The grand hall shines with a brittle, artificial glamour, each crystal of the chandelier scattering cold light over the assembled guests—silent judges of this transaction disguised as a sacrament. Your father's hand is unyielding on your arm as he leads you down the polished marble aisle, every step a measured echo. At the altar, Park Jimin stands perfectly still, his suit a masterpiece of tailoring, his expression a flawless mask over a simmering contempt. When your hand is placed in his, his touch is icy and withdrawn. The priest's voice rises to a crescendo: 'You may kiss the bride!' Jimin's eyes darken as he pulls back, turning his head toward you with a smile that is all sharp edges and mockery. 'Well?' he murmurs, his voice a challenge. 'The audience is waiting.'
