Seungmin tightly clenched the flowers in his hands as he walked down the wedding venue, a painful lump forming in his throat after seeing Minho standing by the altar waiting for him.

He swallowed thickly, taking slow deep breaths as he tried to keep the tears at bay.

He took one last deep breath and steeled his nerves before turning around, stepping slowly towards the alter, forcing himself not to fall apart in front of everyone.

Once he reached the podium, he bowed slightly towards the guests before straightening out his posture and facing Minho.

Minho raised an eyebrow at Seungmin who only gave him a watered-down smile, his gaze dropping down to avoid staring directly at Minho's piercing gaze.

After a moment or so, the officiant finally spoke up. "Will you please take each other's hands?" He requested.

Minho slid Seungmin's hand into his own and intertwined them together, giving a reassuring squeeze.

Seungmin nodded, swallowing thickly once again as he looked up at Minho, biting his cheek lightly.

"With these rings on our fingers I thee wed," He recited, gesturing to Minho. "Do you, Lee Minho, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, to love and cherish, until death do us part?"

Minho squeezed Seungmin's hand again gently. "I do." He nodded with a slight smile.

"And do you, Kim Seungmin, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, to love and cherish, till death do us part?" The officiant said, glancing in Seungmin's direction.

Seungmin looked at him with big sad brown puppy eyes filled with uncertainty before replying. "I do." He choked out quietly.

The officiant nodded, smiling at Seungmin gratefully. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husbands. You may now kiss the groom." He announced happily, gesturing towards Minho and Seungmin.

Minho immediately leaned forward and pressed a warm, soft, sweet kiss against Seungmin's mouth, earning an audible gasp from Seungmin.

His heart fluttered as he wrapped his hands around Minho's neck, pulling the taller boy closer.

They broke their kiss after a short while, their foreheads touching while they caught their breath.

Minho's father's words suddenly rang in Seungmin's head, making his heart drop into his stomach.

Seungmin pulled away from Minho slightly, resting his forehead on Minho's shoulder. "I'm sorry." He whispered softly.

Minho's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "For what?" He asked quietly.

"For everything.." Seungmin mumbled, his voice cracking slightly as he felt the tears prickling in his eyes.

"Seungmin!" Minho called out as he followed behind Seungmin who ran downstairs, trying his best to catch up with him.

"Can't you just go away, Hyung?" Seungmin grumbled, stopping abruptly in the living room to turn around and face Minho, folding his arms over his chest.

"You know I can't do that, Seungmin." Minho sighed exasperatedly, frowning heavily at the younger's sulky expression.

"Yes, you can," Seungmin argued stubbornly, refusing to look Minho in the eye.

"I won't," Minho stated firmly, crossing his arms over his chest as well.

Seungmin pursed his lips stubbornly while refusing to say anything else.

"You're acting like a child." Minho shook his head slightly, rolling his eyes slightly.

"Do you really love me? Or is it only temporary?" Seungmin asked softly, glancing away momentarily.

Minho froze for a second before letting out a heavy sigh, taking a step towards Seungmin slowly. "I don't know why you're asking such questions, baby.." He sighed.

"Please tell me the truth," Seungmin mumbled quietly, his voice trembling slightly as he looked up at Minho with large teary eyes.

"I love you. You might as well take my heart, Seungmin. It's already full of you." Minho murmured honestly, placing his hand on Seungmin's side, rubbing small circles against the area softly with his thumb.

"Please go.." Seungmin whimpered softly, wiping at his cheeks quickly while sniffling softly.

"What is it? What's wrong, Minnie?" Minho frowned, moving his free hand under Seungmin's chin, lifting the younger's gaze up to meet his concerned ones.

"You know nothing about me. You've known me only a few weeks." Seungmin murmured, his hands grabbing onto Minho's wrists tightly.

"A few weeks? Seungmin, I've known you all my life." Minho replied simply, slowly running his thumb along Seungmin's jawline.

"All your life.." Seungmin repeated sadly, rolling his eyes weakly when he saw how calm Minho was being.

"It's true." Minho chuckled softly, bringing a hand up to cup Seungmin's face lovingly.

Seungmin closed his eyes tightly, nuzzling his face into Minho's palm. "Don't lie." He pleaded quietly.

"Why should I?" Minho asked, pressing a soft, chaste kiss against the older boy's lips.

Seungmin sighed heavily, his grip around Minho tightening. "Because we're both pretending.."
