I saw a comment on Chapter 33 that made my day while writing this. I can't put a picture since it's from my phone so I'll just post what they said here-

@priyapatel0416 : I love the story and the concept you have going on. I can't wait to see who is going to bond with her next. I can't wait for the next update.

I love hearing what you guys have to say about my story and it warms my heart knowing you enjoy it so far ^w^ I'm in no way a professional writer, but I will continue to do my best and keep making amazing content. Fighting!

While the staff had previously insisted on me wearing red for this performance as well, I told them that for my solo I wanted to embody the night sky. Therefore, I wanted a dress that was a dark blue to represent the deep sea above Namjoon and I that night. 

The outfit they chose for me was nearly exactly what I pictured, only I hadn't really imagined the exposed chest area. You know, since I hardly have a chest to begin with?

The dark blue dress is accented with gold designs, the skirt slit all the way to my upper thigh. I feel a bit like a work of art as I slip into the fabric, the gown itself fitting my figure exactly. The skirt of the dress pools at my feet, but not enough so that I trip over it. Just enough to make a small train around me while I walk.

How they managed this I have no idea, but all I can say is I fell in love. I need to know who they hired to make this or bought this dress from, because they are my new favorite person in the world. Besides my grandmother, Gisselle and the boys of course.

Thank you @cas__girl once again for finding this dress!

I won't have to change my makeup again after this, since they put a light golden shadow on my eyelids. The silver eyeliner is back on and the look is finished with a pale pink gloss over my lips. The makeup is supposed to bring attention to my eyes without going overboard, that way I don't have to worry about how my face looks for 'Spring Day'.

"You look amazing."

I look over my shoulder to see Namjoon standing there, blushing a bright tomato red. "Ah, thank you," I respond as he walks over to me. Our leader nods, helping me up to my feet with a smile.

"We'll be able to see your performance from the dressing room, so we'll be cheering you on from there," Namjoon says softly, and the manager coughs from the platform, tapping her wrist.

"Guess I better get out there," I joke, causing him to roll his eyes.

"You're going to do great. Just remember to believe in yourself. You've got this." Namjoon replies with a dimpled smile. His words send more warmth through my heart, butterflies settling in my stomach a bit.

"Don't worry, I know. I'm not just playing for me though," I say quietly, causing my soulmate to raise a brow in confusion. Even though I'm wearing some navy blue heels I still come up a little short, so I lean up on my toes and place a gentle kiss against his lips.
