Newlyweds

AN: Another chapter, another song to listen to. Please have a listen to the song that will be featured in this chapter.

_________

"Woah… You're here early. Did you wait long?" I told Dahyun as soon as I saw her inside the airport.

The week since Dahyun's birthday passed by quickly. It was because of how busy we became after that. Good thing we were able to relax that night and enjoy it because the days after that were pure hell. We had plenty of meetings for the stage design and wardrobe style. Practices for the concert were also there. Since we were revisiting some of our old songs, it was totally exhausting on our part. The concert was just a few weeks away and we were so pressured by all the events that were happening. It was also the same for Twice and not just for Alpha. Because of that, we weren't able to see our girlfriends for a week. We were also too exhausted to meet up since we started our days early and ended it at 2AM in the morning.

There was still a lot to think about especially for our upcoming TV appearance for Idol Room. Since our concerts were coming up, JYP Entertainment booked us a slot in the show to promote our concert. It was going to tire us out for sure considering our schedules but there was a positive side to this and it was because we were going to be on the show with Twice. That's what the rest of us were looking forward to. But today, I'm going to forget about work for a couple of days. Why? Because Dahyun and I would be heading to Hong Kong for our wedding day! Hong Kong was just one of the many destinations that Dahyun wanted to go to. The rest were European countries. But since our schedule was tight, I decided to go to Hong Kong instead since it was nearer.

"I couldn't sleep. I was too excited for the wedding that I didn't get to sleep." She replied as she gave me a peck on the cheek.

My eyes widened in surprise. We never had any skinship like this in front of a camera before. Well aside from the forced kissing scene in our photoshoot, this was the first time we did it on camera. Since we got closer outside the show, we forgot that we're filming today. She must have noticed my reaction as her eyes widened in realization. "I'm sorry. I must still be sleepy."

I gave her a peck on the cheek too as I took her luggage from her and started walking. "Don't apologize for it. We'll get married soon anyway. Then you get to kiss me whenever you want."

She blushed a little after I said that before running after me. "Ya! Oppa! Wait for me!"

We soon arrived at the baggage counter and had our luggage checked in. She was so excited that she kept asking me stuff about Hong Kong. It was nice to see her acting like a little kid again in front of me. When we're alone, we actually tease each other a lot. She's also very competitive for her own good which didn't help us at times. Still, today was just going to be about us.

Not long after that, we made our way to the gate where our plane was. It was difficult to do so since every once in a while, a fan would recognize us. Sure there were bodyguards from the show, but Twice and Alpha's popularity was at its peak right now. So it was practically normal for people to recognize us. Good thing I got us into business class. There wouldn't be anyone that would dare bother us there. It was supposed to be in first class but Dahyun wanted it changed to business class since she thinks I'm spending so much money on a two-hour flight.

"Want anything to eat?" I turned to Dahyun who was trying to fix her cardigan. She wasn't listening so I helped her with her cardigan.

"Hmm? You don't have to." She responded as she tried to block my hands.

I chuckled. "Well, you weren't listening."

"What? Did you say something? I'm sorry. I'm feeling a little groggy." She admitted as she rubbed her eyes.

After seeing that she was tired, I turned my attention back to the stewardess. "Can we have some blankets please? Also, can I ask for some chamomile tea as well?"

The stewardess smiled before bowing. "Right away, sir. Will that be all?"

"That's all for now." I smiled at her in return.

As soon as I turned to Dahyun, she was glaring at me. I slowly leaned backward. "What? What did I do?"

"Did you seriously flirt with the stewardess in front of your wife?" She continued glaring.

I laughed as I rolled my eyes. "Yeah right. As if I can ever cheat on you. They better do their best to beat you."

"You mean that?" She asked as her glare softened.

Her hands were shaking from the cold air condition. I took it and smiled at her. "Why would I even lie to you when I love you?"

"Did you just admit that you love me?" Her eyes widened in surprise.

I rolled my eyes. "I've been telling you that from that start."

She chuckled. "Yeah. Through songs. Not with words."

