Dangerous Oppar

ONE

Today was like any other day. Semin woke up early as usual. He cleaned himself before checking his stock market. While scrolling on his phone he saw the little reminder in the corner of his screen, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Today was the day

After spending most of the day checking on his 'business' he decided he should start getting ready. He called Dabin over to help  pick an outfit.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!? You can't wear that shade of red with green!"   Dabin, frustrated as ever, tried to explain for the third time that the colors of his friend's outfit don't match. 

"I look perfectly fine. What's wrong with it anyway?" Semin, who had picked the outfit, thought he looked quite fine. "You know what Semin... let's try something else."

After about 20 minutes of arguing and going through Semin's inventory, an outfit (along with accessories) was finally chosen.

Semin wore a royal blue suit with black dress shoes. The suit was accompanied by pure diamond buttons and a black bowtie. His black hair was elegantly swept back with one single strand in the front. On his left wrist was a watch he had gotten from an auction for about 5M. His attire screamed rich. 

"Did you bring what I asked you to?"  Dabin chuckled. "I'm not 5 Semin. They're in my jeep, come pick the ones you want."

Semin went to Dabin's car which happened to be loaded with firearms. He picked up the ones that interested him the most along with extra bullets... just in case.  He could never be too cautious when going to these kinds of events. While driving Semin made sure to constantly check on his men. He wanted-

no... he needed everything to be perfect.

Semin walked cautiously into the large ballroom. He took a glass off a nearby table while scanning the room for any possible threats. He spotted Dabin and Nova talking to their acquaintances and decided he'll join them.

He raised the slim glass to his nose, inhaling the sent of the translucent pink liquid. He watched the air bubbles disappeared as he swirled the glass. He wanted to savor the taste of the liquid, and it set his tongue on fire along with a burning sensation in his throat as he swallowed. The lingering flavor of passionfruit on his slightly numb tongue. Yes it was strong, but that's why he liked it.

"Hey Dabin do you know what kind of sparkling wine this is?" "It was made in France by Alexander Victor Hugo and it became a big thing in Italy when passion fruit was added." Semin eyed his cousin. He didn't like interruptions but he let her slide.

Nova was wearing an elegant yellow dress. Her hair was in a low bun with a diamond comb holding it in place. She wore a necklace and earring set that matched the comb. She had applied makeup but it was light and warm rather than heavy and layered.

"Who are you supposed to be...belle?"   "Yeah but unfortunately you're not good enough to be the beast."  Semin let out a little chuckle and rolled his eyes.

He continued conversing with everyone normally till the event had started. They were currently seated at a table at the back of the hall when his burner phone began to ring. He looked towards the stage and saw one of his men in position.

It was finally it was about to start.
