Jimin and I were sitting in the back of the jeep, planning the evening while Yu-jun drove us home. Ye-jun wanted to finish up with his business before taking the evening off, so he stayed at the house. Jimin chatted with the guys and asked them to find something formal to wear. He told everyone that we'd not be able to attend the New Years party with them, so we should treat this one as such. I asked Yu-jun if the twins had any plans but he just shrugged it off. He would always become a bit distant in Jimin's company, and I understood him completely. To the twins, Jimin seemed like a risky stranger getting entangled into our family business.
Jimin was chatting with Yoongi while I enjoyed the ride and stared out of the window. He suddenly threw his arm around my shoulder and I instantly lifted my eyes to the cars mirror. Yu-jun shot me a short glance, but I couldn't read it through. I've been getting a lot of those ever since I introduced Jimin. I think it was his way of showing worry, after all, we grew up together. As I saw them as my brothers, I believe they saw me as their sister too.
"I hear you'll be attending the gathering in Dan's place?" Yu-jun finally spoke up. How the hell does he know already? I pretended to look at him suspiciously and he laughed. "Dan called me straight after your chat. He wanted to know if you were very pissed." I raised my eyebrows in question. "Yes, Kieran, as always I told him that you're furious." Yu-jun smiled and I nodded in agreement. One thing that we had in common with Yu-jun since we were young, was the never stopping game of messing with Dan. Sometimes our games would even turn to somewhat of a bullying, and when Dan wouldn't be able to take it anymore, he'd abuse his power over Yu-jun. In that case, I'd take the lead, as Dan could never give me orders. "Yes, I'll go with Songwoon and Jimin." I finally answered his question. "I'm not too confident about this, though.. I've never been to a simple house party, much more something that looks so serious." I shared my doubts with Yu-jun, but he simply shook his head. "Kieran, you'll do great. You can do anything, don't even doubt yourself. The people there, they are all fake. They will smile and dance, but none of it will be real. So you should simply do the same, smile, laugh, dance and then forget about it completely." Something inside of me said that he was talking out of experience. I smiled at him, not really knowing what to say and he focused back to driving. I looked at Jimin and flashed him a smile, I was very excited for today's evening.
"That's it! I'm not going!" I exclaimed and plopped on Jimin's bed. He laughed at my reaction and fell on top of me, making me gasp for air. "What is the issue now, boss?" He purred into my neck, while I was trying not to suffocate. "I have..nothing to wear.. and I don't..have.. time.. to shop." I barely mumbled, and Jimin hovered his body above me for a second, giving me a chance to breathe. He placed his elbows on either side of my head and rested his face in them. He took the pendant in his hand and twirled it a bit, while I tried to keep my face still. "What do you mean? You have lots of clothes, and you look great in anything." I scrunched my nose showing my disapproval. I did have a lot of clothes, but none of them fit my feelings today. For the first time in a while I felt really happy, I was meeting my friends and all of my dresses were black. "I'll look as if I came to a funeral." I pouted. Jimin let go of my pendant, sighed and started to shower me in kisses, speaking in between. "You can wear a trash bag over your head and you'd still be the prettiest girl in the room. Now get your ass up and get dressed, or we'll be late."
I called Kaia to ask her if she'd like to go with us, but apparently she was already there with Yoongi. For a second I started to wonder if she moved her studying location to the club. I told her that we'll be there soon and hung up. I chose the most festive dress out of all, and luckily, it didn't look too bad together with the pendant. It was a short, black and scalloped cocktail dress, with a deeper cleavage that didn't really reveal anything. Yeah, because there's nothing to reveal, Mr. Kieran. Although, Jimin looked completely mesmerised by it. And I felt the same from him. He got ready in about fifteen minutes and I simply couldn't understand how he worked his magic like that. Jimin chose skinny dark pants, with a long sleeved dark red shirt. He slicked his hair back again, put on a few rings, a couple of earrings and was standing there, looking as if he just descended the catwalk. I couldn't lie, when he stood next to me in front of a mirror, I couldn't help but think that we looked incredible together.
