Several months later...

Zen rarely felt nervous anymore while being onstage, but as he stared out at the crowd before him, he couldn't stop anxiously fidgeting with his clothes as he struggled to calm his racing heart.

"Deep breaths, Zen. Everything's going to be fine." Jaehee cooed as she fixed his tie for him.

"I know that but I still feel nervous." Zen whispered as he fussed with his ponytail, pulling it over his shoulder then tossing it back when he decided he didn't like it there.

"Just keep your eyes on Amy. Do that and you'll be fine. Besides, she's the only thing that really matters in this, right?"

"R-Right. You're very right. Thank you, Jaehee. I don't know what I would do without you."

"There's no need to thank me. I better go join the girls in back now. Good luck!" Jaehee smiled before scurrying off just before the organ started to play.

As music filled the large room, Zen and the others present all turned their eyes to watch procession, chuckling as the flower girls spastically hurled flower petals into the air and smiling as the bridesmaids and groomsmen walked arm in arm down the aisle. After the maid of honor and best man, which surprisingly were Yoosung and Emma again, made their way onstage, the music changed and everyone rose to their feet as the doors at the back of the room swung open again. Zen's heart fluttered with excitement as he beheld his one and only love gliding down the aisle on the arm of her stepfather, a broad smile on her lips and a sparkle in her eyes that put all other women to shame. His chest swelled with such pride that he drank in the sight of her, from the elegant tiara sparkling amongst the flowing curls in her hair to the way her dress hugged her curves before flaring outwards to create a fluffy skirt, the essential piece to any princess gown. As they locked eyes, Zen could practically feel the chapel around them melting away, revealing a large castle made of gleaming white stone and filled with smell of roses and books. Grinning so widely that his cheeks hurt, Zen extended his hand toward his bride and swooped her into his arms, resting his forehead against hers as he lost himself in her eyes.

"You ready?" he whispered, the droning of the preacher no more than background noise to him as he gazed at her with undeniable affection.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Amy replied with a sheepish shrug as she squeezed his hands tight.

"And do you, Hyun Ryu, take Amethyst Hall to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold in good times and bad times, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"And do you, Amethyst Hall, take Hyundai Ryu to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold in good times and bad times, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"Then by the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the-"

Zen couldn't hold himself back any longer and greedily captured Amethyst's lips with his own before the preacher had finished, cheers and applause ringing in his ears. Amethyst eagerly kissed back, her fingers sliding into the hair at the nape of his neck as he picked her up by her waist. Breaking the kiss, Zen flashed his now wife a devious grin and spun her around in the air, causing her to squeal, before taking her hand and guiding her back down the aisle as the two of them laughed like idiots. After they darted through the main room's doors, however, the couple paused for a moment and stared at the next set of doors, the doors leading to the outside world. They could already hear the clamoring of the paparazzi as they waited to catch a glimpse of the newly weds and the babbling of newscasters who had all gathered to broadcast the occasion. Sighing, Zen shot his bride a loving glance and pulled her a little closer.

"Are you sure about this, Zen?" Amy whispered as she played with the silver, diamond studded ring that now clung to her ring finger.

"Yes. I want to proclaim to the entire world that you are now mine. However, if it makes you uncomfortable, we can always duck out around back-"

"No." Amy said firmly as she straightened her shoulders, a defiant glimmer in her eyes. The sight made Zen's heart go wild in his chest.

"I love you so much, darling. I swear no man on this earth is luckier than I." he whispered as he placed a breathy kiss on the back of her ear.

Amy fought back a blush. "Zen, stop that! We still have the wedding reception to go to!"

"Why do we have to have that again? I just want to skip to the honeymoon already." Zen grumbled as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Just a little longer, Zen. I promise. Once the reception is over, I'm all yours." Amy whispered huskily, a sultry smile on her lips.

A low growl of approval echoed from Zen's throat as he attacked Amy's lips once before, chewing ever so tenderly on her bottom lip as she whimpered quietly. Pulling back before his inner beast took over, he once more interwove his hand with Amy's, and the two of them pushed the double doors open together, greeting the crowd outside with confident smiles as they walked side by side out into the open.