I raised a brow. "Really? I thought my actions were really clear."

Dahyun leaned onto my shoulder. "I'm just glad that you do."

"Get some rest. I'll wake you up once your drink arrives." I told her which she nodded in response. Seconds later, she dozed off. She must have been really tired to pass out just like that. The crew for the show continued to film us throughout the rest of the flight.

We finally arrived in Hong Kong two hours later and we were getting our bags from the baggage claim section. I turned to Dahyun who seemed so energized after her two hour sleep."Someone's recharged."

She smiled at me as she clung onto my arm. "My fiance made me sleep the entire time after all. Thank you. Were you bored while I was asleep?"

"Not really. I was working on some company matters." I told her.

Dahyun nodded as she turned to have a look around. "It's different to be here instead of passing through the VIP section of the airport."

I chuckled at how curious and excited she looked. "Save your energy. We have our wedding this afternoon, you know?"

"Are you that excited too?" She teased as she run her finger on my arm.

I had goosebumps as she did that which made me squirm a little. It made her laugh though which made me smile. "Our bags are here. Let's head out."

As I started pushing our luggage, Dahyun was looking in one direction. I turned to where she was looking at and saw a couple of girls who were staring at us and were whispering. There were five of them who were talking among themselves as they kept stealing glances at us. A few seconds later, the girls started approaching us and I grabbed Dahyun's arm and hid her behind me. The bodyguards also started approaching and were already visible from our camera.

One of the girls tried talking in broken English. "You… You is… JayB? Alpha?"

I realized that they seemed to have recognized me so I spoke in Mandarin to communicate with them. "Yes, I'm JayB from Alpha. Can I help you with something?"

"You can speak Mandarin?! Oh right! I forgot that you can speak multiple languages." Another girl yelled out of surprise.

One of the other girls started approaching me and showed a copy of our recent album. "We know you're busy. But if it's not too much to ask, may we ask for your autograph?"

I sighed in relief and turned to Dahyun to explain the situation before turning to them again. "Sure thing. What are your names?"

They started telling me their names while I signed her copy of our album while I stole glances at Dahyun to make sure she was doing alright. Dahyun was very supportive as she kept giving me a smile with her thumbs up. It showed that this wasn't bothering her at all and that she was proud of me.

Suddenly, the girl who tried to communicate with me in English spoke again. "JayB-oppa, what are you doing here in Hong Kong?"

I smiled at them as I took Dahyun's hand and slowly pulled her towards me to introduce her. "Are you familiar with Kim Dahyun from Twice?"

Dahyun bowed and introduced herself in perfect Mandarin. "Hi. I'm Kim Dahyun from Twice. It's nice to meet you all."

The girls were all surprised. I wasn't though. It was standard to know how to introduce yourself in different languages in this industry after all. I smiled at how my wife was spooking my fans out. "Waah… You're really pretty in real life."

I translated for Dahyun before she thanked them. She was starting to turn red from the embarrassment. But I seemed to notice that one of the girls who hasn't spoken even once was glaring at her. Her friend then asked. "Why are you guys here together?"

"We're getting married this afternoon." I told them with a proud smile.

The girls were surprised as they all yelled in unison. The girl who was glaring at Dahyun was staring more intensely at her right now. I decided to cut this conversation short because I was afraid that she might do something to Dahyun.

"We got to go. It was nice meeting you guys." I smiled at them.

The girl who calls herself Xu Yin waved at us happily. "Thank you for being so kind to us! We hope you have a wonderful marriage!"

We made our way out of the airport with the help of the security personnel and with our bodyguards. The next thing we knew, we were heading towards our hotel. We took a cab going there and our trip was smooth so far since I was doing all the communicating, and I could tell that Dahyun was really eyeing me proudly every time I would speak in Mandarin.

"You're really cool, you know?" She whispered to me.

I gave her a nudge with my shoulder. "No biggie. I'm glad that I get to show you this side of me."

She giggled. "It makes me want to learn English fluently now and maybe another language at that."

