Chapter 55. Forever (5)

All our friends continued to applaud, totally excited, but it was when we descended the steps that separated us from them that everyone, absolutely everyone, came to embrace us.

I heard SooJin saying amidst her tears how much she loved us. TaeYang congratulated us along with SiJoon, and Doyun wished us happiness.

My parents and in-laws came next, engulfing us in hugs and kisses, and finally, my brother-in-law and nephews wished us the best.

I saw JunKoo look beyond, and it was Yug-Mi who approached hesitantly. I smiled because I felt that I could finally, so he stood in front of us, smiling, especially when JunKoo smiled back.

"Congratulations to you," he said shyly, but JunKoo didn't mind and pulled him into a tight hug.

"Thank you very, very much," JunKoo replied.

"Thank you," I said when he finally let him go, smiling.

"I hope you both are very happy, really. And may your love only grow from here.&q
