6 YEARS LATER
"You look absolutely stunning!" Harin exclaimed.
I smiled and looked at my reflection that was staring right back at me, nervous and excited. I took in deep breaths before I observed my outfit for the day. I wore a white v neck, flowery, lace long sleeve top as it showed off my cleavage. From the waist on, there was a belt-like that let the top of the skirt begin as it was floor-length with a train behind it. The skirt was just pure white, not puffy but slim, making my figure look skinny. My brunette, curly hair was done in a beautiful bun, teasing the top part to make it look puffy with two strands on each side of my face to frame it.
My makeup was done simply with a gold, shimmery smoke, eye shadow look and the lips were a matte, dark red.
"I'm just as nervous as you are," I replied, clasping my hands together to stop it from shaking as my eyes assessed the person in the mirror all over again.
~A year ago~
"Where are we going?" I asked, arching my eyebrow as Soobin took my hand and led me inside his father's private jet.
"It's a secret," Soobin answered with his signature smirk as he sat me down on one of the black, leather seats and himself, taking a seat beside me.
Shaking my head with a smile on my face, I nodded and leaned my head on his shoulder of his suit, realising that he had just returned home from work.
Soobin father had given Soobin the title of CEO of the Choi's Company and his mother, giving me the title of hers. Now I never really had any taste in fashion or anything like that but his mom decided to give me her title instead of some stranger as she will teach me what is what and who is who, which I was really appreciative of.
"It feels like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulder," Soobin whispered as one of his assistants approached us and had given Soobin his laptop.
"You're working now?" I questioned, bemused and kind of disappointed.
"I just need to go through my emails, it won't take long," Soobin whispered. "I promise."
"Okay," I whispered in response, yawning as I let my eyes flutter close.
"I love you Aera," I heard him whisper before his lips connected to my forehead, a smile instantly settling on my lips before the dark swallowed me whole.
"Aera, we're here," Soobin's groggy, husky voice whispered as I felt big hands grip my shoulder, shaking me alive.
I rubbed my eyes and blinked more than twice as Soobin rose from his chair, taking my hand into his before he led the both of us outside the jet. We were at an airport as the sun was already setting, returning back to it's cave. I yawned once more before a limousine pulled up in front of us, the chauffeur quickly getting out of his driver's seat before rounding his car then opening the door for us.
Soobin gestured for me to go inside and I did what I was told to do before he joined me not more than ten seconds after. The next thing I know, the limousine was moving as I looked at Soobin, still confused as I was starting to get impatient.
"Patient my darling," Soobin chuckled as if reading my thoughts.
"You know I'm not very good at that," I replied with a pout.
"We're in Greece," Soobin whispered, his eyes observing my reaction.
My heart stopped.
My dream destination was to go to Greece for all the beautiful beaches and just their culture overall.
Greece was amazingly beautiful and I have been saving up my money just to go there but now I'm here with my own boyfriend, I was going to faint for sure.
Half an hour later, the limousine stopped and the chauffeur rounded the car before opening the door for us. As I got out of the limousine, my mouth gaped open, not believing what I was seeing so I managed to blink more than a hundred times. Soobin led me down a small flight of stairs as my feet touched the small, tiny grains of sand. I closed my mouth and realised I was looking at small candles that was positioned nearly everywhere on the beach with rose petals laying down on the sand patiently.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Soobin asked quietly as he squeezed my hand tightly.
I nodded, speechless.
Soobin and I kept walking, dodging the candles from left to right until my eyes landed on a crowd. Their backs were facing towards us so I didn't know who it was but butterflies started erupting in my stomach and my curiosity grew. My heart increased its beat as the crowd turned around to see both Soobin's and I's families and friends, gathered around with one candle in their hands and big smiles on their faces as tears were starting to spring in my eyes.
"It's not my birthday," I whispered, loud enough for everyone to hear as they chuckled at my statement.
"It's not," Soobin chuckled along with them as he placed a feather kiss on my forehead before kneeling down on one knee.
