Young Forever『Section 21』

Young Forever『Section 21』

I paced around the living room, anxiously biting down on my fingers. It was past midnight and I didn't want to trouble the CEO any further. More like I didn't want to trouble myself any further. Suddenly a light bulb lit over my head, dropping an idea into my head.

"Namjoon? Could you do me a favor and pick me up", I knew he was awake, probably partying somewhere in Seoul.

"Yeah, where?".

And like that, I was able to slip out of the beast's castle, forgetting to return his shirt.

******

"Bye Namjoon, have a good night", I closed his car door, and started walking up the stairs towards my apartment.

Namjoon didn't question my outfit and nor did he ask why I was at the CEO's house. In fact, he didn't say a word. Maybe it was for the better, because I didn't feel like explaining myself to him when I didn't even have an explanation for myself.

I didn't get a wink of sleep that night.

******

"There's a company party coming up?", I asked Jungkook, hovering my mouse over the email on my computer screen.

"Oh you mean the infamous 'One And One Thousand Nights' event?", he replied, leaning his slender hips against my desk.

I nodded, looking up at him, taking a sip of my tea. Everything about the party seemed great and all, but there was one part that wasn't sitting quite right with me. In bold at the bottom of the invitation read,

 "Make sure to bring a date!".

"Do you have to go with a date?", I groaned, leaning back into the chair, running my hands through my hair.

"Of course you do! You'll look like a joke without a date", Hoseok made his way over to our side, propelling himself on his swivel chair.

"Or you don't have to attend, like me", Yoongi yelled from across the room. I rolled my eyes, ignoring his comment.

"Hey Jin, is it ok if I leave after lunch, I have some other work to do", I asked him, who was beside me, grabbing a handful of papers into his arms.

"Since you're ahead with your work, I'll let you go", he said, pushing up his glasses with his index finger.

I smiled at him with gratitude. Seokjin was actually a really good guy, whoever his other half was, they were really lucky. He treated us like his kids and made sure we were doing well before himself.

A buzz in my pocket awoke me from my deep thoughts. I checked the notification and it was exactly who I expected.

"From Jimin.

You may or may not be asked out to the party".

Like my heart had been ripped out of my chest, his text took me by surprise. 

It was Taehyung.

 From my knowledge, anyone who Taehyung takes with him is always high class. Not that I wasn't, but at the moment I wasn't looking for that kind of attention.

*******

Lunch was over and my efforts to get Yoongi to come to the party were currently failing. I really needed him to help me out this once, and I knew he didn't have anyone in mind either.

"Please, can you go with me. I have no one to go with", I wailed, clutching on to his arm like my life depended on it.

"No is a no. Why do you want to go to that sh*tty party anyways", he scowled at me, turning the corners of his lips down.

Because I don't want to go with the f*cking CEO!

As we walked into the lobby of the vast office, I could see a notorious pair of boys, walking straight towards me. Occupied with my own problems, I failed to notice Anha sitting in one of the chairs, and Jimin eyeing her like a fresh piece of meat.

Since Yoongi wouldn't go with me, I needed to find someone else who would go with me. Jin and Hoseok already had girlfriends and Yoongi didn't want to go. Scanning the lobby, I locked my eyes on my target.

"Jungkook, can you be my date?", I asked, walking over to him. For some reason, I knew he would accept, which is exactly why he had become my target.

"Of course I could Mina", he smirked, engulfing me into a tight embrace.

"Thanks", I whispered to him, so he was the only one who heard.

"No problem", he whispered back, just as softly as I did.

Withdrawing, I turned around to face the scariest sight I had seen in my whole life. I was the only one who was noticing it while the rest were too occupied with teasing Yoongi that he would be missing out on the fun.

From Jimin's expression behind the devil himself, I knew I f*cked up. Taehyung looked like he would devour me whole, leaving no mercy. His eyes were ten shades darker than they usually were and his breathing was deep.

And in the spur of the moment, his hand darted out to enclose on a passing woman's wrist.

"You're my date for tomorrow night", he looked at the random women he pulled out from the crowd. However, this was no random woman, this was someone I hated to the core. This was someone who went as far as sending me to the hospital. The same one who opened past wounds.

It was the demon herself, Vanessa Huang.
