Danger in party

Taehee's Pov-

"Am I looking all right?" I looked in the mirror for the hundredth time pulling the skirt down striving to make it longer which was impossible. "You look smashing," Deji complimented enthusiastically, causing me to chuckle. Yet I couldn't help but to feel discomfited about the teeny- weeny length of the dress. "Isn't it too much short?" I struggled with the dress finding it fairly spartan. "Girl, it's beautiful and this is very usual in every party," she sat on the bed with her leg folded upon the other showing her dress which hardly covered her chest and ass. But that wasn't my concern, my concern was my dress. My lips disappeared into a thin line as I whirled on my toes examining my outfit.

'Okay, it's fine.'

I applied a dark shade of red on my lips, matching with my back elegant bodycon dress that rested on my mid-thigh.

Set to go now!

I held Deji's arm so not to get lost in this unknown place. Although, all the people were from our university but still I was a stranger to them and so did they are. The whole hall was pounding along the beat of the loud songs. My ears could bleed at any moment. Many people were dancing on the floor almost losing their balance and some were flirting with others.

'God what have I gotten myself into!'

I clasped her arm with more strength as we were thrusting our way between the beast like people. "Don't get scared, Taehee. I promise I'll be with you all the time," Deji smiled and whispered loudly near my ears which eased my heart a little.

The smell of the alcohol was making me nauseous. A churning lump formed on my stomach due to the excessive smell of alcohol and smoke. We, with lot of struggles, finally made our way to the bar. There were less people to my relief. Before we could take our seat, a man came to us with a wide smile which I found evil,"Deji, you've come." They hugged each other and Deji planted a kiss on his cheek. Eww, disgusting.

"Who's this gorgeous lady?" he laid his eyes on me, his lips forming a lopsided smile. "Meet my friend Taehee," Deji came between for the introduction. He lended his hands for a handshake,"I'm Cha Yeon-seok." I, with my signature awkward smile, touched his hand,"Eun Taehee." He again turned to Deji with a smirk,"Come upstairs. Need to show you something." She blushed and nodded,"Taehee just wait for sometime. I'm coming back in a few seconds." Without waiting for my reply she sprinted with that boy. I couldn't even tell her anything. I looked around my surroundings and got feared more. She promised me she wouldn't gonna leave me alone. But then why? I started to get suffocated from the continuous scent of alcohol. My head was revolving by virtue of anxiety. I sat there for what looked like hours. My internal was flooded with adrenaline.

'Why I came here?! I just dug a death hole for myself.'

Time was ticking away and there was no sight of Deji, increasing my level of nervousness."Why a pretty girl like you is sitting here alone?" an unknown voice interrupted my thoughts and I lifted my head to see the guy. A young man might be a little older than me, was standing ahead of me scanning me from top to bottom. "I'm waiting for my friend," I emphasized the word 'friend' indicating him that I wasn't alone and he must not dare to meddle up with me. "Um, are you talking about the girl with whom you came? Her name is Deji if I'm not wrong," he took a seat behind me with a glass of vodka in his hand. I just moved my head up and down, not desiring to have a conversation with him. He leaned on the counter while sipping from his drink,"I saw her in the upstairs with a boy having fun on the bed." My eyes widened at his statement, analysing the meaning. "W-What?" I looked at his eyes being bewildered. He again drank from his glass and gave a one-sided smile,"Yes, beautiful." I was about to puke in his face for the terrible name.

'I know I'm beautiful but this word feels loathsome from your mouth.'

I scoffed inwardly since I didn't have the courage to do that in his mouth. But moving to the crucial topic, how could Deji do that to me! She left me here alone just to have fun with that horrible guy.

'No what if he's lying? Deji can't be like that.'

"I know you won't trust me. Lemme take you to that room then you'll get to know," I didn't realize my thoughts were loud enough to make him hear. I was perplexed whether to go with him or not. By looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to be a bad one. Moreover, I'd be able to find Deji too. I couldn't think straight anymore. I was desperate to go home. If this was the only way to go home then I was up for it. I stood on my feet and accepted to go with him by mumbling 'okay'.

Walking through the hallway with a stranger was very bothersome. But one thing was great that, the noises coming from central hall were deafening gradually as we moved away. My ears got some rest and peace. Because of the building stress earlier I couldn't get the chance to applaud the luxuriousness of the whole mansion. Yep, a peep from the university threw a party in his own mansion. The interiors were designed so glamorously. It was really engaging. The owner of the party must be rich, very rich. Step by step the corridor became empty, only the sounds of our feet could be heard. "Where's the room? How far is it?" I queried, caution overtook me and my guard was warning me with a siren. "Do you think they'll have fun around crowded rooms where noises are audible? Isn't it obvious that they're in an isolated place, to have some privacy," he scoffed followed by a playful smirk. How much I wished to wipe off that smirk with my heels. Yeah, my heels were strong enough to dig a whole on his forehead. But he got a point, who'd like to get banged around noisy place? At least not me.