I took a step back as my brain started to register what was happening in front of me. My eyes widened as tears were already starting to flow down my cheeks as Soobin reached behind him, producing a small, red, velvet box before opening it, showing off a beautiful, diamond ring.
"Kang Aera," he started with a huge grin on his face as the crowd started cheering. "I would rather not say a speech because it would be long and everyone would fall asleep."
Everyone laughed, including me.
"But just know that I love you with all my existing, beating heart and my love for you just keeps growing every second so will you, my beautiful gorgeous woman, marry me?"
By the middle of his speech, I was crying tears of joy and I was absolutely stunned and speechless that my hands flew to my mouth. Instead of saying a word, the cheers chanted yes countless times before I nodded my head and whispered, "Yes."
My answer must've taken Soobin aback because his eyes widened as he took the ring from its home before placing it on my ring finger whilst I looked at it in awe. He rose from his position slowly as he engulfed me in his arms as I threw my arms around his neck, inhaling his cologne that had me smiling.
~ END OF FLASHBACK~
I heard the front door knock, dragging me out of my daydream as Harin and Jiah turned around to see my father in a tux entering the small room that was filled with makeup and dresses. My father's eyes widened and a soft smile settled on his lips as a tear escaped his left eye, approaching me with his arms wide open. I laughed as his arms encircled my waist tightly before breaking the hug as his eyes observed my dress.
"I hate this day," my father whispered with a chuckle.
"You look so beautiful."
I tilted my head in confusion. "Why?"
"You're growing up too fast," my father whispered in response, his voice breaking. "It only felt like yesterday since you came to live with Jiah and I."
"Aw appa," I replied, kissing his cheek. "You'll have grandchildren?"
"If you think that just made me feel better," my father said with a shake of his head. "I'm going to make sure that I lock Soobin in a prison cell."
My mouth dropped open. "I'm kidding!"
"Well, Harin and I will be waiting for the both of you at the end of the aisle," Jiah said with a wink before disappearing out the door, dragging Harin along with her seeing as she wanted to touch up her makeup but couldn't do so.
"Are you ready?" my father asked, straightening his composure before taking my hand into his.
"Ready as I'll ever be," I answered with a huge grin on my face.
I was going to become a Choi.

4 YEARS LATER
"Eomma!" a little four-year-old girl skipped towards me with a painting in her hand.
"Hi sweetheart," I replied as I caught her in my arms and kissed her forehead, leaving a magazine that was in my hands on my study desk before picking her up in my arms.
The little girl had brunette hair and brown eyes that she inherited from her mother and that little, cheeky smirk from her father. I kissed both of her cheeks whilst walking towards our enormous living room with modern and expensive interior.
Soobin and I wanted to purchase a double, storey house that didn't have anyone walk past in awe but with a bit of persuading from the twins, my father and Harin, why not go all out? The mansion Soobin and I bought was two storeys high that took up a large amount of land with an outdoor, huge pool.
"Do you like it?" my daughter shoved a picture in front of my face with a cheeky smile that had three, stick figured drawings, assuming that was her family.
I nodded, biting my lip from laughing. "I love it."
"Now I have to go show daddy!" she exclaimed happily once I set her down on her feet.
"Yes, please do darling," I whispered in response, suddenly feeling the tiredness washing over me as I set myself down on the red, velvet sofa just as the doorbell rang.
Before I could even say come in, the intruders busted the door open with four emerging figures entering the living room with happy faces. Harin strutted inside with a phone attached to her ear, shouting into the phone as she gave me a wink on the way to my office. I have made Harin my assistant after Soobin's mom had officially given me the title of CEO to her company.
Taki picked up my daughter and spun her around, making her laugh whilst Maki only stared at his brother as if he was some stupid, child. I looked around for the fourth person but to only find my husband, Soobin, in a suit and tie looking as mouth-drooling as ever, sit beside me and kissing the side of my face.
"Did little Naeunie grow up already?" Taki asked my daughter as she giggled childishly.
