Taehyung POV

Tonight is the night, Seokjin's birthday. Everyone will be there, the entire soccer team, all of the cheerleaders, nerds, art-geeks, junkies, everyone. I would always look forward to this night because it's one of the biggest parties of the year. Seokjin is very popular and everyone likes him, well, likes the fact that he provides a lot of alcohol and has a large place.

He is pretty much a privileged child, got everything handed to him and had a pretty easy life. He is a nice guy and does not show his rich kid side very often, but he can be sassy from time to time. Him being Namjoon's boyfriend naturally increases his popularity as well.

Even though this is supposed to be a time where I would laugh, dance and drink, I can't help but dread this evening. I'm finally going to have a proper conversation with Y/N about us and I will tell her how I feel. God I'm nervous.

Apart from that, I have to face the entire soccer team once again. I just hope there will be no fighting and that we can stop with the childish acts towards one another.

On top of that, Jennie will be there. Even though I have nothing to fear from her and will most likely ignore her just like she will ignore me, this will be the first time we will be at a party together after we broke up. I can already imagine the stares people will give me and the glances we will share with one another, especially after what happened in the hallway yesterday.

I would love to believe that she is over me and has moved on, but I know she didn't. She made that loud and clear yesterday stating she was disappointed in me. I thought I was finally done with all of this bullshit but I guess it will continue to haunt me for some time.

My inner thoughts are interrupted when Jimin barges into my room and throws a can of beer in my hands. He doesn't say anything else and sits down next to me on my bed. He sighs and puts his hand on my shoulder, slightly squeezing it.

"Are you okay Tae?" He asks me. I don't even know how to answer that question to be completely honest. I would love to say that I am, but I'm nervous and anxious.

"I know you're nervous, but trust me, it's going to be okay" He says trying to reassure me.

"Ignore everyone else tonight, except for us and Seokjin of course and put all of your focus on Y/N, she is the one that matters to you and that should be your only focus for tonight, not the negativity from others who don't really matter" He states.

"Did those words really just come out of Park Jimin's mouth? The guy who does not care for girls and just plays around with them when he's bored?" I ask whilst laughing.

"Yah! I was being serious! I have feelings to you know" He says annoyed causing me to laugh even more.

I open the can of beer and quickly gulp it down, feeling the burning liquid going down my throat. I throw it in the trash can just as Jungkook walks in.

"It's time to party ladies" Jungkook states, trying to sound serious and hiding the grin forming on his face. I chuckle and get up, dragging Jimin with me. This is going to be an interesting evening.

We arrive and I can already hear the loud music without even spotting the house just yet, causing me to already grunt in annoyance.

"Cheer up Tae, with a few beers in you'll think you're living your best life" Jungkook states causing me to chuckle. He's probably right, I do not have a particular high alcohol tolerance.

We arrive in front of the door and just as we want to open it, Seokjin swings the door open whilst dragging Namjoon with him.

"You guys made it! I'm glad you're here" Seokjin says, hugging all of us. He is dressed in a pink suit and wearing a sparkly crown with some other decorations, what a diva.

"Thank god you guys made it, I was starting to get annoyed with all those bloody cheerleaders-" Namjoon says but Seokjin cuts him off.

"Remember, be nice!!" Seokjin says in a passive aggressive tone, causing all of us to laugh. He motions us inside and we hand him his gifts. As I give him mine his eyes widen.

"I can't believe you got me this Tae! It's amazing!" He says whilst looking at me like I was Santa.

"There is only one person we will be able to cook from the 'Cookbook for ultimate Diva's'" I state proudly.

"It's amazing, thank you so much!" He says whilst proudly putting it up front. He soon walks off greeting some other people. As he leaves my eyes scan the room for any sign of Y/N.

It seems like most people have already arrived and gotten drunk. Girls are dancing on the tables, people are smoking in the backyard and beeping is already happening in full competitive mode. I try to find Y/N but can't seem to spot her anywhere, including her friends. They must be late.

"You seem completely lost my brother" Hoseok says, appearing in front of my gaze. I flinch a little but soon chuckle at his all too accurate remark.

"I was just trying to find someone" I quickly say. He nods and hands me a beer of which I quickly take a sip.

"Is that specific person Y/N?" he asks me. I look at him slightly confused but he just laughs.

"Don't worry, I'm just playing with you, although I know for sure I'm right" He says whilst wiggling his eyebrows. I just sigh and take another sip of my beer, feeling the warmth growing inside of me.

"Come on, our captain obviously has to join beer pong right?" Hoseok asks whilst dragging me with him. Honestly, I'm not in the mood for beer pong at all but it will perhaps kill some time before Y/N gets here.

As I make it to the beer pong table, the entire team seems to be playing, getting along with each other. It puts a massive smile on my face, perhaps my little speech yesterday worked? Or is it the alcohol? Either way, it looks like things are finally getting back to normal.

