Distant Euphoria

"Saeng il chuk ha ham ni da 

Saeng il chuk ha ham ni da

Sarang ha neun -- Naeun shi

Saeng il chuk ha ham ni da!"  

I sat up in my bed on this Saturday morning to all my roommates singing me a happy birthday... my 19th birthday.

I laughed at them and blew out my candles.

"Wow, thanks so much for remembering guys!" 

"You're special to us Naeun! Happy birthday-" Haley said handing me a small box.

"What's this?" I said playing with the rims of the red box.

"It's from all of us..." Sooyoung said holding onto Yeri's shoulders.

I opened the box to find a beautiful Cartier bangle bracelet. 

"Guys..." I said looking at all of them.

"It's beautiful... and too much... wow"

"You deserve it Naeun," Mae said hugging me on my bed. 

"Attack!" Sooyoung yelled as they all piled on top of me on my bed and we all fell into a fit of laughter.

After we talked for a while all the girls got up out of my bed and began to walk out. 

"Don't forget we have that BigHit celebration tonight at that night club, dress super nice!" Sooyoung said leaving the room.

"Yeah, they will also be introducing us as a group to the whole company, BTS and TXT will be performing and I think other companies have also sent their groups to welcome us!" Yeri said clapping her hands in excitement as she ran to her room to get ready.

I froze at the name of BTS.

I sighed and closed the door softly. 

I walked to my bathroom and took a long hot shower. 

"Glam team is here!" Haley yelled to all of us in our rooms. 

I threw on my robe after showering and walked out to the living room where it all became too chaotic.

When my makeup was done it was done super dramatic and different than I've ever done before with a bold red lip and they also painted my nails black. My stylist curled my hair and left my long locks down to be free.

"You're ready to get dressed Naeun," My stylist said bowing to me. 

"Thank you" I replied smiling at her.

I walked over to my room and my walk-in closet, I started to go through all my clothes when a small piece of paper fell out of my grey hoodie. 

"Hm?..." I bent over and grabbed it.

Jungkook's number.

It's been three months since we last saw one another. We haven't talked, texted, looked at each other... kissed.

I grabbed my chest feeling the physical pain of missing him and took a deep breath not to cry. I crumbled up the paper and threw it in the corner of the closet.

I quickly took my simple tight black dress off of the hanger and slipped it on. 

I put on my red heels and walked out to the living room still trying to compose myself. 

"Naeun are you okay?" Mae asked walking out of her room. 

She was in a beautiful tight white dress with long sleeves and her hair pulled up.
