The boy next door

Chapter 17

"My god, you look amazing, birthday girl", I said, happy with my styling result and took her hand to spin her around.

"Thank you so much, Y/N", she cooed and squeezed my hand, "you saved the night."

"And now.. we need to get you ready!", she said and clapped her hands, "you have to look sexy tonight and get your mind off everything. You know about what kind of distraction I'm talking."

She winked and started to look for something revealing to wear for me.

"I don't know, Soojung", I said quietly remembering my last party, "I want to take it slow."

"Yeah, I know, I know", she said busy going through piles of clothing, "you can still look sexy though. Just to show off."

"There it is!", she exclaimed excited. I sighed and watched her pulling a black dress out. It seemed pretty short to me, but at least it had long, elegant sleeves.

"You have to wear this", she said hanging it to you, "please, it's MADE for you." I let my hand pass over the soft black fabric and nodded. There's nothing wrong in wearing something sexy.

I changed and walked out of the bathroom before checking how I look in the mirror.

"Damn it, Y/N", Soojung cursed widening her eyes at you, "Jungkook will drool over you."

"What?", I asked, because I didn't hear her last sentence since I was occupied with pulling my dress down. It seemed too short to me, even though it ended right over my knees.

"Nothing", she said smiling, "look at you, girl." I turned around and regarded myself in the mirror on her wardrobe. The dress nestled against my body outlining the slight curves I had. The neckline was just so deep that it only showed my cleavage.

"So what do you say?", she asked with sparkling eyes. I didn't really feel comfortable and I also wasn't in the mood for a party, but I didn't want to ruin her big day. A few shots will definitely cure my bad mood.

"It's fabulous", I said smiling and gave her a quick hug, "do my makeup?"

"Of course", she answered.

"Heyy", I greeted Taehyung happily, when I saw him standing in the kitchen to get a drink.

"Hi, Y/N", he said and poured himself a drink, "I see your mood is better than in school?"

"Not really", I admitted playing with the end of my curls.

"A drink?", he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Sure", I answered. It was time to start the party and join the others to have some fun.

"Do you want to talk about it?", he asked sipping on his drink and eyed me over the rim of his red cup.

"No", I said quietly and put my lips on the cup letting the sweet but bitter drink flow down my throat.

"Alright", he said understanding and gave me a warm look, "you know, I'll be there for you, don't you?"

"Yes, I know. Thank you", I told him and smiled at him.

"Hey, Y/N, Taehyung!", a girl from our school called, "let's play a drinking game!" I sipped on my drink and scrunched my nose. I definitely needed some help to drink it.

"Okay", I answered and looked questioning at Taehyung, "are you coming?"

"Is that even a question?", he asked chuckling and put an arm around me pulling me towards the living room.

I laughed and sat down next to him on the couch. The game was really fun and it took me only half an hour to feel drunk already. And I didn't even waist a single thought on Jungkook for the last three hours.

Taehyung got up to get me and him another for the second round. Everyone around me had a great time and I was happy to see Soojung enjoying herself. I also noticed that she was throwing glances at Taehyung which seemed to mean more than just friendship.

At first, I was quite confused, but then I noticed that Taehyung looked at her the same way. I decided to let it go, they knew what they wanted and if they wanted to have fun together, they were old enough to do so. I was just a little worried it might ruin their friendship, but maybe it has never been a real friendship between them.

Soojung was having fun and with the last sip of my third drink I also let go of all my worries. I put my empty cup down and told everyone that I'd be getting another one. When I got up I felt a bit dizzy and staggered which made me chuckle at myself.

I turned left to get to the kitchen when I stumbled over my own feet. "Hey, Y/N! Careful", a familiar deep voice said and snaked his strong arm around my waist to catch me from falling.

"Oh, hi Jungkook", I said smiling stupidly as I spotted his handsome face right next to mine. He put me safely back on my feet and regarded me.

"Did you just arrive?", I asked trying to focus.

"Yeah, I had to help my mum first", he explained looking around the party and all the already drunk people, including me.

"Oh, your mum? I like your mum, she's lovely", I babbled making his eyes land on me again.

He lifted his eyebrow at my remark. "Are you drunk?", he asked even though he knew the answer already.

"There's a small chance I might be drunk", I said giggling at my own comment.

He laughed softly and shook his head at my drunk behaviour. Wow, he's so adorable. My eyes wandered over his face and body. God damn, he's so hot. He looked so attractive only wearing casual denim ripped jeans and a white shirt which was slightly straining over his biceps.

I gulped feeling a heat wave coming over me. I stared at his pinkish lips and wished he would kiss me right now against the wall. F*ck. My drunk self was so turned on by him that I didn't even notice he followed my eyes and knew I was obviously checking him out.

"Are you okay?", he asked smirking because of my red cheeks.

"Sure, I'm fine", I said looking quickly away, "I wanted to get a drink. See you around."

I left him standing there dumbfounded and rushed to the kitchen. I let him consume me again. Over and over again.

I was lost in my thoughts and so distracted that I spilled the whole drink next to the cup.

"Hey, do you know what you are doing?", a male voice said chuckling behind me and took the bottle of liquor from me, "let me help you."

I turned to the side to see who it was and almost gasped loudly if I hadn't covered it with a cough. If I didn't know Jungkook he would be the most handsome guy I've ever seen.
