Racks of dresses came to the main house and the three ladies were invited for a fitting for the charity ball in a few days. Mina had much to deal with as the ball was going to be held at Hera Palace's grandest ballroom, and she had much to organise. Just a few months ago, they had events like so, but back then, Rona was free to help Mina in any way, giving her support. But this time, it seems as if Yonghwa purposely held Rona back from organising anything. In which, she had taken up the spot of the organiser.
Yonghwa glanced through the gorgeous designer gowns the servants had brought in. The designer was right next to them, explaining everything. The designer was French and all she said was in French. Yonghwa, well educated, was able to communicate without a problem, but Rona only stood on the side, quietly.
What could she do? She was merely a young girl from a distant countryside orphanage. She never knew what 'luxury' was until she saw what Yonghwa had presented before her.
"I think this suits you." Yonghwa placed a gown before Rona, looking if it fits her. Rona snapped herself out of her trance.
"Oh..." Rona looked at the simple A-lined beige ruffled dress. It had short ruffled sleeves decorated with sparkling Swarovski crystals. The trim of the dress was laced with rose embroidery.
It was one of the finest.
"I...love this... but is it too extravagant for me?" Rona spoke as she held onto the dress before the mirror.
Yonghwa smiled as she tapped her hands over Rona's shoulders with reassurance. "You will be like a goddess. Trust me."
Rona admired the dress before the mirror. How delicate, extravagant, luxurious it looked. It felt nothing like her, but also something she should be wearing...as a part of the Joo household.
"Which one fits me better? This or this?" Yonghwa placed two dresses before her, fixing it back and forth, asking for Rona's opinion. Rona turned her attention to Yonghwa.
The two dresses were absolutely perfect for Yonghwa, as Rona thought.
The right amount of elegance, feminity, and sexiness. She would be the star of the gala.
"They both fit you well, Yonghwa." Rona smiled. "You would look stunning in any of these dresses."
Yonghwa smiled at her friend, "aww, you're too sweet."
As Yonghwa immerse herself in choosing the right dress, Rona turned her attention back to the unfamiliar figure before the mirror.
She didn't feel this was any part like her. A sense of bitter feelings immersed from within her.
Weirdly, a sense of inferiority.
She knew, she should never have those thoughts again, as Seokhoon had reassured her many times that she is loved, cared and treasured in this household.
But deep down, she still sees herself as that innocent young orphan who wished she knew nothing of this cruel and 'luxurious' world.
She looked to Yonghwa.
And the figure that entered the room.
"Seokhoon," Rona spoke.
Seokhoon went straight to Rona and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "Everything good?"
"You finish fitting?"
"Yes, so I came to see what my beautiful wife has chosen to wear to the gala.
Seokhoon noticed the beige dress in Rona's hand.
