A GUIDE TO DATING MIN YOONGI

Lesson 1: First Impression

"Dude, how'd you get your parents to say yes?"
That was the first thing Jungkook said when I exited the taxi.
"No clue, they just said yes. I didn't even have to bring up God this time." I said as we walked down the sidewalk to the door. I made sure to smooth out my silk white blouse. The top three buttons were unbuttoned, revealing a bit of my chest. It was paired with my favorite black jeans and some gold jewelry.
I don't know how my parents haven't found out about my sexuality yet when I wear necklaces and false earrings on the daily. Or maybe they have and they're just praying to God it's just a phase.
We wait in line and we pay accordingly when we meet the bouncer.
The club is supposed to be small but it seems the walls are infinite when we walk inside.
There's music blaring and people everywhere. We push past the crowd to the bar.
"Drink's on me tonight since I don't know the next time I'll see you without your church clothes on. What do you want?"
"Surprise me." I yell over the music.
I thank Jungkook and he pays for our drinks.
I lean against the sticker countertop and watch people getting it on with each other. With clubs like this, the vibes are usually a hit or miss and luckily tonight we came at the right time. There were people dancing with each other and having fun. There were also a few couples making out in the back but I just made sure to ignore them.
"You should go socialize," Jungkook says as he hands me a red solo cup filled with a mystery liquid.
I don't ask questions to what he put in this cup. It's hard to see what it is from the dim lighting and flashing lights but it is a bright blue color. The drink looks like it'll give me diabetes and kidney stones immediately, the perfect drink for tonight.
"I don't really see anyone I want to go socialize with though."I say sheepishly. I was lying through my teeth. I saw a few people who looked like my type but it would be a nightmare if I have a record of me being here tonight and my parents found out. The last thing I need is a random person becoming evidence.
Jungkook nudged my arm as I sipped the mystery drink. It was very sugary and very alcoholic.
"C'mon, this is the only time you'll be out like this. You have all night!"
"I don't know..."
He sighed, "Well, I'm going to go find someone who's fun. You wanna come with?"
I think about his offer for a little. Every time I've gone out, I've always followed Jungkook around like a dog. I like to talk to people but because my parents distanced me from so many of my friends, my social skills were rusty at best. Maybe Jungkook is right and this is the only chance I'll probably get in a while to sharpen up those skills.
I shake my head, "I'll be here. I'll try talking to some people."
He gives me a warm smile, "Be careful okay? Make sure to call me if anything happens." I nod and I watch as he enters a group of people and starts laughing with them as if he's best friends with them.
I watch him as I continue drinking my drink. As expected, the sugariness of the drink is addictive and it masks the burn of the strong alcohol. I finish my drink in just a few minutes before I have to go back to the bar for another.
"Could I get the uh, blue drink with vodka in it?" I ask the bartender and he chuckles at my request.
He seems to understand what I said since he asks for my money and then turns to make it.
I stand there awkwardly waiting with people crowding around the counter.
"This your first time here?" I hear a voice next to me and a tap on my shoulder.
I turn to face a guy with bright minty green hair.
"Uh, yes?" I answer confused.
"I would recommend the Blossom Shot. It's only sold here and it's really fucking good. I've had two already."
As the stranger spoke, I received another cup of the strange blue liquid. I take his recommendation since I gotta try everything.
"Sir, could I get a Blossom Shot?" I ask the bartender as he was turning around. I pay for the drink again and receive it faster than my other one.
"What's your name?" Mint-hair asks.
"Jimin," I reply as I take the Blossom shot in one go. My throat burns and I start hacking up quite a cough.
"Yours?"
Mint-hair chuckled at my agony, his smile is so cute for his stone cold face.
"Min Yoongi." Yoongi says. "Is this your first time drinking? I've never seen someone react like that to it."
I feel my face flush, "No but I just don't drink much."
He clicks his tongue, "weak" he replies.
I open my mouth to argue with him but I'm pushed by someone behind me. I'm shoved into Yoongi and he grabs my arms as if I'm falling. Maybe it was the alcohol but his touch was soft and it left goosebumps on my body.
"I wanna talk to you more, No-last-name Jimin. But there's so many fucking people here." He looks around the crowded area. "Let's migrate."
He grabs my arm as I'm pulled into a more secluded corner of the club. From here I could make out Jungkook just a few feet away. The lighting is also better here and I could make out this stranger's features better.
He looked cool in his leather jacket but his face was so cute. He had not a wrinkle on his face and he looked almost like a Kpop idol. He had such soft features he looked airbrushed but the way he styled himself made him look intimidating.
Damn it, he's so my type.
I take a long sip of my drink while my eyes analyze his figure.
"I don't know how you were fucking dying at the shot while sipping on that like it's juice." Yoongi says while pointing at the cup.
"What wrong with it?" I ask.
"That drink has like 3 shots in it, you do know that right?"
When he said that I shut my mouth up so quick and pushed the cup into his hands.
"I already drank one." I mumbled. "What should I do? I never drink!"
Yoongi laughs at me, "People don't come to clubs to drink responsibly." He leaned into me so I could hear him better. "Why'd you come here if you're not going to have a good time?"
I felt him push the cup back to me and I took it.
"C'mon chug it!" He said. I looked into the cup, it was already half empty but still...
"No! You do it."
"Fine, wait here." I watched him as he pushed his way through the crowd just to buy himself the same drink as me. I stood awkwardly, tapping the side of my cup wondering if I should make my grand escape. But he was right, I came here to have a good time. I wanted to come here to drink and socialize and that is what I'm going to do.
"Okay, mines all the way full so don't be a pussy." He said when he came back. "On the count of three, we'll chug together. One, two, three!"
I closed my eyes and took multiple gulps of the bright blue liquid. It was so sweet but I could feel the burn in my throat as it went down in quickly.
When I finished, Yoongi was still going and I watched in awe as he swallowed so fluidly. Without a single cough, he put down his cup.
"Oh man, that was rough. I don't know how you fucking drink this sugary syrup shit." He winced.
I laughed at his pain this time. "Mmtastes good." My words slur and I can feel the alcohol starting to hit me hard.
"You're so cute." He says with a smile as he licks his plump lips. "Are you tryna to get outta here?" He asks.
I look at him confused, "No, I'm trying to stay here. I don't want to go anywhere. It's fun talking with you."
I love the sound of his little chuckle, "Whatever you say No-last-name Jimin."
After that interaction, my memory started to haze. I don't remember anything else afterwards, except for the fact I've forgotten about Jungkook and was basically clinging onto Yoongi the rest of the night. I was infatuated by this mint hair dude who was just as cool as his hair color.
I've told myself before that I wouldn't leave my trace here but it'll be okay as long as nothing between us happens. It'll end all tonight and I'll never see him again so I made sure to take the time to stare longingly at his beautiful face.
I'm hoping that after tonight, I'll forget him and he'll forget me and I'll finally be back to perfect Christian boy Park Jimin tomorrow.
