Stay With Us

I was woken up by Tae jumping on my bed. “Wake up Maranda!”

“Yah! What?” I yell at him trying to roll out of the way of his feet.

“Well you are about to miss Jin’s dinner again. And Jimin has awesome news for you.” He says flopping down on the bed next to me.

I rub my eyes awake and pause my IPod. “What news?”

“You have to come to dinner to find that out.” He says smiling at me.

I let out a yawn and stretch out my back. “Ok I’m coming.” I roll out of bed fixing my makeup in the mirror before going to the table with everyone else. “Alright. What’s the big news?” I ask sitting down in the empty seat by Jimin.

All of the guys started smiling at me. I turned to see Tae had the biggest smile of all of them.

“Well I talked to our choreographer today.” Jimin began. “And one of the girl backup dancers quit so they need someone to take her place quickly. And I figured it was a good place for you to start so I told them you would do it.”

I looked at Jimin in shock. I quickly processed what he was saying however and got a huge smile on my face. “Are you serious?” I ask him.

“Yes.” He says laughing. “You start Monday.”

Without even thinking about it I jumped over hugging Jimin as hard as I could. “Oh my God I can’t wait!” I say screaming. “Thank you so much!” I finally release him and turn to Tae hugging him. “Thank you to everyone though. I couldn’t even be here if it wasn’t for all of you.” I say feeling tears start to form in my eyes.

“Oh no. Here comes the water works.” Tae says handing me a napkin.

“Shut up. I’m happy.” I say laughing and taking the napkin. “I just don’t know how to thank you guys.”

“There is no need to thank us.” Rap Mon says.

“Yeah. Seeing you this happy is thanks enough.” J-Hope adds coming over to hug me.

“We should go get drinks to celebrate.” Suga says breaking up mine and now J-Hopes happy tears.

“Sounds good to me!” I say standing up. “Where are we going?” I ask realizing I needed to change my clothes.

We decided on a dance club that was on the other side of Seoul while we ate. I changed into a red long sleeve dress that hugged all my curves and stopped above my knees. I dug through my shoes picking out a pair of black stilettos. I was determined to look hot as fuck tonight. I curled my hair putting in a black butterfly pin. I put on fresh makeup and walked out to the living room to join the boys.

“Alright let’s move!” I say excitedly heading to the door. I realize none of the boys have left their spots on the couch. “What?” I ask confused. “Are we not going anymore?” I realize they are all staring at me. “Is there a stain on my dress?” I ask looking myself over.

“Maranda. I know you are happy but should you be wearing that?” Tae finally yells out.

“What’s wrong with it?” I ask looking myself over again. “It covers my shoulders.”

“That’s all it covers!” Tae yells at me. “What would Uncle say if I let you leave the house looking like a hoochie!?!”

“I don’t look like a hoochie!” I say defending myself.

“You’re scaring Kookie in that thing!” He says gesturing to him. I look over and see him slowly take his eyes off of me.

“Tae. I know you are trying to protect me but I want to have fun tonight and look fucking hot cause right now I feel like hot shit. So either you all are coming with me or I’m going on my own.” I say folding my arms in front of my chest. “Besides. Dad bought me this dress and knows exactly how I look in it.” I say smugly.

“I’m gonna kill someone tonight I just know it.” He says getting off the couch. “Let’s go guys.” He says shaking his head at me.

We all pile into the van Jin driving. We get to the club valeting the van. We all stepped out and heard a bunch of girls start to scream when they saw the boys. I was the last one out being helped by Tae. The bouncer let us in right away.

“First! We drink!” Suga says leading our pack to the bar. “Guys, Maranda! What do you want? First rounds on me!” He says flagging down the bartender.

“Jack and cherry coke!” I shout trying to be louder than the music. After we all got our drinks we went to a table talking and laughing. I finished mine quickly not wanting to waist any second of this. “Who want’s shots? This rounds on me!” I shout standing up to go back to the bar. All the boys cheered at the mention of shots.

We all took turns buying the drinks for everyone. I was ready to dance. I could feel myself starting to slip from the drinks when I heard We Like to Party by Big Bang come on the speakers. “This is my shit!” I yell standing up. I look over and see Jimin laughing at me. I reach over grabbing his hand. “Dance with me!” I say pulling him to the dance floor. We started dancing to the song and singing every word to it. We continued to stay out there for over an hour dancing to whatever song they played. We then hear Good Boy by Taeyang and GD start playing.

