Beyond Boundaries • A KNJ Fanfiction

I opened the bag with trembling fingers, and my breath caught as I pulled out a stunning red wine dress. The fabric shimmered subtly under the light, its elegant design exuding both sophistication and allure.

I held it up, letting the soft material cascade down, its beauty leaving me momentarily speechless. The neckline was delicately curved, and the intricate detailing along the bodice gave it an air of timeless charm.

"His choice..." I whispered to myself, a small smile tugging at my lips. "It's perfect."

For a moment, I just stood there, holding the dress close, the faint scent of new fabric mixing with something indescribable—perhaps the thought of him choosing this, imagining me in it. My heart fluttered at the idea, a mix of emotions I couldn't quite untangle.

I laid the dress carefully on the bed and touched the material again, feeling its smoothness beneath my fingers. There was something personal, something intimate, about him picking this for me. It was as if every thread carried a piece of his thoughts, his intentions, his... feelings?

I shook my head, trying to dismiss the sudden warmth blooming in my chest. "Get a grip, Yn," I muttered to myself, but the soft smile lingered.

Slowly, I began to get ready, anticipation and nervousness swirling within me as I wondered what this day with Namjoon would bring.

I stood in front of the mirror, completely stunned at my reflection. Was this really me? The red wine dress hugged my frame perfectly, its elegant cut and design enhancing every curve. The neckline was modest yet alluring, giving off an air of sophistication.

I had added a touch of makeup—just enough to enhance my features—and my favorite shade of brown lipstick completed the look, adding a timeless charm. My hair fell softly around my shoulders, and the delicate necklace and matching earrings I chose added a subtle sparkle.

I lightly traced the fabric of the dress with my hand, marveling at how beautiful it felt against my skin. It wasn’t just the dress that took my breath away, but the thought behind it.

Namjoon had chosen this for me.

The realization sent a strange, warm feeling coursing through me. He had thought about how I would look in it, how it would fit me, and perhaps how it would make me feel. It was more than just a dress; it was a gesture.

I couldn’t help but smile softly, though my heart raced. As much as I wanted to hold back the emotions bubbling within me, I couldn’t deny it anymore—there was something about him, about us, that was changing.

Taking a deep breath, I turned away from the mirror and headed for the door. Namjoon was waiting downstairs, The thought of him Seeing me in the dress he bought me, is enough to give me goosebumps.

I took a deep breath and began descending the stairs. Each step felt heavier than the last, not because of the dress, but because of his gaze.

Namjoon stood at the bottom, his hands casually tucked into his pockets, his posture relaxed, yet his eyes told a different story.

He was looking at me—blankly at first, but as I got closer, I noticed the faintest shift in his expression. His lips pressed together as though trying to mask something, and his eyes followed my every movement.

I felt the heat creeping up my neck, my heart pounding as I held onto the railing to steady myself. I forced myself to look anywhere but directly at him, though it was impossible not to feel his presence.

When I reached the last step, I finally dared to glance at him.

“Yn,” he said softly, his voice low and steady, “you look... stunning.”
