...Flower of Evil...

Iseul looked at herself on the mirror. Tonight, she was looking stunning. Her hair was tied into a half pony tail with bangs covering her forehead. She looked at her dress and smiled in satisfaction.

She wore her heels and came downstairs to see her brothers, Mrs.Kim and Mr.Cheon waiting for her. Men were clad in business suits while Mrs.Kim wore a white long dress.

It was an engagement party they were going to attend. Iseul didn't know who is going to get engaged but she could say that it was a famous couple in the entertainment industry. The news was all over the news channels and people were so excited. A lot of well famous celebrities and businessmen were invited to the party. So,of course, her brothers and Mrs.Kim were no exception. Since they were invited, Iseul also had to go.

"Dan,are you sure you are fine with the dress? It's a party in a cruise ship. You'll catch a cold"

Iseul looked at her dress and just realised about it. Will it be really cold out there? "What should I do? I like this dress so much", she whined like she was about to cry.

"Bambi,catch", Iseul turned to Jungkook and widened her eyes seeing a black cloth. To be specific, it was a long jacket. She caught it perfectly. "Wear this if you feel cold"

It was his jacket. She didn't want to worry about him but she couldn't help but to ask. "What about you?"

Jungkook smiled. "I got few more coats"

"As expected from rich", she mumbled and put the coat over her arm. "I'm ready. Let's go?"

When they got out,a limo was outside waiting for them."Wow,royalty", she kept throwing sarcastic comments.

Mr.Cheon sighed. "Dan" ,he warned.

Iseul smiled sheepishly. And they departed.

Iseul was a bit excited since it was a cruise ship. After an hour,their limo stopped. Her brothers were the first to leave the limo. After watching Mr.Cheon and Mrs.Kim getting down the car,she also got down. She was shocked to see too many camera flashes. She almost went blind.

A red carpet was ahead of them and it leaded to a big cruise ship. The ocean was calm like dead. She widened her eyes seeing paparazzi reporters running towards them with so much screams.

Suddenly, she felt her hand being wrapped around another arm. When she looked at her side,it was Taehyung. "Hold on to me till we go inside", he whispered to her ear.

She subconsciously tightened her grip around his arm and scooted closer to him. It was her first time being exposed to so much cameras. She was not scared but she was a bit pressured. It has been years since she had this much of attention. And the flash lights were hurting her weak eyes. It was really hard to open her eyes and the annoying screams of people were too much.

She turned her head to a side a side to avoid the flash lights but her heart skipped a beat seeing something within the crowd of reporters. A woman in traditional clothing with a black cloak covering her face. The woman she saw at the school!

She blinked twice but the figure didn't fade away. Her muscles tensed and unconsciously tightened her grip on Taehyung's arm.

Taehyung looked at her and frowned. "What's wrong?"

Iseul looked at him and debated if she should tell him or not. What if they knew that person? What if it was them who were playing tricks on her?

She looked down. "Nothing. Too much flashes"

Suddenly,all the flashes infront of her was blocked. Iseul looked up to see Taehyung covering her with his coat so the flashes won't hurt her eyes. He removed Iseul's linked arm and wrapped his hand around Iseul's shoulders, bringing her closer to his chest. "I'll guide you. Don't worry", he whispered and lead her towards the ship.

Iseul was in daze. She looked up to see Taehyung's handsome face. He really looked cold and calm. But it looked like a mask which covered his true self.

She snapped back to reality when Taehyung removed his arms around her. They had already entered the ship.

"What happened to her?", Jin asked seeing her pale face.

Taehyung, "She said flash lights bothered her"

Mr.Cheon reached out and patted her back. "Don't worry. It's over now"

Iseul smiled slightly and nodded. It was not the flash lights which bothered her but the mysterious woman. Who is she? Why does she follow Iseul?

Maybe it is someone I hurt? Are they chasing me down to seek revenge? She thought.

She sighed and looked ahead. It was a beautiful ship filled with so many crystal decorations. There was a large ballroom and a bar. And there was a pool in the front of the ship too.

She removed Jungkook's coat from her body since they were already inside and kept it with her. It wasn't that hard for her to act graceful and elegant since she herself used to be an elegant princess a long time ago. But the modern manners had a little bit of differences.

As they walked inside the ballroom, a lot of stares turned to them. Specially to her since she was already famous because of Mrs.Kim's marriage with Mr.Cheon.

Jungkook took the coat from her hands and whispered. "I'll keep this with me. Tell me if you need it"

Iseul nodded and let him take the coat.

"Hello Mrs.Kim,it's nice having you and your family here", A man in a suit approached them with a wine glass in his hands. He was an old man in his fifties and had a decent soft look.

"Mr.Choi,I should thank you for having us here. Let me introduce you to my husband and his daughter", Mrs.kim said and turned to Mr.Cheon. "This is Cheon Hyunbin. My husband. And this is Cheon Danbi"

Mr.Cheon did a hand shake with the man named Mr.Choi. "Wow,you are really handsome despite the age. No wonder Kim Yejun fell for you", both men laughed as they got along. "And you got a beautiful daughter there. Mrs.Kim, you finally got a daughter, huh? Your boys must be happy to finally have a sister"

Iseul almost spat and cursed but stayed silent giving them a fake smile.

