Synopsis: Every step Sunny takes towards the altar remindes her of their history together as a couple--all the happy, hard and sad times.
A/N: This is my second try at a chaptered fic. I can't seem to finish the first one (since it is in a different fandom), but this time I'm determined to finish it. The whole thing would be five chapters ^^ I'm actually supposed to be re-writing my notes, but I got inspired by Araki Kae's Inori you ni Aishiteru (loving you like praying)--a song in Fushigi Yuugi. It's basically Miaka Romantic with words. So sweet <3333
It never really crossed my mind how I would be walking down the aisle.
I planned what I would be wearing, who would be by my side as I walked into marriage--but of course, I didn't plan who I would be marrying. I didn't plan me crying too.
I just can't help it though everything feels so surreal. Every step I took reminded me of everything that happened to the both of us.
Marry U started playing. Of course, I'd choose that over the wedding march. Marry U is undoubtedly sweeter for me.
First few steps, I looked up. I saw Sungmin standing near the pastor with his brother by his side. He was smiling broadly and I though of one thing: God, he looks so manly and handsome.
I continued walking. I saw manager-oppas, stylist-noonas and the rest of the crew. I just can't help myself but smile even wider as I see their smiling faces. A few were waving, giving me "V" signs, and mouthed, "fighting!" I felt my own tears falling down. Thank God for waterproof mascara!
Next few, I looked around the small room. I saw the whole gang of Super Junior, smiling at me. Of course, Eunhyuk and Ryeowook had tears in their eyes. Finally, another member of Super Junior had settled down. I looked to my left, and saw So Nyu Shi Dae. Seohyun was waving at me, the rest their faces smiling but I can see the faint tear streaks on their cheeks. Tissues were also clenched at their right hand--undoubtedly, they've been crying. Now I can't stop myself from crying--and I wish I had a tissue with me. Oh why aren't there any pockets in wedding dresses for tissues? I must recommend that.
Five more steps to the altar.
It was a cold night. We just finished Chunji--it was another tiring night. It was really fun DJ-ing with Sungmin, he makes the atmosphere light and cheerful though he usually does that through bullying me. It's not that I'm not used to those antics of his--he does that every night. Nothing new.
As we stepped out of the recording studio after saying our goodbyes, we both head out to the parking lot. Sungmin always drops me by our dorm, instead of some other people driving me back. I was surprised when he told me this and asked him why. He answered, "I'd feel better if I'd do it for you." Then he smiled and started the engine.
Often times, we'd drop by a coffee house to buy some coffee or pastries if we still had to do something or we're hungry. We were both a bit hungry that night so we stopped by Starbucks to grab some food.
I stepped out the car and realized something. I forgot my coat in the recording studio. Damn! Plus, I was just wearing a tank top and shorts. Perfect for a chilly night. I was rubbing my shoulders with my hands for warmth, but it wasn't working as well as I thought it would. Sungmin saw me and took off his coat. He draped the coat over my shoulders and put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer to him. "You're cold, aren't you?" He smiled at me.
Surprised by his sweetness, I looked up. I smiled back at him. "Yeah. Forgot my coat in the studio." He chuckled. "I knew it. You easily forget things when you're hungry."
"Hah, as if you don't!" I replied back and playfully hit his side. "There was one time you were so hungry that you forgot your cell phone!"
He laughed. "Okay fine, we're even." His laughter was soothing, for some reason. And he laughs so cute too. "Do you want to go back to the studio?"
"Nah, I'd just get it tomorrow. I'll just call my manager." We went in, bought our coffee and sat in one of the comfy chairs. There was a table in between us for the food. I looked around, there wasn't much people than I expected. Of course, it's eleven thirty in the evening, who would actually lounge in a coffee shop at that time! Well, we are.
It was even colder inside the shop, good thing Sungmin's jacket was warm. It was bigger than me, of course. We ordered what we want and while I took out my wallet, Sungmin immediately paid the cashier. "My treat," he winked.
We talked about the daily antics of our band mates and the other things that happened that day as we ate our food. Even though we already drank hot coffee, my hands were still cold. I rubbed them together and stuffed them in the jacket's pockets. Next time, I'll bring gloves.
He saw me doing that, and grabbed my right hand as we exited the store. I was surprised, but I didn't resist to it. His warm hand enclosing mine, the warmth was perfect. I intertwined my fingers into his, and moved closer. I laid my head into his shoulder, thankful for everything that he has done. He smiled at me, and I smiled back at him. For some reason, my heart was beating faster. Little did I know that his heart was beating faster too.
Little did I know that someone was snapping pictures of us.
