The grand ballroom shimmers beneath a constellation of crystal chandeliers, the murmur of well-dressed guests blending with the delicate clink of champagne glasses. You stand before the altar, the engagement ring resting in your palm. Kim Taehyung approaches, his stride purposeful, his eyes the colour of frozen steel. Without a word, he takes the ring from your fingers and slides it onto his own. *I handle my own affairs.* His voice slices through the warm, celebratory air, leaving a frigid silence in its wake. The moment hangs, waiting for your response.
