Rainy Heart's
Chapter 23

Unlike yesterday, today's weather was so good that afternoon arrived. Some of the servants in this magnificent mansion belonging to a wealthy family seemed busy preparing the grassy courtyard of the house. Deciding in such a way by being led directly by an aunt who does have a duty as a butler there. In two hours, their master will have a simple wedding there. There were no guests, only relatives and family.

Their activities stopped for a moment when a car stopped in front of the house. Kyujong and Marin got out of the car with astonished faces and approached them

"Ajumma... What's going on?" Ask Kyujong. No one has told her about this sudden marriage. Until now, Kyuhyun had only contacted Ahra and Shin's mother. While Juhyun only told his father and mother who could not come because it was too sudden.

"Deoryenim hasn't told you?"

"Kyuhyun?" Aunty nodded "Tell me what?"

"She's getting married to her boyfriend today..."

"Today???" Kyujong and Marin asked simultaneously, they looked very surprised. Aunty just nodded, Kyujong sighed and moved into the house.

Although he knew Kyuhyun and Juhyun loved each other, but this marriage was too sudden. He needed to know why they were doing it so suddenly like this. While Marin was just looking at Kyujong who was moving with those wide steps, then sighed

"Continue again!" Marin shouted slowly and then moved to the car to pack their luggage. Even though the driver did it.

.

"Kyuhyun.ah." call Kyujong as soon as he enters the house, but there is no answer until several times.

Kyujong climbed the stairs to see his sister in his room, but he found no one. And decided to return to the first floor, and continue the search in the living room. And there he found Juhyun alone in arranging flowers for a bouquet that he would bring later

"Eoh... Kyujong? You're home yet?" Juhyun smiled at Kyujong who approached him

"Where's kyuhyun?"

"He's out to take care of something..." Juhyun answered him kindly. Unlike Kyujong who looked at him the other way, and it was hard to decipher. He must be very surprised now. Slowly Kyujong sat beside him, making Juhyun look at him in wonder

"What's on your mind?" Ask slowly

"Ne?" Juhyun frowned cluelessly, Kyujong sighed slowly

"What's wrong with the current situation?"

"Ah... You already know..." Juhyun widened his smile, he understood. Kyujong must have been very surprised

"Why so sudden? You guys didn't even talk to me about it? How can I be the last to know?" Juhyun's smile disappeared hearing Kyujong's unhappy tone

"You're angry about this?" Juhyun asked back casually while taking his eyes off and continuing his work. Kyujong fell silent, noticing that his reaction was excessive

"You're not happy we're getting married? You mind? Or are you still not able to see us getting married? Did you also forget that you just came home from your honeymoon?" Juhyun still asked in a relaxed tone but slightly slammed the flower arrangement he held on the table. He's upset right now.

Juhyun loudly sighed and looked back at Kyujong who was still beside him sharply. While Kyujong was still stunned, hearing Juhyun's barrage of questions, he made him feel doubtful about himself reacting like this. Is it true what Juhyun said or not? Now Juhyun's view changed demanding an answer.

Marin who was about to enter, stopped her steps in the doorway looking at the two of them, it seemed like there was something serious they were talking about

"Did you feel the same way about me that you wouldn't want me to marry your sister who is now even dying?"

Juhyun's question stopped Marin from leaving. Juhyun looked at her with a reddened face, he felt very upset when Kyujong reacted like that to the news of his marriage

"Yukio...."

"I don't want to get married this way either, I want a beautiful marriage like you and Marin. I also want to know what it's like to try on a wedding dress and ask Kyuhyun's opinion whether or not I deserve to wear it? I also want all my friends to know that I'm married! And proud of what my husband was like to them. I also want to walk in front of the guests with hands that Kyuhyun is fondly holding. But I have no choice! If I could choose, I wouldn't want a painful love story like this. When the time felt so scary to both of us, when the opportunity felt so small for us to get, when happiness felt hesitant to approach us. What can I do? I can only decide this! Because our enemy is only time!"

Juhyun sobbed making Kyujong bow. Regretting mistakes. He really doesn't remember this. He forgets that Kyuhyun's chance may be running low,

"Ahhhh..... It hurts so much when I have to decide this.... He even postponed his operation just to spend time with me.... Uhh...." Juhyun still sobbed and held onto his chest which felt very tight from sadness, making Kyujong even more helpless and could only look at Juhyun grudgingly.

••••

By late afternoon, the sky was getting brighter. As bright as Kyuhyun's face now. Although they did not have the opportunity to choose a wedding dress together, Kyuhyun still wanted to prepare for all the things Juhyun needed. Currently, he is in one of the boutiques. Choose a wedding dress that is there. Look for one dress that is suitable for Juhyun to wear. He had also contacted Ahra to come to his house immediately and help Juhyun to decorate.

Because it was too sudden, they did not have much time to prepare everything. But Kyuhyun did not want Juhyun to feel sad about this simple marriage. Although he could only prepare everything very simply, Kyuhyun wanted everything to be memorable for Juhyun. And effective for himself.

