The newly-weds first dance was beautiful and so was the rest of the ceremony. I had never thought that I would see Namjoon dancing but I had to admit that he was pretty good, compared to what I saw when my aunt sent me a video about him. He made quite a progress and thanks to his hard-work, the cheers and claps were even louder. Then, we sang an old love song together while the lights were turned off and it was so emotional that I even shed a tear. What made it even more special was the fact that the only sources of light were the candles in our hands. It was picturesque as the hall was illuminated by hundreds of tiny flames and the sweet melody lured into our hearts.

Well, I wouldn’t say that the next minutes were more memorable because I was literally forced to stand among the girls who were craving to be a part of the bouquet tossing. I had no intention of getting it but I wasn’t in the least satisfied when Kang Gain was the one who grabbed the bouquet in the end.

At least one person was definitely having fun and that was my one and only cousin. Taehyung was jamming wildly to every of the songs and even hummed the lyrics for them. It was all thanks to Park Jimin who decided to sing something more captivating than trot hits and the dance floor was soon filled with enthusiastic couples. Taetae dragged me alone and since there was nothing else I could do, I gave in and we started dancing. To be precise, what I was doing couldn’t be considered dancing but I was trying. Grandpa and dad also asked me to a dance and it was quite weird because I think that I hadn’t danced with them since I was 6 years old. At that time, I was crazy about everything that was new to me and it was one of them. It was one hell of an era.

I can’t really remember for all the things that happened during the next few hours because I was either bored or talked with a friend of a friend’s friend. My cousin sometimes joined me, especially when we encountered my aunt’s best friend’s daughter who was only 4 years old. Taehyung was always good with kids and they got along as soon as they saw each other. I could tell that he wasn’t totally sober but he didn’t behave badly, so I tried not to think about it.

However, after our playing time with the little girl, he seemed much paler than he should have, hence I had to test the waters.

“Alright, Taetae, you don’t look well. How many shots did you have?” I cupped his chin quite furiously and forced him to face me. You can tell just by looking at someone if they are drunk or not and he definitely was! He had quite an amused expression displaying on his face while he was pondering.

“I dunno.” He shrugged his shoulder but started counting on his hands. “1, 2, maybe 4? Wait, 4 is after 2, right?” He looked at me with his puppy eyes and I was aware of the fact that he wasn’t that type of drunk guy who started picking fights or got emotional but I still didn’t get used to see him acting like this.

Gosh, where were his parents? I knew that they booked a room at the motel on the other side of the street but if they were already at their accommodation, I had to drag him all the way there. Around 2am, probably without the street lights on and totally alone. No, thank you, I didn’t want that.

“No, 4 is after 3, you genius.”

“Really?” He chuckled with a childish grin but I just rolled my eyes. I needed plan B. I needed to find his parents.

“Is there an earthquake? Omo, Jia, it’s an earthquake! Awesome, it’s an earthquake!” He piped up as his current state threw him off balance and he would have fallen to the floor if I hadn’t caught him in time.

“Oh, great…” I murmured under my nose as I slung my arms around his shoulder to make sure that he wouldn’t fall and make a total idiot out of himself. I pushed him forward and tried to manoeuvre the two of us among the crowd to get to the garden.

Luckily, we didn’t bump into anyone who would ask us what happened, even when I wanted my cousin to sit down on the bench. As expected, he shook his head and didn’t budge, not even a bit.

“No-no, Jiamia!” He waggled his finger. “Taetae doesn’t want to sit down.” He stuck his tongue out at me when I already felt a need to slap him.

“Do you need help?” I heard a worried voice from behind and came in sight with the photography crew. Seokjin was the most frightened out of the three and he came up to us without waiting for my answer. Beside him, Yoongi merely stifled a yawn while his hands were lazily tugged into his pocket. Jungkook stared at us, probably not sure about what was going on but followed his hyungs right away.

“No, thanks. I’ll manage on my own.” I smiled that fake sort of smile and tried to sound as confident as possible but they didn’t seem to believe me.

“What she needs is you; her cute photographer.” Taehyung blurted out and pointed to Jungkook who was quite taken aback because of the nickname.

I mentally cursed myself for telling my cousin about our talk with the photographer but who knew that he would make such a big fuss about it?

“What?” Jin and Yoongi croaked in chorus.

