he didn't. You can use the pictures to ease him into it. I'll tell him this was your idea."

Jisoo rolled her eyes as her mom winked at her teasingly before she pulled her into a hug and congratulated her, then proceeded to joke that she hoped she didn't make Rosie sign a prenup so she can convince her to divorce Jisoo after their first wedding so the more responsible party ended up with half of everything Jisoo owned before they got married again in six months.

Jisoo thought that might not be such a bad idea anyway. Not the divorce part but the money part. She had already added Chaeyoung to all of her bank accounts, she might have to just remove herself from them now so she didn't do anything impulsive now that she was so filthy rich like buy an island and name it after Rosie.

Chaeyoung didn't know she co-owned all of the properties with Jisoo too and that Jisoo took care of her side of the property taxes for her. She didn't know about the bank accounts yet either.

She already had Chaeyoung in her will of course, she was getting most of it. Jennie, Lisa and her parents were in it too but Chaeyoung was getting most of it should anything happen to her but that stuff took forever sometimes and Jisoo didn't want Chaeyoung to have any sort of problems getting anything if god forbid something happened before they got married.

"Jerk." Jisoo said, shoving her mother playfully.

"You love me."

Jisoo rolled her eyes but didn't deny it and went to go find Jennie.

"Jendeukie." Jisoo started, once the girls stopped skipping, looking at her guiltily. Jisoo was bad with apologies and she didn't know how to say sorry to her for getting married without her there.

"I'll be there for the next one. No need to apologize." Jennie said, smiling hard at her cousin and shaking her head. "Besides, you did me a favor. I wouldn't be able to take the guilt if I got to be at your wedding and my uncle didn't.

He's too sweet. I already feel awful he can't be here for mine but I'm too impatient and it really had to be today. Apologize to him for me? I already did but maybe if you tell him how I tend to be irrational with Lisa he won't take it as hard."

"Don't worry Jendeukie, he put my mother on strict orders to video call him for the ceremony so he can watch the entire thing. He's skipping part of the conference to watch it all.

He already told his boss, the literal CEO of the company that he didn't care if she took away all of his bonuses this year and they docked his pay for it. He refuses to miss it.

He apparently even went so far as to tell her that if there had been time and the last minute flight to here hadn't had so many layovers and if it wasn't going to take him twenty two hours to get here from San Francisco that he would have skipped the tech conference and his keynote speech altogether despite their company and his technology being the main event.

Luckily she's got a great humor and she just laughed and told him he could skip the day if he needed to until his tech reveal speech."

"He's so sweet." Jennie giggled, knowing that was absolutely something he would do for her. She had already received several paragraphs from him apologizing that he couldn't get a flight out to see her in time so last minute.

Jennie walked up to Jisoo and hugged her.

"I heard you cried." Jennie said teasingly.

"Chipmunkkkk," Jisoo whined to Chaeyoung, feeling betrayed. "You told her?"

"She didn't have to." Jennie said. "I knew you would. Wait until Lisa finds out in six months." Jennie said teasingly.

"Jendeukie you wouldn't." Jisoo said seriously.

"Oh I so would." Jennie said with a devious smile.

"I'll kick Lisa out of the house if you tell her! And the office!" Jisoo said frantically. "I'm not dealing with her teasing me over it the rest of my life twenty four seven. I already can't deal with her as it is!"

"Then I'll just go with her." Jennie simply shrugged, taking the challenge.

"So what, I don't care." Jisoo said, forcing the pout down and crossing her arms defiantly.

"Yes you do babe." Chaeyoung said giggling. "You'd be bored without Lisa and you'd miss Jennie way too much if they stopped living with us."

Jisoo scowled.

"Fine, but I'm kidnapping her stupid cat again if she teases me about it even once and this time she won't get Leo back for a whole week and I'll let her mope around the house and tease her about him loving the rest of us more than her!"

"Again?" Chaeyoung asked with her eyebrow raised as she crossed her arms too, taking the stance she usually took when she pretended to scold her and threatened Jisoo by acting like she'd withhold kisses if she didn't behave.

"Oh shit." Jisoo said under her breath, realizing her slip. "Um—Alice and your parents should be landing soon, I should go meet them. Kai rented a car so I'll drive and pick them up. It's only right since I married their little girl without them here. I should start making amends." Jisoo said, backing out of the room nervously.

"Kim Jisoo what do you mean again?!" Chaeyoung said, using her stern voice.

Jisoo bolted out of the room.

"My make up birthday party." Jennie offered in explanation, giggling as she watched Jisoo leave because Jisoo couldn't lie to Rosie ever and her natural reaction was just to postpone it like a child and hope she'd forget about it if she avoided her but she could never stay away for long so she was just delaying the inevitable.

Jennie decided to throw her a bone and explain for her considering Jisoo had kidnapped Leo as a gift for her.