Kyuhyun's steps came to a halt in front of a mannequin wearing a white dress along his knees, he looked simple. But it also looks beautiful if Juhyun wears it. Kyuhyun still looked at the dress, still worried whether to buy it or not. Until a salesman approached her

"Can I help you, sir?" Asked politely, Kyuhyun turned his head and smiled

"I'm looking for a wedding dress that's simple yet looks elegant..."

"Ah... Incidentally, this dress is the latest sir, at this time it is very trend wedding held simply. So our designer made this dress special, it might look simple. But some details on the chest and arms of this dress make this dress look elegant...." Kyuhyun listened as he watched the dress, if looked at well, he could see this dress was so lively and explained the many meanings, Kyuhyun liked it

"Ne... I was thinking of buying it..."

"Your choice is very good, we only produce five dresses only sir. You're lucky to give this to your lover..."

"All right...." Kyuhyun.

"May I know what size it is?" Kyuhyun turned around and looked at the salesman, he did not know the size of Juhyun's clothes

"Ah... I don't know, but he has a body almost the same as yours..."

"All right.... I think this one's gonna fit him.."

••••

They were still sitting together even though there was no more chatter. Juhyun continued his work after feeling calm, while Kyujong was still sitting next to him wordlessly. Juhyun's phone ring broke the silence, with Juhyun immediately answering the incoming call

"Ne..." Said with a big smile

"What do you want me to give you for the wedding?" Juhyun chuckled, though,

"Kyuhyun.ah, you don't have to give me any gifts. Being your wife is my best gift...." There was laughter across there

"I asked because I didn't know what to ask... Eoh. I'm picking a ring for us. Come to think of it I don't know the size of your ring..."

"10" Juhyun brief

"Ah... Alright... I'll send you some pictures..."

"Aniya's... I'll like everything you choose...."

"Jeongmal's? All right, then..."

Juhyun lowered his head and put on a sad face back once the connection was cut off. She re-arranged the flowers in silence. While Kyujong still noticed it.

"Jeongmal mianhae's...." Kyujong said in the end, making Juhyun turn his eyes to her

"You must love your wife more than anyone!" Juhyun cried coldly as he moved because his work was done. Kyujong lowered his head, and moved as well

••••

The red orange sky also bears witness to a sacred promise made by two people who are being struck by this love. The lights arranged in such a way are lit because the sky will soon be dark. There aren't many guests like the big brother's fancy wedding party. Only Shin's mother, Ahra, Hyukjae, Marin and Kyujong witnessed this marriage. But it does not eliminate the smile on the face of the two brides.

There is also no wedding food. The aunt and the other waiter were in charge of making a simple meal, they would have a regular dinner with grilled meat as a celebration.

Kyuhyun and Juhyun faced each other, right what the saleswoman said earlier, the dress was very charming especially when attached to Juhyun's body. Kyuhyun looked at her very gently, as well as Juhyun. Nothing interfered with this moment of wisdom, they were amazed and moved to look at them.

Ahra had to shed her tears, secretly hiding her cries behind the back of Hyukjae who was standing next to her. He knew the reason Juhyun soon married Kyuhyun, he knew the reason Juhyun gave up his dream marriage. All because of Kyuhyun, all for Kyuhyun. His heart was truly glorious, like an angel. Juhyun just wanted Kyuhyun to immediately perform the surgery without feeling worried and scared. It's really heartwarming

"They made me cry..." Ahra muttered behind Hyukjae's back, until the man glanced at her

"I didn't expect them to finally get married, if you knew what they were like in Jeungdo, you wouldn't believe it...." Hyukjae also said quietly

"really?"

"Kyuhyun always makes Juhyun.ah upset...." Ahra chuckled, she could imagine how annoying Kyuhyun was

Not far from them standing, Kyujong also looked at Kyuhyun and Juhyun silently. The expression on his face is not guessed. Marin standing next to him did not make Kyujong take his eyes off Kyuhyun and Juhyun

"Does your heart ache to see this?" The slow question from Marin's mouth was able to make Kyujong switch to look at her, Marin smiled at that moment

"Gwenchan... I know how you feel... No need to hide it from me!" Said Marin again gently accompanied by a smile that was getting wider and soft elusan in the hands of Kyujong who caressed her

"Aniya's... Not like that! I just feel really sad, and I don't know why it makes me feel this way. That expression I haven't seen from Kyuhyun since the deaths of our parents... I should have been happy to see him smile that wide. But instead, it's like someone's squeezing in this chest...."

Marin's smile disappeared, but she kept looking at her husband. It wasn't Juhyun the reason Kyujong felt sad. Marin exhaled softly and stroked Kyujong's shoulder to calm her feelings

"Yes!!! Do the next one! Don't just look at each other!" Hyukjae chirps, making both Kyuhyun and Juhyun wake up and smile shyly. Until they finally looked at each other again, slowly Kyuhyun grabbed Juhyun's hand, he would pin the ring on his ring finger

'Forgive me if I suddenly leave you.... Gomawo Juhyun's...'

