Park Soomi

As Jungkook and I arrived back at the house, we were welcomed by Misa's muffled shout from her room.

"Soomi? You back?" The door clicked open as Misa peeked out, her eyes lighting up as she saw us. "Yay, you're finally home! What do you think of this dress?" she suddenly asked, rushing towards us excitedly before holding up a red dress with a sheer lace top.

"Uhh, it's nice?" I answered with uncertainty, a bit concerned by Misa's overly excited state.

"I bet you'd look stunning in that," Jungkook commented.

"Hmm, you think so?" Misa shot him a beaming smile.

I raised my eyebrow as they continued staring at each other wordlessly, their unusual exchange leaving me both confused and uncomfortable. What's going on here?

"Well," she continued after clearing her throat, "this was supposed to be for Soomi, but we can find you something else to wear tonight, right?"

"Tonight?" I questioned with squinted eyes, though I already had my suspicions. And it sure wasn't something I was in the mood for.

"Mmhm, we're going clubbing. And before you say anything, yes, you are coming. Why? Because you desperately need it after you-know-what with you-know-who. And no, you can't use work as an excuse 'cause you've been working your ass off all week."

"But—"

"And it'll be totally safe 'cause Jungkook will come with us. Won't you, Jungkook?"

I glared with a faint scowl as she delivered a smug grin, knowing too well she had countered all of my possible arguments.

"I'm sure Jungkook has better things to do, right?"

"Well, how else is he gonna see me in this dress," she said before winking at him. Just like that, the uneasy feeling from before returned. I knew it was likely harmless flirting, but I couldn't help growing upset.

"There are more important things Jungkook has to do, like stay with Jimin. You remember Jimin, don't you, Misa?"

Misa tilted her head slightly, a puzzled expression on her face.

"Don't worry, Soomi," Jungkook said, "Jimin doesn't have any plans tonight. I'd love to come."

Misa's face quickly lit back up as her excitement returned.

"Perfect! Come on. We need to find something for you to wear. Can't lie, your closet's a bit tragic for the club scene. I checked. But I'm sure we can find you something!" she exclaimed before dragging me towards her room. I turned back to give Jungkook an irritated look, but all he did was respond with a playful smile as he waved me off to what I knew would be a painfully long couple of hours.

I fiddled with the hem of my dress while taking another sip of my drink. I impatiently waited for the alcohol to hit, desperately needing the extra push to get in the mood to unwind. But right now, the blaring music and flickering lights left my already cluttered mind pounding.

"Slow down with the drinks, Soomi. If you keep this up, I don't think I'll be able to handle you if you get too hammered," Jungkook joked as I moved to take another sip.

"You know, I just wanted to get a lil' buzzed, but maybe I should go crazy just to spite you," I said before sticking out my tongue. Okay, I'm definitely starting to feel it.
