Who is He?
Rose's POV
I look at myself in the mirror and I see another person. The dress fit perfect and I couldn't believe that I got it for a great price. My nanny, Rosa, was almost bawling when I turn to her.
"Oh, Rose, you look like a princess. I hope your 'date' will like. By the way, do you know who 'he' is?" Rosa questions me with a concern look.
Come to think of it, I don't even know who the person I'm meeting tonight is. I don't know his name, his age, or what he looks like! Please God, don't let it be an old, wrinkly guy. The only thing I know is that he is rich and hot. Like that helps mom. Thanks a lot. Anyway, I exit my room to go find my mother so I can get down to the meaning of this. I approach my parent's chamber doors and enter dramatically.
"What the hell is this, mother? Why haven't you given me anything to know the person I'm seeing? For God's sake, I don't know what he looks like or know his name. Can you give me any insight on who he is?" I finish taking a big gulp of air. My mother looks at me astonished, but composes herself.
"Well, all I know is that his name is Kai from the Kim family. They are a rich family that has many businesses that we are partnering with and he was fond of you the first time he saw your picture. He thought it would be great to meet you and see what you think." she says with a smile. "I also know that he is the same age as you and he is quite handsome. Believe me, darling."
"Well at least I'm not meeting an old man. I should meet him. What time will he be here? Do you know when?"
"I think he will be here with his parents or probably his clan at 7." she says. "Remember his clan is called EXO."
'What an odd name for a buddy group huh?' I thought while walking back to my room. I enter to see Rosa looking confused. I shook my head saying nothing is wrong and we continued finishing touches to me. I add some simple black and gold makeup before putting on my mask. I let my do it natural waves down my back. I look in the mirror and smile at my creation. 'I look hot and no one won't be able to take their eyes off me.' I giggled at my inner lady commenting. I mentally high five her.
I give Rosa a thumbs up and let her lead me to the big double doors where my parents are waiting for me already. I look at the clock and saw that it was already 7:10.
"I'm sorry that I'm late. I wasn't looking at the time." I quickly apologize to them, but their expressions didn't change from calm to anger, which is strange. "Um, why aren't you getting mad? You are usually mad when I'm late."
"How can I be mad at my only daughter that is now a lady? I just want to be happy that you became a woman and show off your abundance." said my father in a happy tone.
I smiled at my dad's answer and have him a hug. Yes, a hug to my father that usually hates my guts. His body stiffened then relax. I felt his arms wrap around my back and embraced me. I love this moment. I release him a little bit and see that he has tears brimming from his eyes.
"Daddy, please don't cry. It's going to be okay. I'm going to meet Kai for the first time and see what happens from there. And have some fun before my young life disappears." I said wiping the tears for him. He smiles and he returns the favor by kissing my forehead.
"My beautiful daughter, I want you to have the best life you can make with your own decisions, but first see how Kai is before you decide, okay?" he asks and I nod my head and he smiles. "Well then, let's get this party started."
He nods at his sideman and Bill(she calls him that) announces my parents while the doormen open the enormous double doors leading to our grand ballroom, probably filled with hundreds of people. After they enter, my father announces me.
"I know introduce our birthday girl and the host for the night, Rose," he says and I enter through the doors walking to the balcony hovering over many people I know and don't know.
I look around the room and noticed many if my friends and close relatives, such as Jonghyun and his little gang, SHINee, and many others. I scan more through the crowd and I notice one person that caught my eye. One person that was standing out from the crowd.
Wearing a light blue, khaki tailored pants, and a grey sweater with a bow tie. His hair was slick back, but had some volume like Kpop star hair. I couldn't see his full face because he was covered with a blue mask matching his attire. The one thing that made me look was his eyes. His sparkling chocolate brown eyes piercing into my soul. I turn away to only look at Rosa and motion for her to come over.
"Rosa, tell me. Who is that person in the blue coat?" I point to where I saw him and her eyes director to where I was pointing. She went from squinting to almost popping out of her head.
"My dear that is the one, Kai. The man you are meeting," she tells me and I was blown back a little.
I look back to him and I saw him smiling with a smile to hypnotizing that I Almaty tripped falling down the stairs. My mother comes to my side and pulls me toward his direction. From afar, he was conversing with a group of boys, which is his group, as my mother tapped his shoulder. He turns to us and smiles.
"Hello, Kai, you must be wondering when you were going to meet Rose. Well, here you go," she pushes me towards him and I stumble. He catches me. "You two get to know each other." After that, she disappeared in the wave of people. I turn to Kai and see him looking at me concerned.
"Are you okay? I hope you aren't hurt." his look was hurt and I felt a stab to my heart for that. He actually cares for me right now. So cute!
"Yes, I'm fine. Thanks, sorry about my mother. She becomes weird when she introduces me to new people. You will get used to it." I said nonchalant.
"Well, I guess I have to remember that. Sorry for not introducing, hi, my name is Kai and I'm guessing your Rose?" he said laughing.
"Yep, the one only and also the host for this ball, I guess. To tell you the truth, I didn't want to have a huge party like this. My parents did everything so I can just meet you." My answer made him look at me like I was one of his buddies.
"Yes, I totally agree with you. Come on, who would want to have a masquerade ball for their birthday party?" He and I laugh until our sides ache.
Throughout the night, we kept talking until my parents got everyone's attention.
"Ladies and gentleman, thank you all for coming to this masquerade. I am hoping everyone is wondering why I'd did this. Well, as of today my daughter is to be engaged to a son of a friend of mine and I held this ball as their engagement party," said my father on his banister.
Everyone around me and Kai started to mumble and look at my direction while I look at my parents with my jaw dropped. I can't believe my parents did this and why?!
