Breath hitching upon seeing the gates that once trapped and locked her inside completely stripping the youth and freedom with the bare hands of his father that supposed to shield her and lead her in not too suffocating way, her life before flashed infront of her eyes: balling her eyes in the middle of the night because of the death of her lover everytime her dad found out the secret relationship she had, agonizing pain that made her body trembles, mouthful of degrading that made her feel little and just plain agony hidden in the tall walls of the place you can never call home.

Stomach churning as disgust swirls inside of her stomach that makes her want to drive away from the place and go back home to the base just to throw up and cry out loud. Skin itching as the traumatizing memory shamelessly crawl in her skin, his words echoing in her mind like a broken replay like it is some thumb forcefully squeezing her down to the ground. Uncomfortable and miserable are the few words that can fit the feeling she have right now and it is sickening.

Jaemin gently pats her exposed shoulder as the girl squirm to hide in the corner of the seat where she is sitting right now, the dreamies can't help but to feel bad for the older who terribly shake while staring into oblivion into nothing but looks so so scared. Jisung, who is sitting next to the girl slowly moves closer to lay her head in his shoulder as he murmur comforting words that he and she can only hear.

Meanwhile, her soulmate who's seating next to Jeno just look at her using the mirror in hanging in the middle and can't help but to feel angry to the disturbing trauma the today's celebrant had caused her that continues to hunts her upon hearing the news that they're coming back to their family house. The leader groan and nudge his head to Donghyuck signing him to do what he had commanded the tanned male to do.

Donghyuck passed them their desired masks as this is a masquerade ball to celebrate the Zhong siblings father's birthday, all of them dressed in a formal black suits under a black button up that compliments their black silk masks that hides their eyes: Jaemin, Jeno and Jisung while Donghyuck's and Chenle who is already inside as the only family member representative alongside with his stepmom (Meigui's mom) wears a mask that covers half of their face (just imagine Bj Alex's mask lol).

The shiny expensive white limousine successfully entered the massive gates and classily parked by Jeno in the middle of the red carpet that will leads to the stairs up to the widely open double doors of the mansion while the paparazzi impatiently flashed their cameras upon seeing the vehicle stopped infront of them whilst the guards and bouncers push them back to their places to provide a walkable path.

“Love, listen to me... breath slowly okay? there there you go it'll help you to calm yourself down hmm also don't worry since you have a mask to protect your identity from your father since the gossip about Júhuā having looks of Meigui already died down two months ago. And I'm here with you okay?” Renjun assures the calmer girl in a comforting way whilst securing the tie of the mask in behind her. The girl just nod in response and smile a bit.
