"Mark stop it." Grace demanded, glaring at the male staring at her. His eyes were watering as he blinked back his tears. He had just entered the room, yet he was already starting to break down. "Don't you dare cry. I'll kick you out of the wedding right now if you start crying. You'll make me cry and I didn't take forever getting ready just so I can ruin it all by crying."

Mark laughed, shaking his head. Jisun patted the girl's back, trying to help the siblings calm down.

"I'll admit, I'm emotional." Mark said, taking a deep breath. "I'm walking my sister down the aisle and sending her off. It's a big day."

"Mark, we'll still be living together." Grace reminded him, standing up. She went over to her brother, giving him a tight embrace. "But I'm still glad that you're here. It means a lot."

Jisun smiled, watching the two siblings exchange smiles. Mark proceeded to go on about how being married is different, doing his best to prepare his younger sister. Although Grace normally talked back, she didn't this time, accepting Mark's words instead. It was heartwarming, watching the two, and Jisun couldn't help but be glad that she was part of the family as well.

She excused herself, heading out of the room to let Grace and Mark continue their final preparations. She made her way to where the guests were, greeting the royals that passed her.

Jaehee had done a lovely job at organizing the event. Deep in Erde's forests, the land had been cleared, chairs arranged with a white carpet aisle. Although it was dark, lights were strung up, representing the two realms where Grace and Jungwoo hailed from.

Jaehee and Sona were bent down, talking to their children who served as the flower girl and ring bearer for the wedding. Jisun watched as Seohee took the younger boy's hand, happy to guide him down while holding a basket of white flower petals.

Jisun couldn't help but think back to the days when Minsun and Jihyung were their age. The two used to bicker constantly, much like Mark and Grace, yet at the same time, it was clear that they were close. Now that they were grown up, Jisun rarely saw them together but as she glanced around, eyes landing on the two talking with their friends, she felt relieved. Like everything was finally in place.

Minsun caught Jisun staring, politely excusing herself before making her way to where the Queen was. Minsun was wearing a black dress, representing the realm of her mother, but on her face was the bright smile of her father.

"Did you see Grace?" Minsun asked, curiosity filling her eyes. "Is she nervous?"

"Like any other bride." Jisun giggled, reaching out and smoothing down Minsun's hair. "You look pretty."

"Thank you." Minsun gave Jisun a light nudge. "You know, I think I earned my fashion sense from you."

"Oh really now?" Minsun nodded.

"There's a lot of things I learned from you and Mark." Minsun told her. "And I'm thankful for all of it."

Jisun's eyes caught onto the person standing behind Minsun, looking like a nervous wreck. She tried not to laugh, knowing how it felt on her own wedding day.

Minsun realized that Jisun wasn't focused on her, turning around. She was surprised to see her father there, however, Jungwoo's attention wasn't on her. Instead, he was shaking, too worried to talk to his daughter properly.

"Is it just me or does he look a little green?" Minsun muttered to Jisun.

"He does look a little green." Jisun agreed, as Jaehyun, Jungwoo's best man, came by, putting an arm around his shoulder.

"Loosen up, it's just a wedding." Jaehyun told him. "She'll walk down the aisle, you two will exchange vows, and then that's it. You're married."

"What if she changes her mind?" Jungwoo asked, his voice barely a whisper. "What if she changes her mind?"

Jaehyun rolled his eyes, looking at Minsun and Jisun. "I'm not the only one that thinks he sounds ridiculous, right?"

"If it makes you feel better, I saw her earlier." Jisun told him as Minsun patted her father's arm, hoping to reassure him. "She seems excited."

"She does?" Jungwoo's eyes lighting up, a smile creeping up on his face. It was obvious the thought of his lover in a beautiful white dress was exciting him.

Jisun nodded. "You two were meant to be, Jungwoo. Nothing can change that."

That seemed to have done the trick as Jungwoo took a deep breath, rolling his shoulders back. He seemed much more confident, looking at Jaehyun. "Well, I suppose I should take my place so we can get started."

Jaehyun visibly held in his sigh, nodding his head. "Yes, yes you should take your place so you can hurry up and get married and stop worrying."

Jungwoo looked over at Minsun, opening his arms. She naturally took the sign, hugging Jungwoo tightly.

With Jungwoo standing at the front, the guests began taking their seats, sensing the start of the event. Jisun was surprised when Minsun took her arm, dragging her to the front.

"You don't want to sit with your friends?" Jisun asked as they got settled in their seats. Minsun glanced back at where Xun was before turning to Jisun.

"I can spend time with them during the reception." Minsun told her. "For now though, I should be with my family."

Jisun smiled as the musicians began to play, capturing their attention. Jungwoo's face seemed to light up as he stared ahead of him, his bride making her appearance.
