For Real Though (1/1)

We Got Married jongkey2012 123760K 2023-12-11

My emotions were on a roller coaster ride, I wasn't sure if I was scared, excited or nervous. I had always wanted to appear on We Got Married and now I had been cast, I wasn't so sure if it was the right thing for me. My best friend had been so supportive and so had my other band members. I was buzzing with excitement at first but now I didn't feel so confident.I thought about who was going to become my fake wife for a few months, was she going to be loud and annoying or constantly use that cringe worthy cute stuff. I was seated in a cafe as I waited for her to arrive, fiddling my thumbs, feeling butterflies in my stomach and I started to feel quick sick. The cameras had started rolling after a bout half an hour of waiting, they asked me silly and useless questions, constantly reminding me that my wife was on her way.A part of me wanted to run out the cafe and hide but I knew I couldn't and I couldn't let people down.I kept staring at the clock, the little arrows moving around so slowly like they were teasing me. It seemed to go quiet after a while, the cafe was mainly empty with just the crew watching. I heard the bell ring above the door, making my body tremble more. I wrapped my hands around a hot chocolate I had gotten while I waited, the warmth calmed me a little but I couldn't help but feel she was behind me. Suddenly hand's covered my eyes, I was confused as I could smell a very husky peppermint scent that I would recognize anywhere. I lifted my hand's up to remove the owner's hand away and looked behind me only to be left speechless and nearly pass out. This had to be a joke, no way was thing happening. I was worried about some screechy, annoying girl but I got something much worse yet so much better.Standing there with a cheesy grin on his lips and a bunch of flowers in his hands, was none other then my best friend, Kim Jonghyun. I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, I looked at the PD excepting them to shout out that this was a prank but they were looking at me seriously and I knew this was real. Jonghyun was going to be my wife or husband for the next few months.I wasn't sure what Jonghyun's reaction was at first, he seemed a little surprised but then he just smiled and his eyes glittered under the candle light. I took his response as something positive and he wanted to do this as much as I did. Maybe being married to my best friend won't be so bad.Our first date was actually quite fun, we ended up making some cakes in a home we moved into for the show. Of course I had brought more things along then Jonghyun so it took longer to unpack. I was always known as the one who cooked in the SHINee dorm and made sure the other's ate well so baking was easy for me to do but for Jonghyun it was a whole different matter."Oh gosh Jonghyun, what have you done" I had giggled when I saw my husband covered in flour. His hair was just white and he had bit's of egg on his finger's and face, it was so funny yet rather cute. He had been trying to make little fairy cakes but they just looked like puddles of goo. I couldn't help but feel proud though, he had tried his best but cooking has never been his strong point.I remember once Jonghyun made a pizza in the dorm and used so much cheese that it was just awful but we all ate it because he had tried his best. "D..don't laugh Key, s..stupid flour wouldn't mix right" Jonghyun pouted and I ended up on the floor laughing so hard. I had tears falling from my eyes. After I got over my giggles, I tried to clean Jonghyun up best I could and with help from me, we made some cookies and cream and strawberry milkshake cupcakes.We both ended up shared a cake between us while the rest went to the staff, I felt my self blush when Jonghyun fed me a piece of the cake and a few crumbs were left on my lips. I felt warmth spread through my body as Jonghyun used his thumb to carefully wipe away the few crumbs, my gaze followed his thumb softly.As we washed up the bowls and spoons, it soon turned in to a play fight and the both of us ended up covered in flour and bubbles from the water. I hadn't laughed so much in such along time, I had forgotten we had been filming because I had so much fun with Jonghyun.Our second date was something simple yet it was so fun. We had gone ice skating in the evening, it was fairly busy with couples and groups of friends having fun. I was quite a good at ice skating but Jonghyun was a completely different story, he managed to get on the ice but he was holding onto the rails for dear life. I kept trying to get him to let go of the rail and I would support him but he looked so scared like a lost puppy in trouble."I...I can't do this Bummie, I am going to fall over and my finger's will get sliced off" Jonghyun panicked and his grip tightened on the cold metal rail. I giggled lightly although I felt so bad seeing how nervous and scared Jonghyun looked. I was proud that he had set food on the ice rink, it was a big