Oath

Chapter 16

The day was finally here. All sorts of fancy cars were stopping in front of the red carpet as gentlemen dressed like in the magazines and ladies with elegant dresses made their way out. The flashlights of cameras were lighting up their way to the entrance. Classical music was flowing beautifully over the whole front yard. The air was filled with a flowery scent. It was exactly like a scene in the movies. Your car was waiting in the enormous line that seemed to never end.

"You look stunning tonight, sweetheart." Taehyung whispered in your ear.

"Stop. We're not here for this." You smiled.

"Might as well enjoy it while it lasts." He kissed your cheek.

The black limousine came to a standstill. The door opened, letting the chilly air touch your soft skin. You were about to step outside when Taehyung grabbed your wrist, making you fall back in your seat.

"Didn't you forget something?" He held the black mask with delicate dark glitter lines in front of you.

You snatched it from him as he chuckled. He ran out of the car and came to your side while you put it on. He adjusted his suit and posture and offered you his hand, making your heart race. You gracefully placed your hand in his and stepped out in the flashlights. They were all in awe of how beautiful you two were. You could hear them whispering to each other how you could be the king and queen of the night. You looked up at Taehyung. The mask he wore made his eyes ever more mesmerizing. Long locks of hair were at times covering them, giving him a mysterious aura. He was oozing with charm. If he was poison, you would just drink it all and let it burn your soul.

He could say the same thing about you. Dark blue lace was spreading across your arms and upper body, following your curves, leaving only your back uncovered. From your hips long waves of silk were falling to the floor like a waterfall, the train -that added to its elegance- brushing it as you moved. Locks of your hair were beautifully braided on both sides of your head and clipped on the back of it with the rest of the curls gliding freely over your shoulders, down to your waist. Your eyes were covered in strong smokey make-up, your lips were as red as wine, so tempting they were making Taehyung thirsty. He gave you a quick wink and smiled at the same time you did.

The house was enormous. You stepped in through the imposing doorway that had guards on both sides. The view was amazing. There was a big hallway that seemed to serve as a ballroom now with huge marble pylons here and there. Masked people were dancing all over the floor, looking as if they were flying, all sorts of colors blending into each other. In front, a wide flight of stairs made out of the same marble with gold decorations led to the first floor. Your lips were slightly parted as you took in the whole painting. This was what every girl wanted and even if you were trying so hard to deny it, you were one of them too. Only that this was not your fairytale, it was the layout of a theft. The words of Yoongi were reverberating in your head.

Be extra careful, there are eyes everywhere. Try to blend in as much as you can. Find Golden Pig, he has the key to his room. Find a way to pass it to Taehyung and then get out of there. Jimin and Hoseok will wait until the clock hits 12 and they will cut the power and throw smoke bombs inside. That is your ticket out. Taehyung will pretend to help the guards secure the area and knock them out one by one while Jimin and Hoseok go in from the backside. Wait until Taehyung comes out, take your car, and come back here. Show them who we are.

You took a deep breath.

"Nervous?" Taehyung asked.

"A little. What if something goes wrong?"
