Stay |unedited| [COMPLETED]

Forewarn

The golden theme of the place, the chandeliers above us, the whole place was screaming fanciness were not helping my already jittery feeling.

I tightened the grip on Namjoon's arm, indirectly informing him that I am not comfortable being at the place. He seemed to get the message for he held my hand that was on his arms.

He leaned into me and say, "I'm here, I got you."

It comforted me a bit but the uneasiness was still there.

A man in dark red attire came near us. His face was covered too.

"Hyung?" He spoke. His voice sounded like..

"Justin, where are the others?" Namjoon replied.

So they have codenames, huh? Witty.

"Christian and Jack were with me but I lost them the moment we stepped here. They immediately approach whoever." Jungkook answered.

Did he just roll his eyes?

Namjoon nodded.

"I don't know about the three others. They separate cars with us." The maknae added.

They were chatting when I excused myself to go to the bathroom. I just need a moment for myself.

"Are you sure you'll go there alone?" Namjoon asked as they both looked at me.

"Yeah. I can manage." I assured him. He was doubtful but I insist on going there alone.

I entered one of the cubicle and sat on the toilet.

I removed my mask and breathed deeply. This place is suffocating me. I just wanna go home.

I went out of the comfort room as I gathered enough courage. Where was Namjoon again?

I mentally face palmed myself. I searched for him at the crowd. I was starting to get nervous when a bump startled me.

I looked at the guy wearing a gray suit. His mask covered only half of his face so I got the hint of who he was.

"Hey there gorgeous, be careful." He said with a familiar smirk as he held my waist, supporting me.

His voice confirmed it all.

"R-Ryan?" I whispered with my trembling lips.

Why is he even here?

"Come again? Did you just say my name?" He asked, getting nearer my face to see who I was through my mask.

I was glad he didn't hear my voice cause he would definitely know.

I got out of his grip and straightened my body. I brushed the non existent dust off me. I was shaking.

I shook my head, dismissing him and walked away. I was few steps far when Ryan grabbed my wrist.

"Are you alone?" he asked.

Is this some kind of a bar for him to ask that?

I struggled off his grip when someone came near us and drag me from him.

"She's with me." A cold and chilly voice spoke.

"Relax, we were just talking." Ryan said smirk on his face then walk away.

I turned my head to the guy beside me. "Yoon Gi?" I said.

"You have a habit of saying my name in public, eh?" He responded. 

It was indeed him. Before I could even say anything, Yoon Gi continued to drag me to where the others were. I saw there Namjoon.

As we walked nearer, I saw his gaze went down to my hand that was being held by Yoon Gi. I immediately took my hand back.

"What took you so long?" Namjoon asked.

"I'm sorry, I was lost. It was a good thing Yoon Gi found me." I said.

It was indeed a mystery how Yoon Gi knew it was me.

We stopped with our conversation when a female in a long silver gown in front spoke with a microphone.

"Thank you, everyone for coming to our yearly Tajemnica party. We will make sure you guys will enjoy this night, so let's cheers!"

Said the familiar female voice. I couldn't point finger at whose person I heard that voice so I shrugged it off.

With that, the people in the hall all raised their glass of drinks and cheers. I was having none with my hands so I grabbed random drinks at the tray the staff passed by holding and raised it awkwardly.

I gulped the sparkly blue drink hoping it would somehow lessen the burden in my chest. I couldn't understand why I still feel like this when I have been in the venue for more than an hour already. 

Namjoon's phone rang. He looked at the screen to see who was calling and turned to me. "I'll go answer this." He said then went to a quieter part of the hall.

I was bored so I decided to roam around the place. Yoon Gi even asked me where was I going and I only replied him, "Just getting some fresh air." Then he let me.

I found a way into a balcony then went there. My heels were audible when I stepped on the marble floor. I held on the fence and closed my eyes as the cold breeze brush through my cheeks.

This is comforting.

"I didn't know you had the nerves to come here." A voice spoke.

I shut my eyes open and turned my head to my side then there stood the woman in a silver dress from earlier.

"Excuse me? Are you talking to me?" I responded then looked around me. There was no one other than me and this girl.

The woman laughed. A bitter laugh. She looked at me with disbelief, amusement and anger. I could see all those through her eyes that was spared by the covers of her mask.

"Who do you think you are to come at events like this? You are one brave slut." She spat.

I observed her features a little more. trying to search for an answer of who she was. Petite body, curly short hair.. angelic eyes.

Could she be..

"Jae Hi?" I spoke not even believing my own voice.

"Yes, girl. The one you stole everything from." She remarked then through her cover, she was giving me generous amount of death glares.

Stole? I didn't steal anything from her. I balled my fists. I was fuming mad.

I remember the game she pulled. She even used Yoon Gi to fool me. And now here she is, saying to my face that I stole everything from her. I was the one that was hurt the most.

How could she?

"I have no thing to discuss with you anymore, Jae Hi. I'm done with you." I spat then turned to my heels, leaving her. I didn't want to cause a scene so I decided to just abandon her.

She grabbed my wrist, digging her long nails to my skin. I could feel it stinging and bleeding.

"I am not yet done with you, bitch. I have to get what's mine and that's Namjoon. I will have him back and away from a lowly whore like you!" Jae Hi said through gritted teeth.

I harshly removed her hands to mine and looked back at her. 

"Go and try. Namjoon loves no one but me." I said with confidence.

Does he?

"Don't provoke me. I know Namjoon. He won't settle for a slut like you. Just ready yourself." Jae Hi threatened as she walked passed me bumping yo my shoulder and left me hanging.

I looked at my wrist and it was bruised and bleeding.

What did she mean by I should get ready? I shook my head. No. I shouldn't be scared. The most important thing is Namjoon's with me.
