ROSE YOUNG

"She sits in the makeup chair, staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror. The makeup artist chatters away, but she barely hears a word. All she can think about is the wedding vows she'll have to say, the vows that feel like a lie.

She clenches her jaw, feeling like a prisoner in her own body, as the makeup artist paints her face into a mask of happiness she doesn't feel."

She catches her reflection in a mirror, and she barely recognizes herself. Her hair is perfect, her makeup flawless, her dress stunning - but it all feels like a costume.

When it's time,  Jimin leans in for the kiss, and she accepts it, but it feels like a formality rather than a gesture of love. And as the guests cheer and the parents beam with pride, she feels even more trapped in a life she never truly wanted. She's surrounded by love and support, but deep down, she's drowning in regret and longing for something more.

The whole thing feels like a spectacle, a performance for an audience that demands a happily-ever-after. The wedding hall is massive, the lights blinding, and she feels like she's on a stage, not in her own life.

The weight of expectations is suffocating, and she wonders if anyone in this crowd truly knows the real her, or if they just love the idea of her. It's like the ultimate case of impostor syndrome, and the wedding party continues to swirl around her, oblivious to her inner turmoil.

Rose knows that her fans are invested in her relationship with Jimin, and the thought of disappointing them is almost as crushing as the thought of disappointing her family.

She feels caught in a web of expectations, like she's performing a role instead of living her own life. The wedding proceeds, but she can't shake the feeling that she's making a mistake.

They're the picture-perfect couple, the kind that graces the pages of society magazines and is envied by all. But underneath the veneer of wealth and beauty, they're both trapped in a relationship that may look perfect from the outside, but is anything but on the inside. It's the ultimate irony - they have everything money can buy, but it's not enough to buy happiness. 💸

They go through the motions, exchanging polite smiles and making small talk, but there's no spark, no connection.

The guests may be oblivious, caught up in the glamor and the spectacle of it all, but the truth is, this marriage is built on a foundation of sand.

They're like actors in a Shakespearean tragedy, faking their love for the audience, but longing for something more real behind the scenes.

The gifts probably include stuff like designer handbags, luxury watches, high-end gadgets, and fancy kitchen appliances. It's like a contest to see who can outdo the other, a parade of materialistic excess that's completely out of touch with reality.

It's like these friends are trying to prove their worth through their ability to buy expensive presents, instead of through genuine affection and friendship.

I mean, we're talking about a house in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in all of Seoul, a place where the uber-wealthy congregate. The house probably has marble floors, chandeliers, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and a massive backyard. It's the kind of place that screams "status symbol," not "home." It's almost like they're being handed a gilded cage, instead of a loving home to start their life together.

You can just imagine the whispers and side-eye glances as Rose and her groom make their rounds at the reception. There's probably a sense of jealousy and envy in the air, like everyone wants a piece of Rose's perceived perfection.

But that envy can be toxic, like a poison that slowly eats away at their own happiness. It's like they're all competing in a never-ending beauty pageant, but the prize is hollow and meaningless. It's a sad commentary on the reality of the celebrity world.

A veritable who's who of Korean celebrity royalty! It's like the Met Gala meets the Oscars, but with a K-Pop twist.

The guest list reads like a page from a tabloid magazine: Park Seo-joon, Song Hye-kyo, Lee Min-ho, IU, BTS...the list goes on and on. But even with all the glitz and glamour, the underlying theme is that these people are more interested in rubbing elbows with other celebs than celebrating the newlyweds. It's all about appearances, not about genuine joy or connection.

It's the grand exit, the guests are standing, clapping, and throwing rose petals as they walk out of the hall, like they're royalty. They're probably driven off in a fancy car, maybe a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley, escorted by a fleet of black SUVs with tinted windows.

They may look happy on the outside, but on the inside, they probably feel like prisoners of their own wealth and privilege.

Authors Corner.

So yeah, that's it. Welcome to the world of Jimin and Rose.
