summary: heirs au! you never thought you ever had a chance with hwang minhyun, the heir to the empire hotels and to billions of dollars, but you never knew you caught his eye either, who would have thought that a masquerade ball could make everything possible
heirs series: hwang minhyun
you’ve liked minhyun from the moment you stepped into 101 academy
the school for the elite of the elite
everyone was a heir to millions or billions of dollars
your mother was one of the best fashion designers in the world owning several high end and normal brands with your father dealing with the business side
your mum inspired your love of fashion and the aspiration to be a fashion designer
in total your family earned around 300 million dollars a year
but your family wanted to make sure you weren’t raised spoilt so you three lived like a middle class family in a 3 bedroom house, normal car, normal neighbourhood, nothing expensive and you were homeschooled
but when you got to high school you were suddenly exposed to your family’s wealth
huge mansion, fancy cars, ridiculously expensive private school, luxury everything
you got used to it after a while
but the luxury and grandeur of the school still amazed you
with a michelin star chef providing all meals and your own personal room with a bathroom and a closet
you could design the room any way you want
of course you made it into a fashion design studio
best bit was the second half of the day you get to make create and design clothes as that was your major, fashion
you can also request a personal tutor to give you advice with fashion and running a clothing business
but you still had to attend classes for the first half of the day which were really educational and suited for your fashion career
one of those classes was business with minhyun
you knew he didn’t need to attend the class or even school
he was ridiculously smart with degrees in hotel management and business from harvard
and he was in high school
he only went to school because his parents were alumni and insisted for him to go
you had absolutely no chance with minhyun
not only was he freakishly smart
they were basically royalty, the 11 of them, the most eligible bachelors around, the richest, the most handsome, all the best in their own respective fields but they were distant towards nearly everyone except for a few of them, they were the kings of school
minhyun also was one of the most sought out guys in the school
he had the nickname emperor hwang i had to use it lol
minhyun would be taking over his family business of running the empire hotels. they’re the best hotels in the world every single of them 5 stars. and there were thousands across the globe. amusingly he’s named emperor hwang because he’s the “emperor” of his empire, his company.
he was also ridiculously good looking with milky white skin and jet black hair, his gorgeous dark brown eyes with an air of elegance and distant, nonchalant attitude
but that didn’t attract you to him it was his comforting innocent nature he hid under his mask he wore to the public
for some reason you wanted to be the one to crack the mask
but that was in your dreams even if he knew of his existence
he had so many girls after him
girls prettier, richer, smarter, nicer and more talented than you
you were completely wrong though
you caught his eye the moment you walked into his business class
there was just something about you
you carried yourself not with the arrogant stuck up attitude that so many did but with a gentle kindness
there was just a sweet softness making him instantly attracted to you
not to mention the gorgeous smile of yours and how adorable you were
and anytime he sees you laugh or smiling
he couldn’t help but smile
he knew he was falling for you
but he was just plain awkward around you
like no matter how he tried he could never say more than hello
and he didn’t talk to you in front of people because people would make a big fuss and give you a hard time
he even told the other heirs about it
they teased him endlessly and gave the worst advice which wasn’t surprising since they were all single
but both of you knew there was something going on
you had absolutely no fucking clue what it was exactly
he confused you to no end
when it was just you two or little people he was super sweet even though the interactions were always short
you’d glance at each other in class and share a smile
making you feel all soft and gooey
and whenever he’d say hello to you you couldn’t help but blush
but when there were other people he’d completely ignore you?
you just tried to ignore your feelings as much as possible
by basically avoiding him
not in sight not in mind right? lol you wish
but nope the feelings did not go down one bit
though you remember one incident
the one that gave you hope
you fell asleep in the library studying for exams and when you woke up you had the school’s blazer over you
the name tag: hwang minhyun
you had the biggest internal freakout at that moment
you’d fell asleep right in front of minhyun and looked really tired and cold so he couldn’t help himself but put his jacket over you
hoping maybe when you give it back you guys could start a conversation
but the next day you were too shy to give it to him person so you left it on his deck
he was super disappointed and pouted all day
and when you mustered up your courage to talk to him the next day
you found out he left for family business and won’t be back until new year’s eve
you cursed yourself for your bad timing
but that was a few weeks ago
you revert your attention back to the stunning dress in front of you
it was for the new year’s masquerade ball that ironically minhyun’s family was hosting
the ball would be extravagant with the finest food, expensive ball gowns and a special show of fireworks
it was your first time going to ball, you’ve been to fundraisers and dinners but nothing as big scale as this
and it was a huge opportunity to boost yourself into the fashion business on your own merit not your mothers
if people liked your dress you could give out your business card which led to business opportunities and connections
your attention turned to your dress
it was your best work yet
the gorgeous scarlet colour of dress contrasted amazingly with the golden embroidery which was done all by your hand
you especially dyed your hair into a super dark jet black to complement the dress if you have a black hair imagine the darkest jet black
with 2 hours left you needed to get ready
time flied by and you realised you were going to be late
you put your converse on there was no way in hell you were wearing heels plus the dress covered your feet you made sure of it
your limo pulled you out in front of the huge hotel as you put on your gold mask
the doors were nearly closing as you entered into a huge magnificent ballroom
which you had to go down a million stairs to get to
BANG! the doors closed and everyone’s eyes were on you
you went bright red thankfully with the dim lighting nobody could tell
taking a deep breath you walked down the steps as carefully and gracefully as possible
the lighting making the gold embroidery even brighter and the dress looked amazing
you got to the bottom and everyone was still staring at you making you super self conscious
before you could even walk a step
a tall handsome stranger decked out in an incredibly expensive looking suit and a black mask covering most of his face came up to you
he reminded you of minhyun
your heart sped up hoping it was but as the mysterious stranger said in a deep rough voice to you
“would you like to dance?”
