chapter eighteen

The evening of the wedding arrived, and as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, the group was already in motion. We had all been preparing for this day with meticulous care, and now it was time to put our plan into action.

I could feel the weight of the day pressing down on me as I adjusted my dress, the soft fabric feeling both comforting and suffocating. Jay had insisted on making sure I was comfortable and looked presentable, but the nerves were getting the best of me.

My stomach fluttered with anxiety as I took deep breaths, trying to calm myself.

Minji, Kiara, and Sunhee were with me, helping me adjust the final details of my disguise.

Minji, ever the enthusiastic one, tried to lighten the mood with a few jokes. “Eunjoo, you look amazing. Just remember, if anyone asks, you’re a high-class wedding crasher.”

Sunhee, still nervous from earlier, gave me a reassuring smile. “We’re all in this together. Just focus on the plan. We’ve got this.”

Kiara, always calm and collected, nodded in agreement. “And remember, the key is to stay cool and collected. We’ve done all the prep work; now it’s time to execute.”

Yoon and Isa, my best friends and constant pillars of support, were right there with us, adding their final touches.

Yoon adjusted a loose strand of hair and gave me a playful wink. “You’re going to knock them dead—metaphorically, of course. Just stick to the plan, and everything will fall into place.”

Isa, ever the voice of reason, checked the details one last time, her eyes scanning every inch of my disguise with a critical eye. “Remember, Eunjoo, we’re all here for Chowon. You’ve got this. We believe in you, and we’ll be right by your side.”

Their presence bolstered my resolve, reminding me that I wasn’t alone in this. We were all in it together, and for Chowon, we’d see this through to the end.

Jay appeared beside me, his face a mask of calm determination. He looked at me with concern. “How are you holding up?”

I managed a smile, though it felt shaky. “I’m okay. Just a bit nervous. This is a lot to handle, but I’m ready.”

Jay took my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “We’re almost there. Just stick to the plan and stay focused. We’re doing this for Chowon, and we’re going to make sure she gets the truth.”

As the final preparations were made, we made our way to the venue, the grandeur of the wedding hall coming into view. The place was adorned with elegant decorations, and the atmosphere was a mix of opulence and excitement.

The place was adorned with elegant decorations, and the atmosphere was a mix of opulence and excitement. However, as we surveyed the scene, we quickly realized our original plan would need some adjustments.

The security was tighter than anticipated, with more guards positioned near key areas and several unexpected guests mingling around—likely associates of Jaehyuk.

We couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.

Isa leaned in close to me, whispering through the nearly invisible earbud that Jay had provided for this mission. "We’re going to have to adapt. Stick to your role, but be ready to shift gears if needed."

Kiara, hearing Isa’s command through her own earbud, nodded and signaled the others.

“New plan, everyone. Minji, Kiara, and Sunhee, you’re our eyes on the ground. Mingle and move around the room like eagles, with Addy’s help. Keep an eye out for anything suspicious.”