I got my phone out since I forgot to turn it on. "You SHOULD learn English at least. How would you communicate with my parents if you can't speak in English?"

She snapped her head towards me. "Isn't your last name 'Kim'? Can't they understand Korean?"

I chuckled as I pinched her cheek. "Of course they can. But it would be great if you could communicate with them in English too since my mom is more comfortable with that since she's not Korean."

Her jaw fell wide open. "Really? Then…"

"She's half Filipino and half Japanese. She was raised in America so that's how my parents met." I explained.

Dahyun's mouth formed a large 'O' as she slowly nodded. "I see. You have a lot of different races in you."

Her words made me laugh. "Are you calling me a mix-breed?"

She rolled her eyes. "You KNOW that's not what I meant."

"Whatever. Just be prepared when you meet my parents." I chuckled.

"L-Look at you. We're not even married yet and you're asking me to meet your family." Dahyun stuttered as she panicked at the thought of meeting my parents.

"In return, let me meet your parents too." I told her.

She tried to speak but no words came out. Just then, the driver stopped in front of a large building. "We're here, sir."

Dahyun's eyes widened as she stared out of the window and saw how big the hotel that we were staying at was. The hotel is called Auberge Discovery Bay which was owned by a friend of my father's. I had to call in a favor for this to be possible. Not only did he allow me to use their chapel, the owner also gave me a 3 day 2 night stay in their hotel for free. That's how they wanted to impress my father. Funny how businessmen work. Still, I was grateful.

"Are you sure we're in the right place? This looks really big for a hotel." Dahyun's mouth was still wide open from the shock she got after seeing the place.

"It's a five-star hotel. It really lives up to its name." I chuckled as I observed her reaction.

She was still staring at how huge the place was. "But still… this is too much."

I took her luggage and started leading her towards the reception. "Let's just enjoy our stay here. Why don't we check in first before changing our clothes for the wedding?"

She nodded in agreement. "Sounds great."

"Cut! That's it for now!" Director Youra yelled which signalled the end of filming. The crew started packing up before she started approaching us. "We'll handle the check-in procedures. It's still 11AM. You can take an early lunch today. Your wedding is still at 4PM this afternoon, but we'll have you do your hair and make-up for the wedding at 2PM. We'll meet you at the reception booth by then. So until then, you're both free but don't go out of the hotel's perimeter."

"Thanks, Youra-noona." I replied to her with a smile.

After she left, Dahyun turned to me with an excited face. "So what do you want to do first? There's still a lot of time to spare."

It was obvious that she was excited. The little kid inside of Dahyun was really evident. I couldn't help but just gaze at her lovingly. She took a strand of her hair and covered her face. "Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"You're really beautiful. I can't believe we're getting married today." I said as I intertwined my hand with hers.

She rolled her eyes. Dahyun was probably immune to the sweet words that I said to her. But her blushing face said otherwise. "It's virtual though."

I chuckled as I leaned closer to her face which made her lean back a little out of embarrassment. "Why don't we do it for real then?"

Dahyun playfully slapped my shoulder before she started walking away from me with her face all red.. "Ya… Let's just enjoy today. Okay? Now where's the hotel's dining area? I'm starving!"

"Uhh… Dahyun-ie…" I called out to her.

She hummed as she turned to face me. "What is it?"

"The restaurant's this way." I pointed with my thumb as I gave her a wry smile.

_________

"What are you having? Not eating properly again?" I asked Dahyun who was scanning through the restaurant's menu.

Lunch was definitely something we were both looking forward to. She didn't have anything on the plane since she was passed out the entire flight. I, on the other hand, just had bread since I didn't feel like eating on my own on the plane while my girlfriend would probably be hungry the moment she would wake up. I just wanted to fill my empty stomach while I was on the plane and so I did. That's why I was looking forward to lunch.

"Are you kidding me? I'm starving! I'll have the ribeye steak and a plate of pesto pasta please?" She glared at me playfully while telling me her order.

