-If Only- Jaeyong

Chapter 31: One Last Time

Final Chapter...

Sometimes in life, no matter how much you try, some things are just not meant to be....

Taeyong stared at the mirror as he felt all sorts of emotions rushing through him. Everyone was bustling around him getting ready for the ceremony but Taeyong just stared at himself in the mirror, his white suit fitting his body and his hair styled to make him look alluring.

He sat on the white satin chair while the makeup artist stroked soft brushes across his face, enhancing his soft features. His lips were plump as his cheeks were flushed with a hue of pink. 

"Do you want to eat or drink anything?" The makeup artist asked as she applied the last few touches onto Taeyong's face. 

"No it's fine" Taeyong smiled. "Thank you for the makeup. It looks beautiful"

"Thank you" She smiled back as Taeyong nodded in appreciation. "I'm so excited for you. Should I bring Yuta to let him see you?"

"Yes please" Taeyong nodded while the girl stood up and left to call Yuta. He returned to his gaze at the mirror as he stared into his own eyes. He could see them brimming with feelings. 

Everything he had built up in his heart had finally come to this. After careful consideration and many nights of crying, Taeyong realized what had to be done. Even though it hurt him so much, he knew that he had to choose the right one.

He took a deep breath as he let all his feelings wash over him.

And like a movie rolling its last credits before it ends, he closed his eyes as let his memories replay in his mind.

The low hum of the car filled the silence as Jaehyun was driving steadily to the hotel that the wedding ceremony was taking place in. His sleek black suit fit him snugly as his raven black hair was parted by the sides. The pinewood lingered in the air and Jaehyun took a deep breath. 

He didn't know how to feel. All his feelings were mixed up and he felt them all affecting him overwhelmingly. He was happy that his son was getting married but at the same time, he was devastated about losing Taeyong. It was a bitter sweet moment for him. 

He parked in the hotel's parking lot as he grabbed the bouquet of roses and the box of present from the backseat. He was supposed to be there at the same time with Yuta but because of traffic, he was a few minutes late. Brushing the creases on his suit, he raked his hand through his hair. He took the lift to the designated floor and smiled at the photo of Yuta and Tayeong hung up in the entrance of the hall room.
