"Merry Christmas" All of them shouted making Taehyung and Y/N squirm in their sleep.
In less than five minutes they were pulled out of the room and were dragged in the living room trying to figure out of the things in their surrounding.

"Mwo.........!" they both whinnied and others snickered at the sleepy duo.

"Merry Christmas sleepyheads!" All of them shouted making the both of them jump in in surprise.

Y/N finally opened her eyes and found Seokjin fixing Namjoon's shirt.

"You two look like a cute couple hahahaha!" she exclaimed loudly earning small snickers from the others and Seokjin's ears turned red in embarrassment.

"Noona you know Jin hyung once had a crush on Namjoonie hyung!" Jungkook butted in and Namjoon and Seokjin's cheeks were now covered with a deep shade of red."

All of them widened their eyes as Jin murmured some curses coherently slowly taking out the slippers off his feet. As soon as the maknae realized that he ran off followed by a flustered Jin and Namjoon launched himself behind Y/N as she also fled off around the condo.
Rest of them were laughing at the Tom and Jerry chase. It's not some sight you can see everyday.

After almost 20 minutes, everyone sat down in living room but Jin still didn't let go of Jungkook and kept him holding in a headlock and kept spanking his buttcheeks.

"The cake is here!" Yoongi exclaimed entering the room with a small but beautiful can in his hands making Jin let go of the youngest.

"You made it!" Y/N spoke looking surprised at the cake infront of them.

"Yoongi hyung is the best at baking!" Hoseok beamed clinging onto Yoongi's arms and winked.
"Okay gifts time! " Vmin spoke in unison earning chuckles from the rest.
The morning went by with a warm breakfast and bunches of gifts.
After Namjoon gave her his own gift, he whispered in her ear "Mom, dad and I wish to see you in this one tonight. Please Noona."

Y/N felt the sincerity in his voice. She ruffled his hairs and gave him an assuring smile as the others kept playing and eating around the Christmas tree.

"Young mistress, please hurry up!
Or you will be late......." Her chauffeur
Ben was at her place to pick her up.

"Uncle Ben please.........." Y/N sighed for the 29th time making Ben worry.
"I don't feel good. What if I mess up for good! Father... h-he will definitely be a-angry. I-I..."

Ben knelt down infront of her and took her hands in his and said "Look at me in the eyes young mistress." His voice was calm yet demanding.
She met his eyes. He again spoke in the same voice.

"You are doing great as well as you've done for the past years.
This is what you've been waiting and preparing for.
This is your right as well as your responsibility.
Do you remember what Madame Isabelle used to tell you?"

"Die today to live tomorrow." She replied with a confident.

"Then shall we?" Ben smile at her.

"Yes."

The Sampson's Mansion.

All one could see was the to flash from the cameras at the entrance arena.
The whole New York city was here with it's big shot businessmen and their families from almost all around the nation.

The press was there to make sure that no one will be trying the hide their secrets from them because not many press reporters were allowed inside the party.

The Annual Christmas Ball has been nothing but a means of show off for the rich elites who loves bragging about their wealth, look down on others or sell off their children's life in the name of business collaborations.

The Sampsons were well known to every businessman in around the world. One could do nothing but admire the arrangement. Mrs Lara Sampson has been leading their business for over a decade now but no one understood the reason why she never handed over her position to her son, Runan Sampson.

The insides of the ballroom was no joke. The guests were unable to stop themselves from praising about the decoration and arrangements.

The food, the wine, the outfits, the music, lightsetc; one could see was prepared while keeping in mind about both youngsters and the elders' likings.

The Kim Brothers and their families were present along with the The Parks, Mins and The Jungs.

The seven brothers were already the centre of attention of the many people young and old. But it looked like they have known to escape from such situation.

"Yoongi hyung, why isn't noona here?
Isn't she your date?" Taehyung pouted and the rest only gave Yoongi a questioning glare.

"Namjoon-ssi...." Jin rolled his eyes hearing the voice. The maknaes left the older siblings to deal with the owner of the cheeky voice.
"Hey Claire..." Namjoon was not in the mood to entertain her but being a gentleman he is, still played along.
Yoongi snorted and excused himself and turned around only to find his date walking in holding Jimin by his arms and Taehyung wrapping his left hand around her waist.

The hyung line actually lost their voices.
"Beautiful~" they all spoke at once making Claire squinted her eyes in anger.
Her supposed date barely talked to her, let alone to notice the effort she put in for Namjoon to get his attention which definitely wasn't a success .
But here he's praising some other girl infront of her.

"Noona, forget Yoongi hyung and be my date." Hoseok spoke pulling everyone out of their respective thoughts.

The others giggled and Yoongi quickly rushed and pushed Jimin aside taking Y/N's hand in his.

"No need!" He scrunched his nose and stuck out his tongue at Hoseok.

"You guys are looking so handsome, especially my babies!" Y/N said making the maknaes squel in happiness, especially Taehyung. They others were used to her partial adoration for the maknaes.

"Told ya~~" Taehyung sang making everyone giggle in response.

"Alright alright, we get it" Jimin smiled and said "Noona needs to greet the elders. Let's get going!"
The boys had to pose for a picture because the cameraman wouldn't let them pass.

They all left to greet the elders and Claire clinged into Namjoon's arm.
He didn't want to be rude so he let her be.
They all met the elders and Mrs Kim was beyond happy to see her in the very outfit. She squeled "Yeobo look at her! I told you it's a perfect fit for my love. She looks so pretty. Love, you look gorgeous!" She simpered over YN.

