Two ethereally beautiful girls walked side by side inside the dimly lit banquet hall.

The taller of the two brunettes wore a laced white tube dress that hugged her figure perfectly, stopping just above her knee. Her makeup complimented her fair skin, completing her goddess looks. The other brunette wore a baby pink dress that molded perfectly with her curves, the hemline stopping above her knee. She was beautiful, as always, but tonight she shined brighter. Her smile complementing the light makeup she wore, almost natural.

The taller one fiddled with her dress while the other brunette walked with ease. Eyes turned towards the taller brunette, boys gawking at the beauty that was exposed before their eyes. She had always been beautiful despite the nerdy look she comfortably sported at a day by day basis.

But tonight, it was like another Lalisa Manoban had emerged, enchanting and captivating. A little shy, but beautiful nonetheless.

Behind them walked another beauty that none of the students know of. She was all smiles, and boys can’t help but stare at the lively girl. Her dress was similar to Jennie's, only it came in white. Her high heels made her taller than her sister who wore identical black Keds with Lisa. It was Jennie's idea though, saying that shoes are more comfortable than stilettos and Lisa couldn’t agree more. So here they were, pairing their dresses with their black Keds. Unexpectedly, the shoes went well with their dresses, giving off an elegant and comfy look.

They sat in a table where four beautiful girls waited for them. There were no guys on the table, contrary to their schoolmates who were already exchanging cheesy banters with their dates. Yeri had rolled her eyes, commenting how those girls have low standards for a date. The group laughed before a tall, pale guy approached their table. He wore a black suit jacket with white dress shirt inside, a silky vest and a black and white striped bowtie. A single white rose boutonniere was pinned inside his suit pocket while he held an identical corsage.

He smiled shyly at the group before speaking, “Hello, Lisa. You look beautiful tonight.”

Lisa smiled at the compliment before answering, “Hello, Ten. Mind joining us?” She pointed at an empty chair beside Yeri.

The boy shyly bowed at the rest of the girls before sitting down at the empty chair.

Jennie intertwined her fingers with Lisa's fingers instantly in a protective manner, palms pressed tightly against the other. Lisa chuckled as she pats Jennie's hand. Ten's eyes accidentally landed on the intertwined hands and a realization dawned on him.

“He-hello, Jennie,” he shyly smiled at the brunette. Jennie returned the smile and nodded.

Lisa didn’t need to introduce Baekhyun to the rest of the girls since they all go to the same school. Well, except for one.

“That corsage looks pretty,” she commented, nodding at Ten's hand that fiddled with the ribbon of the flower.

“Err,” Ten scratched the back of his head, disheveling his hair a little.

“By the way, this is Yeri, Jennie's sister.” Lisa pointed at the girl beside Ten.

Yeri stopped sipping from her juice as her eyes widened in surprise. Lisa's smirk telling her something was up. She was about to speak when the guy cut her off.

“Hi, I-I’m Ten,” he turned towards Yeri's direction, flashing the girl his million-dollar smile.

Time stopped ticking; Yeri's breathe hitching as Ten's black orbs caught hers in a hypnotizing gaze, her heart pounding like a demolition team had started working inside her chest. The boy is a charmer; that much Yeri could tell.
