Chapter 20: Farewell Ball

***

December, 8, 1900

Author's POV

It was the day, of the Ball. A lot of royalties are here, since they are going to leave, the day after tomorrow. Everybody was still waiting for the other royals to arrive.

While, the others are still busy getting ready for either the ball itself or something big. Every single royal is required to attend and that also means, Ryujin and Yeji should attend as well.

Although, the two of them hate the idea of it. They still didn't have a choice. Since, they were both forced to come, by some untreatable people. People like Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Kai.

Both Yeji and Ryujin, are plotting on how to at least get back at them or maybe kill them. But, then again, all of them were suffering from it, since all of them are here. Including Taehyun and Chaeryeong since they were forced to be here, by Ryujin.

Speaking, of Ryujin, she was visibly looking for somebody, in the ball. Ryujin was also obviously worried, for something or maybe someone. Ryujin, kept on glancing on the entrance where, it was super crowded. Due to all the royalties who are keeps on coming in the place.

Ryujin was still busy looking around the place, while somebody quickly approached her place, and decided to scare her. "Who are you looking for Ryujin?" Beomgyu asked, behind Ryujin making her jump.

"Huh? What do you mean looking? I wasn't looking for somebody." Ryujin said, denying it.

"Oh come on. It's so obvious. So, who is it?" Beomgyu asked, getting much more curious, while smiling.

Ryujin hesitated for a while, but gave up. "Fine. You win. I'm looking for my little sister. Since, this is a farewell ball and they're going back to Roselia. That means this is my last time seeing her." Ryujin said, and smiled bitterly.

Beomgyu's smile, dropped since he knows the feeling that Ryujin currently has. "I know what you're feeling right now. Ryu." Beomgyu said, and comforted Ryujin.

"But, there's something that I can't take off my chest..." Ryujin said. Which made Beomgyu confuse.

"What do you mean?" Beomgyu asked Ryujin.

"Well. Ever since we were kids, whenever Yuna is in danger, I always have a feeling and it was and never has been wrong. All my life and right now. I'm feeling it once again." Ryujin said, and looked at Beomgyu.

Beomgyu, looked around, to see if he can spot Yuna. Which, he did. She was with Kai, laughing and eating desserts on their respective tables. Beomgyu looked over at to Ryujin just to see her still looking around the place.

Beomgyu, tapped Ryujin's shoulder. "Hey. Relax. She's in good hands. She's with my brother." Beomgyu said, making Ryujin a bit calmer. But, then Ryujin somehow made a confused look.

"Wait. Which, brother?" Ryujin asked and tilted her head to the side.

'Argh. Why are you so cute?' Beomgyu thought, and took Ryujin's hand and took her to the center of the ballroom.

"Yah! Why did you do that?!" Ryujin asked Beomgyu.

"Why can't I?" Beomgyu asked Ryujin, teasingly.

"I mean you could've just asked me, and I would've said 'yes' right away." Ryujin said, muttering underneath her breathe. But, it was still audible for Beomgyu, also surprising Beomgyu.
