Jeongguk stumbled upon Jimin while walking up the street with Bambam and Eunwoo, heading to the house at the end of the stage where the party would be held. There were a few other people arriving that parked their cars along the street, just like Eunwoo did.

The trio chatted with Jimin as they all walked together towards the house. Once they stood right outside the house, Jimin bid farewell to the trio before heading off to where his friends were chilling.

Contrary to what Jimin had said, this definitely looked like it was a full-on party, with the loud music blaring from within, people hanging around with drinks in their hands at the front pouch, lights illuminating from the windows.

Perhaps Jimin's words were meant to make Jeongguk feel less intimidated — but Jeongguk was never terrified of parties. He usually had fun at parties.

"Looks lit." Bambam remarked as they ascended the steps to the porch. He then opened the door, and they all walked in. As expected, there were a lot of people. They went to the nearest corner and stood there talking.

"Heck yeah." Eunwoo said after a Frank Ocean song started to play in the background and the purple light glowing in all the spaces seemed to fit the mood of the song.

The music seemed to come from behind the wall he was leaning against, which was most likely where the living room was, considering there were people walking in and out through a doorway in the wall.

"I'm gonna go find Mingyu, you guys wanna come with me?" Bambam asked.

"Nah, I'm gonna go talk to girls." Eunwoo grinned and there was a short pause after he said that as his two friends blankly stared at him. Then Jeongguk snorted, and Bambam burst out laughing.

"...What?" Eunwoo slightly whined and threw a light punch onto Bambam's arm while glaring hard at Jeongguk. "You guys are haters, for real."

"Sorry," Jeongguk replied with a giggle, barely meaning it. "The way you said it was a little funny."

"What?? Bambam says things like that all the time and you've never laughed at him!" Eunwoo protested.

Bambam lightly pressed his palm on Eunwoo's shoulder. "Honestly, you could just only use your face, dude. No words needed."

"I'm more than just a pretty face!" Eunwoo bit back, pouting, and Bambam shoved his face sideways.

"Okay, sure, go talk to girls then." Bambam then said and Jeongguk pushed Eunwoo on the shoulder.

"Just be yourself and have fun." The doll said.

"Don't be cringy though!" Bambam quipped as Eunwoo started walking away from them. Eunwoo slightly turned and showed a thumbs up, actually thankful for the reminder.

Bambam turned to Jeongguk, who was lightly dabbing on his lips with his pinky finger. "Well, I'll see you in a bit?"

"You're not gonna offer me to come with you?" Jeongguk asked in a fake sad voice, shoulders slumped.
