The soft hum of the apartment filled the space as Taehyung stood before the full-length mirror, adjusting the collar of his dark grey shirt. Beside him, you offered a forced smile, carefully smoothing a wrinkle on his black pants. The air was thick with unspoken words and the sharp sting of heartbreak.

"How do I look?" he asked, his voice casual, contrasting sharply with the heavy atmosphere in the room.
