Chapter Text
“take deep breaths, joon, you’ll be okay.”
“but what if i fuck up, hyung?”
“kim namjoon,” yoongi sighs, gripping namjoon’s shoulders and making him look yoongi in the eye. “listen to me. have you ever fucked up in the relationship? little things, not big things. forgetting the groceries, going back to smoking, so on and so forth?”
namjoon furrows his eyebrows in confusion at this. “yeah..?”
“has seokjin shown that he’s loved you any less when those things happen?”
“no…”
“then he won’t get seriously mad if you mess up your vows, or something little like that,” yoongi says firmly. “be honest with yourself, joon -- he’d find it cute. don’t beat yourself over the thought too much, okay?”
namjoon takes a deep breath before nodding, and yoongi smiles at him gently. he looks nice in his black suit, namjoon notes with a smile of his own, looking softer and younger, especially since he had dyed his hair back to black. “thanks, hyung. i’m just.. nervous.”
“anyone would be on their wedding day.” there it is. wedding day . namjoon still can’t believe that he’s actually marrying seokjin.
“you’re just here to fix up my looks, not to make me feel nervous,” namjoon jokes weakly, and yoongi snorts, patting namjoon’s shoulder -- “come on. want to go see your dad?”
namjoon turns so that he’s staring at himself in the mirror, and yoongi stands next to him. “what’s wrong, joon-ah?”
“i’m not dreaming, am i, hyung?” namjoon whispers. “this -- this isn’t a dream, right? i’m actually going to marry seokjin?”
“of course you are,” yoongi says, and there isn’t any hint of snarkiness in his voice, and namjoon watches as a small smile appears on yoongi’s face. “you’re going to do well, joonie. i promise you. but come on, i’m sure your dad and brother want to see you.”
namjoon takes a deep breath and nods, and he lets yoongi take his hand and lead him outside the small room, to the hallways where his dad and jimin were waiting. jimin bounces up immediately, running up to namjoon and hugging him tightly, looking up at him with a bright smile. “hyungie! you’re gonna get married! ”
“i sure am, jiminnie,” namjoon chuckles, and okay, maybe his voice did crack a bit and there’s already tears in his eyes, but he won’t admit it aloud. he looks up at his dad, who’s smiling at him gently, and he holds out his arm. his dad approaches him and hugs him with jimin, kissing namjoon’s forehead as he mumbles, “you’re getting married off today. next thing i know, i’m a grandpa.”
“you didn’t reach that age yet,” namjoon jokes, and his dad chuckles as well. namjoon hides his face against his dad’s shoulder, mumbling, “i’m nervous..”
“you know, so was i, when i married your mom,” namjoon’s dad says, and namjoon can tell jimin’s listening intently, always so eager to learn more. “i forgot my vows midway through talking. i ended up staring at her and i just blurted out, “ wow, i really love you ”. got lots of laughter and whoops from it, and i got your mom to blush, too. it was embarrassing, but we pulled through. you’ll be fine.”
“yeah, hyungie!” jimin says, pulling away and putting his hands on his hips. he looks adorable -- his suit was the exact same as namjoon’s -- white with a pink tie -- and the front pocket of his little jacket had a pin of a lavender rose. namjoon’s positive that taehyung has a matching one, but of a venus. “you can do it!! it’s okay if you mess up. jinnie hyung really, really, really loves you!”
“thank you, jiminnie,” namjoon smiles gently, patting his head. “it’s -- we don’t have that big of a guest list, but is everyone here..?”
“i’m pretty sure,” namjoon’s dad nods, and he pulls away from namjoon to pat his shoulder. “go on with yoongi-ah, okay? i’m sure seokjin will be out in a few minutes, too.”
“wait!” namjoon says before they leave, and he bends down in front of jimin, pulling out two little boxes from his pocket, handing them to jimin. “you know what to do, right?”
“when the man asks for the rings, i give mine to you and taetae gives his to jinnie hyung!” jimin says with a grin, taking the boxes and picking up his little basket with pink flower petals -- namjoon finds it cute how he and taehyung had insisted to still be the flower boys. “i take the pink one, taetae takes the white one!”
“good,” namjoon nods with a smile. “don’t show them to jinnie hyung, okay? make sure he doesn’t see how the rings look like.”
“okay, hyung!” jimin nods, and he waves goodbye to namjoon and yoongi as he skips out of the hallway to go to where seokjin is. namjoon’s dad nods at them with a gentle smile before leaving to go to his seat, and namjoon stands to look over at yoongi.
yoongi smiles at namjoon reassuringly, and beckons for him to follow. “come on. let’s get you in position.”
