"Y/N!"

You turned, already grinning widely, as your best friend bound up to your side.

"Jennie!" You hollered back, opening your arms for her to inevitably crash into.

She did, and you both stumbled, giggles filling the air.

Sometimes it hurt to be this close to her. She was your best friend, yes, but you felt something more for her than that. Something that you wished she'd feel for you, but you knew she didn't.

Shaking off these thoughts, you stepped away from her embrace and readjusted your backpack straps. "How was class?"

She wiggled her eyebrows, and you were already groaning before she even said, "Didn't go."

"Finals are in three weeks," you reminded her.

She shrugged, flipping her long dark hair over her shoulder. "So? Come on, we gotta get ready."

Another groan, much louder than the last, slipped out, and you said, "I totally forgot you wanted me to go to that stupid party." A firm slug to your shoulder earned a slight gasp, and you cried, "I'm kidding! I just wish it wasn't so close to finals."

She tsked her tongue, and you refrained from rolling your eyes. Jennie was a member of a girl group in the college with three others, and they were performing at a frat party tonight. You had pointed out how stupid it was to sing at something like that, of all places, but she wouldn't have it.

"Have a little fun, Y/N," she chided, already walking away. "Come on, I already know what you're going to wear."

You jogged to catch up. Of course you wouldn't miss her performance for the world - you loved watching her rap and sing. Though...sometimes you got a little jealous of her bandmates. You knew it was stupid, but sometimes Jennie was a little too touchy with Lisa, and Rose's eyes lingered a little too long, and Jisoo's hand should not be gripping that tightly onto Jennie's.

But Jennie wasn't your girlfriend, as much as you wished she was, so it wasn't fair to think like that. If you were going to wimp out of every opportunity you got to tell her how you felt, then you had to deal with the consequences...

"Yo,Y/N," two fingers snapping in your face brought you back, and Jennie straightened with a flash of cockiness in her eyes. "You with me?"

"Y-yeah," you said, clearing your throat.

She nodded, already over it, and grabbed your hand. "Come on, let's go to my dorm."

You wordlessly obeyed, letting her tug you along. When Jennie got her mind set on something, there was no way that thing wasn't going to happen. So, you were going to a frat party tonight, and she was picking out your outfit. Which meant you would be in a too-short skirt and a crop top.

Sure enough, that's exactly what she gave you. At your raised eyebrows, she threw up her hands and insisted, "Come on, Y/N, you look hot in this stuff." Her eyes traveled down a bit, hovering over your chest, before making their way back up to your face. They were suddenly hooded, and your heart pounded in your chest. "I could just eat you up, you know?"

"Uhh," you coughed, trying to hide your blush, "sure, Jennie."

Just like that, the spell was broken, and she turned and pulled her shirt off over her head. You flicked your eyes away, but not before catching a glimpse of her dark purple bra. It was enough to make your brain grind to a halt, and, red-faced, you changed into your own outfit.
