to kill time before the wedding, they continued playing drinking games and everything they'd do, as well as to pass the time of waiting for joshua to go into labour. but they just had to finalise plans for joshua and jeonghan's wedding, that was literally happening in a week. thankfully, they had the whole group to help them. they'd have some of their wedding photoshoot photos on display there, as well as other photos of their concerts and everything.

"i've done everything we can to help with the planning. everything's done. just to confirm, we booked the hotel for jeonghan and his groomsmen, while i'm assuming joshua and his bridesmaids will be staying at their apartment?" their wedding planner confirmed, receiving a nod from both of them. if all else fails, myungho could plan it anyway. "alright, that's all. will you... settle the fees now?"

"yeah. i will," jeonghan nodded, following the planner out of the small meeting room to pay for whatever the two men needed to pay for, before they thanked the planner. she'd be invited to their wedding anyway, so it wasn't the last time they'd see her.

"what was the damage, babe?" joshua asked when they got to the car.

"46 million, roughly," jeonghan shrugged. "let's go home, i have to pack for that hotel thing."

"we booked everything already, right? the honeymoon suite and the flights?" joshua confirmed. 

"yes, baby. we did. in paris, just like you wanted," jeonghan nodded.

back at their apartment

"i got everything packed already, shuji, don't miss me too much before the wedding," jeonghan chuckled. 

"hannie, did you remember your vows? wrote them already?" joshua asked. 

"yes shua, i did," jeonghan nodded. 

joshua felt arms wrap around his waist, and a loud sigh inside his ear. he hated how nervous he was. but jeonghan reassured him. he hoped that there would actually be nothing wrong with his child when he gave birth. and that there would be nothing wrong with his wedding. he just had to hope and pray. he couldn't do it alone, he couldn't stay alone in the apartment. thankfully, his bridal party would be there with him. but he needed his closest ones to stay with him. he needed jihoon and myungho, if he had to stay apart from jeonghan, those were his second resorts. 

"i leave... in about 4 days, so... wanna go for a date?" jeonghan asked. 

"sure. why not," joshua smiled, before leaving the house again with jeonghan. 

they went on a simple date at a cafe near their apartment, and ignored all the stares, screams and photos that people were taking. they wanted peace, but as popular idols, they'd just learnt at that rate to just deal with it. and they were fine with doing so. 

"order whatever you want," jeonghan smiled. 

joshua ordered a lemonade and strawberry shortcake, while jeonghan got a coffee and cheesecake. both of them were discussing on names, regardless of gender. but jeonghan wanted joshua to be the one to name their child. he knew that it wasn't easy for joshua. jeonghan understood that and wanted joshua to name their child, purely his decision. but if joshua wanted him to choose a name out of some options, and joshua insisted on it, then he'd choose. both of them just hoped that however hard joshua worked to take care of their child, they'd have a smooth delivery. jeonghan didn't want to risk his child, neither did he want to risk his future husband. but a million what ifs just had to surround jeonghan's mind. what if something did happen, and he'd be tasked to choose between who to save. his future husband or his child?

"honey... i don't want you to worry about it. but if something did happen during your delivery and the weight to choose who to live was on me... who should i choose?" jeonghan suddenly spoke up.
