Tae descended the staircase, her slender frame adorned by an elegant silk saree. Her long, locks cascaded down in loose curls down her back, swaying with each step she took.

The tinkling sound of her silver anklets caught the attention of Jimin, who sat on one of the many couches specially installed for the mehendi celebration, along with Rose who was telling her various things, their hands outstretched as mehendi designers meticulously crafted intricate designs on their palms. Jimin worriedly look towards tae who blinked assuring she is fine and straightaway made her way to the kitchen, helping the maids to provide snacks and beverages to the ladies and guests present.

She moved from guest to guest, offering refreshments with a polite nod and a serene smile, even to the ladies who talked bad about her in the morning making them lower down their heads in shame. 

Once the guests had been attended to, Tae made her way to Jimin and Rose, sitting besides them. 

"Tae...look at my mehendi..isn't it beautiful." Rose said showing her palms, making tae smile at her excitement.

"It's stunning Rose," Tae complimented with a smile. Jimin's tense shoulders relaxed, a faint smile playing on her lips as she saw her genuine smile. As they sat their talking, a voice interrupted in between. 

"Taehyung, come here, you too should have mehendi applied." called out a relative, beckoning Tae to join a small gathering where a group of women had gathered around a seasoned mehendi artist.

Tae excused herself from the duo, as she settled herself among the women. She stretched her hand as the designer started applying mehendi on her hand. Soft music playing in the background making the environment more lively.

Jennie was settled on the middle couch dressed in green lehenga. The mehendi artists drawing beautiful designs on back of her hand. A shy smile adoring on her face as her friends, sitting beside her continuously tease her.

Meanwhile in the back lawn, seated Taeri and yoonji engrossed with one of the mehendi cone they took earlier, trying to apply mehendi on their hand. 

With a look of concentration on her face, Taeri held the small cone of mehendi in her hand, trying to trace patterns on her palm. Besides her, Yoongi who was seating with a frustrating look on her face.

"Uff..it's so hard..I am tired applying and rubbing it off again and again." Complained Yoonji as she cleaned the smudged line from her palm, throwing the cone away. Taeri too sighed as she cleaned her hand with a cloth and nodded.

"Yeah...since half an hour I am trying to make peacock on my hand but it's looking like elephant." Taeri whined.

 "Let's go inside and see what others are doing." Both ran inside.

"Yes Mr Nam...I will contact you once I come back.....yeah...yeah dont worry." Jk was walking in the corridor of the first floor, talking with somebody on the phone.

As he rounded a corner, his eyes inadvertently drifted downstairs towards a group of women gathered. Among them sat his lady love, engrossed in conversation, her laughter chiming like a melody that effortlessly captivated his attention.

Jk's steps faltered, and he found himself leaning against a marble pillar for support, still clutching the phone to his ear. His gaze was fixed on her, a soft smile playing on his lips as he took in the sight of her. The way her eyes lit up when she laughed was a sight that never failed to stir something within him.
