SEVEN

i took another big breath and started to walk down the long stairs, my heels meeting the soft black carpet as the eyes of the crowd were set on me.
making me feel like a sort of celebrity, who just made her appearance at a fancy gala.

as i did the last step, the guests literally divided into two perfect parts, spreading in the hall and allowing me to walk through the small space they just created.

whispers and whistles started filling the room, while i tried to keep my focus on lucas, who seemed to be even farther than before.

another few steps and i now stood in front of the blonde haired male: he sincerely looked surprised, but quickly got back to himself.
he gently took my hand into his, kissing it.
the contact between his plump lips and my covered skin, making me shiver a bit and signaling the resume of the party — a joyful melody being played right away.

without even realizing, lucas drew me closer to him and started moving according to the rhythm.

i could feel the piercing, yet curious gazes of the rest of the guys on us, but i decided to shrug it off.
i brought my attention back to the boy in front of me, who was obviously staring back. although he wasn't speaking, i knew he wanted to, but kept silent anyways.

the now slow music sweetly crudled us,
an ethereal atmosphere sorrounding the party as i slowly closed my eyes and put my trust on lucas, letting him guide me throughout while i tried to enjoy the moment.

«so at the end you came into my world.»

he whispered and i could already imagine him smirking

«i was dragged into your world, it's a different thing.»

i heard a small laugh escaping the boy's lips, i then decided to open my eyes which obviously met his.

«you'll never regret being brought here, irene.»

he said and although my name was pronounced with that weird accent of his, i still found it attractive.

i believed him.
i knew i wouldn't regret being brought here.

what could go wrong in such a beautiful place?

«nothing can go wrong in this place.»

he suddenly affirmed, startling me a bit as my thoughts were shut off.
he totally read my mind, not that this was the first time.

being the curious girl i was, i decided to ask him more about the present matter and what happened to his previous ones

«i just like having good company.
it's not that the boys are not enough, but i never had a female friend, so yeah...»

he did it again.

«the previous girls wanted more than just a friendship and unfortunately for them, i'm not interested.
that's why when i discover their real intentions, i immediately get bored and yes: if you don't meet my expectations, you're out.»

he then continued saying.
he kept doing it, reading my mind and speaking before i could eventually do that.
leaving my questions unasked and answering them right away.

creepy, yet fascinating.

the music stopped again, our attention shifted to the musicians who seemed to have followed jaehyun's command.

a group of exhibitionists and jesters took their place, earning the guests applause and appreciation

«this is my favorite part of my parties, come!»

lucas exclaimed while grabbing my arm and heading towards the first row of people, from which we had a better visibility of the imminent show.

«ladies and gentlemen, it's nice to see you again!
we wish an happy birthday to our king, hope you'll enjoy this year's exhibition as well !»

a young boy dressed in yellow happily said, his arms spreading wide as some of his co-workers, standing behind him, started spitting fire from their throats — giving an amazing effect to the background of the room, screams and surprised expressions made by the amazed nobles.

we walked backwards, leaving more space to the group which started to show off to its excited public:
men cycling around on giant unicycles,
ladies dressed with exaggerated outfits trying to involve all of us by proposing games and basic magic tricks.
and jugglers playing with their skills, attracting the younger kids.

i stared at all the scenery in awe, with my jaw dropped.
it was like being in a circus, but being this close to such a masterpiece, was one thousand times better.

«this is beautiful...»

that was all i managed to say

«i know right?
and this is only one of the many wonders i'll show you.»

i slowly shifted my gaze, my eyes now on him — looking at his imponent figure while wondering what kind of things i would be seeing from now on.

«don't worry and trust me.»

he then mumbled, his voice covered a bit by the fireworks being suddenly exposed,
earning the attention of both us and the rest of the guests who quickly ran to the big window that faced the green flowery meadow.

the light of those beauties sweetly illuminating lucas' face: joy and happiness clearly displayed on it.

a face full of pureness and ingenuity
so lovely, yet dangerously piercing
so natural, yet unbelievably surreal.

i wonder what did i really get myself into.
