The long-awaited winery event was just minutes away, and Diluc, already dressed in his tailored suit, stood downstairs waiting for you to finish getting ready. He had been calm until he heard your footsteps descending the staircase. Looking up, his breath caught—there you were, in the glamorous black sparkly dress he’d gifted you long ago. He had nearly forgotten about it, assuming it wasn’t your style or that it had slipped your mind. But now, seeing you in it, breathtaking and radiant, his heart fluttered unexpectedly.

As the night progressed, Diluc found himself stealing glances at you whenever he could, captivated by how stunning you looked. He tried to remain composed, too shy to comment, but his eyes told a different story every time they met yours—filled with admiration he couldn’t put into words.
