"Who's looking good today? "

I asked as I walked into the room. I had a big bright smile and an eye ligament on my face. Good thing there was something covering them up or else my best friend would have noticed tears in my eyes, and I didn't want him to.

"What are you doing?"

JungKook asked me without answering my question. Even if I couldn't see him I still knew that he was smiling from ear to ear. I also knew he was struggling with a tie, he never got it right. The thought of him messing it up again and again made me chuckle. But after that even more tears filled my eyes and I just thanked for ligament for absorbing it.

"You know... I can't see you, right? That's the tradition isn't it?"

I tried to make fun. I knew he would have noticed shakiness in my voice on daily basis. But today was very important, today was so exciting for him I didn't know if he understood a thing I said. I bet if I was in his place, I would faint.

"Only the groom can't see the bride, and I guess the bride can't see the groom."

He corrected me without paying too much attention to the fact that it was a joke. I finally took off the eye ligament and quickly wiped off the tear drops before he turned around. When he did I was already smiling. Biggest, fakest, white teeth smile spread across my face as I saw his eyes fill with joy. I could not handle the happiness he felt.

"I know..."

I whispered as he walked up to me and I started fixing up the tie, which he messed up as I had guessed. We didn't need any words, I knew what was going on in his heart and in his mind. But he didn't know what was going on in my head. He looked so handsome and innocent.

"I'm so nervous."

He confessed and I noticed how hard it was for him to breathe.

"Oh no, did I make it too tight."

I grabbed on to the tie that I just put on right. It was an excuse to touch him again, I was perfectly aware that this tie had nothing to do with JungKook's heavy breathing. I just ignored his statement about being nervous. I couldn't do it any other way. If I thought of him nervous, I would get uneasy myself, and of course, I would have to think about the reason why he was nervous.

And I knew that reason, it was her. The woman of his dreams. The girl that stood in the place that I always wished to stand in. His girlfriend, his fiancée, his wife-to-be.

"It has nothing to do with the tie."

He gently took both of my hands with which I was holding onto his tie like the last chance to survive, and held them in his palms for a second. All of my shakiness went away. There was no one else in the room. Just two of us. And for a second I felt happy.

"JungKook, you shouldn't be nervous."

I said and grinned. He looked perfect. I couldn't imagine how lucky his bride must have felt. I had no doubt that she looked stunning as well, but I haven't seen her today yet.

I woke up earlier and went away from the bridal party. I wanted to hide just for a second, so I would manage to control all the feels that came up to me, but instead I just went to see JungKook, it was the worst strategy ever. It made feel even more confused.

"I shouldn't? But I am."

He let my hands go and grabbed onto his shirt sleeves trying to make it look flawless. I laughed at him, it already looked amazing, but this guy never saw himself in the light that I did.

"You shouldn't. If it's the right decision, you should only feel excitement."

He quickly looked in to my eyes surprised by my words. Millions of thought were obviously running in his head.

"Can I ask you something?"

I nodded like it wasn't a big deal, but my heart started beating like crazy.

"Yes, of course. JungKook, you can ask me anything, I'm your best friend, and I'm here for you."

Am I though? I'm selfish, I'm here because I couldn't stay away from him. I wasn't a good best friend, he didn't deserve to have someone as shady as me beside him. I was here for myself, not for him.

"Am I making a right decision?"

It took all of my strength not to shout and answer calmly.

"You know I can't answer that. Only you can tell me that, listen to your heart."

I put my palm onto the left side of his chest and felt his heart bouncing inside. I wanted to close my eyes and listen to it forever. But I couldn't. So I just stepped backwards so I wouldn't get any more temptation.

He sighed and turned around. I saw him glancing at himself in the mirror and I smiled again. Who am I to judge his choice? I was stupid to think that he can only be happy with me. I felt my heart warm up as the realization stroke.

I loved him so badly that seeing him happy, made me feel happy. I got excited. It was my best friend's big day, and I wouldn't miss it for the world. If you love someone you let them go, and right now I was about to let my love fly away, let him get the life JungKook always wanted...

Maybe I won't be in it as his wife, as his loved one. But I will still belong next to him, as his best friend. Because if I had to choose between erasing him completely and saving our friendship, even if it didn't mean anything else for him, I would have saved our friendship at any cost. Because losing JungKook for such a foolish reason was equal to death.

"I can't believe you're getting married today."

I whispered and put my hands on his shoulders from behind. I made him turn to the mirror with his full body so he could see what I saw. A young handsome man ready to meet his fate.

"I can't either. Thank you for being here with me."

My eyes teared up. But I was crying out of joy so I didn't even bother to hide them. JungKook quickly noticed the reflection of tears and looked at me. I was crying and smiling at him. I bet my make-up messed up within seconds.

"I look like a fool."

I said it out loud and he grinned wiping my tears away.

"Please, don't cry, you will make me cry."

He dramatically pretended to sob and laughed immediately. My goal was accomplished, I had no doubts he forgot about being nervous.

"I think I should go check on your fiancée I'm her bridesmaid after all."

He nodded to my statement and as I was about to go, he grabbed me and pulled me into a hug. It came out of nowhere and surprised me, but I hugged him back at instant.

"I love you."

He whispered and I smiled rubbing my face against his shoulder so he wouldn't see my stupid grin.

"Me too."

I closed my eyes.

"Please, say it. I need to know."

He was begging and I couldn't resist it.

"I love you too JungKook, you are my best friend."
