Hit Me with Your Best Shot

Youngmi grabs his wrist. "Nuh-uh. You promised."

He groans.

"We'll stay close to the table," she vows, tugging on his arm. "Come on."

Sungmin lets out another groan but complies. We get on the dance floor where I can guarantee that I'm in Hoseok's sight of view. I sway my hips to the song, letting everything go and engulfing myself in the music. 

"God damn, Audaire!" Youngmi hypes me up. "I didn't know you could move like that!"

I dance with her for a song and then move on to Jaehwa for the next. The five of us eventually regroup for a few songs. We're completely feeling ourselves and others seem to perceive that as well.

A man with dark blue hair approaches, pulling me away from my friends. "Hey, there. I was watching you dance and thought you were really good," the stranger compliments me. "What's your name, beautiful?"

"Audaire."

"That's pretty," he imparts. "I'm Byungwook."

"Ah, that's nice," I respond, trying to show that I'm not interested and would rather be dancing.

"Where are you from?"

"The U.S. Ohio, specifically."

"Oh, wow. I've always wanted to visit the States," says Byungwook. "Do you wanna go out for a smoke together?"

"Why? We can smoke in here."

"Right," he laughs awkwardly. "Well, I'll, uh, let you get back to your friends."

"'Kay, bye!" I wave him off.

Returning to my friends, I ask if we can take a break. They agree, and we relax at our table again. I peek at my phone. A triple text from Hoseok.

Hobi: I saw that guy talking to you. You didn't even give him the time of day, did you?

Hobi: Good girl.

Hobi: You know who you belong to.

I bite my lip at his message. He always knows what to say to make my cheeks redder than a tomato.

Our drinks are long gone by now, so we form a plan to go to the bar again. But before we can, a drink is delivered to our table.
