wrong number - jeongchan

ch. 4 ~ ' party '

CHAN'S POV

i walked jeongin to his car and bid him goodbye, before walking back to my apartment. luckily for me, i didn't live too far from the uni. i put my hoodie up and took out my wired headphones, switching them out for my bigger, bluetooth ones since jeongin wasn't here to share with me. i had enjoyed the warmth of him next to me a lot more than i had expected to. and he invited me to a party. as his plus-one. my heart was going crazy, and the happy expression on my face wasn't hiding that at all as i walked home. i played the next song on my playlist — it was the SB19 remix of "golden hour" and it was probably one of my favorites. i hummed along to it, and when they started their open verse i started to sing along softly, singing in somewhat-decent tagalog. unfortunately, like most international songs that i listened to, i probably butchered some of the words and pronunciation.

mala-maharlika'ng 'yong ganda
malaya, 'di magwawakas tila parirala

jeongin popped into my head as the song played, and i started thinking about him while i walked home and listened to the song.

oh, diyos ko!
'no pa nga ba'ng masasabi ko?

i understood a couple of the words, thanks to a tagalog class i had taken in high school just for fun, and thinking about the bits and pieces of lyrics i understood, my heart smiled.

sana 'di ka mawalay sa'kin, oh, aking sinta

i entered my apartment as the song ended, taking my headphones off and i hung them around my neck. i crouched down to pet berry, smiling as i did so. "hi~! sorry berry, i'm late, i know~!" i laughed as she tried to tackle me. i stood up and walked to my room, setting my stuff down and placing my headphones at my desk.

"big brother's gotta get ready for a party~!" i smiled. i figured it was just a regular college party, so i scrolled through my pinterest and instagram for some inspiration. i had a decent style, not bad but not the best either. i liked being comfortable, but this was special--i was going with jeongin.

that made it special enough.

i had just finished getting ready when i heard my buzzer go off at my door. i opened it, seeing jeongin at the door. my face lit up.

"hey jeongin!" i greeted him, berry at my feet. weirdly, she wasn't barking at him. she usually barked at everyone who visited, even my mom. all she did was look at him in curiosity, like she was familiar with him.

jeongin smiled softly and i saw his cheeks turn ever-so-slightly red. "hi hyung. you ready to go?" he asked, looking down to see berry looking up at him. he gasped slightly and crouched down to pet her with a grin on his face. "oh my gosh, hello~! what's your name~?"

"it's berry." i said with a small smile on my face as i watched the two interact. berry seemed to enjoy his touch a lot. i took my phone out of my pocket, catching a quick photo of the two without jeongin noticing. "she's cute, isn't she?" i asked, putting my phone back in my pocket.

jeongin nodded happily. "yeah, she's definitely a cutie." just like you, i thought to myself.

after a couple moments, jeongin stood up to face me again. "alright, you ready to go?" he asked with a small smile.

i nodded and grabbed my cross-body, a small black bag only carrying my wallet and some advil...plus some other things just in case i needed them. (a/n ~ if you know, you know.)

"let's go then!~" he took a step away from the door as i said bye to berry. i closed the door, listening for a faint click to indicate that it locked. once it did, we left to go to jeongin's car and got inside.