We talked more as we drove to the dorm. He parked the car, something he doesn't do. Usually he'd just drop me by and I'll walk back. I asked him why and he said: "I want my jacket back. And I know it's really cold in the building." As we walked inside the building, the air-condition was cranked up…for some reason. It was really cold! Sungmin held my hand again as we took the elevator. We were walking in the corridor and stopped in front of the door.
"So."
"So."
"Thanks for everything, Sungmin." I handed the jacket back to him. He got it and said, "No problem." There was an awkward silence between us, it's like someone's waiting for us to speak up first. I was looking at the floor when I felt his arms around me. I was surprised at him today--he's really sweet outside the office and recording studio, but today was sweetness extraordinaire. It’s not that I’m complaining or anything, I liked it in fact. And my heart was really beating fast this time.
I felt like I was on a date or something.
I snaked my hands around his body and pulled closer. I relished the warmth that his body gave to my cool body-it was perfect. I closed my eyes and smelled his cologne. It wasn’t surprising for me to know that he uses cologne-after all he is a bit…feminine. It reminded me of the days when I was still a kid, running along the fields of our province when we go back there during the holidays. It was very relaxing, it’s as if I could sleep right there in his arms, without any care in the world. I felt so safe, so secure…as if everything was perfect. We wouldn’t worry about anything at all, what matters most is we’re happy.
He pressed a quick kiss on my forehead and I immediately looked up. I tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek. He then ruffled my hair like an older brother would to a younger sister.
“Goodnight,” He said as he walked back to the elevator, waving his hand. “See you tomorrow! Next time, when we eat you pay. I paid for this time!”
I chuckled. “Okay then I will! Goodnight, Sungmin!” He walked inside the elevator and I pressed in the code to our dorm. I entered and saw Tiffany on the phone, speaking rapid English I couldn’t understand. Probably talking to her family in America. I waved and walk inside the room I shared with others. They were already sleeping, resting after a long day’s work and for tomorrow’s schedule. I changed to my night clothes and put the ones that I was wearing inside the hamper.
I plopped down my bed, closed my eyes and smiled. I was tired, but I was happy and my heart was beating so fast. Sungmin. He kissed me on my forehead and I kissed him on his cheek. I turned to my side and smiled even wider into my pillow. I felt like a teenager who just met her crush. I turned off the lights and fell into a very nice sleep, ready for the next day.
A few more late night visits to different restaurants later, Sungmin brought me to this very nice outdoor restaurant, near a river. Opposite of which are the buildings, dotted with lights and casting wonderful reflections into the lake. We ordered food and ate our early morning breakfast quietly, taking in the very relaxing atmosphere.
We split the bill this time after bullying him and him bullying me back so he wouldn’t pay for the food. It was a pretty amusing scene, I think. Just how we bullied each other in Chunji.
Knowing we don’t have any schedules the next day, we spent our time walking along the riverside. We were hand in hand once more-it was like a usual gesture these days, but my heart drummed a bit faster against my chest when we would. I felt like blushing every time we’d do so.
I spoke first. “The lights are beautiful when it’s night time. And its reflections in the water are really pretty too.” I got out my cell phone and took a picture of the scene.
“But it’s not as beautiful as you, Sunny.”
I laughed at that comment, and at the same time I blushed. “Like you’re not pretty, Sungmin.” He laughed back. “Yeah, well I do pride myself a pretty person when I am a woman.”
“Tch. Self-conceited.”
“Call me conceited if you wish, but I do mean that Sunny.”
That’s when I found out he wasn’t joking to me at all. He turned me around and pressed his body against mine. He placed his forehead into mine, our noses touching, lips just a few centimeters apart.
“Kiss him Sunny, kiss the guy!” My mind was screaming. Then I heard him singing their song.
“Sunny, Sunny, Sunny, I love you. I want you, I need you.” And closed the gap in between us. I deepened the kiss, liking the feeling of his mouth on mine. It was a sweet, long kiss-kiss of happiness, longing and thankfulness. Happy and thankful that we’re finally able to do that after years or knowing each other, happy and thankful that we’ve finally found the person we’ve been looking for. Finally, we know how we feel about each other.
I found out about my feelings towards Sungmin a few days ago, after my band mates finally knocked sense into my pretty dense head. Never knew that I was dense since I was usually the matchmaker between my friends when I was in school.
What I didn’t know was his feelings though-does he feel the same way too? When we hold hands, eat together after the radio show? Those thoughts plagued my mind when I’m alone-but now I know the answers to those questions.
We broke the kiss to catch our breath. “I’ve always wondered why my name was there.” I replied. “I love you too, Lee Sungmin.” After that we kissed again, this time with more passion. He placed his hand at the back of my neck so he could deepen the kiss more. I pressed my body closer to his and snaked my arms around his body.
That night, I knew both of our lives changed forever.
Comments? Suggestions? I'd like to hear them from you~! Chapter two is along the way :)
