December, 8, 1900

It was the day, of the Ball. A lot of royalties are here, since they are going to leave, the day after tomorrow. Everybody was still waiting for the other royals to arrive.

While, the others are still busy getting ready for either the ball itself or something big. Every single royal is required to attend and that also means, Ryujin and Yeji should attend as well.

Although, the two of them hate the idea of it. They still didn't have a choice. Since, they were both forced to come, by some untreatable people. People like Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Kai.

Both Yeji and Ryujin, are plotting on how to at least get back at them or maybe kill them. But, then again, all of them were suffering from it, since all of them are here. Including Taehyun and Chaeryeong since they were forced to be here, by Ryujin.

Speaking, of Ryujin, she was visibly looking for somebody, in the ball. Ryujin was also obviously worried, for something or maybe someone. Ryujin, kept on glancing on the entrance where, it was super crowded. Due to all the royalties who are keeps on coming in the place.

Ryujin was still busy looking around the place, while somebody quickly approached her place, and decided to scare her. Beomgyu asked, behind Ryujin making her jump.

Ryujin said, denying it.

Beomgyu asked, getting much more curious, while smiling.

Ryujin hesitated for a while, but gave up. Ryujin said, and smiled bitterly.

Beomgyu's smile, dropped since he knows the feeling that Ryujin currently has. Beomgyu said, and comforted Ryujin.

Ryujin said. Which made Beomgyu confuse.

Beomgyu asked Ryujin.

Ryujin said, and looked at Beomgyu.

Beomgyu, looked around, to see if he can spot Yuna. Which, he did. She was with Kai, laughing and eating desserts on their respective tables. Beomgyu looked over at to Ryujin just to see her still looking around the place.

Beomgyu, tapped Ryujin's shoulder. Beomgyu said, making Ryujin a bit calmer. But, then Ryujin somehow made a confused look.

Ryujin asked and tilted her head to the side.

'Argh. Why are you so cute?' Beomgyu thought, and took Ryujin's hand and took her to the center of the ballroom.

Ryujin asked Beomgyu.

Beomgyu asked Ryujin, teasingly.

Ryujin said, muttering underneath her breathe. But, it was still audible for Beomgyu, also surprising Beomgyu.

Beomgyu said, making Ryujin laugh at him.

They stayed quiet, for a bit. It wasn't awkward it was just right. It was a comfortable type of silence. It was like it was just the two of them in the universe. They were both dancing, just like before.

Beomgyu asked Ryujin, remembering his memories.

Ryujin then pretended to think. Ryujin said, smiling at him. After that, the both of them continued to dance the night away.

It was almost time for everybody to return to their own bedrooms and rest. That is until; somebody suddenly barged inside the ballroom. Making almost everybody look at that direction.

Even the people who are either busy with dancing or eating. But, once they saw the person, people in the ballroom started whispering.

Minju then quickly walked towards the center of the ballroom, elegantly. She looked over to where Beomgyu and Ryujin were seated with their friends.

Minju said, and looked at Beomgyu straight in the eyes.

Beomgyu shouted at Minju. Which, Beomgyu quickly signaled both Yeonjun and Yeji to get ready when to strike Minju.

Minju shouted back at him.

Hyunjin suddenly cut in the conversation.

Hyunjin shouted at Minju, as he stood up from his seat.

Minju said, and looked at Beomgyu and Ryujin.

Minju said, and looked at Ryujin glaring at her.

Which, confused Ryujin and she immediately looked at Beomgyu who was looking at the opposite way, avoiding her gaze. Ryujin asked Beomgyu.

Beomgyu took a really deep sigh, before answering her. Beomgyu said, while scratching the back of his neck.

Ryujin was left utterly completely shocked with what she just heard. 'He actually likes me too?' Ryujin thought.

Minju said, as she pointed at Ryujin.

Ryujin said.

Minju said, while smirking as if she actually won it.

Minju said.

Ryujin looked at her confused. Minju said, mockingly. Which, made Ryujin look around the perimeter to check if she was lying or not. Unfortunately, she wasn't.

Ryujin shouted at Minju.

Minju just shrugged her shoulders. Minju said, and took out a sword and pointed it towards Ryujin's direction.

Ryujin was about to go to her, when somebody suddenly held her. Preventing her from going to Minju or even moving. Beomgyu said, and tries to stop Ryujin from going near Minju.

Ryujin said, as she tries to get out of his grip.

But, since Beomgyu was very vulnerable when it comes to Ryujin his defense suddenly collapsed down and let her escape from his grasp. Beomgyu shouted, as he tried to go near her. When, somebody took out an arrow and a bow and pointed it at him.

Yeonjun said to Yeji, while glancing at her.

Yeji said looking determined.

Minju asked, tempting Ryujin.

Ryujin said, while going near Minju.

Beomgyu warned Ryujin, but it was too late, Ryujin already reached Minju's place.

Minju quickly put the sword on Ryujin's neck and started pushing her out from the room. Once, Minju was no longer at sight, the minions also started leaving the place, leaving the people inside the room shocked. Especially Beomgyu.