"The year my dad made me miss that surprise party you guys were going to throw me. It was her gift to me to prank Lisa and make her all mopey at the make up party the next day by pretending Leo ran away to make me happy but you know she did it for herself just as much as she did it for me.

I couldn't take it though. Lisa's sad puppy looks we're breaking my heart even though I pretended like she was just annoying me and ruining my party because she was just sitting on the couch looking like she was about to cry.

I broke first and acted like I found Leo and handed him to Lisa and Lisa was so happy she didn't even stop to question we were in our apartment and not the dorms and Leo had never been there before to randomly wander all the way over there and once the party started none of us had left the apartment at all. Idiot." Jennie said fondly.

"Of course. The party. I should have known it had been her because she asked me for the keys to our dorm room that morning and went by my class to pick them up saying she forgot your birthday present there and then we get a text in the group chat saying Leo was gone.

Jisoo never forgets things and she can't lie to me to save her life but I guess it wasn't a lie after all and that's why I didn't catch her when she asked for them." Chaeyoung said, shaking her head in amusement.

"She was being honest and now I know why she bolted. It's not like I'd punish her for a stupid prank like that considering her and Lisa literally thrive on pranking each other. She ran because she knew I would find another one of her hacks to get around me when she's being devious.

No wonder Alice randomly showed up to that party too eventually. I had invited her because she was in town for the week but she said she'd just meet me for lunch the next day. She had said she wanted to take a raincheck because she was tired from traveling and working on the case she was on. She recruited Alice didn't she?"

"I plead the fifth." Jennie said. "I'm not throwing your older badass lawyer sister under the bus, you can ask Jisoo that question and make her sweat it out when she tries not to sell out her new sister in law and not lie to her new wife."

"Oh I'm so going to ask her in front of Alice now. Great idea wifey. I'm sure Alice will help me mess with her." Chaeyoung giggled.

"It's official. My cousin has officially corrupted you." Jennie said laughing.

"Lisa has clearly corrupted you too." Chaeyoung teased her back. "Getting married twenty four hours after she proposed, who's the impulsive one now?"

"You got me." Jennie pretended to sigh dramatically. "What will we do with those two? We're going to have headaches for the rest of our lives trying to get them to behave around each other.

Especially once Lisa finds out Jisoo was the one who took her cat and Jisoo is going to try to throw me under the bus and tell her I knew and Lisa's going to retaliate for trying to put the blame on me.

It's going to be even worse when they're actually on the same side. I don't know how we're going to rein them in then. They're a little two powerful together. At least it won't be boring." Jennie giggled.

"Never a dull moment." Chaeyoung answered, giggling along with her. "It's probably a good thing they spend most of their time teasing each other or by now Jisoo would have built them a lair and designed a villain's version of a batmobile for the both of them to carry out their schemes."

"Please don't ever say that out loud in front of Lisa or she'll literally pitch the idea to Jisoo and convince her and we won't see them on weekends and one of Jisoo's bank accounts will solely have to be designated for their bail and to get Alice on retainer so she can get them out of trouble when they get too out of hand." Jennie deadpanned seriously.

"Trust me, I know better. Lisa will have drawn out their lair, found a cave for Jisoo to build it in, designed their villain logo and come up with their first five villain missions all by the end of the day and I guarantee you the first one would be figuring out a way to irrevocably ruin your parents' lives." Chaeyoung answered. "It's the only time I could see Lisa being that productive without needing someone to prod her."

"They would be more of the Robinhood type villains wouldn't they? Except instead of just taking money from the rich to give to the poor it'd be ruin the entitled rich and powerful that abuse their power. They wouldn't hesitate to use violence or plant evidence or do whatever it takes to take them down on behalf of those weaker than them." Jennie said giggling. "Some villains."

"You guys won't move out after this right?" Chaeyoung asked hopefully. "I know we're all going to be married and it's unconventional but the house is big enough for us to have privacy in our relationships too.

Its always reminded me of the mansion version of a hotel with joined rooms, except instead of locking the door for privacy from each other if we need it we can just stay in our own floor. We have our own living room upstairs too.

And as much as Jisoo pretends she doesn't love having you both there I know she does. I know it's why she bought that specific house in the first place. Because despite her thinking the bunker was really cool and wanting a house with a bunker, the design was perfect for us all to live our individual lives together.

It's why she suggested remodeling part of it to make a spiral staircase go directly into the kitchen from upstairs so we won't have to bother you to get to it.

She tried to casually suggest it when she found out Lisa was going to propose and made the excuse that it was so I'd get to my food supply quicker but I know internally she was panicking that you guys would want to leave after you were married.

She wants you there and you know I do too. I can't imagine not seeing Lisa every day and ever since I met Jisoo you've been a constant in my life too and I'd hate to not get to see you as often."

"That house was my first true home, even more than the apartment Jisoo and I shared together before this because the apartment seemed temporary. I always thought Jisoo would eventually leave me to go live with you so it never felt right.