step for someone who had never skated before.I had skated around the rink a few times before going to stand next to Jonghyun, I wanted him to have some fun without feeling scared. I was going to make it my goal to help Jonghyun at lest hold his balance and skate one lap around the ice rink. "Come on Jjong, I am here. Look take my hands and I promise I will not let you go" I said in hopes to help Jonghyun.He looked so scared and nervous, "Y..y...you promise Bum" Jonghyun had stuttered out shakily. I nodded my head and smiled warmly, holding my hand's out for Jonghyun to take, he looked at my hands then down at the ice beneath us. He sighed and took a deep breath, turning to grip in to my hand's tightly. I could feel him trembling so I caressed the back of his hand with my thumb, smiling wider when we slowly moved away from the rails.Slowly Jjong got some confidence as I helped him glide around the ice, his plump lips turned into a wide smile, pearl white teeth showing. After an hour he wanted me to let go of his hands and I slowly released his hands, cheering proudly and Jonghyun managed to hold his balance and not fall over.Well he nearly did fall on to his bum but I managed to catch him in time, staring into those warm honey brown eyes, I felt butterflies tickling my insides.The third date was my favourite by far, for Jonghyun it was a lot safer then ice skating and less messier then baking. We had decided to go shopping, I hadn't been in a while and going with Jonghyun was such a rare treat. Usually he would moan because I would spend too much but once we got there he would be fine. It was quite busy in the mall as it was a Saturday, many fans had come down and kept on screaming for us when they caught a glimpse of us.We ended up in a small clothing store, Jonghyun dragged me inside once something caught his eye. "Quick Kibummie, this shop has some cute things for sale" Jonghyun spoke happily, a cute bounce in his step. I couldn't help but laugh, I had never seen Jonghyun so happy about shopping for clothes. Inside the shop was some cute clothes and various accessories."Jjong, where are you" I called when I couldn't find him in the shop. He was just like a hyper puppy, excited and running off the moment he set foot in the store. I decided to have a browse around, maybe I could make this shopping trip worth while and get some new stuff for my wardrobe."Bum Bum come here quick" I heard Jonghyun shout out, the voice came from the changing rooms and he sounded like he was desperate. I managed to find him and he pulled me into the small changing cubicle, blushing like mad when he remained in the room and pulled the thick curtain along."Put these on Bummie" Jonghyun said to me softly as he placed some items in my arms. I stared at them for a minute before doing as Jonghyun said, feeling a little shy about being topless in front of him. I put on the top and accessories that Jonghyun had given me without giving it much thought but Jonghyun seemed to smile wider as he saw me wearing the items he gave me.Jonghyun wrapped an arm around me as I gazed into the mirror and gasped lightly, we were wearing couple tops. They were sleeveless, Jjong's was black while mine was white, we had couple rings, couple hats and couple bracelets on. I was shocked yet I felt giddy that Jonghyun wanted to wear couple things with me. "We look so cute , right Bummie" Jonghyun beamed happily as he pulled the curtain back and dashed to the till to pay for the items.I could only giggle lightly as I walked to where Jonghyun was, I felt like a school girl on a date with her crush, the blush just got redder on my cheeks as Jonghyun showered me with compliments and affection. I couldn't help but keep smiling warmly seeing how bubble Jjong was. He took my hand and intertwined our fingers as we walked out to go and find somewhere to get lunch. I  felt butterflies in my stomach again and I felt my heart beating faster as a gazed at Jonghyun. I wasn't actually falling in love with my best friend was I?We didn't have a fourth date as it was our wedding day. I was nervous, I wasn't sure what to do, did I have to kiss Jonghyun after we said I do? I had never felt so nervous, Onew, Taemin and Minho had come along to the wedding. The moment they arrived at the venue, they just teased us so much, Minho tried to kidnap me but Jonghyun wouldn't let him.Taemin and Onew just decided to tease us about previous dates that had happened between before. I felt so embarrassed yet inside I felt like a child in a sweet shop. We didn't have many guest there, it was just a few other idols that had come along for the sake of it or for a laugh. As I stood at the alter with Jonghyun, I felt so many mixed emotions, it felt so real.The thought of actually marrying Jonghyun made me feel really warm inside, my heart was beating so fast, my hand's trembled in Jonghyun's larger hands. Jonghyun smiled warmly at me, his puppy eyes just glittered brightly and honestly Jonghyun was just glowing with happiness. "I do" Jonghyun