Sunggyu POV

        I froze when she looked me in the eyes. I can't believe that someone like her actually kissed me. Then she turned and started walking away. SHIT! I can't let her go! I reached out and managed to grab her hand before she was too far away.

        She turned to face me and I quickly asked "Who are you?"

        She leaned forward again and whispered in my ear "My name is Latizia." Then kissed me on the cheek again. I was so dazed that I didn't even realize that I had let go of her arm and she had walked away.

        I quickly followed after her and managed to grab her by the wrist. I pulled her towards me and unconsciously began to kiss her. As we parted from the kiss, I said "My name is Sunggyu. Would you be my Bell of the Ball?"

        I think she was just as surprised as I was because the next thing I know, there is a guy in front of me grabbing me by the collar and screaming at me "What do you think you are doing?"

        I had no answer for him. All I could think of was Latizia and the tenderness of her lips. Then I was surprised when she came and stood between the guy and me. Was she defending me?

        "Why are you defending him?" The guy screamed at her.

        "It was just a kiss!" she screamed back at him. "It's not the end of the world!"

        She was right; it wasn't the end of the world, but why was my heart is aching? Why did she have to put it that way? I tired to shake it off and come back to my senses. Then I grabbed her hand again. "Please" I begged "Will you be My Bell of the Ball?"

        "Oh my!" The other girl with her squealed. "What are you waiting for?" she pressed. "Answer him!"

        "But I don't even know what is going on!"

        "He asked you to be his Bell. That means he is one of the Secret Beaus that are in the crowd" she beamed with excitement. "Just say yes!"

        She looked me in the eyes and I think we both started to blush. "I'd be honored to be your Bell" she replied.

        I couldn't contain how happy I was, so I hugged her probably a little too tightly and said "Thank you! Let's go!"

        I turned and started to pull her along. Then I heard her ask "Where?"

        "We have to get to the main stage"  I replied as I pushed my way through the crowd.

        I don't know why, but I was very happy that she was the one that kissed me. As we were making our way through the crowd, I felt her hand grip tighter and I couldn't help but smile. We picked up our pace to the main stage and then the unthinkable happened; we ran into someone.

        Latizia and the girl she bumped into both fell to the ground. I turned around and saw her getting up, so I was a little relieved that she wasn't hurt. Then I saw who she bumped into and became nervous. Out of all the people at the Masquerade, why did we have to run into the Fashion Sisters?

        Latizia tried to help her up, but she refused. Figures that she would act like that. Then they started talking, but I couldn't hear what they were saying because I was a little too far away. Suddenly, the Fashion Sister slapped Latizia across the face "JUST A DRESS!" she screamed at her. "This is not JUST a dress! This is a one of a kind Giorgio Armani! Now thanks to you, I won't be chosen as a Bell of the Ball!"

        I took a cautious step forward debating whether or not I should step in, but then I heard Latizia laugh.  "Please" she scoffed at her. "You weren't going to be chosen as a Bell even if your dress was in perfect condition." My eyes widened as I listened to Latizia reprimand her. "Do you want to know why?" She chuckled a little more before she seriously said "Because nobody wants a Spoiled...... Selfish....... Bitch like you as their Bell."

        Holy Shit! Did she really just say that to her?

        The Fashion Sister raised her hand and was about to slap Latizia again, but was unable to because Latizia had block it with her own hand.  "I don't think so. I'm not one to get hit twice" Latizia said as she pushed her hand away. Then she turned, walked towards me and said "Let's go."

        I smiled as I took her hand and said "Yeah." Then we began running towards the main stage once more.

        We were the last couple to arrive at the main stage. "Figures" I mumbled to myself as we approached the stage.

        "What's the matter?"

        I looked at her and smiled. She really is an amazing woman. Is this what they call love at first sight? I felt like I could tell her anything, so I did. "The other guys always make fun of me" I gestured to the stage and she looked up at them.

        "So?" she replied nonchalantly.

        I chuckled at how calm she was. She really knows how to make me relax. "I just figure that since we are the last couple to arrive, they are going to make fun of me again."

        "Who cares! Why should that bother you?" She gripped my hand tighter and smiled. "After all you have me by your side now" she whispered in my ear and my heart started to beat faster.

        The MC spotted us approaching the stage and started getting the crowd excited. "It looks like our final Beau has found his Bell" he gestured towards us and the crowd cheered and parted as we approached to make a path for us.

        We tried to catch our breaths before we quickly climbed the stairs. As we passed the other guys, I noticed that they were surprised. Then I heard them whispering to one another.

        "Where did he find her?" Woohyun asked.

        "I bet he called a ringer in" Sungyeol said.

        "Why couldn't I find someone like her?" Myungsoo pouted.

        The MC had stepped off to the side to speak with the producer before he introduced us. As he was walking back, he looked up from his note cards and then stumbled and fell onto the stage. The crowd started laughing at him thinking it was just part of the show, but Latizia was genuinely concerned for him and went over to help him up.

        "Are you okay?" she asked as she held out her hand.

        He took her hand and pulled her down onto the stage with him, causing the crowd to laugh some more. I have to admit, I was a little jealous, but I tried to hold back. After all, this was just a game.

        "Why don't we have our little interview right here?" the MC asked her and she giggled and nodded as she made herself comfortable on the stage.

        I took my place in line with the other guys and I saw that the other girls were silently laughing at Latizia for agreeing to sit on the stage. Honestly, I thought it was awesome. She was showing how down to earth she was and proving that she didn't care about appearances. In my opinion, I was even happier that she was my Bell.

        As soon as I found my place in line, the other guys started in on me. "Ya! Where did you find her?" Woohyun asked.

        "In my designated area" I replied with a smile.

        "Bull!" Dongwoo commented.

        "She has to be a ringer!" Sungyeol said. "Admit it! You called in a ringer, didn't you?"

        "No Sungyeol, she's not a ringer" I sighed.

        "How come I couldn't find someone like her?" Myungsoo was still pouting.

        "I have to admit" Hoya looked at her and smiled "she really does have something that draws you in."

        "Hyung, who is she?" Sungjong asked.

        I blushed "She's my Bell."
