Luna, Onew, Yoona, Key, Sunny and Donghae were now performing a medley of songs from the Phantom of the Opera. Henry was behind the piano accompanying the singing group.

The other members were in their own little groups and couples. The audience was getting in to the mood of the place the singing group was creating. There were no acts or dances, but as passionate as the group was, they knew their audience are feeling the songs. The ambiance of the hall helped as well, as the lights slightly dimmed and the only bright lights focused on the performers.

Krystal and Taemin became an official couple days after the play. They were more childish than Jiwon and Jonghyun, however they were not ones to prolong a petty fight. They didn’t seem to have a problem at all and acted more professionally than the other couple.

Near the dance floor the couple were seen side by side having their little moment together.

“You look beautiful tonight, Krys” Taemin and her were holding hands while listening to the group on stage. He turned to Krystal only to find her expressionless and not reacting to what he said.

“Why? What’s wrong?” Taemin asked

“Yeah right, beautiful huh! You were even trying to flirt a while ago” Krystal said slightly annoyed with what she saw earlier. If she hadn’t known it was Sulli, she would’ve gone mad.

“Flirt? When? I’m with you the whole time” he said calmly

“When you were with Jjong and Ssul… why else were you there if you didn’t recognize Sulli from earlier.” She let go of his hand and crossed her arms

“Oh, c’mon Krys… I was looking for Jjong and then I saw he was talking to Sulli, which you are correct, I didn’t recognize at first. I just wanted to tease Jjong that’s why I was with them” he tried explaining. Krystal just let out a long sigh and turned to face him.

“Is that true?” Krys said slowly letting her guard down. She may look cold and snobbish but she’s not one who gets angry for a long time, she’s actually quite fun to be with.

“Why would I try and flirt with anyone if I can flirt all I want with you” he showed his sweet smile, reaching for her hand and kissed it.

“Fine… I’ll let it go… though I know that you’re just trying to please me. You’ll just have to make it up to me later” she countered and thoughtfully kissed his cheek which garnered a wide smile from the blushing male.

“Who’s that lady with Minho?” Jiwon asked Yuri. They were on one of the cocktail tables not too far from the mini bar.

“I think that’s Sulli… I’m not so sure though” Yuri answered. They were staring at the couple having drinks at the mini bar

“Really? Wow… so she’s showing some skin now huh” Jiwon studied Sulli from head to foot. “Are you sure it’s her?” she asked again

“We can just go there and ask right?” Yuri said

“Well… actually… I’m just waiting for her to get off Minho” Jiwon said smirking, having a plan in mind, she didn’t let her eyes off the couple

“Jiwon, what are you planning?” Yuri sensed that she might be on to something

“Just wait and see… I’m not having all the men’s attention to her alone” she smirked naughtily and grabbed another champagne glass from the roaming waiter.

“Ssul, can you accompany me to the restroom?” Vic said. Nickhun was behind her.

“Oh sure, I think I need to go too…” Sulli answered “We’ll just be in the restroom” she said facing Minho

“Ok. I’ll wait here with Nick” Minho said. Nickhun got a drink from the mini bar as well and starts to chat with Minho

“So… any progress?” Nickhun asked smiling

“I wanna believe we’re getting there… like I said, I’ll be patient with this” Minho sighed and chuckled when he remembe  what slipped out of Sulli’s thoughts earlier

“What’s funny?” Nickhun asked looking at the amusing Minho

“Nothing… just something she said earlier” Minho looked down still in his thoughts

“Oohh… So there’s progress after all huh” Nickhun punched his shoulder playfully. Minho just smiled

Both were about to start a conversation when suddenly Jiwon walked close to them and caught their attention.

“Hey guys! What’s up?” she looked at the two men.

“The usual talking… you’re alone?” Nick was the one who answered

“Uhmm… no… I was with Yuri earlier but she had to go to the restroom, then I saw you both here, so I thought why not chat with you a little” she answered but was expecting Minho to answer her

“Aah… ok” Nickhun just said

“Why so quiet Minho?” she asked when she noticed him deep in thoughts “by the way… who’s that lady you’re with earlier? You two seem to be chatting a lot… do we know her?” she directly faced Minho, while she did that, her eyes started to wander on Minho’s features.

“Oh, it’s Sulli. I thought you ladies were together before the party started?” Minho answered, and was surprised when he met her gaze, a lusty look he knew well.

“We were, but she wasn’t dressed yet when we left. I didn’t
