Chapter 10 : Be With Me
"Whoa, who's this chick Tae?" The guy with dimples asked Taehyung. I know I should be embarrassed right now, I am actually. But all I can feel is anger towards the guy sitting across from me.
"Her name's Elise." He informed them. "Elise, this is Namjoon." He refers to the man with dimples earlier and I just smiled at him. "Jin." He then pointed to the guy with two ladies on his sides. "That's Jungkook." It's the guy who almost hit me with his car.
They're the same guys at the resort. I know they were seven, but why are they only five? "Yoongi is sleeping at the rooftop." Taehyung rolls his eyes and then he eventually laughed. I wouldn't blame that Yoongi guy for staying there if he wants some quiet and peace.
Where's Hoseok? "That guy with Crissie is Jimin." Taehyung continues with the introduction. I involuntarily scoffed at the mention of his name and I think Taehyung heard me.
"There ain't no church around here. The baptismal ceremony is in the other town." Jimin jokes earning a few laughs from our companies. He looks at me with a stupid smile on his face and those infuriating brown eyes of him are holding too much evilness.
"Why are you dressed all formal?" Jungkook asks curiously. I doubt that he doesn't know, he seems to be the type of guy who gets along really well with Jimin, they must be friends for life actually.
"Someone said, this is going to be a formal party and he's a complete douchebag." I look at Jimin when I spit out the last part. They were all speechless, and I guess it's because they didn't expect someone like me to blurt out such words.
"Elise! I'm glad you're here! Jimin didn't tell me you were coming." It was Hoseok, why does it seem like he's the only normal human being here? His eyes traveled down to my outfit and his expression changes.
"Anyways, they were having another round of Flip, Sip or Strip in the kitchen, let's go." Hoseok excitedly invites and the rest of his friends groaned, but they all stand up and head straight to the kitchen.
Taehyung gestures for me to come along, and I just did. The room is filled with many drunk college students and I'm starting not to like it here.
All of them gathered around the round table with cups filled with beverages on top of it. "You should join Elise," Jungkook said, grinning at me.
"She's not." Before I can even decline, Jimin did it for me. Why does he get to choose if I should play or not? After what he did to me, he should just continue being silent.
If he'll continue on pestering me, then I'll just bear with it, I'll not entertain him until he runs out of energy from ruining my happy life. "C'mon Elise." Jungkook presses and I can see Jimin already boiling with anger in the corner while Jungkook is staring at me, his hands resting on the table and a playful smile on his lips.
"She doesn't even know the game." Jimin reasoned out, and I can already feel plenty of eyes on us.
"I'm in." I shyly raised my hand and Hoseok smiled at me. This game seems harmless anyways. Hoseok called everyone's attention. He begins with the rules and mechanics of the game, probably because of me.
He says the player must flip the coin and guess if it will land on tails or head. If you guess it right, you pass the coin to the right. If the player guesses wrong he will have to pass the coin to the left and will choose between drinking a cup full of beer or removing one of your clothes.
The moment I heard the consequences I already thought about backing out, I look at the rest of them and they don't seem to be bothered.
Taehyung is on my side and he gives me a smile that says "it's okay".
I can't be that unfortunate right? I'll probably guess it right. It started on Jin's side and most of them already guessed wrong, the guys chose to drink the beer, and the girls, I mean sluts, are already half-naked.
Without me knowing it's already my turn. "Uhm, tails." Their eyes are all on me and it's nerve-wracking having all their attentions.
I flip the coin and catch it with my right hand and when I put it over my left hand it revealed head.
"Damn it." I cuss under my breath.
"Choose Elise." Hoseok beams at me like it's nothing serious. Yeah, this game is harmless. I went here for a drink and that's what I'm getting.
I chug the familiar taste of beer in one go, and it hurts my throat. I pass the coin to the girl on my left, and luckily she guesses it right, giving the coin back to me.
=====
The game finishes when one of the girls are already fully naked, I think her name is Crissie, Jimin's side hoe. But another guy took him.
I already drank five cups of beer and there's still another one on my hand. "What time ish it?" I asked Taehyung.
"You're drunk Elise."
"No, I'm not. What time ish it?" My vision is quite blurred and my head is spinning.
"C'mon, let me get you a glass of water instead." He grabbed the cup of beer in my hand and grasped my arm, pulling me away from the crowd. "Stay here." He gestured for me to sit down on the couch.
I sit unladylike, resting my elbow on the armchair with my head on my hand. I scan the area filled with wasted teenagers, but I can't really focus.
A couple occupied the empty seat on the couch beside me and they started making out. "Get a room." I sluggishly commented even though I know that they aren't even paying attention to me.
I stand up on my feet and make my way to find beer. I need more, I didn't think it would work actually. I'm forgetting about Ryan in the meantime.
I'm walking wobbly and my heels aren't helping me. I know that I'll eventually bump into someone rude but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. "Watch where you're going." I hissed and continued laughing.
"Want a drink?" The guy offered to me. I turned around to look at him, but I don't recognize his face. It's all a blurry image, all I can comprehend is that he's offering his cup to me.
"Thanks." I grab the cup with my half-asleep eyes.
"Do you wanna go somewhere quiet?" He suggested and I just nod my head in agreement. I didn't dodge when he wields my hand and pulls me to somewhere that I don't have any idea on where it is.
We climbed upstairs and I stumble a few times while walking, we arrived in front of a huge door. When he opens it, it's a huge walk-in closet.
