Chapter 5: Run Away

It was as if time had stopped. Everything around her became null. And the only person she could see was him. 

The last person she thought of marrying.

Her idol. 

She grew up with his cousin so she also interacted with him. They only spoke of simple greetings; there was nothing that could lead to marriage. They were just simple kids. There was no romance that blossomed between them. No childhood sweethearts of some sort. They were just kids who happened to know each other. 

Growing up, she knew his talent for singing early on. And at that time, she knew that he was meant to shine. He was born to be a superstar. 

She sincerely rooted for him. 

She was his fan. 

And now, she's going to be his wife. 

How ridiculous is that?!

And just by seeing his handsome smirking face, her brain went haywire. 

'What in the good novel is this?! I'm marrying my superstar idol! 

Damn am I so blessed?! 

Is this real?! 

Is this a prank?!' she thought as she frantically searched the vicinity for hidden cameras. 

“Dad, is this for real? Is Aias going to marry me?” she whispered to her dad. 

“Huh, don't you know? I thought your grandma told you. We thought that you agreed because you're marrying him?” 

Her hands that were holding the dazzling bouquet of flowers trembled as she neared Zacharias. 

She couldn't stop her hands from shaking. 

She was feeling all sorts of complicated emotions even before she stepped inside.

And now, she was feeling scared. 

Scared of marrying her idol. 

'Just how can I live with him?! His fans will eat me alive! How can I marry my idol?! How would he react if he finds out that I'm collecting his photocards?! How would he react if he found out that I attended all his fan meetings?! How would he react to the fact that the girl he's marrying is an avid fan?!' she anxiously thought. 

But then a sudden thought came into her mind. And this made her stop walking. 

'What if grandma forced him because they know that I like him?! All because I'm his fan... He...'

She was only a few feet away from him but she stopped. 

The music also stopped. Only the deafening silence filled the hall. 

Her father looked at her bewilderedly. “What's wrong, Lis?”

“Dad… I…”

Her guests all looked at her anxiously. They were afraid that she changed her mind midway and wanted to cancel the wedding. 

She looked back to the entrance to prepare herself to go out. She did, however, notice her grandmother at the door, seated in a wheelchair. She was still wearing her old gentle smile as she watched her on her wedding day. 

Looking at her weak grandma, eliminated all her plans to run away. 

She bit her lip to prevent herself from crying. She grabbed her father's arm before gently pulling him along as she walked again. 

None of the guests dared to speak. They all witnessed what happened. 

The bride changed her mind. But she still went on. And this was all because of her grandmother. 

They all unanimously agreed to never speak of this outside this church. They will keep their mouths tightly shut. 

Phyllis and her father continued walking without the accompaniment of music. The musicians felt that it would only soil the bride's mood if she hears her favorite song playing again. 

And they were right. Phyllis felt more at ease with silence. Hearing her favorite Luna song play before marrying Zacharias is just plain awkward.

When they reached Zacharias' side, her father placed her hand on top of Zacharias' big hand. 

“Treat my daughter well. That's all I ask,” Harold seriously said. 

Zacharias flashed him a sincere smile. “Of course, dad.”

Hearing Zacharias calls him dad, irked Harold. He suddenly had the urge to take back his daughter from this hooligan…

Hand in hand, the couple walked towards the altar to face the priest. 

However, on their way there, Zacharias leaned closer to his bride to whisper something. 

“Are you still going to run away?”

His low enigmatic voice tensed her whole body up. 

“No…” she meekly answered. 

He lightly chuckled. “Good.”

…

At the reception, the meal was served to all the guests. 

The program is simple. They did not dare to drag it any longer because of what happened earlier. If the organizers still dare to proceed with the simple games they prepared then it would just dampen the bride's mood. 

Everyone in attendance is a close friend of the families, Lohr and Lu. They were all filtered out based on their importance in the couple's hearts. So there were only a few guests aside from the immediate family. Given Zacharias' fame, they made sure that they are all trustworthy. 

Zacharias' bandmates were all present at the ceremony. They went to Phyllis and Zacharias' table to personally congratulate them. 

Cassiel beamed as he scrutinized his sister-in-law. 'I could cover my sister-in-law's face with my hands! So cute and small!' he mischievously thought. 

“Hi, sis-in-law!” he energetically greeted. 

Phyllis who was now surrounded by her favorite boy group is now thrashing her mind in delight. 'Oh my! Heaven granted me this very very rare opportunity of meeting Luna!!!! This is a fangirl's dream! I don't want to wake up! I just want to stare at their handsome faces! My gosh!!!!' she internally screamed. 

Though she was rejoicing, she still maintained her cordial smile. “Hello,” she sweetly responded. 

Ryder just nodded his head in approval. 'Sure enough, the frog's wife is pretty' he acknowledges her silently. 

Rain politely offered his hands to Phyllis. “Hello, sis-in-law~ It's nice to finally meet you!”

Zacharias frowned when he saw Phyllis accept Rain's hands with a beautiful smile on her face. He unconsciously raised his brows as he stared at his friend's hands. 

Feeling Zacharias' burning glare made Phyllis consciously take back her hands. 'What the hell~ Rain's hands are so soft~ I can die now that I held his hands!!' her fangirl heart couldn't help but be satisfied. 

Yesterday, she was just watching them on her phone. She was just peacefully listening to their music…

But now…

She met all the members of Luna!

Above all, she married her ultimate idol!

How sick is that?!

Truth be told, she was on the verge of passing out. If not for Zacharias' sexy voice, she wouldn't even have the motivation to stand up. 

She was still high with the drug called marrying your idol. And it would probably take a while before she sobers up. 

Till then, she decided to just enjoy the dream of marrying Zacharias Lohr.
