A K-pop Idol 65.4

Once he was ready, Alex met his bandmates, who were dressed as his bridesmaids in lavender dresses. They all pointed out how great Alex was looking, and told him that they had never seen a prettier bride. Choi Hyun, who even seemed about to cry, told him, "Oh, look how my girl is grown up! She's a woman now. Ready for her marriage!" 

"Don't be like that, unnie" Alex said, embarrassed. "You know that I'm dressed this way because of our MV…"

There was a white limousine waiting for the girls. This was a real challenge for Alex to get into the car dressing that huge dress. He only managed to do that with the help of his bandmates, and he had to sit very carefully not to crease the dress. 

When they arrived at their destination, Alex saw that they weren’t in the recording set, but actually in an elegant ballroom. The feminized man thought that when their manager said that he wanted it to seem as authentic as possible he wasn’t kidding.  In Korea, nowadays, few people still get married in religious temples, preferring this kind of place. So, that filming would be held where real marriages were celebrated!

The interior was very fancy, and it was neatly decorated with pink and white flower arrangements. The bridesmaids went directly to the altar, while Alex waited in the back of the hall. The place was crowded. There were some people Alex knew and others he had never seen in life who were probably extras. 

The director of the MV then appeared and said that Alex looked very pretty. He handed a bouquet of flowers to the feminized man, and told him to walk slowly toward the altar when he heard the wedding march. He explained that this scene would be a dream of the protagonist of the MV (just before she wakes up and receives the phone call from her crush), and that Alex should act as if this were a real ceremony, as happy as if he were actually getting married. 

Alex thought that if he acted naturally the director wouldn't like it – If that marriage were real, he would be running as fast as he could away from that place. Even so, he just told the man that he would do as requested. 

When he heard the beginning of the song, he moved slowly through the ballroom. He was shaking from head to toe. Even if it was just an act, that situation made him very nervous. There he was, dressed like a bride walking towards the altar. Could there be a greater representation of femininity than that? 

As he approached the altar, with a frozen smile on his face and under the watchful eye of all present, he saw that there really was a groom, and he was nobody else but Byun Sehun, the actor. "How surprising!" Alex thought cynically. 

The guy was very classy in a white suit, and he was smiling broadly looking at Kim Hana. 

Oh, he looks really handsome! Alex thought before he could control himself. Would that be so bad if this marriage were real?

What the hell is wrong with me? He wondered shortly after, in shock. But he couldn't get out of his head how great Byun Sehun was looking, and the passionate way in which the actor was looking at him. Was he just acting or was that a real feeling? Well, he had asked me out several times...  

Upon arriving at the altar, Alex handed the bouquet to Choi Hyun, and approached Byun Sehun. The guy held out his hand to Alex and said, "I'm such a lucky man! Who in the world has a more beautiful bride?"

Alex couldn't help it but blushed, lowering his eyes. "Thank you" he whispered, extremely confused, while Byun Sehun held his delicate hands. There was even an actor to celebrate the wedding (or was he a real minister?) making the situation frighteningly believable. At the end, Byun Sehun and Kim Hana accepted each other as husband and wife, and then Byun Sehun kissed Alex affectionately. Alex was lost in a sea of mixed feelings…
