♡Costume Party Series♡

Jin stared surprised at Yoongi’s back when the latter walked away from him with a deep frown furrowing his brows. Or well, not that surprised in fact. Yoongi pulled at his girlfriend’s forearm muffling what seemed like nonsense to Jin and left him alone with his thoughts. He knew this was going to happen, Yoongi wasn’t really feeling like going to the party and Jin was the one doing half of the convincing, but now he was alone and the rest of his friends were all scattered around.

Seokjin released a sigh and took in the sight of people chilling to the loud music and the drinks, but he didn’t really catch a glimpse of the boys so he walked calmly towards the stage, surfing between the moving bodies to a safer and maybe loner place if he was lucky enough. 

Actually, the one convincing him about coming here was Hoseok, who went away to park his car and seemed to be lost in the way because he never came back. Now standing at the opposite side of the crowded stage he felt somehow awkward, but tried to shrug that feeling away, not everything could be so bad right? 

He spotted a table and decided to pour himself a glass of soda and maybe grab some snacks. Once in front of the table he assessed his options and picked a few cookies, shoving one inside his mouth. After that, his hands instantly went for the Coca-Cola bottle but when he tried to open it, the cap was so hard he struggled. 

-You’re not getting away from this - he murmured under his breath kind of annoyed and pulled the Coca-Cola close to his torso, gripping the cap more firmly this time. He was oh so ready to fight that bottle and he was putting his heart to it, so deep into the task that when he moved a step forward due to the struggle and got closer the table, a little scream made him jump back, the Coca-Cola bottle fell noisily to the floor and he stared down. Peeking from underneath the table’s cloth was… a hand?

Seokjin was staring at it at a loss of words, the hand was lean and delicate and he had just stepped on it, but he didn’t have much time to think about it before that same hand got a good grip of the edge of the bright blue pants from his Super Mario costume and started to pull him down. 

-What the…- Jin had to kneel and was starting to freak out before a girl revealed her face from under the white cloth, her hand still with a deadly grip on Jin’s pants, her eyes were big whilst staring at him expectantly and her free hand was pressing her index finger against her lips motioning for Seokjin to be quiet.

You looked at him  and then back to the party’s crowd, freaking out for having to come out of your little hideout.

 -Please don’t scream- this time you grasped his arm. He stared at you, mouth hanging widely open and you ignored the aching of your hand to pull him towards you. -Come, come. Quickly!-

Your voice was all anxious and Jin stared back to the party, so you thought he was getting back to it. But he didn’t, and even if he thought you were being a total crazy, he followed you. You held the cloth up, enough for him to slid next to you under the table and take part inside your little hideout. You took the forgotten Coca-Cola bottle quickly and let the white cloth fall again, leaving you alone under the table with the handsome boy that had just stepped on your hand.

Silence took over both of you, along with quick little nervous glances at each other. This was beyond weird to say the least. You didn’t know what were you expecting him to say, maybe call you awkward, weird or something of that sort, but he surprised you and an apology was the first thing that came out of his mouth. 

-I’m sorry for stepping on you- his voice was soft and had a warm feeling within. He seemed confused for your behavior and you couldn’t blame him. You played with the hand that had been crushed by his feet unconsciously, rubbing it softly. 

-It’s ok… It was my fault- He stared at you in the eyes for what felt like a really long minute before his eyes wandered down to the hand you were caressing.

-May I?- he stretched his hand towards you, his palm up waiting for your hand. You gave it to him and his long fingers held softly your hand, his thumb was running over the reddened parts on it softly while he examined it. 

-I’m ok- you said, your hand was tingling and a little bit numb but that was all. Jin raised his eyes towards you and you meet with real care. 

-Are you sure?- his eyes insisted on yours, you felt tiny under his gaze and slightly overwhelmed. He was closer now to you, both of your knees were touching and your eyes stopped on his attractive features longer than needed.

You nodded in a daze, his fingers felt so soft and if you ignored the fact that you were both under a table the whole situation was almost romantic in your head. He smiled and you felt your cheeks burn, averting your gaze from his to fix your eyes somewhere else.

-What are you doing down here anyway?- ok, so it couldn’t be ignored. You fixed your eyes away from him and  smiled to your own thoughts, it was a silly reason, but still a reason.

-I’m hiding- you stated as a matter of facts. Seokjin laughed, like really laughed and he had an odd laugh that was amusing, cute and beyond lovely.

-Well that’s clear- he said almost choking and your smile grew bigger. When he actually calmed down a little, you spoke again.

-I stained another girl’s outfit with my drink and she was wearing an angel costume, it was all white… that was so bad- you said with a sorrowful voice. Jin nodded like understanding your dilemma -I was just too embarrassed-

Seokjin had a small smile on his face, his cheeks were getting puffier with it and he stared at you better now. His eyes strolled your features and the soft blush that was on your cheeks. Cute, he thought to himself. Then he assessed your costume. You had a pretty pink dress with matching heels, a little gold crown was on top of your hair and a pair of white gloves were lying next to you, so something clicked on his head. He smiled wider, picking up the gloves and giving them to you.

- Aren’t you dressed as Mario Bros’ princess Peach?- you took the gloves from his hands and put them on again. You nodded because he was right, that was your costume. -Well, I’m Jin and I’m dressed as Mario Bros… so I’m supposed to save you-

He helped you put on the gloves and then looked down at you. You giggled at this, everybody else in that party thought you were just an ordinary princess, but Jin knew better and that was actually the best part of your night.

-Well then Jin, I’m Y/N, welcome to my castle- you opened your arms, motioning to the little space beneath the table and both of you bursted into sincere laughter. -Don’t laugh- you slapped his forearm playfully. -Is really good in here-

Rummaging through your bright pink purse you took out all sorts of snacks from the party and a bottle of water, along with your cell phone with a game displaying on the screen.

-I have this- you said showing him all your little treasures and Jin made an expression of agreement, amused with all of this, but he thought it was quite nice down there. -Besides - you continued, shoving a strand of hair behind your ear with Jin’s eyes following your every move. -You can see everything from here-

-How’s that?-

-Come- you laid on your stomach and waited for Jin to do the same. Once he was lying next to you, you handed him a snack and moved away part of the cloth so you could stare outside. That part of the stage had a really dim light so unless you were really paying attention, you wouldn’t catch them sneak peeking.

Seokjin was all laughs next to you and you thought he had the cutest smile. He opened the snack bar to steal a bite before opening the rebel Coca-cola bottle and sharing little sips with you while staring at the party.

From there, everybody seemed far and as if the two of you were on your own little world. He stared at you from the corner of his eyes, the sound of your laugh was captivating and the little flicker of joy in your eyes whenever you pointed out at people here and there for him to see was really pretty, all of you seemed really pretty to him so he was actually enjoying the company and the shared weirdness.

He could finally see a few of his friends and he pointed them out to you, there was Taehyung chasing after a girl dressed as Sailor moon, and then appeared Jimin who was harassing a poor girl dressed as an angel who turned out to be the one you spilled your drink on.

-We can laugh at them together - Jin said to you, he felt way better now and so comfortable with you. The initial embarrassment was nowhere to be found so there was only fun now and a little bit of attraction, he admitted to himself.

Seokjin stole another glance towards your way, yes, definitely a little bit of attraction. He moved just a little closer to you, the sides of your shoulders were touching now and you moved your eyes to him to share a conspiratorial smile.

It only takes one awkward one to know another.