I laughed at how funny she looked before turning to the waiter who was taking our order. After giving him our order, I turned towards her. "Do you want dessert?"

She shook her head. "I'll pass on the dessert. I heard that we'll be dining in a famous restaurant tonight."

"That's true. I guess we're not having dessert then." I smiled at her before finalizing our orders with the waiter.

"What do you want to do after?" Dahyun asked.

I pondered for a while. "I was thinking of sightseeing around the hotel since we're not allowed to leave yet. We're not even allowed to go near the chapel too."

Dahyun leaned on her chair while sighing. "I didn't know that. That means we'll be bored to death after lunch."

"Why don't we go sightseeing together? After we walk for about an hour, maybe you can still catch up on some sleep." I suggested.

She folded her arms as she raised her brow. "Are you planning on doing something else while I sleep?"

I fiddled with the utensils to check its quality while I nodded in agreement. "That's right. I'm planning to do something while you're resting."

Dahyun scoffed as she rolled her tongue inside her cheek. "I knew it! What were you planning on doing?"

I put the utensil down and leaned forward while giving her a smile. "I'm planning on watching over you and making sure that you sleep well until it's time for you to wake up."

Her jaw dropped as soon as she heard that while her face slowly turned red. "I-I'm serious. W-What were you planning on doing?"

"I wasn't kidding. I have to make sure that you're safe while you sleep. You'll be sleeping in the dressing room while we wait so we don't know who might come." I crossed my arms while smirking at her.

She sighed. "You have a way with your words, loverboy."

We continued chatting like that until our food arrived. It was truly a fun way to spend lunch since Dahyun kept asking me to teach her some important words in Chinese. I kept telling her that it didn't matter because I was with her anyway and I could just translate it for her, but she was eager to learn the language since it would be beneficial to the group. It was cute that she was trying so hard. After a while, I reminded her that Tzuyu was in the group, and when it comes to Japanese, they had Sana, Mina and Momo. It would be better if she spoke fluent English. In the end, I was able to convince her to study English, and that I was willing to be her tutor.

Lunch was over and we did as we planned which was to take a short tour around the hotel. It was really enormous and it took us a while but still, it was really nice since I get to spend time with Dahyun. Soon, we were able to make our way towards her dressing room. Director Youra was staying there. She reminded us that we would be preparing in separate dressing rooms to surprise each other. We still had enough time before we would start preparing for the wedding, so we slept on the dressing room's couch.

_________

"I just wish our members were here you know?" Dahyun sighed over the phone.

We were now in our separate dressing rooms and were preparing for the wedding. There were only 30 minutes left before the wedding would start. Since we couldn't see each other, Dahyun decided to call me to check up on me. She was telling me about how much she wanted her members to be here and witness this. The reason that they couldn't come was because of the busyness of the preparations for the upcoming concerts. We were already fortunate enough to convince JYP PD-nim to allow this wedding to happen.

The camera was rolling as we were both preparing for the wedding. It was like a behind the scenes shot but still, a couple of microphones were hooked up so that they would hear our conversation better. After all, they didn't want to miss anything, especially on this big day.

"Yeah, I know. I feel the same way. But it's not possible. You know how hard it was to convince PD-nim to have this wedding? He almost got me fired." I joked.

She scoffed and I could imagine her rolling her eyes. "Yeah, right. Like THAT's going to happen. You're his favorite artist. He won't get rid of you. Not in a million years."

"You're exaggerating. I'm not his favorite artist. He cares for us equally." I rebutted.

She giggled. "I'm willing to bet our relationship that he still favors you over all the artists in the company combined."

"Ya! Kim Dahyun! Don't bet our relationship that easily!" I click my tongue.

She laughed. "So you ARE admitting that you're his favorite artist."

Suddenly, a familiar set of faces entered my dressing room. I smiled before I continued speaking with Dahyun over the phone. "Listen, I've got to go. I need to finish my make-up."

"Oh. Okay. Sure thing. And JayB-oppa?" She called out.

I hummed. "Hmm? What's up?"

