Leah sat at a table some distance away, her sharp eyes trained on you and the boys as she absentmindedly sipped from a glass of water. She had been busy coordinating with her teammates all evening, her focus split between ensuring everything ran smoothly and keeping an eye on you when she could. After thhe work was adjusted to the point of execution, she managed to change into her night outfit and she really did caught the attention of the guests because of her elegance in carrying the outfit and her perfect makeup to enhance her beauty.

Now, finally taking a moment to rest, she leaned back in her chair, her gaze narrowing as she observed your sudden shift in behavior.

You, who had been tense and guarded not long ago, were now giggling and smiling like you didn't have a care in the world. Leah watched as you clung to Jungwon's arm, then switched to Niki, your laughter drawing amused but perplexed expressions from the boys. The way you teased Jake and spoke to the eldest four with that oddly playful, almost seductive tone—it was so unlike the way you had been earlier when she saw you sitting silently on the terrace.

Leah frowned, her mind racing as she tried to piece together the change. What happened between then and now? She had noticed the tension at your table earlier, particularly when the girls had approached, but this was something else entirely.

Her eyes lingered on the necklace in Sunghoon's hand, then on the matching one around his neck. The subtle but meaningful exchange between you and the eldest boys didn't escape her notice either. She could see the way their guarded expressions shifted slightly, the way they were starting to connect the dots.

Leah tapped her fingers against the table, her thoughts spiraling. Is this about the necklace? Did something happen with Winter or those girls? Or is Ella just putting on an act for the paparazzi?

But deep down, she knew it wasn't just for the cameras. There was something deliberate in your actions, something purposeful in the way you deflected the boys' questions and teased them in turn.

Her boyfriends called her name from across the room, and she waved a hand in acknowledgment, signaling that she'd join them in a moment. Still, her eyes stayed fixed on you as she mulled over the situation.

Ella... what's going on with you?

Leah exhaled softly, leaning forward with her elbows on the table as she continued to watch you. She decided she wouldn't intervene—not yet. Whatever was happening, she needed more pieces of the puzzle before stepping in. For now, she would observe, ready to act when the time came.

"Ella, we need to change our outfits for the night party which would be starting in an hour." Sunoo called out your name from around the table but you were busy glaring at Sunghoon. But, the boy was enjoying your whole attention on him.
