Silent Vows

Part 18

Standing by the window, she gazed out, entranced by the beauty of the sunlit day and the clear blue sky.

A soft smile crossed her lips, but beneath that warmth was a twinge of nervousness and fear, her heart uneasy about what lay ahead.

An arm wrapped around her shoulders, pulling her attention away from the window. She turned to see him, smiling back at her.

“What’s on your mind?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. She chuckled softly. “Nothing much. The day's really bright today, isn't it?”

He nodded, smiling. “Take it as a sign and stop worrying. I'm with you right? Remember what I said? You've to be strong.

You'll find me next to you everywhere, with every step you take, supporting and protecting you so there's nothing to fear, got me?” She smiled, nodding.

The rest of the day kept both her and Jungkook busy as they wandered around the house, organizing everything for the evening ahead.

After indulging in a relaxing warm bath, YN pampered her skin, quickly applying moisturizer all over before changing into something comfortable.

She made her way to the dresser and dried her damp hair.

Once finished, she settled down to prepare for the event, allowing herself a moment to think before coming up with ideas for her hair and makeup, initiating the process.

She stood in the soft light, her makeup bold yet refined. Her eye makeup was a perfect balance of understated and alluring, using soft bronze tones to enhance her natural beauty.

She swept a matte bronze shadow across her lids, blending it seamlessly with a warm brown in the crease for gentle definition.

There was a light, almost imperceptible shimmer at the center of her lids, catching the light in a subtle way.

She kept the eyeliner minimal, a soft black line close to her lashes, giving her eyes a gentle, sultry lift.

A light coat of mascara darkened her lashes just enough to frame her eyes without looking too heavy.

The result was a warm, bronzed look that was elegant and quietly captivating.

Her lips were adorned in a smooth, nude shade, soft and understated, yet irresistibly captivating.

The nude lipstick gave her look a natural sensuality, enhancing the fullness of her lips without overpowering the delicate balance of her makeup.

She wore a black silk bodycon dress that exuded timeless elegance.

The dress flowed like liquid silk, the fabric hugging her figure without clinging too tightly, emphasizing her curves with a subtle, graceful allure.

A delicate neckline framed her collarbone. The dress was cut long, falling just above her ankles, elongating her silhouette, while a discreet side slit allowed for ease of movement and a tantalizing glimpse of leg as she walked.

The silk shimmered faintly under the light, giving her an ethereal glow.

With a quiet confidence, she fastened a pair of pearl earrings, completing a look that was both alluring and undeniably elegant.

Breathing out shakily, she glanced at her standing figure, gulping down nervously. For the final touch, she reached out for the brush, combing all the way through.

Her silky hair was swept up into an elegant, low chignon, the strands glistening like satin as they were carefully twisted and pinned in place.

A few soft tendrils were left loose, framing her face with effortless grace, adding a touch of softness to the sleek style.
