Your Majesty, the wedding ceremony begins in two hours.
The robes have been laid out, as per House Lee’s custom.
Jungkook sits motionless before a tall mirror, staring at his reflection in silence
Jungkook
This isn't how it was supposed to be.
Not with her locked away. Not without Jimin…
He quietly said to himself
He runs a hand through his hair, sighing deeply.
Jungkook
Leave me. I’ll change on my own.
The chamber empties. Silence returns
Jungkook

He continues to talk to himself.. And begin to change into his wedding dress.. Each layer feels heavier than the last..

A dimly lit room. Medical supplies and maps cover the wooden tables. A figure coughs violently under thick blankets
Taehyung
Easy. You're safe now.
Jimin
Where... where am I?
Taehyung
You’re in the Northern barracks, near the borders..
Taehyung

I swapped your clothes with his.
Smashed his face so badly no one could tell.
Jimin

Taehyung looks away. The weight of truth thickens the silence
Jimin
We have to take her out of that hell...
A sea of nobles fill the hall. Trumpets sound. Jungkook stands at the altar, cloaked in crimson and white..
Guards announce Lady Jihyun's arrival
Jihyun enters with a soft smile, veil over her face. She walks toward Jungkook, but his eyes are distant..
Jungkook
I see Yn in every shadow.
This isn’t a marriage.
It’s a betrayal I’ll spend my life trying to undo.
