song of the chapter: outside - calvin harris ft. ellie goulding

-

Spot 33 is full. Turns out, Hana was invited to a party of one of her 'rich friends' who was able to rent out a whole club. Hana has many connections.

Was I in the mood to party? No. I am supposed to be working tonight.

I even went to Gina's all dressed in my uniform, only to find out that Seokjin had been notified about my absence tonight. When I asked who had notified him, he mentioned that the new owner did.

Jungkook told his father and his father gave me a night off. He had let Jimin and Taehyung know that he couldn't go tonight to the party.

It was going to be just Hana, Jimin, Taehyung and I thankfully.

Jungkook seems to come back when I intend to forget about him. It seems to be impossible to forget; but it's not impossible to pretend that we didn't happen. So that's what I'm doing, pretending that what we had was just a one month friendship and not a real relationship.

"Your going to permanently damage your hair if you keep dyeing it, you know?" Taehyung speaks directly to Jimin as we begin walking to the party.

Yes, Jimin dyed his hair once more. This time it was now dark brown. Just yesterday he had his hair blonde and now it's dark. It accented his features perfectly.

Jimin chuckles, "I take good hair of my hair, Taehyungie." he smiles at him.

All of us follow Hana who leads the way. She stops in front of two bouncers that cover a small VIP area. What is she doing?

"Name." The tallest bouncer asks Hana and stares at us.

Oh boy...

We are going to get kicked out for sure.

"Hana, I'm friends with Hoseok." she replies and the men instantly nod, letting us pass.

Okay then...

We follow Hana and sit on the purple circular booths. The bouncers left once we settled in.

"Okay so I'm guessing Hoseok's the one who organized this party?" Jimin responds.

Hana nods and speaks again, "Yes, I met him through another friend!" she shouts, the music is too loud.

We nod. I catch a glimpse to my left at Taehyung, who looks at me with a guilty expression on his face. I must apologize to him.

I messed up.

I shouldn't have lashed out at him like that. It was my wrongdoing and I must fix it.

Clearing my throat, I nudge him lightly, "Can I talk to you?" I question.

The dark haired boy nods and begins standing up as I follow his lead.

"Where are you going?" Hana asks us both.

Taehyung turns around and answers, "To get some drinks, Dae's coming with me."

Hana nods and turns to Jimin.

"Let's dance!" she takes his wrist and drags him to the dance floor below us.

I chuckle and follow Taehyung.

We go through the sea of people, he holds my hand. We come across the halls where the bathrooms are. That's were he halts. He turns around and the silence takes over our space.

"I'm sorry." I blurt out.

Sighing, I continue, "I know that it was a joke and that I shouldn't have reacted that way," Pausing, I take in his features, he has a fond smile on his face, "there's just something going on and it's taking over me–"

"I know, it wasn't my place to make that joke in the first place," he replies, "I should be the one apologizing." He responds, taking me by surprise.

I shake my head in disagreement, "I snapped at you, you don't have to apologize."

Taehyung disagrees, "It's my fault, so I'm sorry Dae-Dae."

"I'm sorry." I say as I watch him open his arms. Instantly, I fall into his embrace.

"I don't know what he did to you, and it's not my place to ask," I could feel the vibrations in his chest as he speaks, "but when you are ready to tell Jimin and I, we'll be here." he hugs me tighter than before. Hana had told him that she knew, but managed to keep it to herself.

And that's the second time in the day that I let everything out. My sobs startle him. He places a kiss on my hair and continues hugging me.

We stay in each other's arms for a few minutes. It feels like a lifetime, but thanks to Taehyung, I feel safe and calm.

"I just want a few hours where he doesn't wander around in my head," I manage to say after a few minutes of sobbing, "just a few hours, that's all."

He takes my shoulders and pulls me back lightly, so I stay looking at him.

"I got just the thing that will help!" He chimes with a big smile on his face.

"You can dance, you can jive," the four of us sing as Dancing Queen is played, due to the request of Taehyung towards the DJ, "having the time of your life!"

People look at us like we're crazy, but we don't care. We are out here to have fun.

Hana spins me around, Taehyung and Jimin dance crazily around us, "See that girl, watch that scene digging the dancing queen!" her voice cracks at that last note, pointing at me and we all laugh.

Let's just say that this has become our favorite song to dance to. This began when one time that we went out, the song started playing. We began dancing to it and it has become a special song to us. It reminds us about all the good and the bad times we've been through.

The song comes to an end. I am out of breath and so are my best friends. We look at each other before laughing.

I love them. They mean so much to me. I am proud to say that they are my best friends, and I wouldn't change them at all.

"I love you guys." I say jokingly before pulling them into a group hug.

A mix of laughs and 'I love you too's' fills our space. We pull away from our hug and look at each other. A smile starts forming on my face, before I speak, "Let's keep dancing!" I cheer and start dancing with them to the upbeat music.

Outside by Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding blasts from the speakers.

The music fills my system, making me forget everything. I'm living this moment. There's no worry in me, no pain, no sadness; just pure energy and happiness. My mind is free from all those thoughts.

This is exactly what I needed. They are exactly what I needed.
