Chapter 8 (1/1)
NOW SWITCHING TO POV’S.
-----------------------------------------------------------
JINYOUNG’S POV
--------------------------------
I watched as the scenery rushed by the opened hummer limo window. The girls on the streets stared openly at our wealth and, if I do say so myself, good looks. B1A4 rules, simple as that.“Jinyoung.” CNU held up a glass towards me. I gladly took the champagne and took a sip. Ahh.“Are you guys ready? I’m excited to see how the interior design turned out since BARO HYUNG wouldn’t let anyone see it!!” Gongchan sent a mock glare at his hyung. Baro only shrugged and smiled mysteriously, as always. We walked into the dance a little earlier than the stated time since we were the hosts. The place looked amazing; Baro had done a great job. The walls were painted like a forest. Up high, a bird flew across the sky. The deer peeked from behind an oak tree. Across the ceiling, little twinkling lights had been placed to look like the night sky. The floors were covered with glass, with more designs underneath it. A lake was in one corner while a bridge was painted that spanned the entire dance floor. Along one wall, a row of tables, decked by flowers, chocolate, and snacks, had been placed along with chairs. There was a red carpet leading into the ballroom and a photo corner where professional pictures would be taken for free.“Nice job Baro!” I looked around, satisfied. This was the best design yet. Last year, under Gongchan’s control, the ballroom had been designed to look like an extravagant playground and had looked a little weird, but this year, it was amazing.“Seriously hyung! This is so much cooler than my playground!” Gongchan ran around, observing all the little details.“Oh. The food’s here.” Sandeul noted as the caterers started to one in with trays and trays of chicken, calamari, and steak.“FOOD!!!” CNU ran to see what kind. He seems to always be hungry these days…It’s odd.“Let’s get this party started.” I said as the DJ started to play his music.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::GONGCHAN’S POV
----------------------------------------------------“Hey Baro hyung.” I called as I followed him to check the kitchen area.“What?” He answered without turning back.“What’s up with you and my noona?” He paused, but then continued.“Nothing. We’re just friends.”“Are you sure?”“Yes.”Okay…But if you ask me, it seems like there’s something there.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::SANDEUL’S POV
----------------------------------------------I scanned the crowd as people started to file into the ballroom. Despite the fact that the party was exclusive, there were still a ton of guests. Most of the guys were all dressed, as you can probably guess, as Prince Charming with masks. The girls had more variety and came in dresses of all colors and length. The only people that stood out were the two…guys? girls? that came as a set of dragons. That, or Baro hired them for entertainment.The party had started over an hour ago, but I still haven’t budged from my spot. Many girls came up to me to ask for a dance, but I just didn’t feel like it. It was parties like this that made my heart hurt. I still couldn’t forget my memories of her, of Kyoo. I missed her like crazy and I wish she knew. But she had left me, she had chosen to go and leave me behind.I was too busy reminiscing to notice four girls walk into the party. They separated as two went to get drinks and the other two went to put away their coats. One of them walked past me, snapping me back to reality. She was…beautiful. Even with the mask on. There was something about her. The way she walked, the way her hair swished, the way she tilted her head back to laugh at her friend’s joke. The way she charmed me without even looking at me. I wanted her.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::CNU’S POV
-----------------------------------“Okay. The next few are ladies’ choices.” The DJ announced into his mic. All the girls started looking around for a potential dance partner. I leaned back to watch as two girls both picked the same guy. They were having a staring contest when another girl swooped in and dragged the guy away.“May I have this dance?” A soft voice asked me. I looked away from the two girls staring in shock after their stolen date to find a soft pair of eyes looking at me through her mask. She smiled, and I was gone.“Sure.” I got up and took her hand, leading her to the dance floor as “Sign” started to play. We imitated Brown Eyed Girls, pretending we had fans.………Do you know how I feel and I've confessed countless times
………And the love sign I gave you. Did you get my sign? Sign?
………I need you to get back up. Without you I have worry syndrome.
………Don't neglect me, I want you by my side, sideI’ve known this girl for…not even 5 minutes, but…There’s something about her. She doesn’t seem to worry about other people’s opinion. The girls are usually conservative or slutty. Some feign modesty and humility in case they happened to dance with one of us. Others practically rubbed their body against you the second you agree to dance with them hoping that they found us and we wanted them…you know, in THAT way. But this girl…She was just dancing, no hidden motives. That made me like her just that much more. Somehow, I can see the lyrics relating to me. I don’t dare call it love, but there’s definitely interest. Will she understand? I can’t even quite understand it, but…I want her by my side (side).::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::BARO’S POV
--------------------------------------“Oh my goodness. That’s like the millionth person who’s asked me that.” I muttered to myself as Gongchan left me to finish last-minute checks before the party. Seriously. Why does everyone assume that there’s something going on between me and Rai noona? We’re just friends!! GAHH!!
I finished up and went back into the party. Most of the guests had arrived. I saw CNU hyung dancing with a girl in one corner. Sandeul was sitting around, stalking a girl with his eyes. Jinyoung hyung was nowhere in sight and neither was Gongchan.“Do you want to dance?” A girl approached me. Her dress was like Cinderella’s, but Cinderella probably worn it when she was 5, it was really that small. I grimaced and shook my head.“Sorry. I already have a date.” I lied and walked away. Looking at all the happy couples on the dance floor made me feel just a bit jealous. Would I ever have that kind of a chance at love?
