Remember Me, Please! [2YEON]

12. Getting Through This Together

Sana and Tzuyu officially got married! It was such a happy moment, but also surprising. I remembered when Tzuyu used to despise that snake. She couldn't stand Sana, always complaining about her flirtatious attitude, clinging onto her and giving her the cold shoulder. It seemed impossible that they would ever be close, let alone get married.

But here they were, standing together, looking so in love. It was amazing to see how much they had grown and changed. It made me happy to see them like this, smiling and holding hands, surrounded by our friends and family. 

Wished my love life was like this...

The ceremony was beautiful. Sana looked stunning in her dress, and Tzuyu looked so handsome. The way they looked at each other was filled with so much love and warmth. It was clear they were meant to be together.

Now, we were heading to the reception. Everyone was excited to celebrate with them, but mostly to get drunk. I couldn't wait to see what surprises and fun moments were waiting for us.

Nayeon sat quietly in the passenger seat of Jimin's car as they drove to the wedding reception. They were late so they had to miss out on the first hour of the celebration. She stared out the window, watching the sun almost setting, lost in her thoughts. She then remembered what Jihyo said to her before the wedding: "Nayeon, please, you can't mention anything about your guys past. It's too painful for Jeongyeon right now. We have to protect her." It seemed simple enough, but Nayeon knew it would be harder than it sounded.

Memories of their time together flooded her mind, and she felt a pang of sadness. She didn't want to talk to Jeongyeon at all, but they would be at the same event, and avoiding her completely would be almost impossible, considering the fact that they are in the same friend group.

She then took a deep breath and tried to think of a plan. She knew she needed to be careful and avoid any situations where she might end up alone with Jeongyeon. She decided she would stick close to Jimin or any of her friends. She could start random conversations with other guests and keep herself busy, making sure to stay in the more crowded areas of the reception. If she saw Jeongyeon coming her way, she could pretend to be engrossed in a conversation or excuse herself to go to the restroom.

Her mind raced with different scenarios, still lost in her thoughts, until Jimin started to speak. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Nayeon snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at him. "Yeah, I'm fine," she replied, but her tone wasn't very convincing, she could hear the uncertainty in her voice.

Jimin's eyes stayed on the road, but his concern was evident. "You don't sound fine," he said gently. "You sure you're okay?"

Nayeon forced a small smile and nodded. "I'm just... thinking about some things." She then looked back at the window.

There was a moment of silence before Jimin spoke again. "I saw Jeongyeon there," he said, his voice careful.

Nayeon's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him quickly, her eyes wide with surprise. "Did you talk to her?" Jimin asked, his eyes still on the road but his tone filled with curiosity and concern.

Nayeon took a deep breath and nodded slowly. "Yes, we talked," she said softly.

Jimin's head whipped around to look at her, his eyes wide with shock. He quickly turned back to the road, but the shock lingered in his voice. "What happened?" he asked, his voice was a bit louder now.

Nayeon shook her head, trying to find the right words. "It's... it's difficult to explain," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Jimin sensed her hesitation and didn't push her further. Instead, he reached over and placed a comforting hand on her knee, giving it a gentle squeeze. "It's okay," he said softly. "You don't have to explain right now. I'm here for you."

Nayeon then placed her hand on top of his, squeezing it lightly. "Thank you," she said, her voice breaking a little. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself.

As they neared their destination, Jimin glanced over at her again. "We'll get through this," he said, his voice full of determination. "Together."

Nayeon nodded, feeling a bit more hopeful. "Y- yeah," she said softly. "Together."

As they finally arrived to the venue, Nayeon's heart started to beat faster. She wasn't sure if her plan would work, but she had to try. She wasn't ready to face the emotions that seeing Jeongyeon again would bring. But with Jimin by her side, she felt like she could face anything. Together, they got out of the car and headed inside, ready to face whatever came next.

As they both entered the venue, they could already see lots of stuff happening: people dancing on the dance floor, lots of voices echoing the room, and there were already people about to pass out from drinking too much alcohol. 

They then looked around to see where there friends are and already noticed Mina, Chaeyoung. Dahyun & Jeongyeon together, sitting at the same table. She then took a mental note to not come close to that table. She then saw Momo and her boyfriend eating, Jihyo singing on stage, and Sana & Tzuyu having a conversation.

As they walked to the newly wedded couple, Sana's face lit up when she saw them, "You made it!" she exclaimed, pulling Nayeon into a tight hug. "We were worried you wouldn't come."

"We're so sorry we're late," Nayeon said, returning the hug.

Tzuyu smiled warmly and shook Jimin's hand. "It's okay. We're just happy you're here now."

Jimin nodded. "Congratulations to both of you once again," he said sincerely. "We're really happy for you."

Sana beamed at the compliment. "Thank you, Jimin. It means a lot to us."

They chatted for a bit, catching up and sharing their happiness. Despite the late arrival, Sana and Tzuyu seemed genuinely pleased to see them. They talked about the ceremony, the beautiful decorations, and how happy they were to finally be married.

As they were still talking, Tzuyu started to suggest to them, "You should go get some food before Momo eats it all."

Everyone laughed, and Jimin and Nayeon agreed that it was a good idea. They said goodbye to Sana and Tzuyu and started walking towards the food table. As they walked, Nayeon looked around and suddenly saw Jeongyeon standing up from her chair. Jeongyeon was also heading in the same direction of the food table.

Nayeon's heart started to race. Without thinking, she grabbed Jimin's arm and quickly pulled him in another direction. Jimin was surprised and confused. He looked at Nayeon and asked, "What are you doing? Why are we going this way?"

Nayeon stopped and took a deep breath. She knew she had to explain. "I'm sorry, Jimin," she said quietly. "I saw Jeongyeon. I don't want to run into her right now."

Jimin looked at her and understood. He nodded, realizing why she was scared. "It's okay, Nayeon. We can avoid her," he said gently.

They continued walking, now heading to a different part of the room. Nayeon kept looking around, making sure they didn't cross paths with Jeongyeon. They found another table with food and started picking out what they wanted to eat.

As they filled their plates, they walked towards Momo and Heechul's table to go eat with them.