Looking this good, however, came with a price. Winters air was blowing harshly, and Jimin and I practically ran to the club. "I really need to learn how to drive." I mumbled under my nose, Jimin laughed and nodded. "And I really need to buy a car." We both giggled and ran inside the club. We hung our coats and went straight for the upper floor with the VIP booths. As soon as we walked to the right one we heard laughs coming from it.
"Jin you're killing me oh my God!" I heard Jungkook's voice, while Namjoon mumbled something in disapproval. Jimin and I finally came in their view and all of them stood up. Getting engulfed in a group hug, Jimin and I tried to hold on to each other in order not too fall. "Can someone let me see my friend, please?" I heard Kaia's voice. The boys let us go and immediately sat Jimin down, whereas Kaia and I shared a much calmer, sweeter hug. I sat down next to Jimin, and noticed that there was a face I didn't recognise at the other end of the table. Before I could even say something, Jimin yelled out. "Taehyung! Holy damn! How are you here? I thought you had work?" Jimin stood up and hugged the boy, he showed him a boxy smile back. "Well, when Yoongi called me, I understood that I absolutely had to come today, or I'll miss you again, so I called in sick! I never take any sick leaves, so I think they trusted me." The boy turned to me and reached his hand out. "I'm Taehuyng, or V, however you prefer! Jimin and the others have told me a lot about you, it's really nice to meet you!" I took his hand and shook it with a wide smile on my face. He seemed absolutely adorable, and it was obvious that Jimin cared for him very much, as he still didn't budge from Taehyungs side.
Taehyung was incredibly handsome, as the rest of them. He had a little bit longer hair, that hung just behind his ear, dark eyes and very sharp facial features. I couldn't help but think that I've seen him somewhere, and when I asked him, the whole group fell to silence. Kaia and I looked at each other in confusion, wondering if I said something wrong. Finally, Taehyung cupped his face in his hands and blushingly admitted, that a couple of years ago he tried to model. However, the ads that he got were quite cringe, so he decided to choose another career. Apparently, this was quite a taboo topic, because, to quote Taehyung "it was the most embarrassing time of my life".
Since we haven't seen the group for quite some time, everyone was talking with everyone. The boys shared with us what they were doing in our absence, and asked us what we were up to. I had to lie about our activities again, but since this time Jimin was with me, I didn't feel as bad. The conversation was flowing, everyone had things to share. We kept ordering drinks, and I felt at such peace, with a cold drink in my hand, surrounded by such great friends. I looked at Jimin, who was still glued to Taehyung, and raised my glass. He raised his back to me, without speaking, we understood each other. This is the life we'll be returning to. We just need to wait a bit longer, and we will spend all of our days like this - happy and surrounded by our friends.
After dancing to our hearts content, and collecting all the juicy gossip about her and Yoongi, Kaia and I came back to the table. The night was coming to an end, but everyone was still having a great time. Suddenly, Kaia clapped her hands and yelled out "Let's take a group photo!" It was really fun to see her bravery come out after drinking a bit. Everyone agreed, but Taehyung asked us not to upload it anywhere, as he was supposedly ill, and if someone from his job would see this - he'd get fired immediately. We promised to keep it just for ourselves and I took my phone out. All of us smushed our bodies together and posed. I took a couple of frames to make sure that in case of a blurry one, we'd have back ups.
When Jimin and I came back home it was sometime past 4AM. We took a quick shower, or two, to be exact, and cuddled in bed. Jimin seemed to be a bit upset and I asked him what was the issue. "You are still not wearing my gift. I even bought a matching smart watch for it and I can't wear it now." He explained poutingly. I apologised, not daring to admit that the necklace escaped my mind completely. I suggested that we'd both wear the matching jewellery starting tomorrow, and Jimin seemed very pleased. After having such an incredible evening, it didn't take long for us to both fall asleep, and for the first time in a while, back in my own bed, I slept throughout the whole night without a single nightmare.