Again, the empty halls made me panicked. No one would come for rescue if something bad happened. No worries, my heels were sufficient to help myself. Heaven only knew why in this menacing time my mind was expecting Jimin to show up. It had been better or even best if Jimin was here. My mind was endlessly pondering about Jimin. I was anticipating Jimin to come here and take me away.

I stopped walking right off and looked at him with a sharp gaze,"Whether she's having fun or not, that's not my problem. Thanks for your concern and now I'll take my leave." I couldn't go with him anymore, the corridor was dark from the junction and finer not to go. Afterall, I didn't want to risk my life. I turned on my heels to walk away from him as soon as possible. He plucked my hand and pulled me towards him which lessened the distance between us. His lips made its way near my ears,"Where do you think you're going?"
I tried to remove his firm grip from my hand,"Leave me. I don't want to go with you."
"Do you really think I accompanied you just to take you to your friend? What a fool you're!" he squeezed my hand as if it was a ping-pong ball. By this time I realized I was really f*cked up. "Let go of me. Or you'll have to pay for it," I still didn't give up and played a cool act in front of him which was of no use.
IN THE FIRST PLACE WHY DID YOU COME TO AN ISOLATED PLACE WITH A GUY WHOM YOU DIDN'T KNOW !!
My mind was going through this kind of sorts. Terror sucked every breath from my mouth.

He pushed me to the wall, pressing his body on me and smirked again,"Let's have fun together, should we? I promise I'm not gonna hurt you. You'll just feel pleasure," his words made me want to punch his so-called handsome face. I had to get out of here. I slowly positioned my knee between his legs while distracting his attention by keeping an intense stare with him. He intently kept staring me. Just as I was about to knock his valuable thing with my knee, a hard punch landed on his face. I was quite flabbergasted by the sudden action yet I was pleased.
I turned to see the man who accorded that painful thump, my eyes were left wide open. "J-Jimin,"I spilled out. His face was red out of anger making me swallow hard. "You bastard, what's your problem?" with quivering legs he stood up from the hard tiled surface. Jimin trailed me behind him,"Stay behind." "Do you know who  I'm?" he wiped the fresh red fluid dripping from his lower lip. I scrunched my nose in the sight. "I don't even want to know you. But do you know who I'm? I'm the owner of this mansion. I conducted this party. One word then the security will throw you out of the party. Do you want that? Shhhh think how much shame you'll feel when you are being dragged out of here in front of everyone," Jimin, with a casual look hands tucked inside the pocket, said. Ok, wait....what!? Had my ears stopped working due to the earlier loud songs? How could Jimin be the holder of the mansion? You gotta be kidding me, right?

The same went with that scumbag. He was paralyzed to the spot while shock held him into a tightening grip. He took two small steps backward. "Well, I'm not scared of you, get that in you head. I just wanted to have fun with her. I didn't know that she's your girlfriend," he rolled his eyes and walked away from us. Girlfriend? I'M NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND.
Wasn't it too easy to shooe him away? Coward. I, on the other, expected to have a few action scenes between them. It'd have been fun to watch an intense fight between them for a girl and that girl would be me. But turned out to be not.

"Follow me," with that Jimin started to walk away and I followed him quietly. Looking by this face, he didn't seem to be in a good mood to share some chit chats, plus it wasn't a situation to talk. His silent scared me to the soles of my shoes. We exited from the building and entered into the parking lot. He unlocked his car causing it to make a beep sound. I was left open-mouthed. It wasn't a normal or ordinary car. Instead it was the latest SUV model of Hyundai, The Hyundai Palisade. The price.... leave it apart, a penniless girl like me doesn't have the position to buy such a big-budget car. Leaving me behind he hopped into car and ignited the engine. I was baffled either to get inside or not. Wasn't it a gesture for me to return home by myself?

"Are you going to stand like this or come inside?" he yelled from inside causing me to heave a relieved smile. With head hung low, I plopped on the seat. Even the inside of the car was so sumptuous. If it wasn't an anomalous situation, I'd have been bouncing and clicking selcas of myself.

I had been dying to ask him all the questions that were dancing inside my head but didn't dare to. I didn't have any clue why I was being treated like it was my fault. I didn't invite that piece of shit to have fun with me. I was being deceived by that despicable mortal, was that my culpability?

'Yeah, yeah walking with an outsider isn't your fault. I understand.'

My inner self which was always in opposition to me stated with sarcasm. I glanced at him for a brief second and realized. The thing my brain realized is that he looked cool. And the coolness was doubled because of the manner in which he drove the car. The sleeves of his silky white shirt was rolled up, giving a good view of his veiny hands. His hairs parted from the side making him look like a dashing handsome man. Whatever the state of the situation is I never forget to admire Jimin's features. Funny right?

"Is that true? I mean did you really organize the party? Are you the homeowner too?" I opened my mouth at last and decided to give a voice. Since I wasn't a girl to keep my mouth shut.