said happily as he gazed into my eyes. It was like he had forgotten there was camera's around, it truly felt like a real wedding between us."I..I do" I managed to stutter out, feeling silly that I was close to crying, this was a fake wedding yet to me it felt so real. I always thought Jonghyun was a handsome man but seeing him all dressed up in a black suit with a white shirt and pink tie made him look even more gorgeous if that was possible. His white fluffy hair was styled perfectly straight with his bang's falling just above his puppy eyes.I was wearing a white suit with a pink tie and a small pink flower in my jacket pocket. It felt weird that two men were doing We Got Married and it was me and Jonghyun but yet it felt so right, I had not laughed and felt so happy then I had the past few days. As we finished saying I do, Jjong leaned forward and pressed a small kiss to my cheek.Once again I blushed harder, my cheeks matched the colour of beetroot, everyone cheered and threw confetti as me and Jonghyun left hand in hand. We was going to head out on our honeymoon next and I just couldn't imagine what was going to be in store for us. All I could think about during the reception was how I wanted the wedding to become real, I think my feeling's towards Jonghyun were growing stronger each day and I knew he was more then just a best friend to me.Our honeymoon was not something either of us had in mind, Jjong seemed to quite like the idea. He seemed quite happy to be camping in a tent, it was located in the middle of some green which was surrounded with tress and woodland. It was a very popular camping spot with many other tents already up and people walking around. There was a lake just out side out by our tent and we had a small camp fire and a tiny tent for food to be kept in.I wasn't so keen on camping with wanting to be clean and warm when I sleep, not out in the wild when bugs could bite me and crawl all over me as I sleep. Jonghyun put the tent up fairly quickly, with the odd help from me when I wasn't pouting and moaning about how cold it was. I missed home, and having all my luxury items with me, we was only going to be here for a few days but it felt like it was going to be longer with how time dragged.We took a walk around the woods just before dark, talking about anything and everything, I even learnt some new things about Jonghyun that I didn't know before. He certainly was leaving me wanting more from this fake marriage, I was actually thinking how glad I was that I did sign up to do this show now. I was thankful to have been paired with Jonghyun as well, he had made the experience one of the best and I was going to treasure the memories even though I hated camping.While I went to wash before bed, Jonghyun told me he was going to have a surprise for me. I was left so curious as to what he was going to do. Out in the middle of no where, it was difficult to think of anything that would surprise me. I had pinched one of Jjong's tops to wear to bed along with some baggy basketball shorts, it was a habit I used to do in the dorms, I just liked to wear Jonghyun's shirts to bed.His scent always relaxed and calmed me as I would dose off into a peaceful sleep. As I finished up and grabbed my few belongings, I slowly walked back to our tent, the grey clouds above didn't look to nice, I couldn't help but think it was going to rain all night making me feel more nervous. Jonghyun was stood out side, in a vest top and baggy shorts with a wide goofy grin spread on his lips."Close your eyes and take my hand Bummie" Jonghyun said to me softly, I trusted him so I took his hand and closed my eyes, slowly getting down on to my knees as I felt Jonghyun tug me forward into your tent. Once I felt something soft on my knees, Jonghyun got me to open my eyes, gasping a little at what he had done for me. Jonghyun knew I wasn't keen on camping so he had turned the inside into a cosy bedroom.There was two duvets covering the floor with our sleeping bags fully open like duvets so we could share, Jjong had made two little pretend tables either side and there was a cup of hot chocolate for me on there. Above our little fluffy pillows was a little dim lamp so we could see and Jonghyun had even put my book out, I felt special and loved. This wasn't even part of the programme as the camera's had only filmed outside and we was on a break. That night as it rained hard, I got to cuddle up to Jonghyun and slept peacefully through out the night as the owls hooted, fox's howled and the wind blew. I never felt so safe then I did in Jjong's arms that night.Once we got back from our camping honeymoon trip, we got dragged to the beach by the Pd and staff. It seemed like a great idea only they had to chose the day the weather was bad, it had been raining, it was very windy and the sea was rough. What made it worse was that they wanted my self and Jonghyun to stand on the rocks, we were bot unsure but over all had no choice but to follow the rules.We had water proof jackets on but it didn't stop us from feeling so cold and scared as the waves crashed hard in to the large rocks by the sea.  