To Be Loved... (BOOK 1)

New Relationships

"Do I look stupid?" Wooyoung panicked, fixing his hair in front of my closet mirror.

"No, you never look stupid."

"Good, that means I can tell you you look stupid. Change that shirt." He turned and looked me up and down with his hand on his hip.

"But I like this shirt." I pouted.

"Just wear all black to be safe." I sighed and grabbed a black button up off a hanger from my closet. I guess it looked a lot nicer with the black jeans and combat boots. Wooyoung had on something similar, but with Vans on instead along with a baggy black shirt tucked into his jeans.

"Did you just want to match?"

"Yes, we need everyone to know we're best friends."

We made our way towards Felix's house together. Tonight was a night of firsts. I've never been to a party before, or even tried alcohol. I'm not cut out for this type of stuff, I already know it. But I'll take every chance I get to see Felix.

There were already several cars parked around the area. Wooyoung thought it would be best if we weren't the first ones so 'we'd seem cool'. Once I parked, I texted Felix that we were here. He came out of the house immediately and ran towards me the second I left my car.

"Hi." His voice was muffled due to his body already wrapped around me and his face in my chest.

"Hi." I replied, giving him a kiss on top of his head.

"Aw!" Wooyoung squealed behind us. "Alright Jin Jin, introduce me to your boyfriend."

I am going to kill him.

My eyes popped out of my skull as I looked at him with death on my mind. Felix just squeezed onto me even tighter.

"What the fuck." I said inaudibly. He just winked. "Alright," I sighed, "this is my best friend, Wooyoung." Felix let go of me and turned around to face him, who was standing proudly with his hands on his hips.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Felix." He said, his voice almost sounding deeper than usual. I don't know if I'll ever get used to that.

"Okay." I cleared my throat. "Wanna go inside?"

Felix nodded and led the way by pulling on my hand. As we were walking, I turned around and gave Wooyoung the same death glare to which he just laughed at.

There were tons of people. For someone as introverted as me, this was a lot to take in. I've also never been inside the house before so I couldn't believe how big it actually was.

"Hwang Hyunjin!" I heard Jisung shout. "My man!" He gave me a quick hug and a pat on the back, then looked between Felix and I. "I thought Wooyoung was coming?"

I rolled my eyes and groaned, realizing he had already disappeared. "He ran off."

"Hyunjin!" Another voice called out.

"Innie!" I shouted. His smile was beaming as always when he handed me a cup.

"I can't believe you finally came!" He took a sip from the bottle he was holding and made a disgusted face, but quickly bounced back to his iconic grin. "Try it."

"Yeah, Jinnie, you gotta get in the partying spirit." Jisung encouraged. I looked over at Felix who was also anticipating my first sip of alcohol. "Yongbokie, he's never had alcohol before."

"Oh my god, what?" He laughed. I felt slightly embarrassed, but I stupidly tried to drink it like it wasn't about to rip my throat apart.

"Hyunjin, did you just chug that?" Jisung was in disbelief and almost seemed concerned.
