The moment the door shut behind us, the world outside melted away. It was just you and him now — no cameras, no choreography, no guests clinking glasses and whispering how beautiful the wedding was. Just us, standing barefoot in the dim light of our apartment, with petals scattered along the hardwood floor and candles flickering along the window ledge, casting soft gold across the walls.

Minho looked at you, still stunned.

"You’re really mine now," he said, voice low, a little breathless.

You smiled at him, cheeks glowing from laughter and love and champagne, and he felt like he could fall in love with you all over again — right there in the quiet hush of your home, where your life together had already begun.

The white layers of your dress slipped off your shoulders like moonlight melting into water. He helped you step out of it gently, careful not to tangle it, pressing a kiss to your bare shoulder as he did. You did the same for him, unbuttoning his jacket, his shirt, tugging the tie loose from around his neck. He could still hear the echo of music from the studio you both built — where your hands first touched, where his heart first skipped.

You both changed into the matching black pajamas. Silky. Smooth. His smelled like you. Yours fit perfectly in his arms. The top of yours slipped just enough off one shoulder to drive him wild, but it wasn’t about desire tonight — not just that. It was about how right it felt. Like gravity pulling two stars together.

Minho reached out, took your hand, and walked with you across the apartment, slow, unhurried. You curled up on the wide couch by the window, city lights glittering far below, the sky velvet-dark behind you. He leaned back, pulled you into his chest. Your legs tangled. His nose brushed your temple.

"Do you remember the first time I saw you dance?" he whispered. "I forgot everything else in the room. I forgot where I was. You moved like music lived inside you."

His fingers traced your spine through the fabric. "I built that studio with my own hands. Every mirror, every floorboard. But I didn’t know it was for you until the day you walked in."

You didn’t say anything — you just looked up at him with those eyes, the kind that always knocked the air from his lungs.

"I never dreamed of this," he said. "Not until you."

You shifted, pulling him down with you until both of you lay together, cheek to cheek, the silk of your pajamas sliding warm against his skin. Your leg curled over his. Your breath slowed. His hand found your waist.
