Chapter 32 – Together Baam

Tae Breathes - Five Days before the Wedding

Tae pulled up KJ's number in his phone. He smiled at her contact photo. He'd taken her picture on the dance floor a couple nights previous. She was there hanging out with her best friend.

Tae and KJ had known each other casually for almost a year. They even shared scenes on the set of Tae's weekly series. But it wasn't until they saw each other at King's night club during Jimin's Bachelor Party that they felt the spark. Tae talked to her on and off throughout the night but every few minutes he would get pulled away to babysit Jimin. They agreed to talk more when they both had time. Tae was able to grab her number quickly while they danced.

KJ was captivating. She was smart, sexy, funny and HOT. She wasn't star struck like the other girls Tae dated. She treated him like any other guy. Probably because she was such an accomplished actress herself, she wasn't impressed by Tae or his status. She liked him for him and it was no more complicated than that.

Was he crazy to ask her to Jimin and jungkook's wedding? Tae thought about all the things that could go wrong. Would she think he was being too forward? What if she was a raging homophobe? Then what? He quickly dialed her number before he lost his nerve.

She answered. He spoke, "Hello, KJ. This is Kim Taehyung, do you remember me, we work together?" Tae said nervously.

"Tae, I know who you are." She laughed. Her voice was sultry and smooth. He imagined that she was probably a good singer. "How are you? I really enjoyed seeing you the other night," she said politely.

"Likewise. It seemed like our time together was so short. Sorry, I kept getting pulled away," Tae said modestly.

She sighed and then giggled, "The life of a K-Pop star is never easy is it?"

"Are you teasing me?" Tae said.

"I am. I really am," she replied. "So what's up K-Pop star, how are you doing?"

"I'm good. Been thinking a lot about you lately.

"Aww that's so sweet. I haven't thought about you at all," She laughed again.

"Playing hard to get are we?" Tae responded.

"I didn't realize you were trying to get me," She said.

They both laughed. Tae and KJ talked and talked and talked. Unlike so many others,she seemed to understand him. KJ was from the countryside of South Korea and she grew up on a farm just like Tae. She was a simple girl, despite her glamour, status and good looks.

They were about an hour into their conversation before Tae finally got up the nerve to say what he wanted to say. He cleared his throat before he spoke, "I would really like to see you again. Wondering if you'd like to, to go, to a wedding with me? Jimin and Jungkook are getting gay. I mean wedded, I mean gay wedding. It's a gay wedding. You don't have a problem with that do you?"

Tae pleaded with her in his mind, please say it's ok, please don't have a problem with it. Please be the loving open-minded woman that I hope you are, please don't be a jerk, pleasssssssee.

"Tae, why would I even care if they're gay? Love is love, right? Besides everybody who has ever seen OT7 kinda already knows that? And, I was at a gay club when you met me for goodness sake. My best friend is gay. I was there with HIM remember? I would love to see them walk down the aisle. So ya', I would love to go."

Tae exhaled. He was happy and relieved that he had a plus one.**

Seokjin to the Rescue – 5 days before the wedding

"This is impossible. We really can't find a place to have this reception. I've called at least 15 places. They all say no. Is this town really that homophobic?" Jungkook laid back on the couch rubbing his temples.

"Same here. I'm on number 12 on my list. The good news is there are plenty of non-gay friendly establishments in the area, if you happen to be non-gay." Jimin attempted a laugh when he really wanted to cry.

Hoseok was up pacing in circles around Jimin and Jungkook as they sat on the couch in his apartment. "Gentlemen, we've got less than five days to try to salvage this wedding. If we can't find another place for the reception, I'm not sure what we'll do. We can't hold it outside because it's too cold. Unless we hold it at HB practice studios?"

"NO, it smells like feet in there. I won't have it," Jimin said.

Hoseok fell on the couch across Jimin and Jungkook's laps, "All of my beautiful decorations, flowers, table linens, it will all go down the drain if we don't find a place." Hoseok put his wrist up to his forhead dramatically.

"Don't get discouraged guys. Seokjin is still working on it. He's got all kinds of connections in the food industry. I'll text him to see if he's made any progress," Jimin said.

Chim to RJ: Any luck? We're getting desperate

RJ to Jimin: So you only need me when you're desperate?

Chim to RJ: Oh stop, you know what I mean

RJ to Chim: Just kidding, I have a great lead for you

Chim to RJ: Really?

RJ to Chim: Yep, You at Hoseok's place?

Chim to RJ: Yep

RJ to Chim: On my way

"Ok, so Seokjin-hyung says he has a good lead. He's on his way down," Jimin said

There was a knock on the door a few minutes later. Jungkook hopped up to answer. Seokjin walked in casually eating a large, messy, slice of pizza. He spoke to Jungkook, "Hey boy, what's up?" He had pizza sauce on his hands and he wiped it in Jungkook's hair, just to let him know who was boss.

"HYUNG!" Jungkook yelped as he slapped his hand away. Seokjin, Jimin and Hoseok all laughed. Jungkook headed towards Jimin's old bedroom to get a towel to try to wipe the pizza sauce out of his hair.

"That wasn't very nice Seokjin-hyung, you know how sensitive he is about his hair," Jimin smiled.

"Yep, that's why I did it. Got to keep that boy in check. And is it me," Seokjin pondered as he sat on the floor next to Hoseok and Jimin," or is he getting taller?"

"Yes, he's taller. I don't know how he keeps growing, but he does. And YES, he's a muscle pig. He's takes his fitness very seriously. He loves lifting weights. I've even noticed a difference in the muscle structure of his back. His legs are so big that the seamstress had to refit all of his concert pants." Jimin explained. He gushed with pride.

"Who cares?" Hoseok glared at Jimin, "Nobody wants to hear you drone on about Jungkook's muscles. Reception sweetie. Stay focused."

Seokjin began providing his update, "I have a call in to my sister. She's friendly with many of the managers for the local luxury hotels. I told her what we needed and she put some feelers out. She got a hit on the Four Seasons. She knows the Manager well. They went to school together. She has to see what their "limitations" are and if they will allow you to have the reception there. Now we wait.

Jungkook emerged from Jimin's old bedroom with his hair completely wet. The other three stared at him.

"Did you wash your entire head sweetie?" Jimin asked.

"Yes, I don't want to smell like pizza all day," Jungkook said bitterly. He was irritated. Seokjin and Hoseok laughed at him again.

Seokjin's phone rang and all of them jumped. They all stared at the phone wondering if this was the answer they were hoping for.

"Answer it before she hangs up," Jungkook yelled, still a little irritated at the thought of pizza in his hair.

Seokjin waited two more rings, just to irritate Jungkook. Then he casually answered it.

"Hey

Really? From high-school right?

Mmm-hmm

Ok

ARMY? Really?

Mm-hm

Mm-m

Mmmmm- so Kimchi Rice Rolls? How does that work?

I'll try it

Mmm-hmm

Yes

A what?

What's a Jikooker?

What's an UWU?

Mm-hm

Really?

OK. I'll tell them.

Thanks Sis

I love you."

Seokjin hung up.

"Well?" Jimin was the first to ask what everyone was thinking.

"Well apparently, the Four Seasons is rolling out a new menu item. Kimchi Rice Rolls. I don't even know how the hell that's going to work. But sounds delicious," Seokjin ignored their anxious faces and started playing Mario Bros. on his phone.

"Hyung, respectfully, I'm going to put you in a choke hold if you don't tell us what your sister just said," Jungkook moved a little closer to Seokjin to make sure he understood the seriousness of his comments.

"Touch me and you'll be washing pizza sauce out of your hair for a week," Seokjin laughed. He thought he was very funny. He didn't realize that every moment he stalled with giving them an answer was causing agonizing pain and anxiety.

"Seokjin-hyung, this is our last hope. If the answer is no, we can't have our wedding. So I'm begging you to stop playing around and tell us what she said," Jimin asked kindly with a very sad tone to his voice.

No one can resist Jimin. Seokjin had planned to string them along for another couple of minutes. But the anguished look on Jimin and Jungkook's faces, broke his heart. These two had been through so much. There was so much love between them. He couldn't stand to see them hurt any longer.

"Ok, seriously guys. The Manager of the reception and catering facility is apparently ARMY. Good for us right? But more specifically, she is something called a Jikooker. It's a subset of ARMY who have known for years that you two were secretly dating. When she found out the wedding reception was for the two of you…well let's just say, you won't be paying anything for the rental of the facility. She said YES, you could have it."

Jimin and Jungkook high fived each other. Hobi jumped up and started dancing.

"Thank you so much hyung. You have no idea what this means to us," Jungkook hugged Seokjin as a sort of peace offering. Jimin hugged him too.

"She's a Jikooker?" Hoseok said confused.

"Yeah, apparently that's a thing. My sister said she had a huge "UWU" once she found out that Jikook wanted to get married at her facility. Don't even ask me what the fuck an UWU is." Seokjin cursed.

"Seriously, do you guys follow social media at all? Jikookers are fans who for many years now have known that Jungkook and I were dating. They pick up on every little thing we do. It's somewhat creepy but they have never been wrong. Jikook is our "ship" name. Come on, even Yoongi knows this," Jimin said.

Jungkook picked up where Jimin left off, "You guys remember when shipping was really popular a few years back. Jin, you were shipped with Namjoon, and Hoseok, you were always shipped with Tae. It's a big thing in the fandom. But it's all fake. With the exception of Jikooker's, many in the fandom would freak out if they thought we were really gay," Jungkook said sadly.

"Except for our Jikookers," Jimin repeated. They know the truth and love us more because of it." Jimin glanced at his phone, "The Jikook youtube videos are epic."

"I knew about Jikook as a ship, but I didn't know there was a "Jikook Nation" or "Jikookers". That's just weird. Well anyway congratuatiions. Your ship saved the day." Seokjin laughed at them all.

"I guess now we can all take a deep breath. Everything is back on track," Hoseok said, relieved.**

Honeymoon Flair – Three Days Before the Wedding

It was three days before the wedding. Jimin invited Tae to go with him to pick up a custom watch that he had made for Jungkook's wedding gift. Tae, who just recently earned his driver's license, decided to drive them.

