➣Masquerade

"Wait what?" I asked shocked by his response.

"I came back for you. I couldn't wait until tomorrow. I wanted to see you even if Jennie is here." he states as I walk over to the mirror.

"Are you sure you came back for me? You could be lying and wanted to see Jennie instead." I giggled a bit and he walks towards me.

The look in his eyes look scary. He grabbed me forcefully by my waist and caressed my cheek. My back was against the mirror, making me uncomfortable. I tried moving, but he slammed my back on the mirror. I'm pretty scared right now because his eyes are projecting death towards me. Every nerve in my body went numb and I was scared to move again. He started to calm down slowly, but that look in his eyes never left.

"DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT I WENT THROUGH WITH HER!? A PROSTITUTE RAPED ME, ANNA! OF COURSE YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE BECAUSE IT'S NEVER HAPPENED TO YOU!" he yells at me and a tear escaped my eye.

"WELL I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY THAT SHE RAPED YOU, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL AT ME! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I pushed him on the floor, running out of the room and out the house.

I couldn't take it anymore. He's never yelled at me. And I thought he was the same Daesung when we were kids. He's different than before. The sun was setting and I was walking to the park. A thought popped into my head and I turned around, walking a different way. I was on my way to The X club because I need a drink. Yes, I drink sometimes. I pushed the door open and the smell of alcohol burned my nostrils. Teenagers were vaping, making out, having sex, drinking, and just chilling. This was like a safe haven for teens. I marched towards the bar and asked for the usual. Something in the corner of the bar caught my attention. A girl that went to my school was here, but talking to a guy twice her age. I have to admit that he was hot, but looks like bad news. His attire looked expensive. He leaned into her ear and they walked down the hallway and probably into a room. I was about to follow them until someone tapped on my shoulder. I turned around and it was Daesung.

"What the hell are you doing here!?" I yelled at his face.

"I could ask you the same thing. And why are you drinking!?" he asks as I look at him, frustrated.

"Just leave me alone." I push him away and follow where they went to.

The lights in the hallway were dim, creating a sexual vibe. The air smelled like smoke. I heard the girl's voice from a distance and walked towards the room. The door was wide open and I saw the man on top of her. Something was different. She  looked passed out and the man looked sexier than before. The man got up off of her and stopped looking at me. His eyes scanned me up and down. It almost felt like he was fucking me with his eyes. He licked his lip ring and started to walk closer. I stepped back and started to run back to Daesung. The man appeared in front of me and I stopped. He smirked at me and caressed my face.

"Get off of me!" I slapped his hand away and started to walk off, but he grabbed my wrist.

A strange feelings went through me when he touched me. I yanked
my hand away and ran off. I bumped into Daesung on the way back and he was helping me calm down. I immediately hugged him, never letting go.

"Calm down. I think you need to go home. You're shaking." he simply says as I nod my head.

He walks me out the back door and to the car. I get into the passenger seat and fasten my seatbelt. He does the same and drives us home. The car ride was silent until he spoke up.

"Did you want to explain to me why you were shaking?" he asks as I look to the window.

"You would think I'm crazy if I told you. Plus it wouldn't matter to you." I simply say as he lets out a sigh.

He parks the car alongside the sidewalk and I get out. Halfway towards the house, Daesung says something that scared me even more.

"Kim Taehyung is who you met. He was going to kill you, Annaliese. Don't let him touch you again. He's not going to stop until he has you to himself." he says softly as I run inside the house up to my room.

I locked my door and slide down it. That man was going to kill me!? No, he couldn't. He wouldn't get away with murder in a bar. And what does he mean by he's not going to stop until he has me!? I'm so shocked right now. It's impossible for someone you met once to track you from 20 miles. Even without the government! I quickly climb into my bed and reach for my phone. I dial Somin's number and put the phone up to my ear. She didn't answer after the hundredth time and I gave up. I'll tell her at the party. I close my eyes, hoping I could fall asleep.

The day of the masquerade arrived and Somin came over to help me with my dress. Daesung asked me to be his date and I said yes. I thought that I owed him one considering that he saved me from being murdered last night. Somin tied my dress in the back and I sat down on the edge of my bed to put my shoes on. I heard a knock on the door and I went to answer it. There stood Daesung in a handsome tux. God I have to admit that he was very hot. Daesung left Jennie at the house purposely so he wouldn't have to deal with her. We arrived at the exquisite mansion where the gala is being held. This place was huge. Almost reminds me of Cinderella. There was gold everywhere you looked. Daesung held his arm out and I wrapped my arm around his. The steps were made of gold smoothed down to be shiny as hell. Huge doors opened before my eyes. We walked in and the first thing that caught my eye was him. His stare made me feel insecure. Those beautiful eyes never left mine. Daesung left to go get drinks and I made my way over to him.

"A tux suits you better than regular clothes, Taemin." I say as he chuckled, giving me that intoxicating smile.

"And this suits you better than casual apparel. I must say that you look ravishing right now." he whispers the last sentence in my ear, causing my cheeks to turn one hundred shades of red.

Taemin and I were talking like normal people until someone walked through the large doors that stole all the air out of my lungs. The man from the club. Daesung said his name was Taehyung. I think it's better if I stay with Taemin. Plus, I don't see Daesung anywhere. I saw Daesung kissing Jennie and my heart shattered. He only said those bad things about her to play with my feelings. Taemin noticed the sadness on my face and he took me upstairs. We entered a medium sized room with a queen bed. I jumped on the bed and pulled the covers over my head. Even though Taemin was here, my tears just came out of my eyes. I felt the bed sink and a warm hug. Taemin was hugging me. I haven't felt this kind of comfort in awhile. I sat myself up and looked at him.

"Why do you pity me?" I ask him, wiping the excess tears away.

"I know what it's like to feel betrayed. Come on. Let's go back to the party." he grabs my hand and I smile, making our way out the room.

On the way down to the party, a man bumps into me, spilling champagne all over his suit. I apologized to the man and immediately regretted my words. It was Taehyung. Of course he would do this considering that he probably wants to kill me. I hold onto Taemin's arm tightly and return to the party. For the whole night, I stayed with him. It was something about him that made me feel safe in his presence. I left Taemin one time and that was the worst thing that could've happened tonight. I was on my way to use the bathroom until someone grabbed me and shoved me outside. I looked at my surroundings and I freaked out. A garden maze surrounded me and I got scared. I stayed put because I couldn't risk getting lost especially at night. The bushes behind me made a noise which got me to my feet. I backed up slowly and hit something hard. Two arms wrapped around my waist and held me tight. I could feel the figure's hot breath on my neck. They planted a kiss on my collarbone and whispered in my ear.

"Nice to meet you again, Annaliese. I'm Taehyung and I'm infatuated with you."
