Chapter 7: Fancy Balls

After the party incident, Taehyun's father conducted an extensive investigation into who could've possible let in the Yuka members.

Y/N was cleared from being interrogated since her track record wasn't very long, but the others weren't as fortunate.

Currently, Y/N was in the boy's dorm as Yeonjun walked in from his interview.

"Well?" She asked getting up from the couch.

Yeonjun sighed. "Still nothing, everyone seems to be innocent. There isn't a single member that would be working for Yuka."

Taehyun walked up and stood next to Y/N. "That can't be true. There has to be a mole."

Y/N looked at Taehyun before looking at Yeonjun. "As much as I hate saying this, Taehyun's right. From what I've heard the only way any outsiders could've gotten in is with someone from our side's help."

Soobin walked out of his room with a report in his hands before handing it to Taehyun. "Those are the casualties from last night."

Taehyun took the report. "Thankfully most were injured by fatal gunshot wounds, but we lost some investors which isn't good."

"There's one more thing." Yeonjun said making everyone look at him. "Your father isn't happy you ran out Taehyun, you could've been killed."

Y/N looked back at Taehyun. "You ran out to save us?"

Taehyun looked down at her and sighed. "I couldn't let my friends be killed while I did nothing."

Y/N's heart skipped a beat hearing him call her a friend. Even though he meant he wanted to save everyone, the thought that he wanted to make sure she was okay oddly made her flustered.

"I'll keep doing investigative work to track the mole." Soobin said going back to his room.

Y/N pulled out her phone and checked the time. "I have to go library. The book I ordered for our report just arrived." She put her phone back in her pocket and began to walk to the door before Taehyun followed after her.

"Wait, I'll go with you. After all it's dangerous." He said making her turn around.

Y/N shrugged as she opened and door and Taehyun followed behind.

"So what did your order exactly?" Taehyun asked moving to her side.

"It's just a record book of all known mafias in Korea. I figured it could help with our project." She said making a turn, heading the library building.

Taehyun was about to say something when he was cut off by an energetic girl approaching them.

"Hi guys! Are you going to the Rose Ball Monday night?" She asked holding out a flyer.

"Oh I totally forgot about that." Y/N said taking the paper.

"Well if you're planning on coming make sure you arrive by 6 on Monday!" She said before walking away.

Taehyun peeked over Y/N's shoulder to look at the flyer. "Rose Ball?"

Y/N turned around. "Yeah it's a special dance that I wanted to attend."

Taehyun rubbed his neck. "Oh, that's cool."

Y/N gave an awkward sigh before continuing to the library. "You know I do need a date to the dance...would you wanna go with me?"

Taehyun made a face. "Not really. I don't do fancy dances and stuff like that."

Y/N was oddly saddened by his denial to her request. "That's fine. Not like I wanted to go with you anyway." She said walking into the library.
