Year 2016. 3rd year College.

"Dani! You look so fucking gorgeous!" Fate exclaimed when she turned me around. I just flashed her a bashful smile as I check myself infront of the mirror again.

We were going to a party that is hosted by a senior in our University. All his friends and acquaintances are invited (including us since I am a member of the club he was leading). I am wearing an outfit that is personally chosen by Fate, it was just a simple black mini skirt with chains partnered with a white cropped top and black boots. It was simple yet pretty for me.

"Thanks Fate. Good thing I have a fashionista friend. I should consider your advices from now on." I replied making her grin.

"Aaw I'm flattered." She beamed.

"You know what, let's just go because I'm so excited to meet other people." She said and I nodded in response. I feel excited because I can finally unwind. Lots of stress from school, life, and relationship is killing me.

I need to free myself and just let loose, at least for a while.

Booming and clashing of sounds were heard outside the house and it makes my heart jump because of it. This is not my first time attending to these kind of parties so I'm kinda familiar with it.

The place reeks of alcohol and it was packed of people, well most of them were students from our university. I smiled as I watched the scene. I missed having fun.

"Hey Dani, Fate. Glad you came." Our senior, Mark greeted us.

"Hello Oppa! Of course we will come! How can we miss this exciting party of yours?" Fate beamed making Mark chuckle.

"Thank you Fate. Well, have fun! Enjoy the rest of the party. I'll just entertain the other guests. See you around?" Mark said and we just nodded in response before he left us. Fate dragged me to the kitchen where we can see different kinds of alcoholic drinks and some cocktails.

I just grab some cocktail since I am not planning on getting myself too drunk.

"Hey Dani. Would you like to join the others at the dance floor?" Fate asked ridiculously as if she doesn't know that I hate to dance.

"Fate. You can just go there? I'll stay here. Go, have fun. You can come back here." I assured her so she just shrugged and went to the sea of people. I just smiled as I watched her disappear. Fate will always be Fate. But she can manage that, unlike me who is not really that fond of people.

I was just enjoying my drink when I felt someone's presence beside me.

"Didn't know you're here." The voice of a man said. I turned to him and a smile automatically crept up on my face as I saw my classmate and thesis partner, Changbin.

"Hey Bin! Nice to see you here mate!" I said and gave him a high five.

"Me too Dani. I'm glad that you decided to have fun and not stressing yourself with shit ton of activities." He said and I nod at him in agreement.

"Yeah. I needed this too. Fuck my activities first. I need to unwind." I remarked, hearing him laugh at me.

"Are you close with Mark hyung?" He asked and I nod in response.

"You can say that. Since we are in a club together. I am his member there. How about you?" I said.

"Well, Mark hyung is my cousin from my mother's side so yeah." He said making me gasp in shock. I didn't know he's cousin with Mark.

"Really? Wow. I didn't know that. How come you never told me about it? Now I'm sulking." I joked at him, making a frown on my face.

"Whatever Dani. You never asked me, remember? " he remarked, jokingly rolling his eyes at me. I just smacked his arm in return before I drink my cocktail again.