“hoseok, you’re positive i look okay?” seokjin frets nervously, looking over himself in the mirror, trying to fix his hair, but he yelps when hoseok slaps his hand away. “ow! what’s that for?!”
“you look perfectly fine, hyung,” hoseok huffs, crossing his arms. “don’t mess up your hair. or your appearance.”
hoseok sighs, uncrossing his arms and approaching seokjin. he rubs his shoulder reassuringly and whispers, “you’re going to be fine, hyung. you’ll do good.”
“but what if i mess up the whole wedding?” seokjin whispers, tearing up at the thought. “what if he -- what if he suddenly decides he doesn’t want to marry me at all? or if he’s not ready?”
“namjoon’s been talking his ass off about this wedding and worrying that you would be the one to be not ready,” hoseok chuckles. “you’re going to be fine . take a deep breath, hyung. did you take your medicine today? maybe that’s why you’re so jittery and nervous.”
seokjin does a double take, suddenly thinking over whether or not he took his medicine. “i.. i didn’t take the second dose for the anxiety yet.”
“go do that right now, hyung,” hoseok says firmly, and seokjin scrambles to find the pill bottle. as soon as he finds it, he grabs his water bottle and swallows two pills down with the water. he sets the two bottles aside, and turns to hoseok again. “that’s good, hyung. anything else you’ve forgotten? is there supposed to be a rose in your front pocket?”
seokjin nods, and he picks up the simple white rose, tucking it into the front pocket of his jacket. “i-i think that’s it.”
hoseok nods at him reassuringly. “chin up, seokjinnie hyung. don’t look so nervous. keep your head up, and don’t get pouty. you’ll be fine.”
seokjin nods again, and hoseok smiles before leading him out the room to meet taehyung and namjoon’s mom. as soon as he sees seokjin, taehyung says, “hyung’s super pretty!!”
“was i never pretty before?” seokjin jokes, but taehyung exclaims, “you were always pretty! you’re just super pretty now!”
“thank you, taetae.”
“i feel like it was just yesterday when you were officially introduced to us by namjoon,” namjoon’s mom says, reaching up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind seokjin’s ear. “and now the two of you are getting married. you’ve both grown up so much, even tae and jimin have as well..”
seokjin looks down bashfully, cheeks turning a rosy pink, little chrysanthemums and white roses weaving through his hair. “th-thank you.. mom.”
namjoon’s mom’s eyes light up happily, and she pulls seokjin into a hug, rubbing his back and whispering, “if your parents were here to see this.. to see you get married.. they’d be so proud of you and how much you’ve grown. i know that namjoon really wanted to have his friend -- yugyeom? -- bring them back, like how they did for taehyung’s birthday like he told me, but yugyeom apparently needs rest. but apparently, he does have a quick little message from your parents.”
seokjin will admit he tears up a bit at this -- the mere thought that namjoon had even tried to get yugyeom to bring his and tae’s parents back, even for just a bit, to witness him getting married, was enough for him to be so grateful. “thank you for telling me.”
“taetae!”
taehyung perks up at the sound of jimin’s voice, and they all turn to see jimin racing over with two little boxes in his hands and a basket. he stops in front of taehyung and hands him the white box, whispering dramatically, “it’s the ring!”
taehyung gasps dramatically and takes it from jimin, putting it in his own basket filled with white petals. “thanks, jiminnie!”
namjoon’s mom chuckles at them and coos, “hey, i think we should go get ready, you two.”
“actually,” seokjin pipes up nervously, and he takes a deep breath before continuing, “could you -- could you be the one to walk me to joon..?”
it’s silent for a bit before namjoon’s mom breaks out into a smile, nodding. “of course i can. it won’t be the same as your parents, but i hope it’ll be a similar feeling for you.”
“i’ll go take the kids where they should be, then,” hoseok smiles at them, before shooing off the two, leading them to where they should be.
“you’ll do great,” namjoon’s mom reassures seokjin. “don’t worry if you happen to forget your vows, or if you end up crying, or anything like that. it happens. it won’t ruin the wedding. namjoon’s been worrying over that as well, so i’m sure you would’ve been fretting over it.”
“i’ll try not to worry,” seokjin takes a deep breath, and he holds out his arm, letting namjoon’s mom link her arm through his. “i don’t think we should keep namjoonie waiting for long.”
“why didn’t you walk seokjin down the aisle, hoseokie?” namjoon says nervously, looking at hoseok. “did -- did he back out? did something happen?”
