Hurricane

"Here comes the sun, here comes the rain,
Standing in the eye of the hurricane"

Today was the day.

The first day of spring.

And the last day of the Azalea festival.

The theme for today was a 'masquerade ball', or in this case, masquerade park.

Everyone could wear their own designed masks or purchase one from the park gates up front.

The reason for the masquerade was to show people that even when the flowers aren't blooming, the beauty is kept inside of them until they are ready to open.

"Happy first day of spring" Kangjoon said after you reached a close enough distance.

"And to you the same! Let's get inside already" since you two had parted ways yesterday, you decided to meet each other outside the hotel.

Since it was the final day, you wore black pants that had roses sewn on it down the side and a red turtle neck to match the colour of the roses. The weather had said it wasn't going to rain and forecasted a warm, sunny spring day.

Kangjoon had also worn black pants but a blue shirt was worn instead, allowing a couple of buttons on the top to be opened and reveal his toned chest.

"Excited I see" he teased while opening the door for you. You expressed your thanks before entering the car and waited for the other to enter from the other side.

"I've always seen the Azalea flower open on screen but never in person" shocked at the new found fact, your mouth fell open and your eyes analysed his face to see if he was joking or not.

"What?! Really?! Not even when you were little?"

"No, my father didn't find a flower opening interesting" strapping himself in, the car began its journey to the park.

"Woah... this is like my 10th time seeing it" you stated after counting how many times you had attended the festival.

"10? Surely if you've seen it that many times, it wouldn't be as exciting as the first time" the dark haired male asked inquisitively, confused at your excitement for the flower.

"Its not just seeing a flower open, it's seeing everyone come together and start their first day of spring with everyone... and also there are special guests coming" you wiggled your eyebrows knowingly at the president who simply laughed at your actions.

"Mire special than the president of the hero council?" Widening eyes at your mistake, you waved your hands frantically while shaking your head no.

"No! Of course not! I was just saying- people coming to host-"

"I know, I'm just teasing you" he interjected while ruffling your hair up. Embarrassed, you tried time fix your disheveled hair while avoiding eye contact.

Looking outside your window, you saw people heading towards the park while wearing masks, reminding you about the mask that was given to you in your hotel room.

"Oh, Kangjo-"

"Since it's the masquerade ball, I have bought a specially made mask for you, Mr Seo" the driver interrupted you before pressing a button that made a compartment near Kangjoon's legs open, revealing a beautiful intricate blue mask.

"Ah, I see. Thank you for going out of your way like this" confused, you tried to make sense of the situation since you thought the president would also get himself a mask while getting yours. Maybe he forgot?

Before you could dwell on it any longer, the car had slowed down to a stop down the road of the park's entrance.

"I'm afraid I can't drop you any closer since everyone's trying to park their car" the driver apologised.

"It's alright, wouldn't want to stress you out by trying to find an available parking space. We'll head off here" agreeing with him, you stepped out of the car before thanking the driver for driving you and quickly went over to Kangjoon.

"When does the flower open?" He asked after looking around at the masked people.

"Around 12 when the sun is the highest" you stated before you two started making your way over.

"So what do we do for 2 hours?"

"Well, they took down the rides yesterday night so that more people can fit in to the park so that's one option out. We could just meet up with everyone and maybe eat before the event?" You suggested. Kangjoon didn't think it was a bad idea since he had yet to know more about your friends who were heroes.

"Sure, sounds great" smiling at his response, you were about to ask what did he feel like eating today until a familiar female voice called out your name.

"Y/N!" Turning to your right, you saw a girl around your age wearing cute pink dress that went up to her knees along with a white denim jacket to match her shoes. She was also wearing a white feathered mask that covered the top half of her face.

"...Myunghee? Is that really you?" You said after she finally reached you. You noticed that her shoulder length hair was out of it's usually pony tail which was a rare sight for many.

"Of course it's me! Who else would call out your name"

"You'd be surprised..." you muttered quietly enough for her to not hear.

"Don't run off like that!" Behind Myunghee came another dark haired figure who was wearing all black clothing but what stood out was his bright grey mask that looked like it was made out of metal and clock parts.

"...Yoongi?" As he got closer, you could recognise his eyes through the gaps as they had unique specks of white flowing through the dark brown irises.

"Sorry Yoongi-bear~ I was just excited to see Y/N" your eyes flickered at the two, wondering what had happened throughout the week and needing to have a private chat with the Eros trainer.

"What have I said about calling me that?" He rolled his eyes at the younger woman who only chuckled at his question.

"Why don't you have your mask on? It's the masquerade today" Myunghee questioned, not noticing Kangjoon standing beside you.

"Oh, you're right. Don't forget to where yours" you reminded the president who clicked his fingers in realisation before putting on his blue mask.

Myunghee finally laid her eyes on the male before remembering about the time when Namjoon had asked who he was.

"Y/N, emergency girl talk"

"Emergency gir- Woah!" You exclaimed before getting dragged off. You looked behind you to see Kangjoon and Yoongi staring at the both of in confusion while you got taken away.

"Women, eh?" The future sighter didn't know how to respond but knew this was a crucial moment for him to seem normal without your help.

"Females they are indeed" looking at him strangely, the mind controller started to follow you two while leaving the president behind.

"... Damn it"
