Not a single part of you wants to attend this dinner.
You find yourself weighing up the pros and cons of death by starvation, discovering painfully few cons in the idea.
Facing Hyunjin again will be an exercise in sheer willpower, you’re sure. How you’re supposed to look him in the eye and pretend that he didn’t take your virginity only the night before escapes you, for if your words don’t give you away, your demeanour certainly will.
The mere thought of smiling and making friendly with Elena makes your stomach whirl with anxiety, despite the fact that—if Changbin’s account of the night before is anything to go by—she’s probably just as apprehensive as you, in terrible turmoil. Albeit of a different kind.
Chan and Eve will be there too; hardly a pair you’d choose to dine with if you had any say in the matter, though you wish that was different. Whatever Chan’s reasons for his clear hatred of Imperators and by extension, your consort himself, they seem enough to put an end to any prospective friendship you might have had with the couple.
You doubt even the natural brightness that Jisung and Daphne bring to any room they’re in will be enough to overpower the awkward tension that will no doubt settle in once small talk runs its course.
Perhaps there’s too much to be said for him.