“no, no,” hoseok chuckles. “he decided that someone else should walk him down instead.”
namjoon nods slowly, wringing his hands. he adjusts the red rose in the breast pocket of his jacket, waiting for seokjin to come out nervously until yoongi nudges him and says, “guess who’s here.”
namjoon’s head snaps up, and he can feel himself freeze up. he watches as taehyung and jimin come out, and he can faintly hear his own version of the wedding march playing by the pianist -- this one a lot softer, smoother, not as dramatic to fit in with the soft and pretty atmosphere around them. taehyung and jimin are both giggling to one another as they throw the flowers, a bit too excitedly, but the guests don’t seem to mind when some of it ends up in their hair, opting to shake their heads fondly.
then namjoon sees him.
seokjin .
namjoon feels his breath catch in his throat, unable to tear his eyes away from seokjin being led down the aisle by namjoon’s mom. he’s grateful that jungkook even brought up the topic that he and seokjin should have matching suits, because namjoon still can’t get over how good seokjin looks in light pink, his soft brown hair not too much of a contrast against his clothes, matching it quite well.
taehyung and jimin soon reach namjoon and grin up at him, hurrying to stand with one of their hyungs -- jimin with yoongi, taehyung with hoseok. seokjin’s suddenly in front of him, being handed off by namjoon’s mom, and namjoon finds himself holding hands with the man he loves so much, the man he wants to dedicate the rest of his life, too.
before seokjin’s friend sandeul -- who got licensed just to declare the two of them married, bless his soul -- could even utter a word, namjoon starts to tear up, small hiccups slipping past his lips, and seokjin coos at him gently, letting go of namjoon’s hands to cup namjoon’s face, pressing little kisses all over his face to calm him down, and everyone watching lets out small “aw’s” at the sight, finding them adorable.
“are you okay?” seokjin whispers, and namjoon nods with a sniffle, smiling at him as seokjin holds his hands once more.
“isn’t that just cute,” sandeul starts off, and namjoon grumbles a small insult towards him. “well now. at least we can start this now, hm?”
namjoon hates to admit something so cheesy, but -- okay, maybe he got lost in seokjin’s eyes when sandeul starts talking, getting zoned it. he jolts when he hears sandeul cough out, “listen, namjoon-ah, i get that you’re in love with seokjin and you’re getting lost in his eyes, but please, your vows?”
seokjin lets out a small giggle at this, a soft pink spreading across his cheeks as he looks down bashfully, and suddenly namjoon doesn’t really want to punch sandeul anymore.
namjoon takes a deep breath, and says, “i -- i feel as though this might just end up like when i engaged to you, and i forgot everything and had to make something up on the spot so i don’t seem like a fool.”
seokjin smiles gently at this, watching as namjoon blushes a bit in embarrassment, the little constellations he loves so much showing up all over namjoon’s cheeks, and he rubs namjoon’s hands reassuringly.
“but,” namjoon continues, “i just -- i probably won’t even be able to get all my thoughts out, and sandeul here would probably be grateful because you won’t have to hear me ramble for an hour.” namjoon lets out a small chuckle at this before saying, “but i just really love you, hyung. i’m still in shock that you’re marrying me right now, that you accepted my proposal -- i’m still in shock over you accepting to be my boyfriend five years ago. i just -- i hope we can just stay like this, just stay together forever, as awfully cheesy as it sounds..” namjoon looks down shyly and mumbles out, “i love you, seokjinnie hyung.”
“seokjin-ah?” sandeul says, and namjoon can tell that he has a smile on his face, knowing how genuine namjoon’s words were. “your vows?”
it’s silent for a bit, and namjoon looks up to see seokjin crying silently, and namjoon panics, letting go of seokjin’s hands to cup his face gently. “hyung?”
“i can’t,” seokjin hiccups, and namjoon’s confused until seokjin continues, “i-i forgot my v-vows. i just -- i love you so much, namjoonie, i love you, i love you..”
and namjoon doesn’t mind that seokjin’s ultimately forgotten his vows, opting to kiss seokjin’s forehead with a small chuckle -- the way seokjin was telling him that he loves namjoon was enough for him.
“i’m going to assume it’s best to move on, you lovebirds,” sandeul chuckles, and he goes on with what he’s supposed to say. before he can ask them the whole “do you” questions, taehyung pipes up, “nuh-uh! namjoonie and seokjinnie hyung said that me and jiminnie can do that!”
sandeul looks over at namjoon and seokjin, who nod at him with a smile, and says, “if you say so, go on!”
taehyung and jimin squeal excitedly and they switch places with sandeul -- except they’re too short for the podium, so they simply stand in front of namjoon and seokjin. jimin pipes up, “joonie hyung!”
