The party is in full swing by the time they arrive.

The group finds out from Moonbyul that Hoseok rented out an entire mansion for this party to celebrate their last days of freedom before the term starts. It's safe to say the auburn haired fellow is pretty well off but Namjoon wouldn't have thought it from the humble interaction they had earlier today.

Yongsun, Hyejin, and Moonbyul are leading the way deeper into the grand house while Jimin and him trail behind, lightly pushing away the crowd of sweaty bodies. The house is dark, saved by the strobe and neon lights. The music is pumping through the speakers and Namjoon feels it vibrating throughout entire body.

They make it to an open area in the middle of the dance floor and the group begins to dance their worries away. 

"Freaky Friday" by Chris Brown and Lil's Dicky is blaring through the speakers. Namjoon is not really one to dance, but with the quintessential college party atmosphere coupled with the countless shots of soju now settling in his bloodstream, he left his inhibitions back at the dorm.  

He is dancing with Yongsun and Moonbyul, well mostly Yongsun of course. But his girlfriend is alternating between dancing with him and Moonbyul so the taller girl doesn't feel like a 5th wheel.

Yongsun starts to dance with Moonbyul again. He takes this time to take in his surroundings and his eyes settle on the remaining two of the group. 

Hyejin's backside is practically glued to Jimin as she grinds her body onto the blonde matching the beat of the music. She looks back at Jimin with a sultry, mischievous smile as Jimin has the biggest grin on his face.

Namjoon has the sudden urge to hold someone. And he takes Yongsun back in his arms again, savoring the feeling of her body next to his, filling a void that was suddenly created watching the other couple. Her body is warm against his. Her snow skin is a bit sticky due to the high humidity in the room. Yongsun turns herself throwing her arms around his neck.

"Joonie, not here!" She giggles close to his face. So close that he can smell the soju on her breath.

He wants to kiss her. He wants to fill that void weighing heavily in his chest. But his girlfriend then goes to dance with Moonbyul again.

Jimin notices him dancing alone. His roommate motions him over, detaching himself from Hyejin so they can all dance together. Their dance moves become silly and random. Jimin is leading, coming up with ridiculous dance moves, making Namjoon and Hyejin follow. It was almost like a competition of who can do the move better. They're all left laughing and Namjoon concludes that it's going to be a great night.

At the end of the night, however, things took a turn. They are all in a separate room away from the dance floor to take a breather. 

Well... that was true for some of them. 

On the opposite couch, Hyejin sits on Jimin's lap, lips attached together as if their lives depended on it. His hands are gripped on her hips while Hyejin's hand cradles the back of his neck, keeping the blonde close. 

There was a couple of people around, but not too many as everyone preferred to be where the action is. Yongsun and Moonbyul are playing pool and he was sat on another couch alone watching them play.

He is sober now, painfully so. The last of alcohol in his system was sweated away from their intense dance session earlier. Namjoon wishes he had gotten more drunk back at the dorms. Maybe then he wouldn't feel so lonely in a room surrounded by people. 

He tried, but not successfully, to not look at the couple next to him playing tonsil hockey. He couldn't help but feel that deep void within him grow bigger. The two had just met but were so passionate and eager for one another. He looks at his girlfriend who he adores, but was there passion? Was there the primal need to have each other right then and right now?
