The plan was to meet at some frat party being hosted by some guy from the swim team named Jackson. You were apparently the only person on the entirety of the college campus who didn't know who this man was, but after some convincing and mentioning that Mingyu would possibly be there Vernon, Seungkwan, Soonyoung, and Dokyeom had managed to get you away from your studies, dressed slutty, and on the way to said party.
Of course you didn't really want to go and of course you weren't going just because Mingyu might be there, you were going for your friends and because you have agreed to anything from murder to robbery if it meant getting you away from the stupid 20 page paper you had been working on for five hours.
As soon as your Uber pulled up in front of the house, the boys could tell you were already ready to go back to the paper, but dragged you out of the vehicle anyways. The party had technically started an hour or two ago and was definitely in full swing. Random furniture and empty solo cups littered the front yard, the loud music could be heard clearly from the edge of the lawn, and you were quickly realizing that there were so many people inside of that one frat house, that even if Mingyu was there, you weren't going to be finding him any time soon.
It didn't take more than five minutes of being in the crowded house to lose Verns, Hoshi, Seokmin, and Boo, which left you stranded in a sea of drunk strangers. You quickly made it your mission to find a less crowded area and for once you were glad that you had some extra weight to you as it made getting through the crowd a little easier.
After what seemed like ages you found the kitchen, which to your dismay was just as crowded as the living room. Some random boy handed you a full drink as a girl dragged him back towards the front of the house. You looked around incredulously, but the anxiety was getting to you, so without thinking too much you down the contents of the cup with fervor. Setting the cup on the already cluttered counter and leaving the kitchen, you were ready to give up, when you looked over and spotted a staircase. The relief washed over your body as you headed towards it speedily.
Once you were up the stairs, you were greeted with a pretty spacious walkway that extended to both the left and right. This was all beginning to feel like a choose your own adventure game and you really didn't want to play, regardless you headed left. You stumbled upon the bathroom and a few doors down you found an empty lounge room. It was dimly lit and was probably the cleanest area in the whole house. You couldn't help the sigh of relief that left you as you walked inside and closed the door quietly. Just as you sunk down onto the couch, you heard someone clear their throat and all but shot up through the ceiling.
The person laughed and you looked over with a glare only to meet the gaze of Mingyu.
"I would say that I apologise for scaring you, but the look on your cute little face was priceless."
You couldn't help but pout, "I did not think it was that funny," you grumbled, "what are you doing in here anyways?"
"Well, they were starting to play Never Have I Ever in the room down the hall, I didn't feel like playing, so I was leaving the room when I saw you slip in here and I was like hmm Gyu, maybe you should go bother her and so here I am to do just that."
His smile was blinding even through the darkness of the dimly lit room, "Why are you in here all alone? Especially dressed like that..." Mingyu's sentence trailed off as his eyes raked up and down your ample body.
All of the sudden you were more self conscious than before, "Well, I, the boys pulled me away from my paper, they picked out this outfit," you grumbled, "and then before I knew it, I was at this party and they were nowhere to be found. So I needed to get away from the crowd."
He walked towards you, stopping only a foot away, "I'm surprised you agreed to come, you don't seem like the party type." Mingyu's eyes bore into you as you tried to avoid eye contact.
"I'm not," you cleared your throat, "the party type I mean. I just came so they'd leave me alone, plus y'know I thought maybe I'd be pleasantly surprised," your voice came out as a whisper, "or that I'd see someone or something."
A smirk formed on Mingyu's face at your small admission, "Well were you?"
You looked up at him, "Huh?"
"Pleasantly surprised," He shrugged and then stepped closer, "or did you happen to see that someone?"
Now you were only inches apart and you were trying to remember how to breathe properly, "Oh, well, pleasantly surprised? Not at all. This party is actually worse than I thought it would be." You were once again looking at the floor to avoid his eyes, but he wasn't having it. Seeing your flustered face was proving to be very amusing.
His thumb and index finger meet your chin, lifting your head so as to make you look into his eyes, "So you did see the person you were looking for?"
Your face was instantly in flames, in fact, the whole room was hell and you were more in it than you ever thought you would be, "Y-yea, I did." Your voice comes out as almost a whimper and you begin thinking about how you wish you were two people so that the other version of you could punch version one in the face.
Mingyu chuckles and drops his hand, he turns around and heads for the door. When you don't follow after him, he smiles to himself and turns around, his hand already on the door handle, "Well, c'mon babe, let's get out of here."
Your eyes widen, but you nod and hurry after him.
As you two are leaving, Vernon, Dokyeom, Seungkwan, and Soonyoung, catch a glimpse of you both walking out the front door. They watch as you disappear through it with Mingyu and Vernon groans.
"You were the one who told her that he would be here," Hoshi says, patting him on the back.
"Uhm, actually," Seungkwan's hand came to rest on his hip, "That was you Soonyoungie."
Dokyeom laughs heartily and Vernon only groans louder, "That boy is gonna break her."
"It'll be fine," Dokyeom slurs a bit and they all look at him.
"Maybe you should stop drinking," Soonyoung warns, but the other boys protest.
"No, that just means we need to drink more!" Seungkwan smiles goofily.
Vernon nods slowly, "After seeing that, I definitely need more to drink."
Vernon pulls his phone out of his pocket and sees that you texted him. He smiles. At least he knows you're physically safe. And that is the last time they worry about you that night, as they dissolve back into the party.
While they are getting shit faced, you are trying to bite back all of your nervousness as you ride shotgun in Mingyu's black sports car, on the way to god knows where, his large hand resting on your large thigh.
He looks over to you with his beautiful lopsided smile and you can't help but smile back, "Where to kitten?"
Mustering all of the courage you can, you reply, "Wherever you wanna take me."
His tongue runs across his bottom lip as he looks from the road to you and back again.
"I like that you trust me so much already," he purrs.
You roll your eyes, "Don't make me regret it Gyu." You don't know where the confidence is coming from, but you are thankful for it.
He chuckles and rolls down the windows, his hand moving from your thigh to turn the radio up and then coming right back, only this time a little higher than before.
You try to remain calm as your hair whips around in the wind, the stars cover the sky like a blanket and you surprisingly feel comfortable, even in your nervousness.
