The Dance

(A/N): Hey everyone! Sorry for taking so long to update but it is finally here! Thanks so much for waiting and I hope you enjoy this chapter! XD

Arya went fumbling around her room, searching for the one thing that she absolutely needed for tonight. She had gotten all ready, wearing her long, elegant black dress and curled her short hair around her face. She had cute silver studs in her ears and was missing one of the most important things - her necklace.

This necklace was the one thing she had left from her brother, Evan. She continuously searched through her drawers, throwing things out of the way. After a solid 20 minutes, it was like it magically appeared in front of her, buried beneath all of her other necklaces in her jewelry box.

She exhaled in relief, on the verge of tears from not being able to find it earlier. She carefully wiped at her eyes and clasped the necklace at the back of her neck. She looked up in the mirror and smiled, twirling the little silver heart in her fingers. 

It was engraved with her brother's initials, leaving a little quote saying 'Always stay strong my little R.'

Arya then finally felt like she could breathe and she made one last sweep of her house before leaving to the company dance. 

"Dress, check. Keys, check. Purse, check. Necklace, check. Nerves....check."

She then left her apartment, locking the door behind her as she headed towards her car. Arya had no idea what to expect tonight. This was her first time at a company party and the thought of all the people there - bands, managers, reporters - kind of scared the crap out of her. After the little incident, one of the people inside the company leaked what happened to the media and people have been harassing her ever since.

'How gross...' 

'Wow a diary, at her age?' 

'How could she think she could ever have a chance with Yongguk?'

Of course Arya paid very little attention to it and just tried to ignore it all. Some people would send her messages saying mean things but she would just delete them, amused by their words.

She instead focused on working hard at practice and trying her best to hide her feelings from Jongup. He felt the same way, she knew that, but was she really ready to try something with him? After everything that just happened...it was hard for her to say.

On the one hand, she really wanted to but what would happen to him? Would he get in trouble? Would she get fired? All this and more circled in her head the last couple of days, trying to sort itself out. 

Arya climbed in the car, and headed towards the company. It took her only minutes to get to the dance, sneaking in through the employee exit to pass the cameras and red carpet event at the front entrance. She successfully got in with no one seeing her and made it to the where the dance was taking place - the company ballroom.

She thought it was weird that they had a gigantic ballroom in the building but if they do things like this a lot, it kind of made sense. 

Arya walked in and was in awe of the sight before her. There were hundreds of people in the room talking with each other, grabbing food off the tables to the side, and dancing to the music.

It looks like she had just barely made it before they started the announcements for the night as the reporters were still outside getting the guests that were arriving at the last minute.

Arya looked around, hoping to find someone she recognized when a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder. 

"Arya!" IU yelled. "I thought you weren't going to show! I am happy you did though." She smiled at her, still giving Arya the creeps. She wasn't used to IU being so nice and friendly to her yet but it was a work in progress.
