Y/N POV

...

Two hours of just staring at my reflection on the mirror, the frown couldn't leave my face alone. I couldn't decide well on which dress should I choose, is it the floral printed one or the simple plain red one? Or maybe I should just go for a simple black jeans and white hoodie? Ugh, why do I even agree to Julius's plan for tonight. It is my first time to attend some house party.

A low groan slipped from my lips as I pulled my hair out of frustration remembering what happened lately at school.

***Flashback***

What happened earlier there puts me right in the pit of confusion. I admit I really felt upset about it. Why do I even care? I hate it. Really. I didn't told Aira whatever i'm feeling right now. Just going to keep it by myself.

"Are you just going to keep twisting your fork on your pasta?" I was being pulled out again from my thoughts. I think I just lose my appetite but still...I need to eat even just a few scopes to keep my tummy healthy.

Shaking my head as a 'no', I looked down to my food and shoved a spoon of rice to my mouth followed by a piece of meat. "I will, i'm just...spacing out. Yeah that is." I muttered finding better words for excuses then shoved another meat again to my mouth.

"Spacing out? For what? Because of Namjoon?" She asked eyes focus on her precious foods as if like it would run away from her anytime if she'll leave her eyes on it.

Yes.

"No. Why would I?" I laughed eyes looking around the cafeteria to avoid Aira's suspicious gaze at me. I'm really not good at acting but I try. Hope it will work this time.

A low chuckle escaped from her lips "okay then." She shrugged but still observing my every movement. Avoiding her gaze doesn't even help me at all when my eyes got locked with an eyes of the man I was thinking just a few minutes ago.

There he is, sitting along with his friends, staring at me with a blank face but still his eyes screams attention and guilt.

I quickly diverted my eyes away and got choked by my pasta. Oh what a life. The sound of my coughs caught the attentions of the other students eating near us. They throw glares at me but I don't care.

Ignoring them, I reach out for the tissue on the table and wiped my lips just in case there's a pasta smudge on the corner.

"Hey, calm down girl." Aira hurriedly went to my side tapping my back "why such in a hurry? Go easy on the food, it's not like they would fly away if you don't hurry up." Aira keep tapping my back and giggled "Aish, this girl." She muttered handing me a glass of water.

"I didn't, it just suddenly happened. I don't know." I lied quickly glancing at Namjoon's direction. He's not there anymore.

Where did he go?

"Here drink some water."

"Thanks." I drank it all and put it on the table after. I stood up swinging my bag over my shoulder.

"Wait, you're done eating?" Aira asked following me from behind and I nodded. "But there's still a lot there on your plate. Are you sure? You're not sick aren't you?" She placed a hand on my forehead.

"Aira no, i'm not sick. I just don't feel like eating a lot of food today." I shook my head "Can we go home? I need to finish the activity." I muttered the last sentence and when I say activity I meant the activity in IED. It's a miracle Mrs Hyun give us a second chance to present our activity.

"Sure. But hey, you're going to do that alone?"

"Yup. I can do that without his help." I proudly nodded holding onto the straps of my bag and she shook her head in disagreement.

"Whatever. You just don't want to admit that you're avoiding him." She murmured and I just pretend that I didn't heard it but this cheek of mine is betraying me as I felt it reddening. Good thing she's not looking or else she would tease me for it.

As we reached the school gate we were met by someone I didn't expect to see today. There he is standing outside the school wearing a cool outfit that could catch a girls' hearts, except me.

Julius.

"Julius?" I call narrowing my eyes just to make sure that i'm seeing it right.

His head snapped towards us "Y/n! Aira!" He smile waving his hand to us and before I could wave back Aira's loud squeal almost made my eardrum explode as she ran towards Julius almost jumping into him due to excitement.

God this girl.

"Julius?! Oh my god it's really you!" She cupped his face between her hands pinching his cheeks cutely, looking at him with eyes full of sparks as if she just found a precious treasure.

Julius giggled at her reaction and grabbed her hand, holding it "Calm down first, okay? Yes, it's me." He nodded and hugged her "You're still the same Aira I know. You didn't change." He added before his eyes travel back to me.

"Aren't you going to join?" He playfully raised an eyebrow and I walked closer joining the friendship hug.

We finally broke the hug after a few seconds.

"What brings you here, mister?" Aira asked as I nodded, agreeing with her question.

"I came to personally invite you two to come to my house party tonight. I'm expecting you both to be there."
He explained and I looked at Aira who's eyes are pleading for me to agree.

Honestly, I don't want to go because I've never been into a house party and it's not really my thing. But at this situation, my friend Julius inviting me to attend his party and Aira wanting me to say yes.

These two precious creature for me, I couldn't resist them so I didn't have a choice but to say yes.

I kept staring at the two beautiful dresses that is lying spread on my bed, I think the floral one would only make me look like a lost little kid at the party, the red one is too short in my eyes. Aira's the one who bought this dress for me, I've keeping it for a decade in my closet because there's no reason for me to use it. But now, I think...it's time to use this. I want to make myself look better atleast just tonight, I don't want Julius to feel embarrass and disappointed.

Okay Y/n, you can do this. I thought holding up the red as I examine it more. It's not that actually short, it's just...i'm not confident to wear it. But screw it, there's nothing wrong if I try.

With a deep breath, I head to the bathroom and wear the dress.

Checking myself in the mirror, it doesn't look that bad, the dress hugs all my curves perfectly that I didn't know I have those until I wear this dress. Damn, I really have. How come I didn't notice it?

Okay that's enough. I shook my head walking out of the bathroom to do my hair and make-up for the first time.

I'm just going to trust my instinct, hope I won't look like a scary Joker saying 'Why So Serious' to everyone there.

After three hours of just preparing, the doorbell rang just in time. It's Aira, I hope I wouldn't scare her with my face right now. I thought feeling nervous as I open the door.

There she is, fully dressed up like a star idol who's ready to sing 'Fancy' anytime.

"W-what's wrong?" I asked as she just stared at me with a shocked face. Oh no, I really look bad, right? After a 'five-second-shock' her face lit up before she jump into me almost knocking me out but good thing i'm strong enough to carry her.

"Bitch, you finally did it! Oh my god, my friend is not a nerd now! I'm so happy." She finally let go off me, jumping up and down with her three-inches high heals clicking on the floor.

"Oh no no no, i'm sorry to say this but it's just for tonight." I said and her smile turns into a frown then smacked my butt. "Aw!"

"Aish! You--whatever. Let's go."
