"Wanna dance?"

Jimin asked me hesitantly stretching his arm towards me and locking eyes with me.

"Sure." I reply and put my hand into his.

He guides me to the dance floor where we face each other, our bodies starting moving to the music. Being in the middle of the dance floor and feeling secure because of all the other dancing people beside me, I loosen up. I let my body move to the rhythm and so does Jimin, who puts his hands on my waist, bringing me closer to him, allowing me to put my hands around his neck.

At one point the song one kiss by Dua Lipa comes up, the summer beat inviting even more people to join the dance floor and sing along. Pressed together, Jimin's face was only a few inches away from mine.

"One kiss is all it takes." sings Jimin with a smile plastered on his face. If it wasn't for the loud music, he would definitely be able to hear my heartbeat.

"Falling in love with me." I continue staring at his gorgeous eyes. The butterflies in my stomach dance along with me and him, making me almost feel ecstatic, having had a few drinks. What is happening?

"Possibilities.." Jimin whispers and locks his eyes in mine.

Suddenly I'm drawn a few feet back into the crowd, losing eye contact with Jimin. Turning around, I'm met with two eyes full of lust and and swollen lips from all the alcohol consumed.

"Missed me?" Yoongi whispers in my ears, voice rusty lingering in my ear. The smell of vodka hits my noise making me frown.

"Are you drunk?" I ask him in a serious tone, still dancing to the music.

Jimin was nowhere to be seen. Contrary to that, I was met with dozens of eyes on us two dancing. Seems like people are really interested in my relationship with Yoongi. I can't quite decide if being invisible, like I used to be, is actually better than being the center of everyone's attention, like Yoongi.

On the other hand, he's exactly who I aspire to be. Strong, confident, tough, popular. Being with him could actually contribute to me becoming more like him. Although there are definitely times that his popular self clashes with my introverted character. Then there's is Jimin. He's shy and self conscious but really sweet. I don't want to admit it, but I feel a stronger connection to him that Yoongi. But, he's exactly what I'm running away from. Despite the fact that his embrace feels more normal, warmer than that of Yoongi, it also makes me feel like I'm making no progress, that it's a setback for me, that he is a setback for me.

Besides, Yoongi makes my heart flutter too.

"I did" I reply in a flirtatious way, my hands making their way to his minty hair and ending up on his shoulders.

"You're my date, right?" He asks me, as if asking for reassurance.

I chuckle in reply and take a sip from Yoongi's drink, my eyes never leaving his, something that evidently made him all hot and bothered. Biting his lips aggressively, he huffs and grabs the drink from my hands, handing it to a guy near him.

"Fuck it." He breaths out and cups my head with his long cold fingers smashing his lips into mine.

Taken by surprise, it takes me some time to realize what is finally happening. It feels odd, but my adrenaline is so high, my vision so blurry, and the sound of the music so intoxicating that I respond, letting him lead me, as our tongues fight for dominance, a battle that I pleasingly lose. My hands travel to his minty hair again slightly pulling it back to gain access to his pale neck. Despite being completely unexperienced, I recall all teen movies I've watched with Jess on a Saturday night at my place instead of going out, and gently land some kisses on his neck. A moan escapes his parted lips, urging me to suck harder on his white skin, leaving marks full of lust.

My lead doesn't last long, as Yoongi suddenly strengthens his hold on my waist with his arms, bringing me extremely close to him, to the point I could feel his warm body on mine, and brings his attention back to my lips, biting my lower one. His cold metal lip piercing was dancing between my lips, whereas his warm tongue was engulfing every corner of my mouth.

This was heaven. I had no idea what I had been missing out all this time I never had the courage to talk to a guy, be confident. This was another proof that Yoongi was indeed the best choice I could have made. Pulling back to catch our breaths, me and Yoongi stare at each other smiling, while the rest of the students were clapping and whistling, praising us. Once the adrenaline was lowered, I instantly felt ashamed of what I had just done in front of so many people, covering my face with my hands, and burying it in Yoongi's chest. To be honest, I always imagined my first kiss more.. Intimate and special. But it's okay, right? It's just a kiss.

"What are you all waiting for? Let's get this party started!" Shouts the minty haired boy next to me and people start screaming in response.

"You know, I'm going outside, I need some fresh air" I whisper in his ear. He nods and rushes to the kitchen to grab one more drink.

The moment I step outside I spot not other, but Jimin, sitting at the porch on his phone, again, and looking as if something was bothering him. He was alone.

"Hey." I approach him smiling and stand in front of him.

He raises his head to meet my gaze, and once realizing who I am, he scoffs and turns his attention to his phone once again.

"Did you have fun?" He says sarcastically, his eyes still glued on the screen.

Did I hurt his feelings? But how? I never gave him the impression that I like him more as a friend at school. Sure, this past week I spent more time with him than Yoongi, and I enjoyed being with him, but it was still always about me and Yoongi. I mean, everyone had noticed that there was an attraction between me and him and everybody talked about us, Taehyung, Jungkook, Namjoon and their friends included.

"What's up with you?" I answer bluntly, being confused.

"No, what's up with you." He replies now looking up to me, pointing at my direction.

"One moment you're dancing with me, and the other I see you all over Yoongi, giving him hickeys." He laughs bitterly. "What do you find so appealing to him, Gyllene? You don't even seem half as happy with him as you are when we are together." He continues. "I don't understand."

"Jimin, you've only known me for a week." I reply, perhaps sounding harsher than I intended to be. "You're a good friend.  I'm sorry if I gave you false hopes, but I like Yoongi". I say trying to sound reassuring.

I like him, I think. And yes, perhaps me and Jimin share more interests, like dancing or watching anime, but Yoongi is a good guy that has helped me meet new people and be less self conscious. Yes, sometimes I feel uncomfortable around him, but that doesn't bother me, because he's the right choice.

"Are you guys coming in or what?" Jungkook suddenly almost yells at us, his head tilting behind the opened door.

Without sparing me a single glance, Jimin gets up and head for Namjoon's house, where the music was still loud, alcohol was still being consumed, and a certain someone was waiting for me.