“Now this is my shit!” Jimin yells at me grabbing my body closer to his as we moved. I felt his hands start running over my body. I wasn’t sure if it was the drinks talking or not but I loved every second of his touch. Once the song was over the DJ came on saying it was last call so we headed back to the table. I sat down next to Tae putting my head on his shoulder.

“Well I guess we should head home then.” I hear Jin say.

“Yeah. It’s already 2:00.” Suga says checking his phone.

We all head to the van. Jin had stopped drinking so by this point he was good to drive us home. I still being pretty lit was helped to my room by Jimin and Tae. I collapsed onto the bed kicking off my shoes. Tae said his good nights then stumbled out of my room to his.

“Sleep well Maranda.” Jimin said as he was about to leave.

“Wait!” I say stopping him then getting off the bed. “I need help.” I start reaching for the zipper of my dress unable to get it to pull down.

Jimin walks over unzipping my dress for me. I feel his fingers linger on my back sending chills up my spine. I then turn around facing him. “Thanks.” I say stepping closer to him.

“Um. Yeah no problem.” He stutters out. “Well, umm. Goodnight.” He says quickly leaving the room.

I take off my dress then falling into the bed passing out.

Jimin’s POV

I left Maranda’s room going to mine to go to bed. I was still drunk at this point but I was pretty sure Maranda just tried something. I wanted to kiss her so bad but I know V would have been upset and we both are way too gone. I fall into bed thinking of how her lips would have felt against mine. Thinking of going back in there to try it. But the consequences out wade here.

Maranda’s POV

I woke up the next day with a killer headache. I went into the bathroom looking for some Tylenol. I finally found some then went to the kitchen to take them. I see Jin cooking and Rap Mon sitting at the table with a pair of sunglasses on. I just wave at them not wanting to speak just yet.

I fixed my tea and sat down at the table laying my head down. “What the hell happened last night?” I finally asked.

“We drank way too much.” Rap Mon said in almost a whisper. “At one point you and Jimin disappeared on the dancefloor. That was the last thing I remember.”

“I don’t even remember that.” I say to them. “The last thing I remember was Tae buying more shots.”

I then hear Tae and Kookie walk in and fall into a couple chairs. “My head is killing me.” Kookie says putting his face in his hands. I place the bottle of Tylenol on the table for him.

He takes a couple then goes back to his face in his hands.

“I’m so glad we are off today.” Tae says slumping back in the chair.

I start trying to think back to last night putting pieces together. “How did we get home?”

“I stopped drinking after a couple shots so I was good to drive.” Jin said sitting down with us.

“Well at least someone was smart enough to do that.” Suga says walking in to join us.

“Suga. Last night was the best and worst idea you have ever had.” I say to him.

“I’m glad you had fun.” He says.

“Too bad I don’t remember about half of it.” I then look up at them all pretty much passing out at the table. “I’m going back to bed.” I say getting up and walking down the hallway. I wasn’t paying attention and ran right into Jimin.

“Sorry you ok?” He asked helping me up.

“Yeah. I’m good.” I say standing. “Do you know what we did last night?” I asked him hoping he could fill in the blanks.

“We started dancing at one point.” He says scratching his head. “When we got home V and I put you to bed.”

“Oh good. So was I with you the whole night?”

“Yeah I think so. I don’t remember you wondering off.”

“Ok. I’m going back to bed.” I say walking into my room.

I stayed in bed the whole day trying to remember what I could when Good Boy popped into my head. I remembered dancing to that. Jimin pulled me in so close to him. I then start to remember his hands on me and enjoying it. I sink more into the bed remembering how he touched me as my hips grinded into his. I didn’t want it to stop.

“That was when the DJ said it was last call.” I say to myself sitting up in bed. “Oh my God.” I said shocked remembering how I got out of my dress. I actually came on to Jimin last night. I put my face in my hands remembering everything embarrassed. Does this mean I like him or was I just too drunk last night? It had to be the drinks right?

I lay back in bed to go to sleep. I was too tired and hungover to argue with myself.