The two joked in the car and reminisced about old times. Jimin looked at Tae as he drove down the road,

"Things are getting busy and I don't know if I'll have time to say this later. So I'm going to say it now. I never properly thanked you for telling me what Jungkook was up to. If it weren't for you, this wedding probably wouldn't be happening. It's more than just that though Tae. You – are the best friend that anyone could ever have. Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve two wonderful men in my life like you and Jungkook. In a prior life, I must have rescued a bus full of children or something. You two are the most incredible people in the world, and you both love me. How lucky am I? It's been me and you since the beginning of all of this. As much as I love Jungkook, there were times when I didn't know if we would make it. I didn't know if he would always be there. But, never, have I ever had any doubt about you. You are beautiful. Thank you, Tae." Jimin said his peace and smiled at Tae.

Tae tried to focus on the road. The warmth from his tears clouded his eyes and made it difficult to see. He quickly changed the subject.

"I'm bringing someone – to the wedding. I can't wait for you to meet her. Her name is KJ"

"The actress? The one who does the hospital scenes with you? I didn't know you two were an item." Jimin said, impressed.

"We aren't yet. Not exactly. But I hope we will be. She's something special Jimin. She gets me. She understands me like no one else." Tae smiled.

"That's impressive. You're not easy to "get". You are quite strange, you know that?" Jimin said begrudgingly.

"She is too. Match made in heaven," Tae turned into the parking deck of the watch store.

Jimin touched Tae's shoulder and gave it a squeeze. "I'm happy for you Tae. I hope this is the beginning of something very special."

They walked into the very exquisite Horologists' showroom. They were greeted upon entry by a personal shopper. She walked behind the glass case and pulled out a 24k gold box that housed Jungkook's custom designed watch. She handed it to Jimin.

Jimin loved it. He detailed for Tae the fine intricacies of functionality and accuracy. He swooned over the design.

"It's a mechanical watch, not quartz. The steel was polished by hand and the bridges are decorated in chamefered," Jimin went on saying words like "chamefered" which were completely lost on Tae.

The watch was inscribed on the back with the words, ���Together, Forever". The personal shopper pointed them to a viewing room in the back where Jimin could go to look at the watch and learn more about it's features along with the designer.

When it came time to pay, Jimin forked over $28,000.

"$28,000! This thing cost $28,000? You know there's a clock on his phone right? He can always see what time is it for free!" Tae mocked.

"Tae, I am very familiar with Gucci products. If I'm not mistaken… and my quick math serves me right, you are wearing well over $31,000 in Gucci apparel as we speak. Your coat alone cost just as much as Jungkook's watch. I would not throw stones if I were you." Jimin lauged.

"Touché," Tae conceded.

The two left the store and walked down an alley toward the car. Tae stopped and stared at a sign above them. Absentmindedly, he asked Jimin, "Where are you two going for your honeymoon?"

Jimin followed Tae's eyes to figure out where he was staring, "We aren't, we don't have time." There��s only four days free after the wedding before we go back on the road."

"You really think Jungkook, the most romantic man in the world, is going to allow you to get married and not go on a honeymoon? He flew you to Paris just to propose. I'm pretty sure there's a honeymoon up his sleeve. I think you need a few items to prepare," Tae said as he grabbed Jimin's arm and pulled him through the doorway of the Adult Toy Sex Shop.

"Where are we going anyway Tae?" Jimin said as he resisted,

Jimin and Tae stumbled into the Adult store. Jimin still didn't quite realize where he was until he saw the collection of large purple dildos hanging from the wall.

He giggled feverishly and turned red, "Where the hell are we Tae?"

"It's time for some honeymoon gear, brother," Tae was all in.

Tae immediately ran to a large bin full of black leather chaps. "These, please get these for Jungkook, please." Tae held up a black leather thong.

Jimin shook his head rapidly and whispered, "Tae put those down," he held his laugh as best he could.

Tae was not finished, he found another pair of underware that had a sleeve for the wearer to store his penis. The underware were shaped like an elephant so when the penis was erect, the sleeve would grow and look like an elephant trunk with ears. "These? Are these good?" Tae said encouragingly.

"Pass." Jimin looked around embarrassed. "Can we go now, Tae?"

"Nope." Next, Tae wandered over to a product called 'Nut Crackers'. "Oh, what are these?" Tae said with interest. Jimin scooted in close to Tae and read over his shoulder:

"Never let your nuts get hot again. These nut crackers keep your nuts on ice to help delay orgasm until just the right time. Never let your partner down again."

Jimin started to become a little more intrigured. No longer was he begging for he and Tae to leave the store.

"Jungkook definitely doesn't need those, but lately, sometimes I think I do." Jimin said anecdotely.

Tae was pleased that Jimin was starting to come around and have a little fun.

"Let's see what else is here? Oh what about these?" Tae held up a set of balls that you stuffed in your mouth and chained around your neck. Jimin seemed frightened. He backed away and walked into the other direction.

He stopped when he came to another wall of dildos. He looked up in wonder, "There's no way in hell Jungkook would let me stick that into him."

"Especially not one that BIG," Tae added.

"HEY, how do you know I'm not that –

"Seen it. Impressive, but not that," Tae interrupted.

Tae walked a little further, "What are all of these harnesses? OH GOD, is this where the stylists got all of our outfits for the Fake Love era?"

"Oh No, Tae I think it is. In fact, I still have that one at home in my closet." Jimin pointed to a manikin wearing a harness that was an exact duplicate of the harness he wore on stage. He was appalled.

Jimin was really starting to enjoy himself. He and Jungkook had never really explored the more experimental side of their sexual relationship. Maybe a few days alone on their honeymoon would be a good time to introduce new things into their routine. Their sex was already hot. Always hot and always good. Very good. Screaming and moaning and cursing kind of good. But Jimin was still open.

Tae yelled from across the store, "How bout these?" He was holding up another pair of underware. This time he was holdling them up to his body. They were black see through silk men's underware with a large hole for the penis to fit through.

"Tae listen to me. You're picking the worst shit possible. Please don't help. Please." Jimin walked over and gave Tae a pat on the back and giggled.

Tae wouldn't listen. He continued picking up item after item, each more preposterous than the previous. Finally, he came across something different, he yelled to Jimin once again, "You would look great in these. I'd jump you and I'm not even gay." Tae held up a pair of black Kelvin Klein boy shorts. They were fitted against the body and the legs extended to the upper thigh. They were a combo of spandex and cotton. They looked very stylish and comfortable. And Tae was right, they were very sexy.

"Tae, I actually like these." Jimin rubbed the material and admired the cut of the boxers.

"They are damn sexy that's for sure. I think you should get a white pair. They're the perfect honeymoon night lingerie." Tae scooped them up and put them in a basket. He looked around. "Let's see, what else?" Tae went left, Jimin went right.

Jimin found himself in the midst of the bondage area. There were whips, ropes, chains and handcuffs. Stuff that was too much for the mild-mannered sex life of him and Jungkook. But there was one thing that he couldn't pull himself away from.

"Huh, ohh," Jimin grabbed at his chest as he took them in with his eyes. There were so many different kind: Plastic, plush, silk, leather, even fur. He ran his hands along them, bracing for the sensation that would come when he touched the right one. It was not a surprise, that he chose a particular one. He pulled it down off of the rack and ran his hands and fingers across it. He slowly lifted it to his eyes and tied it behind his head. Surrounded in darkness, he could almost feel Jungkook's breath on him. It was a mystery where he would touch. Would it be a kiss, would it be a suck or would it be his dick? Jimin felt himself rise with excitement. He ran his hands along it again as it rested over his eyes.

"Why are you blindfolded in the middle of the store, you freak? Save that for the honeymoon. If you want it, get it and let's go." Tae teased Jimin profusely about his little episode with the blindfold. "I knew you had a kink for those things way back in the BST era. I'm amazed you just now figured it out."

Jimin couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was embarrassed, but very excited.

There was one more thing that struck Jimin's curiosity.

"What are these?" Jimin said aloud as he walked along a row of butt plugs. He had heard of them. He knew they existed, but he was never fully AWARE of them until this very moment. "Tae, come here," He beckoned Tae quietly.

"What do you suppose these do?" Jimin said innocently.

"Hm, Butt plug. I'm going to go with - they plug your butt," Tae started to walk away.

Jimin grabbed him to stop him from leaving, "I know that, but what do you think it feels like? Seems like an intense sensation, right?" Jimin was smiling somewhat diabolically. Tae could tell he was imagining popping that thing into Jungkook's ass.

"Look, man, my butt is exit only, so I can't really help you with that one. I guess we could ask someone?" Tae, always a wonderful friend, attempted to be helpful. "Excuse me, Ma'am?" Tae grabbed an attendant from the front of the store.

"Tae NOOOOOOO!" Jimin whispered loudly. It was too late. Tae was already returning with help.

"How can I help you two?" The store associate asked politely.

"We need to know how this works and what you do with it…no what it feels like, right?" Tae looked toward Jimin to make sure he got the question correct.

Jimin looked away and pretended not to know Tae.

"Well," the associate explained simply, "you slide it into your anus and it softens the area and stretches it gently to prepare for anal sex. You can also use it just as stimulation of the nerves in the anus to increase the intensity of your orgasm during masturbation or oral sex." She was very educational in her explanation. She passed no judgement.

"There you go. That's simple enough isn't it Jimin? Jimin?" Tae turned to Jimin. Jimin wasn't there. He was all the way in the corner hiding behind a manikin.

"Thank you so much for the help. I'm sure he wants it, so can you please add it to our things? We'll be up in a second to pay." Tae handed over his basket of goodies to the store clerk and headed back to flush Jimin out of his hiding spot.

He was about two feet away when Jimin laced him with profanities, "Damnit Tae! We could have just googled it. You didn't need to ask her for details. I'm so embarrassed. You're a loon, you know that?"

"Calm down buddy. I told her you'll take it. If you're too embarrassed to pay, I'll do it and just meet you in the car." Tae looked down at Jimin warmly.

Jimin felt bad for his mini rant towards Tae.

"No. I'll pay. There really is nothing to be embarrassed about. I love you, you loon." Jimin put his arm around Tae and walked towards the check out.

