Chapter 1

Jungkook

I sat down on my comfortable bed as I listened to the people outside my apartment drone on and on why I should go outside for my 24th birthday, they are all saying that it would be good if I were to go out with them. My friends have planned a whole night of fun and games especially it is my birthday, they all wanted me to enjoy my last years as a youth as much as I can but I simply don't want to.

They wanted me to go out with them to go clubbing as part of a package for my birthday and they promised that it would be fun and I would enjoy it. Well, the answer is no.

There is a lot of women in there and they are all yearning to find a guy to date there, it would be very easy for them to flirt with the girls but it wouldn't be as easy for me since I have a fear of getting close to them.

"Jungkook-ah, I promise that I will drag you out if you are not feeling well. I will, I promise that I will." A booming voice sounded outside. "It is fun and it is one of the things that you should do as an adult, you should at least try it once."

For someone like me, it is considered very exhausting for me to enter a nightclub knowing that there will be a lot of females in there and I would feel threatened.

"Are you going to stay single for the rest of your life? If you are, better stay in there and never come out of your bunny home." Another voice answered. "You need to find love, that's what you have said to me. That is one step for you to find your match if you want to. I found my girlfriend there and we dated for quite some time before we broke up."

That's not really a good thing to boast about...

I have tried multiple ways to find love on my own throughout my entire life, I tried setting myself up for blind dates online and by my mother's recommendation where she dug out photos of various girls from the ages 21-29 and I don't like any of them.

I also cancelled blind dates as the dates come closer, I have never gone out with any of the girls that I have met on the online dating app, I was afraid that they might turn out to be someone completely different from their online personalities.

"JungKook-ah, open up, please... If you don't want to find any girls, then do it for yourself. We want you to have fun genuinely and not lock yourself up on your birthday doing nothing but to climb into your bed and cuddle into your bedsheets." The deep voice bellowed, this time a little softer as he speaks to me in a more sincere tone.

Right, because of my phobia, I have become someone that I didn't want to be. Because of my phobia, I have resorted myself to locking myself into the room all the time when I am not working. The only places that I will be at are either the company or my apartment, you will never find me anywhere else.

Because of my phobia, I have avoided all kinds of interaction between me and the other woman except for my own mother. Because of my phobia, I have become someone who runs away at the sight of a woman who is normally harmless if you don't make them angry.

I mustered up enough courage to get out of my bed and walked myself to the door to open the door for them to enter my territory, a place that I don't normally open up to people to come in. They are so far one of the people that have access to my place other than my own family.

"Jeon JungKook, open up the door or I'm going to--" The door was opened and I witnessed Park JiMin trying to do something weird, his hands are clenched into fists and it seems that he is trying to knock down my door.

"What are you trying to do, Park JiMin? I told you that I gave you the access to my place but it doesn't mean that you can do anything at my door."

His fists relaxed. "What? I wasn't trying to do that--"

"He was trying to do just that, your majesty." Kim TaeHyung answered on his behalf and he got elbowed by the man next to him. "He was all shouting about him kicking down your door if you don't come out."

"But I came out, didn't I?" The two of them nodded. "Help me find clothes to wear for my birthday."

Park Jimin beamed in delight and skipped happily into my apartment, never forgetting to take off his shoes first. Kim TaeHyung did the opposite instead, he made his way inside but he took forever to make his way to the closet where most of my ironed clothes are inside.

His eyes were focused on the piles of clothes that are not ironed yet, I have only brought them in this morning. "I thought that you didn't want to go because there are going to have a lot of females there, don't tell me that you are going to a gay nightclub?"

"Hell no, I'm not attracted to people of the same sex and I want to have a peaceful time there, not to get picked up by the people there. I just want to have a few drinks and then go home when I'm enough."

"Then a bar would work better for someone like you, it is quieter there and we are able to hold conversations there without much disrupting from anyone. And in there, people are much more reserved, especially the women, they are just there to gossip about everything and then they will leave after they are done with it." Park JiMin suggested as he picks up a blue buttoned shirt from the closet. "Does it sound better for you, Mr Birthday boy?"

I slowly nodded, agreeing with Jimin that a bar is in many ways better than a nightclub except for the alcohol, it is still going to be served but it is much more reserved and less wild. "What about you, TaeHyung?"

"A bar is good, I'm going to order their strongest cocktail there. Who's with me for a drinking battle?" Jimin nodded and raised his hand. "Then you would have to drive us home, JungKook."

"But I thought that I am the birthday boy?"

"Not after midnight, you are still going to be Jeon JungKook after your birthday has passed and you have awesome driving skills."