You'd have to drag me out for me to leave, even if you guys hadn't wanted me there and tried to kick us out." Jennie said jokingly but she was being honest and she knew Chaeyoung knew it.

"We have no plans to leave hubby. Lisa's probably going to act all proud and pretend like she doesn't want to stay too but don't worry, between your disappointed looks and my pouts she'll cave in within seconds and act like she's only deciding we're both staying in order to make us happy and not because she really doesn't want to leave either."

"This is why you're my wifey." Chaeyoung giggled. "Are we having kids?"

"I want them." Jennie said. "How many should we have?"

"I don't really have a limit. How many do you want?"

"Honestly, as long as I have at least one, but I want them to not be so lonely as an only child but since you'll be having kids too I think that's fine even if we only have one, but I also know Lisa wants a mini me even though she's too nervous to be on the subject of kids and that makes me want to have a mini her too. And there's so many kids that need to get adopted so at this rate we'll end up with three. What do you think Hubby, you okay with three kids?"

"Are you okay us having more than three? Because I have a feeling like I'll be worse than Lisa with all the cats she wants to adopt. Once I adopt one I'll probably want the whole orphanage and it'll definitely be more than three."

"So basically we're going to have at least eight kids together, once we include our wives?" Jennie said teasingly.

"I might have to start working on getting Jisoo to find us a bigger house." Chaeyoung giggled.

"I love that we talked about how many kids we're gonna have together instead of our own partners." Jennie giggled.

"Of course we would, in the end, we're the ones that make the decisions. Jisoo and Lisa will let us have ten kids each if we asked for them."

"Our fearless tops that crumble before us with the simple threat of sending them to the couch or withholding kisses."

"Speaking of 'tops,' thanks for reminding me wifey." Chaeyoung said, using literal air quotes on the word and they both giggled. "I've left Lisa for too long. She's probably freaking about her vows right now so I should go check on her. Are you okay here?"

"Yeah, don't worry. Auntie Kim will be back in a second, she just went to steal some champagne from Jackson and Jessi for me for the nerves.

I'm sure Jisoo caught her on the way to tell her about your wedding and she probably got held up by Jessi once she finally made it who I'm a hundred percent positive probably convinced her to take some shots." Jennie giggled. "And I'm sure as soon as you leave Jisoo will be in here too, she's probably hiding around the corner right now."

"I know. I can't believe she'd think I'd buy it that she would go pick up my family personally, as much as she loves them too. Especially since she wanted to give Lisa a secret wedding present after she talked to you and her mom about us being married already.

So I know she went straight to Lisa instead and as if I'd believe as hard as she acts she'd leave you alone for too long on your wedding day, even if it is to pick up my family." Chaeyoung said rolling her eyes.

"I think she's hoping you forget before you scold her." Jennie said laughing.

"For an evil genius her logic is not very sound when it comes to me. I can't believe she didn't think about the fact she'd absolutely get a free pass considering we literally just got married and there's no way I could be mad at her.

Not that I ever truly am but especially not today, she could murder a monk in front of my eyes and it still wouldn't take away from today."

"Just make sure she doesn't kill the one that's supposed to officiate my wedding please." Jennie joked. "Because I really can't wait to marry Lisa and we've already spoken to him about how we want it to go and he seems perfect for it, like we were fated for him to do it because he vibed with both of us so well despite being a man of few words and Lisa would be devastated."

"Don't worry, we used the same one so there's no way Jisoo would kill the man that married us." Chaeyoung answered her. "He's safe, the other ones should be the ones watching their backs."

"I really hate that Lisa is so awful at keeping secrets because she would love to know the fact we got married by the same person you guys did on the same day with that same red string. You know how much meaning she would find in that and I hate that she can't know just yet."

"I know, it's going to be especially special to her since she's such a romantic and believes so hard in the soulmate thing." Chaeyoung said.

"She was right." Jennie smiled softly, trying not to cry.

"Yes, she was. Our idiot isn't such an idiot after all."

"Well, just know I want you to be the one that tells her that part. It can be part of Lisa's wedding gift to you that she doesn't know about yet when she reacts to you because I know she's going to find it so beautiful she shared so much with her sister and I can't imagine the beautiful moment you guys are going to share when she finally finds out.

But I demand to be there because I can't miss out and that can be your wedding gift to me to get to witness you guys so happy."

"Of course you would be there. Jisoo too."

"Thanks for giving us this gift Rosie, seriously. You made this day even more perfect by tying us all together like that."

A/N

I was originally not going to do an in depth of Chaesoo's wedding but it got away from me lol. But as holy Jisoo's would say. Sorry, not sorry.

How'd they do with the vows? Whose did you like best? Both, Neither?

Favorite part of the chapter? Tell meee cus I get self conscious writing Chaesoo since they're my soft side ship and I don't write them as much. Though I love them almost as much as Jenlisa they're literally only behind by like one point lol.
