YUNHEE

"For the love of Jihyo, please shut your motor of a mouth! I can't hear a word," I hiss at Jay who was up to his usual noisy antics. Right then, the bell rings and class is dismissed.

"You must be fun at parties," Jay sniggers.

"You bet your ass I am. Ask Heeseung if you don't believe me," I say, folding my arms.

"Since when are you and Heeseung besties? How'd he know what you're like at parties?"

"Please, I once had to stop her from stripping at some random stranger's party. Party Yunhee is like a whole other breed," Heeseung says, shuddering at the thought.

"Hey, we don't talk about that!"

"Hah, stop bluffing," Jay says, looking at me with slight arrogance. Did he really think I wasn't capable of having fun?

"You're on," I say, challenging him.

"Fine then. Party at Sunghoon's place, 7 pm. Wear something sexy," Jay says, leaving with a wink. My cheeks slightly turn pink at the last comment and I shake my head, trying to get my head back in order. Sunghoon watches him from behind with his mouth almost dangling open.

"So I guess we don't need permission to throw parties at others' houses anymore or something, huh?" He says, kicking Jay in the butt as he leaves the classroom.

"Ladies, I need your help! We're partying tonight and I don't know what to wear!" I make a commotion inside my apartment where my girlfriends had gathered.

"You've literally never cared this much about a party before. What's your deal?" Ryujin asks, eyeing me suspiciously. I look away, because I knew she would see something in my eyes that I myself did not know was there.

"Nothing. It's just been a while since we went out and I'm excited," I cover my tracks.

"Yeah sure, excitement is 'Help! I don't know what to wear!'" Ningning imitates me. I give her a stank face.

"Guys, of course it's about a boy," Lily says knowledgeably, trying to sound like she was saying something smart as she adjusts her glasses. "Look at the way she's so conscious about what she's wearing tonight. There's obviously someone who she's trying to woo."

"Hey, it's nothing like that-"

"I know! It's Hyunjin, isn't it? I heard he's coming to the party," Ningning raises her hand as if she was in class. While I do admit that Hyunjin is pretty cute, he's literally a model and way out of my league.

"No, it must be-"

"Okay, that's enough! We need to leave in an hour or two and we haven't even decided what to wear!" I yell, creating panic in the room.

My real plan was quite crazy, I know : I was going to leave Jay speechless. I head to my wardrobe and choose a fitted black mini dress, paired with some accessories and a glittery clutch. We get dressed one by one and with just half an hour left, Lily quickly styles my hair into light, airy waves as I choose a lipstick shade for Ningning. We were definitely going to be the best dressed tonight.

"I don't like to say it myself, but I think we look fab. Let's take a quick pic!" Ryujin says, bringing her phone up to click a selfie.

That. Was. So. Worth. It.

Literally everyone was staring at us the moment we got in and for the first time in ages, I felt really confident about myself. You're allowed to indulge in a bit of materialistic behaviour sometimes to achieve happiness, okay?
