MC took a deep breathe as she smoothed out her dress for what felt like the hundredth time since she'd put it on. It was a beautiful shade of red and she'd found the perfect color lipstick to match it. She couldn't believe she was going to meet all the RFA members, and Yoosung, she felt like she was going to pass out.

She took a deep breathe and walked to the entrance with fake confidence. She was greeted by Jaehee who gave her a soft smile, "Excuse me, Miss. Are you on the guest list?"

"Oh! Umm I hope so," MC laughed awkwardly, "I'm MC"

"O-oh! MC! I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize you" Jaehee shifted awkwardly and looked down, clearly uncomfortable.

MC laughed again, "How could you have?" She smiled warmly, "it's nice to finally meet you, Jaehee."

"It's nice to meet you too, MC" Jaehee smiled, "the parties right in there if you'd like to go meet everyone" she offered, gesturing towards the door."

"I suppose I should," MC said taking another deep breath, "wish me luck."

"Good luck, MC" Jaehee answered as she walked through the doors.

The venue was beautiful. It looked extravagant and expensive, most likely Jumin's doing. It was very tasteful decorated, she would have to compliment Jaehee on her work later. MC wondered around aimlessly, smiling politely as guests came up and introduced themselves to her. It was definitely a rather strange guest list.

While talking to a guest she noticed a handsome man with long silver hair standing not many feet away. She waited for an appropriate time to excuse herself from the conversation and walked up to the man slowly.

"Zen?" she asked hesitantly. He turned to face her and she recognized him instantly. "I'm MC," she clarified quickly, not wanting a repeat of the Jaehee situation.

"MC! Its so nice to finally meet you," he exclaimed taking her hand in his and bowing down to kiss it lightly. "You're even more beautiful than I imagined"

MC couldn't help but laugh, "Are you saying you imagined me, Zen?" She attempted to pull her hand back but he held it tighter and lifted it above head, spinning her around slowly.

"Maybe, I've been known to fantasize about beautiful women," he winked making her blush and pull her hand away so she could smack his chest lightly.

"Are you always this much of a flirt?" MC teased, narrowing her eyes at him playfully.

"Only around you, pretty lady," he whispered as he wrapped his arm around her waist and began to pull her through the crowd. "Come on, I want to introduce you to the others. Assuming you haven't met them yet?"

MC shook her head. "Only Jaehee," she answered, letting him lead her across the room

.

Zen's eyes scanned the crowd, until he found Jumin and Jaehee talking together. "There they are" he muttered as he began walking towards them, his arm still wrapped around MC.

"Look who I found!" Zen called, looking proud as they walked up to them.

MC stepped out of Zen's grasp and gave a small awkward wave. "Hello," she said shyly, making Jaehee smile.

"MC I presume?" Jumin asked, holding out his hand.

"Yes, sir" she smiled and shook his hand. The handshake was firm and quick, MC was slightly taken aback by is formality and deciding to match it. He didn't seem amused. She noticed Jaehee place her hand over her mouth to hide her smile, at least she was enjoying this.

"The party is beautiful," MC commented, attempted to break the silence.

"Assistant Kang is largely responsible for that," Jumin answered, " Though you did a fair job on the guest list, MC."

MC smiled at the compliment, "Thank you. Honestly it's nice just being able to relax and get out of the apartment after this week."

"I wanted to ask you about that," Jaehee said, turning towards MC, "how has it been staying in Rika's apartment? I imagine the sudden transition must have been difficult"

"Yeah, what did you do before you were lured to the apartment? You never did tell us?" Zen asked.

"Oh! Well-" before MC could explain further she was cut off by a man with messy orange hair and glasses running across the room and jumping on front of her with his arms out.

"Privacy protection!" he almost yelled, standing in front of her as if he was attempting to protect her from the other RFA members. After a moment he told up straight and turned to MC, holding out his hand and smiling warmly. "I'm Seven by the way, nice to meet you MC," he introduced himself.

MC shook his hand, smilingly tightly to suppress a laugh. "You're the notorious 707? I would have never guessed!"

Seven grinned, looking proud of himself and held out his hand to her, "Care to dance?"

"Me? Umm sure! Yeah!" MC stuttered as she placed her hand in his. Seven's grin widened at her response and pulled her away from the other RFA. She placed her free hand lightly on his shoulder and he placed his on her hip. He held her close enough that he could lead but not so close that they were touching.

"So are you enjoying your party, Miss MC?" he asked playfully.

"I am, very much so. Thank you for asking," she giggles in reply. "Are you? You must still be tired from…" she trailed off as she felt his body stiffen for a moment.

"I am," he replied, relaxing again and spinning her around. He looked down at her with a much more serious expression than before, "I'm sorry to put you in danger MC. I feel horrible that you had to go through that. And Yoosung…"

"Hey," she cut him off, moving her hand from his shoulder to his cheek. "You have nothing to apologize for. You told me you'd protect me with your life and you did, I will forever be grateful for you."

