Mafia's Mask

Lust

Just exactly what kind of situation is this? I can't focus anymore but I need to keep in track. There are three more people to go.

The maids led me back to the mansion. Now we went to the second floor and went to the path leading to a huge bronze door. It was another white room with its wooden walls framed skillfully to match its luxury. An elegant crystal filled chandelier lit the Mansion's Music Room.

The huge curtains draped from the ceiling to the floor. It was gathered sideways and cuffed with a silver ornament. The circle mini stage had a grand piano standing in sophistication. Other musical instruments such as guitar, violin, flute, saxophone, cello, trumpet, accordion, clarinet and oboe are available to be played anytime.

At the corner of the room I saw Hyesung sitting on the cajón stunningly with his long legs crossed closely. He looked like a doll while wearing that grey pull over with round orange neck linings. His physique can really be like those fairies but his splendor is something that surpasses standards.

He awkwardly stood up as soon as he saw me.

"Hi Elaine. I'm glad you finally came." He exhaled with relief.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." I don't even know why I am apologizing.

"No – I, uhmm.. It's okay. I just came in to be honest." He admitted and flushed red immediately.

"This is so embarrassing. I always fail when I try to act cool." He added with regret on his statement.

"It's okay. Haha! So should we take a seat?" I tried to save the mood and looked for the table where we can chat.

Hyesung pointed right away to the table near the window right across the room near the fireplace.

Thinking of what I had for lunch - I think my stomach is still not ready for any meal for now. I am wondering what we will have. I might throw up anytime sooner.

"I – I already had lunch. So I decided for us to just have coffee for now. Is it okay?" He asked all of a sudden.

"I am more than thankful! I really appreciate it that you have thought about that." I was overflowing with gratitude. It was such a relief indeed.

"I brought something for you to enjoy – here." Then he gave me that orange jelly candy. Now, I can tell that this is really something that has been part of my system. I seriously believe that this is my constant thing.

"Thank you!" I reached for it happily and ate it just like a toddler. I saw Hyesung's face beaming towards me. I don't know why but he seems like he was having fun.

"You look so cute. I'm sorry I can't help but tell you." He then shrugged his shoulder together with his humiliating commentary.

"I shall get our coffee before I humiliate myself more." He volunteered and stood up in a hurry.

As he closed the door I had a sudden jab of dizziness again. I closed my eyes as he disappeared from my sight only to open my consciousness once more to another memory.

All of the pictures contained a man with a slender body just like Hyesung but he is so unrecognizable since he was covered all over. The fashion that he pulls of was like of a ninja. His face was completely enclosed with a cap, shades and a mask.

His real name was Jung Pilgyo but was known as Hyesung the Sin of Lust. He was characterized for being attractive even to men. This explains his habit of dressing that way. He can be a distraction. He is in charged with double checking the plots of their missions to its smallest details. He is known to always work with Junjin as a unit called The Birds. He will always have the idea of what to do and Junjin will execute it without any questions.

Hyesung took the role as a model since he would not need to talk. Since he is naturally awkward, his contract with his agency was composed with a condition that his pictures can only be taken in a stolen style. The results are astounding as expected since he's already graceful to begin with. This is also the main reason why he did online dating.

I caught myself with tears flowing on my cheeks as a memory of Hyesung appears as if he was fixing my shoelace – it was the first time that we saw each other.

The doors of the room swung open and my melancholic vibes got cut off. I shook my head to get back to my senses before he can even see it.

He looked excited as he sped up his pace while holding the tray of coffee with his own hands.

"Elaine, I asked them to prepare some milk biscuits as well. I hope it suits your taste." He gave me my coffee and it has the taste of the latte that I was looking for. I know I've tasted this before but I can't remember that is why – I tried to go café hopping since I went out of the hospital.

"I made that. You look like your still can't get over it. HAHAHA! I feel so satisfied." He exclaimed. Now I can't even deny the fact that I can really be Zena or Elaine.

"Let me hand you this, for this is yours to have." Hyesung looked straight to my eyes as he presented a ring on the table. He did not let go of it until I voluntarily reached for it.

"Why?" For the first time I had the guts to ask.

"– because no one should wear that but you alone." Hyesung swiftly answered.

"In your time Elaine, I will always wait." He said before he took a sip from his cup.
