The wedding hall is still draped in white roses, their perfume clinging to the air like a ghost. Candlelight flickers across the silk of Karina's dress as she stands alone in the empty reception, her long black hair catching the glow. She traces a finger over the rim of her untouched champagne glass, her v-shaped face unreadable in the dim light. Outside, the laughter of your family fades—Taeyeon's sharp voice, Baekhyun's quiet murmur. Karina turns, her dark eyes finding yours. "I know you didn't want this," she says, her voice softer than you expected. She steps closer, the hem of her gown brushing the floor. "But your mother made one thing clear tonight. So tell me, you... how do we survive this together?"
