Euphoria

"Vows and Surprises"

Sung Rin-Cha

I couldn't stop smiling as he said the words that I had hoped to hear for so long. His angelic voice stopped before it even started, and the audience began gasping. I heard a few "aws" and cute praises from the crowd, but kept my eyes focused on Jin-Woo.

"You may now kiss," came the voice of my grandfather, who was already in tears. I had told Jin-Ah that he held wedding receptions before, so she invited him to read the vows. I walked down the aisle with Jin-Ho, since my father would be watching from above, and so would my mother.

I stared at Jin-Woo as he turned my body into his arms, and dipped me into a kiss. Our lips met, and I held onto his shoulders as he supported my weight. The audience erupted into applause as we kissed, and I closed my eyes. Everything disappeared as it was only him and I. My eyes fluttered open to meet him, and I pulled him into an embrace with tears brimming on the edge of my eyes.

Say it, Rin-Cha. He'll be happy.

I took a deep breath and brought my lips to his ear the best I could. I was on my toes, and he bent down to listen to what I had to say. The audience didn't notice as I began whispering in his ear, a smile on my lips the whole time as I spoke.

"Jin-Woo, I'm..." I chuckled softly and smiled.

"I'm pregnant."

I pulled away softly, a grin on my lips. He looked shell-shocked at first, but his fear turned into excitement in five seconds flat. He picked me up as if I was weightless with a grin, and faced the audience. They clapped and cheered as he strode down the aisle I had walked on, and through the curtain. We ran hand in hand towards a black limousine, our laughter filling the air. Jin-Woo opened the door for me with a bow, and I planted a kiss on his forehead as I stepped in. 

As he took a seat next to me, his fingers laced with mine. He was on the verge of tears as they moved to my stomach, feeling a tiny bump. I moved mine on top of his, and he pulled me into a tight hug.

"Thank you, Rin-Cha."

"No, thank you. I love you so much, and everything you've done for me has been-"

I was cut off by his lips, soft and tender. I sank into the feeling, gripping his shoulders lights as he pulled me into his body. I lay on his chest as the vehicle drove, enjoying the silence. He played with my hair a bit, being careful not to wreck it. I closed my eyes and breathed in his scent, laughing at the deodorant he had used. It was the one I had bought for his birthday, and he had used it specially for today.

We reached the venue where the afterparty was being held in a few minutes.

The driver let us step out of the limo, and wished us luck and congratulations. I walked hand in hand with him into the building, receiving stares from some of the passersby.

"Is that S Rank Hunter Sung Jin-Woo?"

"Oh my god, that's Japanese S Ranker Tae Rin-Cha!"

"Hey, are you two getting married today?" A woman asked, a phone pulled out in front of her face.

Jin-Woo looked at me with a nod, and I smiled back at him.

"Yes. In fact, we just got married actually. We're headed to the afterparty right now."

This woman lost all of her marbles as she heard me speak, and congratulated us both. The rest of the people clapped and cheered as we ran into the apartment lobby, decorated with all sorts of balloons, steamers and lights. It was only 12:30 in the afternoon, but we were planning to end the festivities at 12 in the morning.