“yes, jiminnie?” namjoon says with a small smile, waiting for jimin to continue.
jimin furrows his eyebrows in thought, and taehyung whispers something in his ear. “ah! joonie hyung, do you want jinnie hyung to be your husband forever and ever?”
namjoon snorts a bit at this, and seokjin tries to stifle his laughter. it isn’t the traditional way for it to go, but for their brothers, they’ll go with it. “of course. i do.”
“and jinnie hyung,” taehyung says solemnly, “do you want joonie hyung to be your husband f-forever and ever?”
“i do,” seokjin smiles, intertwining his fingers with namjoon’s.
“and the most important question,” taehyung adds, making their older brothers raise an eyebrow with amusement, “do you want me and jiminnie to be bestest brothers forever?”
everyone in the room lets out some form of laughter or cooing at the children, and taehyung looks up at namjoon and seokjin with wide, expectant eyes. namjoon and seokjin look at each other before looking down at taehyung and jimin with a smile, saying, “we do.”
taehyung and jimin squeal happily before they take out the little boxes with the rings. taehyung hands his to seokjin, and jimin gives his to namjoon. namjoon smiles at them in thanks before popping his box open, taking the ring that’s inside and grabbing seokjin’s left hand to gently slip it onto his ring finger. seokjin smiles down at it shyly before taking the ring out of the box he’s holding and slipping it onto namjoon’s own ring finger.
taehyung and jimin look at each other with a grin, and, clapping their hands excitedly, they exclaim, “you’re now husbands!! you can kiss now!”
seokjin laughs tearfully at this, and he lets namjoon pull him into a kiss, cupping namjoon’s cheeks as namjoon wraps his arms around seokjin’s waist. when they pull away, they’re both crying a bit, pressing small kisses against each other’s lips, mumbling “i love you” to one another over and over.
when they finally pull away completely, they look down at their brothers, who are looking up at them with the widest grins on their faces. seokjin pipes up, “and you know what you two are now?”
“what?”
“you’re now the bestest brothers of all time,” namjoon smiles, and taehyung and jimin yell happily, hugging each other tightly, exclaiming, “we’re finally brothers!!”
when the wedding is over, and namjoon and seokjin bid their thanks and goodbyes to all of their guests, yoongi, hoseok, and jungkook stay for a while at the venue with them.
“the photos you took are so nice, kookie,” seokjin says, looking over jungkook’s shoulder as jungkook flips through the photos on his camera. “you made it look more.. spring-like and aesthetic than it really was.”
“thanks, hyung,” jungkook grins at him. he raises his camera, looking through the viewfinder and pointing the lens at taehyung and jimin, where the two of them are eating cake and giggling with each other. he takes a few photos, saying, “that’s too cute to resist, i had to. you should get the digital photos by tomorrow, and i’ll print a few for you guys.”
“thank you, kook,” namjoon smiles. “we appreciate it.”
“how does it feel to be married, man?” yoongi jokes. “i can’t believe you started crying the moment you held seokjin’s hands.”
“shut up ,” namjoon whines, and seokjin giggles at this. his flowers seem to stay at the state of white and red roses whenever he’s near namjoon, and it makes namjoon’s heart swell. “i hate you guys.”
“not me, of course,” seokjin coos, leaning up to kiss namjoon gently.
“not you, of course not,” namjoon smiles, pecking seokjin’s nose.
“you two are gross,” hoseok groans playfully. “don’t taehyung and jimin have a bedtime or something? shouldn’t you get going?”
“if you insist,” seokjin whines dramatically. “but thanks, you three, for being here.”
“it’s not problem, hyung,” yoongi smiles, patting seokjin’s shoulder. “now go home and cuddle with your husband and brothers.”
when they go home, namjoon and seokjin immediately change into their pajamas, while jimin and taehyung change into their dinosaur onesies. they’re all cuddling on the couch, watching every season of miraculous ladybug for old time’s sake, and taehyung and jimin had fallen asleep in between them by the last episode of season one.
“the ring is so pretty,” seokjin whispers to namjoon, looking at his ring with a soft smile. it has designs of roses etched onto it, and he loves it so much. “do yours have planets?”
“venuses and stars,” namjoon confirms, holding out his hand to show seokjin the ring. seokjin smiles at it gently, still emotional at the sight of them. “there’s more to it.”
“oh?”
“take your ring off, and look on the inside,” namjoon says, taking off his own ring. seokjin does so hesitantly, and namjoon adds, “read what yours says, then read mine.”
seokjin can see the date of their wedding etched into it, but he furrows his eyebrows at the words next to it. he looks at the inside of namjoon’s ring before putting two and two together and tearing up, laughing and crying as he hugs namjoon, pressing kisses all over his face over what their rings said when connected:
“ if you were a flower, i’d pick you .”