"Aunt Kim, thank you so much for the dress. I really love it. Thank you dad and Joon you too. But still I'm no match for you." Y/N thanked the Kim family making Claire frown at Namjoon.
"Namjoon-ssi, what does she mean by that dress?"

Namjoon's posture stiffened at her query. But before he could speak, Seokjin scoffed dramatically at her and said in a low voice "Awe, you didn't know? Uri Samchon and Imu gifted that dress to Y/N as a Christmas present."
Claire squinted her eyes at Namjoon, and then Y/N and her friends who were greetings the other elders at a little distance. She walked to Y/N and was about to call her but was cut off by Mrs Lara Sampson.

"Hi honey! You're looking beautiful. But you're little late." The elder softly chastised her.

"Grandma! Merry Christmas." Y/N exclaimed happily and hugged her tight earning chuckles from the other elders.
Claire's eyes widened in realisation.
She knew who Madam Sampson is but didn't think Y/N was the child of the Sampsons. No one had ever seen the heiress till now. She didn't think that someone so shabby and simple looking person would be the part of someone bigshot rich elites.

"Can I go now!" Y/N wishpered to her grandmother getting bored with their business talks.

"No way dear! You need to introduce yourselves to our precious guests." Grandma replied with a small smile.

Just then a couple walked to them followed by an enraged Claire.
"Louis McTaggart! Glad you came tonight. And who is the pretty young lady with you?" Mrs Sampson spoke lovingly.

"Madam Sampson, it's an honour to be your guest tonight. This is my sweet wife Roseanne and my dear daughter Claire" Mr McTaggart replied humbly.
Claire gave her a forced smile.

"Why don't you young ladies go ahead and try to get to know each other?" Mrs McTaggart said to Y/N and Claire.

"She's right honey. Go and introduce her to your friends!" Madam Sampson said excitingly.

Y/N hesitated for a few seconds but didn't oppose her grandma. "Sure, I'll introduce her to Aunt Kim and the rest..."

As they walked away from the elders Claire spoke out of blue "Cut the crap. You could've just told them that you guys already know me!"

"No we don't! Only Joon does." Y/N spoke without batting an eye at her.
"And what would you like me to tell them? That you got slapped for hurting my baby brother!"

They both met with the other elders as Y/N introduced her with the rest of Namjoon's relatives.
She spotted Yoongi's mother and hugged her greeting politely
"Mrs Min! I'm very happy to see you here!"

"Waah! I heard you call my brother Appa but at the same time you make me feel old! I'm very angry!" Mrs Min faked an angry look.

"Yet you still manage to look beautiful Aunt Min!"

"Now we're really talking!" Mrs Min squealed happily.
'Is she bipolar or something?'
Claire thought. She was about to speak something but all of them were interrupted by the voice echoing through the mic.

They all turned to the direction of the sound and found Mr Sampson and Madam Sampson in the centre of the ball room.

"Greetings Ladies and gentlemen! I, Runan Sampson, welcomes you all to the annual Christmas Ball. It's a great pleasure to have you at my humble abode. I shall raise a toast in the honour of every person present in here!"
The man raised his glass of champagne in the air and the guests followed his suite.
"Tonight is a very special day for me and my lovely family.
Our precious little daughter is soon going to step into our family business officially. So I want her to join the stage and introduce herself." Mr Sampson announced with a small smile on his face.

Y/N saw Yoongi putting out his right hand infront of her to hold on. She looked at Mr and Mrs Kim and saw them giving a small nod of assurance.
She took Yoongi's hand and followed him to the middle of the room.

Yoongi bowed at the elders and Y/N gave her father a small kiss on his cheek.

She took the mic and took a sharp breath and spoke "Merry Christmas everyone! It's an honour to be able to get to see you all. I'm Y/N Sampson and as my father already told you, I'll soon be joining the company after my MBA.

Hope you all are warm and enjoying.
To be honest,I'm not really a big fan of cold. I'm just hoping you all are enjoying the night. Thank you"
She almost ran off the stage. She actually tripped over her gown but Yoongi saved the night.

Claire was beyond pissed. For almost 30 minutes she just kept noticing Y/N involving with the elders and dodging the every person who asked her join them for some drinks or chats.
When she finally spotted Y/N and Raven alone, she blocked their way to give them a little piece of mind.

"What do you think you are trying to prove Y/N?" She finally busted out.
Raven scoffed at her and said
"And you really dared to talk to her like that?"

"You stay out of this you disgusting faggot" Claire replied with disgust in her voice. "I clearly saw what you are trying to make Mrs Kim do. You are just jelous that Namjoon-ssi is dating me and not you!"

Raven lost his voice hearing something like that. "And who do you think you are to insult our friend?" Seokjin's voice scared her as he popped out of nowhere.

Ravens eyes glistened with tears as he stared at Jin stunned. He didn't want to believe that it's the same man who tried to beat him up for hugging his ex fiancée.

"Be in your limit or else my lovely brother will not take long to throw you out of his life." Jin spoke angrily.
"Let's go my ladies!" He spoke to Y/N and Raven with a playful wink.
Raven's face heated up in response.
"Kinky bastard' Y/N chuckled mumbling to Raven.

"What do you think makes you right, Ms Sampson?" Claire gritted her teeth in irritation.

"Being right makes me right" Y/N replied with a little smile and left followed her friends who were busy munching snacks and drinks.
