Scarlet. The contents of the clear glass object that sits gingerly between your fingers sparkles a vile and ruthless shade of crimson, it's taste languidly unfolding and exploring the caverns of your mouth as you take another gulp.

"Like mom always said, drink the day away" you whisper, chuckling to yourself, she wasn't the best of moms not after that incident anyways.

Your blood still runs cold recalling the curdling memories that hold your sleep captive, the thoughts that force you awake trapping you within yourself.

Behind you disgusting bodies sway across the dance floor, sinners, are you one of them? You think to yourself as an oddly satisfying rush courses through your body.

the red sequin dress that rests on your body itches you so bad you wish to peel it off; it barely reaches your knees and hugs your curves proudly, you wouldn't be wearing this on any occasion, not this short anyways.

"So, this year the same as the last?" A voice pipes, Hoseok or as he's usually known as, Mr hope grins at you as you groan.

"Is it me or do you purposely work especially on this night to piss me off" you grumble "respect little one, and no my shift is over now I'll be heading home" he grins. A part of you wishes he'll stay as he places his jacket on his shoulders whilst waving goodbye. Loneliness swarms over your body as the man hastily leaves the crowded area.

You glance around the bar once more, nothing catching your eye like every other year.

          •••

The thought that came to mind just a few seconds ago disappears when something rather interesting comes into sight.

A pair of bister eyes pierce into yours, he stares at you, the type of look he grants sends a cold shudder down your spine and you don't dare leave his fiery eyes, your muscles tense and a weird feeling ignites through your body.

His chiselled jaw moves as his lips curl to smirk at you, just the sight makes your breath hitch, then; almost as if it's normal the most oddest thing occurs, he tilts his head innocently giving you an adorable smile without breaking contact, almost mocking your confusion.

You snap out of your thoughts turning back to your previous position. Another heavy gulp passes through your lips as you grunt at the intoxicating sensation.

A feeling of despair clouds you as you beg yourself to turn around, to have one last glance, but it'd hurt your pride, and for now that's all you have left.

Amongst the music you manage to make out the sound of faint footsteps padding towards you "someone's a little glum for a birthday girl don't you think" you slowly rotate at the voice, smooth as feathers but even those can cut.

An enquiry almost slips past your sealed lips when he cuts you off "the dress gave it away" he shrugs, his voice as deep as the ocean.

You don't reply instead finish your drink waiting for a refill until it's been a few seconds, "there's nothing to enjoy when it's a repeat of last year."

You don't look him in the eyes, because you know, you know if you do you might never be pulled out of the dangerous trance they had you stuck in merely moments ago.

You feel the wood underneath your elbows creak as he leans his chin on his open palms whilst looking at you "is that so?" He mumbles.

The alcohol inside you boosts and pumps up your adrenaline levels once again as you move your body to his direction. It's worse than before.

The feeling, the one that runs through you, the one that rings of excitement as his doe eyes bore into yours.

"Jungkook" he introduces whilst placing out his palm "y/n" you reply, he tilts his head to the side and gazes at you "What a lovely name."

A tinted blush settles onto your cheeks, "bet that's your catchphrase" you scoff whilst taking a sip from your newly poured cup.

"You drink any longer you're going to start feeling rather tipsy" he warns whilst removing the glass from your clutch.

"What do you mean by repeat?" He questions whilst changing the topic, "those people dancing" you gesture with your head.

"Those people are the ones that bring me here, they'll abandon me soon to leave with random men" you inform whilst slyly retrieving your drink.

"See that couple headed to the bathroom? That's my boyfriend Noah and some random girl he'll be making out with" you say whilst shaking your glass.

"It's okay though, it's only because I refuse to let him touch me, this was the case last year too" a look of sympathy swirls into his eyes as you finish the alcoholic substance throwing it down your throat.

"You like dancing?" He suddenly asks whilst grabbing your hands, his warm touch affects you in a way nothing else has and his request, it's too bold, too bold for someone you've just met.

"And in what world do you think I'll come with you stranger" you smirk as he grips your palms firmly "in the world of fantasies that I'll open the door to today" he smoothly retorts whilst pulling you out of your seat.

'What else have I got to lose anyways'

And with that thought excitement kicks through your body as Jungkook runs outside into the soaking weather. Usually, a feeling of nausea and anguish would overtake you just as it does the weather.

But today? Today is different, today you somehow feel free, free like you've been captive all this time. Jungkook stares at the transparent droplets of rain whilst running his fingers through his drenched hair.

"Dance with me stranger" you comment quietly as he gulps and takes a hold of your waist, there's only one thing you forgot in this perfect moment.

You're shit at dancing.

"Jungkook" you call as an embarrassing smile sits on your lips, "I can't dance" you mumble, he chuckles whilst holding on closer.

"Don't worry love, I've got you" he grins whilst tucking your wet hair behind your ear.
