LIMERENCE. / KTH

twenty-eighth thought

i feel kind of sick.

i'm not used to this kind of treatment today,

but it feels good.

i am being brushed with powder

and at the same time,

another person is applying

pale lipstick on me.

minji is curling my hair,

and i can feel the hot steams

and my eyebrows scrunch up.

the dress is a bit uncomfortable,

but it looks beautiful,

so i'm not able to complain.

"you look gorgeous," they all say in unison,

and i smile warmly,

because i think for once,

i actually do.

and today is my day.

"twenty minutes," a hurried voice speaks,

and all the girls start to panic,

and makeup items are flying everywhere.

they help me get into my matching heels,

and i take a few practice steps.

i hope i don't embarrass myself

and trip on the carpet when i'm walking.

they fix up my hair,

put on a crown and on top of that,

a veil,

and they ask for me to stand up.

they all squeal in delight,

holding each others' hands

and give me compliments

all at the same time.

i'm feeling very happy,

and i hope you like my look today.

although i think i look finished,

the girls spend the final minutes

fixing up stuff they deem a little messed up,

and i don't have time to look in the mirror

a last time.

i exit the dressing room,

and they lead me to the church,

and i am careful not to rip my dress

by stepping on it.

i walk confidently,

beaming a proud smile,

feeling like a queen.

the door slowly opens,

and the wedding theme

starts blasting right away.

i'm holding a colorful bouquet

in my hand,

and the girls stand behind,

scattering to find their

position on the stadium.

i walk slowly,

feeling everyones' eyes on me.

i bite my lip,

fearing that i'll do something wrong.

but then i look up.

i see you,

in your own suit.

you look so good,

and i avoid to blush.

"wow," you mouth,

your eyes widen,

which makes me smile even brighter.

i stare at your groomsmen,

and i see all your friends.

jungkook's one of them.

he gives me a thumbs up,

smiling as well,

and i return the same back.

i make my way to you safely,

and you don't take your eyes off of me,

and i feel my body heat up.

the priest starts saying our vows,

but i'm too busy looking at you

to pay attention to most of what

he's saying.

"kim taehyung,

do you take kwon areum

to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

you respond,

"i do"

almost immediately.

the priest turns to me,

adjusting his glasses.

"kwon areum,

do you take kim taehyung

to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"i do," i say, mesmerized by your face.

"you may now kiss the bride."

you go in almost immediately,

to which i reply with a chuckle,

and i my heart lights up,

as it does with every kiss you give me.

everyone cheers,

and shouts our names.

you take my hand,

giving me a glance,

before you lead me out of the building.
