“Do you promise,” Seong Woo asked, resonating with gentle authority. “to keep your vows and love one another unconditionally?”

“I do,” Jason firmly responded.

“I do,” Tae Hyun replied, tears welling in his eyes as he met Jason’s gaze.

Seong Woo broadly smiled as he spread his arms wide. “Then I pronounce you both married.” He winked, a playful grin on his face. “Now, kiss each other!”

The sound of the waves seemed to swell in a crescendo of joy as Jason cupped Tae Hyun’s face in his hands. Time stood still as their lips met, a gentle touch that blossomed into a passionate embrace. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the rose gold sand under a sapphire sky.

At that moment, there were only the two of them–their souls intertwined, their love a beacon on the vast expanse of the ocean. Tae Hyun felt the warmth of Jason’s tears against his cheek, the strength of his arms holding him close. All his remaining doubt and anxiety melted away, leaving behind a pure, unadulterated joy.

Tae Hyun didn’t know what the future held or what challenges awaited them beyond that idyllic paradise. But one thing was certain. Wherever their journey led, they would face it together. Hand in hand, heart to heart, bound by a love that had weathered storms and emerged stronger, brighter, and more radiant than ever before.
