"True strength is when you have a lot to cry about but choose to smile and take another step forward instead."


Jiah stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the delicate straps of her sage green dress that draped elegantly over her frame. The soft fabric flowed gracefully down to her ankles, catching the light in a subtle shimmer. She turned slightly, checking her reflection from different angles, a nervous excitement fluttering in her chest.

A/N: The dress.


Seungcheol emerged from the bathroom, straightening his crisp tuxedo with practiced hands. His eyes widened slightly as he caught sight of Jiah in her attire, a genuine smile spreading across his face. "Wow, Jiah, you look absolutely stunning," he remarked, his voice filled with admiration.


Blushing slightly at his compliment, Jiah turned to face him fully. "Thank you," she replied with a hint of shyness. "Do you really think so? I wasn't sure about the colour..."


Seungcheol stepped closer, his gaze unwavering. "I mean it," he assured her, reaching out to gently brush a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "You always know how to choose the perfect outfit."


Jiah smiled gratefully, feeling a warmth spread through her at his words. "Thanks, Seungcheol. You clean up pretty nicely yourself," she teased, giving him a playful nudge.


He chuckled, his eyes lingering on her. "Shall we head to the wedding? We don't want to be late."


Together, they made their way downstairs to the hotel lobby where friends and family were gathering, all dressed in their finest attire. The venue was just a short drive away, and soon they arrived at a picturesque garden where the ceremony was to take place. Rows of white chairs were set up facing an elegant floral arch under which their friends were exchanging vows.


The ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt, with laughter and tears marking the beginning of their friends' journey together. As the evening turned to night, guests enjoyed dinner and dancing under a canopy of twinkling lights. Jiah and Seungcheol shared dances and laughter with their friends, the tension of recent months fading away in the joyous atmosphere.