"I can't wait to get married." Dahyun sounded as if it was almost a whisper.

It caught me off-guard which made me smile even brighter now. "Me too."

We both hung up but I was still pretty much caught up with what she said. The people who entered my dressing room saw how I was smiling like an idiot and began teasing me. I couldn't help but ignore them since Dahyun's words still gave me the butterflies in my stomach.

Dominic then started teasing further as he waved in front of my face. "Earth to Kim Jinbo. Hello! Are you there?"

Jiwoo approached me and leaned his face close to mine. "JayB-hyung is long gone. I think he's on cloud nine."

I snapped out of it as soon as Jeong Do shook me. "Sorry. I was just… Anyway, I'm glad that you guys could make it. Where are your girlfriends?"

Yo Chul-hyung chuckled. "I just got a text from Jeongyeon-ie. They just surprised her."

"That's good. Did Dahyun-ie look happy?" I asked.

Yo Chul-hyung laughed. "She got scolded by her make-up artist for crying her eyes out."

"It sounds like she's happy." I laughed.

Zhang patted my shoulder. "Thanks for inviting us here, hyung."

"No problem. I'm just glad that you guys were able to make it." I patted his shoulder in return. I then turned my attention to Zee and Matt-hyung. "Did you bring your girlfriends too? Where are they?"

Matt-hyung rolled his eyes. "Back home. Lisa-ya couldn't make it. They're preparing for their South Korea Tour."

I nodded in agreement. I think it's about time too. I then turned my attention to Zee. "How's Yuna-ya?"

Zee sighed. "Yuna-ya's still sulking over the loss. Most of the girls are even thinking about quitting."

"I'll do something about it when we get back. Don't worry." I reminded them.

"Thanks, JayB-hyung. She'd really appreciate that." Zee said.

Jeong Do massaged my shoulders. "Don't think about that for now and just focus on your wedding. How are you feeling?"

"Honestly, I'm super excited." I admitted.

Zee went closer and gave me a couple of elbow nudges. "Oooh! I bet Dahyun-ah said something that got you excited."

I couldn't contain it as I bit my lip trying to stop myself from smiling. Dominic noticed it and started teasing. "She did! Didn't she? What? Spill!"

"She said that she's excited to get married." I widely grinned while admitting like an excited kid. My members started wooing and cheering for me happily.

Matt-hyung patted my shoulder. "Why don't you marry her for real?"

I chuckled. "It was already hard enough to convince her to be in a REAL relationship with me, how much more if it was about marriage in real life."

Jeong Do placed his arm over my shoulder. "I see the way you look at each other. It's REAL. It's beyond what the show can offer."

"You think she'll say 'yes'?" I shyly asked.

Jiwoo gave my back a big slap. "Of course! Why wouldn't she?"

It was then that I remembered those days that she was angry at me. That was the reason why I was still unsure if she'd say 'yes' in real life. After all, she still keeping a secret from me. I can't blame her though. I had a secret of my own too. Dominic saw how I suddenly became quiet and decided to lighten up the mood. "Ya! Maknae! How could you be so casual to your hyung, huh?"

"Sorry, big brother." Jiwoo bowed deeply which made everyone laugh.

These guys really knew how to lighten up the mood at the right time. I quickly brushed off the sad thoughts and focused on what lies ahead. It was going to be a special day for us, and our friends were here to support and cheer for us. And that's what mattered the most.

"JayB-oppa! Wow! You look… amazing!" Mina complimented as soon as they entered the chapel.

Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived. The wedding was going to start in a few minutes. We were all gathered in Auberge Discovery Bay's chapel and were waiting for the bride to arrive. Twice just arrived from Dahyun's dressing room and all of them were wearing bridesmaid's dresses. They look like they were about to walk on a gala's red carpet with the way they were dressed.

Dominic inserted herself in front of Mina and pouted. "Ya… Myoui Mina. Your boyfriend's here, you know?"

Mina giggled. "Don't worry. You look more handsome than JayB-oppa, babe."