Tae and Jimin paid for Jimin's honeymoon flair and drove back to the apartment.

The Parents – Three Days Before the Wedding

Somehow, Jimin got to go shopping, but Jungkook got stuck picking up the parents from the train station. Both of Jimin's parents and both of Jungkook's parents were coming in early to assist with last minute arrangements and to have a family dinner.

"Aoki's hot, I'm telling you," Jungkook's mom explained to Jimin's mom as they held hands getting off of the train.

"MOM!" Junkook said in surprise.

"Hi sweetie, how are you?" Jungkook's mom kissed him and rubbed his hair.

Jungkook's dad pulled him into a hug and rattled, "Give her a break Kookie, Aoki's her freebee, I'm good with it."

"DAD!" Jungkook was miserable already.

He looked past his own embrassing parents and walked towards Jimin's parents.

"Hello Mommy," Jungkook said.

"Hello Jungkookie," Jimin's mom said as she handed him a large bag full of chocolate truffles.

"Jeon Jungkook," Jimin's dad said as he bowed formally and then punched him in his injured shoulder. He winced in perceived pain when he realized which shoulder he punched. He quickly apologized to Jungkook and gave him an awkard handshake.

"Now why are you allowing Jimin to go shopping while you're stuck here with the old people?" Jimin's mom asked.

"Because I love him?" Jungkook said, not quite sure. That was the best answer he could provide.

"You should be sure of that by now boy. In a couple of days, it's no turning back." Jungkook's dad said as the entire group erupted in laughter.

Jungkook piled his family into his Mercedes SUV and headed towards the Four Seasons Hotel where they were staying.

"Alex is already there at the hotel Mommy, I picked him up this morning. He was exhausted so I let him sleep," Jungkook told Jimin's mom.

"Thank you so much sweet Jungkookie. We appreciate you taking care of him," Jimin's mom said.

"Jungkookie," his mom said, "I learned the entire mic drop dance and all the choreo."

"That's great mom. That song is about four years old. Nobody really cares about it anymore." Jungkook said.

"You really know the entire thing? That's really difficult choreo," Jimin's mom said impressed.

"I do," Jungkook's mom said proudly.

Jungkook ignored her ranting. His mom's obsession with Steve Aoki made him uncomfortable. He preferred to just pretend it didn't exist.

Jungkook's dad and Jimin's dad were engaged in a deep conversation about the state of South Korean soccer. Every few minutes they would high five each other as they agreed upon the steps required to improve the team.

Jungkook loved them all dearly. His heart was full of joy to see them all here together. It was a miracle that this moment had come. He looked in his rear-view mirror at all of their faces and felt tremendously grateful for all of them. However, they were still getting on his nerves and he really wanted them out of his car.

Namjoon's Mystery – 2 Days Before the Wedding

Jimin woke up in a panic. It was 4am KST.

"Jungkook, Jungkook wake up," Jimin shook him violently to make him wake up. "This is a nightmare." Jimin said as he hurried out of the bed. He threw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Jungkook was still not awake. Jimin didn't have time to be tender, he picked up his tennis shoe and threw it at Jungkook's back.

"Ouch," Jungkook woke up grabbing at his back.

"I'm sorry babe, but this is an emergency, I need you to get up," Jimin said firmly.

"Jimin what is it?" Jungkook was a bit perturbed at Jimin for throwing a shoe.

"Jungkookie, we need to wake Hobi. We don't have anyone to marry us?" Jimin said in a panic.

"That's right!" Jungkook remembered immediately. "The clergy backed out. We never found a replacement."

"We were so stressed about finding a new reception location that we skipped over the clergy completely," Jimin brushed his teeth quickly, put on a pair of flip flops and headed out the door.

"Wait for me," Jungkook yelled as he popped out of bed. He was wearing a pair of soccer shorts; surprising for someone who typically slept naked. He didn't bother to put on a shirt. He ran behind Jimin as they headed over to Hoseok's apartment.

"Hobi, Hobi!" They yelled at the door. Jimin remembered it was his apartment and pulled out his key. He wasn't sure which was the right one. He fiddled with them for a few seconds. Jungkook gently took them from him and went directly to the correct key. He opened the door. Hobi was about three feet away prepared to run at the first sign of danger.

"What? What are you doing here? It's like 4am," Hoseok said.

"We forgot to replace the clergy. It's two days before the wedding and we have no one to marry us." Jimin said with his voice full of urgency.

"SHIT! I knew it was too good to be true. Everythign was coming along so nicely, I should have known that we missed something." Hoseok swore and then vanished for about one minute. He came back with one of Jimin's shirts in his hand. He threw it to Jungkook without any direction. Jungkook assumed that Hobi was uncomfortable with his level of undress and wanted him to put the shirt on. Without further protest, Jungkook slid the shirt onto his wide muscular body. The shirt was about three sizes too small. It gripped his biceps tightly almost cutting off his circulation. The length of the shirt fell so short that it stopped at his mid-section. His abs and stomach remained exposed. Jungkook wasn't sure if putting the shirt on was even worth the effort.

Jimin, in the midst of his despair, smiled widely and quickly took a picture of Jungkook with his cell phone, "I'll come back to this situation later." He said to Jungkook as his eyes surveyed his tight abs peaking from underneath his undersized clothing.

Hoseok continued to speak, "Get on the phone right now. We're going to have to call every restaurant, courthouse, hotel, every place that does weddings. With any luck, we'll be able to find someone on staff."

The three of them spent the next four hours calling around to all of the clergy in the area. No one would agree to perform a gay wedding.

"What if we just don't tell them we're gay?" Jungkook suggested.

"I hear you, but that would backfire pretty quickly once they saw you two beauties pouncing down the aisle," Hoseok said.

"Ohh GOD, why us? Jimin yelled as he clawed at his face with his fingertips.

Jimin took his phone out of pocket and sent a text:

Jimin to Group: URGENT, we need help

Yoongi to Jimin: I can't help you at 8:00 in the morning, check back at 10:00

Seokjin to Jimin: I already reached my help quota

Taehyung to Jimin: Where are you? What's happening?

Namjoon to Jimin: What is it?

Jimin to Taehyung: Hoseok's apartment

Namjoon to Jimin: What's the problem, can you tell me?

Jimin to Namjoon: No clergy. We completely forgot

Namjoon to Jimin: I'm on my way

Jimin to Group: We just need to know if you know anyone who can help?

Namjoon to Jimin: I'm here, open the door

Jimin went over and opened the door for Namjoon.

"Hey Mochi, don't look so sad. I think we got this," Namjoon was smiling so big that it actually made Jimin nervous.

"Namjoon, you ok?" Jimin asked

"I'm very ok, this is a day that I hoped would come,' Namjoon said. "I have someone who can marry you," Namjoon did a little dance.

"Who?" Jungkook chimed in.

Namjoon was about to speak but was distracted by Jungkook's tiny t-shirt.

"Stripping? Chippendale model? What's going on here?" Namjoon said, holding back laghter.

"Aw shut up please hyung, just tell us who can marry us," Jungkook snapped.

"Me." Namjoon sat smugly on Hoseok's couch.

"How you?" Jimin said awkwardly.

"Sit down. Let me explain. Jungkook came around and sat on Jimin's lap. They leaned into Namjoon to hear his explanation.

"South Korea has passed several new laws regarding gay marriage. Times have changed and legislation is moving fast. Even though legally things are changing, socially it's still a mess. I knew the night that you told me you were getting married here in South Korea, that you would not find a clergy member who would agree to do it. There is major persecution that goes on for any member of the clergy or any judge who performs a gay marriage.

Even with that going on, the legislature has passed a ruling similar to Japan in that you can now legally obtain a certificate of partnership. It's not marriage. It's not recognized in other Countries. It's not recognized legally to give you any protections. But what it does do is allow you to go on record with the government as being married and your spouse being acknowledged. You get some protection against descimination since you are married, you also get some protection with medical records and POA's. To make sure that almost NO ONE qualifies to get a certificate of partnership, the legislature also passed laws around who could perform the ceremony that would lead to a certificate. They were very strict. The applicants could not be current clergy or up for re-election as a Judge. The application had to take over 60 hours of education. And lastly, the applicant had to be a member of South Korean parliament or other International branch of government. Well as of 2018, we were all appointed Youth Ambassadors to the UN representing the Country of South Korea. That meant that I met all of the qualifications to not only perform the ceremony, but to also assure that you received your certificate.

Junkook dropped down beside Namjoon, "By any chance, is that why you had to leave every night around 10pm while we were on the Asia tour?"

"Yes, I knew immediately that you weren't going to find anyone to perform this ceremony. So I got a little advice from some of the clergy who are associated with the UN and they told me all of this information. I started classes immediately. It required so much of my time, that's why I would disappear every night at 10pm. That's when my online classes started.

"Jungkook, that's exactly what you guessed," Jimin said, "when we were trying to figure out what Namjoon was doing and where he was. "

"Yeah, I called in favors from a few dignitaries and here we are," Namjoon concluded.

Why didn't you say anything ealier?" Hoseok asked.

"Because I knew it would take you a while before you relized what was happening. I wanted to be here when you needed me the most," Namjoon smiled.

"Jungkook hugged Namjoon." Tears were flowing freely down his face. He couldn't believe that his brothers loved he and Jimin this much. So much had gone wrong but his brothers came to the rescue and salvaged everything. Yoongi with the cake, Seokjin with the new reception location and Namjoon with the ceremony. Jungkook began to sob on Namjoon's shoulder as he thought about the sacrifices that so many of them made just for them.

Namjoon motioned to Jimin to come and get Jungkook off of his shoulder.

Rehearsal – 1 Day Before the Wedding

"Remind me again why we need to rehearse this?" Jungkook was hungry and grumpy and didn't see a need to practice walking down an aisle.

"So that you don't make a fool of yourself when 150 people are here watching," Hoseok said. "You have to know where to go and we have to work out problems before they happen in real life. Problems such as Yeotan stopping to pee on the guests. Tae get him!" Hoseok yelled.

Jungkook watched Hoseok run down the aisle with a napkin to wipe up Yeotan's pee. "It's pretty simple, I just put one foot in front of the other and go." Jungkook barked.

