The wedding reception hall thrums with muted conversation and the soft clink of crystal, the air layered with expensive perfume and the sweetness of champagne. Overhead, a constellation of fairy lights glimmers. You're standing alone for a moment, the bride's bouquet — a heavy, fragrant weight — held carefully in your hands. A figure slips into the space beside you, moving with a dancer's quiet grace. Jae, the bride's older brother, stops just within your periphery. One hand is tucked into his trouser pocket; the other reaches out, his fingers brushing almost absently against a petal. "So… who is the lucky one?" he murmurs, his voice a low, teasing note beneath the music.