I rolled my eyes. "Thanks. How's Dahyun-ie?"

Sana laughed. "She's excited, but nervous at the same time."

I chuckled lightly. "We both are."

Matt-hyung patted my back. "Relax, will you? It's just a simple ceremony where we pass through and the both of you give your vows. It'll be short but memorable."

Jihyo suddenly shushed us. "Quiet down! Places everyone! The bride's here!"

Everyone went to their places as they lined up at the back except for Chaeyoung and Zhang who were near the piano. Zhang and Chaeyoung would be singing the song that I composed for the entourage. It wasn't my idea actually, but Zhang and Chaeyoung wanted to do something for us since I helped them with their relationship problem in the past. That's why I arranged a piano cover for the new song to be sung at our wedding. I, on the other hand, am nervously waiting at the altar.

You have no idea how nervous I was right now. I kept fiddling with my hands. Things only became worse when Director Youra asked Zhang to start playing. It only signified that beyond that door, Dahyun, my future wife, was waiting to walk down the aisle. Zhang played the short intro which made my heart beat faster. Chaeyoung smiled as she sang the verse for the song that Sungjae and Joy wrote in the previous world called Young Love.

[My heart is only for you

I'm curious if you know

or don't know my feelings

I don't know how much you love me]

Zhang started singing his part beautifully but I was still focused on the door behind the entourage. It wasn't opened yet since my friends were still walking down the aisle. Dominic and Mina arrived at the altar as Dominic gave a light pat on my shoulder to calm me down. He was my best man for today. Mina was Dahyun's maid of honor. I'm glad that they were both here to assure me that there was nothing to be nervous about.

[Do I have to say it for you to know

I'm not sure why you still don't know of my feelings

Please do know

I really love you]

As the crew slowly opened the doors, I held my breath. When I finally saw Dahyun standing at the end of the aisle, I couldn't help but smile widely. She was really beautiful in that white dress. Even more beautiful than when we had our prenuptial photoshoot. Today, she was far more perfect than I ever thought she was. Chaeyoung and Zhang sang the chorus beautifully and everything seemed to have slowed down as I slowly took in the moment.

[Though it's a little hard because we're young

There's still a lot of time for us

Holding hands, looking only at each other

Slowly let's go, let's understand each other

Love is supposed to be young, young love]

She didn't move directly as she observed my reaction. Dahyun chuckled slightly at how emotional I was being which made me laugh as well. Chaeyoung's rapping was also helping us lighten up the mood a little.

[That's right we're still a little young

It's hard to express

Will it maybe hurt your feelings?

Sometimes I'm scared

But I don't want to show you all my feelings

These feelings that anybody can see, not yet]

Zhang started singing his lines in a high pitch as Dahyun started walking down the aisle. Some of the members of Twice were already starting to tear up and become emotional. My members were just being goofy and were taking pictures of Dahyun and her members. Dahyun couldn't help being emotional. We've really waited for this day ever since we got together, and now it's finally here.

[I just wanted you to express it a little more

Because it feels like mine are slightly bigger than yours]

Slow and steady. Step by step. Dahyun was drawing near. And with each step she took, my heart beat started calming down seeing that what I dreamt of started to become a reality with each step. She was now halfway down the aisle. Dahyun was really taking her time since she told me that there wouldn't be another moment like this in a show for her. Though it was a show, it felt real to me.

[Though it's a little hard because we're young

There's still a lot of time for us

Holding hands, looking only at each other

Slowly let's go, let's understand each other

Love is supposed to be young, young love]

She was now close to the altar as Chaeyoung started singing the bridge with Zhang. I slowly approached her and offered my hand and to help her go up the small set of stairs leading to the altar. She gladly took it with a smile.

[To be honest, I get worried

Because I've already received such a big joy

Don't worry

We just have to overcome it like we always did]

Finally, we were face to face with each other in front of the altar. As we both held each other's hands, we were both speechless at the same time. The moment has finally arrived. All the nervousness was washed away and was replaced with excitement and joy.

