The day for the ball had finally arrived. Nervousness formed within Soohyun as she recalled about her plan, and it seemed that Minhyun decided to go along with it, finding it helpful.

That gave Soohyun a sense of accomplishment.

Over this period of time, she gained knowledge on chemical research after being loaded with information from Minhyun and reading countless of books handed over to her by him. 

Not only that, her training lessons with Kim Soobin had been increased by three more hours, and it seemed that he was dead serious about the entire matter.

Hw.a.n.g Yejoon managed to create a fake ident.i.ty for her with the name, Lee Soohyun, and he found a perfect time to let her slip into their headquarters.

Stepping into the ballroom before her, Soohyun stared at the place before her. An aristocratic air was present within the room, and the usual quiet palace was filled with noise.

Seeing the aura around those person, Soohyun felt as if she stuck out the most. Their elegance was something perfected by them from their childhood, and this made her feel like an outsider.

However, that was not enough to ruin her room. Holding Minhyun"s hand, she stepped further into the room and swept her eyes across the crowd before her, trying to spot familiar faces.

Hw.a.n.g Miyeon noticed her presence in that moment, and as Soohyun"s eyes fell on her, she saw the wide smile Miyeon directed at her in that moment.

The energetic Miyeon walked gracefully at Soohyun, and seeing this side of her was a surprise to Soohyun; it made her feel like as of Miyeon was a lady.

"Jiwoo, you are here," she said excitedly.

Soohyun nodded her head.

Holding her other hand, Miyeon pulled her away from Minhyun, and hugging her arm, Miyeon looked towards Minhyun.

Then, she stated, "Minhyun Oppa, I will be borrowing Jiwoo Unnie. You can exchange formalities with them; I am sure that Unnie would not be liking that."

Hw.a.n.g Miyeon was right. Standing quietly beside Minhyun while he greeted the other guests was indeed something she took to be too boring for her taste.

"Don"t create any trouble," he voiced out as a stoic expression settled on top of his face.

"Ais.h.!.+ Oppa, you always say the same sentence to Unnie and me. Don"t create any trouble. When did we even create trouble in the first place?" Miyeon stated.

Minhyun let out a sigh, and staring at Soohyun, he vocalised, "Take care."

Hearing those words from Minhyun caused a chill to go down her back, and she was well aware that he was warning her with those words of his.

Before she could muster up a response to him, her hand was pulled by Miyeon, and she followed behind her while hoping that everything will go perfectly fine tonight.

"What are you thinking about, Unnie? You seem quite occupied," Miyeon spoke out as the two of them stopped in their steps.

"I am just nervous I suppose. This is, after all, the first time I have been to such a ball," Soohyun lied.

The ball did not intimidate her. Nevertheless, leaking out the plans for tonight to Miyeon was not something she could afford to do.

"Ah! Don"t worry! You will get used to it. These b.a.l.l.s used to be embarra.s.sing for me back when I was a kid. Countless number of times I have tripped on my dress, and everyone laughed at it. 

I even hated such b.a.l.l.s at times, but now, I have grown past such a complex. Now, these parties make me happy! Guess why?" Miyeon enthusiastically stated.

"No idea. I was never the one to like b.a.l.l.s or parties. They are too boring and stiff for my taste. Maintaining a proper and elegant public image is difficult," Soohyun vocalised.

Miyeon chuckled and said, "That"s true! But all the hot guys here makes it worth it. Normally, you would not be able to see so many hot guys together at one place. But at such b.a.l.l.s, it is indeed a feast for one"s eyes."

"Hot guys? She is a Hw.a.n.g after all. The idea of that doesn"t sound bad at all. Doesn"t Minhyun like me? What if I try to make him jealous? Lee Soohyun, you are a genius. Let"s see that jealous face on him. If he doesn"t have that, that means his feelings for me aren"t that deep."

"Really? That boosts up my spirit. Introduce some of those hot guys to me as well," Soohyun vocalised as a wide smile formed on her.

"Jiwoo Unnie, are you forgetting that you are married and have a fated one? You can"t go after them. What will Oppa think?" Miyeon voiced out as creases appeared between her eyebrows.

"What is wrong with opening a harem? I will love him, and I love other hot guys as well. I have lots of love within myself. Sticking to one person is too boring. Don"t you agree with me on that?" Soohyun spoke out.

As Miyeon pursed both of her lips together, it seemed to be that she was in a deep thought before she raised her head and voiced out, "You are right, Jiwoo Unnie! One person, especially when it is Minhyun Oppa, is too boring! Don"t worry; I will be introducing you to them."

Soohyun was aware of how Miyeon knew that this was merely for fun and was just playing along. Nonetheless, the thought of going along with this gave her a rush of adrenaline.

"Good luck to both of us," Soohyun vocalised.

"Follow me, Jiwoo Unnie. I already spotted our first target," Miyeon stated.

Then, subtly pointing at two male, she said, "Do you see those two male over there? They are our targets. I have been eyeing the both of them for over a month, but I am unable to get a hand on them."

"That"s sad. Since they are the target, I will teach you how to get them. You don"t need to be worried. I am all prepared," Soohyun vocalised as a glint appeared in her eyes.