'I always pray to God, if that scary time comes, I can keep my promise.... I don't know why it feels so heavy Kyuhyun.ah.I feel so crowded, I feel like I won't be able to bear this burden.... Be strong! Hold on once more, so that I don't falter....'

Although his inner self was plump, Juhyun still maintained his smile. The ring had been embedded sweetly on his finger, now it was his turn to pin the ring on Kyuhyun's finger. With a soft kiss on the forehead he got after he managed to pin the ring without falling off. A big applause they got. Ahra hugged Shin's mother who was also crying deeply

"He has found his happiness..." Said Shin's mother. Ahra just nodded

••••

Kyuhyun laid his body on the bed comfortably. Making Juhyun's thigh a pillow, Juhyun smiled as he stroked Kyuhyun's hair affectionately. Kyuhyun looked up at his wife. Unable to hold back a smile, Kyuhyun chuckled and stroked Juhyun's cheek

"The day after...." Juhyun nodded with a relieved expression

"I'm gonna change our honeymoon time with this..." Kyuhyun held up a book in his hand. Juhyun looked at the book in wonder and took it '100 simple and romantic things with the couple' that was the title of the book. Juhyun chuckled and opened the book that looked like a fairy tale book, there were already some signs there. It seems Kyuhyun has chosen to do anything with him

"I don't think I'll be able to do it all at once. I've already marked, there are 10 romantic things we'll do together..."

"10? Let's see..." Said Juhyun as he opened the booksheets one by one, his face a little cloudy to see the activities that Kyuhyun chose

Shopping with a couple

A couple buying clothes

Cooking with a couple

Cleaning the house together

Gardening with a couple

Reading fairy tales for couples

Write a letter to a couple

Give each other gifts to couples

Travelling around town with a couple

Cycling with a couple

Juhyun was stunned to read the titles, for some reason he felt all the activities meant a farewell. Unconsciously he breathed quickly and lowered his head. The separation felt very real at this time, but he still hoped there would still be a miracle. Kyuhyun looked at her in slight astonishment, yet he still tried to keep his smile

"Why? Is this hard?" ask Kyuhyun carefully

"Aniya's.... Let's do it!" Juhyun widened his smile and pulled Kyuhyun slowly in his arms. Kyuhyun heaved a sigh of relief and returned the hug, that's when Juhyun's tears trickled down and he cried silently

"Eoh... Wait!" Kyuhyun took off his arms suddenly and headed towards the bookshelf in his room.

Juhyun lowered his head and wiped his tears quickly. Kyuhyun can't know he's crying right now.

A moment later, Kyuhyun returned with a fairy tale book in hand. His face looked bright, making Juhyun laugh a little. The husband sat back on the bed, put down the fairy tale book and laid Juhyun down slowly. Juhyun did not refuse, he accepted the gentle treatment without saying anything. He will enjoy this moment while he can. Once he had laid down perfectly, Kyuhyun pulled the blanket over Juhyun and patted Juhyun's chest slowly as a gesture for his wife to sleep

"You must also rest ..." Juhyun shouted slowly

"After reading this to you, I will also sleep..." Kyuhyun took the fairy tale book and showed it to Juhyun. Then open it

'In a beautiful village, there lived a boy named Shamsin.... She lives with her grandmother who works to find firewood. Shamsin is a beautiful girl and also smart, she is also very cheerful.....'

'...... A wicked witch is after him, she wants to take the blue diamond stone that Shamsin has, the blue diamond has magical powers that can make someone still look beautiful even though they have become old. Whoever owns the diamond will have an eternal life....'

'...... Shamsin flees from his village, he will protect the blue diamond. Not because he was greedy, but he did not want the diamond to fall into the wrong hands.....'

Kyuhyun stopped his reading when he saw Juhyun's eyes closed. His wife had gone to bed to pick up her sweet dreams. Kyuhyun smiled and stroked Juhyun's hair slowly.

"You fall asleep fast? I haven't even read the end of the story...." Kyuhyun

"Shamsin.... He could live eternally if he held the blue diamond. But he sacrificed his life for the people he loved.... The precious diamond he gave to the lover when the two of them hung together in a ravine because of an accident. Not all fairy tales end beautifully, Shamsin leaves behind his lover who will feel lonely all his life. Why didn't he just throw away those blue diamonds, so they could die together? Isn't this fairy tale writer unfair? Isn't he being too realistic? This life will not end according to our will. The meeting will end with a farewell. Leaving and being left behind.... But you know in the end the lover smashed the blue diamond and waited for his death to come....."

Kyuhyun closed the book and left the room. He needs to breathe fresh air. Juhyun opened his eyes after Kyuhyun and opened the book. There is no Shamsin in the book. Is Kyuhyun worried about him now? Is Kyuhyun worried that Juhyun will falter if he is not helped during the day after surgery?

"If you leave, I don't know what will happen to me..... Please hold on! So that I have a reason to stay alive by your side..." Juhyun
