Nascent

Chapter Twenty-Nine

You are greeted by the sight of Meghan preparing for the event. "Y/N, you're still not ready? Come on, we don't have time," she exclaimed with a hint of urgency in her voice.

Your gaze fell upon her, who was adorned in a transparent diamond-detailed mermaid long skirt, paired with a top embellished with diamonds that made her appear as though she were dripping with moonlit water droplets. Trying to take it all in, you couldn't help but exclaim, "You look stunning, OMG! Actually that's an understatement because you look gorgeous like you're some celestial body"

Meghan blushed at the compliment and replied, "Thank you." You couldn't resist adding, "You really need to drop the skincare routine because you're glowing."

"Thanks, Y/N, but less talking, more changing," Meghan chuckled, leading you to your closet. "So, what are you going to wear?"

"Have you watched 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'?" you asked. Meghan's eyes lit up, "That's probably my favourite rom-com!"

"Well, my dress is very much inspired by Andie's yellow dress at the end," you revealed, pulling out the long, silky golden champagne backless dress that cinched together at the lower back.

Meghan's eyes widened in disbelief, "No way!"

"Yes way," you confirmed with a smile, holding the dress up. "Y/N, you're gonna look so, so, so pretty," Meghan exclaimed enthusiastically.

Feeling a bit shy from the praise, you playfully covered your face. "A dress like that doesn't match with shyness, Y/N. You gotta wear it like you own it," Meghan advised.

"I do own it," you replied playfully, uncovering your face. Meghan laughed, "You know what I meant. Now, come on, we need to do your hair and makeup and find you shoes."

As you slipped into the golden champagne-coloured backless dress, you couldn't help but glance at the mirror and notice the faint outline of the "I 🫶 DILFS" sunscreen tattoo still visible. You chuckled at the memory and turned around, asking Meghan, "What do you think?"

"OMG, it suits you like a glove! You're gonna steal everyone's breath away," Meghan exclaimed with genuine excitement.

"I could say the same to you," you replied with a teasing smirk. "I only care about impressing one more person after myself," Meghan quipped playfully.

"Namjoon, of course. He's a lucky man," you remarked, causing Meghan to blush. "Oh, Y/N, you flatter me so much," she responded, both of you sharing a chuckle.

"What do you think the guys will wear?" Meghan inquired, shifting the conversation.

"Probably the same old black suits," you replied with a shrug.

"Well, that'll only make it easier for us to stand out and steal the spotlight," Meghan said, gently nudging you as you both laughed.

As you continued getting ready with the tunes of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" in the background, you settled on more natural tones for your lipstick, blending earthy browns to find a shade that perfectly matched your skin tone and dress. Meghan opted for a rosy shade of pink that complemented her outfit beautifully.

For shoes, you chose playful white pumps, while Meghan selected a silver pair of Cinderella slipper-like shoes that perfectly matched the clutch she had chosen and her prominent engagement ring. You decided on a pearl clutch shaped like a shell, which matched the rows of pearls dangling off your back, reaching your waist and resembling a choker at the front. Both of you adorned matching sets of earrings to complete the ensemble.

Lastly, you decided on a low bun for your hair, adding volume and allowing strands to fall gracefully to the side, your signature look. Meghan opted for her hair gelled back and falling off her shoulders, giving her the appearance of a siren.