you instantly knew it wasn’t him
minhyun’s voice was soft and sweet not rough and deep
but you automatically accepted annoyed at yourself for thinking about minhyun
as you started dancing the guy said “that was quite an entrance but i’ll say as much i am impressed with the dress the converse caught my attention a bit more” ending with a chuckle
you were properly mortified “oh gosh you saw? i knew i should of made the hem longer” you said trying not to look at him in the eye
“don’t worry i only noticed because i couldn’t keep my eyes off from you” he said smoothly making you blush and you literally wanted to swoon
before you could say anything he continued
“you made the dress?” he asked impressed
“yup, i’m a budding fashion designer” you said lightly
“well after this dance i’ll introduce you to all the people you should meet then maybe i get to keep you all to myself?” he asked hopefully
you laughed making him smile sweetly at you
“we’ll see pretty boy we’ll see” you answered mischievously
“well before i introduce you to people i should know your name right?” he said
“hmmm only if you give me yours” you quip back
“but i want to stay a mystery” he said jokingly whining a little
“i want to too” you say smirking
“well how about we reveal our faces and our names a bit before 12 in the garden and then afterwards we can watch the fireworks?” he compromised
“sure why not? but why so reluctant?” you asked
“well i think you’ll treat me differently when you know who i am” he said sheepishly
you smiled sweetly “i won’t i genuinely don’t care who you are or how much money you have, you’re already great company” you say sincerely
the guy gave you a beaming smile making you get butterflies
and for once in the last few months you think you might be able to get over minhyun
unbeknownst to you the guy you were currently dancing with thought the exact same thing but about you
minhyun felt different more confident, in the mask, plus the gorgeous girl in front of him just couldn’t help but make everything so much better
like he could not fuck up this opportunity with this amazing girl
plus if something goes wrong he can just run away and pretend none of it happened my backup plan for everything
the girl he was dancing with reminded him of you
you were both super sweet and sincere not to mention gorgeous
plus both of you made his heart beat way too fast to be humanly possible with a single smile
but he didn’t think it was you because your hair was a different colour
and the dimmed lighting of the ballroom made it hard to see people’s faces
for just this one night he decided to forget how hopeless and awkward he was with girls especially you
and maybe even get over you
and try to be the gentleman that the stunning girl in front of him deserved
the type of guy you deserved
the next few hours you were introduced to so many people who loved your dress or were in the fashion industry or investors
you gave your business card to about 50 people which was amazing and so many more than you expected
of course your mystery partner didn’t get to see your name on the card
your mysterious guy also introduced you to 10 of his friends
“meet my friends” he introduced them
“hey it’s nice to meet you guys” you say friendly
“that dress is amazing who’s the designer” one of the smaller guys said in a cute non-pubescent voice
you instantly smiled “me actually”
the tallest guy said “damn really you’re ridiculously talented”
“if you make mens suits i need you to make me one WITH LOTS OF POCKETS” said another guy who had his arm around the guy with the cute voice
“i need you to be my stylist” another one who was standing extremely close to the tallest guy said jokingly
“you definitely need one dude” said one with a wicked snaggletooth
pointing at the dark purple suit the guy was wearing clashing with his blonde hair
“can we have your business card?” the smaller guy said again
“sure but you can’t show this guy over here we agreed to remain a mystery” you said with a grin while giving your partner a nudge
you handed them your business cards
mischievous smirks appeared on all their lips as they read the card
they all looked like they were going to burst out laughing
suddenly the tallest excused them and you said goodbye to all five of them
you didn’t see daehwi, jinyoung, woojin, jihoon and guanlin taking of their masks off because of how much they were all laughing in the corner of the ballroom
“so what is such a beautiful lady like yourself hanging out with my oh so awkward friend” a guy with broad shoulders said light heartedly while slinging an arm around your partner
“he’s actually quite gentleman and very charming” you quip back jokingly sassily
the guys looked shocked and stared bewildered at your partner
“ahh he finally decided to accept my old and wise wisdom” said one of the guys
“you mean old and useless” said the shortest guy
“DON’T DISRESPECT YOUR ELDER” the older guy said very motherly
the other guy raised his hands in defeat
one of the other guys came up to you and jokingly said to you
“take care of him, he’s annoyingly clean, he’ll probably be more in love with his vacuum cleaner than you and he’ll totally ditch his best friend, me. but i wish you and him the best”
you couldn’t help but laugh
“OK~, OK~, she passed, i like her she laughed at my kind of joke” he said
“please don’t encourage him” the one with the broad shoulders said with a smile that most girls would go crazy over
“i’ll try not to” you say with a smile of your own
