Behind the white mask

"So I think I look so handsome that San would drool over me, don't you think too Yeo?" Wooyoung was putting on his outfit for the ball that is taking place tonight at the grand palace.

It's the Prince's 21st birthday and the royalty has invited all the good students of the nearby town to go to the Ball since there could be a possibility that the prince might choose someone to be with.

Many girls have planned to go in with big and modern dresses to impress the prince. Of course, some young guys like the prince and want to get the opportunity too, that includes me.

"Yeah, you look great. I'll go change right now, since my mum made me a white suit for some reason." I say while taking from a hanger the outfit made by my mother.

After getting changed, I stepped into my room and from the bed, where my friend Wooyoung was sitting, I watch him gasp dramatically and laugh suspiciously.

"Oh man, the prince will look for you, if he's gay or at least bi." "Yeah yeah, as you say, let's get going Woo."

Like that, my best friend and I make our way to the palace. The entrance had a giant gate that led into a big entrance for designer cars and limousines. We saw many girls stepping out of cars with luxury dresses, diamonds on their necks and just that expensive girl look.

"Don't look at them, we look a hundred times better." Wooyoung said dragging me to the big door where a guard asked for the names. After passing through there was a big table with many masks, they told us that we had to choose and wear one for the rest of the night.

"Oh~~ masked ball, that's sexy." Of course wooyoung would say that.

There were plenty of designs, some for the whole face, others just to block the eyes. Colors went from pitch black, to pastel colors and to white. Some were very detailed, with little sparkles, small feathers, or plains.

Wooyoung took a black one that had some detailed silver chains under them. It fitted well with his outfit. For me, I saw the white mask, it didn't block much, but it had this big white flower on the side that gave this unforgettable look. (The pic at the top)

After we chose our masks, we put them on and were taken to the main floor. It was a big salon, with many people, dancing, having drinks, and just talking with each other.

An hour or so passed when some bells rang and from the higher floor we saw the king and queen wanting to speak.
"Good evening everyone. We hope you are enjoying the night. From now on our son will walk around and choose someone to dance with him, please be open to accept his request, thank you and keep dancing!"

The music started to play again, a famous song called 'sunrise' said To be danced in pairs, at that moment, Wooyoung found San and they went to the center to dance together.

I was peacefully looking from a side of a snack table how pairs were dancing together. The thing was that I had never known how the prince looks, so I had no idea who it could be.

"Excuse me, you look quite nice tonight." I turned back to see a guy a bit taller than me, with back hair, an elegant suit and the same mask I was wearing.

"Ah thank you! I see you also took the white mask like me. It fits you quite well too, hehet." 'That laugh was embarrassing'

"Ah... thanks, would you like to have this dance with me." The guy says, chuckling and taking out his hand while half bowing.

This guy looks so formal I thought while taking his hand. He guided me to the center of the stage.

"Uh, I haven't had a ball dance before, I'll try not to mess up," I say but the young guy just puts his finger on my lips, meaning to shush. "Let me teach you, it's very easy." His eyes behind the mask were mesmerizing me, he gently took my left arm and brought it to his right shoulder, his right arm then was placed around my lower hip. Lastly, we connected the other two hands and a new song started playing.

Eight bells rang, each sounding with a span of 5 seconds. At that time, I could see how all couples were being placed around us, Wooyoung and San being one them. Woo seemed so happy to see me, he was giving thumbs up. Then it hit me. I looked in front of me.

"Oh you are the prince, right? Sorry, I didn't realize, I-" He cut me off, leaning onto me. I felt his breath close to my ear. "Don't use ur formality now, it was fine how we were till now, now let's dance."

The music started, the prince was guiding me for the first minute but, then I got the grip and danced together without failure.

During that moment, everyone got a partner and danced, many girls were disappointed that they weren't chosen, but others were quite happy that the prince chose a handsome, cute, blond guy.

After the song ended, there was a round of applause and the party continued as normal. I got to speak with the prince, he told me his name was Seonghwa and I could use just his name towards him. I introduced him to Wooyoung and San and were together for the rest of the night.

As people started to leave and the main room was getting empty, the music was louder and less voices could be heard. I found my way towards a door to a terrace, the moon was shining full in the sky, also plenty of stars to be seen. A cold Breeze hit around me that made me flinch a bit, but it wasn't long before a blanket was thrown around my back.

"Oh- thank you Seonghwa Hyung" The taller locked eyes with me and gave a little smile.

"I hope this is not the last time we see each other, Yeosang-ah. I've enjoyed a lot this night with you." He said looking up to the stars.

As I look there too, we spot a shooting star cross from one side of the sky to the other.

"I want to see you again." I blurted out. To my surprise, hyungs face was relieved. Happy?

"Let's not break contact, but before that, could I see your face?" He asked making us stand face to face. The breeze was no longer to feel. We're there people watching? I don't know and I wouldn't care, all I cared was him, I think I like him.

Without many words, I placed my hands on my mask and slowly took it off. Once I looked into his eyes again I saw that stare he gave me when we had the first dance that night.
He stood closer to me, cupping my face with his hands. My eyes closed automatically and I felt how our foreheads touched. It was a wholesome romantic touch.

"Okay Woo, let's leave the lovebirds alone" San was dragging his beloved to get going, since Wooyoung was making pictures of his friend and the prince.

"Yeah yeah, just one more. I'll tease Yeo with these later. And then he will thank me of having these memories when they marry."

"Then we should marry before them, let's go baby." San ended up dragging Wooyoung away, him having a tomato face.
