stray kids imagines

Jeongin • The King and Queen of Trot

Another one that is just my own idea - hope it's okay!

"How do I look?" You asked your friend Emily, modelling the dress for her.

She gave you a big thumbs up, "Hot!"

"Shush, don't say things like that." You felt yourself blush red, so much so that you turned away so she wouldn't see.

"I'm just stating the truth."

The last couple of months, you had spent inside of JYP practicing your dancing nonstop without going out too much. You couldn't help it, you were an introvert and going outside, truth be told, was incredibly scary for you.

Emily, your fellow band mate, hadn't been happy about your lack of a social life and you had begun to feel bad. Whenever she would invite you out, you always had some excuse for her. It made you feel like a bad friend.

Today was your eighteenth birthday and there was no possible way that you could say no when she invited you out, no matter how bad your social anxiety was. So, you were being dragged to your birthday party and there was nothing you could do to say no.

In one way, that was incredibly flattering. She, and others, had cared enough to organise an entire party just for you but, on the other hand, it was absolutely terrifying. All attention would be on you.

Have fun, Y/N, just try to have fun!

"Are we ready to go?" She asked you.

"Just one second, let me get my coat."

You rushed into your closet, rummaging around until you found your colourful, puffy jacket and threw it on. While in the closet, you heard Emily speak but it was muffled, so you couldn't really hear.

"What did you say?" You asked, zipping up the coat.

"I said that Jeongin will be there-"

"Excuse me?!" You exclaimed, suddenly feeling all the social anxiety bubble up inside you even worse now. "Why would you invite him?"

"Because you think he's cute. Plus, it's your birthday so he has to talk to you!"

You rolled your eyes at that. "I don't want to talk to him. I'm a complete chicken. I'll just...stutter and say stupid things. I'll totally embarrass myself."

"I know you will-"

"Hey!"

"But," She added, "It's cute when you do that. He'll love you and, if he doesn't, he's an idiot."

You felt a million different ways about this news. Of course, terrified and filled to the brim with anxiety but part of you was hopeful. For so long, you had been watching Jeongin and his band. You were such a big fan of them, they were so cool!

Going to the same company, you had talked to them before but never directly to Jeongin. From the moment you saw him, your crush on him had began to grow and grow until now it felt like you would never like anyone else this much.

Maybe it will go well...who knows.

The drive to the place wasn't by any means a long one but it seemed to fly by faster than it should have. You spent the entire time fidgeting with your hands and trying to control your breathing as you pictured the night ahead.

You had been nervous enough at the idea of having to face a party full of people but Emily had thrown in the extra hurdle of inviting the boy you liked. Maybe we won't even talk, you thought to yourself, but then felt saddened. Of course, you wanted to talk to him but whether or not that would happen depended entirely on your social anxiety.
