Hyunjin wanted a fall wedding, so you made sure the autumn leaves fell gracefully from the tree right as he walked down the aisle.
You felt tears brim your eyes as you watched his fairytale wedding come true: smiling faces, ornate decorations, and a happily ever after between him and the love of his life. Hyunjin looked so happy at that moment, and he deserved nothing less.
"Tissues?" Someone beside you asked, holding a pack of Kleenex in his hand.
Sniffling, you accepted the tissues gratefully and turned to thank the kind stranger. You've never met him before, which was strange because Hyunjin usually introduced you to all of his friends. He was sitting in the front two rows of the venue reserved specifically for close family and friends, so he must have been close to your brother.
"Thank you. And you are?" You asked, looking over at him peculiarly. He was tall, had doe-like eyes, and was slightly baby-faced – if Hyunjin had introduced him to you earlier, you would have definitely fallen for his angelic features. The stranger gave off a very amiable vibe, someone you could imagine yourself going on grocery shopping dates with; plus, the crispness of his dress shirt told you that he took great care of himself.
"Seungmin, the groom's college roommate. And you?" He replied in a modulated voice, smooth and silvery.
You flashed him a quick smile and held out your hand. "The groom's sister," you said, your hand clasped firmly around his warm one. "You're the one who tolerated my brother's weird sleeping habits for four years straight?"
"That's me. I hated his alarms but got used to them the second year. You're the one who planned this beautiful wedding?" he reciprocated as his eyes scanned the garden venue you booked specifically for the special day.
Smiling, you were grateful someone had noticed the amount of effort you put into the planning. Booking gardens weren't easy, especially during fall because everyone craved the fall aesthetic; it took you nearly three months to secure the venue and order all the centerpieces. "Yeah, I did. Could have been better if there were something more, like a fountain... but it'll do," you replied modestly.
"I think it's perfect. Your brother's lucky to have someone like you," Seungmin chimed. He stared ahead at Hyunjin and his bride exchanging vows to one another. "I remember the time where we used to talk about weddings like they were the most intangible things in the universe. A few years later, he's walking down the aisle with that goofy, lovesick look on his face."
"That's just how life works. Fate messes with your life like a game of Monopoly. Sometimes you strike gold early and sometimes later, but ultimately, you'll get what you want," you said. Your college days were an utter mess. One time, you got so wasted at a house party and ended up confessing to your TA, who also happened to be really cute to your intoxicated self. The next morning, your English grade plummeted. But you still managed to graduate, so that was all that mattered. "How come I've never met you before?"
Seungmin laughed, that melodic laugh you could listen to all day. If Mozart's pieces were transmuted into laughter, that's exactly how it would sound like. "Life got in the way, and I got an opportunity to study abroad. I just got my master's, literally my thesis was just approved, and I had to fly back for Hyunjin's wedding. Imagine how stressed I would be if I had missed the flight." He puffed his cheeks out and made a face, which you thought was too cute to believe. Why have you not meet this adorable human being earlier?
