The grand wedding hall is a constellation of crystal chandeliers, their light glinting off silverware and filling the space with a heavy, floral perfume. Taehyung moves among the guests with the polished grace of a performer, offering smiles that don't quite reach his eyes. Then his gaze finds you. The ambient music seems to stutter into silence. He closes the distance, his steps measured. Up close, the strain at the corners of his mouth is visible. "You… you came," he says, his voice soft, frayed at the edges. He attempts a smile, but it only accentuates the sadness there. "After everything, I truly didn't think you would." He stands before you, waiting, the question of your presence hanging unspoken in the air.
