"Do you have the list ready?" You asked Jaehee as you passed by with the last floral arrangement that was placed in the wrong room.

"Yes!" Jaehee moved the podium to the main entrance and settled her things down.

"Time?!" You called out from the other side of the large room, hearing your voice echo.

"8:43 pm!" It was Yoosung who answered this time.

"Where the hell is Jumin?! The reunions gonna start in seventeen minutes!" You noticed Zen was walking out of the men's room, fixing his tie. "Zen! Are you ready?" You asked as you jogged over to him, making your favorite color dress sway with every step.

"Yes I am, but maybe you should take a minute to re-fix your hair." He looked at you with a small chuckle.

"I don't have time to-!"

"Don't worry, I'll help you out." Min came to the rescue and started pushing you towards the ladies room since she knew you would try to get out of it.

You stood in front of the mirror as Min undid the supposed 'messy bun' you made yourself. "Thanks Min, I really needed some help with...this." You gestured towards your hair. She let out a small laugh as she got to work.

"No worries, I've gotten used to doing hair since I sometimes didn't have anyone to help me out when I would have my ice skating competitions." You were amazed at how quickly and efficiently she managed to fix up your hair better than you could have ever imagined.

"This is amazing! Thank you Min!" You surprised her by giving her a hug and then rushed back out knowing that you had less time to get the finishing touches done.

When you burst through the doors--careful not ruin what Min did--you scanned the room for what was left.

"Babe, chill, everything's turning out great!" Suddenly hearing his voice made you jump slightly but since you were in heels you ended up tripping. You were about to hit the ground but just as always, Saeyoung was there to catch you. "Look at you, still falling for me I see?" He joked. You couldn't help but smile and playfully slap his arm.

He helped you back on your feet and you adjusted your outfit. You were happy to see Jumin had finally arrived and things were falling into place.

"Alright, Zen you ready?" You clicked your earpiece to make sure it was up and running and thankfully you got his response.

"Ready when you are, my lady."

"Great, what about you, Jaehee?" You asked also though the earpiece.

"Everythings fine on my end, the first guest from the company in Dubai is arriving, the one from Peru right behind, I can see their limos." She informed.

"Alright," You contacted the head of the kitchen and told them to start sending out some waiters to hand out drinks. "Zen, go with Jaehee for the time being until there are about twenty guests, then you should head inside to mingle."

"Roger that." You could see him walking over to Jaehee, following your orders. You sighed in relief when the guests started pooling in. Jumin walked over to you and placed a hand on your shoulder.

"You did splendidly." He complimented with a soft smile. "Everything will turn out great, I just know it." You felt good hearing that, you were pretty occupied with every detail, not wanting anything to ruin it. You knew that was impossible to have a perfect evening because there will always be something small that you can't control but you tried your best to make sure everyone had a good time.

You watched as everyone kept coming in, "Min can you get the rest of the appetizers out." You asked through the communicator.

"Sure thing!" You could see from afar she was heading back to the kitchen.

Seeing how the evening unfolded, it was calm and without any major problems. You greeted the guests along with Jumin and they told you about the new projects and ideas they had in mind and you had your leather notepad ready to jot down any necessary notes.

"Is everyone enjoying themselves?" You turned to see Zen up on the stage, mic at hand. You looked at your watch and he was right on time to begin his speech. It was short and to the point, you could tell that the representatives were a bit skeptical at first seeing him speak since the recent scandal he was a part of but with his charisma and persuasive words that could get anyone to listen he won them over, especially the women you might add.

"This event was all thanks to of course Jumin Han and his lovely assistant Y/n L/n." He gestured towards you both and suddenly everyone was looking at you two. You smiled politely and gave small waves until Zen brought back their attention. "Well, let's all continue enjoying this wonderful evening." That's when the waiters came back out with champagne glasses galore. Once Zen could see that the grand majority already had a cup at hand he got one as well.

"To C&R!" He lifted his glass along with everyone else. Everyone clapped and took a sip of their drinks and soon enough everyone was back to conversing with each other.

You let go of a breath you hadn't even noticed you were holding since the speech started and started to look around.

Where's Saeyoung?

You looked around and couldn't see him anywhere. "Hey, Jaehee have you seen Saeyoung?" You asked through the earpiece as you started wandering around.

"I think he said he was getting fresh air?" She sounded unsure. You decided to head out but before that, you got your coat from the coat room since you knew it was already winter and it was pretty cold outside.

