Chapter 9

Your point of view:

''Eun Ji-ah!''

I look one last time at my reflection in the mirror while my friend is knocking at the door, getting impatient.

"Yes, I'm coming! Just give me a minute." I answer him.

"How come I had the time to arrive here, get ready and everything and you're still running in your room?"

"I know I'm sorry..." I tell him, taking my purse and checking if I have everything with me.

"Eun Ji-ah, if you're not here in ten seconds I'm leaving. Ten... nine..."

I hurry to the door and open it, "I'm here!"

Jimin is facing me, "Finally!"

He then looks at me from head to toe and takes my hand making me turn, "Wow Eun Ji! You look... perfect!"

"Really?" I ask unsure.

"Yes! Trust me!"

I smile relieved. I was so nervous wearing these fancy clothes and trying this new hairstyle.

"So where is my hug?" he asks with malicious eyes.

I hug him and thank him for his present.

"Did you really think I was letting you come as my plus one not looking amazing? I have a reputation to keep you know?"

I gently punch his shoulder but my good mood disappears when I think back of Jungkook's words from last night. *So he didn't buy you a dress for tomorrow's event so you could pretend to be a perfect little plus one?*

"What's wrong?" Jimin asks me when he sees my change of mood.

"I was just telling myself that Jungkook knows you better than I do."

He looks at me surprised, "What? Where is that coming from? Did he say something to you?"

I smile at him trying to look convincing, "No, nothing, we haven't talked."

He doesn't seem convinced so I try changing subject, "Aren't we going to be late? Sorry again for keeping you waiting, I lost track of time; I thought I had time to get ready after my episode."

Jimin opens his eyes even bigger and laughs, "Wait so you're saying that I was waiting for you because you had to watch a drama?!"

I answer embarrassed, "Yes, well no, but I had to know what was going to happen to the hero. Was he going to die by the hand of his best friend/enemy or would he be able to save the woman he loves even if he doesn't know yet that he loves her cause she's the sister of his enemy..."

My friend looks at me confused, "Wow, you're really something!"

"Oh and by the way, we're not late. I just said it to hurry you up. We still have time." he adds with a big smile.

I punch him again, not so gently this time, "JIMIN!"

I then take a look at him, "You look really handsome!"

He winks at me handing me my coat, "Don't I always?"

I sigh, "So young yet so narcissistic!"

"If you think I'm narcissistic wait till you see my friends; especially one of them."

"Wait, I'm meeting your friends tonight?" I ask surprised.

"Yes. Don't worry they're really nice people you'll see."

~.~

Jimin helps me out of the car and gives me his arm to hold it while we climb the stairs to enter the huge mansion.

As soon as we step into a large reception room we're greeted by a waiter who gives us two flutes of champagne.

We thank him and head closer to the stage.

"Our table is the one in the front. One of my friend texted me saying they were there already."

"Okay." I say getting nervous.

For some reason I don't feel comfortable here. I haven't been mingling with these people for the past ten years and to be honest I don't miss it.

Some of the guests are chatting, a drink in their hands, others are sitting at their table and some couples are even dancing.

"Ah, here they are!" my friend says smiling.

I turn to look at where he is pointing and see a young man waving at him, a huge smile on his face.

Two other men are sitting next to him but I can only see their backs.

When we approach the table the young man who was waving at us says in a cheerful way, "Jiminie!! How's our favorite New Yorker? Come sit next to me."

My friend laughs, "I missed you too Hoseokie-hyung."

The man then pulls the chair next to him and looks at me, "You must be Eun Ji! Nice to meet you! I'm Hoesok!"

"Hi! Yes my name is Ahn Eun Ji. It's nice to meet you." I answer, bowing my head.

He instantly makes me feel at ease.

"Hey, it's nice to finally meet you. We've heard a lot about you." says the man with blond hair.

He has this incredible charisma surrounding him. I can see he must be important.

"Not too much I hope." I tell him.

"Just enough don't worry. My name is Kim Namjoon."

The one sitting in the middle hasn't spoken yet. He's just looking at me smiling. He has dark brown hair, shiny eyes. Everything seems perfect about him; perfect nose, perfect lips. He's really elegant. He looks like an actor. I'm amazed by his beauty.

"Good evening miss, I'm Kim Seokjin but you can call me Jin." he says while showing his perfectly white teeth.

"You're so handsome!" I tell him without paying attention.

They all laugh while my cheeks turn red.

"You shouldn't say this to him, it won't help with his excessive narcissism." informs me Namjoon.

*Oh so this is the person Jimin was talking about. I kinda get why he is though.*

"What do you mean excessive? I can't help it if I'm so handsome." his friend says with a proud smile.

We all laugh this time.

As we talk I see a young man with black hair heading our way. There's something mesmerizing about him. I don't know if it's the way he walks or the beauty of his face despite his chill but he's really intriguing. As soon as his eyes meet mine I look away intimidated.

Once at reach he comes behind Jimin, puts his arm around his neck and ruffles his hair, "Jimin-ah! How was New York?"

My friend tries fixing his hair, angry, "Min Yoongi!!"

The black hair man behind him is now laughing and his gummy smile makes me forget the coldness I felt before.

"So, how many girls did you...? Hum... you know..." asks Namjoon.

It's Jimin's turn to become red, "Monie-hyung!!"

The one who still had his arm around Jimin's neck stands up, "Jimin-ah, come with me. I need a stronger drink and you need to tell me everything!"

I watch them leave and smile fondly. I had never seen him with his friends.

Hoseok comes closer to me and says, "It's going to be a conversation between pervs. Trust me you're not missing on anything. The only one who must feel left out is Joonie."

Jin and I laugh while Namjoon gets upset, "Stop saying I'm the pervert of this group! You guys are no better than me."

It just makes us laugh even more as the poor man's cheeks take a slight shade of pink.