"I'm big Naeunie now," Naeun replied with a cheeky smile.
"I want kids now," Taki whispered in our direction making me chuckle and Soobin scoff.
"How's the other one?" Maki asked, wriggling his eyebrows as his eyes were looking at my swollen belly.
I placed my hand over Soobin's one that had been laying on my belly, patting it softly. "This one's better than ever."
Maki chuckled and crossed his arms at Taki who set Naeun down on her feet before she speeded out of the living room to god knows where. I laid my head on Soobin's shoulder as he kissed my forehead once again before rubbing my belly gently as Taki approached us and crossed his arms, his eyes focused on my belly as I narrowed my eyebrows on him.
"What?" I asked, bemused.
"What if you were carrying an alien inside of you?"
I scoffed. "Does Naeun look like an alien to you?"
Taki nodded in understanding. "Tch."
Maki pinched the bridge of his nose before smacking the back of his brother's head, making Taki look at his brother in pain. "Damn man."
"You're so abusive Maki," Soobin commented as Taki took a seat on the sofa, sighing in content.
"Taki's fault for being stupid."
We all laughed as Taki stuck out his tongue at Maki who only shrugged and smirked. Soobin retracted his hand from my belly and sighed in content as I could feel his tense body relax right beside me, knowing that he gets to finally have a break.
Soobin has been carrying his company's weight on his shoulders for years now and he only gets to take a day off here and there for our daughter, our second child that's coming and obviously me. He has been in countless meetings and sometimes, he even needs his father to take his spot because the pressure it's just too much but with a bright little sunshine, Naeun, he is able to get back to on his feet.
"It feels like I'm on vacation," Soobin whispered in relaxation as he placed an arm around my shoulder.
"I've been on vacation for too long," I replied with a chuckle as I patted my swollen belly.
"I'm home!" a familiar, feminine voice echoed through the foyer to the living room as my eyes instantly lit up whilst Soobin beside me, groaned loudly in annoyance.
I watched a seventeen-year-old girl who had long, straight brunette hair strut inside the living room as she threw her black backpack onto the sofa, stretching and yawning before falling onto Maki who stared at Sooyeon with a pissed off expression.
"How's my favourite sister-in-law doing?" Sooyeon asked as something glinted in her brown eyes.
Sooyeon went from a ballerina to a damn badass, just like her brother in high school. Sooyeon has been through countless events that had literally messed up her emotions and her feelings, just because of the money her family possessed. Whenever we were around, Sooyeon would always plaster a cheerful mask, thinking that we wouldn't see through her façade but she was wrong.
We saw everything.
Soobin has tried helping her countless times, being there for her and even I, tried helping her by taking her out and letting her choose some of my newest designs for the company. We had tried to convince her to talk to us about the things she was going through but she would either change the subject or she was doing great.
We watched Sooyeon straighten her black, leather jacket as she sat up, eyeing the living room with blank eyes. I tilted my head, trying to decipher her but I didn't get anything. I sighed, looking at Soobin who bit his lips and ran a hand through his hair in frustration before kissing my temples.
"My favourite sister-in-law!" Taki exclaimed loudly, trying to break the weird atmosphere.
"Taki, are you still lonely?" Sooyeon asked as we all laughed at her joke.
"So mean," Taki replied, ignoring the question as he crossed his arms with a pout. "I'm married."
"Oh I forgot you're married," Sooyeon responded with a bite of her lip before scratching her head.
"Sooyeon Imo!" Naeun exclaimed excitedly at the sight of her aunt.
Naeun laughed as she ran into Sooyeon's arms as she kissed everywhere on the small, little girl's face. Sooyeon patted the top of her head before standing up, picking Naeun up and twirled her around with a genuine smile plastered on her face.
"Let's make sure Naeun doesn't turn out to be like me or her Imo," Soobin mumbled.
I looked at Soobin who looked at me with admiration.
"She's going to be like me."
Soobin laughed and shook his head.
"I love you Choi Aera," Soobin said quietly.
"And I love you Choi Soobin," I replied.
