DESIRE OVER LOVE || ON GOING ||

4. THE BALL

The car stopped taking a roundabout over the water fountain. Cameras shutters and the whole environment was too noisy. walking along the red carpet felt like a whole different chapter from another book.

The big banners of celebrities and whatnot looked perfect for a big event. The big mansion exactly looked like a big mansion which she always witnesses in fairytales.

The crimes, romance, and violence were never a thing. She is into fairytales. People might think she is childish but the reality is she find hope in it that there is justice for every wrong in it. The reality of the world and the fantasy were far away. The fantasy does soothe the wounds in her heart. Seeing a helpless being in the cruel world and people letting them go... it's cruel...

In reality, justice was nothing but she can find in fairy tales right.

Tightening her fists she looked at him with confusion in return he just raised his eyebrow." Why there are so many people? "

He assuringly smiled patting her hand and spoke up," Are you nervous?"

" Another puzzle, jerk, he told me it's a small event and here it is a big castle, a fat big castle. ", she mused to herself glaring at him in disbelief.

" It's fine. they won't bother you.", he smiled softly forming a with his fingers, him being cute can be a museum with a pack of profits.

Gathering up the courage, she held her dress and was about to open it but he stopped her.," Let me get down first", she smiled in return.

walking along the red carpet, she felt like the whole world was about to end, she thought he could cover her little petite appearance but it only grabbed her unwanted attention. The media and continuous shutters of the cameras and their questions drove her crazy. She followed him like a lost puppy who finally found a sniff of a similar aura.

she just can't digest the fact that she just witnessed a whole goldfish before her. The ball hall, covered with gold curtains and lightings took her eyes out, Adding a Beethoven classic, perfect mood to dance.

since it's still the beginning they started it with a classic, God knows the end. Rock or hip-pop...

Her eyes wandered all over the room. The white-clothed table and chairs tied with red ribbons surrounded along.
Champagne was placed beforehand, few were seated while few were wandering around the ball admiring the paintings that were hung on the big white walls.

The lavender scent from the scent diffusers earned a deep inhale from her.

After settling herself in one of those chairs beside him she never left her eyes from her lap, fidgeting with him. she didn't even realize how many hateful daggers and confused looks were all over her.

wriggling in her chair, she grasped his attention, slightly smirked and that was completely different from the situation. He chuckled at her innocent form.

The ballroom was occupied after a few minutes, She slightly dared to look around the crowd. Few of his colleagues or might be his friends came along and offered him a shot.

The bright lights were dimmed for a moment and the flat-surfaced stone more like a disco stage. The music played along with ballets who did artistic work with " swan lake ", One of the works she admires most.

After a breathtaking performance, everyone appreciated them, but the thing that lingering her mind is Is it a ball or not Until he announced the charity was organized for the artists and the people who were unable to achieve their goals.

The funds were raised in no moment. The moment he finished his words the media bombarded him with questions.

" Mr.Kim, Would mind introducing your new date this time? ", A woman asked who looked quite polite and professional.

" Ms. Lia had been your date for the past 3 years!"

" Or is true you are married? "

" We heard that you dumped Ms.lia ",

He didn't answer anything but he growled out aloud at once and changed his face into a smooth smile," Ms.lia has nothing to do with it. We were just friends and I'm not dating anyone back then. So, ms. lia was just my acquaintance and finally, Yes! Im married and here is the lady, She is Aera, Kim Aera.", he snaked his arms around her waist and grabbed her closer to him. Her eyes widened, the ball resided with silence for a moment before breaking into whispers.

The ball purpose was finally done. The music played all along with it. Few were dancing, others were drunk to death. Not a even single word slipped out of the talkative chatterbox.

Her situation exactly resembled a newly transferred student, Sitting beside him was easy but she was surrounded by people. Gulping on her Saliva, she didn't even dare to use her mobile.

" Who needs mobile, when you are gonna enjoy the ball", Her own extremely useless thought drowned her down.

Dripping her down, she played with her fingers, sometimes the wave of her gown. But nothing is helping her. She can't even ask him to," Yah! Kim taehyung I'm bored and you are talking with others", She shooked her thoughts out before she could let them out.

That's it she is done, The smooth conversation of his friends and all was over until her stomach destroyed her and everything. It growled loud enough for him to hear and the lady was probably in her 30's. He stopped his words in the middle only to see her slapping herself in embarrassment.

" What is it you idiot. You literally ate a big bowl of ice cream before you left.", she internally cursed herself.
