26 | DUNK-DAZED

The college's main hall was transformed into a warm and inviting space, adorned with twinkling fairy lights and festive decorations. The atmosphere was filled with a palpable sense of excitement and camaraderie as students gathered, chatting and laughing, eager to celebrate the holiday season together. Students gathered in small groups, chatting, laughing, and enjoying the festive spirit. The evening began with a casual mingling of students, some catching up with friends, others enjoying the festive treats and drinks provided. There was a genuine air of joy and camaraderie, with everyone eager to unwind and enjoy the festivities.

As the evening progressed, the highlight of the night approached. A group of talented girls from the college had volunteered to represent a K-pop girl group for the performance. Dressed in coordinating outfits, they took the stage with infectious energy. The opening notes of a popular K-pop hit filled the hall, and the girls danced with precision and flair. Their performance was a delightful mix of synchronized choreography and playful interactions with the audience. The students cheered them on, appreciating the effort and talent that went into their performance.

Taehyung and Jeongguk found themselves in the midst of it all, the tension between them palpable. They exchanged casual pleasantries, trying to keep the conversation light and easy. Taehyung complimented Jeongguk on his choice of outfit, a simple but stylish ensemble that suited him perfectly.

''Remember, the real fun starts after that borring ass party.'' Jeongguk laughed on Taehyung's ear as he was drinking from a small glass bottle, which was supposed to represent a simple water inside, but it was surely anything but water. 

''You've told me already.'' He said in the other's ear, taking the small bottle from his hand to take a sip, ''That one is terrible.'' He grimaced but Jeongguk shrugged off, taking it for himself.

After the K-pop performance, it was time for the college choir to take the stage. Dressed in elegant attire, they arranged themselves in formation, ready to enchant the audience with their harmonious voices. The room fell into a hushed silence as they began to sing a medley of beloved Christmas carols. 

The rich, melodious voices of the choir filled the hall, wrapping the audience in a warm embrace of holiday cheer. The songs resonated with everyone, evoking memories of past Christmases and the promise of new beginnings. The performance was met with enthusiastic applause, and the choir members exchanged satisfied glances, knowing they had spread a little extra holiday magic.

As the night wore on, the professors took to the stage to express their gratitude for the hard work and dedication of the students throughout the semester. Their words were met with polite applause, but gradually, the students began to discreetly slip away, heading to various corners of the hall to continue their conversations and celebrations.

Jimin and Yoongi, having thoroughly enjoyed the evening, found themselves near a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. They shared a quiet moment, the twinkling lights casting a warm glow over their faces. Yoongi turned to Jimin, his eyes filled with affection.

"This has been a wonderful night, Jimin," Yoongi said, his voice soft. "Thank you for being here with me."

Jimin smiled, his heart swelling with happiness. He gently cupped his cheek and pressed their lips together for a short kiss, ''You're being cheeky, quite cheeky.'' He smiled against his lips and kissed him again, ''Save your sober self for later, yeah?''

The professors gathered on the stage, their voices blending into a steady hum as they discussed various academic matters. Unbeknownst to them, the students were taking full advantage of the distraction. One by one, they slipped away, sneaking out of the hall with hushed giggles and sly glances.
