(Bella) 

The next day, Cindy walked out of her room around ten. She yawned and sat at the table with me while I was eating cereal.

"So," she began, "what happened last night? You never gave the signal. You just ran off with the hottest guy at that party."

I looked down. "Oh, sorry about that."

She put her arms on the table. "Never mind. Just tell me what happened with that gorgeous morsel Seokjin. He's legendary, you know. After you left with him, everybody was buzzing about it."

"Everybody?" I asked, alarmed.

"Some of those sorority girls were upset. It seems they had their eye on him from the minute they arrived. I mean, who wouldn't, right? I'd never seen him up close," she said and sighed. "He did look great from a distance, but he looks like a god when you're closer to him. His levels of hotness are off the charts." She grabbed my arm and shook me. "Please tell me that you had that Greek god body all over yours, but tell me in great detail so that I can experience it vicariously."

"I just met him!" I exclaimed. "Besides, we were only alone for twenty or thirty minutes."

"So?" She leaned forward. "Okay. Don't take this the wrong way, but I heard talk about him last night. He certainly likes the ladies, and they like him. He's got a reputation for being very good at what he does. I've heard he can get girls off in mere minutes. They say he's amazing either fast or slow. He would have definitely been up for you, if you know what I mean."

"Stop!" I exclaimed. "Nothing happened. He was a gentleman. We sat in his living room and talked for a bit. That's all."

"Boo! That's not the impression I got of him. His eyes just yell seduction. Everyone was sure you were in for quite a night once you left with him," she said with a grin.

"Well, he didn't try anything. Then Jimin showed up, and he walked me back here," I said. I saw the question in her eyes. "And nothing happened with him, either."

She rolled her eyes. "Good! Come on, Bella. Why would you waste time with drama king Jimin if it was perfectly obvious that Mr. Sexy was interested in you?"

"You're crazy," I said. "Why would someone like him be interested in me? He was just picking on Jimin, I think. He's in a totally different league from the rest of the guys. He doesn't seem real. I mean, besides being gorgeous, he must be wealthy. His apartment is so incredible."

"Polite, wealthy, and gorgeous," Cindy said with a sigh. "He's picture perfect. I still don't see why you wouldn't have slept with him. You should've treated yourself. I mean, a one-night stand with a guy like him would sustain me for life. Ay, Dios mio!" She fanned her face with her hand.

I shook my head in reproach. "That's because you're a crazy slut."

"That's just my hot-blooded Latin spirit. The guys certainly like it."

I rolled my eyes. "Speaking of, how did things go with Taehyung?"

She reached for the cereal box and pulled out a handful. "Okay, I guess. He's so damned cute, but he's very quiet. He just kind of sat there, watching everyone else. He didn't make a move, so it will be up to me. That Namjoon is something else, though. He knows so much about everything. Tae said he's a genius, but I don't know if he meant it for real. Could be. And he's cute, too. I heard he was also into you. Not bad, Bella. Three guys in one night."

"Don't say it like that. It sounds gross."

"If there's anything that will make Jimin cry is seeing you hooking up with any of his friends," she continued. "It would serve him right, too!"

"No!" I exclaimed. "I told you that it was not my intention to hook up with any of his friends. Besides, I wouldn't want Seokjin to think badly of me."

"Oh, really?" she asked. "And why is that?"

My phone buzzed, and I checked the message. It was Jimin. He wanted to take me out to lunch at one. Lunch sounded safe, so I replied with a yes and got to my feet. "Seems I have a lunch date in a few hours," I said.

"Well, if it doesn't involve eating in bed with a naked Seokjin, I don't want to hear about it," Cindy called out as I closed the door to my room.
