Chapter 9

When I turned around I saw all the girls looking at me with shocked expressions. They had seen the whole thing and were wondering how the fuck I could slam a door in one of the princes handsome faces. I swallowed hard and avoided all their eyes as I walked towards the end of the room where "my" bed was placed.

In front of it, another dress was laying and when I glanced at the other girls for some seconds I saw that they all were wearing new dresses. Luckily they had began chatting again and when I  changed clothes I couldn't help but to eavesdrop.

"Tell me then!" One girl impatient exclaimed to her friends in a group of five people.

"Okay, okay! Hoseok said I was pretty..." Another girl in the group said which made them all giggle.

"But you know what? Jungkook kissed me... On the lips!" Another said which made the whole group open their mouths wide in shock.

"Yoongi and Taehyung made out with me, sooo..." Another one joined. The five girls gasped and immediately began asking questions like 'how did it feel?', 'were they good?', 'who is the most handsome?' and therefore I stopped listening because that was not something I wanted to know more about.

I sat down on the soft bed and brushed my hair with my fingers, pretending that it was my mother's, as I let the thoughts wander around in my mind. No one of them kissed me? Isn't that great! What if they would have done it? No I'd never let them do that. 

"You need help? I know a hairstyle that would look so pretty on you." I recognized her lovely voice without even seeing her face.

"Okay. Thank you, Choi." I shrugged and let her fix it. "How did it go for you?"

"I did my best, but it was hard to continue the conversation. They seemed very bored." She answered, which made me frown because I didn't agree. I guess they probably act different around different girls.

"I don't get it." I said. "Why do they make it so obvious?"

"What?"

"Why do they kiss those girls, touch them and call them pretty? Of course they will pick one of them. It's more fun if there's some excitement, isn't it?"

"Hahah, yeah maybe." Choi chuckled. "Would you like me to do your makeup too?"

"Yeah, sure! Just not too much, please."

While she was doing it, I sometimes thought about my family and as soon as I did, my eyes began to tear up because I was frightened that I wouldn't get to meet them after today, even though I knew I would. It was hard to ignore the thought although that was the only thing I could do to feel better. Otherwise the anxiety would hit me too hard and I wouldn't be able to handle that in the moment. 

To my relief the time passed by quicker than I expected and it was already time to leave when Choi was done with my makeup. Six guards had appeared in front of the door, ready to escort the 11 girls to the dining hall. Their uniforms were even fancier than before and our dresses were also even fancier. Before we left I glanced at myself in the mirror to take a final look at my face and body.

Choi had fixed my hair so that it looked fluffy and fresh and the natural makeup made me look alert and bright. She had also put two thick, black barrettes with small silver pearls on each side of the parting of my hair and two strands of hair was pulled out. My body was covered by an off-shoulder dress. It was ink-black adorned with silver pearls in different sizes at the top that matched perfectly with the barrettes. My feet were hidden under the dress, wearing black ballerina shoes, which I was extremely grateful for. I smiled knowing that my parents would be speechless to see me like this even if the circumstances were terrible.
