The party night.

I watched as Ae-ri released a perfect curl in my hair. I decided to switch it up and curl my hair. I had already done my makeup, which I decided to keep simple and I had already worn my dress.

"I'm nervous." I confessed. I watched her from the mirror as she furrowed her brows. "Don't be, you'll have fun, promise." She said as she ran her fingers through my curls.

"And all done." She said with a smile. "You look beautiful." She pouted. "We look beautiful." I corrected her.

"Okay, let's leave. Don't wanna be late for Namjoon." She said wiggling her eyebrows. I let out a chuckle. "Stop." I whined as we walked out my room.

"Bye girls, don't be out too late." My dad said as we reached the front door. "Don't worry, we won't!" I told him. Ae-ri grabbed her car keys and we made our way to her car.

"I'm so excited." She squealed as we got in. I smiled.

"Who's house is this?" I asked as I took in the mansion we just pulled up to. She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know." She said as she opened her car door. I followed after her.

"Don't leave me." I said with puppy eyes. I grabbed her hand. She playfully rolled her eyes and tightened her grip on my hand.

My eyes widened when we entered the house. It was even bigger from the inside, it was a shame all these teenagers were ruining it. My eyes roamed the place. The music was drowned by people's singing but the beats still made the floor vibrate. Color changing lights were in almost every corner and we couldn't forget the alcohol.

"Let's go to the bar." Ae-ri said and began pulling me towards the huge bar. We sat down at one of the stools and Ae-ri ordered some random things.

"Of course they all look hot." Ae-ri sighed as she spun around in her chair. I followed where she was looking and saw she was talking about jungkook and his friends. My eyes roamed each of them. They did look good. My eyes suddenly landed on jungkook. He was wearing black jeans and a red top with his first few buttons undone. My brows furrowed when I didn't see Namjoon.

"Mei, that guy has been staring at me since I got here. I'm gonna ask him to dance." She said placing her drink down. I smiled and nodded. "I'll be here." I told her.

"Mei."

"Hmm." I spun in my seat and saw Namjoon standing behind me. A smile appeared on my lips. "Did you just get here?" I asked him. He shook his head.

"I've been here the whole day. I actually prepared all this. With some help, of course." He smiled down at me.

"Oh. This is your house?" I asked him with wide eyes. He shook his head. "It's our boys hang out. We each have a room here and pay half the rent." He explained.

"That's cool, huh." I replied.

"You look beautiful, by the way." He said looking down at me. I felt blood rush to my cheeks. "Thanks."

"Oh, you can join them, I don't mind sitting here." I suggested. He shook his head and pulled a stool out next to me. "I want to get to know you better." He said as he sat down.

My eyes widened. "Me?" I let out a nervous laugh. "You'll soon find out I'm boring." I said with a small smile.

"I can do with boring." He said causing me to look up at him.

"Namjoon!"

We both looked in the same direction when Hoseok called his name. "Buy me a drink." He laughed.

"I'll be back." Namjoon sighed before standing up and walking over to them. I nodded and watched him as he made his way there. My eyes suddenly flickered to jungkook sitting beside jimin. He was looking right at me. Well, more like glaring. We held eyes contact before a girl broke it.

It was the same girl from the parking lot. He's been with her a lot recently. I watched as she moved his hands and sat down in his lap. He placed his hands on her lap and began running his fingers up her thigh.

It suddenly made me wonder what it felt like to be touched. I found it kinda embarrassing that I was eighteen and I still haven't had my first kiss.

"Mei! Over here!"

I looked up at Ae-ri who was waving her hand at me to come. I stood up and walked over to her. "Yeah?" I asked her.

She suddenly yanked my arm causing me to fall beside her. "We're going to play a game!" She exclaimed. My brows furrowed.

Few People started gathering around, along with jungkook and his friends. I smiled when Namjoon sat in front of me.

"Let's play spin the bottle!" Someone yelled. Everyone suddenly cheered. A random girl came forward and chugged her beer before placing it on the floor.

"Whoever the bottle lands on, they have to kiss. Regardless of gender." She explained. "Who's first?" She asked.

"ME!" Ae-ri exclaimed beside me. I looked at her wide eyed. She leaned forward and spun the bottle. My eyes followed the bottle till it stopped. I looked up at the person it landed on. It was the guy she was dancing with earlier. I watched as she crawled over to him and pressed her lips against his.

I watched in amazement how their lips moved in sync. They made out for about ten seconds before she pulled away. Everybody cheered and now it was time to spin the bottle again.

"Your turn, sweetheart." The girl said and passed me the bottle. I gulped and spun it. I watched as it moved in a fast circular motion. I felt my heart begin to race when it slowed down.

The bottle suddenly stopped and everybody made oooo sounds. My brows furrowed. I looked up and instantly made eye contact with jungkook.

I felt my mouth go dry.

"Uhh, I..."

"I need to pee." I said, standing.  Before anyone could say anything I pushed past people and speed walked as far away as possible. I looked up and saw a stair case. Deciding to take it, I walked up the stairs.

I paused when a strong breeze hit me once I reached the top. I turned to see a mini balcony. It looked so pretty.

I pushed the door more open and walked out to the balcony. It wasn't at that much of a height, but the breeze was nice. It relaxed my body.

I walked to the edge and leaned over the mini wall. closing my eyes I inhaled and smiled as the cold wind hit my face.

My eyes opened when I heard someone let out a sigh, interrupting my silence. I turned my head to see jungkook leaning against the wall. What? Did he follow me? I quickly leaned off the mini wall and was about to walk past him when he grabbed my arm.

"You owe me a kiss." He whispered.
