A hour until the ball starts Yuri's stylist and maid were helping her get ready until someone knocks on the door.

 

~Knock Knock~

 

Yuri: Come in.

HHK: Yuri, There is exactly an hour until the ball starts.

Yuri: Thanks. Is mom and dad ready?

HHK: Yes. Emperor and Madame are greeting the guest.

Yuri: Are any of my friends here?

HHK: Mostly everyone is here.

Yuri: Is it okay, if you call the Yoong up here?

HHK: Okay. (Left the room and head to Yoona)

Yoona: HHK, is Yul ready?

HHK: Almost. She wants to see you.

Yoona: Alright. (Following HHK)

(Yuri finished getting ready and told her stylist and maids to leave the room while Yoona enters the room)

Yoona: Yul, are you ready?

Yuri: Yeah.

Yoona: What's up, Why did you call me up here?

Yuri: I just need someone to talk too. I don't know why but I'm nervous.

Yoona: Why? You did this three years ago.

Yuri: I know I did but I feel more nervous this time.

Yoona: It's okay, Yul. Minho is there to accompany you.

Yuri: I will feel awkward.

Yoona: Just act normal. He will be up here soon. I saw uncle talking to him before I came up here.

Yuri: To me down? Does it have to be him?

Yoona: Yes and Yes. (Someone knocks on the door)

Minho: Hey are you ready?

Yuri: Yes.

Yoona: I'll go first. (Left the room while Minyul awkwardly talk to each other)

Minho: Are you ready?

Yuri: Yeah. I'm just a little nervous.

Minho: Don't be nervous. I'll be next to you the whole time. (Yuri looks at him) I mean We are going to be next to you.

Yuri: Mm.

Minho: Let's go, everyone is waiting for you. (Interwined their arms together then making their way down the stairs)

Yuri: You know, Thanks for taking care of everything for my party.

Minho: No problem. Anything for a friend, Isn't that what everybody say. (Yuri looks at Minho while walking down the stairs) Don't focus on me, Watch your step.

Yuri: Sorry. (Everyone watches MinYul walking toward the Emperor)

Emperor: Thank you Minho for escorting my daughter.

Minho: No problem, Uncle. (Surprises by seeing his parents in the party)

Mrs. Choi: Minho, are you that surprise that we are here.

Minho: Yes, I thought you two are not able to make it tonight.

President: Why not? The Kwon family is like family to our family.

Mrs. Choi: You look lovely Yuri.

Yuri: Thank you auntie. Excuse me. Dad, I would like to go to my friends?

Emperor: Of course.

President: Go with her Minho. (Minho nodded)

 

MinYul exchanging conversation while they whisper at each other.

 

Minho: Thanks for that. I didn't really feel like talking to our parents that long.

Yuri: No problem. I feel the same. (Got to their friends)

Yoona: You two didn't even last five minutes with you'll parents.

Yuri: This party is already enough for me to have many people I don't even know. If we stayed there longer I know my parents will make me meet every single people in this room.

Siwon: You will end up meeting them soon anyways.

 

During the party, The guys ask the ladies to dance. MinYul had no choice to dance together.

MinYul smiled and laugh while they were dancing, their friends and parents were happy to see them getting along. 

 

Yuri: I know that you don't want any scandal going on between us.

Minho: I don't. It's so distracting me from work. I can't even enter my office peacefully.

Yuri: Hey, this is not my fault. If I only knew it was you, I would have said a big No to Ah Ria.

Minho: Keep you voice down. Everyone will hear you and our parents and friends are watching us.

Yuri: Fine. You are showing that you are so bored. Act like we are having a good conversation and smile.

Minho: Fine, I'm only doing this because I don't want to disappoint our parents. (Fake smile while Yuri fake giggle)

 

Back to their friends

 

Taemin: Would you look at that, Yuri noona and Minho hyung are smiling and laughing together. (Yoona looks over at MinYul)

Yoona: That's good.

Sooyoung: Hey, you never know if they are acting. You know those two are good at acting especially hiding their feelings. (The girls giggled)

Siwon: According to Minho's smile and how he looks at Yuri, that's not acting. It's pretty similar how he use to look at her when you know.

Yoona: To Yul's face, she is very confuse. She is just doing this because she do not want to disappoint her parents.

