the days had passed by quickly and it was now friday, the day of the big 'welcoming' party.
y/n wasn't surprised that her first week of university had gone by so fast, she had expected it to be how it had gone; full of excitement and packed with millions of new things. she maybe didn't expect some it it, like the part where she was kicked out of her dorm, by a certain someone, before the first day had even really started.
but nonetheless, y/n was loving university. apart from the place being perfect for the courses she was studying and where she wanted to go after, the uni life just fitted her perfectly.
being around people the majority of the time and always having someone to talk to was one of the main things she loved about it. it was a big contrast to her previous home life, something that she was glad about. after It happened, home had never been the same. it was lonely and y/n was happy to not feel like that day after day anymore. of course she had had yoongi who she was eternally grateful for, but still, there was only so much he could do.
speaking of yoongi, he was currently across the room from her, participating in a 'heated' debate with jimin who was another one of their friends. (hers too now, apparently) except it wasn't really a debate and the majority of it was just yoongi trying to provoke jimin. which he seemed to do often. jimin was speaking passionately with big hand gestures while yoongi stood passively, leaning against the kitchen counter with his arms loosely crossed. this was also often how it ended up.
"hey namjoon, what's the plan for the party thing tonight?" she called too him. he was sat on the couch opposite to her, going over some of his music sheets. he looked up at her.
"i think the plan was that we all go together, as in us guys, jimin will most likely bring along taehyung, and sana and chan if you want?"
"yeah! good plan, let's do that. i'll text sana and chan now."
y/n grabbed her phone from where it lay beside her and opened up sana's contact. she started typing when namjoon spoke again, but he spoke fast. too fast for y/n to understand.
"sorry, what was that?" she said.
"jungkookwillprobablycomewithustoo." he said it as though he dreaded to say the words. which he did after seeing that look pass over y/n's face.
"i really can't escape him, can i?" she said, exasperated.
"uh doesn't seem like it by the look of things."
"not helping." she gave him a look with her eyes that stopped him. he immediately looked apologetic.
"ugh sorry, i shouldn't be taking it out on you. i just really can't stand that boy." she said, regretful for making him feel bad.
"look, y/n... i know you don't like him, and fair enough, he hasn't acted the best towards you-"
"the best? he kicked me out of my dorm on my first day!"
"i know i know, sorry. i just.. take it easy on him okay? you don't know the full story." he said in reply, setting down his work.
"and why don't i know the full story? because none of you will tell me! none of you, not even yoongi, will tell me anything, do you not see how unfair that is?"
"y/n, he- "
"he kicked me out of my dorm with no reasoning, acted like a dick to me ever since and now you're telling me to 'take it easy on him'?"
she had leant forward during her speech, her voice raising slightly, so she sat back with a big release of breath and crossed her arms. yoongi and jimin had stopped debating and were now observing from the side. hoseok also popped out of his room to witness.
but she wasn't really mad. just wanted them to know how she felt, to see her side of things.
"y/n i completely get what you're saying, i can see why you're upset- if i could tell you i would. but it isn't my place, it's jungkook's." namjoon looked at her as though he truly meant it and wanted her to understand.
"no yeah, okay. i get it, i do. i just want you guys to see my side of things."
she was glad to have got that of her chest, to have told them how she was feeling.
"we do! we do, trust me. i'm sorry that it's like this, you know we're not doing it on purpose."
"yeah, i know."
y/n smiled softly at him, letting him know she wasn't really angry at him. he returned it.
"anyway, enough of jungkook." she said brightly while clapping her hands, repeating the words of sana from a few days before.
"i need to get ready, and so do you by the looks of things." she said pointing at yoongi's current outfit. it involved green swimming trunks and an old t-shirt she was pretty sure she'd seen namjoon wearing before.
"yeah, yeah i know. i was obviously just wearing this to sleep in."
"obviously." jimin mimicked from beside him. yoongi turned around, arms already putting him in a head lock, jimin instantly got ready to fight back when y/n stood up.
"dibs using the bathroom first!" she said, racing over to it as she heard collective complaining from behind her. a few insults were thrown her way. most likely from yoongi. no, definitely from yoongi.

an hour had passed and y/n had showered, done her and make up and was getting dressed into her chosen outfit. her hair was loose, resting in waves on her shoulders and her makeup was light. it mainly only involved eyeliner and mascara. her outfit was a simple one due the party being pretty casual and she didn't want to seem overdressed. not that anybody would care, the uni wasn't that kind of place.
(outfit chosen!! :)
she paired her outfit with her trusty platform doc martens and an over sized, black denim jacket that she probably wouldn't need.
sana had replied to her message she sent earlier with an enthusiastic
"yes!!!! 😁😁😁👍" so y/n had planned for them to meet outside of there building. the walk to the building the party was being held at wasn't a long one, thankfully.
"hey y/n! you nearly ready?" she heard yoongi yell at her from outside the room.
"yeah! one sec." she grabbed her last few bits and took one final look in the mirror.
y/n, you're hot. act like it.
was this how self love was supposed to work? y/n wasn't sure.
she joined the others in the living space, noticing there outfits weren't too bad for once. she liked to think it was her influence. (it definitely was.)
(imagine run mv kinda outfits, layered shirts and stuff :) sorry, couldn't find any good photos so..)
"you ready then?"
"yup, let's go!" hoseok answered in an upbeat tone.
the six of them left the dorm, y/n, yoongi, namjoon, hoseok, jimin and his bestfriend taehyung, who had appeared from somewhere without anyone noticing. not an uncommon occurrence, the two of them seemed inseparable, one never far from the other.
hoseok had to slightly herd them out, someone always straying away to get a forgotten item or spray some unneeded aftershave.
"so guys, whose excited?" jimin said, excitedly. taehyung raised his arm, as if to say yes, in enthusiasm beside him.
"me! y/n are you? first uni party and all." namjoon enquired.
"of course! it's gonna be such a good night, for sure." she answered in anticipation.
she was ready for the night to begin.