I walk forward to look at the stuff and the clothes. They are designer brands.
Rich people.
I heard the door click behind me but continued looking around. I wonder if it is Hoseok's wardrobe. The shoes are for men but they are beautiful and of course, expensive.
It makes me want to steal one.
A pair of hands touch my shoulder from behind, and I suddenly felt shivers running down my spine. "What are you doing?" I ask.
"Something you'll like." He whispers near my left ear and his foul breath reaches my nose.
I can feel him touch the zipper slider of my dress. "Stop." Instead of stopping he shuts me up. I attempted to take a step forward to move away and avoid contact from him, but he already had his other arm wrapped around my waist tightly.
"Help!" I can't think clearly but I know that this is something wrong.
"I heard this room is soundproof, a perfect one for some banging around." He hissed and fear crept all over my body. I kept wriggling to get away from his grip but he's too strong.
"Stop moving!" Without me knowing, a tear fell down from my eye.
"Help!" I tried to scream but it turned out to be a whisper. My tears continued falling. I can feel that he easily slid the zipper down, and he's forcing my dress to slide down now.
Somebody help me. I mentally plead. All I wanted was to forget a few of my worries and not this.
His hand travels through my thighs he's going higher, his hand is already touching my safety shorts, and he's tugging it. "Help!" I cried.
The sound of a hidden door opening is a miracle that made my spirit filled with hope again. "Elise!"
"Help me." I bawled, my eyes are already heavy from too much crying.
The guy moved backward and he's not touching me anymore. I fell on my knees and continued crying. "Where did he touched you?" Jimin asks.
I looked down on my thighs and he followed it, "Stay right here." He said as he stood up.
Jimin brought me inside a room where there's only the two of us. "Do you feel better?" He asks and I shake my head yes.
"Why were you in that room?" I ask this time. I sit on the bed and remove my eyeglasses to wipe it using the end of my cloth.
"I was looking through some of Hoseok's clothes, my pants got soaked to be exact."
"What did you do to... him?" I don't even know the guy's name and I won't bother to know that satanic name.
"Busted his lips, and Hoseok kicked him out."
"Why did you lie to me?" I sound so weak, so vulnerable.
"About what?" He asks, taking a step forward to me.
"That this party is formal. My room is a mess from finding something to wear, I ruined mom's clothes and I don't know how to go home looking like I lost at a game." I didn't know it sucks to feel something like this. I've been lying to Ryan the whole time, and if he knew a single thing that I did to him I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks up with me.
"I'm sorry Elise. I just don't want you to go here." He confesses.
"Why?"
"I just don't." He looks away from me for a second. "See what happens when you're at a party like this? You're not the type of person to attend parties like this."
"You don't even know me." My eyebrows knitted together in frustration. "You don't get to decide if I want to do something." I scoffed, then put my eyeglasses back again before standing up. His hands in his pockets as he gazes over me.
"Where are you going? You can't go back there." He blocks the door. "You're drunk, you'll be getting into another trouble."
"And you don't care." I'm already sober and it's the truth. That dreadful situation woke me back to reality. I reach for the knob the same time he reaches for my arm. "Let me go," I said through gritted teeth.
"I already saved your ass twice, can't you be nicer to me?" His voice went higher.
"You lied to me! If I knew that this was just a fucked-up college party then I wouldn't even go here and none of these would happen!" I yell at him. I thought he was being nice to me the other day, I thought he was ignoring me at school because he realized that he already had enough but it was all an act to lure me into something.
"I know, and I said I am sorry." He caressed my cheek using his other hand and his touch surprisingly calms me. "Just stay here while I find a way for you to go home." He bargained and I nod in defeat. He's looking into my eyes and he holds a lot of emotion, but then he looks down on my lips.
My eyes started to blink faster. I know he's about to kiss me but I'm not doing anything to move away.
It's already too late to back out when his lips met mine. Just like the usual, it tastes like ice mint and a little mix of cherry. It's must taste awful but I don't care.
The way his lips moved slowly and collided with mine is all I'm thinking about. His other hand is no longer in touch with my arm, it's on my waist now and he's gently gripping onto it.
His tongue is finding an entrance and I helped it find one. He played with mine and there's a hot sensation building inside my stomach.
His hand that was caressing my cheek went down to my neck and to my shoulder.
I never got this intimate with Ryan, he never touched me like this. He never made me feel things down there.
Ryan.
I pulled away from the kiss and his eyes looked at me with worry. "What's wrong?" He asks.
"This is wrong." I took a step back to have some distance from him. "Jimin, I have a boyfriend and you kissing me around whenever you want is not right."
"Do you think I don't know about Ryan?" He asks, he knew him. "That's why I'm avoiding you earlier. We need to keep some distance. I told myself that if you declined Hoseok's invitation I'll leave you for good. I was so disappointed but it was for the right thing." He started explaining.
"At Mrs. Feinberg's class as soon as she dismisses the class I hurried outside to avoid you. But then you called me, and then you reconsidered Hoseok's invitation. I thought about sending you the wrong address, but instead, I told you it's a formal party so that once you get here, you'll be weirded out and go back home."
"But I didn't," I said. He's been avoiding me all day, and it's the first time that I felt so disappointed to get something that I want to happen.
He takes a step towards me, "Yes, and now that you made your choice, you'll be with me even if the world doesn't want to, even if you have someone else in your life."