 

Few hours later, The party ended only MinYul and Minho's parents were left in the party.

 

Minho: Mom and Dad, It's late. How come you two are still here?

President: Relax son. We are about to leave, your uncle is just getting permission from us that's all.

Minho: Permission?

President: Your uncle will tell you. Your mom and I have to get going. (Minho's parents bid bye to them)

 

While Minho's parents left the house, they headed to Emperor's office.

"Emperor sits down on his chair while HHK closes the door. He smiles at MinYul waiting for Emperor's news while they both look nervous"

Yuri: What is it dad?

Emperor: Minho starting tomorrow, you will be living with Yuri. (Yuri looks at Minho on what he will respond to her dad)

Minho: Yes uncle.

Emperor: Good. Yuri?

Yuri: There is no way I'm going to live on the same roof with this guy. (Minho looks at her) No way, I'm going to agree with this.

Emperor: Sweetheart.

Yuri: (Looks at her dad) Hugh fine.

Emperor: Good. You two may leave now. I'll see you two tomorrow.

 

Minho walks out first then Yuri while HHK stayed to talk to Emperor.

 

HHK: Is this really the right thing to do to get this two together?

Emperor: Yes. Do you think they will last long in the same roof?

HHK: I'm not sure.

Emperor: In few weeks this two will get closet. I'm getting old here. I want them to get married soon. I know that Yuri will be regaining her memories soon.

HHK: How can you be so sure, Emperor?

Emepror: I just know. (Smiled)

 

Back to MinYul heading out the mansion.

 

Yuri: Why do you have to agree to my dad just like that? You didn't have to agree with him. Why do you always agree with what he wants? (Yelled)

Minho: It's because...

Yuri: Because what? Tell me? (Yelled)

Minho: You know what Yuri... I'll just see you tomorrow, I'm tired. (Walking away from her)

Yuri: Don't walk away from me! (Minho drove off) Aish... I hate this, why does it have to be him?

 

Minho though: I know where uncle is getting too. I have no choice to agree at everything because I'm your dad's successor. (Yuri got home then calls Yoona)

 

Yoona: Yul, What's up?

Yuri: You can't believe what my dad is planning.

Yoona: What is it? I guess it's not a very good news by the tone of your voice.

Yuri: He is making me live with Minho and Ah Ria for few weeks or months.

Yoona: few weeks or months?

Yuri: I know. And why does Minho always have to agree with my dad all the time?

Yoona: Yul, it's because he is the successor.

Yuri: Why does it have to be him?

Yoona: It's because Minho is good looking, intelligent, responsible, reliable and many more that many girls are willing to be with.

Yuri: I hate this. How did dad even discover him?

Yoona: Our family and his are really good friends ever since. There is something that you will remember soon about our childhood days.

Yuri: Childhood days? What is it?

Yoona: I already said too much. Just trust me, you will remember it soon.

Yuri: (nodded) What if I don't remember?

Yoona: You will. Yul, It's getting late. I'll talk to you later.

Yuri: Okay.

 

(Conversation ended)

Minho: Yes, I was a bit worried because you looked fine when we we're doing the pictorial.

Yuri: I'm fine, but just really tired.

Minho: Okay, but are you hungry. You know, you haven't ate lunch.

Yuri: I'll eat later....

Minho: No, later come on and eat. I cooked porridge for you. (Minho grabbed Yuri's hands and lead her to kitchen)

Minho: Sit there.

Yuri: Okay. (Sat on the stoll)

Minho: You know, I was really worried because you're sick and Auntie and Uncle told me to take care of you while they are gone.

Yuri: We'll, I'm okay right now.

Minho: No, you are not.

Yuri: Yes, I am.

Minho: Just be lucky, that you are the first girl that I cooked for..

Yuri: Haha, funny... What about Krystal? You haven't cooked for her..

Y-manager: What? Minho is living with you?

Yuri: I know.

Y-manager: How did that happened?

Yuri: No other than my dad. I wasn't going to agree on it but I have no choice. Because Minho agreed to it without thinking about it.

Y-manager: Minho respects your dad. Maybe that's why he couldn't say no to him.

Yuri:..... (Looks down)

Y-manager: You know he is not that bad for a guy. (Looking at Yuri)

Yuri: I know that. Can we change the subject now? I don't want to talk about this anymore.

Y-manager: Okay.
