“I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth

But if it's true, it's you

It's you, they add up to

I'm in love with you

And all your little things. . .” Seokmin ended the song, earning praises from the band behind him, and of course to Haesoon and Joshua who were his first audience.

Seokmin was required to do plenty of rehearsals to perfect the wedding songs. It's been 5 days since Seokmin arrived and it's also been 5 rehearsals for him but luckily, he nailed every song due to the perfect wedding playlist made by the bride herself.

Joshua loved every song Seokmin performed. He couldn't keep his eyes and ears off from the younger as Seokmin sang like a total angel. His voice is melancholic that gave Joshua the feeling of peace.

Haesoon gave out pointers to Seokmin before she dismissed the singer. It still early in the day and Seokmin planned on spending the remaining time in his room, but due to a very indecisive couple, the wedding songs had a slight changes.

“You sang amazingly, Seoks. Your voice is so soothing to hear. Plus the song choice matched perfectly with your voice.” Joshua stated. “Thanks. Haesoon also said it was nice, but the couple wanted to have changes with the song choice so I have to go meet them now.” Seokmin pouted, heading off to the door.

“Do you want me to go with you? Seunghoon and Jaeha are in the kitchen trying out foods.” Joshua offered, making Seokmin smile and nod. “Yes please! I can't take the awkwardness anymore, I need to drag you there with me.”

Joshua laughed and gently took Seokmin's hand. He guided a now-blushing Seokmin to where the bride and groom were, still had their hands intertwined the whole time.

They arrived at the kitchen where they spotted the couple happily eating a taste test of their wedding cake. Joshua cleared his throat, gaining attention from his bestfriend and the fiancé.

“Oh Seokmin there you are! We've been looking for you. There's been a change in the playlist.” Jaeha started. “Yeah, Haesoon told me. So, what are you guys planning to change?” Seokmin asked, looking at the couple.

“We just wanted to replace the song for when I walk down the aisle with "Can't help falling in love with you." I watched Crazy Rich Asians, and want to experience that same scene at the wedding!” Jaeha cheerfully said. Seokmin smiled, he loved that scene as well. “Nice choice! That scene was romantic. So uh. . . Was that all you wanted to change?”

“Yes! The rest of the songs are fine now. But before you leave, can I ask you something?” Jaeha replied. “Sure. What is it?” Seokmin wondered.

“Can you go with us today? We've planned to spend the day on our boat but one of our friends backed out.” Jaeha nervously asked. She wanted to get to know more about the wedding singer. She wasn't stupid to not realize there's some tension going on between his fiancé and Seokmin.

But also, Jaeha wanted to befriend their singer because he seemed kind enough.

Seokmin thought about it for a second before hesitantly nodding. “I'll go. But only if Shua hyung will come too.” He answered, nudging at Joshua whom was quiet the whole time.

Jaeha sighed of relief. “Of course! He's the best man after all. We wouldn't leave without him.”

Seokmin was in relief as well. At least Joshua will be there. “So it's settled then? We'll go at around 2 in the afternoon.” Jaeha asked. Seokmin nodded in agreement.

Jaeha excitedly dragged his groom to get ready, leaving Joshua and Seokmin alone.

“Wow. . . Well at least it wasn't awkward. Him not saying anything is working pretty well.” Seokmin said. Joshua, who was quiet due to what happened last night, was still in deep thoughts before he got cut off by Seokmin.

“Shua hyung, are you okay?” Seokmin worriedly asked. “Huh? Oh yes Seoks, I'm fine. I was just thinking about something, that's all.” Joshua answered, giving the younger a small smile.

Seokmin checked him out to see if he was really okay. “Fine. We better get ready then. I'll see you later.” Seokmin said, staring at a fazed Joshua before leaving.