-----------------------

To Zen's surprise, the reception wasn't as unbearable as expected. Due to the flurry of emotions inside him earlier that day, he hadn't realized how hungry he was till the smell of fresh food hit his nose, making his stomach groan with yearning. Amy noticed, of course, and gladly took the opportunity to feed her husband, sneaking a few kisses along the way.

"I'm going to eat you soon if you don't stop." Zen smirked after her latest attempt. Amy just chuckled in response and kissed him again before nibbling on some of the food herself. Frowning, Zen reached out and bit off a piece of the morsel, his lips brushing against Amy's and thus causing her to squeal.

"Z-Zen!" she exclaimed, her face going bright red.

"Just giving you a taste of your own medicine, sweetheart. Bitter, isn't it?" Zen snickered, earning himself a death glare.

After dinner was finished, the dancing started. Smiling proudly, Zen led Amy to the center of the floor for their first dance and pulled her into his arms. As the first notes of the song started to play, tears sprang to Amy's eyes when she recognized it as the song he had proposed to her to.

"Zen..." she breathed, her lip quivering. Zen only pulled her closer so she could rest her head on his shoulder as they swayed back and forth to the music.

All those days watching from the windows

All those years outside looking in

All that time never even knowing

Just how blind I've been

Now I'm here blinking in the starlight

Now I'm here suddenly I see

Standing here it's all so clear

I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog has lifted

And at last I see the light

And it's like the sky is new

And it's warm and real and bright

And the world has somehow shifted

All at once everything looks different

Now that I see you

All those days chasing down a daydream

All those years living in a blur

All that time never truly seeing

Things, the way they were

Now she's here shining in the starlight

Now she's here suddenly I know

If she's here it's crystal clear

I'm where I'm meant to go

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog has lifted

And at last I see the light

And it's like the sky is new

And it's warm and real and bright

And the world has somehow shifted

All at once everything is different

Now that I see you

Now that I see you

Applause rose from the other people present as Amy and Zen finished the dance with a tearful, passion-filled kiss before splitting off, Amy going to her stepdad's side for the daddy-daughter dance while Zen rejoined the crowd. As he stood watching his bride glide gracefully across the dance floor, he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to behold a face he hadn't seen in a long time.

"You...You came." He breathed, not believing his eyes. His brother offered him an awkward shrug.

"I felt like I owed it to you, I guess."

Zen frowned and glanced around the room. "If you're here, then did Mom...?"

"I'm sorry, Hyun. I tried to convince her to come but she wouldn't budge."

Zen's shoulders sagged. "I see...Well, that least you're here, I guess."

Zen's brother shuffled awkwardly and quickly decided to change the subject as his gaze fell on Amy. "So, that's the lady of the hour, huh? You really know how to pick them, little brother. Think you can set me up?"

Zen managed to muster a chuckle. "I'll see what I can do. You seem much more laid back than I remember you to be."

"People change, I guess." His brother replied before growing rather quiet. "Hyun, I-"

"Don't. I already know what you're going to say and it isn't necessary. Amy has helped me to move on and I hope you will do the same. We shouldn't be obsessed with the past and should focus on the future instead, right?" Zen said. His brother started to smile.

"Pretty wise for someone who didn't complete high school." he commented smugly, earning a gentle slug to the arm from his little brother. "So, does my lovely new sister-in-law have a friend you could introduce me to or...?"

"I'm not sure but I'll let you know." Zen crowed.

Suddenly, as soon as the daddy-daughter dance ended, a familiar voice echoed out from the speakers.

"Alright, alright, enough with the sentimental stuff! This is a party, isn't it? So let's party!" Saeyoung exclaimed, earning cheers from the rest of the crowd while MC buried her head in her hands, her cheeks turning the color of her husband's hair.

--------------------------

As he and Amy entered his-no, their house later that night, Zen grabbed his bride and pinned her against the wall, hungrily capturing her lips in his.

"You really have no patience, do you?" Amy tested as she played with his tie.

"Woman, I've been waiting to do this for months!"

"Well, I guess I shouldn't keep you waiting much longer, should I?"

"No, you shouldn't."

Eyes sparkling, Amy yanked Zen down to her level and pulled him into another passionate kiss. Zen rumbled in approval as his picked his wife up and carried her towards the room that they would now share, kicking the door shut behind him.