Jonghyun held my hand tightly, scared in case anything happened to us or if we slipped and fell, he still made me feel safe even though it was obvious we were in danger. Even with wearing water proof coats, we both ended up socked from the strong waves crashing in to the rocks, the wind got stronger as he stood there filming, it felt like the waves got more vicious.I couldn't of been happier to hear the staff say we could get down from the rocks, I was scared although Jonghyun never let go of my hand. As we climbed down, a huge wave smashed into the rocks, causing it to shower over us. I slipped and fell hard on a sharp rock edge, cracking the side of my head. Jonghyun freaked out as he saw blood, screaming for the staff to call an ambulance, the filming was halted and Jonghyun was by my side for the whole thing.He removed his jacket to wrap around me to try and keep me warm, carefully he carried me down from the rocks so I was safely on the sand. Jonghyun kept on talking to me "Stay with me Key. Can you hear me Bummie. Help is coming babe" were words that were whispered to me.  His grip on my hand tightened, our fingers remained intertwined which made me feel a mix of emotions, I was in pain and hurting, scared and cold yet Jonghyun made me feel loved, safe, calm and collected.I tried to speak when I could but my lips felt like they had turned blue from such bitter cold weather. The ambulance arrived fairly quickly and I was stretched away and Jonghyun would not take no as an answer, he wanted to come with me and stay by my side during this time. I could see his puppy eyes looked worried, scared and sad, his hand never left mine as we went off to the hospital.Luckily I only had to stay in over night, I had gotten fourteen stitches in the side of my head and had some medicine to take. Jonghyun had stayed the night even though I kept poking him and nagging him to go home and change out of his wet clothes. That night as I watched Jonghyun sleep by my side, I realised my feelings for him were real, not only was he my best friend but I had fallen in love with him over the course of doing this show.I was in love with my best friend and I couldn't had been more happy yet more scared in all my life. Either way I was just so grateful to have Jonghyun in my life, he was hands down the greatest thing to happen to me and I knew I couldn't live without my cute puppy by my side, as a friend or lover. Once I was home and back working, we decided to hold a karaoke night instead of continuing with a beach date.Me and Jonghyun giggled and laughed through out each song, trying our best to recreate some of the girl group dances. Onew, Taemin and Minho came along with us and it was one of the best nights of my life. We sang and danced to 4minute's Crazy, EXID Ah Yeah, Kara's Cupid and Dal Shabet'S B.B.B and many more.  During takes for filming,  Jonghyun was always there, whispering in my ear."You look beautiful Bummie" and "Don't feel down babe, you are perfect the way you are". It made my heart flutter knowing Jonghyun could know how I was feeling with out saying a word to him. I was feeling a little self concious with having these stitches in my head and a bandage wrapped round but Jjong's words truly made me feel beautiful, cared about and loved.After that day, we had a few more small dates, we went to a theme park before the weather turned cold as it was coming into winter. Jonghyun couldn't help but wrap my scarf a little tighter around my neck and made sure my coat was done up properly. I blushed so much when he pecked my button nose, it was already red from the cold so my cheeks didn't look so bad, his worrying over me only made me fall more in love with him.We went on a few rides, luckily Jonghyun didn't force me on to any scary rides as he knew I hated heights. He even won me a large, fluffy white puppy plushie and it looked like him so much. I even teased Jjong about it but I clutched on to the plushies tightly, holding it close to my chest. We ate cotton candy, teased and joked about and it was such a fun day, I had gotten my stitches out that evening after the date and Jjong refused to stay at home.Once again he held my hand tightly and smiled warmly, muttering "I am so proud of you Bummie". It hurt a little bit but having Jonghyun there for support was all that I needed to get through the appointment. Soon the last episode had been filmed, we went to the beach (we stayed safely on the sand this time). Jjong played the gutair for me and sung a few beautiful songs he had written over the months we had been pretending to be a married couple.I once again felt a mix of emotions as our time on the show came to an end, I wanted to continue, the thought of being married to Jonghyun these past few months had been amazing and now I had even fallen in love with him. I wasn't sure if he felt the same but I hope he knew just how special he always was and always