"Woah." Jina awed, taking in the sights of the banquet hall. Usually reserved for company-wide meetings, Jina had only ever seen it full of table and a speech platform. Now, however, the hall was decorated from head to toe- glittering lights and gorgeous table arrangements. 

Jungwon and Jina walked down the stairs slowly, trying to experience the moment to the fullest

Jungwon and Jina walked down the stairs slowly, trying to experience the moment to the fullest. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, they joined Minnie, Soyeon, Sunghoon and Jihyung, who were chatting amicably. 

"The frontline agents usually take longer." A waiter said with a kind smile to Jina, who'd asked why the venue seemed to be full of only agents. 

"Oh, thanks." Jina smiled, heading back to the group, sipping on her drink. 

"No way, is that alcohol Jeon Jina?" Jihyung said sternly, looking at Jina, his voice low. 

"Obviously not." She said. "It's punch."

"Good." Jihyung said, "You better not be drinking."

"Yeah, yeah." Jina rolled her eyes. "Although I am 18 here, so don't make it suspicious."

"What are you two whispering about?" Minnie frowned, craning her head to listen. 

"Nothing." Jina laughed. "Come, let's dance!"

About 20 minutes later, Alpha, Beta and Frontline officers began to roll in, including Jungkook, Hyunjin and Taehyung. Minho and Chan came next, followed by Changbin and Kai, all well-dressed and buzzing with excitement. 

"WHAT!" Taehyung exclaimed suddenly, causing a few agents to turn their heads. 

"Shush, Tae." Jungkook said, smiling awkwardly. 

"What do you mean? You broke up with Lisa? When?" Taehyung questioned, Hyunjin seeming equally interested. 

"A couple of days ago."

"WOAH!" Taehyung exclaimed again. He punched Jungkook's arm. "How could you not tell me? This is crazy-"

"Why do you care so much?" Jungkook shrugged, seeming nonchalant. 

"No reason." Taehyung mumbled. "Where's Jimin?"

That seemed to make Jungkook slightly more alert. He looked up quickly, scanning the room. "Nope, not here yet."

Taehyung smirked. "Yeah, you keep your eyes peeled for him."

Hyunjin grinned, "Well, Min Hyung loves to make an entrance, so we'll know when he comes, don't worry."

"True." Taehyung smiled, already excited for Jungkook's reaction to Jimin's outfit.

"Where's Appa?" Jina said, looking nervous. She'd pulled Jihyung to a corner to avoid someone overhearing. 

"He didn't ditch right?"

"No- he actually seemed excited!" Jina said, still looking hesitant. 

"He'll be here, don't worry." Jihyung said, smiling.
