⦃ Epilogue ⦄

On brand, the wedding march started playing and both groom and bride walked down the aisle with big smiles. The wedding occurred smoothly and without any more hurdles, and Soora had to admit that she didn't actually hate weddings per se. Maybe the stressful parts of being part of the bride's and groom's party, but the actual wedding and part, she didn't mind at all. 

Soora could without question say she was living her best life, her past troubles long overcome and almost forgotten, pushed back by all the happy memories she made alongside her loved ones.

She watched as Taehyun, Jimin and Jungkook danced together without fear of being judged because they were surrounded by people that they trusted and that loved them and respected them. She saw the Jeon sisters and the Kim cousins laughing loudly at something someone said, dancing around in a clown-y manner and pulling every other guest to their dance trains.

Yoongi and Chae were in their own bubble, enjoying the honeymoon phase of their relationship, and Soora couldn't be happier to see them in love, after having dealt with so much, they surely deserved.

Jisoo and Seokjin were talking with bride and groom about something casual. They had married a few months after their graduation, and for the first time Soora was able to be for long periods of time surrounded by strangers.

It was after their wedding that she commented with Elisa the wish to start going to work in person, instead of doing work from home. It was a morose process, one that took some time to adapt, doing hybrid work until she was finally able to spend all day in the offices.

As she started to work more in the offices, her own webtoon finally started to get more traction and was finally released, meeting instant success among the usual readers of the company's webtoons. Soon the success spread to the general public and as demand increased they started to also export to the closest markets, translating in Japanese, Mandarin, Thai, Indonesian, and then in English. 

It exploded quickly, and soon she was getting offers to export worldwide in more languages, to make more webtoons, and to have her webtoon turned into animation. Now, a year and a half later, she felt like this busy and crowded life had always been her bread and breathe.

"She's going to throw the bouquet." Chae said, dragging Soora before she could protest.

The unmarried bunch horded in front of the bride, who had her back turned to them, annoucing she was going to make the countdown. Ashley counted from three, but as she finished counting, she didn't throw the bouquet. Instead, she turned around and walked towards the crowd waiting for the flowers, and handed the bouquet directly to someone.

Soora had to blink her mind back to reality, trying to figure out why Ashley was handing her the bouquet, until Hoseok showed up, having disappeared a while ago for matron of honor duties, as he said. Soora tried to ask what was happening, but words left her mouth when she saw him kneeling in front of her and opening a small red heart shaped box with a ring inside.

"Soora, you're my best friend and after two marriages seeing the people we love having their happily ever after, I think it's our time to start our forever together. Do you accept to embark in this journey by my side?"

Soora was speechless, but her eyes fogged up with tears, her heart beating faster than she could catch up, and her head shook in an incessant nod at his question, throwing herself in his arms.

"Yes, I would be honored." She mumbled back at him, love filling up her heart as everyone around them cheered them up.

And as Hobi had said, this was just the start of their forever, their happily ever after!
