"You always know how to make my heart skip a beat. But seriously, Tae, thank you for being here with me today. It means the world," she added with a soft, affectionate tone.

Taehyung's gaze softened. "Jennie, you know I'd be nowhere else. We're a team, through the glitz and the glam. Besides, I couldn't miss the chance to see you shine on that red carpet."

As he spoke, Taehyung's eyes sparkled with pride and love. Jennie reached out to hold his hand, their fingers entwining.

"We've come so far, haven't we?" Jennie mused.

Taehyung nodded. "We have, and there's still so much ahead of us. Tonight, let's enjoy the gala and the world we've built together."

Jennie squeezed his hand, sealing their silent agreement.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Kim mansion, Sunwoo was engrossed in a gaming session. His manager had urged him to take a break from his busy schedule, but the allure of the virtual world was hard to resist.

"Sunwoo, you've got fittings in an hour!" his manager shouted from the doorway.

"Just one more level!" Sunwoo pleaded, fingers flying across the controller.

Sunwoo's manager sighed, realizing the futility of trying to pry him away from his game. "Alright, one more level, but that's it, Sunwoo."

"Deal!" Sunwoo exclaimed triumphantly, fully focused on his virtual battlefield.

As the countdown to his fitting continued, Sunwoo's game became more intense. Explosions, gunfire, and strategic maneuvers filled the air as he fought valiantly to secure a victory.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he emerged victorious. With a triumphant grin, he placed his controller down and turned off the console.

"Alright, time to get ready for this gala," Sunwoo muttered to himself, a sudden burst of excitement coursing through him.

He made his way to his dressing room, where the Kim family's trusted hair and makeup team awaited.

The team got to work, transforming Sunwoo from a gamer immersed in a virtual world to the charismatic model ready to grace the gala's red carpet. They meticulously styled his hair, ensuring every strand fell perfectly into place. His makeup was subtle yet highlighted his chiseled features, accentuating his natural charm.

Sunwoo marveled at the transformation in the mirror, feeling a surge of confidence. He donned his tailored tuxedo, the fit impeccable, and adjusted his bowtie with precision.

His manager returned, impressed by Sunwoo's transformation. "You clean up nicely, Sunwoo."
Sunwoo chuckled, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "I do, don't I? Now, let's go rock that red carpet."

Together, Sunwoo and his manager left the dressing room, ready to join the rest of the Kim family.

Kai stood in front of a full-length mirror, his gaze fixed on his reflection. His black tuxedo was a masterpiece of tailoring, custom-made to perfection. It clung to his frame like a second skin, accentuating every contour. The soft sheen of the fabric added a touch of elegance, and the perfectly tailored pants broke just at the right spot over his polished black shoes.

As he adjusted his cufflinks, he couldn't help but reflect on how different this gala was going to be. His usual role as a dancer and YouTuber was set aside for the evening, and he had embraced his family's traditions with grace and poise.

His phone chimed with a message, bringing him back to the present moment. It was a text from Jennie, asking if he was ready to make a dazzling entrance at the gala.
