After the fight Yoongi had with Jimin last night, Jimin had constantly been trying to approach Yoongi, but he had always made sure he was surrounded by other people.

He didn't want Jimin to come with bullshit excuses anymore.

Of course, there were times when Yoongi found himself alone, and Jimin would pop up as if he was waiting for Yoongi the entire time.

Such thing happened when Yoongi was returning back to the Alphas room after dinner, and there were no people in the hallways.

Just as he was passing a door, he was suddenly yanked to the side and shoved into a dark room. Stumbling, Yoongi steadied himself against the wall, his heart beating frantically.

What the heck?

The light switched on and Yoongi found himself face to face with Jimin.

"What the hell Jimin!" Yoongi yelled, thoroughly spooked from being pulled into a dark room. Jimin looked apologetic as he twisted his fingers and worried his lips.

"I need to talk to you about-," Yoongi raised his hand to interrupt Jimin, not giving him time to answer.

"What could you possibly say?" Jimin opens his mouth, probably to continue to say what he was gonna say, but Yoongi moved past him towards the door.

"Yoongi! Please just listen to me!" Jimin cried, his hands clutching onto Yoongi's arm as he tried to slow Yoongi down.

Yoongi was about to stop, about to listen what Jimin was going to say, because the pleading look on Jimin's face made his heart twinge.

Then the door opened.

Yoongi whirled around to see Kai and some girl stumbling through the doorway, giggling about something. They stopped when they saw Yoongi and Jimin together, before their eyes zeroed on Jimin's hands on Yoongi's arm.

The introduction of Kai and the girl caused Yoongi to realize what was going to happen.

Why can't Jimin leave him alone? Part of Yoongi just wanted to yell at Jimin for him to send him home, to lengthen the distance between them.

Another part of him wanted to pull Jimin close to him and wonder where he had gone wrong.

God, his mind was a mess.

He shook Jimin hand off of his arm and left the room quickly, muttering a quick 'hi' to Kai and the girl. Kai gave him a confused look, but decided not to intrude on the matter. He and the girl left after Yoongi did, but not before quickly bowing towards Jimin.

They left Jimin alone in the room, with only his tears to keep him company.

The days flew past and before they knew it, the ball arrived.

The past few days had been crazily busy, maids and servants rushing around and setting up decorations, tens of famous chefs planning their menu, and hundreds of invitations sent out to their families and other important people as well.

And Yoongi? Well Jimin's didn't try to talk to Yoongi again, but he always spotted the omega for some reason. Close enough to see him, but far away enough that it wasn't that noticeable.

Minjae has become even more insufferable, knocking things such as cups and bowls of soup into Yoongi's lap when no one was looking.

Mocking him and making his already hurt heart throb.

Talking about Jimin and all the "intimate" things they've done.

Yoongi nearly punched Minjae in the face. But it probably wouldn't have ended as well as it did with Chulmoo.

That night, all of them got dressed in the same room, seamstresses putting on and fixing their clothes to make them look presentable. They each wore extravagant clothes, expensive suits and shoes, with their hairs styled and face fixed with any blemishes.

"Wow we look like princes!" Dae gushed, staring at himself in the mirror in awe. It was true. This was one of the few times they could really dress up, due to the fact that this was no normal ball.

"Who do you think will get eliminated tonight?" Minjae says to no one, checking himself in the mirror. He grins smugly at Yoongi. "I hope you disappear."

Yoongi frowns at the weird word choice. Wasn't Minjae supposed to hope that Yoongi will get eliminated. Yoongi just chalked it up to Minjae's big ego.

They were ushered out of the room and lead to the doorway that led to the grand stairway of the ball.

"When you enter, you will be expected to bow to the royal family." A woman announced. "After that, you are free to find your family and roam around on your own. At some point the Queen will come and have a chat with your family, so be ready for that." She looked at them all carefully. "Any questions?" When there were none, she nodded at the guards, who pulled open the heavy oak doors that lead to the stairwell.

The first thing Yoongi noticed was the lights.

They were beautiful, twinkling and casting diamond shaped light onto the floors.

The second thing Yoongi noticed was the windows. They weren't smoothly panelled, but had pieces of glass jutting out to form crystal like shapes. They were very much like the chandeliers dangling from the ceiling. It was strange, considering every other window in the palace was smooth.

There were already people milling around, laughing and talking amongst each other.

The royal family were watching from the balcony, watching them move around. Yoongi could feel Jimin's eyes boring into his back and shivered.

There were refreshments and food stacked alongside one wall, out of the way of people walking by hurriedly. The table that would later be filled with the main meals were empty, due to the fact that leaving them out in the open would make them stale.

A hand snakes across Yoongi's shoulders, and turning his head, he was met with Jungkook. He pointed towards the crowds of families that had begun to stream in files through the entrance door.

"Lets go see Eomma and Appa, yeah?"
