Beauty and Charm




White petals slowly float from the clouds onto my hair and onto my golden dress. In the mirror I look like an ancient greek goddess of beauty and charm, my black hair curls down my neck and bare collarbones, I blow myself a kiss and giggle awkwardly.

"I look beautiful," I whisper to myself, my dark red lips following my voice. "I can't believe I actually look like this.."

Whilst twirling, my dress lifts up slightly, making my dress look like a fancy ballgown. I have to thank whoever did my make up and designed this dress; everything is perfect. Glancing around my surroundings, I realise that I am in my school hall alone, the place is lit up with fairy lights strung in every crook and cranny available. Moonlight mysteriously glows through the stained glass windows and onto the floor of petals.

"You look beautiful," I jump at the sudden voice echoing. "I knew the dress would look perfect on you."

I turn around and gasp, my crush for years stands at the other side of the hall, the person I have always loved from afar. The one who makes me smile without knowing, the person who tears me up at his jokes, the boy who makes my heart race up like this; Jeon Jungkook. All I can do is shut my mouth in embarrassment as he practically flies towards me, not breaking eye contact, and stands in front of me with a slight grin.

"I- I- Um, I-"

"Shush," Jungkook places his finger onto my dry lips shutting me up automatically. "Let's talk later, for now, can I have your first dance?"

I shyly nod as my brain screams, I take his hand as he lets go of my lips, without squealing, and I let him guide me to the middle of the hall. A beam of light shines on us both, his handsome features even more prominent, I smile slightly.

"Do you know how to dance?" He asks gently, taking my other hand and putting it on his shoulder gently.

"I do," I reply without stuttering, "I had ballroom dancing lessons when I was younger."

"Don't be afraid to make mistakes," Jungkook places his hot hand onto my waist and brings me closer and whispers into my ear. "I will catch you when you fall."

Slightly startled, I step back to stand on the whim of my dress, everything slowly moves upwards, Jungkook getting further away. Before the ceiling comes into view two hands grab my back and pull me back up. I look away from Jungkook's eyes as he shows his bunny like smile. Nothing can ever come close to heaven; wait, am I dead? At this moment I don't mind, would being with Jeon Jungkook for eternity be that bad? Exactly. This scene is like in the K-Dramas Seohya and I watch together every Friday night, just before the male lead leans down for the first kiss. As if he can read my thoughts, his face slowly makes it's way closer. Damn. I can see the shining gleam in his dark brown eyes and the way his lips slightly curl at the sides and his hair that swoons across his forehead-.

"Wake up," he whispers. "Wake up."

"Huh?"

"I said wake up!" A feminine voice shouts from his mouth, "we're going to be late because of you!"

I use my arm to cover my eyes from the shining light thrown down onto my face, a blonde haired girl with peachy cheeks holds her phone torchlight into my face and laughs.

"Milae," I grumble, pushing her phone away. "Why did you wake me up like that? I was having such a wonderful dream."

"About Jungkook I'm guessing?" Milae snorts pointing at my chin. "You have drool over you, there's only one person who can make you slobber like that. Before you ask, yes, we have arrived and yes, you need to get out of the car and see the new house."

"Why did I agree to this again?" I sigh, putting on my black leather jacket and then tying my hair into a high ponytail. "I hope whoever we're living with is nice."

"I don't care if they're nice, as long as we don't live with pigs then I don't care too much who they are," Milae pulls me out of the car and slams the door. "Why do you always dawdle? Whoever is in there is going to think we have cold feet."

I hate to admit it, but, the house looks amazing from the outside. All of it is made from red brick with dark ivy climbing upwards on the right side of the house. It has an old aura but looks like it has been recently renovated as there are security cameras surrounding the house, I don't want to count how many of the show's cameras are watching Milae and I at this very moment. Blacked out windows decorate the front of the house so nobody can look inside from the outside, an original way to keep out paparazzi and obsessive fans from our personal life. I'm glad they have upped the game with security, The Talented have had too many close calls recently.

"With the people inside," I begin, looking up at Milae. "Are we going to introduce ourselves as The Talented or just ourselves?"

