White satin and silk was draped beautifully around the archway that led to the entrance of the garden. The flowers were all in bloom, the many rows of seats that had been set up were filled to capacity, and Habaek stood there with the priest. He like all the others were waiting on the arrival of the bride. Habaek wasn't the only one.

Eun stood there in her lovely dark blue, maid of honor dress. She was of course trying to keep Hana from running away or hanging herself. Oh, and of course she was being the ever supportive friend.

Hana had locked herself in the bathroom and refused to come out.

"Hana, please open this door!" She pleaded.

"Fine, fine." Hana sighed as she opened the door. She was beautiful, with flowers intertwined into her hair and a soft dress that seemed to flow like water.

Eun thought Hana had never been more beautiful than she was wearing that dress.

"I know you're not happy, but you just have to make the best of this." That was when Ayanna arrived. Crap, just what Hana needed. Wasn't the poor girl dealing with enough already?

"It's just I can't believe this is happening, they even waited until nightfall too." She sighed, Hana was not a happy camper. This wonderful and beautiful night was going to become even more of a hellish nightmare for Hana. Hana's great and wonderful sister Ayanna opened the door, slowly, with one hand suspiciously behind her back.

"Hello, sister."

"Hello… Ayanna." Hana snarled at her sister. The presence of Ayanna was the last thing Hana wanted today. If Hana could get rid of Ayanna for the price of marrying Habaek she would agree to the contract without a second thought.

Eun was horribly suspicious of her friend's ever scheming sister. Hopefully the nuisance would leave relatively soon. Preferably before Hana killed her and stained that wonderful dress of hers with Ayanna's blood.

"Heh. I have a wonderful wedding gift for you." Ayanna cooed, smiling evilly. She stepped into the room and showed off her 'gift.' There stood the annoyingly egocentric sister holding the leash that held back a rather large dog. But the dog was not a typical dog. It was a Che.

With the mere mention of the word 'gift' Eun instantly became wary. No good could come of this. That was precisely when Eun saw the dog. She wasn't stupid, as soon as the 'dog' came into view she knew exactly what it was. The Che may have looked absolutely harmless, but she knew exactly what the creature was capable of.

"Goodbye sister." Ayanna sang as she dropped the leash and closed the door behind her. As soon as Ayanna left the room Eun looked over at Hana and grimaced.

". . . . What a wonderful wedding present." Hana muttered as she backed up with Eun.

"Um...yeah, I can't even pretend to be optimistic about this...we're screwed."

Elsewhere, Habaek and the rest of the gods were becoming restless waiting for the bride. Habaek looked over at Ju-dong and the dashing looking fire god merely shrugged.

"Ju-dong, go see what's taking so long." Habaek ordered.

Ju-dong nodded and went off to find the two (doomed) girls. Ayanna smugly walked past Ju-dong who paused to watch her walk. Typically Ayanna boasted about what she was smug about, but not this time. Which caused Ju-dong worry about what Ayanna might have done to Hana.

"Well. Do you think screaming like a frighten child would work?" Hana asked as she skillfully maneuvered herself and Eun away from the Che and towards the bathroom she was hiding in previously. The Che slowly crept towards the two girls, unsure if they would strike back. This pause was long enough for Hana and Eun to fully walk into the bathroom, backwards. Hana groped for the door, the Che pounced sensing it's opportunity to obtain a meal. Thankfully, Hana was slightly faster than most of Che's prey. She slammed the door into the Che's face, infuriating it beyond all reason.

"Door, you are amazing. PLEASE HOLD." Hana whimpered as she locked the door and backed away as the Che started to viciously claw at the door. To Hana's dismay the Che was quickly demolishing the door.

"I think this is the time to start screaming." Hana stated as she looked at Eun with frightened eyes. Hana took two deep breaths and then she screamed. As loudly as she possibly could.

Eun just nodded at Hana's comment. She was far too worried that too much extra noise would possibly provoke the Che into attacking. Eun wished that she could just freeze the Che where it stood, unfortunately for her, there was a severe lack of water. Damn, she felt absolutely useless. As soon as the Che finally decided to take the chance to viciously dive at them Eun felt her heart speed up, and threaten to leap right through her chest. It was a miracle that she had kept herself from screaming.

Eun had never felt so glad to have Hana as a friend. However, before either girl was able to celebrate the Che was breaking down the door. It didn't take long before the girls could easily spot it's evil yellow eyes staring at them through the holes in the door.

