Chapter 4 - New Year

MIN JI POV

A day after Christmas Day everyone is back at school. God, school sucks.

Ever since Jungkook appeared at your house out of nowhere you've found that you've attained a certain interest in him. You also keep noticing little habits that he would do, such as the way he scrunches his nose up like a bunny whenever something is challenging, the way he bites his nails when nervous, how gorgeous his features are.

Today in class, you find yourself zoning out more than usual. The reason, Jeon Jungkook. Once again.

You can't help but stare at his beautiful brown doe eyes, his milky white skin and his plump, pink lips. They look so kissable...

Oh god! He caught me!

Jungkook turns and looks at me with deep interest and curiosity, smiling when he realizes I've been staring at him. I blush and look down at my desk but after a few seconds you look up only to be met with the same deep brown eyes. And that's how the remainder of the lesson goes by.

The bell finally rings, drawing me out of my staring competition with Jungkook. It's only until Celeste unnie has to physically shake me until I finally oblige and go with her.

"Wow"

"What is it?" I look at Celeste unnie with a questioning look. "Some eye sex you were having there."

"W-what!" I shout out stunned. Oh god...what if everyone else noticed as well?

"I was not engaging in any sexual activity in class thank you very much!" I say matter of factly. Celeste unnie just looks at me with a smug smile but lets the matter go.

"Celeste! Min Ji!" Somi unnie runs towards me, panting. "What's wrong?"

"Have you heard the news? Hoseok is having a party to celebrate New Year!" she claps happily. "We gotta go!"

Celeste unnie thinks for a while before saying "Who is Hoseok?"

"Oh, I think he's Jungkook's brother or something" Jaemin unnie sneaks up behind us and joins the conversation along with Hannah unnie.

"They're brothers?" I question. "Well, actually I think all seven of those guys are."

"Really," Somi unnie says incredulously. "No way!" Celeste unnie agrees.

"So you want to go?" Somi unnie asks us all. A part of me, I admit wants to go but the other part is nervous. I've never been to a party before. And what if something bad happens?

As if Celeste unnie can read my mind, she says reassuringly "Don't worry, we'll make sure you're just fine at the party. Nothing bad will happen to you."

I nod and comply. If Celeste unnie says everything will be alright, I'm sure I'll be fine.

Later that day when we've all arrived home I begin getting ready for Hoseok's party.

After looking and putting together numerous outfits, I finally decide on the perfect outfit:

Content with my outfit, I then move on to straighten my hair and apply some makeup. Once finished, I make my way out to the living room where the rest of my unnies are. They all look amazing

"Wow! You look amazing!" they all exclaim and compliment me. "You all do as well" I return the compliment.

"You ready to go?" Jaemin unnie asks me. I nod.

"Let's get drunk YASSS!" Somi unnie screams out but turns around and upon seeing my reaction, she says "And be safe of course."

I roll my eyes "Nice save."

We all laugh and make our way to the car and drive off to the anticipated party.

It surprisingly only takes 10 minutes to drive to Hoseok's house but it's the parking that takes forever. Apparently, the whole school is at this party so the streets are cramped. Another 20 minutes go past before we finally find a parking spot.

When we finally reach the house I stop and gawk. Hoseok and the guys must be crazy rich if they can afford a house like this. The house is a massive mansion surrounded by beautiful nature and gardens and also completed with a large swimming pool.

"Omg, his house is amazing!" I shout over the loud music playing as we enter the mansion.

"You want a drink?" Celeste unnie offers. I smile and nod. The two of us make our way to the indoor bar and grab some drinks and pretty soon I find that my unnies are already drunk.

Oh boy...

I decided to try and get them to come with me to the car so they could get to bed but they just refused and whined.

"Min Ji NOOO!!" Jaemin unnie cries in an angry tone.

"Why!!" Hannah unnie cries.

"Can't we at least just stay till the New Years countdown?" they all whine.

A loud groan comes out of my mouth and I decide that I'll just let them stay for a little longer and then we can leave.

The whole night, even though I've talked to many people from our school, there's been no sign of Jungkook. Weird. It is his house after all.

Finally, the New Years countdown begins and the light turns off...

Oh god, I have to kiss a stranger! I completely forgot!

I frantically scramble around the room, trying to find a way out but it's very hard due to the fact that over 100 people are in the same room...

I clutch into the closest person near me, hoping that this stranger isn't completely well...strange.

I feel a pair of plump lips attach to mine and I can't help but feel instantly drawn to them as if they're a drug. The kiss lasts only a few seconds before the lights flicker back on and I'm faced with my stranger.

Brown does eyes meet mine and I nearly die of shock.

"JUNGKOOK!?"
