Part 9: Eye Contact

Jungkook put his glass down, on the Glass table, in front of us and suddenly leaned over and held my hand

It was the least expected action.... My heart was banging against my ribs
He would have been able to hear my heart beat, if the loud music hadn't helped, to dissolve it.

"Cute.....",
Jungkook muttered

"Huh?", I asked subconsciously, not understanding what he meant

"It's cute how your hands are so small", he chuckled.

I am sure, I had turned into a tomato, by then.

"T-Thanks..", I replied, laughing nervously
I looked up to find Jungkook directly staring at my face.

We made eye contact.

His eyes were mysterious. I wasn't able to read them. I didn't know, what he was thinking...
A part of me wanted to know what he was thinking... What he thought of me...

"Yo, what did I miss?",
Hwasa cautiously walked over, balancing two glasses of Alcohol, on each hand.
She sat beside me and handed me a glass.

"Nothing much", Jungkook replied looking over, at me.
I looked down and started playing with the hemline of my dress nervously.

Hwasa and Jungkook were having a random conversation, as I was sitting quietly and looking around, and sometimes listening to them, even though I was clueless of who they were talking about.

But this one particular name, They were bringing up several times was 'Karina'.

"C'mon, drink up already!", Hwasa cheered me up suddenly
And slid the glass of drink, on the table, closer to me.

I picked it and had a sip.
I coughed and made a nauseated face.... It was my first time drinking... But I still had more sips

"It must be your first time drinking..", Jungkook asked.

"uh Yes.."

"Then take it easy, no need to drink it, if you don't want to"
Jungkook sounded concerned

15 mins had passed, and we were having a pleasant conversation, though I was the one talking the least. Hwasa really did brush away the awkwardness.

I was quite comfortable, but nausea had hit me already
'I just had a few sips..', I thought to myself.
I was sure, I was feeling sick because of the alcohol.

I am terrible at drinking.

Being unwell, I was getting distracted...
The loud music and bustling was making me feel even more sick.

I wanted some fresh Air.