Seven smiled sadly as he looked into her eyes. "Yeah well…Yoosung would've killed me if I let anything happened to you"

MC giggled again and moved her hand back to his shoulder. "But you didn't, it's all over now, right? And no one got hurt."

Seven quickly looked away and his smile vanished. But it was only for a second before he made eye contact again. "As much as I love dancing with you I think I've kept you for myself for too long. I should pass you off to the trust fund kid," he smiled before spinning her off into another direction and letting her hand go.

Before she knew what happening she felt herself smash against something hard, she looked up to see Jumin smirking. She took a step back and removed her hands from his chest, refusing to make eye contact with him and mentally cursing Seven who she could hear laughing in the background.

"MC, are you alright?"Jumin asked, still smiling smugly as he held his hand out to her.

"Umm yes, I'm so sorry about that, I was dancing with Seven and he-"

"You're fine, MC," he laughed grabbing one of her hands and pulling her into a similar position that she was in with Seven. He began to lead her around the dance floor but she struggled to keep him. He moved much too quickly and she's had little experience with dancing. "You really can't dance, can you?" Jumin chuckled.

MC felt herself blush as she looked down at their feet. "Well excuse me, not all of us are taught ballroom dancing from the age of three…" she muttered, feeling embarrassed.

Jumin simply chuckled again and grabbed her waist and lifting her quickly and setting her down so she was balancing on his feet.

"Im going to mess up your shoes," she protested as he took one of her hands in his again and wrapped his arm securely around her waist so she was pressed against him.

"It's fine, you'd mess them up by stepping on them anyway," he replied, earning himself a glare. "Are you uncomfortable?"

MC shook her head. She wasn't though she probably should've been considering how close she was to someone she'd met not an hour ago.

"Good," he said, making her feel like she didn't really have a choice either way. He lead her around the dance floor with complicated footwork and elegant twirls, holding her tightly so she wouldn't fall. "You really did do well with the guest lists," he complimented.

"You sound surprised, Mr. Han?" MC teased.

"I am," he replied blatantly, "and please stop calling me Mr. Han. You sound like my assistant."

MC smiled, choosing to ignore his offensive remark, "I told you, it's my dream to be an assistant."

"Are you trying to be playful? You're too much like Seven, no wonder Yoosung likes you," he muttered under his breath.

MC opened her mouth to thank him for the compliment but was cut off by Zen tapping Jumin on the shoulder.

"May I steal her?" Zen asking, sending a wink to MC.

"From me, yes" Jumin responded, grabbing her waist again and lifting her off of him, placing her lightly on her feet before walking away.

"I don't think he likes me very much," MC whispered, taking Zen's hand.

Zen laughed placing her free hand on his chest before pressing his and again the small of her back. "Don't take it to personally, he doesn't like anyone," he whispered playfully and pulled her against him.

MC laughed and tried to follow his movements, his dancing wasn't quite as complicated as Jumin's, but he was still more difficult for her to follow then Seven. She wondered if Seven couldn't dance or if he kept it simple for her benefit, probably the latter.

"Sorry, I'm not very good at dancing," MC admitted, feeling herself begin to blush.

"You're doing fine," Zen laughed, "I can teach you if you'd like though?"

"Please," she accepted his offer without hesitation. He chuckled, his laugh was much more gentle than Jumin's.

"Okay," he stopped, standing directly in font of her. "Step forward with your right foot, good. Now step out with your left foot, now step back, step towards me. There you go" She followed his instructions, the movements slowly becoming more natural. "Just relax and pay attention to my body. Follow my lead, if I step back, step you forward, got it?"

MC nodded, staring down at their feet. "One more thing," he whispered, placing his hand under her chin and lifting it gently till she made eye contact with him, "don't look at your feet, look at me."

"Sorry," MC blushed, making Zen laugh lightly as he began leading them again. After a few minutes, she got the hang of it and they were dancing mostly in unison. MC smiled, feeling slightly proud of herself.

"You got it," Zen smiled before leaning down to whisper in her ear, "I think someone's looking for you"

She stepped away and looked around, finding Yoosung and making eye contact for a brief second before he turned away and got lost in the crowd.

"Where's he going?" she mumbled feeling confused, "and why does he have bandages on his face?"

"Welcome everyone to RFA's party"

MC looked up at the stage, seeing a man with mint green hair and sun glasses on talking to the guests.

"That's V," Zen whispered in her ear.

She listened to his speech, feeling worried about Yoosung. She wanted to know he was okay. A small wave of relief washed over her as he walked on stage. She let out a small gasp upon seeing the bandages cover his eye.

He looked very handsome, and she blushed profusely when he called her cute in front of the entire party. She felt her heart race as he talked about how he'd fallen for her, he was so sweet, confessing his love in front of everyone.

"MC just stay right there," Yoosung smiled as he got off the stage and started walking towards her. She covered her face with her hands to hide how much she was blushing as he walked up to her and told her how excited he was to see her.

"Yoosung… aren't you getting too close?" she heard Zen say as Yoosung grabbed her hands and gently pulled them away from her face. Before she knew what was happening Yoosung leaned down and kissed her, making her melt against him.