That was until I notice Kai isn't here, odd, he loves this game and wouldn't miss it for anything. I scan the room and stretch myself out a little trying to see it I can spot him, but when I do I wish I didn't.

I spot Kai, but he is basically licking a girls face completely clean, disgusting. If this is how he expects to attract girls and keep them with him after a bit of intimate action he has a long way to go, who could possibly enjoy that?

As Kai parts ways with the girl I finally get a clear view of her, causing my blood to stop running for a second. It's Jennie.

I don't really know what to think for a moment. I certainly didn't expect to see Jennie and Kai snogging each others faces off tonight, especially after her tantrum in the hallway yesterday. Is this why Kai has been so upset with me lately? Does he like Jennie? Well I hope he does, otherwise why would you kiss someone like that? At a party where the entire school is going to see.

My mind is clogged with all sorts of thoughts. Have they been seeing each other when Jennie and I were still together? Had Jennie been cheating on me? No, she wouldn't do that, perhaps they were just friends all along and kissed for the first time tonight, although, that did not look like their first kiss.

I glance back at them and it seems like they have seen me staring at them. Jennie's facial expression completely changes, looking mortified whilst Kai looks at me with a smirk and pulls her in for another kiss.

I need some air.

I quickly leave the game, ignoring the shouts from my teammates and make my way to the backyard. I push myself through the crowd and ignore all of the people trying to greet me, girls touching me and guys wanting to give me a hug. I've already had enough of this party and Y/N still needs to arrive.

I finally make my way to the backyard and breathe in the fresh air, letting the summer air hit my face. I breathe out and close my eyes for a moment, just trying to take in the more silent environment for a minute.

I hear some people coughing because of the smoke and open my eyes, scanning for a quiet place to sit down for a minute. I spot a swing in front of the lake and quickly make my way to the swing, taking a seat.

I feel the cold metal against my hand palms and squeeze it a little tighter. I stare at the lake and look at the lily's in the water. It's truly beautiful, how they float in the water and their perfect white colours.

I wish Y/N was with me right now. I feel like she's the only one who really understands me on a deeper level nowadays, and there is a possibility that I might have ruined it. Perhaps it too late already, maybe she changed her mind and doesn't want to talk to me after all.

"I'm such an idiot" I say to myself. I look down at my feet that bungle slightly above the ground, swinging them a little. I spot a little rock and pick it up, throwing it into the water. I watch as the water moves and makes slight waves because of the impact. I'm so focused on the lake that I don't even notice someone taking a seat on the swing next to me.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" Someone suddenly asks me, completely taking me by surprise. As I look to my side I see Y/N sitting next to me. She looks absolutely breathtaking, even more beautiful than she did before. I was getting completely lost in her beauty once again, so much so, that I didn't even notice I was gawking.

"It is beautiful indeed" I responded, but I knew I wasn't talking about the lake anymore. She seems to know and chuckles.

"I saw a handsome boy sitting all by himself so I took my shot" She suddenly says. She has said this to me before, on our date at the cafe when she arrived. I smile at the thought and the fact that she remembered.

It was silent for a little bit until she broke the silence.

"When are you doing outside all by yourself Tae? I would have expected you to be drunk by now winning your fifth game of beer pong" She says.

"I just needed some air, it was getting quite toxic inside that house" I explain. She hums and looks at me. I look up at her and lock my gaze with hers, drowning in her beautiful eyes. But I remembered the sight I saw yesterday, her with that guy.

"Who did you come her with?" I asked her.

"Oh just Hyejin and Sunmi, like always" she says chuckling.

"No date?" I ask suspiciously. She looks at me confused before she answers.

"No of course not, why would you say that?" She asks me.

"Because I saw you with a guy yesterday evening when I was walking home from practise" I explain whilst looking down. She sighs and looks at me, lifting up my chin which makes me look at her.

"That was my ex boyfriend, he is back in town and ran into me yesterday" She explains looking me into my eyes. Her ex boyfriend? The one that cheated on her?

"He was trying his old tricks again and wanted to talk to me, I told him to leave me alone for good and left straight after, it was not what it looked like Tae" She says whilst giving me a soft smile.

I'm such an idiot, how could I have possibly thought she would be seeing someone else when in reality, someone was practically harassing her.

"Oh god, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-" I say but she cuts me off.

"It's okay Tae, this is probably one of the reasons why we really need to talk" She states, causing me to nod. She's right, this is exactly what happens when we don't communicate with each other, and it's time I'm getting some stuff off my chest, I want her to know exactly how I feel.

"But perhaps not here" She says whilst eyeing the people smoking pod in the back. I chuckle at her disgusted face and get up, extending my hand for her to take. She takes it and I pull her up, holding her hand a little tighter than before.

"I know a place we could go" She says, dragging me with her. We are leaving the backyard and going off Seokjins property, leaving the party. Are we leaving? I don't even care to be honest, as long as I'm with Y/N, but I can't help but get curious.

"Y/N, where are we going?" I ask her. She smiles and looks me in my eyes.

"You'll see"
