A Script Unwritten

Epilogue: A Private Promise

"Slowly, into my heart
You secretly fell down like the first snow"

The late autumn air was crisp and cool, a gentle breeze rustling through the golden leaves that blanketed the ground. The sun shone softly through the canopy of trees, casting a warm, amber glow over the secluded garden where only the closest friends and family had gathered. The setting was intimate, peaceful-a perfect reflection of the love that had grown quietly between Kim Jung Hyun and Shin Hae Sun.

After months of keeping their relationship low-key, away from the prying eyes of the media and the public, Jung Hyun and Hae Sun had decided to take the next step in their journey together. They wanted something private, something that felt true to who they were-a quiet celebration of the bond they had nurtured over time.

The garden was filled with the soft sounds of nature, accompanied by the gentle strumming of a guitar played by a close friend. The scent of fresh flowers hung in the air, adding to the serenity of the moment. A small group of their loved ones stood in a semicircle around them, their faces glowing with happiness.

Jung Hyun stood at the end of the aisle, his heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and overwhelming love. He was dressed in a simple, yet elegant suit that complemented the natural beauty of the surroundings. His eyes were fixed on the path ahead, waiting for the moment when he would see Hae Sun appear.

And then she did.

Hae Sun stepped out from behind the trees, her gown flowing gracefully around her as she walked toward him. The dress was simple, yet stunning, with delicate lace that seemed to capture the light of the setting sun. Her hair was softly pinned back, allowing a few loose strands to frame her face, which was radiant with joy and love.

As she took her first steps down the aisle, the soft melodies of "It's You" by IU began to play.

"It's you. It's really you.
The warm eyes are still the same.

There were too many things I wanted to say. I was looking for you even in my dream"

The song, Hae Sun's favorite, perfectly encapsulated the love and emotions she felt in that moment. Each note carried the memories of their journey, and as she walked closer to Jung Hyun, the lyrics seemed to tell their story, filling the garden with a sense of quiet wonder.

As their eyes met, it was as if time stood still. Every moment, every challenge they had faced, every joy they had shared, led to this one perfect day. Jung Hyun felt a lump in his throat as he watched her approach, each step bringing her closer to him, closer to the future they would build together.

When Hae Sun reached him, she took his hands in hers, their fingers intertwining naturally, as if they had been meant to hold each other all along. The officiant, a close friend who had been with them through their journey, began to speak, but the words were almost a blur to them. All they could focus on was each other-the love in each other's eyes, the warmth in each other's touch.

As they exchanged their vows, "The Moment My Heart Flinched" by Kyuhyun, Jung Hyun's favorite song, played quietly in the background.

"I am in love with you
It's been while
From the moment I first saw you till now
In just one moment, my heart twitched toward you
Ever since then, my world has changed

You probably don't know
How I feel
Because I even hid the sounds of it moving
I'm still really afraid
But I'll take courage now"

The tender lyrics mirrored his own feelings, the quiet moments when he had realized just how much Hae Sun meant to him, how his heart had always held on to her, even in the most challenging times. The music added a layer of intimacy to the ceremony, as if they were sharing their innermost thoughts with each other and with those closest to them.

The vows they exchanged were simple, heartfelt, and deeply personal. They spoke of the love that had brought them together, the challenges they had faced, and the promises they made to stand by each other through all that was to come. There were tears, both from them and their guests, but they were tears of happiness, of the beauty that comes from a love that has been tested and found true.

As they exchanged rings, a gust of wind swept through the garden, sending a cascade of golden leaves swirling around them. It was as if nature itself was celebrating their union, showering them with its blessing.

Finally, with a smile that lit up his entire face, Jung Hyun leaned in and kissed Hae Sun, sealing their vows with the gentle press of his lips against hers. The world seemed to disappear for a moment, leaving just the two of them, wrapped in the warmth of their love.

As they pulled apart, the small crowd erupted in cheers and applause, the sound echoing through the garden. Jung Hyun and Hae Sun turned to face their loved ones, hand in hand, their hearts full of happiness.

After the ceremony, the celebration continued in the garden, with laughter, music, and the sharing of stories that had brought them all together. But it was the quiet moments that stood out-the stolen glances, the soft whispers of love, the way Jung Hyun would gently squeeze Hae Sun's hand, reminding her that they were in this together, forever.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the garden, Jung Hyun took the microphone in his hand. He turned to face Hae Sun, his heart full of love and admiration. The first few notes of "Like The First Snow" began to play, and with a voice filled with emotion, he sang for her. His voice, rich and full of feeling, carried through the air, touching everyone who listened. But for Jung Hyun, it was as if he was singing only for Hae Sun, expressing all the love he felt in his heart.

Hae Sun's eyes welled up with tears as she listened, the lyrics weaving into the fabric of their story. The song spoke of a love that endures, of the purity and beauty of first love that never fades, and it was the perfect way to end the evening, encapsulating all that they had shared and all that was to come.

As Jung Hyun finished the song, there was a brief moment of silence, as if the world itself had paused to take in the beauty of the moment. Then, as their loved ones erupted in applause, Jung Hyun and Hae Sun turned to each other, their eyes locking in a gaze full of love and promises fulfilled.They embraced, their hearts full, knowing that this was just the beginning of a lifetime together. And as the final notes of the song lingered in the air, they knew that no matter what the future held, they would face it together, with love as their guide.

As the applause slowly faded and the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the garden in a soft twilight, Jung Hyun turned to Hae Sun, his hand gently cradling her cheek. His eyes, full of love and sincerity, met hers as he spoke softly,

"Hae Sun, you've been my guiding light through the darkest times, my comfort in moments of doubt, and my joy in moments of triumph. Today, I promise you this: I will love you with all that I am, for all that you are, every single day of our lives. Thank you for choosing me, for believing in us. I will cherish you, always."

Hae Sun felt her heart swell with emotion, her eyes glistening with tears of happiness. She took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly as she replied,

"Jung Hyun, you've been my strength when I felt weak, my hope when I felt lost, and my happiness when I needed it most. I promise to love you through all the seasons of our lives, to stand by your side no matter what comes our way. You are my home, my heart, and my everything. Thank you for loving me so deeply, for being the one I've always dreamed of. I will love you, forever."

With those words, they sealed their promises with a kiss, the world around them fading away as they embraced their new life together. It was the perfect end to a perfect day, and the beginning of a love that would last a lifetime.

"Stay with me just like now
Forever"
- Kim Jung Hyun
