-Are you going to come out already or you are planning to spend the night there in the bathroom?! - YunRea was yelling at the door. She was all dressed up for the party. Wearing a black dress with white adds on sleeves and black & white high heels. Her hair was curly with an attached silky white magnolia flower on the side giving her a glamorous look.
On the other hand, I was stuck in the bathroom in front of the mirror feeling extremely nervous. The Purple-blue dress on my body fitted perfectly but I was so insecure in my own appearance. My eyes looked again in the mirror reflection. The dress was actually very beautiful, a combination of silk and lace, simple but perfect. In the same color as the dress, I had shoes and a small purse. My straight hair, reaching half of my back, little rose lipstick and that was it!
I took a deep breath and finally get out. YunReas eyes widened.
- HyeMin you are so beautiful!- I smiled shyly
-Thank you! I really like this dress- and I hugged her- Thank you so much!! She took my hand
-Let's go, you already said "thank you" a million times!
While we were driving I sat still on my seat but inside of my mind war was going on!
When I woke up this morning, on my night table was a big box. Inside was this beautiful dress, purse, and shoes. YunRea was so thoughtful- was the first thing I thought about and I rushed into her room waking her up with a hug. She looked at me with her sleepy eyes all confused
- Thank you so much for the dress I was really surprised when I saw the box.
- What dress?
-That blue one I was trying yesterday.- She smiled
- Ah yes courier delivered her to me when I was going to my piano class but I left it in the car and only remembered last night but you were already sleeping.
- This was the best surprise in my life! - She just gave me a side look and smirked.
We arrived at the party and I held YunReas hand trying to hide my insecurity. She smiled at me for encouragement. Inside was a lot of people, mostly businessmen with their wives and many foreigners.
At the beginning was an auction for charity so we stayed at the back. I was looking around and saw James coming our way. I smiled
- You look so different- he said looking at me with awe
- Promise me one dance right away because I'm sure you will be so busy later.- I shook my head lowering my eyes
- That is not true but still thank you I would love to dance.- Then he turned to YunRea
- Your friend is so modest that is very rare this day.- She hugged me
- Yes she is a rare gem and my best friend!
Then we saw her father calling her, he wanted to introduce his daughter to his business partners. James went to bring us something to drink and I was standing there alone. Suddenly someone stood in front of me and I looked up
- Jun !- I was surprised to see him there. He was wearing a black suit and his hair was black again. This time he wasn't wearing blue contacts and I had to admit that his black eyes look very attractive. He eyed me with interest
- Beautiful!
My eyes widened in surprise. I never expected him to say that
- Thank you...- I said quietly and he smiled
- Would you like to dance?
- I'm sorry but I already promised to dance with James.- He just nodded and the next second he was gone. I was still looking in the crowd searching for him when James came back bringing two glasses of champagne. I took one and drank it all in one sip. The boy just looked at me with an open mouth
- You better drink that slow....- Smile was on my face
- Don't worry I can take one drink I'm not a child!- He got a worried look but just nodded and offered me his hand
- Shall we dance?- I put my hand in his and he led me to the dance floor.
It was like floating in the clouds, dancing with this boy. That night was like a dream come true! This was all new to me. Old HyeMin sank in the bottom of the sea near my house, but this new HyeMin was born that night.
James was a decent dancer and he was smiling all the time. I felt good being with him like I knew him all my life. He was a funny and interesting guy and at one moment I wished I have a boyfriend like him. That thought surprised me. Maybe that champagne started to mess with my head. I laughed and he laughed with me not knowing my thoughts.
When the dance was over he led me back to the place where we were standing before. YunRea was there surrounded by six more guys. I recognize only Jin. We greeted each other and she turned around to introduce me to the others. Dan, the guy with an angelic face and bright smile, Henry, attractive and charismatic, John beautiful guy with a soft look in his eyes, Charlie cute and playful, and Bobby whose look went through me leaving me confused.
- They are Jun's friends but we see each other very often- YunRea explained- I nodded and opened my mouth to ask where is Jun when I felt someone standing behind me. I looked up and met two black eyes. He took my hand and led me to the dance floor.
- You promised me a dance- was all that he said before he spoons me. I followed his moves, they were so smooth. He was an excellent dancer! My left hand was on his shoulder and my right in his hand.
Being so tall, wearing that perfectly fitted suit and the look in his eyes... I felt breathless looking at them. It was a strange feeling being this close to him. He looked at me from above and smiled.
- Don't be nervous just try to relax and enjoy this party. You have nothing to worry about you look beautiful...
I nodded still surprised seeing him so nice with a smile on his face. We were in the middle of a dance floor and one of the couples pushed me so I hit on Jun's chest which made me blush. We kept dancing like nothing happened but my heart beat like crazy and I couldn't look in his eyes.
When the dance was over we returned to our friends but I was feeling so awkward and confused. He was talking to Jin and they laughed but when I met Jin look I figured they were talking about me. I blushed and excuse myself to the bathroom. Entered one of the cabins and lock the door. My hands were shaking and my heart still beat like crazy
- Calm down HyeMin what is wrong with you?!- I was scolding myself searching for a mirror in my little purse to fix my makeup. But those eyes in my reflection wasn't mine... I mean they were surely mine but the expression in them was totally unfamiliar to me. They were dark, wide-open, shiny...I bit my lower lip closing my eyes
- Why am I like this?
My thoughts were interrupted by some voices. Two girls entered talking loud, I suppose they were drunk.
- Did you saw all of them? I was hoping they will come. You know I have my eyes on Jun from the day I came there as a trainee- Other girl giggled- I know and Jin is going to be mine! But we must be careful, they can't figure out our plan.- Yeah! And if I succeed I'm going to call the paparazzi right away. Our pictures will be all over the news, then my name will not be unknown to the world.
- Second girl laughed- Shhhh !!! And if I succeed I will do the same this is our big chance! Ah, it's so hard staying in that company, especially for us trainees! Nothing is ever certain...
While they were talking, one of the girls drops her lipstick and he rolled close to my door. She picked up and I saw her hand with a golden star ring on her middle finger. After that, they went outside and I returned to my friends. At that time I didn't pay much attention to those girl's words, but later when I get back home and layed in my bed those words popped up again.
- Why those girls want to call paparazzi? Who are Jun and Jin? So many questions left unanswered. But one thing was clear Jun is really mysterious person.