Jimin peaked from around the corner, "Don't be grumpy. I know you're hungry," Jimin walked up to Jungkook and gave him a granola bar, a bag of seaweed chips and a banana. "I got snacks for you. Eat this. Hang in there. We'll be headed for dinner soon. I love you," Jimin disappeared back to wherever it was that Hoseok was holding him hostage.

Inside the South Korean history museum, the decorators were working hard to pull together a beautifully designed room in time for the wedding. The rehearsal was a bit of a hindrance for them, but they continued to work in tandem with the events to avoid losing any time.

The rehearsal lasted another two hours. Jimin peppered Jungkook with snacks throughout the duration. Especially when he sensed Jungkook was getting a little agitated.

They left the Museum and traveled straight to the restaurant for a large family dinner. All of OT7 were invited, including their families. Jimin and Jungkook's parents were the hosts. Over 40 people attended the event.

Jimin was sitting next to Jungkook with hords of family and friends surrounding them. Everyone was happy. Everyone was joyous. Jimin looked at Jungkook. There were unspoken words passed between them. Jimin excused himself from the table. The crowd was laughing and talking so loudly that they barely even noticed him leaving. Jungkook counted to one-hundred and then followed.

Jimin caught him as he walked towards the deck and pulled him outside into the 40 degree temperatures. No words were exchanged, just a deep passionate kiss. They were both freezing, but there was so much warmth within each other. Somehow, it had been over two weeks since they made love. It had been over five days since they were truly alone. So many family and friends had converged upon Seoul that the two of them barely had time to breathe. The pressure of the last-minute wedding details was a burden. They both felt the need to just release.

"We should go ba –

"Shhh." Jungkook shushed Jimin and refused to let him speak. Instead he kissed his mouth again. He ran his hands slowly down Jimin's butt and rested his open palms on him. He moved to Jimin's ear and tugged gently on Jimin's earring with his teeth. He closed his eyes and moved his lips lightly, lightly over Jimin's nose, cheeks and then lips. He breathed him in. Jimin was wearing Jungkook's favorite cologne. He nuzzled Jimin's neck to get a better wiff of his scent. His tongue led him to Jimin's bottom lip. He licked it and kissed it and then took it in his mouth. Jimin let out a sigh. Hoseok was calling for them to return so that Jimin's father could make a toast. They dropped their heads and placed their foreheads together.

"Soon," Jimin said.

"Not soon enough," Jungkook repeated his line from the night they first kissed.

After dinner, Jimin and Jungkook were exhausted. They had safely tucked all friends and family away for the evening. They looked forward to going home and going to bed. Jimin held Jungkook's hand as they walked towards his car.

Hoseok came from out of no where and slapped their hands apart.

"Oh Hobi-hyung, not this again," Jungkook whined.

"This one is coming with me," He picked up Jimin and redirected him towards his car. It's 24 hours before the ceremony and it's bad luck for the Groom to see the Groomzilla before the wedding. So Jimin's staying with me tonight." Hoseok was pulling Jimin to his car.

Jungkook was incredulous. First, he didn't want to spend a night without Jimin. Second, he wasn't going to allow some silly superstition to dictate his behavior.

"I don't believe in that silly stuff. Can I please have my Groomzilla back?" Jungkook yelled across the parking lot.

"I'm the Groom, you're the Groomzilla," Jimin yelled back as Hoseok stuffed him into his car. "I love you, see you tomorrow."

Jungkook started to protest, but it was too late. Hoseok had driven off with his Groomzilla…eh err Groom? Jungkook walked sadly to his car. He missed Jimin already.

Black Hair Jimin – Wedding Day February 14, 2021

Jimin woke up around 10am. He slept late because Hoseok turned off all alarms, and phones to keep the apartment quiet. Hoseok wanted to make sure that Jimin got as much sleep as possible without being disturbed.

Jimin had to be at the HB studios salon by 11am KST. He was dying his hair black as a surprise to his Groom. Jungkook had never made any kind of demands on Jimin regarding his personal style. He loved him regardless of hair color, weight, eye color…it didn't matter. Jungkook fell in love with his heart, not just his looks. But Jimin had always known that Jungkook had a special place in his heart for his dark hair and more natural look. Jimin couldn't help but notice that all of Junkook's favorite pictures of him were all of him with black hair and brown eyes. Jungkook previously mentioned how beautiful he thought Jimin looked naturally, but he never gave any indication that natural was his preference. Well today, Jimin was going as natural as possible.

Jimin was wearing a light blond hair color, so it was relatively easy to over take it with the black. Jungkook had a picture of Jimin that he always carried in his wallet. It was his screen saver on his phone. Jungkook loved that picture. Jimin asked the stylist to recreate the hair style as closely as possible. He knew Junkook would be stunned to this version of Jimin.

Derrick showed up at the HB Salon.

"What are you doing here?" Jimin gave him a bro handshake and a quick hug.

"I heard you were changing your hair color? I wanted before and afters for the photo book. Your metamorphosis from single hot stud, to old married lady," Derrick teased as he began snapping photos of Jimin.

"How did you know I was coloring my hair? This was a closely guarded secret. The only two people who knew were me and…," Jimin looked up suspiciously at his stylist.

She looked down at him in the chair, "This is your wedding day, I wanted every moment to be captured. So forgive me for leaking it to Derrick," the Stylist said.

It was around 3:00pm KST when everyone began arriving at the Museum. The Groom and Groomzilla each had their own separate dressing rooms. Hoseok continued to keep them apart, not even allowing them to text. He took complete control over Jimin's phone. Each time Jungkook would text, Hoseok would respond with, "No contacting Groomzilla before the ceremony. Now leave him alone."

Jungkook would roll his eyes each time he received a response that was clearly not from Jimin. He knew he should give up, but he didn't want to miss the chance of actually speaking to Jimin if he managed to get his phone back.

Hoseok stepped away leaving Jimin's phone laying on the couch. Jimin grabbed his phone and snuck into the changing room. He held the phone down his pants to snap a close up of his abs and the hairs that made up his happy trail leading down into his dick. He texted the pic to Jungkook with a message that said, "Soon".

Jungkook received the text and laughed. Apparently, Jimin had manged to get his phone back. Jungkook was completely turned on. He responded with a picture of his own. He pulled down his pants and cupped his dick with his left hand and snapped a pic with his right. He texted it back to Jimin with the message, "Not soon enough!"

Jimin was about to respond when Hoseok snuck up behind him and snatched the phone from him.

"Is he texting again? I told him to leave you alone." Hoseok looked at the screen and saw the text that was meant for Jimin's eyes only. He said nothing. He didn't have to. His expression said it all.

Jimin laughed so hard that he doubled over grabbing Hoseok's arm. "That's what you get for stealing other people's phones." Hoseok dropped Jimin's phone on the carpet and literally kicked it across the room with his bare feet.

"Hey. You break my phone, you're paying for it." Jimin laughed as Hoseok once again left the room.

Jungkook was disappointed that he didn't get a response. He knew it was not Jimin's fault but rather an interception by Hoseok. "Well, hope he enjoyed my dick pick," Jungkook said aloud laughing.

Jimin laid on the couch in his dressing room. He had a couple of hours before the rest of the guys and his parents would be arriving. He decided to take advantage of the time and take a quick nap. Hoseok was the only one in the room and he knew he could enjoy a little peace and quiet with just the two of them there. Hoseok was tired too. He laid back in a chair next to Jimin and closed his eyes.

Kwang's Battle – Wedding Day

Kwang arrived three hours early. Guests for the private ceremony were to be directed through the South entrance of the museum. It was so early, that there was no one there to officially begin navigating guests for the wedding. He found the first attendant available and asked for directions.

"Good Evening," Kwang's voice was deep and soothing. A voice not dissimilar to Hoseok's but with a steadier and more even tone, "I'm Kwang Yoshumura, I'm here for the wedding. I believe I'm on the guest list."

The attendee, slightly perplexed why guests were arriving so early, looked down at her sheet to verify Kwang's invitation. She took a quick picture then scanned his fingerprint. She then pointed him towards the dressing rooms.

"We aren't quite ready to begin seating guests just yet but you're more than welcome to visit with the Grooms in their dressing rooms," she pointed, "Hoseok and Jimin are in the room on the East wing and Jungkook is in the West wing dressing room."

Kwang bowed a polite thank you and headed toward the East. He knocked on the door but didn't receive an answer. He opened the door slowly still knocking as he went, hoping that he wasn't intruding. He walked in and saw Jimin and Hoseok both asleep.

Kwang walked over to where Hoseok was sleeping and watched him. Hoseok was the love of his life. And now he was hoping against hope that it wasn't too late to make him realize it. He knelt down and lightly stroked Hoseok's cheek. Hoseok awoke slightly startled.

"What the fuck?" Hoseok swore loudly.

"Shhh, you'll wake Jimin," Kwang smiled.

"Forget Jimin, what are you doing here Kwang?" Hoseok was visibly upset and completely put off by Kwang's presence.

"I was invited by Jimin and Jungkook," Kwang said as he stood back up.

Hoseok bristled and rose from his seat, "They didn't mention anything to me about you being invited."

Kwang took out his invitation and showed it to Hoseok.

Hoseok shrunk back in defeat. "Well, you're very early. The wedding doesn't start for another two and half hours. So please go find a seat in the ceremony hall."

"I tried, they made me come here. Guests aren't being seated yet. Looks like I'm hanging out with you two," Kwang smiled.

"Nothing has changed Kwang. So please, I can't do this today." Hoseok said as he walked away.

"Hobi, everything has changed. I'm a different person now than I was back then. I need you in my life Hobi. No more pretending, no more hiding. I know I hurt you back then, but if you give me another chance. I will never let you down again," Kwang sai,d as he poured out a flurry of emotion. Hoseok was not expecting this.

Hoseok looked over at Jimin to make sure he was still sleeping. He grabbed Kwang by the arm and walked him to the opposite end of the room. "You can't fucking come here with this. Not today. This is their day."

"Why can't it be our day too? Why can't it be the day you decided to give me another chance?" Kwang was laying his heart on the line.

