Shattered illusions

Dinner party 2 : let's dance

☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡ﾟ*⁠･⁠゜ﾟ↝

You were seated at the bar, chatting with Rosé and Nabi, Jin's girlfriend, they were both nice girls with an amazing sense of humour.

You took a sip from your glass. Looking around, you let your eyes wander around the hall, and something, more or less someone catches your eye, causing you to choke on your drink. You felt your breath hitch, as you suddenly let out muffled cough sounds.

Rosé immediately turned to you, and placing her hand on your back, she tapped and rubbed your back gently. You regained your composure and assured Rosé and Nabi that you were fine.

You excused yourself, and headed straight for the restroom, even though you had no idea where it was. You were walking out of the bar when you bumped into someone and lost your balance, luckily the person was able to hold you, just in time to prevent you from falling.
You looked up to see who you had bumped into and it was Jungkook, for some reason you heaved a sigh of relief.

"Be careful miss, where were you going anyway?" Jungkook asked.

"To the powder room," you said impatiently.

"Oh, before you go, there's someone I would like you to meet " Jungkook said, as he looked back, calling out to someone.

Your eyes moved away from Jungkook and there he was, standing right beside Jungkook. He had seen you and you had seen him. You blinked once, then twice, then thrice trying your best to decipher the person standing in front of you. He seemed equally shocked to see you, he wasn't even speaking, his stare burning intensely, he wasn't speaking yet it felt like questions were being thrown at you.
Gripping the sides of your dress tightly, you took deep yet subtle breaths, your teeth sunk into your lower lip. With thoughts racing through your head like crazy, you forced a smile.
Even though seeing Yoongi and Seo Joon had anticipated a bit the possibility of seeing him here, you had simply dismissed the thought. Staring at him, you tried your best to decipher, what it was he was thinking about, at the moment, but there was nothing.

"Yena, this is Taehyung. Taehyung this is Yena," Jungkook said.

You stared at him. He didn't utter a single word, instead,d he just kept staring at you, his gaze still as intense as before, you stared back at him, your eyes scanning his face, those eyes, that face. You felt your heart race. Your eye focused on his, and his eyes fixed on yours. You didn't know exactly what emotion you were feeling now, but you were sure of one thing, and that was the fact that you wanted to sprint out of there immediately.

"Guys!, aren't you going to shake hands," Yoongi said, breaking the silence between you both, and at that moment you looked away from Taehyung, breaking eye contact with him. You stared from Yoongi to him, you had no idea of the kind of game, they were trying to play.

You stared at Yoongi, and he simply looked at Jungkook then Taehyung and smiled awkwardly.

"Nice to meet you Taehyung," you said as you extended your hand for a handshake, playing along, after all, two can play this game, and three can play it even better.

You didn't care what game they were playing but one thing was for sure; you weren't going to identify yourself with this man here, this was best, for everyone. Acting like you didn't know him, cause this was a public gathering, and it would be wrong to have a scene created, it wasn't just any public gathering it was Jungkook's birthday.

You looked at him and he wasn't speaking, he just stood there staring at you, you withdrew your hand and stared back at him.

"Uhmmmm, sorry about this, I think he's too awestruck to speak" Yoongi said, smiling even more awkwardly, as he pulled Taehyung away with him quickly.