“so when’s the wedding” the supposed elder piped in with a smirk
before you could say anything
“there will be no wedding because of me” another guy smoothly interrupted he was a definite charmer
“nah im joking” he continued light heartedly with a goofy smile
“but if he isn’t up to standard give me a call” he ended with an over exaggerated wink
does anyone have a doubt this is seongwoo
“never happening” you say teasingly
“i like her, she’s definitely a keeper” said the shortest one
and before you knew it the other 5 guys came back with their masks and all 10 of them were incredibly sweet said they hoped their friend was treating you properly
the one with the broad shoulders saying if he didn’t, to come to them and they’ll handle it
you genuinely already adored those boys already and loved spending time with them
but all of them had people to meet and duties to attend to
other than meeting people you spent the whole time with your mysterious partner
he always made sure you were comfortable and treated you like a princess
he also had the most impeccable manners
and not to mention the conversation never stopped flowing
your heart could not handle it
it fluttered, did backflips and died way too many times for you to count
you never thought it was possible to like someone this quickly
but you did and you loved every moment with him
especially dancing in his arms
the night was so much fun
all because of this one mysterious guy
you were dying to find out who he was
and before you knew it your mysterious guy was holding your hand leading you to the deserted gorgeous garden which was lit up with fairy lights
it was a few minutes before midnight
you faced each other getting ready to take the masks off
“you ready?” he asked slightly nervous
“definitely” you assured him
taking a deep breath both of you counted down “1, 2, 3″
slowly you both took of your masks revealing your faces
you felt like your heart had a heart attack as you recognised his face
you both exclaimed at the same time
you couldn’t deny it, it was minhyun
in all of his perfect handsome glory and of course at that moment he decided to do the hand through the hair thing
but why was his voice so different?
“minhyun why is your voice different?” you asked
“i have a sore throat, why the sudden hair change?” he asked in return
you groaned internally you dyed your hair of course he didn’t recognise you
“for the dress” you saw weakly
you both just stood there trying to process the whole situation
minhyun was cursing the guys for not telling him
you processed that you just interacted with THE HEIRS
and they knew who you were and approved?!!!
minhyun interrupted your thoughts by softly saying “y/n really thank you for the amazing night i haven’t had this much fun in probably years but it’s completely fine for you to go and search for other company” he ended dejectedly but politely
you were completely bewildered and asked earnestly “why would i want to do that?”
he looked a bit shocked too “because you don’t like me?”
“what do you mean i don’t like you??” you asked confused
“well you didn’t return my jacket in person and you avoid me like the plague” he answered with a touch of sadness and disappointment
you sighed in frustration and before you knew it words were spilling out of your mouth
“minhyun I LIKE YOU, i have since the moment i entered our business class, i avoided you and didn’t return the jacket personally because i knew i had no chance with you and i wanted to get over you not to mention i becoming a red blushing mess incapable of speaking”
you blush super red realising what you just said
but minhyun expression brightened like a million of city lights
he also realised how embarrassed you were
he sweetly said to you “if it helps i like you too, and it’s increased a ridiculous amount after tonight”
your head snapped up at his words “wait hold up, the emperor hwang, the one millions of girls want the attention of, the heir to the empire hotels and basically billions of dollars, likes me?” you said disbelievingly
he blushed more red than you at your compliments and he quietly said “yes y/n i like you a lot”
“i can’t believe it” you said completely shocked
he sounded sincere and you were slowly really believing it
you felt like your heart already died and went to heaven
your mind was going haywire but all of it stopped
to be honest you felt like the world stopped
as you felt a soft hand on your cheek leading you closer to him
you looked into those gorgeous brown eyes of his
his eyes flickered down to your lips and before you knew it
the softest pair of lips were on yours
and you were indulging every second of it
wrapping your arms around his neck
his hands around your waist pulling you even closer to him
you felt fireworks going off in your whole body
but you actually realised there were real fireworks going off which was the signal that it was midnight
you two parted and beamed at each other
“do you believe me now?” he asked with a bit of a smirk
“i do” you say with the biggest smile your arms still around his neck
you realised you just shared a new year’s kiss with minhyun
he came to the same conclusion as you
“happy new year’s minhyun” you said sweetly
“happy new year y/n” he whispered in your ear while hugging you making you melt into a puddle of goo
you both cuddled each other while watching the fireworks
both with the thought that this was the best start of new year either of you had
and both of you hoped to have the same start, the year after the next and for every single new year on