"Where is this coming from? You break into my hotel room a few weeks ago and then you con your way into this wedding, why are you doing this to me?" Hoseok poked Kwang in the chest lightly.

Jimin shifted on the couch. He began to snore lightly. Hoseok lowered his voice and continued talking, "This is not right. It's not fair to me," Hoseok had a pained expression on his face.

Kwang placed his arms around Hoseok's shoulders,

"Time is short. We're getting older by the moment. I don't want to wake up ten years from now alone because I lost the only man that ever mattered to me. There's a lesson that I learned watching these two," Kwang gestured towards Jimin, "and that lesson is, if you don't stand up and fight for who you love, no one else will. I've fought in many battles. I've fought North Korea, Japan, Taiwan, but I've never fought for you. That changes now. I'm fighting. I have my gloves on. I'm ready to battle." Kwang moved ever so slightly closer to Hoseok.

Hoseok was starting to yield slightly under Kwang's charms. He looked at him fully. All 6'2" of him was cloaked in a custom fitted black tuxedo. Hoseok could see the outline of his 9mm gun pressed up against his hip. Kwang's skin had a glowing olive tone that he inherited from his Japanese father. He had large dimples on both sides of his face that gave him the look of a much younger man. He was military through and through so his physique was that of a soldier who took exceptional care of his body. His upper body was thicker than average and provided a sturdy base for the bulk of his muscles. He looked thinner than he actually was because of his overwhelming height. His eyes were large and round, a trait that he had taken from his Korean mother. His hair was jet black with a slight grey streak that gave him an emo vibe. For this special occasion, he had it slicked back. The style gave him the look of a famous heart throb from the 1920's. Kwang was a dancer in his younger days so he still carried himself with the perfect posture born of a strong core. In fact, dancing was how Hoseok and Kwang met. They were both in competing boy bands. It was how they fell in love. Seemed like their first meeting was ages ago. Now here they stood face to face again after all these years. Hoseok was stupefied.

Kwang began a thoughtful negotiation, "Listen, I'm not asking you to promise me forever right now. I'm asking you to promise me another chance right now. Let me win back your heart. I can love you like no one else and I think you know it." Kwang's dimples exploded all over the room. "I'm asking for dinner, wine and maybe some kissin'. That's all. Maybe after the wedding, we could?"

Hoseok's defenses were down. Honestly Kwang had captured him weeks ago when he showed up in his hotel room. His appearance today was just icing on the cake.

"Kissin'," Hoseok teased Kwang, "is a bit presumptuous. But I guess the rest is ok." Hoseok smiled.

"Thank you, you won't regret this." Kwang closed his eyes and kissed Hoseok's forehead. "Now for a little truth telling time. I came early hoping to see you so we could talk. We've done that. Now I feel the need to get out of your way. So I'll leave."

"Don't go." Hoseok surprised Kwang by stopping him from leaving. "I'm sure Jimin won't mind you sticking around."

"Well I'll take time to do a little work while I'm here. I need to hack into an Indonesian pharmacy that's illegally selling plutonium. So that should keep me busy. I'm going to get my computer. I'll be right back." Kwang's dimples erupted again as he left the room.

Jimin jumped up from the couch screaming, "I knew it. I knew there was still something there. I told him not to give up! I told him!"

"You ass! Were you eavesdropping on a private conversation? We thought you were sleeping." Hoseok said angrily.

"Asleep! While the reconciliation of the century was happening? Hell no! I woke up as soon as his sexy ass walked into the room." Jimin laughed.

"This was a private conversation." Hoseok chided Jimin for insensitivty.

"Yep, private between you, him and me! Because I'm taking full credit for this at YOUR wedding." Jimin laughed so gleefully. He was experiencing boundless joy in his heart knowing that Hoseok was giving Kwang another chance. He grabbed Hoseok and hugged him.

Kwang returned, "Hi Jimin, you're up? Don't mind me, I'll be in the back doing some work."

The best man arrived around 5:00pm KST. Tae wasn't dressed yet, but he had his tux hanging over his shoulder in a garment bag.

"He walked up to Jimin who was with the stylist again, getting his make up done. Tae kissed him on the top of the head, "Hello bestie, well today's the big day!" Tae smiled showing all of his teeth and lightly punched Jimin in the shoulder.

"Hi Tae-Tae, why aren't you dressed?" Jimin asked.

"I had to pick up KJ. I didn't want her to see me in my tux yet. I want it to be a surprise. She's got Yeontan. She offered to walk him to make she he doesn't wee wee in the aisle," Tae said.

Tae looked around and noticed Kwang sitting in the back of the room on his compter. "Yo, double 'O' seven what's up?" He yelled.

Kwang looked up from his computer and waived, "Yo Brother, how's it going?"

Tae turned to Jimin and mouthed, "What is that all about?"

"We'll talk later," Jimin smiled. ***

Upside Down – Wedding Day

Yoongi, Seokjin and Namjoon arrived through the West wing where Jungkook's dressing room was located. Jungkook was fully dressed. He was sitting in front of the dressing room's television playing Overwatch.

"Get it in now boy because your days of spending hours fighting Overwatch battles is ovah! Your new husband won't allow much of that." Seokjin teased Jungkook and slapped him on the back.

Yoongi and Namjoon rushed toward Jungkook. They grabbed him unceremoniously and lifted him, turning him completely upside down. They shook him violently causing him to get slightly dizzy. "Just making sure you don't have any money in your pockets," Namjoon yelled.

Jungkook giggled and yelled, "Guys put me down, what are you doing? You're going to wrinkle my tuxedo." Jungkook was still hanging upside down when his parents walked into the room.

Namjoon And Yoongi rushed to release him. They uprighted him and sat him down gently on his feet. Jungkook's dad laughed at the entire scene. Namjoon and Yoongi both bowed to jungkook's parents and walked to the other end of the room.

His parents walked over to Jungkook and looked at him. His mother brushed his hair with her fingers, "You're all grown up now. I can't believe it's your wedding day. Sweetheart, I'm so, so proud of you..." she started to cry.

"Aw mom, don't do that. Please." Jungkook looked at his dad. "Dad can I get a little help here?" His father was no help, for he too had begun to tear. His dad put his hand behind Jungkook's neck and gave him a short speech,

"The man you've become is amazing to me. I raised you to be strong, and fearless but I never could have imagined this. You may be the bravest, strongest man I know. I love you my boy."

Both his parents embraced him. Their tears led to Jungkook's tears which led to Yoongi's tears which led to Namjoon's tears. Seokjin was the only one not crying.

"This is a wedding. We're supposed to be happy. I got a joke. Why aren't elephants allowed on the beach?" Seokjin was dancing with excitement about his answer.

Jungkook's parents looked at Namjoon and Jungkook for guidance. They all shrugged. Seokjin continued with the punchline,

"Because they can't keep their trunks up!��� He held his side laughing. The others laughed at his laughter. It was the perfect mood adjuster to stop the tears.

It was time for everyone to get dressed. All five members of OT7 wore matching white tuxedo jackets with black tuxedo pants and black bow ties. It was an evening wedding so Jimin chose for them to do a classic and elegant look. Jimin of course wore his classic white suit and white tie and Jungkook wore a classic black suit with a black tie.

Uncle Koo – Wedding Day

The stylists arrived to do hair and make up for all of the band members. Jungkook had just finished in the stylist's chair when he heard a sweet voice bellowing from down the hall way, "Uncle Koo!"

It was Jungkook's niece Ki. She strutted through the door as if she were the Princess of the world. She ran up to Jungkook and hugged his neck. Ki was a sassy six-year old who had been a Jikooker since birth. Having Uncle Jiminie become her real Uncle was as joyous as going to see Santa. The wedding was her idea of a real-life fairytale and she was there to claim her title as Princess of ceremony.

Jungkook's brother slowly walked behind her. "Ki, only the guys are allowed in here."

"Then why's Grandma here?" Ki snapped at her dad.

"Mom, will you please explain to her that you're a special exception," Jungkook's brother pleaded with his mom to talk some sense into Ki.

"Ki, I'm just here to see Kookie for a second and then I'm leaving." Jungkook's mom said.

"Ok grandma, I'll see you later," Ki ignored her grandmother's hints and continued her conversation with Jungkook.

"Uncle Koo, I'm having a crisis. I totally need you right now," Ki was pouting and looked as if she might cry.

"What's wrong my little Princess?" Jungkook knelt down next to Ki so they were eye to eye.

"My hair isn't right," Ki pouted again

"It looks great to me," Jungkook said reassuringly.

"Noooo, I wanted big fluffy curls but Mommy would only do it straight because we didn't have a curling iron. And I now I don't look like a Princess." Ki was close to tears now, "Will you help me?"

"What can I do to help?" Jungkook said concerned.

Ki looked at him with her big expressive eyes that were so much like his and pouted, "Can you curl it for me? Like you did that one time. It was so pretty. Please Uncle Koo?"

Jungkook's brother stepped in, "Ki, it's your Uncle's wedding day, he doesn't have time to curl your hair."

Jungkook smiled at Ki and said, "Actually, I do. Jump up here Ki-Ki, let's see what we can do about those curls."

Ki was the designated flower girl for the ceremony. She was wearing a delicately embroidered tea length red dress that Jimin had custom made for her by Chanel. Ki loved her dress so very much. She spun around multiple times to watch it billow below her.

She hopped up into the stylist chair and waited patiently for Uncle Koo to begin. Jungkook found the largest barrel curling iron he could and borrowed it from the stylist. He plugged it in and waited for it warm up.

"So how's school?" Jungkook asked.

"Good, got all A's. My mommy says it's because I'm smart like her," Ki said confidently.

"Your mother is very smart," Jungkook smiled politely. "She's the only Scientist that I know."

"I think I get my good looks from her too. She's beautiful. Just like a Princess." Ki said.

Jungkook's brother chimed in, "Yeah. She is pretty cute."

"I get my charm from daddy. My mom says my sass comes from him too. I don't know what sass is Uncle Koo, but if daddy has it, I want it too." Her puffy cheeks edged into a smile.

Jungkook and his parents all laughed.

"Where is my sister in law anyway?" Jungkook asked.

