I stretched out, feeling like I've finally had a good night sleep. I smiled as I heard soft voices outside my door, meaning the boys were just getting up. Surprisingly, they weren't as rowdy and noisy as they usually were. I felt so much better after confiding in Hoshi last night, I felt as if one hundred pounds was lifted off my shoulders.

I took my time as I got up to get ready, even though I felt my energy back, I wanted to savor this feeling. I quickly threw up my hair and slipped on a pair of blue jeans and a sweater. 

I heard the voices start to grow louder, I guess I should head out and say hi. I looked in the arcade and the library, but they were all empty. I hope everything's okay. I carefully walked down to the living room and kitchen to see them all sprawled out around the room.

All their heads whipped in my direction, "well good morning sunshine," Mingyu said, "we've been waiting forever for you to get up."

Waiting for me, but why? I sat on the arm of the chair next to Dino as he chimed, "okay, she's here, now tell us" I threw my arm around the back of the couch to get comfortable. 

I looked around the room for one particular face but it wasn't there. Where could Woozi be? My eyes met Seungcheol's as I was scanning the room. Our eyes only met for a few seconds before I had to look away. Even then I could still feel his eyes on me as I avoided making eye contact again.

There was a silence in the room until Jeounghan started to nag "oh come on, I'm dying to know!"

Seungcheol took a deep breath, "there's a new clan that has recently formed, and they are throwing a masquerade," he paused as the others were all spitting out questions. He waited for the boys to calm down before speaking again, "yes, they're a group of 10 girls, I believe they're calling themselves Pristin," he got up out of his chair, "anyways the ball is tomorrow night, so if you need anything I think you should leave soon."

After that he just walked out, leaving everyone asking about who needed what. Hoshi made eye contact with me and smirked, "MinYoung, I think you should go tell Woozi the news, he might need to go shopping." 

The boys all agreed and started to shoo me away. Before leaving I shoot Hoshi a glare to which he just winked, with his silly grin stuck on his face. He didn't tell anyone, did he?

I started off with checking the music room, I laid my ear against the door, I heard frustrated sighs and vicious typing. I gently knocked on the door, just to receive a loud grunt as there was a loud sound, "i-it's me, MinYoung, um, I can come back later, sorry." I awkwardly apologized but as I started to walk away I heard the door swing open.

Woozi POV

The second I woke up, I knew today was the day, I was going to finish the songs I've been working on. I've been locked up in the studio since sunset. I was just getting into the groove of things when the was a rough knock, "meeting downstairs in 10 minutes!" Seungcheol yelled from the other side. I didn't bother answering because I didn't plan on going. If it's really important someone will tell me later tonight.

Not even 5 minutes later there was another knock, "we're waiting on you and a couple others, so come down soon." Wonwoo ordered. I just rolled my eyes and slipped my headphones back on. 

Again, another 5 minted later there was a small knock, I threw my headphones off and groaned annoyance and frustration. I was about to yell at whoever was on the other side but I was cut off, "i-it's me, MinYoung, um, I can come back later, sorry."

Instantly my still heart dropped into my stomach. I quickly saved my work as I heard her start to walk away. I sped to catch her before it was too late. Her back was still turned to me, but she had stopped walking. I grabbed her wrist to turn her to face me. She seemed quite surprised, "I'm sorry," her eyes grew with confusion and shock, "I'll let you get back to working."

Did I look mad? I tried to soften my face, "you didn't bother me, you can visit me whenever you like." I couldn't help but smile at the thought of her listening to my music and hanging out while I was working. I snapped back to reality, realizing she hadn't said anything. Her eyes were glued to her feet, making me worry. Did she have bad news? Did I do something to upset her? 

I realized she wasn't looking at her feet, but looking at me still holding on to her wrist. My heart had jumped into my throat as I quickly let go, making me nervous. I had forgotten that I was still holding on to her. I looked anywhere but at her, "so what did you have to tell me?"

"Ah," I saw the lights come back on in her brain, "I guess there's a new clan having a masquerade tomorrow, and we're going shopping tonight." She paused looking at her feet again, "I was going to ask if you wanted to come."

A new clan? I was so lost in the thought of who they might be, I almost missed the way MinYoung looked up at me. I got lost in her chocolate brown eyes, they were innocent and doe-like. Her plump lips were barely parted. All the worries of finishing the song had washed over. All I could do was nod with a small smile.

Her round eyes instantly turned into crescents as she widely smiled, "sweet, the rest are waiting downstairs." She grinned and skipped away. All I wanted to do was wrap my arms around her from behind, but I didn't. Instead, I watched her perky as I followed shortly behind her.

Only a small group of us decided to go shopping. We had gone to a store where we knew they carried different masks. On our way over to the mall, the others had already decided that all us boys were going to wear the classic black mask. We were mostly looking for MiYoung's mask. She tried to protest, saying that she wanted a plain one too, but we ended up winning. 

At the back of the store, there was a full wall covered in different masks. MinYoung's mouth hung open in awe. I chuckled at her reaction while the others already started adventuring. I stayed back with her and Seungcheol, who already started going through some black masks.

MinYoung's POV

"How about this one?" Seungcheol asked, handing me a sparkling black and silver mask with tall feathers. I shook my head and he resumed his search. I have to admit, I felt a little awkward shopping with Woozi and Seungcheol. I silently hoped that someone would come over and lighten the atmosphere. Seungcheol handed me another mask, similar to the last.

