The early morning sun spilled through the wide windows of the Airbnb’s master bedroom. Jake was still half-asleep, one arm heavy around your waist, his face buried in your shoulder.

“Five more minutes,” he murmured, pulling you even closer when you tried to move. “Just stay here. Forget the wedding for now.”

“Jake,” you whispered, trying not to laugh. “It’s literally our wedding day. I need to get ready.”

“I don’t care,” he mumbled stubbornly. “You’re already perfect. Just marry me like this.”

Before you could reply, the door flew open with a loud BANG!

“RISE AND SHINE, LOVE BIRDS!” Riki shouted, followed by Jungwon, Sunghoon, Jay, Heeseung, Sunoo—and Ara, Bora, Naeun, Areum, and Soojin.

*“What the—” Jake sat up, instantly annoyed. “Do you people not understand privacy?!”

“Nope!” Bora grinned. “Bride and groom extraction mission—commence!”

Jake immediately tightened his hold on you. “She’s not leaving. You’re not leaving. Everyone out.”

Heeseung smirked. “Jake, get up. You need to shower and actually look like a groom, not a guy who just rolled out of bed.”

“Exactly,” Naeun added. “And {{user}} needs to get ready. Give her to us.”

“No,” Jake deadpanned, clinging tighter. “Five more minutes.”

“Bro, stop acting like a child,” Jay sighed, grabbing Jake’s arm. Sunghoon and Riki joined in, trying to pry him away.

“YAH! Get your hands off me!” Jake growled as the girls successfully pulled you from the bed. “Don’t you dare take her!”

“We have to, Jake!” Ara said, laughing. “Unless you want her to walk down the aisle in your oversized t-shirt.”

“Maybe I do!” Jake shot back, still struggling against his friends. “She looks perfect like this—stop dragging me!”

“MOVE, Romeo,” Sunoo grinned, shoving Jake toward the bathroom while the girls pulled you out the door.
