Just A Number

3 weeks have passed since Jungkook and I started dating, and I’m pretty used to only seeing him once a week, twice if I’m lucky since he’s still busy rehearsing for his concert here in Seoul. I’ve been keeping myself busy with work since Fashion week is going on. “Yuna want to go to karaoke with us later?” Juwon one of the hair stylists asked, “I think I’ll pass,” “Come on you haven’t been out with us in so long!” “Yeah because every time I go out with you guys something crazy happens!” “Oh like what?” he sassed, “That time we all went bar hopping and almost got into 3 fights, or the time we lost Yunseo and it took the whole night to find her passed out in the club bathroom or the time yo—“ “okay okay, yes but these are the nights to remember!” he laughs, “come on, cute guys from the modeling agency is coming out with us,” he dramatically fans himself, I rolled my eyes, “Okay I’ll think about it,” “yay! You might even hook up with one if you’re lucky,” he winked at me, I rolled my eyes again. No one knows Jungkook and I are dating, well only Minyong, it’s a big secret. If it ever got out who knows what might happen, being stalked by the media for the rest of my life, being frowned upon on dating a much younger guy than me, losing my job or worse, Jungkook losing fans and won’t be on top anymore. I sigh with the thought, he and I need to be careful out.


All the stylists and makeup artist were finally free for the night, I decided to tag along with them to karaoke for a bit. Everyone was having a good time and models actually came to hang out. They were all really attractive, the guys too, made me a bit self-conscious. I was quietly sitting on the couch observing people, watching them drink, sing and acting a fool. “Hey,” a voice said next to me, I couldn’t see his face clear since most of the lights were off. “Everyone here is crazy,” he laughed, “oh yeah it’s always like this.”

One of the tipsy girls turned on the lights laughing at everyone as they all groaned. The guy who was talking to me was very, very attractive. “Hi, I’m Seokjin.” He slightly smiled, “I model for the agency.” “Oh…hi! I’m Yuna one of the makeup artist, you, kind of seem familiar!” I said observing his beautiful face, he laughed, “Yeah, I was Mr. Worldwide for a contest and was on the cover of Fashion Zine.”Oh my god! That’s right he was named one of the most handsome guys in Korea! “What are you doing here? Hanging with these party animals?!” I nervously laughed, “Well these guys wanted a night out and we heard the stylist was going out to karaoke so we figured we’d tag along, well I was forced too, I’m not really a party animal.” He laughs, “oh yeah same here as well.” I sipped my beer.

‘Oops I Did It Again’ came on the karaoke and everyone went crazy, “Everyone on your feet!!” Juwon yelled into the mic, “We’re gonna get this party started!” everyone cheered and started dancing even the models, Seokjin and I stayed were we were laughing at our friends dancing a hot mess, “OOPS I DID IT AGAIN I PLAY WITH YOUR HEART GOT LOST IN THE GAME…C’MON YUNA BABY GET YOUR ASS UP AND DANCE!” Juwon called out, I froze on my seat my face red, I can’t dance and I sure as hell won’t be dancing in front of everyone! Seokjin nudged me, “Wanna just dance just to shut them up,” he held out his hand, I nervously smiled, “I guess…I mean I know he won’t stop bothering me if I don’t” I grabbed his hand and we both ‘attempted’ to dance with everyone else, “I’m no dancer just warning you!” he shouted through the music, “HA, me either!” I laughed as we danced horribly with everyone, it’s bad enough we were both sober dancing this bad while everyone is hammered.

I was actually enjoying myself until I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket, I gasped as I saw it was Jungkook calling me. I quickly ran out of the loud karaoke room and into the hallway to answer, “Jungkook-ah,” I said out of breath, “Hey Jagiya” my heart fluttered at the sound of his deep voice through the phone, “I was just calling to see what you were up to, I miss you,” “I miss you too, um, just hanging out with some friends nothing special,” I smiled, “Oh okay, cool, I just got done rehearsing just resting, thinking about you, as always.” Seriously can this guy be anymore cuter? “Ah, I’m always thinking about you to--,” “Yuna are you okay out here just checking to make sure,” Seokjin came out of the room towards me, “W-who’s that?” I hear Jungkook say, his voice suddenly stern, “Oh I’m fine I’ll be back in in a few,” I said quickly to Seokjin, he nods and head back in the room, “Yuna?” “Ah yes Jungkook that was a friend I met here, we’re all here at Karaoke,” I laugh nervously, he was quiet for a minute until I heard him sigh, “Okay I’ll talk to you later, I’m kind of tired,” he didn’t sound very happy, did I make him upset? “Oh, okay then, goodnight Jungkook,” I say with a faint smile, “Yeah, goodnight.” My line went dead.
