We pulled up outside the building and a man from Sandara's security team took the car to the staff parking lot. I had my own space considering I was part owner and I was glad that I had invested in the business because I at least would have some sort of income now that I no longer had my job at the travel agents. Bae and I walked towards the door of Masquerade, the building was three stories tall and had once been an old mill but thanks to my generous donation, had been converted into a brightly lit club bar and restaurant. The bouncers on ground level doors were dressed in tuxes with bright orange bands around their arms which held their ID's. I smiled as we passed, stopping briefly to give them each a mask, my sour mood from this morning leaving me as I got enveloped in the atmosphere and I was now feeling much better about the night. Once inside I told Youngbae to give the box of masks to one of the waiters and after taking out a mask for Sandara, I wandered over to the bar where the familiar figure was sitting. I tiptoed up behind her and then jumped forwards so that my hands shook her shoulders slightly as I shouted,

"Boo!" She barely even flinched though, she just turned around looking irritated before her eyes landed on me and she smiled wide.

"Aha, my partner in crime!" She proclaimed as she climbed off of the stool which was harder than normal because of the black high-waist pencil skirt she was wearing with the short sleeved red shirt. She looked like a she-devil in that get up especially in those heels that looked like death traps to me, Dara however just strutted her stuff over to me and pulled me into a hug. "How are you doing Bommie?" she questioned, pulling back so that she could look at me, her eyes boring into me with concern. I crumbled a tiny bit under that stare keeping my eyes averted as if I was unable to physically look her straight in the eye.

"You know, not so well." I replied giving her a strained smile but it soon turned into a real one as I took my eyes off of her to survey what all our money and hard work had gone in to. "Wow Dara you did it." I whispered awed by the building. When we bought the place it was a wreck but now it was a sleek restaurant and bar and then a night club down stairs which I had yet to see. The last time I had been here was just before the wedding and then it was overflowing with builders and dust so I couldn't really see anything.

"No we did it." She said back before hugging me again. "Thank you for making this possible." Her words were whispered in my ear as I squeezed her tightly.

"What else was I going to do with fifty grand?" I joked before pulling away. "What time are the guests due to arrive?" I looked around the near empty restaurant and smiled, it really looked wonderful after our renovations.

"About ten minutes, do you think you could get the masks and put one for each placement and then give the rest to the staff to hand out to those who aren't here for food, oh and when the club opens we'll have to send some down so that each person gets one on the door." She looked really serious as she spoke so I just laughed and patted her on the back.

"Don't worry so much it's going to be fine." I said trying to reassure her as I walked over to the waiter who was stood in the center of the restaurant holding the box of masks unsure what to do. "Oh and have a drink to relax, after all your hard work you're bound to get good reviews." She poked her tongue out at me before she strutted over to the bar whilst having a tight grip on Bae's hand, he didn't seem to mind at all that his hand was being crushed at all. No the guy just sent a goofy smile over his shoulder before returning his attention to Sandara. To think I used to be like that with Jiyong. I slapped my hand and shook my head to distract myself from thoughts of him, I didn't need that tonight. I walked over to the waiter who was stood there with a look of uncertainty as she clutched the box. I smiled taking it from him before calling all the waiting staff to order. "I want you each to take a mask, preferably one without feather because trust me they will annoy you." As I said this I blew up a puff of air to get the damned feather from my mask out of my face. This earned me a few chuckles before one by one they stepped forward and grabbed a mask. "Don't worry this won't be a part of your usual uniform it will just be for tonight so no need to panic about that part." I laughed when I received some disappointed looks but they hadn't been wearing the mask for an hour yet so they couldn't judge what it would be like. "Oh before I forget I want to get a picture so any of you who despise pictures better scoot now because this will be going on a wall." Two of the older staff left to go and check on the tables so I smiled before rushing over to Bae and Dara.

"Hey how's it going? Any problems, oh no it's a disaster already." Dara started so I cut her off by putting a hand over but regretting it when I felt her sticky lip gloss on the palm of my hand.

"Nothing's wrong, we just need you for a group photo." I smiled and pulled them over to the group of waiters who were joking around with each other whilst they waited. I pushed the two of them into shot and once they had all settled into position I grinned at them all, they looked amazing and there was no doubt in my mind that the night was going to be a success. Grabbing the camera out of the mask box I turned it on and faced the group. "Okay, on the count of three I want you all to say Masquerade. One...two...THREE!" I laughed as all of them shouted Masquerade with huge grins on their faces and quickly pressed the button so that they were all engulfed in a flash of white light before their smiling faces appeared on the little screen. "That's great guys and now I think we need one for fun. So when I count to three I want to all to pull a funny face or do a silly pose. Ready? One...two...THREE!" I chuckled as I clicked again and their poses were captured and saved to my camera. Bae and Dara were the best though, she had one leg on his shoulder because he had crouched down on the floor and he looked as if he was it whilst she held pouted at the camera with her finger on her lips as if to tell us to be quiet. Some of the younger guys had the funniest faces because they had their tongues hanging out as they drooled over the inches of leg that were revealed by Dara's position which just so happened to reveal some y black suspenders attached to her thigh high stockings. She's really going all out I thought before chuckling and handing the camera over to her so that she could see.

"Oh god that's amazing, you have to send me a copy of that." She laughed before dragging Bae from the floor. He took a look at the picture and laughed before snatching the camera from Dara's hand as the waiters dispersed to do their jobs.

"Right we need one of the bosses." He ordered and waved his hand to tell us to stand together. Dara and I rolled our eyes before smiling sweetly at the camera just as he was about to click the picture though the two of us jumped around so that we were back to back and did the Charlie's Angels pose, minus the one in the middle of course and the light flashed over us. Bae looked at the screen and laughed.

"Oh that is hot and that is definitely going to be going above the bar Dara." She reached forwards to snatch it from his grasp but he smiled wickedly and waggled his eyebrows at her. "If you want it you're going to have to do something for me first." He grinned as she dropped her arms before folding them across her chest.

"What do you want?" She asked, her voice laced with suspicion. Her eyebrows quirked upwards as B