“She likes you, Jonghyun. She likes you a lot.” Taetae cooed with high-pitched voice and flashed a knowing grin.

Oh gosh, I seriously wanted to curl up and die. It was humiliating because he was telling the truth but it still didn’t feel right. For God’s sake, I wanted Jungkook to know it from me and not from my crazy drunk cousin!

“I’m Jungkook.” Mr. Innocent cleared his throat and glared at him but he didn’t seem to notice his slight frustration.

“I know that, you silly!” He snorted like he was hurt and swatted my helping hand away. As a result, he started stumbling on the pavement and almost fell to the ground but Seokjin managed to grab his hand and prevented him from further undesirable consequences. “But believe me, Jongdae. She was talking about you the whole day and I know her and I know that she’s totally in love with you.” He prattled proudly and gave us one of his ridiculous drunken smiles. Then, he started fidgeting in Mr. Hot Pink’s arms but he still didn’t let him go.

I thanked God that he was there because if it wasn’t for Seokjin, we would probably be in an ambulance car by now, heading to the nearest hospital. I was so thankful for him because I couldn’t even handle my cousin, not to mention my crazily rumbling thoughts! I was totally embarrassed, my heart was beating like a drum and the air became so hot, I was afraid that I might faint.

It wouldn’t have been an understatement to say that Jeon Jungkook was baffled. He was more than baffled; he was literally shaking from the sudden confession. I guess Tae’s words finally dawned on him but instead of nervously biting his lower lip, his eyebrows were knitted together in question.

“She already has you, so why me?” He flung his arms in the air and clenched his jaw. His eyes seemed to lose their prominent glint as he looked at me like he had prosecuted me for something terrible.

“What?”

“What?” I managed a sentence out and the others were incredulous as well. After Seokjin’s yell, Yoongi also caught up with what was going on and his eyes widened in surprise. Taehyung looked like as if his eyes were going to pop out in disbelief.

“I’m her cousin, my friend.” He puffed his chest out in pride and I saw as the situation finally made sense to Mr. Innocent.

His shoulders slumped at ease, his cheeks were heating up a bit and his eyes became shiny again. He nervously looked down and let his eyes linger on his toes instead. Even his ears turned red.

“You really thought that he was my boyfriend?” I couldn’t help but laugh at this awfully tangled situation. It was too much to handle. How could he think that we were together with Taehyung? I would never ever date a guy like my cousin! Not that he was a bad guy but he was definitely not my type!

“Yeah. You danced together, he was whispering into your ears, you were feeding him food, so you two definitely acted like a couple.” He stumbled on his words which sounded so brittle.

I shook my head, still unable to believe that he thought that we were dating. But come to think of it, if I were in his shoes, I would probably think the same way due to the fact that we were pretty close, both figuratively and physically. Not to mention that we were at the same age and even sat down at the same table. Still, it was so bizarre. Me and Taehyung? Ugh, what on Earth?

“Will you invite me to your wedding with Jonghoon?” Taetae said crossly and looked at me with his puppy eyes. I really felt a need to facepalm. He acted like a 5 year-old kid when he got drunk but his confusion with Jungkook’s name was something that I had never experienced before.

“Jungkook.” Yoongi corrected him but I saw as the corner of his lips was curving into a smirk.

Okay, I knew that it was time for me to scoop Taehyung up before something even more embarrassing happen, so I gave Seokjin a brief nod and he let me take over his place.

“I’ll help him to his room but I would like to talk to you afterwards.” I said to Mr. Innocent who finally looked up at me. As we met each other’s gazes in the dim light of the garden, I realised that he had the most mesmerizing onyx-black eyes. His orbs were beautiful yet mysterious and shined dangerously yet lovingly. Oh gosh, his presence didn’t help at all.

He nodded in submission and if I knew that it was the last time I saw him, I would have said something to him. But by the time I got back, he was gone. The wedding reception came to an end and the photography crew left. I didn’t realise how much time had passed since I busied myself with assisting Taehyung who started sobering up. Unfortunately, it meant that he had to go through awful and frequent vomiting.

I stayed beside him for hours and didn’t even have the time to call his parents, so I ended up tugging him to bed and watching as he finally dozed off. His parents came back to the motel after the wedding ended but it was too late. Jungkook was already gone.
