Your Wedding

This oneshot has been in my mind for more than a year already. It's inspired by Jun.K's Your Wedding so before reading you might want to listen to it just to get into the right mood ^^

Also a huge thank you to Kimi-cchi134 from JJP Amino for making this awesome poster for this and for doing an art collaboration with me <3

Jaebum had been afraid of this day for a while. The day his fantasy's would have to stop and he had to face reality. The day an invitation to a wedding would find his way to his home, a wedding he rather would not like to go as this person was his crush for almost all his live but he had to go because the person was also his best friend. But sadly that had happened just the day before.

The invitation was a bit unexpected and he hadn't been prepared for the ache that had immediately spread in his chest after reading it. An ache that had left him awake through the whole night, tossing from one side of his bed to another. And he knew that right now he looked terrible, his eyes red from the lack of sleep but even if his body screamed at him to rest his mind wouldn't let him.
The envelope was lying on the small table in front of him. He kept on looking at the beautiful lettering, it looked like it wanted to describe the person behind the name. Park Jinyoung.

Jinyoung had been his childhood friend, his classmate from primary school until their acceptance into the same university where they took different paths to reach their dreams. Jaebeom couldn't remember exactly the moment he fell for the other but he fell for him hard. It had taken him a while to realize that he wasn't really interested in girls and getting a girlfriend but rather was interested in boys, well, more precisely, this one who every morning would wait at the bus stop for him to go to school with him.

They had grown apart once they had graduated and were accepted to different universities. On special occasions they would meet along side with others from their class. At their latest meeting a couple weeks back, Jinyoung had not said a word about him getting a girlfriend nor getting married soon. He had talked about his moving process as he preferred living closer to the school he will be a teacher He told them that the past few weeks in which he had to take the subway to get to both had been miserable for him. Being stuck in that small space squeezed inside by other people and getting hit with elbows and bags into his rips were things he gladly declined. He had talked about how excited he was to be able to meet the children soon and start as a teacher assistant. Not one word about a woman whose name was next to Jinyoung's on the invitation. Nothing about the big day just a couple weeks later which will be the start of a new chapter of his life which he will be spending with someone else. This probably was the reason why the invitation had shocked him so much. He knew that as the good friend he kept on pretending to be and had always wanted to be for Jinyoung, there was no way he wouldn't go to the wedding, congratulate him and wish him and his wife all the best.

"What's going on Jaebeom hyung? What's with that long face and all those sighs?", the voice of his new roommate Yugyeom, broke his train of thoughts. Yugyeom was a few years younger than Jaebeom, they had met at university when Jaebeom was in his senior year and Yugyeom in his first year. Both had been in the same department and so often their paths crossed at their buildings and Jaebeom couldn't miss how every teacher would have love and hate relationship with the younger because of his talent but also because of his laziness. Once Jaebeom had graduated from university and was now a full time worker who wanted to live in a apartment that wasn't the size of a shoe box there was no way around but looking for a roommate so he could afford a bigger place. Just two months ago his former roommate had told him that he will move out soon and that he should look for someone else quickly as he would feel bad if Jaebeom couldn't keep the place because of him. And so he had made an advertisement for it. Soon his phone was almost exploding with all the messages from people looking for a place and he didn't know how he would be able to find the right person to live with only to see that one of his saved contacts and sent him a message about his add. It was Yugyeom who was looking for a place now, he had written that 'It's time to stop depending on my parents' but he was scared to live on his own right away and so would like to live in a shared apartment. Shortly after Yugyeom already started to move his belongings in to said apartment.
