it is almost midnight and you're at jake's house. he's your brother's best friend, actually, and he threw a party for his two best friends who happened to be born on consecutive days. it is a big party. well, since you knew jake pretty well, you decided to come when he invited you a couple days ago.
you were hesitant at first, but when you asked your brother, jay, and he replied with, "why you suddenly wanna come? do you know what a party really is?" you felt heavily offended. so you shoot your shot and begged jay to let you come with him.
he finally agreed. well, you're 19 after all. your mom doesn't even nag that much again on you. you're aware of your responsibilities and know what your priorities are now. you definitely can go to a party.
"don't go out of my sight." your brother warned when you both arrived. then he opened the door, and you were welcomed with an unfamiliar scene in front of you.
you grabbed your brother's shirt subconsciously and almost regretted your decision right away. maybe, this thing is just not for you?
your eyes swept across every room you passed through, hoping there will be someone you know. half of the people are very familiar to you though you don't know them personally. some are just strangers and you don't have the guts to sit and blend in with them.
"hey, you came!" jake greeted you when you and jay finally found him with the other guys. they all have been your brother's best friend since high school but you only knew jake since he is the friendliest and nicest one. well, his face said so.
you fist-bumped him and sat right next to him and your brother for extra shield. for real, if there's someone you know other than them who offers to leave, you wouldn't think twice.
for the next ten minutes, you didn't move an inch in your seat while watching the guys greet here and there. like sunoo, he kept talking to random people from time to time and received a never ending hello from everyone. turns out your brother was right when he said that he's quite popular. you started to feel like a burden when realizing he is the only one that hasn't moved from his seat.
"you got someone to talk to?" he whispered, a little annoyed.
"you can go if you want."
"don't mind me, jay. just do like you usually do."
he clicks his tongue. "you sure?"
you feel the cushion beneath you move as a weight just plopped onto it. "i'm here, don't worry," a voice interrupted before you could answer.
"really, bro? i really need to find him." your brother slowly got up. you frown, have no idea the 'him' he's referring to.
he pats your head a few times. "i need to go, kid. just stay with heeseung."
you clear your throat when it's finally just you and the stranger–named heeseung.
you pause as you look into his eyes. is it so obvious?
you eventually hissed when he just followed the staring contest. "yeah."
"don't worry. i'm used to guide people at their first party,"
your body turns to him unconsciously. "really?"
"no." you give him the biggest side eye ever. they're no different to your brother, honestly.
he smirks at your face. your shy exterior with an expressive self behind intrigued him to keep the conversation afloat.
"heeseung," a girl greets him. wait, she seems so familiar.
"new girl—oh? are you an archery club new member?" she asks, eyes lit up. oh, right. she's your senior in the club.
"you're with heeseung?" she glances at him. you shook your head with a smile plastered on your mouth. "no. jay's my brother, so..."
she gasps. "come on, let's introduce you to the others." she held your hand and led you to the back yard.
you follow her with a slight panic but then you turn your head, heeseung is there, right behind you with both hands tucked in his pocket. you turn again. feel a wave of relief just washed over you.
the next thing you know, you already talk to a number of people. you occasionally look for heeseung's whereabouts. well, since your brother is nowhere to be found, you need him to stay in your sight or else you might sprint to the front door and ignore people around you. oh, that shouldn't happen because you are only a first-year and you need to make a few connections for the sake of your social life.
him, on the other side, never really pay attention to the convo he's having. he's keeping an eye on you in case something inconvenient happen and you need to get out of the crowd. he knows jay is having a serious matter right now so when he saw you the moment he's arrived, he was so perplexed.
he believed, you didn't know him at all, and he was right. but that doesn't apply vice versa. he knows you. i mean, how could he not know his best friend's sister? impossible. jay is always cautious about his family so he told all of his friends to not come near them. his bad hobby has nothing to do with his family at all, he said. so he feels responsible for you and dedicated to be by your side until jay comes back, at least.
"he won't let it slide, dude. you know him."
heeseung breathed out harshly. "relax, jay can handle it." he replies calmly and turns to you again. you exchange glances this time. your stare doesn't laden for help so he continues to talk with the guy in front of him.
then you hear the birthday boys, sunghoon and riki, just got dragged to the edge of the pool, making the room filled with cheers and shouts everywhere. your ears are ringing from the loud noise, but your laughter breaks when they finally manage to throw hoon and riki to the pool fully clothed.
"after what i just did for you, jungwon? so funny," riki laughs sarcastically then try to reach for jungwon's pants. the people suddenly take riki's side and push jungwon to the pool, making the cat look-alike boy shouts in the water.
you giggle seeing them bicker in the water right before everyone suddenly pushes each other. no, not because they are trying to drench their friends but it turns out to be jay that caused the chaos.
everyone started screaming when the sound of breaking glass was heard. then jay show up and just casually pushes a guy to the back yard with blood dripping from his knuckles. you swear on your parents name, you have never seen this side of him. he always the grumpy yet mature, calm, and collected brother. you've never imagining him throw someone to another so easily. 'jay' and 'fight' had never put in one sentence.
heeseung, from the other corner of the room, rushes to jay who is just a mere step from you and the people you previously talked to. "jay, c'mon,"
"attention, huh? enjoy it, fuckass! c'mon, get up. you haven't say nothing to them," ignoring heeseung in his back, jay kept closing the distance between him and the 'fuckass' guy. he can barely sit up after his head just hit the wall.
your shock stare still lingers on your brother and you can see heeseung keep whispering something to him. you don't know a thing about this. the situation even more tensed up when riki, sunghoon, and jungwon joined them. not giving a shit about their drenched body. jake and sunoo soon arrive out of the blue and stand in front of jay, preventing a possibility of their crazy guy going on a rampage again.
