(*Hope it isn't too boring. I will have the last ending chapter updated. Thank you and please enjoy. ^^) The hotel banquet hall was a dazzling affair of fairy-tale beauty, from the smooth marble floor to the high ceilings graced with stone cornices. The chandeliers hung at intervals over the hall, giving the place very much the look of the renovated medieval castle. Long windows lined the walls. A long sweep of stairs went up the right side, carpeted with plush red down the centre and roses decorated along the path. The orchestra played unobtrusively in the background. Most guests stood by talking in small groups. Some sat at the dining tables. The guests are all dress in casually classic formal attires, the men in suits and the women all in elegant gowns. Sora late in dressing after a hard work of organizing the place. She slowly walked downstairs looking around the hall in satisfaction. She put on a smile as others greeted her. She was in search for more of familiar faces. Even though it has been weeks since that night, she still purposely whined and given Leeteuk the cold shoulder after he changed his mind about giving her the surprise... With work, she too had decided to accept the job of hosting a party for her parents to keep busy. It's a party for many wealthy people to show off their expensive pieces of rare jewels. Some are chosen to model the rarest pieces. As a hostess it was her job to mingle, to make sure everyone felt comfortable, to make sure staffs made their rounds with finger food and drinks. As well, a very tight security. Sora slowly made her way through the crowd. She had took a great amount of time picking out the fabric and spent money to custom made her gown to rush for the big event. She wasn't the only female wearing expensive pieces on her though. Sora wore one of her favorite family jewel as well. A set of diamond drop earrings and bangle bracelet. Also she left her wedding ring on, which she resourced about his family jewel. A rare pink diamond ring. Very plush and has a faultless spark, studded with five carats of diamond. To her surprise, it is one of the most expensive ring, a cost of $10.8 million. Given that it was too valuable to wear out but to precious to not wear. To match her jewels, Sora had her dress made in a vintage ivory v-neck embroidered lace a-line, princess gown, a cost of $1.5 million. Her long hair in waves tied back simply for the night, which her stylist styled. She made sure everything about her was faultless, being the hostess. Sora smiled brightly as she came to greet the Park's who were chatting away with her parents. "So, you're the young lady responsible for all this," Mr Park said. "Guilty... I hope you approve. It's very kind of you to give much notice." She replied. "It's very lovely, my dear." Grandmother Park said. "Refined, charming, smart, proud. Not to mention gorgeous. Your daughter is such a dangerous young lady." Grandmother Park added. "Why so?" Mrs Kang asked. Sora kept quiet as her eyes search the halls. "Charming enough to make everyone fall in love with her. Don't worry she is hardly a perfection. What a boring woman that would be!" Mrs Park laughed. Sora hid her grim hearing them talk about her. "You put in a tall order, mother. A girl with perfect flaws for the future daughter in-law. Though I think I met her earlier awhile back when I was trying to avoid your plans for me to meet different women. A Ad put out 'wife wanted for my son' desperate for a grandchild?" Leeteuk stepped in and stood next to Sora. "Is that why you asked to go on the business meeting trips for me in Paris?" Mr Park asked. He nodded at his father. They all laughed. "Don't you remember? Mother knows best." Mrs Park warned her son. Leeteuk toyed with his champagne glass and Sora didn't lift her head up as she pretend to not have heard. Mr Kang had mention the divorce papers were done and his attorney had stopped by the house to drop it off. "Mr Kang!" Mrs Park said. "Dear!" Mrs Kang scolded him. "I thought you wanted me to end it with her." Leeteuk gave his mother a look. "Remember?" He added. "I am going to pretend I didn't hear that." Mrs Park took a deep breath. "I hope you continue to pursue her. She's a stubborn one though." Mrs Kang said. "I'm still here you know. Don't you think it's inappropriate to talk of such a thing here." Sora finally spoke and took a corner glance at Leeteuk. They kept quiet. "Do you have a moment?" Leeteuk leaned in, whispering to her. She shivered from the cold air running down her neck and tensed. "Yes, sure." She answered. Sora moved and led him through the back halls that were reserved for staffs only. "This way." She glanced back, as he hadn't said a word to her. "He seems not himself tonight or am I thinking too much?" She thought. Taking a narrow set of stairs, she pushed open a white door with a silver plate that read the Rose Room, a place used for mostly brides. Sora switched on the lights and went inside, waiting for Leeteuk to follow before closing the door behind them. The room was quiet and quite large. "Busy much?" He asked, shifting awkwardly as he stood. "A little, but things are in perfect order." She answer. "You look really beautiful tonight." He said. She looked to him as he ran his back hand caressing the side of her face. "I want to talk about the papers." Leeteuk said. "We are talking about that?" Sora asked. Her gaze moved away from his. "You look great in that dress." He whispered. "You mentioned that already." She said. "Oh, I did. But it's true. You're very beautiful." He leaned in and kissed her forehead. "Is that really all on your mind?" She looked to him again. "Actually, I missed you for the past few days we weren't together since we're both been busy. I wanted to let you know I haven't given up on pursuing you. I think it's adorable that you are still whinning about not getting your surprise." He chuckled. "Sure." Sora pouted. His eyes shifted to the direction of her hands. "I think it's better I get back to work." She added. "But, we haven't began talking yet." He said. "I understand. We'll talk tonight, but it seems this isn't the right time after all." She moved. She was torn between staying with Leeteuk to talk and doing her job. But if she stays, she knows it will take longer. "I really do need to go, I'm sorry." She turned to walk and looked back at him. "It's fine, duty calls. I understand. Later then." He walked towards her. Kissing her shoulder instead, he didn't want to kiss her lips to stain her lipstick. Even if he really so badly wanted to. Sora smiled brightly. "Bye." She said. "Bye." He replied, smiling in return. She walked out the door. Leeteuk watched her leave and looked to his watch, sighed. This thing still unresolved between them. But their relationship would be worked out soon enough. He'd make sure of it. It was too special. He'd looked into her beautiful eyes and felt their connection burning between them. Tonight, he was going to ask her... Sora grinned, not caring about Min Hyorin or Taeyeon, and even Yoona anymore, as she spot them among the crowd. Besides, Leeteuk wanted to talk. It's a very good thing. Sora laughed as her friends slapped her behind. "Great party." Hwayoung said. "Finally I get to show off." Susie showing them her necklace. "So many well known people here. Do I look okay?" IU asked. "You look beautiful." Sora said, giving IU's baby pink dress a look over. Boa nodded and drank her champaign... "Th
