It was absolutely beautiful.

The weather. The flowers. And Namjoon's snowy white tuxedo.

"Welcome, family, friends and loved ones. We gather here today to celebrate the wedding of Kim Seokjin and Kim Namjoon."

Jin peered down at himself. He was wearing an equally opulent ivory ensemble and the white flower in his hair matched the small bouquet in his hands. Speckles of shimmering blue had been spray painted on them. To reflect one of Jin's favorite fictional flowers. The Smeraldo.

Raising his gaze, he was met with the smiling visage of his lover. Never had he seen the blonde's dimples so profound.

So, how did everything come to this very moment?

He had been reborn, his memories from the previous world still intact. As soon as he graduated from high school, he went in full pursuit of finding Namjoon. After finding out where the blonde was attending college, he enrolled and wasted no time in introducing himself.

Namjoon had recognized him almost immediately and the two vowed never to leave each other again.

They met Min Yoongi in the same university but had met up with Jung Hoseok only a few years later after he came back from studying abroad. Of course, the two hit it off.

After graduating, Namjoon and Jin had gotten a place together. Because Jin had never met up with Soo Jung, he never had Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook. It would hurt from time to time but Jin had come to accept that the boys were probably better off in the lives they had now.

At least so he thought.

One day, he happened to spot little Taehyung getting on a bus with other children. The bus was for the local orphanage. He told Namjoon and they wasted no time in finding the orphanage.

He couldn't believe it! Jungkook, Taehyung, and Jimin. All three boys were at the orphanage! According to the headmaster, the boys arrived around the same time and were strangely drawn to each other almost instantly.

It was a lot of paperwork and hassle but both Jin and Namjoon made sure that they got their boys back. Something occurred that still blows his mind to this day and that was what Taehyung had said the first time they had brought the boys home.

Slowly the boy had beckoned for Jin to kneel down to his level and softly he whispered in the man's ear.

"Appa...I knew you'd save Joonie appa..."

"...So welcome to one and all, who have traveled from near and far. Jin and Namjoon thank you for your presence here today and now ask for your blessing, encouragement, and lifelong support for their decision to be married."

Snapping out of his thoughts, Jin looked over Namjoon's shoulder to see Hoseok and Yoongi wearing suave black suits. They were grinning from ear to ear. They were probably reminiscing on their own wedding which had taken place only months earlier.

Hearing jaunty giggles from behind, he looked down towards his left. There stood his three sons all donned in their little black suits; their heads wrapped in smeraldo crowns. Taehyung peered up at his father with proud eyes as he flashed a boxy grin, the pillow in his hands holding a set of beautiful diamond rings. Jimin continued to hold Jungkook's hand as the young toddler continued to stare down into the basket full of flowers that he held in his other hand.

"Those aren't for eating kookie..." Jimin whispered and attempted to move the basket away but Jungkook only seemed to move closer towards it.

Out in the crowd, Jin could spot his mother and father. Their fellow coworkers. There was no Mi-rae in sight.

He only hoped that the wish he made had helped her find her own happiness. It was a risky gamble but he was glad that he didn't hesitate.

"Will you, Namjoon, take this man's hand in marriage? For better for worse? Through sickness and in health? Til death do you part?"

Namjoon took hold of one of Jin's hands, caressing it lovingly with his thumb. "I always will"

Jin remained quiet. At this point, he could feel the tears coming but he was trying very hard to hold back the waterworks. Here they were. Finally. After everything, they went through. This was it.

"And will you, Seokjin, take this man's hand in marriage? For better for worse? Through sickness and in health? Til death do you part?"

Jin swallowed, no longer able to contain himself. The tears fell and it took a minute for Jin to gather himself before he finally said, "I always will"

After they had exchanged their vows and their rings, the final declaration was made by the officiant.

"Seokjin and Namjoon, as you have chosen to join together in a bond of marriage, and have pledged yourselves to each other in the presence of family and friends, it is my joyand privilege to pronounce you partners in life. "

Namjoon chuckled as he embraced his lover, his arms encasing the other's waist. "We made it. Finally... Are you ready for this?"

Jin wrapped his arms around Namjoon's neck. "I've been ready for a long time."

"That's my pink prince"

"Pink prince-oh, your right..." A burst of laughter left his lips before Namjoon leaned in for a kiss.

The congregation stood and cheered at the new union. They watched as the newlyweds ran down the aisle, bright smiles on their faces.

They had decided that they would start their new life together, not as Han Geonwu or Song Eunah.

But as Kim Seokjin and Kim Namjoon.

FIN.
