Today is the day. The day where prom begins.

I really wasn't prepared for it AT ALL. But somehow, things were actually smooth these days. Like, suspiciously smooth.

You and your mom were planning to just buy some affordable gown a few days ago once you get home from school. But surprisingly, once you arrived home, your mom told you that a huge box was delivered at your house by some of your classmates, to which their servants were the ones who brought it there of course.

They said that it came from someone specific, to which they didn't specify who which is kinda annoying.

You went to your room along with the box, which was quite heavy to bring, and started opening it. When you finally opened it, you were surprised on what you saw.

-

"Wow, you absolutely look so beautiful..." Your mom said as she looked at you with a endearing smile on her face after putting some finishing touches to your makeup.

"Wooooow! You look like a princess, Unnie!" Your little sister, Taeyeon, shouted as she hugged you with her astonished eyes staring at you.

"Aren't you going to say something, dear?" Your mother asked your dad, with a hint of unpleasantness covered by her cheery smile due to your father just being silent.

"Y-Yes. You look lovely of course, ____..." Your dad replied, trying to sound happy but he looked like he doesn't want you to go with you looking so beautiful.

'I don't want to let those guys look at my beautiful daughter like this!' Your father said in thought.

Knock! Knock!

"Looks like the chauffeur is here," Your mother stated.

Mr.Jong-hoon insisted on bringing a chauffeur for me, even though I insisted not to. I guess it's quite difficult to say no to a royal duke...

"Well, you better hurry before prom starts." Your mother added as she looked at you with a smile on her face.

You smiled back in return, and went to the door and opened it to see your chaffeur outside. The chaffeur assisted you to the car and after that, you headed off.

-

You finally arrived at the entrance of the venue. Once you stepped out of the car with the assistance from the chauffeur, you saw a huge fancy building right in front of you.

(A/N: This is the Vienna Opera House, I know (or not). But just think of it as yes lmao.)

This place is so huge...

Shaking off your thoughts, you waste no time and started heading your way inside.

As you entered, you were welcomed by a very wide place with luxurious interior in it. Expensive-looking couches and tables, lavish paintings and decors, and even an enormous chandelier.

I swear this is like my house's just a dot of this place...

"Right this way, milady."

A servant stated as he showed the way to which you followed.

You finally arrived to your destination, now facing a huge fancy double door. The door then slowly opened, revealing an enormous ballroom with a lot of people in their grand gowns and suits.

After getting up the courage, you started walking in.

All eyes started to land on you, as if a beautiful goddess has arrived. You could hear numerous chatters and sounds of astonishment.

This is so embarrassing...

"Ladies and gentlemen! May you please take your seats as we're about to start our program."

With that, people started taking their seats as you went to yours, which seats were already assigned a few day ago.

The program started, and it was just mostly full of speeches and some intermission numbers, but soon is the part you've been kinda waiting for.

"And now, let us start our royal gown and suit competition!" One of the hosts said as people started clapping.

"May I please call on the representatives of each class to please come up on stage!"

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit...

"You ready?"

You looked up to see someone holding out his hand to you.

Taehyung?!

"U-Uh, yes..." You replied as you stood up and placed your hand on his.

"You look beautiful."

You suddenly blushed on what he had said and with that, the two of you went on your way to the stage.

The guys were the first to represent themselves, so they start to ramp their suits on the stage, showing some poses of their outfits as the audience cheered.

As expected, Taehyung with his popular charm and stylish suit, gained the most attention from the audience.

After that, the boys went down of the stage. All of the gown representatives, including you, started ramping your gowns on the stage. When it was your turn, a lot of people really admired your look and your gown.

When all of that is done, the audience cheered and the judging of the contest begins.

-

"The winner of the royal suit goes to...Kim Taehyung!"

People started cheering as Taehyung went to the front of the stage.

"And the winner for the royal gown goes to...____!"

Your were surprised as your name was called out and with that, you also went forward beside Taehyung.

The both of you were then crowned with beautifully created crowns made of authentic gold and diamonds, and people gave a round of applause.

"Now is the time where we'll witness our two winners have their ballroom dance. Let's give them a round of applause!"

After that, music started playing and both of you started to be in your ballroom dancing positions. Soon, the both of you started dancing.

"Congratulations, ____. You really deserved it," Taehyung said as he seemed very happy.

"Thanks. Congrats to you as well," You replied back, somehow shy about it.

"So, how's your life going so far?" He asked, trying to come up with a conversation.

Oh, I don't know. Going pretty great so far I guess...

"Well, life became much more peaceful I guess..." You answered.

To start, I didn't go to the hospital anymore thankfully, and also for not being an emotional wreck for a long time now...

"How about you? You seem to be in good spirits today," You questioned, wanting to give him an opportunity to talk about himself this time.

Also because you're curious about it.

"Is that so? Maybe I just learned something that changed me a lot perhaps..." He said, as he looked down with an emdearing smile as if he remembered something pleasant.

Hm, interesting...

"But also because you're here," He added as he gave you a wink.

"Quit playing me, dumbass," You retorted as you glanced away, a bit flustered from his statement.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you may now start enjoying yourselves and dance to your heart's content!" The host announced and the people started dancing as well.

"I guess this is over now. I'm gonna head to the restroom," You said as the both of you stopped dancing.

"It's been a pleasure dancing with you," He said as he took your hand, and placed a kissed on top of it.

Surprised by it, you blushed once more and soon took your leave.

-

You were now in the restroom, and the main reason you went there is because you want to check yourself out fully since you weren't able to see much of yourself due to your nervousness.

