Scarlet carefully zipped up the back of Aaira's dress, stepping back to admire her cousin.

Scarlet: "You're almost ready,"
Scarlet said, her voice soft but tinged with urgency.
Scarlet: "The makeup artists will take care of the rest. Don't let your nerves get to you, okay? You've got this."
Aaira nodded quietly, her thoughts swirling in chaos. She glanced at her reflection in the ornate mirror. Even without makeup or the final touches, the dress fit her perfectly, too perfectly. The moment felt surreal, as if she were watching someone else prepare for a day that didn't feel like hers.
Just then, Scarlet's phone buzzed on the nightstand. She hurried to check it, her face twisting in mild irritation as she read the messages.
Scarlet: "It's Taehyung,"
She sighed.
Scarlet: "He's reminding me for the millionth time that it's his brother's wedding too and that I should be there. As if I don't know."
Scarlet rolled her eyes but gave Aaira a comforting smile.
Scarlet: "I hate leaving you like this, but I have to go. You'll be fine, okay? If you need me, I'm just a call away."
Scarlet hugged Aaira tightly before rushing out, bidding quick goodbyes to her parents and leaving in a flurry of hurried steps.
Aaira sat back down, her hands trembling slightly. The makeup artists arrived shortly after, bustling into the room with their cases and tools. They worked on her hair first, transforming her long, silky locks into a graceful bun adorned with delicate pearls and tiny flower clips. Stray strands framed her face, softening her features.
Her makeup was next, natural yet radiant. Soft gold eyeshadow highlighted her almond-shaped eyes, a hint of blush brought color to her pale cheeks, and her lips were painted a subtle rose pink. By the time they were done, Aaira looked breathtaking, like a vision from a dream.
