We remained on the bed, his fingers gently running up and down my arms as I laid on his chest, staring at the rock on my finger. "When did you get this?" I asked as I poked my head up. A warm smile greeted me as his eyes found mine.

"A while ago." He fixed his eyes onto me. "I've been wanting to do this for a while." He stated with a nod as his fingers still grazed my skin, "but I wasn't sure if this was the right place."

"But after those letters, I knew it had to be here." He pressed his lips into a smile and I mirror it with a nod, placing my head back onto his chest.

I traced imaginary circles onto his skin, leaving a kiss right before glueing my eyes back to him.

"Are we staying the night?" I asked Taehyung and he shook his head, his gaze floating along my body as he studied every minor detail.

"I didn't bring clothes for tomorrow." He chuckled, his hands now playing with my hair. He twirled wisps of my brown hair around his finger, watching it untangle as he pulled away slowly.

"So you prepared all of this just so we could have sex?" I narrowed my eyes at him, a little amusement tainting my features as his body shook with mirth, the vibrations from his chest now reverberating through me.

"You have to admit, that was good sex." He whispers in a flirtatious way, flipping me over swiftly so that he'd hover over my form.

I giggled with a smile, kissing his lips in response. He got up after a moment, reaching out for our clothes. He helped me with my clothes first, getting me dressed right before wearing his own. He shifts me slightly, making my back face him as he tugged onto the zip of my dress. His fingers brushed the skin of my back teasingly as he zipped me up.

Before I could pull away, I feel his lips on my shoulders, kissing his way to my neck and I feel my body easing into his. I don't try to stop him, feeling his hands gently wrap around my waist as my entire body rested against his. I let out a sigh the moment he kisses my sweet spot, my body instantly relaxing.

"I don't want to stop," he murmured against my skin with a groan right before pulling away. "But our food's going to go bad." He sighed with a chuckle.

"Our food?" I turned to look at him with slightly hooded eyes, trying to shake of the slight high.

"I prepared a little barbecue for us and I don't think the cooler for the meat's going to last too long." He let out with a tiny grunt and I couldn't help but smile.

"I still can't believe you did all of this." I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him and I feel his breath hitch the moment our lips touch. His hands ran up my back, pulling me into him as he deepened the kiss and with a frustrated sigh he pulls away.

"The cooler." He reminded, throwing his head back as he breathed out another sigh of frustration and I laughed as I untangled myself from him. I gave him a chaste kiss on the lips right before unzipping the tent and walking out.

The moment I stepped out into the woods, I freeze, my breath getting taken away from me as I stared at the scenic beauty of the night sky. A myriad of stars were splashed across the dark canvas, each having its own unique shine against the inky black sky.

"Wow," I breathed out, eyes focused on the night sky that was studded with diamonds.

"Right?" Taehyung spoke out from behind me. "Okay, come on." He swooped his arm under mine, quickly intertwining our fingers together as he brought me to the wooden table.

"As always, you'll just sit and admire me cook." He wore a cheeky grin, pulling out a mini barbecue pit from the side of a tree. He started a fire and began with the barbecue whilst occasionally walking over to me to make sure I was kept entertained.

I chuckled, waiting for him to be finished with the cooking but it took longer than expected. "Get back to the pit, Taehyung." I laughed the moment he walked towards me once more, doing a little dance in a comedic yet seductive way.

"I'm just giving you something to admire," he lets out with seriousness, flexing his arms and I shook my head with a giggle.

"It's not working, you look like an idiot." I teased and he coughed out a laugh, his cheeks going a little red.

"Well, you're going to be marrying this idiot very soon, so ha!" He placed his hands on his hips, lifting his chin in the air as he looked pleased with himself.

I bit my lip, trying to stop myself from smiling as I watched him go back to the barbecue pit. I really was marrying him. Even after everything, all the rough patches and hardships, we managed to pull through.

I was finally going to be with the man that I love and having him be mine and only mine. Not needing to worry about anyone or anything.

I took in a deep breath in that moment, trying to take in and savour every single moment. I felt everything falling into place and there was nothing to pop our little bubble of joy this time.

"And our food's served!" Taehyung chimed, rushing in with paper plates full of food. He sat next to me, preparing to eat but he catches me just watching him.

"You okay?" He asked, his brows furrowing instantly in worry and I exhaled, feeling my body sink a little towards him.

"Happy." I smiled as I stared deep into his brown eyes. "I'm happy." I say something I thought I wouldn't have been able to say for some time.

He smiled and I noticed his eyes get glazed with a different type of joy. It was one mixed with relief and endearment. He cupped my cheeks, looking at me for a brief second right before leaning in, gliding the tip of his nose against mine.

"I told you," he whispered. "Every little thing is going to be alright." He enunciated every word with a voice soft with affection.

I poked his nose with mine as a smile broke through my lips. "Everything's going to be alright." I whispered back for the first time.

He tilts his head to the side, moving in to press his lips against mine. As he did, I feel everything around us go still, the sounds of our surroundings drowning out as I melt into his kiss. My mind and soul focused on him and him only. The warmth of him engulfed me like a thick blanket that left me feeling secured and blissful.

We pulled away, our foreheads resting on each other's as our eyes still searched one another and it was in his eyes that I was finally able to see how everything was, in fact, going to be alright.

The Bridesmaid.
