Grace Xiu

My girls and I finally walked out into the actual ballroom. We walked like models and smiled like goddesses. We wanted to look good for both attention and Jennifer's job.

We earned a ton of lustful, jealous, amazed, and impressed looks from people in the room.

Everyone in the room had gorgeous dresses on, but none were a match to how beautiful my girls and I looked.

What can I say? My confidence is higher than most people's.

"Oh. My. Gosh!" Jennie, Namjoon Kim's fiancé, approaches us.

"Jennie! You look so good!" Ashley screams and gives her friend a hug.

"Me? What about all of you girls! My jaw dropped when I saw you three!" Jennie gave us all a hug.

"Please, Jennie. You know our jaws dropped at how beautiful you look. I'm not surprised, though! You always slay me with your looks!" I send her a playful wink.

The compliments never end.

10 minutes later and I was alone. Jasmine and Ashley went off on their own to greet and talk with their other friends.

I was half looking for Jimin, and half getting attention from cuties.

I found myself drinking a full glass of wine and grabbing another. I made my way to the dancing crowd and suddenly danced my way into a handsome stranger's arms..

His hair was a dirty brown, neatly styled with his forehead showing. His suit was a matte black and his button up was a clean white color. His facial features made him look so innocent and cute, but his body screamed out "SEXY TIME".

"Your name?" He whispered as we danced together.

He spun and he dipped.

"Grace. Yours?" I smiled.

He spun me around again and brought me back to his chest.

"Seokjin. Nice to meet you." He winks.

I was so smitten with his smooth charms. I almost forgot about everything I came here for.

We danced together with perfect rhythm. We moved together so gracefully along the floor.

He spun me, dipped me, he lifted me up, and he carried me.

He danced so well. I was blushing so hard.

"You dance really nicely, Seokjin." I blushed right in front of him.

He chuckled. "I practice."

The music stopped and Namjoon Kim stood at the top of the staircase, looking like a king.

"Welcome, everyone. I'm so happy you all are here at this event. Drinks will be served all night and food is prepared at the buffet on the left! Let's all have fun tonight!" He announces with a wide smile.

Everyone started cheering and went back to what they were doing.

Seokjin and I danced for another 5 minutes before he left to get us some drinks.

I stepped out of the crowd and fixed my dress. I took a few breaths to calm my heart because I just met someone super handsome.

Thank you, universe!

When I looked up, I immediately made eye contact with the one and only.

I didn't have time to prepare.

Jimin Park.

There he was, standing with great posture. He looked a bit mad when he saw me, but can't miss a face of lust from him too.

His hair was black and did almost like Seokjin's. His suit was a simple black and white, but his tie was maroon. It almost looked like we planned to lowkey match tonight.

Ew.

He stood just 15 feet away from me and his eyes were staring right into mine with no shame at all.

His lips were parted like he was shocked to see me at the ball. His eyes lowered and he was now taking in the beauty of this dress around my body that he knows too well.

I smiled to myself.

See? What did I say.

Seokjin appeared out of nowhere and placed a hand just above my booty.

"Here's your drink, m'lady." He whispers in my ear and hands me the drink.

"Thank you." I whisper back.

Just by Seokjin's crazy handsome looks, I didn't give Jimin another glance like how I usually do when another guy takes me away.

Seokjin's charms are KILLIN' IT.

As Seokjin and I were drinking and dancing, I saw Jasmine and Ashley outside the crowd giving me a "meet in bathroom" signal.

"Excuse me." I whispered in his ear.

"I'll hold your drink." He whispered back.

I made my way out of the crowd and started looking for the lady's bathroom.

I turned a corner to an empty hallway. There was no door and it kind of creeped me out. I was about to turn back, but a hand snatched me away.

I was slammed against a wall and a hand was pressed against my mouth.

I stayed silent.

I opened one eye slowly.

Right away, I was greeted by the fire in Jimin's dark orbs.

My eyes snapped open and I tried to talk, but it was all muffled.

"Grace Xiu. What a name that's been around forever." He whispered in a dark and low voice.

I tried to remove his hand from my mouth.

He was ruining my lipstick AND makeup!

He just pressed me against the wall even harder. His chest was on mine and his legs were keeping me from stepping away.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to, Grace." He whispered again, lips so close to mine.

I pushed his hand away and he slammed it near my head. He was now towering over me.

"I came to have a fun time, Jimin." I snarled. "Don't ruin my night...and I'll try not to ruin yours."

"I see you already found a man." He cocks his head.

"Uh-huh. You've been watching?"

His jaw tightens.

"GRACE! GRACE XIU! WHERE ARE YOU! I KNOW YOU'RE HERE! I CAN SMELL YOUR PERFUME!" I hear Jasmine yelling for me.

"Your crazy friend is looking for you." He said through gritted teeth.

I stepped closer, but he didn't move, so I literally almost kissed his face.

We were literally so close to each other that I could smell his favorite cologne....and my sense of smell sucks.

He tilted his head so he was facing me. His eyes traveled to my lips and I grinned.

"Have a wonderful night, Jimin." I pecked his cheek and stepped away from him.
