"This is a surprise Madam Lee! How did you know that I'm coming?"

My uncle Jungho asked Grandma as he approached us at the door of the ballroom. The oldman has the nerve to wear a Hanbok. What is this?! His wedding!?

"My assistant informed me that you were in the lobby that's why we waited for you here in the door. Although the couple didn't invited you, we're still glad you made it Jungho." Oooh. Savage as always Grandma.

"Well, I'm family so it's just fitting that I attend this. This must be Amber, the groom?" How many times do I have to tell it. I AM NOT A BOY.

"Uncle Jungho, it's nice to meet you. Yes, I am Amber but I'm not a groom. I'm a girl if you didn't know." I smiled at him and gave him a bow as sign of respect. From the corner of my eye, I saw Kangin doing a sign to me.

"Hahaha! I know, I know that Amber. Just making you laugh, you seem nervous about this ceremony. It's not even legal just a ceremony of sorts."
"Why don't we go inside now Jungho.. your cousin Chae Young is here. Just sit with us in our table so that we can talk. Alright?" Grandma is all smiles but I know deep inside she wants to strangle this nephew of her deceased husband. Ooops. I mean my Grandfather.

"Please do go inside Uncle. I will just check on my fiancée.." Grandma ushered him inside with 2 of his bodyguards. The other guards are prohibited to enter the ballroom.
"I'm afraid only 2 are allowed inside. This is a private ceremony I hope you understand. We prepared the next room as your waiting area. Food will also be serve.. please deposit your firearms to our security. That is not needed here." I told the remaining bodyguards who came with Uncle. Is he going to attend a mobster convention?! They seem more than 20! I called on one of our security and had them inspected and ushered to the next room.

"Amber, all of our guys are already posted. Siwon caught one guy hiding on the ceiling with a sniper gun. He already took care of him." Donghae informed me discreetly while standing beside me and fixing my tuxedo.

"That's great Hae. Better report that to my boss.." I absentmindedly said. "I mean to Krystal my fiancée haha.."
"You look good Amber! That tuxedo suits you, you're looking fine and handsome on that." We suddenly looked at the mirror on the wall of the ballroom and stared at each other. Damn I look good. And I look like....
"We look alike.." he said and I chuckled. Yeah we do look like twins.
"Come on let's go to Krys. Inform the guards at the holding area that they have to feed all of them. The ceremony will start in a few minutes."
We went to the holding room where Krys is staying before the ceremony. I knocked on the door thrice and Victoria opened the door blocking our way.

"Amber! What are you doing here?!"
"I'm here for my fiancée who else! I need to talk to her Vic. Where is she?" I tried to push the door but Vic grabbed my hands and swatted it playfully.

"No you can't see her! It's bad luck!"
"Vic, we saw each other this morning when we woke up. Is that also bad luck!? And this is an Engagement ceremony not the actual wedding." I scoffed at her.
"No can't do! We labored on this for hours! You can see her later when the ceremony starts." She crossed her arms to me raising her brows.
I sighed audibly. Viccccc.... I pouted at her shamelessly like a poor puppy that I am but Vic is like a dragoness that can't be tamed or broken.
"Fine.. I just need to tell her something about the plan."

She narrowed her eyes on me, maybe having second thoughts. "Wait for me here." She went inside the room and locked it. I heard Krystal's laughter from the other side and it somehow made me happy hearing her voice.
I'm actually nervous about what's going to happen later. What if we don't succeed on our plan?
A few seconds after, my phone rang showing Krystal's photo on the screen doing her merong. So this is their bright idea huh!
