HANA "are the press are going to be there too, mom?" I asked as I fidget in my place. I really have a bad feeling since we left the boutique. But I'm trying to calm myself down and shook the thought out. I don't want to make mom worried.
But, in the end, I just let out a sigh and keep myself busy with the games in my phone. Even I'm not a 'game person', but I need to distract myself from this bad feeling. Sigh.
After an hour because of the traffic, we arrived at the venue. Taking a very deep breath, I followed mom getting out from the limousin with Yoojung behind me.
Yoojung is wearing a black and blue ombre one strap long dress and I'm wearing a simple black and rainbow ombre long dress.

Both are mom's newest collection from this season. It's revealing, but I feel confident in this dress.
"don't worry, dears. Only selected press I've picked for this charity dinner." mom smiled assuringly. When I heard that, I think I can breath a little bit.
My mom lead us when entering the big hall. I saw some familiar faces of my dad's friends that giving me a small smile which I returned it with the same smile.
I can see the sympathy look the guests giving to me and some with confused reaction when they saw a new figure walking beside me. "is that Mrs. Lee adopted daughter?" I heard some of them whispered about Yoojung.
To be honest, I don't really like the faces from the guests shooting to me and Yoojung. It's like we've come at a wrong place and wrong time.
"you two can sit on our table while I'm going to greet the guests here, okay?" both me and Yoojung nodded at mom before following a man that supposed to walk us to our table.
After we settled ourselves down, I can sense Yoojung's nervous beside me. I chuckled at her. "calm down, girl. The people are not going to eat you." I said before gulping the mineral water in front of me.
"well, their eyes are." I chocked.
"jeez... Don't be so serious, Yoojung. They're just humans. It's their nature judging people from their looks." I said again and this time, Yoojung nodded and didn't say anything after that.

"as you all know, we always do a charity event every year to help the ones who needs. But the only different from the other years is this year's didn't complete. My husband left me and our daughter because of a cancer," mom stopped for a while, then look at me with a small.
"that's why, this year, we've decided to help people who are fighting with cancers." this time, I felt my eyes watered when mom made another eye contact with me.
It's really pained me when I remember my dad left us, and I don't even was on his side on his last breath. When I felt my tears fall, I quickly wiped it. I just want to show everyone that I'm already a strong girl. Or is it?
When mom is already done with her speech, the guests are starting to get up and continue on their discussion, while me and Yoojung are walking to the dessert area, but stopped when a very familiar voice called us.
"Hana? Yoojung?"
Both of us froze on our place. Slowly turning, our eyes widened when Seokjin is standing in his tux also mirrored our expression.
"what is happen-no, I mean, who are you guys really are?"
He asked softly. But the confusion and laced with demanding to me was there. My heart ached when I also caught a hurt tone.
"S-Seokjin.. I-I.. I c-can explain." I stuttered and walk towards him, while he took a step back. I swear my heart shattered. My eyes already watered.
"S-Seokjin, I-I was g-going t-to e-explain to you g-guys.. B-but-"
"well, you better explain to us right now." he cut me.
My eyes rounded when I heard him saying 'us' word. So that means-
"they're in the corner watching us."
"oh god."
Believe me, I really want to dig the floor right now and hide myself.
I really can't see their faces right now.
"H-Hana?"
My world just collapsed.
No... Not him!
I repeat that in my head over 5 times before turning around and saw Taehyung's shocked expression. I feel like I want to cry as loud as I can right now.
Then his face turned to his infamous cold and emotionless face. Suddenly I feel cold sweat coming out on my forehead. I'm afraid.
"T-Taehyu-"
He left.
I hope this is just a dream.
Unfortunately, it's not.
DOUBLE UPDATEEEUUUUU!!!! I hope you guys like it! And see you in the next update!
