"Wherever we go, my handbag is your waist."

•••

Most teenage parties are the same. They consist of drinking, girls dancing up against guys, guys passing out mostly anywhere, girls wearing the same things (short skirts, dresses and shorts) as if it's some sort of competition as to who shows the most skin, loud music and guys all trying to get at girls as a way of showing how dominant they are as a man.

"You know, you didn't have to pay for us."

"You've taken me out to eat many times. It's the least I can do. Plus, I can't help but think that your brothers were forced to come." I giggled as I watched the emotionless faces of his brothers who were sitting on one of the couches in the (what I assumed was) living room. Amy has sort of went MIA after she said she wanted go and check out the snack bar.

"They'll be fine." He chuckled. "They've been forced to go to worse things."

"I won't even ask." I joined in on his chuckle.

"You both came!" I turned towards the voice and saw Mina push her way through the crowd to reach us.

"Yeah, it appears so." I gave her a tight smile as I nodded my head slowly.

"And this must be.....?"

"Jungkook." Jungkook bowed his head slightly in a greeting form.

"Ah, Jungkook. Such a striking name for a striking man. I'm Mina. It's a pleasure to meet Y/N's significant other." She smiled to me.

"Oh, we're not exactly-" I was quickly stopped from completing the rest of my sentence when I felt Jungkook's arm slither around my waist nonchalantly from behind, gripping my side firmly.

"The pleasure is all mine, Mina." He smiled.

She looked down at his gesture and then back up at us. "Well, I hope you do enjoy the party while you're here. Just try to refrain yourself from extreme PDA."

"I can't make any promises." Jungkook laughed.

All that was heard from Mina's mouth was a small chuckle before she turned and disappeared into the crowd. When she was no longer seen, I turned only my head to look at Jungkook.

"What was that?"

"If I recall correctly, Mina is the one you don't associate yourself with. I also recall that she may be the one who put that note into your locker. She was obviously giving me the "fall for me" look. I'd rather have her think we're together than end up on any bed with her. Plus, I prefer things that aren't, you know, used."

"Jungkook! That's not nice." I pulled away from his grab while laughing.

"But you're laughing. So at least it's funny."

I smiled at him and then looked down.

"Well, thanks for doing that. I didn't exactly hate the feeling."
