The boy underneath the stars // H.J + L.M

Chapter 5

Hyunjin's POV

The minute we walk into the party everyone goes their own way. I see Felix wandering around and I laugh quietly, he's completely out of it, looking with wide eyes at what's happening around him.

I look around nervously, i've never been to a party before and i've got absolutely no idea what i'm supposed to do.

Maybe I should've thought better about saying yes when Seungmin invited me to the party, but my mind completely stops functioning whenever i'm around that boy. I couldn't help but immediately blurt out a yes when he asked me to come with him. He looked so excited! Plus, the warm hug he gave me after that totally made it worth it.

I just follow Seungmin, Jeongin and Chan to the couch. Sitting down awkwardly as the two younger boys are engulfed in a conversation, both talking excitedly about what seems to be a band. Day6 I think? Chan tries to join in but eventually gives up after getting cut off every time by one of the boys remembering something and gasping loudly. He just sighs, leaning back into the cushions of the couch. However, his eyes never leave Jeongin.

As hard as I try to keep my attention to the conversation, my gaze involuntarily averts to the boy next to me, I smile as I see his eyes light up to something Jeongin says. Pushing his round glasses further up his nose to look at the small phonescreen the Maknae shows him.

He then bursts out in laughter, accidentally snorting loudly. quickly clamping a hand in front of his mouth as a blush creeps up his cheeks. He hides his face in his hands from embarrasment and I can't help but let out a chuckle. His head shoots up at this, and he sends me a glare.

"Yah! Shut up, it happens to everyone sometimes." He defends himself, fidgeting nervously with his fingers. Obviously still uncomfortable.

I feel the corners of my mouth lifting up involuntarily at his cute behaviour. Softly grabbing his hands to keep them still.

"Calm down, I wasn't laughing at you. You're just cute." I tell him while softly tracing circles on his hands that i'm still holding.

He starts coughing violently at this, pulling his hands out of my grip quickly. It's funny to watch at first, but when after a minute he's still coughing, I frown. Hurriedly grabbing a cup of water and shoving it in his hands, basically forcing him to drink.

After taking a sip he slowly recovers, eyes still glossy and his nose red. I can't help but stare. The way he scrunches his nose, to make his glasses stand stand better on his nose. The way his glossy eyes sparkle. How his lips are slightly parted while panting. I feal my face heat up, and I can't seem to look away.

He suddenly looks up at me, tilting his head slightly. Just as he opens his mouth to say something, someone stumbles over the carpet, succesfully spilling their drink all over Seungmin.

The boy gasps, squeezing his eyes tightly to prevent the drink from dripping into them. The person who spilled the drink however, just blinks a few times. Whispering a slurred oops, then turning around to continue dancing. I tense, glaring at them, before standing up. Ready to beat the shit out of them.

However, a hand on my arm stops me. I turn around to meet Seungmin's eyes.

"It's okay hyung, it was just an accident." he smiles at me softly, grabbing my arm tighter.

"The bitch hurt you! The least they could do is apologise-" I start ranting furiously before getting cut of again.

"They didn't hurt me jinnie, It's just a drink." The boy chuckles softly, shaking his head at my dramatic reaction.