[Though it's a little hard because we're young

There's still a lot of time for us

Holding hands, looking only at each other

Slowly let's go, let's understand each other

Love is supposed to be young, young love]

The song ended as we both stood there in front of everybody. We were finally getting married. I know I've said it a dozen times but this just felt so surreal. Although this was done in a show, it still felt real. Did the people who went through this also feel the same?

Since this was an informal wedding in the show, The program flow was simple. We would just exchange our vows, put on our wedding rings and walk down the aisle as everyone would cheer for us. Seiji-hyung and Matt-hyung were our Emcees for today since they didn't have their girlfriends here. They were also happy to do this for us.

Matt-hyung started speaking. "We're all gathered here today to witness and celebrate two of our beloved friends tie the knot and become one through marriage."

Seiji-hyung agreed. "That's right. And like any other wedding, we would like to start it by hearing the couple share their vows for each other."

"Right. So may the bride start with hers?" Matt-hyung suggested which Dahyun happily agreed.

She didn't start reading her vows yet but she was already starting to tear up. I got my handkerchief out and started dabbing her cheeks to remove the tears. Dahyun chuckled at what I was doing. This didn't escape Matt-hyung's eyes as he suddenly started teasing. "Ah. Even at this moment where the bride would read her vows, the groom is still acting all sweet. I want to say get a room, but you probably will after this ceremony."

Everyone in the room started laughing. Zhang started playing something on the piano to help set the mood. Dahyun thanked him before she opened a piece of paper and started reading her vows. "I know that we didn't start off well. It might seem that way in front of the camera, but we were awkward when we were alone. Especially when we were working together. Thank you for not giving up on us. From now on, I promise to be better. I won't hide anything from you and I promise to tell the truth. I promise to love you and cherish you. I WILL continue to cook even though you lie about how good the food tastes even if it's disgusting. I'll take care of you and I will not give up on you that easily. I love you, JayB-oppa, my husband."

Her words started to make me feel emotional. It's true. We didn't start off well. It was all pretend. Then it became real for the both of us. I'm just glad that we were able to work things out and start our married life properly. I smiled at her as I slowly read to her my vows. "Kim Dahyun, my princess. I promise to look at you and only you. Thank you for giving me a chance. I hope that I'm making you happy and will continue to do so. I hope that you're not regretting about giving me this chance. I promise to eat breakfast with you even though I'm tired. I know how much it means to you that we eat together not only during breakfast time. Even though I'm tired, I'll do my best. I won't lie or hide anything from you. I won't cheat on you. That's never going to happen. I love you, Kim Dahyun. Let's be happy together."

Our friends started applauding and cheering for us. After calming down, Seiji-hyung continued on with the program. "Now that the couple has said their vows, they will now put on each other's wedding rings."

"Will the groom do the honors?" Matt-hyung asked.

I nodded as I took Dahyun's ring from the case and held her hand. "I, Kim Jinbo, take Kim Dahyun as my wife, in sickness and in health, in rich or poor, 'til… the show ends"

The audience laughed. It was what the script said. I had no choice but to follow it. Even Dahyun was trying to hold her laughter in. I finally was able to put Dahyun's ring on her finger. Seiji-hyung then instructed Dahyun to ready my ring.

Dahyun smiled at me as she readied the ring. "I, Kim Dahyun, take Kim Jinbo as my husband, in sickeness and in health, in rich or poor, until our time in this show ends."

After Dahyun placed the ring on my finger, our friends started cheering once again. Matt-hyung then spoke which made the crowd erupt into louder cheers. "With the power vested in us since we have no choice but to obey our friend in being the MC, We now pronounce you, husband and wife."

Seiji-hyung gae me a smile. "JayB-ya, you may now kiss your bride."

They continued to cheer as I gave Dahyun a peck on the cheek. She giggled but the crowd wasn't pleased. Matt-hyung gave me a glare as he spoke through the microphone. "Eyy! No way! Are you kidding me? We didn't fly all this way just to see you kiss her on the cheek!"