Boys didn't say anything but smiled slightly to show their politeness. Mr.Choi didn't notice the rising tension between the boys and Iseul.

"Dan likes to annoy her brothers a lot. They rarely get along", Mr.Cheon said with a laugh.

Mr.Choi,"Ah,that means they already consider themselves as siblings. You know, the more you annoy your siblings, the more you grow attach to them. That's their love language"

Iseul almost rolled her eyes. She wanted sew that man's mouth so he would never open his mouth.

She again filled her face with a fake smile. "That's right. To tell the truth,I love them so much that I sometimes want to squeeze them to death"

Mr.Cheon coughed slightly and nudged her.

"Same here Bambi", Jungkook said and winked.

Jimin messed Iseul's hair,annoying her even more. She slapped his hand away. "Don't mess it,you fool. It took an hour for me to fix this", she tried to fix her hair again.

Jimin chuckled seeing her fixing her precious short hair.

Mrs.Kim smiled and turned to Mr.Choi. "By the way,congratulations. Where is the party boy?"

Mr.Choi turned around. "Soobin! Come here!"

A boy who was talking to some guests, turned around and smiled widely. He ran to them as soon as his father called him. When he smiled,a dimple popped out from his cheek.

Iseul frowned. Why does he seem familiar? Another two faces came to her mind for an unknown reason. Beomgyu and Yeonjun. She didn't know why.

The boy greeted them.

Elders talked with him heartily and congratulated him for his engagement.

As Soobin was talking, he suddenly looked behind everyone and exclaimed. "Oh! Yeonjun hyung!",he excused himself from them and ran past them.

Iseul immediately turned around and widened her eyes seeing Yeonjun.

Soobin hugged him tightly with a big smile. "You came! I was so worried thinking you won't be here today!"

Yeonjun patted his cheek. "Gosh,you little kid. I said I will come! Look at you,are you really getting engaged? Aren't you still a baby?"

Iseul couldn't understand why Yeonjun came here. He is a grim reaper for god's sake. And Soobin,he is a human. Do they know each other?

Soobin dragged Yeonjun towards them.

"Dad,this is my best friend I told you about. Choi Yeonjun!"

Mr.Choi smiled. "Finally, I'm meeting my son's life savior"

"Life savior?," Iseul asked loudly.

This took Yeonjun's attention. His bright eyes immediately darkened as he looked at her.

"Ah,yes yes. My son almost died from an accident few years ago. This young man here saved him. Though I wanted to meet him and thank him properly, he was always busy",Mr.Choi explained.

Yeonjun was still glaring at Iseul as he wanted to kill her on the spot. Iseul felt chills running down her spine. Just what did she do?

Suddenly, Jin stood infront of her blocking Yeonjun's view. He looked down at Iseul. "Let's go. Your dinner time past a long time ago. Didn't I tell you to not skip dinner? Let's go and eat"

Iseul was embarrassed when he scolded her like to a little kid. But even before she could rebutt,she was dragged away by Jin and Yoongi. Iseul looked back at Yeonjun who was talking with Soobin. When he felt her stare,he looked at her again.

Jin sat her down near the banquet while Yoongi went to bring a plate of snacks. "Don't skip meals. When that little stomach starts a war,don't forget I warned you"

Iseul glared at him. "Whatever"

Yoongi placed a plate on the table. It was filled with various fruits. "We can't eat until it is the banquet time. For now,eat this. And there is a chocolate fountain if you are interested",he pointed at the snack table and as he said,there was a big chocolate fountain on it.

Her eyes lit up.

"I said it before you go and dip your finger into it. Don't even dare. It's only there for the decoration", Yoongi added his last words. So,he didn't show her the fountain so she could enjoy it. He was just warning her to not act like a greedy little food theif and disgrace them.

Iseul's scowled. "That's stupid. Why waste such a tasty thing? And look! Kids are dipping their fingers on it! Why can't I?"

Jin,"You are not a kid"

Iseul pouted and started eating her pathetic food plate while her two brothers were standing beside her like two masculine bodyguards with crossed arms.

After finishing her plate,she stood up and cleared her throat. "I need to go to the washroom"

Jin nodded. "Go ahead. We'll be waiting here"

"No need. You two can join others", she said and walked away.

Iseul entered the bathroom and did her little business. As she was washing her hands,she felt a chill.

Someone is staring at her.

Who could be in there? She didn't hear anyone coming in. Is it Yeonjun? He wouldn't be that shameless to enter a women's bathroom, right?

She slowly raised her head and looked into the mirror.

Her scalp went numb and she couldn't utter a word for a moment seeing that strange ghost woman. She was right behind her!

Iseul's hands trembled.

She was never scared of anything. No ghost could scare her. But strangely, this person made her paranoid.

Iseul looked back hoping she wouldn't be there once she turned back but to her utter shock,the woman was there and her hand reached Iseul's neck before choking her.