"Wow..." You uttered as you looked at yourself at the mirror.

hairstyle

(for the makeup, I decided to make it according to skin color cuz why not bring the best of each lelel)

for light-skinned:

for medium tone-skinned:

for dark-skinned:

When I finally looked at my dress, I started to be even more amazed.

*flashback*

"What..." You muttered as took a folded that's on top of the pink cloth inside the box and started reading it.

Hey, hoe!

I actually made this outfit for you with the help of some of our classmates ever since the announcement of the gown thing. You don't really seem like the type to adore fancy gowns much, so I decided to make this as a surprise for you.

Even if I wasn't able to be fully present with the making of this gown, I made sure our classmates did, and I'm the one who made the design in the first place of course! Thankfully, we're able to finish it after a few weeks!

No need to wonder where I got your measurements from, you already know that we know each other too much. wink wonk.

Nevertheless, I hope you'll like the dress. I'm definitely sure that it'll suit you a whole lot!

Lots of love,
Jhona

*end of flashback*

prom gown

It really does look amazing...

"I miss you, Jhona..." You muttered, feeling sad for a moment when you remembered her again.

Oh, crap. I better head back now...

-

You finally arrived back at the ballroom but you're currently quite lost on where to go since there are a lot of people scattered around.

"Hey, there."

You suddenly froze as you felt a familiar yet fearsome voice to hear.

It was Jimin, along with Yoongi with him.

How are they still here...

"Would you let me have this dance with you?" Jimin asked as he held out his hand.

You looked at his hand cautiously, hesitating to even answer.

"Well, sadly, I don't dance with shorties."

You answered as you left his hand hanging, to which he let down his hand.

Since I'm already a shorty...but mostly because they're obviously bad news.

"Too bad, we don't take no for an answer."

Jimin said as he prevented you to move away past by him. You decided to move back but Yoongi blocked your way back as well.

"Unfortunately, she's going to have to dance with me."

Jungkook appeared and suddenly took your hand and pulled you away from them, his expression showing dominance and superiority at them.

Jungkook!

When Jimin and Yoongi were about to follow us, they were suddenly spilled with a tray full of glasses filled with wine.

"Oops, looks like I accidentally ruined your suits for tonight, lads..."

They both looked to see Taehyung apologizing as he had that mischievous smirk on his face.

He was the one who purposely bumped into a servant to spill the drinks at them.

The crowd started staring at the two, who were now in a complete mess. Their top suits are now drenched and with the commotion, Jimin clicked his tongue in annoyance and signaled Yoongi for them to leave.

They both finally left the building.

-

"Thanks for saving me back there," You said as the both of you were slow dancing.

"No need to thank me. I'm always willing to help a girl I like," Jungkook responded with a look of seriousness in his eyes.

"And you look more beautiful tonight."

He added as he softened his expression along with a cute smile.

"T-Thanks. You don't look so bad as well," You replied, blushing a bit.

"Are you sure that's what you're only thinking?" He said as he looked at you with an unconvinced expression on his face.

Okay, fine. You looked hot- I mean handsome as hell...

"Yes, that's it. You have a problem with it?" You lied nonetheless.

"Oh, well. I can already see the true meaning in your eyes anyways," He said as he looked at your eyes with his charming ones, making you glance away in response.

-

"Oh, you're finally here," Mr.Jong-hoon said as he saw a beautiful lady wearing a fancy masquerade mask and a stunning navy blue dress.

"Well, I'm here to finish some important matters with you, but mostly here to have fun as well," The lady said as she walked up to him, removing her mask.

"(JJK's mom's name)..."

"Shush. Stop calling me that," She quickly hushed him, quite displeased and not wanting him to say it.

"I see you're still not fine with that after all these years," He said as he let out a light chuckle.

The both then took their seats, which they were at the interior balcony of the ballroom.

"Well, I don't plan to go back to the things we were," She responded as she rested her chin on top of her hand with her elbow on the table.

"Why's that?" He asked with a questioned look.

"It's better this way..." She answered as she huffed out a faint sigh.

"But I'm fine with joining them in their family events and other cases," She added as she watched the people dancing below.

"So, you're finally coming back-"

Before he could finish his sentence and give her a hug, she interrupted and used her hand to put him back to his seat.

"No. I'll just visit there if I have to," She clarified, making Mr.Jonghoon felt sad like a little kid.

"Very well," He said as he let out a pleased smile.

And with that, the both of them started talking about other things. About Mrs.Kim, their children, their current situations and all. In the end, both of them had a decent chat with each other.

"So this ____ girl, who do you think she'll end up with?" Mrs.Jeon questioned as she spotted you with Jungkook and Taehyung, both of them seeming to fight over you.

"Who knows..." Mr.Jonghoon answered, unsure as well.

"It might take a while for her to find her answer at the right time, don't you think?" He added as he enjoyed the view of his two sons acting like idiots.

"I guess so," She stated, letting out a chuckle as they continued watching all of the people having fun at the ballroom.

"Looks like she already achieved her reward..." Mr.Jonghoon muttered as he could finally see his two sons who now have genuine smiles on their faces.

They may be far, but deep down, he could feel his sons' true happiness.

And he's glad to have appointed you.

...

Well, they're rich. I'm not.
They're charming. I'm not.
They're loved by many...

Sort of.

Hahahaha

Just kidding.

They're loved by people who truly cared about them.

And that includes me.

• The end •

This is the end, yet still an ongoing love story. Now, it is up to you to decide on how you end it.

Thank you
