"Hey Tae!" Hoseok greeted his best friend. The brunet was standing in front of a house from which loud electronic dance music was playing. 

"Man, you look so good tonight, you're going to get all the attention." Hoseok joked with his friend, who chuckled awkwardly.

As soon as they stepped into the house, Taehyung recalled why he hated parties in the first place. Dim multicoloured lights flashed at random as some kids danced to the loud music with cups in their hands, while others talked with each other-or attempted to, over the loud music. A group of kids were playing beer pong at one side of the room. 

"I'm gonna go catch up with some friends and I'll be back," Hoseok yelled over the music. Taehyung nodded.

The blond stood awkwardly, leaning against a wall when he heard a familiar voice beside him.

"Taehyung! I haven't seen you at a party in a while. Where's your boyfriend?" Sasha teased, a drink in her hand.

"Who?" Taehyung asked, raising an eyebrow, even though he knew exactly who she was talking about.

"Jungkook."

Taehyung scoffed, looking away.

"I saw the way you looked at him in Chem class. You're absolutely smitten!" She laughed animatedly, her drink swishing about in her cup.

Taehyung shot her a look before walking away from her, not wanting to entertain her drunk self. Perhaps going to the party wasn't a good idea after all. He didn't feel like mingling with anyone. He never did. The only reason he agreed to come to the party was so that he could forget about-

Just then, the blond spotted a brunet among the crowd.

"..Jungkook?" Taehyung mumbled the name. He was the last person he would expect to see at a party.

Taehyung made his way through the throng of people, his mouth slightly open in shock, and finally reached the brown-haired male. He slowly turned the brunet around by his shoulder.

"-The fuck are you?" 

It was definitely not Jungkook.

"Uh, sorry. Thought you were someone else." Taehyung said, before awkwardly walking toward one of the sofas in the living room.

Once seated, he glanced at his watch, to see that it was only 10:17; and he was already ready to run out of there.

"Hello." He heard a female voice beside his ear. He turned to see a girl sitting next to him, her legs crossed, as she regarded him, taking in his features.

"Hey." 

She had long chestnut brown hair, which she kept tucked behind her ear on one side. Taehyung found himself comparing the shade of her hair to Jungkook's which in the blond's opinion was far superior. 

"You seem out of place." She said, chuckling.

"Yeah. This isn't really my scene." Taehyung said, shrugging lightly.
