THIRTY-SIX

Five shots in, and Seokjin has already had enough for the night.

His new friends are tipsy giggling messes. He let Yeona drunkenly braid his hair, and Yugyeom talk his ear off while Jeongguk stayed silent. 

He was getting bored, and Seokjin could see it as his eyes drifted off to everyone else dancing and having fun while he was stuck babysitting. The thought of that stung just a bit... Maybe Seokjin shouldn't have come at all.

"Do you guys want to dance?" Seokjin abruptly questions.

Yeona quickly perks up, nodding enthusiastically with excited eyes. "Yes! Yugyeom, dance with me," she cheers, gripping his arm before merging into the crowd.

The younger laughs at the two and the look Yugyeom gives them, his face practically screaming 'help me' before Yeona pulls him away.

Seokjin glances over at Jeongguk, who discards his drink on a table before stepping behind the younger, and God, does he look handsome tonight.

He basically towers over Seokjin, eyes staring down at him intensely as his tongue pokes at his lip ring. The younger's eyes drift down to his muscular tatted arms, and he has to force himself to close his eyes to stop certain thoughts from intruding in his mind.

"I guess it's just me and you," he murmurs.

"Oh yeah," Seokjin stammers out, licking his lips before looking away from the older. " You know... We can dance, but only if you want."

Jeongguk doesn't say anything, and the younger panics internally.

Oh, he's fucked up so—

"Sure," Jeongguk says with a shrug. He feels the older grab his hand, leading him onto the floor.

He's sure what to do with his limbs but slowly moves his hips to the beat. He feels arms wrap around his waist as Jeongguk's body presses on his, and he takes a chance dancing against the older.

He doesn't think too hard about what he's doing, and for the first time, he's actually having fun, his confidence growing as he grinds his ass against Jeongguk, who moves along with him, a surprised smile growing on his face.

"You're like a whole new person tonight," Jeongguk whispers in his ear.

Seokjin turns and faces the older with a crooked smile, "Thank you for bringing me here tonight hyu—"

The younger pauses as he watches a pretty woman approach Jeongguk, placing a hand on his shoulder. Her eyes and smile are hazy and seductive.

She whispers something the younger can't hear, and he watches with a frown. The woman looks at him with sharp mean eyes. "Do you mind?" she asks with a plastic smile on her face.

Seokjin mutters an apology as he backs away from the two.

It wasn't hard for Jeongguk to watch him leave. Jeongguk didn't even seem to care as he pulled that woman close while Seokjin watched from the sidelines.

He should've known better.

"Seokjinnie," Yeona calls, her happy glow from earlier is gone as she hooks her arm onto his. "I'm going to beat his fucking—"

"No, it's okay. I'm alright," Seokjin says with pleading eyes.

Yeona places a hand on his back as she stares at the male with a pout. "Yugyeom is bringing the car around. You wanna go home?" She asks gently.

Seokjin shakes his head, unable to pull his eyes from Jeongguk and that girl as he kisses her.

Yeona glances over at the younger. He looks numb and tired.

"Yeah, I'd like to go now," he says, almost detached. He's had enough for tonight.

What a way to ruin a good night.

It took a while for Yugyeom and Jeongguk to finally join them. Seokjin avoids all contact with the older as possible, wanting nothing more than to go the fuck home.

"What's up with you two?" Jeongguk questions, nodding over at the two as they approach them.

Yeona scoffs, rolling her eyes, deciding not to bother with the male. He can't really be this stupid.

"Nothing. You seem to like her a lot," Seokjin mumbles.

"What?" Jeongguk asks with a frown.

"I said you seem to like her a lot. That's all," Seokjin repeats with a shrug.

Him and his stupid mouth is always getting him in trouble.

"Why are you acting so bitchy?" Jeongguk questions, taking the younger back.

Bitchy?

"Yo Jeongguk chill," Yugyeom interjects with a frown.

"Bitchy," Seokjin scoffs, "Maybe because you asked me to come only to ditch me for some slut you don't even know."

"Get over yourself. We're not even together," Jeongguk spats out as he stares the younger down with narrowed eyes.

Right... They're not together.

"Hey!" Yeona shouts and turns to look at the boy with worried sympathetic eyes. "Jinnie, are you okay?"

Seokjin shakes his head "I'm going home," he mutters before turning away from the three.

He ignores everyone calling after him, not once looking back as he walks outside. He wraps his arms around himself as he steps into the cold dark night. He's truly alone now and unsure of where to go after stupidly leaving his phone home, as Jeongguk said after his promises of getting him home safe.

His lip begins to quiver as his eyes prick with tears. This whole night has gone to shit, and it's all his fault.

He feels a hand yank at his forearm, and he turns to see Jeongguk behind him. His eyebrows furrowed in anger as he pulls Seokjin closer to him.

"Are you really fucking leaving because I kissed someone?" Jeongguk accuses with a frown.

"That's not what this is about, and you know it!" Seokjin shouts as he pulls himself out of the older's grasp.

"Then what else would it be? It's clear you have a thing for me–"

The younger lets out a scoff. He knew Jeongguk was full of himself, but this was just something else.

How could someone be so egotistical and unaware?

"Go back to her Jeongguk. I don't fucking care what you do," Seokjin hisses, his once sweet eyes full of anger.

"You don't care?" Jeongguk questions, an eyebrow quirked and his tone almost teasing.

"No, I don't," he repeats with narrowed eyes as he crosses his arms.

"Good," Jeongguk says, a smile dragging up the older's face.

Seokjin's not sure how it happened. He swore he was going to walk away, but instead, Jeonguk's lips were against his, hands gripping his waist, pulling him closer.

He told himself he'd stop. Just one kiss, and that's it.

.... He lied.