Everyone started laughing at what Matt-hyung said. Even Dahyun was laughing along. I guess we don't have any choice now, do we? I took Dahyun's waist which surprised her. Her eyes widened in surprise as I pulled her closer. I slowly leaned in for a kiss. She closed her eyes and waited for my lips to touch hers. And that was it, our first, official tender kiss on the show as a married couple.

Dahyun and I started walking down the aisle as everyone threw flowers and confetti. The cameras were still rolling as we headed towards the reception area to have our early dinner. Some of our friends performed for us as a gift. Others were giving speeches. Twice and Alpha were looking for several ways to have us do some skinship. I've never kissed or hugged Dahyun this much in one day. Our members were really shrewd. Nonetheless, it was one of the best days I had so far. Although it was a fun time with my friends, and I really enjoyed it, they couldn't stay for long since PD-nim wanted them back tonight for some quality check tomorrow.

Not long after, we said our goodbyes as they started making their way back to the airport. Dahyun and I, on the other hand, went to our hotel room. The filming was still on but we already changed into our pajamas. It was the first time we saw our room today and the show's crew really outdid themselves. The room was well decorated. It had rose petals everywhere with a huge heart on our bed made out of rose petals. There was champagne and chocolates on the table as well. We took our time to share our highlights today. After a long day, we both lay down on the bed. The filming ended with me singing a lullaby to Dahyun.

As soon as the director yelled cut, Dahyun opened and her eyes and sat on the bed. "Today was fun. Wasn't it?"

"It wasn't just fun. It was really REALLY fun." I emphasized.

Dahyun giggled before she yawned. "I can't believe I'm this tired when it's still a couple minutes past 7PM."

I chuckled. "Well, you didn't get any sleep last night. Plus, we had a really long day today. I'd be surprised if you weren't tired by now."

Director Youra approached us. "We're done for the day. Great job you two. I really love your chemistry. And JayB-ya, that song was perfect. I know I've seen you do it many times, but I really still can't get used to it."

Dahyun smiled at her. "Thanks, unnie. You guys did really well today too. I hope you get plenty of rest tonight."

The director laughed. "You're sweet. Thanks. We're heading out now. If you guys need anything. Our rooms are a floor below this one. Feel free to knock and call anytime. And oh! You have to be ready by 10AM tomorrow." Director Youra then turned her attention to me. "You guys can still hangout if you want, but don't stay up too late. We have another long day ahead of us. JayB-ya, your room is beside this one. Make sure you have plenty of rest. I heard from your manager that you didn't sleep for two days now. Well, we're heading out now. Good night you two."

After Youra-noona and the rest of the filming crew left, Dahyun snapped her head towards me while glaring. "Two days? You haven't slept for two days?!"

I smiled wryly at her while I raised my hands in defense. "Y-Yeah… We were really busy and I couldn't sleep last night from the excitement too."

"You do realize that you promised not to lie and to hide anything from me, don't you?" She asked as she crossed her arms.

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry for not telling you." I held her hand while giving her a warm smile.

She sighed. "And you took care of me the entire day without showing me how tired you were. Thank you. You're really sweet, you know that?"

Her words made my heart melt. I slowly stood up from the bed before I went over to her side and gave her a hug. I pulled away from her and caressed her face. "We should get some sleep. Even though our call-time is a bit late in the morning, we need to catch up on some sleep."

Dahyun nodded in agreement. I slowly made my way to the door and waved back at her. "Good night, princess. I'll see you in my dreams tonight."

I opened the door and was prepared to head out when Dahyun suddenly stood up and pinched the helm of my shirt. It surprised me because she was bowing her head as if she was embarrassed with what she just did. I gave her a smile. "Is… there something wrong?"

She shook her head before taking a deep breath in. "Is it okay to ask you for a favor?"

"Sure. What is it?" I nodded as I turned to face her fully.

I could feel her grip tighten and her hands shaking. With a sigh, she finally was able to speak her mind out. "Will you stay here with me for the night?"
