55. Third-wheeling hard

10 PM  |  Micha

"Did you speak to him?"

I spilled the content of the pan into the plate Yejin was holding for me.

"Not yet," I whispered back, biting on my lower lip.

"Micha... Do you realize how bad it is?" Yejin looked at me with a concerned look on her face. "They know your address..."

I avoided her stare, turning back to the stove.

"It's okay, I don't live there anymore... Plus, it's not so simple..." I released a deep breath. "I'm waiting for the right moment."

We both got startled when the bell rang.

"It's the booze!" Jimin cheered, skipping to the door.

I pushed a plate into Yejin's hands and we both walked back to the living room.

"I'm thinking of a matching outfit... From Louis Vuitton or Gucci."

Taehyung was showing something on his phone to Dohyun, a wide grin on his face.

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked, placing the dishes on the coffee table.

Yejin sat down on the floor and Jungkook slid from the leather couch to sit next to her on the ground.

"What to wear for Namjoon's birthday dinner!" Tae's smile got wider. "It's our first time, so we gotta show off!"

He showed me the pic of two models wearing a matching outfit and I shook my head with a smile.

"What will you be wearing, Yejin-sshi?" Dohyun asked, poking her friend's cheek.

Yejin frowned as she poured some tea into her cup.

"I had no idea it was that fancy... I don't think I have anything to wear," she chuckled, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks.

I noticed Jungkook looking at her and opening his mouth, but no sound escaped from it... as if he was hesitating.

"I can lend you a dress!" I offered immediately. "I have a red one that will suit you perfectly!"

Yejin shyly smiled.

"Your girlfriend is too kind to me..." she said to Taehyung, sitting next to me. "Watch out," she added, raising playful eyebrows at him.

Taehyung laughed, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me against his side.

"I know that," he said in a warm, loving tone.

Jimin came back into the room, a pack of beers and two bottles of soju between his arms.

"Make room!"

We all pushed the plates to the sides, giving place to the main activity of the night.

I watched my friends eating the meal I prepared for them, wide smiles on their faces, their mouths full of food and happiness.

Taehyung and I were sitting on the couch together as the four of them were sitting around the coffee table - it felt like parents and kids.

We laughed and drank, and drank a bit more.

I couldn't help but feel how I truly belonged there.

It just felt right.

"I love your tattoos," Jimin complimented, pouring a glass of soju for Dohyun.
