All the guests gathered in a large, beautifully decorated hall, their murmurs filling the air with excitement. At the front, Dimitri stood tall, waiting patiently with a mixture of anticipation and joy visible on his face.

The soft hum of conversation quieted as the grand entrance doors opened, revealing the bride. Cheers erupted from the crowd as she entered the room, holding her father's hand, who lovingly guided her down the aisle. Her gown shimmered under the light, and her smile radiated happiness as she approached Dimitri.

At the end of the aisle, her father paused, giving her hand one last affectionate squeeze before placing it into Dimitri's. The two stood side by side, their eyes meeting in a moment filled with deep emotion.

The officiant smiled warmly and began the ceremony, while the guests watched with rapt attention. Among the gathered friends and family, as the ceremony continued, Dimitri and the bride exchanged heartfelt vows, their words a reflection of their love and commitment.

Tears of joy were visible among the guests, touched by the sincerity in their voices. When the time came, they exchanged rings, sealing their promises with a symbol of eternity. The moment was charged with emotion, and as they completed their vows, they shared a tender kiss, a declaration of their union.

The room erupted into applause and cheers as the new couple stood together, now officially married. Friends and family gathered around, eager to offer their congratulations and celebrate this beautiful occasion.

Taehyung sat across the table with his father and mother, forcing a calm expression. His mind was elsewhere, patience wearing thin. They were in the middle of yet another formal family dinner, and he could feel his energy draining. Soon, everyone rose from their seats, preparing to move to the grand party hall.

The atmosphere was lively, filled with excited chatter as guests headed for the celebration. Taehyung followed suit, his eyes scanning the room halfheartedly, until they landed on something that made him stop.

Across the room, he saw Ivy standing with a man. Not just any man-the same one she had been dancing with earlier. His eyes narrowed as a strange feeling crept up his spine. "Who is that?" he mumbled to himself, his curiosity piqued. For a moment, he forgot about the entire party, his focus solely on Ivy. His jaw tightened at the sight, though he wasn't entirely sure why. Was it jealousy? Discomfort? He didn't know, but the idea of her dancing with someone else gnawed at him.

He tried to brush off the thought. It's nothing, he told himself, shaking his head slightly. But as he watched them exchange smiles, the uneasy feeling grew stronger. The man said something that made Ivy laugh, and without warning, he wrapped his arms around her in a friendly embrace. Taehyung's fingers curled tightly around the glass in his hand, his grip tightening involuntarily.

"Why does that bother me so much?" he wondered. His gaze stayed locked on the pair, his frustration building with every second. Without realizing it, his hand clenched harder, and with a sudden crack, the glass shattered in his grip. Red wine spilled over the table and dripped onto the floor, snapping him out of his daze.