I shook my head again, "I don't know if that's really my style," I admitted, I didn't want too much attention. I wanted to be like the other boys and just blend in, but they all were convinced with 'glamming me up' in Jeonghan's words. I could hear the boys giggling from across the store. Woozi, on the other hand, has been silent since we've started shopping. 

Seungcheol pouted, "but I think you'd look gorgeous in it," I turned to him, ready to give him a doubtful look but he went from cute to y in .02 seconds. His eyes bore into mine and slowly moved down to my lips. I couldn't help but be hypnotized by him biting his bottom lip. 

"What about this one?" Woozi said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I turned to him, the mask he was holding was perfect. I smiled up at him in awe, of course, he would be the one to find it.

Just then Seungkwang and DK come skipping over, "Joshua, Hoshi, Vernon, and Jeonghan are all ready to go," Seungkwang said, he noticed my mask, "is that the mask you're getting?" 

I took it out of Woozi's hands, "yep," I gave Woozi the biggest grin I could. I could feel Seungcheol's eyes burning holes in my skull, but I just ignored it. I was too distracted by the look on the two boys faces. I got a gut feeling that they were up to no good. 

DK took me by the wrist and dragged me away, without a word. I quickly handed Woozi the mask back, so they could buy it. I was dragged into the same dress store that I went to last time we all went shopping. I saw Jeonghan standing by the dressing room, "what's going on?" I asked as I was shoved into a fitting room with 3 beautiful dresses.

I could tell that they were all smirking, "we already picked dresses out for you," Jeonghan explained, "try the white and black one first, DK said it goes perfectly with your mask." I rolled my eyes, what am I going to do with these boys? I squeezed into the dress, they were right though, it was perfect.

I quickly changed back into my normal clothes and left with the dress. When I walked out they gave me a disappointed look. I decided to tease them a little bit, "sorry guys, you'll just have to wait for tomorrow" I said, winking at them.

The second we got home I decided it was about time I took a nice relaxing bubble bath. I took a deep breath, sinking into the warm bubbles. Automatically my mind went to earlier today with Woozi and then to earlier with Seungcheol. What am I going to do? I knew I liked Woozi but did I maybe like Seungcheol as well? Even though my muscles were relaxed, my mind wasn't.

Suddenly, there was a knock on my door, "just a second!" I called out. I quickly got out and put on my pajamas, letting my damp hair hang wildly. I opened my door to reveal Seungcheol standing there, "sorry I was taking a bath, wanna come in?" 

As he silently entered, something seemed off with him. He had a look in his eye, but I couldn't figure out exactly what it was. I closed the door behind him and when I turned around, he was towering over me. I took a few steps back to put some space in between us, but my back hit the door. I was cornered. 

"W-what are you doing?" I stuttered as I tried my best to avoid looking at him. I felt my whole body stiffen as he laid his hands against the door, trapping me in my spot. 

His head hung low as he started breathing heavily. His voice was low and husky as he spoke, "I just can't control myself anymore," he started, "seeing how the others were looking at you, and how you and Woozi were acting around each other" The was a slight pause before he lifted his head up. I couldn't help but notice how his eyes were a shade of red I've never seen before. They were brighter than the night at the club but darker than when Woozi and I had argued. 

I didn't say a word, I was at a loss. He started to inch closer to me, closing the space between us. My body was telling me to let it happen, but my mind was telling me otherwise. As he was inches away, my mind when blank, and before I knew it his plump, soft lips were crashing into mine. 

I placed my hand on his chest to push him away, but instead, he took my hand and held it against the door. He slammed his body against mine, at that point I was pushed over the edge, my body started to act on its own as my mind shut off.

I took my free hand and grabbed the back of his neck to deepen the kiss. There was a certain sense of need and urgency between us. We had too much built up between us that just exploded. I felt his body grind against mine as his tongue teased my bottom lip, asking for an entrance. I didn't grant his wishes, instead, I started to play with his hair. 

I heard a low growl before he bit my bottom lip, causing a small whimper to escape my mouth. He used the opportunity to slip his hot tongue past my lips.

I got my hand free from his grip and slipped it underneath his loose shirt, running my hand up and down his toned abs. His hands hungrily explored my body, finally landing on my thighs. He lifted me by my thighs, causing me to wrap my legs around him for balance, which only made us closer. 

He dropped me on my bed roughly, his eyes were deep red and looked me up and down. I looked up at him and felt my heart clench. Yes, I wanted this, but it didn't feel right, not from him. He straddled me and attacked my lips once more. This time, I successfully pushed him away. 

I watched as his eyes slowly turned from dark red to his normal mocha brown color. I could tell he already knew what I was going to say because he couldn't meet my eyes. I pulled my knees in front of me and  wrapped my arms around them, "I'm sorry, I just-"

"I knew this was going to happen," he muttered under his breath. He finally met my eyes, the fire that once lived in his eyes were gone now. It killed me to look into his dead eyes, "Well, at least I tried. I guess I'm not the one you want."

There was a silence between us, I didn't know what to say. Eventually, he gave up and left with a simple goodnight. Guilt started to eat away at me, why didn't I stop him sooner? Why does it feel like I cheated on Woozi? Why does it have to be him that I want?
