"Do you, Hwang Hyunjin, take Lee Felix to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

The priest stood before them, his words a gentle melody in the air. As the older uttered the words, "Yes, I do," the blonde's gaze shifted towards him.

The ravenette, clad in a sleek black Versace tuxedo, exuded an ethereal presence, his hair elegantly tied in a half ponytail. Opposite him stood the blonde, adorned in a pristine white LV tuxedo, his hair fashioned in a neat bun, radiating equal charm. It was a small, private wedding, attended only by close family and their best friends, shielded from the intrusion of reporters or business associates. This was exactly what the blonde wanted, given their circumstances.

The priest continued, the question that would seal their fates, "Do you, Lee Felix, take Hwang Hyunjin to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

The blonde's mind wandered, it became entangled in the web of memories, each one a bittersweet reminder of the love they once shared. Memories flooded his thoughts-of stolen glances and whispered promises.

But as reality settled like a heavy fog, his heart grew heavy with grief. He remembered their dreams of a grand wedding; Hyunjin always wants to proudly declare their love to the world. Yet here they stood, on the cusp of forever, but worlds apart.

Glancing at his family, their worried expressions mirrored his own inner turmoil. Each face held a silent plea, a prayer for Felix's happiness. And his friends looked on with concern, their eyes reflecting the shattered fragments of his dreams.

Turning to face his fiancé, the blonde's gaze faltered. He saw not just the man he loved, but the broken pieces of their once-unbreakable bond.

The ravenette's eyes held a gentle plea, silently begging for the words his heart dared not speak. But as the room fell into a heavy silence, the priest cleared his throat, drawing attention to the blonde's hesitation.

With tear-filled eyes, the blonde turned to his grandfather for reassurance, but even the soft smile he found couldn't dispel the cloud of doubt that engulfed him.

It gripped him like a vice, paralyzing his resolve. The weight of past wounds and shattered dreams bore down on him, drowning out the whispered promises of the past.

As all eyes bore into him, each heartbeat felt like an eternity, every breath a struggle.

Caught in the grip of uncertainty, the words "I do" remained trapped on his tongue, a reflection of the fear that held him captive. And as everyone held their breath, the blonde grappled with the heavy burden of love.
