TAEHYUNG's POV

The ball is tonight and I was more than excited to see her in the dress I picked out. I had a feeling that the color red fits her well. I could already imagine her walking around in the gorgeous dress. I hope she likes it. Sitting back on the couch, I see my brothers walk back and forth as they kept going on and off on how their wives don't wish to show up to the ball.

"I don't understand, Namjoon. I made sure she got a beautiful dress, she's the one who chose it and now she doesn't want to show up." Jin says utterly confused.
"You're telling me? I bought her a 25,000 dollar dress and she said she's too lazy to join." Namjoon says in disbelief.

They both look at me and groan loudly. I stare at them confused and awkwardly.

"What did I do?"
"How do we convince them on going?" Namjoon sighs.
"Two married men are asking the single guy for advice. Now that's low even for you two." I say.

Jin was about to throw himself on me to choke me but Namjoon holds him back. I stand up and chuckle.

"Help us, Tae. We've done nothing but help you with the king girl!" Jin shouts.

I freeze and look over my shoulder at him.

"Just ask her once more. If she says no then oh well dude. You'll be assisting the ball alone."

I walk off and sigh. Those two are really hopeless at this point. Their wives are nice and all but they can be quite lazy. I mean I don't mind, I get along with both of their wives. They treat me like I'm their younger brother. They are kind, pretty women I must say. As I walk off into the kitchen, I put my hands on the counter and sigh again. Now I was worried that, she wouldn't show up. I must admit I think that me thinking about the issues my brothers were going through with their wives, was just getting to my head, she was going to show up. I'm sure of it, why wouldn't she?

I took my leave from the penthouse and down into the lobby. My father was down at the lobby making sure everyone was preparing everything perfectly. I wanted to make sure everything was fine too. Cause this wasn't just any ball that my father organizes every year, this time it was different. I smirk and make my way out of the elevator.

"Miss King, you will be mine." I whisper with a smirk upon my face.

AREUM's POV

We were all getting ready cause time seemed to pass by rather quickly and that wasn't really to my liking for today. The ball would begin in an hour or so and my father wanted to be there a little early. I had only put on my dress and I just stared down at my shoes. I had an odd feeling about this ball, I just couldn't put my finger on it. My parents were already leading my siblings into the car and I was still sitting on my bed with no shoes on.

This is all for dad..

I kept repeating that to myself and slipped my shoes on. Heading down the stairs, I see my father at the front door smiling up at me.

"You look beautiful, my sweet girl."

He extends his arms and I rush into his embrace. He placed a kiss on my head and pulls away with a smile on his face.

"You'll be the most beautiful of them all."

I laughed and he just kept a smile on his face as he leads me to the car. Looking back at my house, I sigh cause I knew I couldn't back out now.

Father drove us to the hotel, it was filled with gorgeous lights all around and the decor was just so magical. There was a few celebrities and what looked like very important people, by the way they were dressed. They also looked very intimidating to say the least. My father asked everyone to get out of the car and to wait for him by the entrance. We all nodded and got out of the car. I helped Eden out and my mother took care of Kristian. Eden held my hand while he looked around to see all the lights and people. He tugs on my dress a bit and I look down at him.

"Yes, baba?
"Areum, why is there so many people?"
"Well this is a big event for the owner and I think he invited all his friends."
"Are we his friends?"

I only nodded at him. He smiled brightly and kept looking at all the lights. I crouch down to his level and fix his bow tie. Eden suddenly wraps his arms around my neck and hugs me tightly.

"You're the best lil mommy I could ever have."

I smile warmly and hug him just as tight. What he said made me feel so much better about this whole event. A few minutes later, my father had finally came after parking the car and he lead us towards the entrance. The guards around the entrance seemed to recognize him rather quickly. Mr. Kim must really like my father. The guards opened the door for us and my eyes widen at how beautiful everything inside looked. It looked like it was taken out of a fairytale. Eden pulled me along with him and my parents give me a slight nod. I was going to spend my night with Eden and nobody was going to tell me otherwise. A smile grew upon my face while Eden pulled me along to places he found interesting or just wanted to take a look.

"Look Areum!"

I look over to what he's talking about and someone bumps into me. I slipped and was about fall forward when I was caught. Eden's eyes widen as he looked up at someone. I still had Eden's hand in mine and I hear a low chuckle.

"You were about to fall and you never let go of his hand."
