"6:31pm," Jisung smiles and looks at me as I slide my only mildly fancy shoes on. By that I mean a pair of black pumps.
"Yeah, I'm being fashionably late Mr Romantic," I respond earning a chuckle from Jisung. "So is my outfit socially acceptable?" I twirl for him. My outfit isn't anything special, just a sheer black top with a black bra underneath and a pair of black jeans. Jisung has a bit more style than me, with a blue bomber jacket and a plain white t-shirt with a little black logo on what would be the pocket. He, like me, has a pair of black jeans on. For some reason he begins taking off and puts it on my shoulders.
"Now it's socially acceptable," he responds. "You're not showing as much skin." I smile at him as he shows me his heart shaped grin.
"Thanks," I say and slide his jacket over my shoulders. "Now I can be even warmer." Then it hits me. And a pain starts in my chest "I've just got to do something quickly." I grip my shirt as I go upstairs to distract me from the pain. I rush into my bathroom and pull open the cabinet. I fiddle the bottle open and pull one pill out. I shove it into my mouth and swallow even though I haven't drunk any water. I hear footsteps coming up the stairs, so I shove my pills back in the cabinet. I turn and smile at Jisung.
"Are you okay?" He asks looking concerned. I nod my head quickly and try to think of a bullshit excuse.
"I just realised I hadn't brushed my teeth," I tell him. It's the best thing I could come up with on short notice. "Let's go." I walk out and go down the stairs. He grabs my hand.
"If you're ill we can stay back," he offers.
"No I promise you I'm fine," I tell him and pull him down the stairs by the hand. We exit the house our hands still wrapped around one another's. I smile at the roses as we begin our venture towards the party.
"Yuna," Jisung says. I turn to him. "Can I have my hand back?" I look at him, then his hand, then him again.
"Shoot sorry," I say and untangle our hands. He chuckles again.
"Don't worry about," he smiles.
Like I predicted it takes 45 minutes to there. With the slow start we reach the party around 7:30pm, a lot of students have already begun piling into the room the party is in. I stand outside with Jisung. He knows our plan is to go in separately so that's what happens.
"See you later Yuna," he waves goodbye. "And look after my jacket." I wave him off and pull my jacket closer around my body. I wait around 5 minutes before I hear a familiar voice call out my name.
"Hey Yuna," says the guy. I turn around. It's Chenle, the guy I met earlier. He has a sweet smile blessed apon his cute face.
"Oh hi Chenle," I greet. He stands with me. I have to say, he doesn't dress badly even though his sense of style is not quite as good as Jisung's.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Yuna," he smiles.
"Neither did I," I respond. "Should we go in together?" He nods in respond, the whisker like dimple appearing in his cheek.
"Hang on, wait!" A voice shouts from behind us. I hear heels moving towards us like they're being ran in. Arms sling around mine and Chenle and a smiley girl is between us.
"Hey Rin," Chenle smiles at her in a similar way that he did to me. My heart twangs with jealousy. "You look nice."
"You too," she smiles at Chenle. "I'm loving the jumper, but aren't you going to get hot." I kind of feel upset but I'm not sure why.
"You look gorgeous too Yuna," Chenle tells me and my cheeks become a beacon of shyness . "So now we know we all look amazing let's go in." Chenle begins walking forwards but it ends up being Rin that pushes us to go faster.
Apon entering the party, alcohol swims up my nose. (A/N: it's set in the future when the boys are old enough to drink so don't worry) There's people I recognise from walking around the campus but I don't know them. People are smiling which is nice, however the amount of slut drops makes me cringe. I spot Jisung with a drink in hand and he's chatting to a couple girls, that clearly have bad intentions. He must notice me staring at him as he smiles slightly at me. Unfortunately the girls also notice.
"Who is she?" One of them asks looking at me. Jisung's gaze immediately looks at the floor before up at her eyes.
"Oh no one," he answers. It hurts a little, but it is what I asked him to do.
"You okay Yuna?" Chenle asks me. I look away from Jisung.
"Uh yeah," I say as I begin walking. "It's nothing."
"Good, 'cause I got us something to drink," Rin smiles cheekily. In her hands are three bottles of beer. For as much as I'd love to take one, my medication doesn't allow alcohol, or at least that much. Chenle takes it out of her hand and takes a sip before putting it down. She tries to hand the other one to me.
"No thanks, I don't like beer," I tell her. She sighs slightly and puts the bottle behind her.
"I still can't believe I'm here," Rin smiles. "I never thought I'd be able to make into Idol school."
"Neither," Chenle smiles. "What courses are you guys taking?"
"The main idol course," Rin replies. By that she means she's learning to sing, dance and act. Unlike me, I'm learning how to do makeup for them. It's pitiful in comparison.
"Me too," Chenle smiles softly. "What about you?"
Suddenly an arm slithers around my shoulders. I want to duck out underneath the strange arm. Yet I'm slightly relieved that I got to avoid the question.
"Hello ladies," one of the guys says. I lift his hand off my shoulder and give him a look of disgust. "Wow that's harsh."
"So is your face, it's hurting my eyes," Rin replies. "So move." She pushes the other guy off of her. I wish I had the enough strength to do that.
"You're not going anywhere miss," he pushes her against the wall we are standing next to and traps her under his arm.
"Seriously leave her alone," Chenle says holding the guy's shoulder.
"How about you leave us alone?" The guy who's arm was round my shoulder says.
"How about you shut the hell up?" I respond, I don't know where this energy and power has come from. A crowd is building up around us; I notice Jisung in the crowd, he looks concerned as if he's ready to jump in at any moment. I decide to make the most of it. I swing my foot up between the legs of the man cornering Rin. As he squeals in pain, the crowd cheers. I grab Rin and Chenle's hands and pull them out of the room into a different and then through that one too. On my way out I noticed Jisung smiling as if he had been laughing.
"Do you know how much trouble you got yourself into?" Chenle asks me. "Now they're going to be after you for the rest of the year." I hadn't thought of that.
"I'll be fine," I tell them, not completely believing it myself.
"Well I'm saying thank you," Rin smiles at me. "I'd probably still be stuck here."
Beginning of the year and I've already managed to mess things up...
