The Bodyguard (A Monsta X Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty: Party Time

"Really?" Lilly looked at me, surprised.

"Yeah." I nodded as I took another drink of the Martini. "They're in a dance group."

I definitely wasn't going to tell them just how famous this group of boys were. They'd never leave us alone.

The waitress come over to take our orders. I ordered rib eye steak, just like I had planned to before we ended up at a bar. The rest of the guys ordered different things, some getting steak while others ordered fish. Lilly and Alex ordered salads.

As we waited for the food, I had to listen to their sad attempts at flirting.

"You're really strong Shownu, do you work out?" Alex asked him.

Shownu looked at me, not entirely sure what she had asked.

"She's asking if you lift weights." I translated.

Shownu turned to Lilly and nodded.

She took that as permission to feel up his biceps even more.

I was about to say something snarky, but my food showed up so I was distracted. I cut into the steak, enjoying that it was cooked to perfection. My Martini was empty now too, but I thought it would be a bad idea to get drunk. I needed to protect Monsta X from there horny girls.

I noticed Lilly was much more interested in Wonho's biceps than her food as well.

After everyone were done eating, they had all gotten through a couple drinks. I lost count of the amount of whiskies Hyungwon had. Wonho and Shownu, the ones I kept a steady eye on, had also gotten through quite a few beers. Minhyuk and Kihyun were stuck in conversation, so they weren't drinking all too much. They were only on their second mixed drinks. Jooheon and Changkyun were drinking slow too, more interested in their food. Lilly and Alex stayed worryingly sober.

Once our food was cleared, Lilly and Alex stood up suddenly and yelled, "Let's go dance!"

They dragged Shownu and Wonho out of the booth and onto the dance floor.

I watched, eyes narrowed.

'I can't let them get too far...'

"Who wants to go dance?" I asked the table, giving them my best smile.

"I'm kind of tired." Minhyuk confessed, Kihyun and Jooheon agreeing.

Hyungwon didn't respond, still sipping on his glass of Whiskey.

"I'll dance with you." Changkyun smiled at me, sliding out of the booth. I got up and followed him to the crowded dance floor. Wonho and Shownu had disappeared into the crowd, it was hard to find them. My eyes scanned the group as Changkyun tried to teach me some modern dance moves. The bar was playing Drake, of course. So everyone was hyped.

Changkyun was entertaining, so I ended up getting lost in dancing with him. I had been trained to be in these sort of situations where I would need to distract people or blend in. So I surprisingly had some rhythm.

I spotted Wonho and Lilly in the crowd, noticing that she was trying her absolute hardest to grind on him.

'Why is he even letting her do that?'

I tried to look for any signs of him being uncomfortable so I could step in and kick Lilly out, but Wonho seemed into it.

I started to feel myself getting jealous...

"I think... I want to get another drink." I smiled at Changkyun, grabbing his wrist to lead him back to the table.

I took Minhyuk's drink since he was distracted, downing it in one gulp.

It was probably a mistake to drink this much, but I couldn't help it.

I took Changkyun back to the dance floor. Beyonce was playing, her song Formation, and we both danced along. I spotted Lilly still dancing on Wonho and decide that two can play at that game.

'Why would he tell me that he liked me if he was going to do something like this?'

I didn't want to lead Changkyun on or anything like that, but he was the only person I knew on the dance floor. So I decided that I would grind on him. I could just say I was drunk later if it became a problem.

Changkyun tensed at first when I backed into him. But once he realized what I was doing, his hands slid down my side and grabbed onto my hips. He clearly was not experienced with a girl dancing on him and stood stiffly behind me.

"Y-you're pretty good at this." Changkyun stammered over the music.

'Smooth.'

I laughed, "Thanks."

After Changkyun started to loosen up, he danced along with me. I leaned back against his chest as the music got slower.

"You look really pretty tonight." Changkyun mutter in my ear.

I smiled.

I noticed Wonho across the room was now looking over at Changkyun and I. I felt a bit smug that he had noticed, I mean, I was trying to make him jealous after all.

After some time of dancing with Changkyun, I was dragged off the dance floor.

I laughed to myself. He was taking me to the back of the restaurant where it was more secluded.

'He's trying to take me somewhere private.' 

Changkyun must have felt braver after dancing with me. He was trying to get me alone.

Once I was pulled into an empty hallway, I was pushed against the wall, strong hands on my shoulders. I giggled, waiting for Changkyun to say something cheesey. I looked up to see...

"Hyungwon?" I muttered, surprised. He was visibly intoxicated, I'm sure the many drinks he had sucked down had finally caught up with him.

He stared down at me, eyes wavering a bit. He had to use his arms that gripped my shoulders to keep himself stable.

"Stop." He murmured, "Don't dance with other guys like that... it makes me..."

"Huh?" I asked, not sure I had heard him right.

Hyungwon leaned in closer, his head hanging a bit because he was drunk, "I don't like seeing you talk to other guys."

'He's totally drunk, he doesn't know what he's saying...'

I laughed, patting Hyungwon's shoulder, "Come on, let's get you some water." I ducked under his arm to walk back to the restaurant.

Did he eat enough? He got drunk so quickly.

As I was walking away, Hyungwon grabbed onto my wrist and pulled me back. I looked up at him, shocked by his sudden forwardness. I couldn't recognize this Hyungwon that was being so aggressive.

"Wait, I have to do this..." He muttered.

He put a hand around my waist, the other hand placed on my neck as he pulled me closer to him.

'What is he doing?'

Hyungwon suddenly brought my face closer to his and before I knew it, his lips were on mine. I sobered up quickly, shocked at Hyungwon's sudden display of affection. A couple days ago I thought he barely liked me, now he was making out with me in the back of a bar? The world works in strange ways...

Hyungwon deepened the sloppy kiss, putting both of his hands on my waist and pulling me in closer.

I was so frozen in shock that I only came back to reality when he pulled away.

"I like you, Jiyeon." Hyungwon said, looking into my eyes.

Before I could reply, he passed out in my arms.
