The One

Chapter 11

I have never been a fan of parties. Honestly, parties back home are basically BBQs where everyone drinks and plays beer pong. Or they're nerd parties where you play games and drink, or they're just a bunch of friends playing 'Never have I ever'.

So, when Park Jimin suggested sneaking me into their dorms – avoiding unsuspecting fans – so we could celebrate my new job at Bighit, I was very unsure whether to say yes. Being stuck in a room with Yoongi and Jimin, after everything that has happened? Not to mention the fact that I am not too close to the other members. What if they blame me for Jimin and Yoongi arguing? Will there be a fight? Is it really worth it?

"Don't worry, Lilly," Jimin mumbled over the phone a little while ago, "Everything will be fine, don't worry too much. The other members really want to celebrate you working with us from now on,"

So now, I have arrived in a taxi a few blocks down from the dorms. When I drove past the apartment complex there wasn't anyone waiting out the front, but that didn't make me feel any better.

Ignoring a minor stab of anxiety, I pay the driver and start walking around the block. Jimin said he will wait for me in a closed-off building behind the apartment complex to take me in.

As I reach the building, I spot him leaning against the wall on the side. He looks up, a playful smirk on his lips and his eyes alight with humour.

"About time," He remarks, "Come," He holds out his hand silently waiting for me to take it. I hesitate for a second before I give in, placing my hand gently in his. He gently leads me around the building and through a high fence. He locks it behind us.

We make our way inside and up the elevator, all the while still holding hands. Jimin hums cheerfully, enjoying the feel of my hand a little too much.

When we reach the dorms, Jimin swings open the door to reveal the other members, happily preparing for the party.

"Congratulations, Lilly!" Taehyung grins enthusiastically as Jimin allows him to steer me inside. Jimin closes the door, leaving me with the BTS members.

"Yah! How come you didn't tell us you were joining Bighit?" Jungkook pouts.

"Yeah! We had to hear everything from Yoongi!" Taehyung admonishes me, leading me over to a table laden with food.

"Sorry guys," I grin shyly, "It was meant to be a surprise..." I glare up at Yoongi, who grins down at me.

"You didn't say it was a surprise," Yoongi mutters resentfully, "I wouldn't have said anything if you told me to,"

"Now!" Jimin interrupts, "Let's start eating!" Jimin ushers me into a seat beside him. Yoongi subtly slides in on my other side, chatting away with Namjoon.

They make it so obvious.

I roll my eyes and begin eating.

I allow the conversation to drift wherever they take it, not putting in any input, leaving me to my thoughts.

However, I can't seem to concentrate as Yoongi's uncontrollable body keeps subtly touching me.

I look up at him as his arm brushes past me for the umpteenth time. He raises his eyebrows, daring me to say anything in front of Jimin.

I turn back to my food, ignoring his insistent pushing.

Suddenly, my breath hitches as his spare hand finds my knee, grasping it briefly. Cheeks red, I turn to him.

"Yah!" I grumble quietly, "What are you doing right now?"