You tugged it on and headed out, the freezing air practically slapping you in the face. You looked around for Saeyoung but suddenly heard the door open again, probably a guest leaving.

"You're coat is beautiful." A woman said suddenly. You turned to look in their direction to thank them. It was pretty chilly outside, but that wasn't the thing that made your blood run cold. "Are you alright?" She asked. You couldn't speak since your voice was caught in your throat. "You're a lot more surprised to see me than I expected." You're breathing was shallow but you could still see the puff of smoke form.

"What are you doing here, Rika?" You choked out.

"I just finally wanted to see you in person. And if I were you I would try to act more casually, don't want people getting suspicious, now do we?" She asked politely although you could see the hidden message in her eyes that screamed, 'keep your mouth shut'.

"So, why did you come for me now?" You asked turning away from her and rubbing your hands together for warmth.

"How's your brother doing?" She avoided your question.

"He's doing fine. No thanks to you."

"That's good to hear. You know what I love about Violins?" She asked randomly. You didn't ask but she replied anyway. "How they can be so soft and endearing and then a tune can change and the sound becomes powerful and overwhelming."

"What do you-"

"Your friend Celest seems to be too fond of the instrument as well, she doesn't complain when I play it for her." You took in a sharp breath.

"You have-!"

"Uh uh uh!" She wiggled her finger as if she were scolding a child. "Please use your inside voice, Y/n." You gritted your teeth and tried to calm your nerves.

"Why do you have Celest, are you working with Nathan?" You asked.

"Oh heavens no! I'm grateful for the help he's provided but I simply asked him to hand her over so I could finish up what I have in store." She never lost that smile on her face, not once.

"What are you planning?" You asked cautiously.

"I'm not going to spoil the surprise silly, Y/n!" She skipped over and tapped your nose with her finger. "You'll just have to wait for now, okay? May I have your number so we can keep in contact?" She rummaged around her purse and took out her phone. "I know dear Luciel would never give you my number so..." She handed it to you and you hesitantly take it in your hands.

"What If I say no?" You dared to ask. Her eyes got dark but she kept the same grin on her face.

"Would you like me to show you what I'm capable of again?" She tilted her head in question. You gulped and started putting down your number and then handed it over to her. "Great!" She saved it with your name and put it back in her bag. "Can't wait for our next visit! Although, I would have liked to stay longer now." She pouted as a child would. "Oh well, Nos simul in unum satis erit! Bye bye!" She skipped away happily while you just stood there, still processing what just happened.

It was only a few minutes later that Saeyoung walked out to see where you were.

"Y/n! Finally, where have you been? I've been looking, all...over. Are you okay?" You didn't even notice that your hands were shaking and the expression on your face screamed terrified.

"She was here. Just now." You breathed.

"She? What are you-" He stopped himself mid-sentence when he realized who you were talking about. "Are you okay? Did she do anything to you??" He started checking your arm and face for any kind of scratches or bruises.

"No, we just..." You shook your head to try and clear it and think of what was important at the moment. "Call everyone, I need to talk to them. Now."

As you walked back into the building, everything that was once beautiful and filled with joy became eerie and unearthly. The loud music, the constant chattering, seeing so many people, it was unsettling. Saeyoung had a protective hand around your waist and was basically dragging you around as he searched for the others while you tried to think things through.

What was that gibberish she said at the end? You thought as Saeyoung maneuvered you around the crowd.

Nos simul in unum satis erit, something like that... You were lucky you had a good memory, you took out your phone and opened google translate and put in detect language.

Latin?

"Hey, are you two okay?" You didn't even notice Zen was right in front of you.

"Yeah, kinda, we need to get the others and talk, now," Saeyoung spoke for you while you kept trying to think things through.

Latin-

Nos simul in unum satis erit

English-

We'll be together soon enough

That's not creepy at all... You thought sarcastically.

Before long, everyone was gathered and you were all sitting in a vacant room of the building that they had on the next floor up.

"Alright, spit it out, I'm freaking out over here." Said Zen feeling anxious.

"I just spoke to Rika." You began.

"What did she say?" Asked Yoosung.

"She started off by asking me about my brother." You looked over at Saeyoung and untied your hair only to run a hand through it in stress.

To think my brother work so hard for Luteus just to be-

You stopped for a second.

"Y/n?" Jaehee waved a hand in front of your face to get your attention.

"Luteus..." You muttered and immediately took out your phone and opened up google translate again.

Latin-

Luteus

English-

Yellow

"You've gotta be fucking KIDDING ME."
