"we need to match clothing?" yerim questions when jeongguk personally brings her the dress she will be wearing. he was already dressed and she may or may not spent a few seconds staring at him. her nails were painted black and irene had given her a few rings to make her slender fingers look expensive.

jeongguk nods, "you're my date and this is an important event." he says fixing his hair on the mirror. he usually attends alone while irene and taehyung wear matching clothes, but yerim was the perfect woman to take as his date.

"i need you to leave so i can change." she orders, pointing at the door with a sarcastic smile. the two hold eye contact for a few seconds until the leader rolls his eyes and exits the room.

the black and white dress reaches mid thigh and the black pumps she was given to wear make her legs look amazing. "guess i should do my makeup now." she mumbles standing in front of the vanity in her room.

—————

"well you clean up well." jeongguk says as the two stand in front of the huge glass doors. he's side eyeing the petite woman next to him and a smile forms on his lips.

yerim thanks him with a cheeky grin and when jeongguk gives the man who opened the door his name they're let it immediately.

"sir any particular drink?" the waiter asks as soon as they step foot inside. he has an earpiece attached to him and jeongguk inspects it discreetly.

jeongguk shakes his head without saying a word and pulls his date along with him. they stop in front of a bar and he orders himself a drink and yerim a glass of water. "only drink a third of it." he demands. if the drinks were drugged by drinking only a third of it you don't feel the affect.

she rolls her eyes but only takes a sip. "i could be swimming with hyunjin or having a spa day with irene if it wasn't for this stupid party where by the way i feel like i wore too much clothing compared to the girls here." yerim looks around the room and then down at her outfit.

he picks up her chin and the two hold eye contact. "class radiates you, gorgeous." his lips near her cheek and before she can comprehend what was happening the older male was pulled away from her.

a gorgeous man appears next to them and jeongguk's face shows annoyance at first. "i didn't know you were capable of getting something this beautiful." he says, as he eyes yerim up and down.

jeongguk stands in between them and pushes his friend away from his date. "nice to see you, mingyu." he drags the male away after informing yerim he'll be back in ten.

as the blonde girl stands around a room full of strangers she goes in search for a bathroom. the space was making her uncomfortable with all of the stares she was receiving by both genders.

"hi do you know where the restroom might be?" she asks a servant. the woman points upstairs then says to turn right and it'll be the third door. after thanking her, yerim makes her way upstairs.

she knocks on the door, but it was occupied. after fifteen minutes go by it was still in use, so she goes back downstairs and begins to search for jeongguk. things were not going smoothly after what felt like forever she finds the male surrounded by women and men. should she call for him? go to him? yerim shakes her head and turns to leave he was clearly having fun.

an arm wraps around her small waist, but the familiar cologne has her body calm down. when she turns she's met with the brown orbs she's gotten surprisingly use to.

"you belong next to me all night." he smiles. jeongguk grabs her hand and the two walk back to where he was. they take a seat on the white leather couch and he takes off his suit jacket to cover her legs.
