오십육 take my hands now

I chuckled at that and then smiled sadly, "I'm so sorry that I haven't been home much this past year, dad. I didn't imagine my life would move this fast, or I would've spent more time with you."

"It's okay, cupcake. We both knew this moment would come, it just happened a lot sooner than expected. You've made a family of your own now, so I have to let you go... Even though it's hard."

"You're m-my family too," I sniffled as the tears freely rolled down my cheeks now. "I wouldn't be h-here if it wasn't for you. All my life, you've loved me, raised me up, and helped me dream. I'm so g-grateful for that— thank you for always being there for me... I love you, dad~"

"I love you too, cupcake. Always," he said brokenly, leaving me even more emotional.

I pressed my cheek to his shoulder as we danced throughout the song quietly. Keeping him in a tight embrace, I did wish we had more time. Because after tonight, I was off to my honeymoon, and my dad would be long gone in Toronto. Without me. Jungkook was my home now.

After the exquisite dinner, it was time for the cake cutting. My husband guided me to the main table as 'Marry Me' by Jason Derulo sweetly blasted across the room. The centerpiece was a four-layer wedding cake with bright flowers beautifully designed just like Jungkook's drawing.

The wedding cake was so beautiful, and all the details must have taken hours to accomplish, and that almost made me feel bad for destroying it. Almost.

Jungkook had his hand on top of mine around the knife, and we sliced the first piece together. Of course, I had smashed it onto his gorgeous face, and the crowd roared with laughter. He spluttered out a gasp and stared at me, his mouth hanging open in disbelief.

I dissolved into giggles and pecked his cheeks to remove the sweet icing off before he could retaliate. Finally, I licked the white glaze on his lips, stealing a kiss while at it. After pulling away with a happy grin, we started to feed each other. Our chocolate cake was so delicious, it must have tasted like heaven.

"God, it's so sweet~" I moaned in delight as Jungkook placed another forkful of cake into my mouth.

"Yeah, but you taste sweeter," he smirked at me and winked naughtily, earning a soft smack on his chest.

"Hey, behave~"

"No promises."

"Our parents are watching us."

"So what? I'm a married man!"

I couldn't help but grin at him, shaking my head in mock disapproval. Moments later, the waiters served a slice of cake to everyone, and then our MCs opened up the dance floor to get the night going.

For the next hour or so, Jungkook and I sat on some majestic throne-like chairs where the attendees could come up to congratulate us and take pictures. The wedding party, our families and friends, Bang Sihyuk with some of the Big Hit staff.
