Yn was well rested by the time the guests started to arrive for the grand dinner. She was just dusting off her dress and inspecting the final touches when there was a knock on the door.
"Yes?" She questions, fixing a bobby pin in her hair bun.
The door opened and one of the house workers walked in. The man was old and dressed in his serving attire, one of his hands folded behind his back while one folded in front with a napkin dangling from his arm.
"I am very sorry to disturb you Madam Yn however you father requires your company downstairs." He says and Yn smiles at him through the mirror.
"In a moment." She replies and the old man nods once before leaving, closing her door.
Yn takes a deep breath and looks at herself one more time.
The gown she was wearing was a simple royal blue mesh, that reached down to the floor and matched her diamond ear rings. The cloth underneath the mesh was pure silk, covering every inch of her body, except the back, which was bare of any cloth till the mid waist.
Not waiting for another invite, she gently walked out of her room. As she walked closer to the stairs, she could finally hear the music and the sound of human chatter. Her insides began to twinkle by the thought of so many people in a single room after so long. It had been years since she had witnessed any such thing.
Walking down the grand staircase, she finally caught the first glimpse of the atmosphere.
There were a lot of people, all dressed in beautiful colors of gold and silver. They wore heavy jewelry and bold colors on their lips.
America hadn't given her such a sight.
The men were wearing expensive suits, their hair gelled back and cigars dangling from their mouths.
As she descended down the stairs, closer to all the people, she began to smell all those expensive intoxicating perfumes. She was overwhelmed.
Upon her final descend she sees her father patiently waiting for her. Even he seemed more lively.
"You look beautiful Seashell." He said looking at her and finally looks at her ear rings.
"Haven't taken them off a day, have you?" He says and Yn smiles.
"Couldn't bring myself to." She replies and her dad nods.
"Your mother loved them too." He says and sighs before shrugging off the gloom he suddenly developed.
"Come on, what do you think of the party?" He says ushering her forward, with her hand hooked in his arm.
"It's lovely dad. I wished to see a party like this in America." She says and he laughs.
"Ain't no place like Asia Yn!" He replies heartily and she nods smiling.
Her father nods on, talking to people along the way, introducing her to some while others ushered to introduce themselves.
All of this seems to disrupt when the front door opens and three men walk in. They all wore over coats and matching fedora caps with the rim lined with sharp metal.
The atmosphere had turned icy on the arrival of these men and she couldn't help but notice the sudden silence. One of the man looked familiar to yn from the check post earlier however she doesn't say anything.
The waiters quickly went to them to help them out of their coats and hats, taking them away leaving the men more bare and finally more visible.
"Seashell why don't you go and meet some people around?" Her father says to her as he notices his daughter looking at the men.
Yn could tell something was wrong as she quietly unhooked her arm from her dads and walked away to a distance, making sure she was not seen by the men.
As she rounded the corner she began to spy at them.
"Mr Hyun." Paolo greets the brothers with a fake cheer and looks as Jungkook nods at him.
"How do you do Paolo?" Jungkook replies but he could tell the pleasantry was forced.
"Good. Good." Paolo replies and Jimin smirks at Paolo's discomfort.
"Why don't you enjoy the party for a bit and we could perhaps talk business later? Just us?" He says and Jungkook grunts looking around the grand foyer, not really knowing what he was searching for.
Paolo nods and scurries away like a scared mouse as Jungkook turns to his brothers.
"Enjoy the party brothers and Taehyung, don't take a women home you half drunk bastard. Mia will kill you." Jungkook says and his brothers laugh before splitting up. Getting to business instantly.
There were a lot of important people at the party and they needed to make their connections. By the end of the night, Paolo would finally bring everything together like the final move in a game of chess.
Paolo was the most important chess piece and they needed his allegiance till the end of his days.
Jungkook takes in a deep breath and finally turns to the party. Yn quickly turns away and yelps when she sees a man standing behind her.
"God!" She says placing a hand over her heart, startled.
"Madame Yn, with the most honest of intentions I think this place isn't safe for you." The waiter from before says and she looks at him. It had something to do with those men. She was sure of it.
"Why so?" She asks him politely, and the waiter looks down.
"I am not in the liberty to say much but Korea has changed in ways more than one." He says and Yn looks at him hoping for further explanations but none came. The waiter left as swiftly as he came leaving her there with her thoughts.
Yn thought over the waiters warning with every ounce of logical thinking in her, as she approached the grand staircase going up. She needed to know more and she knew just where the answers were, her fathers office.
As she walked up the stairs, Jungkook looked at her back, ascending the flight of stairs and disappearing off to the left corridor.
Knowing there was a good half an hour for dinner to start, he walked up the flight of stairs rather slowly, and began to follow her at a safe distance. He new she was the girl Jimin was talking about. The diamonds in her ears were pretty evident.
She swiftly walked along the hallway, her heels echoing and her hair bouncing under the orange light, the top floor was a bit dimly lit as compared to the foyer to discourage people from going there.
Soon she stood outside her fathers office, resting her head on the door to listen for any sound inside. When she was sure no one was there, she rested her hand on the door knob and turned it however, she was disturbed to notice it was locked. She twisted it again as if to confirm the situation, but it was as it had proved to be.
This house never held any secrets, no room was ever locked. Her father had always preached complete transparency, but then why would he lock his office.
Something wasn't right.
Standing there, her mind began to roam in itself. Her next option was to pick the lock however she is stopped by shock as she hears someone behind her.
"Snooping are we?" She heard a voice from behind the curtain. She turns around to see a familiar man.
"Why would I be snooping in my own home?" She says as Jungkook steps forward. Closer up, he looked more broad, more tall and quite sinister.
"Maybe you could tell me?" He replies smirking and Yn moves back, uncomfortable.
"The dinner is being served downstairs, you should join the guests." Yn says and quickly side steps him walking away with swift strides.
She looks back to see the man not moving, just standing there in front of the office, watching her leave.
