Jungkook shakes his head.

     "An alcoholic? Definitely isn't me."

"But you almost always smell like alcohol," I point out.

"Enjoying the beauty of drinks doesn't automatically mean you're an alcoholic, dumbo," Jungkook assures me, gulping down his drink.

I grab it from his hands. "It's totally fine to drink alcohol..my family does it, our teachers do it, our classmates do it. It's apart of korean society and culture. But why is you almost always smell like it? Dude, you're an underage kid and you drink alcohol on most days. It's not good for you."

      Jungkook snatches the drink from my hand and gulps it down it, anyways. "It's fine, I work at my father's job, I get top notch grades, can't I at least award myself? Yeesh."

"Rewarding yourself is drinking alcohol occasionally. Like my mom loves to drink wine on the weekends after dinner. But you drink it everyday! And it's not even legal for you to do so," I explained.

"So? It's not like you can stop me." Jungkook takes my alcoholic drink.

"Yes I can." I grab my drink and down it. It burns my throat but I don't stop and completely finish the whole glass.

"Ew, it's so bitter and disgusting. And you willingly drink it?" I scrunch my face and tear up.

"I don't drink it for the taste, I drink it for after-effects you'll feel later on. And damn that was impressive, how'd you down it fast on your first try?" He raised his eyebrow.

"I don't know..." I shake my head back and forth.

       Jungkook waves at the waiter. "Hey can you get me another-"

      I stop him. "No, no more alcohol. Please, I'll do anything!"

He smirks. "You're right.. how about we do a deal?"

"Huh?" I ask.

"I promise I won't drink anymore alcohol for the rest of the night.. if we dance exactly the way I want."

"Fine, deal," I say without thinking. As long as he isn't doing anything toxic with his body, I'd agree to it.

      "Perfect...I'll be right back..." He smirks mischievously and walks away.

      Wait a second..now, he won't do anything toxic with his body. But what about my body? How exactly are we going to dance?

He returns. "Get ready for the experience of your life," He tells me.

"Huh?" I raise my brow.

"Alright we're gonna slow things down a bit..." The DJ says, dimming the lights, and putting on a slow, romantic song.

        Jungkook inches towards me.

        "Now, listen to exactly what I say."

       "Uh, okay," I say hesitantly.

"Get closer to me," he instructed.

I moved one step closer. "Like this?"

"No." He grabbed my hand and pulled me so close. My hand fell on his chest and our shoes were touching each other.

"Like this." He nodded, and I felt myself slowly losing myself into his intense stare

"Put your arms around my neck," he says.

"Like choke you?" I'm confused.

He snorted. "No, put your hands on the back of my neck."

"Alright." I do so, hesitantly. Wow, we're awfully close now.

         "Now don't get too nervous..."

       "Nervous? Why would I be nervous?" I say, as my breathing rate increases, and my face becomes noticeably red.

           "And don't jump back..."

        He places his hands right on the back of my waist, above my hips.

       I giggle. "Woah, that tickles."

He moves his face closer.

"Now copy me."

He waltzed side to side.

"Huh, that's awfully easy." I say.

We continued waltzing like that, our feet moving to the beats of my heart. It was nerve wracking at first, because his face was awfully close to mind and he wouldn't look away. But slowly, I became more comfortable, and his auburn eyes hypnotized me into serenity.

I don't know how long we were like that, until I looked around the room. Although music was playing, most of the people had stopped dancing and were staring at us. Whether it was the celebrities, politicians, body guards- even Namjoon had his arms crossed and was staring at our close proximity.

"Jungkook," I whispered, "everyone is looking at us."

         He smiled. "Huh? I haven't noticed."

         I rolled my eyes. "How could you not? Their bodies are all faces towards us, their eyes following our every move!"

        He looks around. "Huh, wow you're right. That's weird...."

        "What's weird?"

         "We're surrounded by so many people, but it seem like you're the only one who seems to exist? 

My face burned up and I buried my face into his chest. I felt his chest heaving up and down- clearly he was laughing at my embarrassment.

I kept thinking about his comment. Nobody else could hear him so did he actually mean it? Or was he trying to make me blush in front of Namjoon and convince him we were dating? Jungkook was so difficult to figure out...

"Alright, we're gonna speed up the music a bit. Msot of y'all didn't even dance for the entire song, except for that steamy couple over there! You guys are my new OTP!" He pointed at us and winked.

Everyone around us applauded and whistled. Me and Jungkook just cheekily grinned at each other.

"Now let's party for real!"

         Everyone around us jumped on the dance floor, and began shaking their bodies, like maniacs.

       Maybe it was the alcohol I previously drank or perhaps it was Jungkook's charm, but I began to loosen up and danced freely with him. I copied what he did, jumped up and down and he taught me some popular millennium dance moves. I was really having fun.

         The DJ slowed down the music again. I was about to dance with Jungkook, until the DJ said that we had to switch partners.

      "But I don't wanna dance with anyone else. C'mon let's just sit at the table." Jungkook suggested.

       Some perky red head tapped Jungkook on the shoulder.

       "C'mon Jungkookie, you already had enough fun with the boring brunette. Let me show you how to have some real fun." She wiggled her body, weirdly.

       Jungkook looked disgusted. "Uh, I'd rather not-"

         She pouted her bottom lip. "C'mon? Just one dance? I'll leave you alone for the rest of the night then! If not, I'll be following you, even at school."

      Jungkook's eyes widened with fear. "Huh?"

       "It's okay Jungkook. One dance with the girl couldn't hurt." I shrugged.

       "Are you sure? Because you're my girlfriend and all-"

       "She said yes! Let's go, c'mon!" The strange girl dragged Jungkook away from me, and Jungkook mouthed the word "sorry" to me.

      I was about to go back to my table, until the DJ pointed and put the spotlight on me.

       "Awww, you're all alone now! Would any gentleman be willing to dance with the lovely lady over there?"

        Nobody said anything for a few seconds and my face flushed with embarrassment. I was about to shamefully retreat to my seat, until a brave guy volunteered.

      "I'll dance with her."

     I looked up, praying it wasn't some jerk from school or Namjoon, but it was actually someone I've never seen before.

        This young stranger looked dashing in a black blazer, with his silver blue hair parted, revealing his forehead and prominent eyebrows. He was mostly covered, yet I could tell he was very muscular. His black slacks were sinfully tight around his thick thighs, and the collar of his shirt was loosened opened.

        Who the hell was this guy? And why would he be interested in me?

         The beautiful man walked closer to me. He bowed like a true gentlemen and took his hand out. I grabbed his palm so we could shake hands. Instead, he lowered his lips and kissed the back of my hand.

       "May I have this dance?"

      I blushed from his charming words.

       "I don't know..." My eyes scanned around the room. I saw Jungkook smiling, and giving me a thumbs up while the girl was backhugging him. He looked really annoyed from her, but wanted me to have fun.

      "Uh, why not." I shrugged.

       The supermodel bowed again.

        "So what's your name?" I bravely asked.

        He pushed his hair back with his hand and walked closer to me. With greater proximity, I noticed he smelt undeniably good. Better than any flower or perfume on this planet.

       "Oh, I'm Park Jimin."