"She's already seated. She wanted to make sure to get a seat by the aisle so she could get good pictures." Jungkook's brother answered.

Curling iron is ready. Let's get some curls in here." Jungkook lightly bantered with Ki as he spiraled large luscious curls into her long thick black hair. It took him less than 15 minutes to place curls all over.

"Uncle Koo?" Ki asked as she eyed him carefully, "How did you get so good and doing hair?"

"Well, when we first started as a band, OT7, we didn't have all of these wonderful stylists like we do now. There were many times when I had to do my own hair and Uncle Jiminie's hair. Well, Ki-Ki, I burned Uncle Jiminie's hair a few times at that made him quite angry. So I decided to pay attention and really learn how to curl hair properly. I'm not the best, but at least I don't burn Uncle Jiminie's hair anymore," Jungkook laughed at himself.

Ki covered her mouth and giggled, "I'm so glad Uncle Jiminie's not bald now."

When jungkook was done, he gave Ki a mirror, "Do you like it?" He said sweetly.

"Ohhhh Uncle Koo! I love it! Thank you, thank you." She hugged Jungkook's waist tightly.

"Ok daddy, we can go now. Come on Grandma, let���s go and leave the boys," She giggled and escorted her grandmother out.

Derrick entered the room, "Ignore me folks, I'm not here. Just act natural." He began photographing the entire scene as if he were staging a movie.

Alex, Jimin's brother came in next. "Hey Brother in-law, just coming in to check on you. Nervous?"

"Nah, no reason to be nervous. Happy though and ready to make this official. Did you see Jimin? How is he?" Jungkook said.

"Yep. He's perfect. When I left, he and my dad were arm wrestling. My mom was already indulging in a glass of champagne for her nerves and Derrick was there capturing it all on film." Alex recounted the scene perfectly. Alex looked at Derrick, "Gee man, you're everywhere. How did you get over here so fast?"

Jungkook and Derrick let out a loud laugh.

"Jungkook, do you remember when we conspired to break up Tae and Jimin?" Alex asked.

"Do I remember? I almost lost Jimin for good because of that little stunt. Thank goodness he forgave us," Jungkook shook his head.

"Do you ever wonder why I took such a chance back then to help you sabatoge my own brother?" Alex inquired of Jungkook.

"I do wonder, actually. Why Alex?" Jungkook said

"Because I know my brother better than anyone. And I knew the first time he ever spoke your name that he was in love with you. I was willing to risk it all back then in hopes of you two making it to this moment. I am so happy for you. I am so proud to be your brother in law. And I am soo proud to be the original Jikooker." Alex smiled.

Alex hugged Jungkook. He was crying.

Jungkook spoke, "I will forever be grateful to you. In many ways. We owe this day to you. Love you man." Jungkook was now tearing up again too.

"Alright, I better get out of here and go get seated. I'll see you on the other side." Alex left and went back to the wing where Jimin's room was located.

Yeontan - Match Maker

As Alex re-entered the room, Hoseok stepped out of the changing room in his tuxedo. Kwang who had been sitting silently in the back gasped when he saw Hoseok's beauty.

"Damn Hobi, how do you get hotter every day?" Kwang said to himself.

Jimin was completely dressed. His mom approached him with tears in her eyes, "You are beautiful my boy. I can't, I can't believe we're here. Seems like just yesterday you were born. Now it's your wedding."

Jimin smiled and put his arms around her, "Don't cry Mommy. It's a very happy day."

Jimin's dad walked around the room looking for other people to challenge to an arm wrestling match. There were no takers.

"Knock knock." A soft low voice came from the hallway.

Tae jumped, "It's KJ." He ran to the door to open it. "Hi babe."

KJ's eyes widened when she saw Tae fully decked out in his tuxedo. For a second, she couldn't speak. She stood there holding Yeontan in her arms while he sniffed her chin.

"You look amazing," she stuttered.

"Thank you," Tae smiled.

KJ finally got her thoughts together and proceeded with the conversation, "he's been walked three times. There should be no more pee-pee left. Right Yeo? My little precious. I've attached his bow tie with the string, so you can tie the ring box to it. He's all yours now." KJ smiled. She was so proud of her bonding time with Yeontan.

"Ehh-emm," Jimin cleared his throat. Tae turned around and the entire Park family was staring, waiting to be introduced.

Tae quickly went through introductions. He wanted a few minutes alone with KJ so he rushed everyone through. Once everyone was satisfied, he stepped outside with KJ. "Thank you for taking care of Yeontan. You didn't have to do that."

It was my pleasure. I hope to get to spend a lot more time with him in the future," she said as she flirted with Tae. She leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips. "Well I better get to my seat. I want an aisle seat so I can see you walk down." KJ headed back into the ceremony.

Tae was holding Yeontan in his arms. They both stood there stunned.

The Ceremony – Wedding Day February 14, 2021 6:00pm KST

The guests were all seated in the massive exhibit hall. Security was tight. Each guest had to be photographed and finger scanned before entry. It was 6:00pm KST and time to begin the ceremony.

"Excuse me, I don't have time for fingerprints, can you just let me in please!" Soujin was highly irritated with all of the uptight security. She was running late. The ceremony organizer was ready to begin but Soujin was still fumbling around looking for a seat.

"Hi, can we switch, I really want to sit by the aisle," she said to an elderly lady in the 8th row.

The elderly lady responded, "Sweetie, I'm not moving. You're late. I need you to just sit your ass down someplace quickly so Jiminie and Bunny can come on down the aisle." The old lady with thick black glasses and piercing green eyes stared at Soujin until she quietly found a seat.

The Orchestral Quartet began to play on queue. Chen, Taemin's husband was the lead Violinist in the Quartet. Namjoon was the first to walk down. He smiled at each person as he strolled down the aisle pacing with the music. He took his place in the center of the alter. He was a bit nervous. Jimin and Jungkook were depending on him to deliver their perfect wedding. He was confident in knowing however that he was well trained and well practiced.

Seokjin was the next to enter. He walked down the aisle and took his place to the left of Namjoon.

Next was Hoseok. He took up position at the alter to the right of Namjoon.

Yoongi came next. He stood behind Seokjin.

Tae entered with Yeontan on a leash. Yeontan was carrying the rings in a box tied to his bow tie. The crowd "Awwed" as Yeontan walked obediently down the aisle without peeing on any of the guests. They took up position behind Hoseok.

The string Quartet stopped playing and a solo Harpist took over. She played a specially composed version of "I need you". It was a unique arrangement that had been written by Yoongi as a wedding present for Jimin and Jungkook.

As she began to play, Ki came bouncing down the aisle throwing flowers everywhere. There wasn't a single inch on the white carpet that wasn't covered in red rose pedals. Ki took her job very seriously, even going back a few steps when she thought she missed a spot. She ran up to the alter and stood next to Hoseok.

Jimin and Jungkook flipped a coin earlier in the week to decide who would enter first. Jimin lost which meant that Jungkook would walk down the aisle first. He was the next to enter.

Jungkook walked proudly with his mother and father on both sides of him. They were all smiles as they entered the ceremony with hundreds of smiling faces on them. Both of his parents kissed him once they reached the end of the aisle. His dad even shook his hand. He took his position in front of Seokjin.

Last to enter, but certainly not least, was Jimin. He too was escorted by his parents. They walked him to the edge of the alter, kissed him and left him. He took position in front of Tae.

Seokjin stepped out from the line up to address the audience and give the official Welcome.

Jungkook stared at Jimin as if he had never seen him before.

"Your hair," he whispered, "did you do that for me?" Jungkook was almost speechless.

"Everything I do is for you," Jimin whispered back. Jimin felt as if it had been weeks since he laid eyes on his beautiful "soon to be" husband. He admired him from across the aisle. He spoke again, "Are we really doing this?" He smiled lovingly at Jungkook.

Tae peeped his head around Jimin so he could see Jungkook, "There are a lot of people here. If you're not going to do this, you should probably tell them so they can go home." Tae said, falling back in line behind Jimin.

"YES, we're really doing this, emphasizing the "YES" for Tae's sake.

Jimin began to giggle. He looked at Jungkook again more lovingly than the last time and asked, "Can I trust you with my heart Jeon Jungkook?"

"It depends. Can I trust you not to get us blackmailed and shot?" Jungkook smiled devilishly.

Tae interjected, "That's a valid question." He said to Jimin as he peeped around him again to look at Jungkook.

Jimin roared with laughter.

Seokjin was afronted by their loud interruption of his welcome speech. He turned to them and said, "Hey, keep it down, you're interrupting my dad jokes." The audience laughed.

Seokjin completed his welcome and invited Namjoon to start the ceremony.

"Thank you all for coming to this very special event. I am Kim Namjoon and I will be officiating this beautiful wedding today. Namjoon began by reading a poem from one of Jimins favorite authors. He moved on to talk specifically about the love of Jimin and Jungkook. He then explained to the audience that Jimin and Jungkook would officially recieve a very rare certificate of partnership which acknowledged their marriage in Korea. He also explained what it was and why it was so special.

The time had come for the exchange of vows. Namjoon looked at each of them and said, "Now, I believe that each of you have prepared vows that you would like to say to each other?"

Jungkook, please state your vows."

Jungkook looked into Jimin's eyes and spoke loudly and proudly,

"If we've learned anything from this past year, it's not to take anything for granted. Love, life, fame, wealth and health can all be fleeting. When I sat down to write my vows, I realized that there was nothing that I needed to say that I hadn't already told you. Everything that lies within my heart has already been placed at your feet. Our love is complete. All that's left to say now is – Together Baam."

Jungkook winked and clicked his tongue. Then he gave Jimin a high five. Jimin roared with laughter. The crowd laughed along with Jimin.

Namjoon was smiling. He turned to Jimin and asked, "Jimin do you have vows that you have prepared for Jungkook?"

Jimin took his piece of paper that contained his vows and tore it up and threw it into the air. He stared into Jungkook's eyes and repeated the words, "Together Baam." Both he and Jungkook laughed again, this time with a few tears in their eyes.

Namjoon turned to Tae, the rings please. Yeontan was now sitting in KJ's lap. She was feeding him gourmet puppy treats that Tae didn't even realize she had. He called Yeontan over and detached to box from his bowtie. Yeontan immediately went back to KJ and resumed eating snacks and licking her chin.

