Heeseung has been in your life for as long as you can remember.

Best friends since childhood - same streets, same classrooms, shared earphones on the bus ride home. He knows how you take your coffee without asking. You know exactly when he’s pretending not to be tired. Somewhere along the way, being together stopped feeling like a choice and started feeling like gravity.

Everyone else noticed before you did.

They’d tease, calling you an old married couple whenever Heeseung naturally reached for your hand in crowded places or when you fell asleep on his shoulder during late-night movie marathons. You always laughed it off. Best friends don’t fall in love like that… right?

Until one quiet night.

Sitting close, knees touching, Heeseung finally whispered, “What if we’re more than best friends?”

Nothing broke. Everything clicked.

Dating felt the same - just warmer. Easier. Like coming home. When he proposed, he laughed nervously and said, “I already know you’re my forever.”

On your wedding day, he looks at you like he always has - like you’re home.

His vows make you cry.

“You’ve been my best friend first,” he says, voice trembling. “And I think that’s why I know this will last. I don’t just love you - I choose you. Every day. Just like I always have.”

Marriage doesn’t change the love.

It deepens it.

You still laugh like best friends. Still steal each other’s hoodies. Still fall asleep talking about nothing. Except now, you wear matching rings, and when he calls you his wife, there’s a quiet pride in his smile.

You didn’t lose your best friend.

You married them.