will be to me. I remember the day of our fake wedding when Onew, Taemin and Minho teased us non stop, we couldn't stop blushing.They joked that we should get married for real and I always remember Jjong shyly looking down, biting his bottom like, cheeks rosy red. If only he knew how much I wanted our wedding to be real as well, being on We Got Married had been the best and worst thing to happen to me. It gave me a taster of what life was like being married to such a handsome, loving and caring man, a man I had grown to love and cherish dearly.The worst part about it was that it was just fake, once the cameras went off, I knew things would just go back to normal. Don't get me wrong, I treasure our friendship but my love for Jonghyun is just forever growing stronger, I had learnt so much over the months about him. He truly cared for me and about me, he looked after me and made me feel wanted, beautiful and taught me what love truly is. I had honestly never felt such an intense, over whelming feeling like love then I had done over the past few months, in my 23 years of life, Jonghyun has been the only one I have ever loved dearly.Once the director shouted cut and the cameras got turned off, I felt a sting in my chest, expecting the worst to happen. We had shared a small press of lips before saying goodbye to end our run on the show, Jonghyun remained seated beside me on the sand, shuffling closer to grab my arm. "Don't move Key, stay seated until everyone had gone" He whispered into my ear.My eyes widened in surprise and I just nodded my head in response to his question, I had no idea what he was planning but I felt excited and nervous. It didn't take long for everyone to leave, it was getting colder so everyone rushed to get back into the warmth and get some food. Once everyone was gone, I expected Jonghyun to drop the whole loving husband act yet his hand still held mine, our fingers intertwined as we watched the waves softly crash in to the beach.No words were said for a while, it was just the sound of the seagulls flying above us the the sea trying to crawl up the beach. I turned to face Jonghyun when I found him gazing at me, his gaze was intense and there was something else shining in those honey brown eyes. No words were said, I just closed my eyes slowly as I felt warm, plump lips slowly press against my own bow shaped lips.We became lot in each other as we heavily made out on the beach, Jonghyun hovered above me when we needed to part for air. Jonghyun rested his forehead against mine, smiling warmly like he had won the jackpot or something, "I love you Kim Kibum, please don't let us end here. Please say your be mine and continue to make the happiest,luckiest man alive" Jonghyun whispered in between soft butterfly kisses.I couldn't believe what I was hearing, Jonghyun loved me, I had to pinch my self to make sure it was real and not some strange dream coming to tease me again. Tears began to fall from my feline eyes as Jonghyun's words slowly sunk in. "O...Of course I...I be your Jjongie. I love you too my silly puppy" I chocked out and smashed our lips together once more, I felt so alive, so happy and most importantly I felt love and knew Jonghyun felt the same.These past few months may have been a fake marriage to the public eye but for us, it was the start of our beautiful relationship blossoming. While fans dream that what we did was real and the public know it is fake, we know that every touch, loving gaze and giggle meant something to us. I never imagined I would end up with the man of my dreams as my boyfriend at the end of We Got Married.Maybe that show does have some use after all, it certainly helped bring me and Jonghyun closer to the point where we fell in love and now we have many years to have many more dates. This is the end of our first chapter together and now a new page is beginning with us officially together and we couldn't be any more in love. I love Kim Jonghyun, he makes me so happy and alive yet safe and calm.I can never imagine my life with out him now. I knew the other three were going to tease us even more back at the dorm but it is so worth it. Each night I get to snuggle in those strong arms and I get to kiss those plump lips each morning. Life surely couldn't get any better for us now."Hey Bum Bum, what are you reading there baby" Jonghyun asked me as I placed my diary down on the bedside table. I smiled and turned to snuggle in to his open arms, loving how perfect his arms fit around my waist. "I was just reading about our time on We Got Married Jjong. All those memories have made me realise just how lucky I am" I replied happily and leaned up to peck his plump lips.The both of us smiled in to the simple, loving kiss, tingles crawled over my body. I still can not get over how delicate Jonghyun sometimes touches me, he always makes me feel so loved and wanted, it still feels like yesterday we were on We got married. I can never forget how our feelings grew over those months and the staff had no idea that our