Despite your reluctance to join him at the get-together tonight, you still put quite a bit more effort into preparing yourself. 

You tell yourself that this is simply your way of making new changes, to be able to feel confident about yourself again after losing that confidence throughout your short, painful marriage.

You have picked one of the most compromising dresses you have in your luggage. It is quite a simple piece, but you decide that it would still be enough to do its purpose if you want to scare off the evil witch from trying to clutch her nasty claws on your gorgeous best friend while feeling good about yourself while doing it.

The maroon dress you have picked tonight is skin-tight, with a tube top that is free of sleeves and straps and shows your cleavage just enough without looking overly exposed, and it comes mid-thigh at the bottom. The piece encases your body and accentuates your curves just right, while covering all the lesser parts in your body that you aren't feeling so confident enough to flaunt for people to see.

The moment you are ready, you step out of the bedroom to meet Namjoon downstairs, as he has been waiting for you in his living room. 

Even under the dim lighting, Namjoon's tall and handsome look is enough to suck the air out of your chest the moment your eyes land on him. Wearing a tight-fitting black shirt and a pair of tight, dark-coloured jeans, you are sure that he could sway more than one woman if he had wanted to tonight. You can even confirm that looking at him now is making you feel things that you have never felt for him before. 

Shaking any dark thoughts you may have for your best friend, you walk up to him before he notices your presence.

"How do I look?" you ask him, making him turn around to see you.

Once you come into his view, Namjoon's eyes grow wide for a moment. His mouth opens and closes as if he is choking on air. The sight pleases you so that you have to bite your lips, stopping the grin from showing up as you wait for him to respond. Still in his silence, Namjoon's eyes fall away from your face. His deep gaze trails up and down your body, taking you in from head to toe as he falls silent.

"I'm guessing that means I look alright?" you ask again, pulling him from his thoughts and making him look up to you again.

Namjoon clears his throat and reaches out, catching your chin with his fingers and tilts your face up so he can leave a light kiss on your cheek. 

"You look perfect," he finally tells you. His voice sounds raw as he speaks and it comes out an octave deeper that your body vibrates to his words.

When the shudder he brings forth on your body lingers as he whisks you away from his home, the only thing you can do is start praying and hoping that nothing will go wrong tonight.