"Let's not make them uncomfortable with being too professional," Milae shakes her head. "For once let's just enjoy ourselves comfortably. I'm sure they know who we are already, I hope we know which group they are or it may get awkward fast."

"Y/N!" I look away from Milae to see Seohya running up to me with outstretched arms. "How can you sleep for so long? I was so bored in the car with nobody to fangirl with!"

"Sorry.." I hold in my breath as she hugs, squeezes, me to death. "I.. I was a little.. tired."

"Seohya don't kill her," I smile in relief to Lilly. "Are you feeling more refreshed from your nap? We're about to go in now."

"I am, thank you," I bow. "I can't wait to see who we're living with for six weeks."

I walk behind Lilly and Milae to try to talk to Yuoi but she either can't hear me because she has earphones in or she's ignoring me; probably the latter. Yuoi is one of those mysterious girls that sit in a corner writing lyrics all day and night. In some ways I'm glad she is how she is because without her we wouldn't be where we are now without her talent of music writing, but I also wish she would open up more and seem happier. Even Seohya can't make her laugh.

At last, we stand before the door to our new house, Lilly opens her hand to show a key resting on her palm.

"Shall we knock or unlock?" Lilly asks all of us, "I don't mind either way."

"Unlock." Milae and I answer simultaneously.

"Knock!" Seohya exclaims, earning glares from Milae and Yuoi. "Sorry."

"Unlock it is," Lilly slowly pushes the key into the lock and turns, nothing happens. "Oh."

"Try turning it right." Yuoi states, turning on her phone, the light illuminating her face.

I love seeing her face in light, there's a reason why she was named the 'Top Best Girl Crush'. Her attitude adds to it too, I don't know why a lot of girls fall for the rebel/ bad girl type but hey, I drool over Jungkook so I'm in no way to judge.

Lilly turns the key right and a piece of wall moves right revealing a blue lit screen with a fingerprint picture on it.

"Are we all going to stare at it or are we going to place one of our fingers onto it?" Milae grumbles, pushing Lilly away and placing her forefinger onto the screen, after a few seconds the screen turns green and the door slides to the right leaving an empty corridor in front of us. "See?Wasn't too hard was it to follow simple instructions?"

"Milae, you're going to get yourself killed one day because of your tendency to rush into things," Lilly steps into the corridor and we follow closely behind her. "Remember to smile, I'm looking at you Yuoi, and to get along with whoever they are."

"Yes, Lilly." We reply in unison.

Milae walks a little faster to walk beside Lilly, even she is excited to see who our roommates are.

The walls are white, paintings hang from them, I can still smell wet paint. Later I will look at the paintings in more detail and admiration after we have met them, my curiosity is eating more of me the closer we get to the end of the corridor. I have to fiddle with my fingers to stop myself from running down the corridor to get rid of my hunger.

"Nearly there," I hear Seohya quietly squeal to herself, if you didn't know The Talented well you would think she is the youngest. "I hope it's NCT DREAM..."

"Don't set your hopes to high," Yuoi says to Seohya. "They're probably a group we have never heard of, why would a popular group like NCT DREAM sign up to share a house with us?"

"We're popular and we signed up," Seohya remarks, sticking her tongue out at Yuoi. "Wouldn't you be happy if they are MONSTA X?"

"What?" Yuoi hides her face with her hood. "I only like their music, not them as people."

"Then why is your home screen Chanhyuk?" Seohya giggles, hiding behind me. "You like him."

"How do you know who is on my home screen?" Yuoi tries to grab Seohya but she moves out of the way. "Have you been on my phone?"

"Girls," Lilly intervenes calmly, "be quiet, whoever they are, they're only around this corner. I can hear a few male voices."

Milae groans whilst Seohya and I high-five.

"Okay, three, two, one."

Lilly and Milae walk around the corner first with the rest of us on their heels. I tiptoe to manage to look over Milae's shoulders to nearly fall over backwards if Yuoi didn't catch me.

"Who is it?" Seohya squeals, Yuoi nods. "Do we know them?"

"I only saw one.." I look into Seohya's eyes. "Our eyes met, and that's why I fell, guys, Jeon Jungkook is sitting on the sofa."
