Sua stayed up that night, not knowing what to think, sure she was happy with where she was with Mark, but something just didn't feel right and she couldn't put her finger on it.

But here she was two weeks later in her house sitting in front of her vanity, The sun was slowly going down and Sua was getting herself ready for Taeyongs Ball or whatever you want to call it.

Sua's hair was curled and fell shorter than usual, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear pinning it back with a shiny golden hair clip, standing up Sua turned around and went to her closet fishing out the dress when she heard the voice of Renjun who had just arrived.

"Renjun you can wait outside if you want, grab the keys to the mustang and bring it around the front please" Sua said unzipping the bag the dress was in, Renjun shouted back an ok before doing as he was told, he wore a black velvet suit that had a silk tie and other silk accents to it, he was excited, he didn't know what to expect but he was just happy to tag along he also excited to be able to drive one of his bosses cars.

Renjun came out the front door to grab his shoes he took off before he entered and closed the door behind him after slipping them on, Renjuns body tensed for a slight second thinking he heard a rustle in the bushes down the side of Sua's house but shrugged it off seeing no one he used the button on the key to open the garage and proceeded to do as he was told.

Sitting in the car he waited and waited until he became suspicious as to why she was taking so long, Renjun left the car and locked it and walked back inside heading to his bosses room, knocking he heard a slight 'come in' and proceeded to do so looking around for his boss not seeing anyone.

"I'm in the bathroom, sorry Renjun I couldn't get the zip up, can you help me?" Sua asked walking out of the bathroom, Renjun smiled in awe at how great his boss looked.

"Wow Miss Ahn, if I was straight I swear" Renjun whistled making Sua blush deeply and cover her face.

"Shut up and help me" Sua said turning around to show Renjun the back, Renjun took a few steps forwards grabbing ahold of the zip and slowly zipping it up, Renjun took a step back and watched as his boss made a few adjustments.

"So, hows your boyfriend?" Renjun asked, Sua shrugged grabbing her silver glittery pouch of her vanity checking the insides, smiling she turned to Renjun smiling.

"He'll meet us there" Sua smiled grabbing the case that had the mask in it and slipped it onto her face looking in the mirror, she was content with how she looked, she had changed her mask last minute now wearing a gold metallic mask that swirled around her face and dipped down one side of her face covering the left side of her cheek shielding her lips.

Renjun nodded pulling his out from his suit pocket, it was a plain mask that had two silk ribbons that connected at the back, tying it in a bow he looked at Sua who was taking hers off mumbling something about not being able to drive because she can't see properly.

...

The two were parked outside the large mansion, the lights that lit up the house was a vast contrast to the normal dull and inhabited look it gave off during the day time, it was quite creepy usually people would forget that a business mans son lives here and would instead think that it was haunted but looking at it now made Sua and Renjun look at it in a different light.

Sua sighed taking the golden envelope she had yet to find out who has been leaving her and took a step outside of the car, Renjun rushed around the side of the car helping his boss, Sua rolled her eyes sarcastically and straightened up and placed her mask on, her mask had two pins on the side that held it on her face, she made sure to tuck them under the clip in her head and behind her ear, her hair covering the parts.

The two made their way up the giant staircase and Sua thought it reminded her of a library she's been too in America, walking up she saw how the giant doors were already open, she could already see her brother in a black suit, silver glitter covered his suit jacket, his hair parted and pushed back, Yoona was there too, wearing a silver glittery body con dress, a slight part leaving one leg exposed her black heels and mask complimented Doyoung's suit greatly and Sua smiled seeing the stunning couple, they also had the same mask on.

She smiled seeing the two who had spotted her waving her and Renjun over, not hesitating to walk over the two were stopped but a security guard they had no idea was standing at the door.

"Invitations please" the guard spoke making Sua raise an eyebrow from under the mask, quickly passing over the gold envelope to the man and taking Renjun's hand in her.

The man took a look at the two.

"Oh yes Ahn Sua and Huang Renjun, Mr Lee has been waiting for your arrival" The guard spoke and ushered the two inside, Sua pulled Renjun closer to her and Renjun followed not really liking the vibe the guard gave off.

The two entered and the guard passed them taking a turn and leaving the crowd Sua had just noticed, Doyoung and Yoona smiled.

"Did I miss anything?" Sua asked looking at her brother, Renjun looked around in awe, the giant chandelier sparkling he also noticed the two younger boys sitting on bottom stair looking bored.

"Nope this Taeyong fella sure knows how to build suspension, we've been here nearly 20 minutes and we haven't even seen a sign of him, nor have we seen anything other than this room" Doyoung explained and Sua raised an eyebrow nodding, Renjun took a look at the few extra people in the room who were all talking between themselves, the mans they were wearing were quite confidential but as an assistant for a self proclaimed psychologist he's found a way to distinguish people by how they hold themselves.

Seo Johnny, long legged and taller than anyone around wore a black dress shirt, black jeans and a blazer that was a velvety material it was a dark emerald green, the whole outfit looked quite relaxed but still elegant, his black mask covered his eyes and fell down just past his nose.

Beside him Jung Jaehyun stood tall but not as tall next the man, his hands inside his pocket, his shoulder squared out like he was ready for anything, he wore a normal but expensive looking black suit, three buttons undone at the top, his mask covered one side of his face and he was the easiest to distinguish.

At the stair case Renjun nudged Sua gaining her attention to focus on the three beside the staircase, Mark stood at the side leaning against the stair case rail, he wore a black shirt and black slacks, his suit jacket was a white that matched his white mask, Sua was kind of disappointed they didn't think to match like her brother and his date.

Jeno sat on the staircase his arms on his thighs looking at the floor as his hands here playing with something, he wore a maroon suit that had hints of black, his belt, his suit jacket and his shoes, the mask he wore was in his hands and Renjun didn't realise he took it off until they made eye contact making Renjun divert his eyes to the boy beside him, his suit was exactly like Jeno's but the colours were the opposite, he wore a black shirt with maroon accents and the mask on his face was maroon.

The rest of the people in the room had the pair stumped though, not knowing who they were, Sua was thinking about striking up a conversation when the sound of a door opening made Sua freeze and look directly at the sound just like everyone else.

At the top of the stair case stood a man with wide shoulders, his hair as black as Jeno's, his eyes were big and he radiated business energy, the whole room could feel it knowing exactly what it was like.

He wore a shimmery black dress shirt that was only tucked in at the front, the few buttons that were undid revealed various gold chains that looked expensive and real dainty all at once, the black pants he wore were tight and clung to his muscular legs, his sleeves were rolled up a couple times displaying the gold watch and rings he had on, the masks he had on was mainly black, but gold wires seem to intertwine into the black metallic material making Sua touch her mask mindlessly, the male looked like a hot mess, serious yet so sultry, his dark gaze displayed nothing but business but his collarbones reflected something else, Mark rolled his eyes he knew his brother knew he was hot shit but isn't this a tad bit dramatic?

"Welcome to the Lee Manor, Thank you all for your attendance please follow Kun to the dining hall while I prepare a few things"
