Seventeen Imagines

Hoshi: at first sight (pt. 3)

Soonyoung and his friends were invited to a house party to celebrate someone's birthday. Soonyoung was reluctant to go though, not knowing whether you were going to be there or not. He didn't like going places without you being present, especially when he knew other women would be there. He hated the idea of baseless rumors possibly spreading while he's trying to pursue you.

Soonyoung sat around his room sulking the entire time while everyone else got ready, refusing to get ready himself until he knew if you were going tonight. It wasn't until minutes before his friends were about to leave that Dokyeom texted him.

DK: I'm picking yn up shortly.

Finally getting confirmation that you were going to the party changed Soonyoung's mood drastically. He instantly smiled and started changing his clothes. He rushed to put on a white and black striped button up, purposely leaving a few buttons undone at the top, and tucked it into black pants. He threw on nice shoes, quickly gelled and parted his fringe to the side to show off a little bit of his forehead, followed by putting on a watch and finally spritzing himself with the perfume you liked.

His friends watched as he frantically dressed himself but also took care into what he wore at the same time. They were skeptical as to why he was acting the way he was because moments before they were under the impression he wasn't going. The guys weren't aware that Soonyoung confessed to you a week ago but they had an idea that he liked you. They also didn't know you were attending the party either.

Immediately after confessing to you Soonyoung told you not to give him an answer right away and scurried off. Since then he hasn't seen you much, on purpose, mostly because he's afraid of being rejected. But tonight he wanted to properly ask you to be his girlfriend, in private of course. He wanted to look his best before asking you out, praying that he'd luck out and you'd say yes. Soonyoung had it all planned out in his head how the night was going to go.

After arriving at the party Soonyoung searched everywhere for you. When he couldn't find you he stepped outside and sent you a text since he was too nervous to call you, asking if you were still coming to the party. You responded almost immediately which made Soonyoung's heart race, telling him you and Dokyeom were running late. He let out a sigh of relief and stuffed his phone in his pocket before going back inside.

In the meantime Soonyoung decided to have a couple drinks with his friends to loosen himself up. About an hour passed and now he was feeling less anxious and more excited over the idea of seeing you. Minutes before you arrived a small group of women from a different department at the university walked up to Soonyoung and started flirting with him, thinking he'd buy into it since he's the campus playboy. One of them was wearing a pink satin sash with "birthday bitch" on it, obviously flaunting that it was a party for her.

At first he almost played along but the thought of you showing up and seeing him surrounded by women snapped him back to reality. Soonyoung attempted to get away from the group but the birthday girl grabbed his arm and purposely pushed it against her chest. He was growing more anxious and uncomfortable by the second, trying to yank his arm away from the clingy woman all while continuously glancing at the front door. Even after telling the girl to let go of him she refused, thinking Soonyoung was just playing hard to get with her.

And then you finally walked through the front door. Dokyeom was right behind you helping you to walk through the crowd of college students. You didn't see Soonyoung right away but he certainly saw you. His heart skipped and his body started to sweat the moment he laid eyes on you.

He instantly smiled when he saw your face. You looked the same as usual. You weren't wearing anything fancy, you hardly had makeup on and your hair was up in a high ponytail. You were wearing an oversized hoodie that looked like a dress on you with jeans and sneakers on. He loved how you didn't care about dressing to impress others even at a house party filled with people flaunting their bodies and wealth.