Eun couldn't agree more, and at long last the ice goddess opened up her mouth and let her lungs heave out enormous, defining screams of terror.

-

A horrid, blood freezing scream pierced through the air sharper than any weapon known to man. It was followed by a scream of someone who knows that their demise is eminent.

Everyone heard the two girls screaming. Everyone.

Ju-dong heard these screams and panic filled him. He knew precisely who those screams belonged to. Driven by this new terrifying motivation, Ju-dong ran as fast as his legs would carry.

He only hoped that he got there in time.

Habaek bolted off of the altar and towards the screams. He hoped that Ju-dong was significantly closer to the girls than he was. He prayed with every fiber of his being that Ju-dong would make it in time. Unlike him all of those years ago.

-

"I really do hope that someone has good timing." Hana muttered as the Che ripped the door apart. It could fit it's enormous head through the hole it had created in the door.

"I would even go for Suh-wang-mo saving us now."

Eun was offering everything she had to offer in order for them to be saved. She'd do anything if it meant them being able to continue living. Eun couldn't die now, she still had a ton of things left to do before that could even remotely happen.

The Che broke the entire lower half of the door off and it's shark-like, sharp teeth gleamed in the light. It took the opportunity to lunge at the two girls.

Eun shut her eyes. She didn't want to see Hana die, she didn't want to witness her own death either. Hana also cringed as the Che broke through the bottom half of the door and lunged towards them. She really didn't want to see herself ripped apart and devoured as a midnight snack.

It felt like forever, and she kept expecting the excruciating pain to seize her...but it never came. She couldn't stand it anymore, Eun opened her eyes to see the Che burst into flames, and incinerate almost immediately before her. Eun blinked rapidly, barely believing what she had just witnessed.

"Sorry to disappoint ya Hana."

"You only disappointed me in one department Ju-dong" Hana sighed. Grateful that someone had save their sorry asses.

Eun looked over to see Ju-dong looking absolutely, astoundingly, incredibly sexy with a very pleased look on his face.

Habaek appeared in the doorway completely out of breath and looking distraught. He quickly looked around saw that the girls were okay and the smoldering corpse of the Che. Hana was about to comment how it was Ayanna who set the Che loose of them but was stopped when Habaek rushed over to her and embraced her. His embrace was tight but not tight enough to force the air out of Hana's lungs.

"-Er?" Hana asked the apparently emotional Habaek.

"Who did this?" Habaek asked, his voice full of pain. Which immediately estranged Hana but she answered him unsure of what would happen next.

"Ayanna.."

"She will pay." Habaek growled before letting Hana go and rushing out of the door.

"Wait- Wha?" He was already gone before Hana could ask him what he was planning to do to her sister.

"Well.. That was short." Hana muttered, "I doubt he's going to find Ayanna." She was correct. Habaek ordered as many servants, gods and goddess he could to find Ayanna. But no one could find her.

After pushing through a wave of concerned gods and goddesses Hana walked towards the altar to wait for Habaek to stop his futile search. Which he did after everyone reported negative results back to him.

Ju-dong walked over to Eun and offered a hand up. She gladly took it and he helped hoist her back onto her feet.

"You ok?" He asked as she pulled him into a tight hug.

Eun looked Ju-dong straight in the eye and then pulled him into a suffocating kiss. After a moment or two she pulled away.

"Thank you." She replied somewhat breathlessly.

Ju-dong just smirked at her and grabbed her hand.

"Come on; let's go watch Hana get married."

Eun and Ju-dong both walked down the aisle toward the Alter. Eun kept her eyes focused directly in front of her. She feared that if she looked at Ju-dong at precisely this moment that her eyes would give her away and that he'd be able to tell what she'd been thinking

"For a second there I thought I was going to get out of this arrangement." Hana teased smiling.

"Unfortunately for you, I do tend to listen to my mother." Habaek replied smiling. Hana naturally had a witty remark for that statement but was cut off by Habaek suddenly kissing her before the priest could say the appropriate lines.

That was it. Habaek and Hana were married. After Habaek finished smooching Hana she promptly pushed him to the side and threw her bouquet at Eun, and pointed at Ju-dong. Indicating that if Eun didn't do something soon Hana would be very displeased.

Hana quietly mused to herself as she and Habaek strolled down the aisle with people cheering and clapping and small pieces of whatever flying into the air that Habaek wasn't a total prick. Maybe things could work out between the two of them, or maybe she'll just enjoy the ability to verbally grill him whenever she was bored.

Who knows?