Tae removed both rings from the box and gave them to Namjoon. Namjoon looked at Jimin and gave him Jungkook's ring first.

Namjoon began, "Park Jimin, do you take Jean Jungkook to be your lawful wedded husband, through sickness and health, for richer or poorer, through success or failure, til death do you part?"

"I do," said Jimin smiling at Jungkook.

Namjoon turned to Jungkook and gave him Jimin's ring.

He began to speak again, "Jeon Jungkook, do you take Park Jimin to be your lawful wedded husband, through sickness and health, for richer or poorer, through success or failure, til death do you part?"

"I do," said Jungkook crying as he looked at Jimin.

"You may place your rings." Namjoon gave them permission to place their rings on each other's fingers. Both of them searched through misty eyes for the others' hand. They slipped on their rings and then looked back and Namjoon.

"Alright, so by the power vested in me by the city of Seoul, I now pronounce you Husbands. You may salute each other." Namjoon grinned at both of them.

Ki made a "smoooochhhhhhhh" noise as the two of them kissed innocently in front of their audience of adoring family and friends.

The exhibit hall burst into thunderous applause and whistles. The Harpest and the Quartet began to play as Jimin and Jungkook turned to the audience bowed and then ran back down the aisle holding hands.

While Jimin and Jungkook took a few more pictures, the crowd made thier way over to the Four Season's hotel. The concierge was prepared. He had about fifteen people on staff to assist all of the guests. He directed each party to the enclosed rooftop where Steve Aoki was set up as the guest DJ. Since Aoki also attended the wedding, his assitant was there to start the music and warm up the crowd.

Everyone milled around socializing and eating appetizers while they waited for the new couple to make their entrance.

Jimin and Jungkook arrived. Aoki got on the microphone and introduced the new couple. The crowd went crazy as they ran into the room holding hands and dancing to Hoseok's "Just Dance" playing in the background. They ran to the middle of the dance floor and bowed to everyone. The thunderous applause continued from their friends and family. The evening kicked off with the two of them having their first dance to 'Ocean Eyes'.

Everyone was seated for dinner. Namjoon, Tae, Yoongi, Seokjin, Hoseok, Jungkook's father, Jimin's Father, Both brothers and Ki all made speeches. The champagne and alcohol flowed freely. After a rather conservative and light-hearted dinner, it was time for Aoki to burn up the dance floor. The crowd went crazy as Aoki started to perform.

Kwang who had spent most of the evening alone, wandered up to the bar to get a drink.

"Having a good time?" Hoseok pulled up a seat next to Kwang and ordered a drink as well.

"Jimin and Jungkook say you put this entire thing together. Impressive. It was beautiful," Kwang complimented Hoseok.

"Remember when your sister got married and like 100 people showed up who weren't invited and we ran out of food and couldn't feed everyone?" Hoseok laughed.

"Yep, that was a nightmare. I learned a lot from that mess. Never post your wedding plans on social media," Kwang laughed.

"Oh no, is that what she did?" Hoseok covered his mouth in surprise.

"Yes, she's an idiot. But at least the marriage lasted. I have a nephew now because of it. He's an idiot like his mom. But I love him," Kwang teased. Hobi hit Kwang in the arm. He was laughing at Kwang's descrition of his loving family.

Kwang and Hoseok sat at the bar for about an hour. They drank heavy liquor and exchanged stories about their battle scars. Kwang talked about his military operatins and Hoseok talked about his hectic touring schedule. There was a good vibe between them and the conversation was surprisingly easy without any awkwardness.

Kwang touched Hoseok's arm and gently rubbed it.

"Want to go for a walk? It's too cold outside but we can walk around the museum. Maybe we can talk where it's a little quieter." Kwang reached out for Hoseok's hand.

"I'd love that. Let's go." Hoseok jumped off the bar stool, took Kwang's hand and followed him out of the exhibit hall into the main Museum entrance.

Taemin and Jerk-Kook – Wedding Day

As everyone started to dance, Jimin and Jungkook walked around the room to greet their guests individually. The new husbands were gracious and loving to everyone who attended. They were amazed at how many people joined them to celebrate their day. Many people from the industry were there and after tonight, Jimin and Jungkook's relationship was not going to be much of a secret.

Jimin and Jungkook held hands as they walked around. Jimin saw Taemin and dropped Jungkook's hand immediately running to him. He grabbed Tae and Chen simultaneously, pulling them into a hug.

"Chen, you were fabulous. I never knew you played like THAT!"

"Jimin you look wonderful, you're simply glowing. And thank you, I've been a violinist since I was three. I am quite good if I do say so myself."

"He's being modest. He is listed as the top violinist in Korea. Trust me, that's a big deal," Taemin said as he quickly kissed Chen.

Jimin spoke again, "I am so happy that you two could make it. Thank you so much for being here." Jimin held both of their hands.

Jungkook took a deep breath and walked forward. Taemin struck first.

"Well hello Jerk-kook. You FINALLY got your shit together and locked him down." Taemin smirked at Jungkook.

Jimin and Chen both hit Taemin lightly on the arm to stop him from irritating Jungkook.

Jungkook spoke softly to himself, "Don't let him bother you JK, relax, 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1"

Jungkook smiled genuinely and hugged Chen, completely ignoring Taemin, "Chen, you were wonderful. I am so happy that you could be here. And you look fabulous. It must be nice to travel a lot so that you don't have to be home with this asshole all of the time." Jungkook said while smiling.

"Jungkook-ah," Jimin now was hitting Jungkook on the shoulder to make him behave.

"You're such a dick, Jerk-kook," Taemin insulted Jungkook.

Jungkook looked at him and with a biting edge to his voice, said, "I'm Jimin's dick now." Jungkook knew that would get under Taemin's skin. Jungkook felt as if Taemin never wanted him to be with Jimin and even now, even though he was happily married, he was still seething with jealousy.

"OK, that's enough," Chen said as he quickly pulled Taemin in the other direction to separate him from Jungkook.

Jimin followed suit and did the same with Jungkook. Although he thought Jungkook's last stab at Taemin was hiliarious. Jimin was laughing quite loudly as he and Jungkook transitioned to the next guest.

Soujin and Nurse Killjoy – Wedding Day

"Ahh Nurse Killjoy, I mean Nurse Shue, how very nice to see you," Jimin said as he kissed her lightly on the cheek.

Nurse Shue, the nurse from the ICU at the hospital was the Nurse who treated Jimin and Jungkook after their gunshot. They had become good friends with her since their stay in the hospital and they were delighted that she agreed to attend their wedding.

"You two look GREAT. I guess you're keeping up with your PT?" Nurse Shue said. "Yes Ma'am we are," Jimin said politely as he bowed.

Nurse Shue looked at Jungkook for verification of Jimin's story.

"Jungkook, Jimin is skilled at being evasive. But I know you'll tell me the full truth. Have you two been keeping up with your therapy?" She drilled Jungkook.

"Yes. It was tough at first and Jimin did aggravate his injury, but after that, he got better and started listening to our Doctor. He's good. We're good. I promise." Jungkook smiled at Jimin.

"Skilled at being evasive!" Jimin repeated Nurse Shue's description of him and feigned outrage.

Soujin was sitting next to Nurse Shue. They were co-workers and good friends.

"Well you are," Soujin said. She had been silent for the entire time Jimin and Jungkook had been at her table. Speaking for the first time, she looked at Jimin, "It's hard sometimes to tell exactly what you're thinking because your thoughts don't always match your words," She stared at Jimin while speaking. Jimin gave her a hug and rubbed her cheek softly.

"Come here Kookles. She hugged Jungkook tightly, closing her eyes as she did so. I can't believe this. I am so proud of you. I am so happy for you,"

Soujin was still not quite herself since Jackson's death, but she was definitely on the right track to normal. Her hair was dyed completely white. She wore a short black dress, that may or may not have been wedding appropriate and six-inch heels to show off her long legs.

Every straight man in the room noticed her. "Ok, now that we've got that out of the way, point out the "up and coming" new K-pop stars, I want to get a head start on seducing them," She smiled at Jungkook.

Jimin and Jungkook moved on to the next guests, Yoongi and and his District Attorny girlfriend, Huwana. She immediately jumped up when she saw them heading towards her.

"Ohhh my two felons, look at you! I am so happy for you. You two look amazing, and the wedding was just – " Huwana started to cry.

"Huwana, thank you. We're glad you could make it. Don't cry. And thank you for keeping us out of jail so we could be here to actually have a wedding," Jungkook laughed as he hugged Huwana.

Yoongi looked on with great pride. Jimin couldn't help but notice though that Yoongi was also staring at Huwana's butt. Jimin jumped on Yoongi and gave him a hug around his neck, "Love you Yoongs," Jimin said.

The music stopped and Tae stepped on to the dance floor with the Microphone.

"Jimin and Jungkook where are you?" Tae said. They both raised their hands from the back of the room. "Yoongi's mom says it's time to cut the cake." Tae said innocently over the microphone.

Jungkook yelled, "CAKE!" and everyone began to laugh. They held hands as they walked over to the cake table. Yoongi's mother did a spectacular job recreating the cake that Jimin and Jungkook originally ordered. It was as beautiful as the cake in the concept photos that Hoseok showed them.

Derrick huddled around them to capture the pictures. The caterer stepped forward to cut the cake but Jungkook shooed her away. Instead he used his hand to scoop out a big chunk of cake to feed to Jimin. He looked at Jimin with his face full of excitement and gestured his cake covered hand towards Jimin's face. Jimin recoiled from Jungkook's hand, hoping to avoid frosting all over his face,

"Sweetie, can't we just use chopsticks?" Jimin said as he kept bobbing and weaving to avoid Jungkook's cake hand.

"NO!" Jungkook pouted, "This is how they do it in the movies."

"What movies have YOU been watching?" Jimin quipped.

Jungkook looked at Jimin with big puppy dog eyes. Jimin stopped his protest immediately. That look could tame 1000 lions. He knew this meant a lot to Jungkook.