actions and words were not fake at all."We are back where we started baby, you remember this area right" Jonghyun asked me in between soft kisses to me neck. I giggled lightly, muttering a small yes in reply to his question. We were back in the same place where we had our honeymoon during filming only this time we were staying in a small, cosy caravan. Not much had changed around us though, our bands mates happily accepted our relationship and of course they continued to tease us even more but deep down we knew they cared for us.We were still both so happy, four years after being on we got married which got it's highest ratings when it was our turn on there. Everyone seemed to be really positive about us even the public loved our silly antics, and sweet moments, if only they knew that it was actually real. Four years had passed and we were both still madly in love. I remember when we had to go back to work, it was hard at first to leave when Jonghyun would come home from his radio show.I still remember the text message I got from him while I was recording for some entertainment show. I was so bored and missed Jonghyun dearly, I hadn't gotten much time to see him as our individual actives overlapped. While on a break, I checked my phone only to end up smiling brightly at the message I had gotten. Though out the day he had sent me various messages but two really made me feel so happy, loved and gave me the strength to hurry up and get through the day.To: My Beautiful Kibumble bee

Those messages got me through the day and that night we ended up ordering take way and eating junk food in bed while watching movies. Well I say we were watching movies, it was more like they were playing in the background while me and Jonghyun caught up on some serious snuggles and love making. I was a very lucky man and that was something I will never tire of saying, Jonghyun has helped me grow into a young, fine man, he helped me grow in confidence.Jonghyun also gave me the support and reason to work harder and improve my self, over four years I feel like a completely different man. I was happy, strong and more in love with Jonghyun then I was before. We were currently back at the same place where we had our honeymoon for we got married, the place hadn't changed a bit instead it had gotten more beautiful.There was just one big difference compared to last time we was here though, we was there as Mr and Mr Kim, officially married and now we was having half our honeymoon here as we thought it would be kind of sweet. Me and Jonghyun had recently gotten married and we couldn't be happier, a new chapter was just beginning for us now and this is the start of our beautiful married life.I was beyond excited to live the rest of my life in my husbands arms. I remember our wedding day so well, it always feels like it was just yesterday we both said "I Do" to each other. Jonghyun looked even more handsome then the first time, all dressed up as he stood at the alter like the proudest man alive. Once again he was dressed in black only this time he wore a black tie, I wore white white a lilac coloured tie onto match the colour of some of my flowers.I cried as we said our vows, it felt so surreal hearing the man of my dreams confess is love to me in front of many people. It was even more surreal knowing that we were saying our vows for real this time around. Once we were announced as husband and husband, Jonghyun kissed me like never before. Unlike the small peck I got during our fake wedding, this kiss was full of passion and love.It left me utter breathless and weak at the knees, we whispered those three words to each other before walking back down the aisle hand in hand as husband and husband. We may have gone on We Got Married for entertainment reasons but it was the beginning for us. "I love you Kibum" Jonghyun whispered to me as he pecked my forehead lightly, I couldn't help but smile. I can never get bored of hearing those words said." I love you too Jjong" I replied, feeling quite tired. It had been a long day for us but now even if it was raining heavily outside, I was snuggled up to my husband on a small bed in a caravan and life couldn't get much better then it is now for us. We both fell into a peaceful sleep, our fingers intertwined together and my head resting on Jjong's chest.Listening to his heart beat helped calm me in to a deep sleep, the soft thump was the reason I never gave up and the reason I am alive. This time we got married for real though and there as absolutely nothing fake about our wedding, honeymoon or our feelings towards each other. We was connected for life I couldn't wait to life the rest of my life as Mr Kim Kibum, Kim Jonghyun's husbands (for real this time though and our gold band rings that surrounded our finger's were the solid proof).A/N Hello lovelies ^^Thank you to the 46 subscribers ^^ I hope you ann survived and enjoyed this fluff :DI also hope it was perfect for the request :3Comment, Subscribe and enjoy lovelies <333I will see you again soon ^^