"Ok, Jungkookie, alright," Jimin said. He took a deep breath and plunged his hand in the cake scooping out a big chunk into his small little hand.

Derrick who was circling them, capturing every shot, was dying of laughter.

Jungkook smiled and giggled gleefully as they intertwined arms and fed each other gently.

"Don't smear my foundation, it took forever to get it even," Jimin warned.

Tae looked on in confusion. He leaned over to KJ and Namjoon and said, "You don't suppose that's how they're going to give us all cake do you? Because I really want cake, but I'll pass if that's how they cut it," Tae was quite serious when he asked this question.

KJ had a look of confusion on her face as well, "Oh wow, I never thought of that. That would be horrible. I don't want cake like that either." She and Tae exchanged a look of panic.

Namjoon glared at both of them. He crinkled his brow and said, "No-no, this is just for the cake they feed each other. Our cake will be cut with a knife. You two are a good match you know that?" Namjoon laughed.

Tae and KJ looked relieved.

Jimin and Jungkook ate cake out of each other's hands while the crowd applauded. The caterer stepped forward and began cutting cake for the rest of the guests…with a knife.

A Little Revenge – Wedding Day

Kwang picked up Hoseok and pinned him against the wall in the restroom. Even though it had been over ten years, Hoseok assumed the familiar position as if he had just done it yesterday. Kwang kissed him passionately, while groping at every part of Hoseok's body. Hoseok was careful not to grind against Kwang. He was so completely turned on that even the slightest bit of movement would have him slipping into orgasm. Hoseok held on remaining as rigid as possible while Kwang devoured him. The feeling was so good. He could feel himself slipping. He asked Kwang to stop, he thought he asked Kwang to stop, but what he actually asked Kwang was to, "Make me cum."

Kwang responded by kissing Hoseok's neck and whispering, "Maybe this isn't the best place." They both knew they needed to stop. They both desperately wanted to stop, but they couldn't stop. Kwang continued to grind into Hoseok on the wall, kissing him ravenously the entire time.

Jimin and Jungkook walked into the restroom to wash the cake from their hands. They both froze when they saw what was happening in front of them. Hoseok and Kwang going at in a PUBLIC RESTROOM.

Jungkook stood with his mouth open. Jimin grabbed him quietly and pulled him out of the restroom into the corridor.

"What the fuck is that?" Jimin said.

"I guess our little 'push' worked huh?" Jungkook said, laughing so hard he was leaning sideways. "I guess we should find another place to wash our hands?" Jungkook held out both of his hands and looked at the frosting all of over them.

"Fuck That!" Jimin exclaimed. "After all of the grief he's given us over the last few weeks? And now he has the nerve to be dry fucking with Mr. Sexy in a public restroom! We're definitely breaking up this party. Plus, I really, really need to wash my hands." Jimin was grossed out by all of the frosting everywhere.

"I love it. You ready?" Jungkook said.

Jimin nodded. They both walked into the bathroom with their hands behind their backs.

"Ehh-Emm," Jimin interrupted.

"Kwang and Hoseok both jumped. Kwang immediately lowered Hoseok to the ground. He turned slightly away from Jimin and Jungkook to hide his erection.

"Our wedding is a fuck free zone," they both stated in unison. Jimin laughed so hard that he grabbed the wall, leaving frosting all over it.

Jungkook continued to stare at the two of them and began shaking his head, "That was gross and unneccesary."

Jimin laughed even harder. Now he had both hands against the wall and frosting was everywhere. He couldn't believe that Jungkook remembered that one.

Jimin wasn't done, he threw in one more, "This is disguisting. You know you two should warn people when you're doing this shit."

He and Jungkook gave each other a frosting filled high five. Jimin could barely stand straight he was laughing so hard. Jungkook was leaned over as well. They were truly enjoying this moment.

Kwang, straightened up and excused himself, "Uh, I - I will meet you back on the dance floor." He bowed his head and left looking extremely embarrassed.

"Ha-ha you two, very funny," Hoseok snarled. Hoseok was worked up. His lips were puffy from kissing and his junk was swollen to twice it's normal size. His bow tie was askew and his face was red. He could feel the heat behind his cheeks as the embarrassment crept across his face.

Jimin and Jungkook walked up to him on either side, careful to hold there hands far away to avoid getting frosting on his very expensive suit. They each kissed him on the cheek. Jungkook kissed the right cheek and Jimin kissed the left. "We hope it works out this time. You deserve all of the happiness in the world," Jimin said.

Hoseok, smiled uncomfortably, turned a deeper shade of red and headed back to the reception.

Please Mom, No – Wedding Day

Jimin and Jungkook returned to the reception hall after thoroughly washing the frosting from their hands. Hoseok and Kwang had returned to the bar to continue talking as if nothing ever happened.

The party was in full swing and Aoki was now playing a few OT7 classics to get the dance floor pumping. Jimin grabbed a glass of champagne and walked over to speak to one of the guests that he had yet to greet.

Jungkook remained behind because his mother was approaching and needed to speak with him.

"I met Aoki," she gushed as soon as she got within ear shot of Jungkook.

"That great Mom. He's a good guy. You're married though. So let's just leave that right there." Jungkook teased his adorable mother.

"I made a request," his mom said as she lifted her left eye brow Kookie style and stared at her son.

"Mom, mom, what request did you make?" Jungkook suddenly became very worried.

" Honey, I told you I learned all the moves to Mic Drop." She was shaking her hips just slightly in anticipation of her big moment.

And like a scene from a horror movie, Jungkook heard the uniquely distinguishable intro to Aoki's Mic Drop remix begin to play.

"No-no, mom don't please. Mom, not here." Jungkook's eyes bulged and he pleaded after his mother.

She kicked off her heels and hussled to the dance floor and began her routine at Hoseok's part. She wasn't kidding, she honestly knew - Every. Single. Move.

Jimin was a couple feet away talking to a group of back ground dancers. He watched as Jungkook's mom rushed to the dance floor. He was flabbergasted. He paused to blink a few times to make sure his eyes weren't deceiving him. He was so excited he could hardly breathe. He dropped his champagne glass on the table and ran full speed over to Jungkook's mom and fell completely in lock-step with her dance choreography.

"Somebody stop – muh-eee, I'm bout to pop off…" Jimin led the 'pop off' and Jungkook's mom followed, she was now dancing Jungkook's part.

Jungkook beat his fists against his foreheard. Everyone had cleared the dance floor and now it was just his mother and his husand on center stage. He didn't know whether to laugh or DIE.

��Oh My God, this is a thing?" Tae yelled as he saw Jimin and Jungkook's mom dancing on the dance floor. He ran over as quickly as he could and picked up the dance too.

Aoki loved what he was seeing. He got so hype that he started yelling into the microphone and jumping with the music. He trained a spotlight on the three of them. Tae and Jimin backed up Jungkook's mom as she took front and center.

Jungkook was utterly defeated. All he could hope for now, was that Aoki didn't play the extended remix. The thought must have traveled from Jungkook's brain to Aoki fingers, because he immediately hit the button and played the extended remix. Junkook's mom knew all the moves to that too. Jungkook hung his head.

Jungkook's dad sat tapping his foot to the beat while he sipped on his scotch. He leaned over to Jimin's dad and whispered, "She's been practicing for months."

Jimin's dad smiled politely and then leaned over to Jimin's mom and said, "Is this what we married into?" Jimin's mom, clapped profusely and she watched her friend on the dance floor.

"Well darling, Jungkook had to get the talent from somewhere." She grinned and waived at Jungkook's mom.

Yoongi looked up from his conversation with Huwana, Seokjin and Namjoon, "Am I drunk or is that Jungkook's mom dancing to Mic Drop?" Yoongi said.

Huwana answered him, "Yes, to both." She smiled and smacked Yoongi hard on the cheek with her lips.

Jungkook's mom, Jimin and Tae threw the party into overdrive with their dancing. The entire reception hall, young and old were on the floor partying the night away. Jimin and Jungkook were dancing together seductively as the EDM pumped loudly through the rooftop of the Four Seasons.

The Grand Exit - Wedding Day

The party lasted until 4:00am KST. Things settled down when a helicopter suddenly landed on the Helipad a few hundred feet away from the enclosed rooftop.

Jimin looked suspiciously at Jungkook, "This is you isn't it?

Jungkook tried to look innocent, "I have no idea what you're talking about. Helicopters are COOL though aren't they?"

Despite his insistence to the contrary, Jimin knew Jungkook was behind this. On queue, Tae and the hotel staff began handing out lit sparklers to all of the guests. The sparklers glowed beautifully in the dark and created a brilliant light. The hotel staff lined the guests up one by one along a path that led from the enclosed rooftop straight to the helicopter pad. The final effect was a lit aisle that Jimin and Jungkook would walk through to make their escape.

Jungkook looked at Jimin and said, "Bundle up baby, we're going for a ride." Jimin screamed with excitement. He jumped up and down and hurdled onto Jungkooks back. Tae bought each of them thick coats, gloves, scarves and beenies. They bundled up. Tae passed Jimin the microphone. Jimin faced that aisle of guests and began to speak to them from his heart.

"On behalf of myself and my HUSBAND, I just want to thank all of you for your love and support. I especially want to thank our parents, our families and our OT7 brothers. Without you, none of this would be possible. We are standing here as trailblazers because of the strength and courage you have given us. When we were too weak or to blind to see our own paths, you list a trail for us. And you continue to light the trail to our future. There is no us, without you. We love you. We love you."

Both Jimin and Jungkook raised their hands and waived goodbye. They walked slowly down the lit path hugging and kissing everyone as they made their way to the helicopter.

At some point Seokjin got a little irritated and yelled, "Hey, walk faster, this damn sparkler is burning my hand."

Jimin and Jungkook held hands and ran the remaining distance to the open doors of the helicopter. The rushed in through the cold. As the helictoper lifted, they continued to waive goodbye to thier family and friends on the ground.

Hoseok smiled at them the entire way. The other members all gathered around him. Yoongi was the only one not afraid to say it. He exhaled, "They're going to fuck each other to death arent' they?"

"Yes," Said Hoseok

"Yep," Said Namjoon

"Uh-huh," Said Seokjin

"That's the plan," Said Tae