"jay, please, at least not in my house, silly," jake whines.
"hey, listen," jake carefully approaches the other guy who is now successfully standing up. "i don't know what do you want, but can—"
all of a sudden, he throws a vase near him to jake, starting a big chaos to avoid the broken glass.
"fuck you, not my mom's favorite vase!"
you still can't take your eyes off your brother while the crowds keep pushing your stiff body out of their way. you are drowning in your own thoughts realizing you're not completely know your brother. what kind of person is he really? and what matter he's fighting for? who is that guy he's competing with?
your mind was so full of unanswered questions when you felt a firm arm circling your waist from behind and throwing you both into the pool.
"what the f—" you stop when you see heeseung's concerned face and you notice the spot you were standing is now a mess, full of dirt and broken pots that were thrown.
you okay?" heeseung asks, a concern is evident in his tone.
you nod twice. that's all you can do. how can your first party be basically a disaster? made by your own brother?
there are a few people that aren't going away and you assume they are the fuckass' friends. they watch everyone left in the room without doing anything.
you wipe your face before turning back to heeseung. "let me take you home."
"without jay? please, no. i need to see him."
"not right now. he'll be okay."
you glare at him. your eyes become big and teary, threatening in the most soft way possible.
"i guarantee you he'll be fine and you can talk to him tomorrow."
you bite your lower lip as your gaze falls on jay again. "are you sure he is okay?" you ask.
your neck never turns so fast. " what do you mean—"
"let's go." he swims to the pool coping. "your shirt is soaked," he pauses. "it's see-through."
you spontaneously lower your legs so your body is fully under the water and follow him to the edge.
"c'mon. i won't see." he offers his hand and stands so casually while you try to hide your bra underneath the white shirt. you scan the area before you jump out of the pool and find your brother is now gone. you let out a long exhale, they managed to break it up.
"do you wait for my help?"
you hear his voice again. you roll your eyes, "it's not like that!"
you follow heeseung inside with water still dripping from your clothes.
"you can wear this." he drapes a velvet blazer on your shoulder.
"whose blazer is this?" you ask as he searches for his new clothes in a wardrobe that you believe is jake's.
"mine. so make sure not to damage it." he says as he enters the bathroom to change.
you feel the cold air from the AC blowing on your skin, making you shiver and gritting your teeth. but searching for the AC remote is the last thing you want to do. your energy drained as the scene of your brother fighting playing in your head. it didn't make sense at all. your mom probably laughing if you tell her about this because what kind of bullshit are you talking about?
yes, jay is never the nerd, bookworm, or obsessed with study kind of kid. but as far as you know, he wasn't this type of person at all. when things started to turn?
heeseung comes out of the bathroom in the perfect timing, right before you let a tear fall from your eye.
"let's go." he walks past you to the garage, where his motorbike is parked.
"you ride this?" you ask in disbelief.
gosh, you could probably freeze to death.
"it's windy. gonna be so cold, maybe."
you roll your eyes. "i know."
he chuckles inside his full-face helmet. "just hold onto me."
your brow raised, but you're not saying anything while holding on tightly to his leather jacket.
"not my jacket, you'll disturb me driving." he scoffs. "like this," he lifts his jacket until there's enough space for your arms to slip underneath it.
you intertwine your finger right above his stomach. his body heat on your hand makes you feel better, maybe it's also the thick material of his jacket. you continue to rub your palm to his packs that are only covered by a thin fabric of his sleeveless tops.
"okay, let's go home." you say after finding comfort in his body.
he nearly jumped when your cold hands almost electrified him, but he still managed to start the engine and run his bike.
it's just the way your hands just won't stop moving somehow giving a thrill sensation to his body. the way your thumb so recklessly caresses his abs and your right cheek lean on his back with ease, almost causing him to go rabid.
"still cold?" he asks. you nod on his back and tightens your hug.
"but it's fine. your body is warm." you add, not caring if he's listening or not. but the thing is, he heard you and it makes his body automatically melt into your touch. he grunts under his breath for being so weak to his best friend's sisters.
a few minutes later you both finally arrived at your house and there was a slight urge to not let go of his body.
"you definitely need to drive a car rather than this," you pout, complaining about your slightest inconvenience throughout the ride.
"i'd rather take a thank you than that,"
"oh, right. thank you," you sigh. "are you going back there?"
he nods and places his helmet on the gas tank to put his arms on it. "of course."
"b-be..." your words hang in the air. it's either because of your freezing lips or the nervousness that suddenly crashes to you.
he raised his eyebrows. "hmm?"
"be careful, then—and please make sure jay is okay. and get home safely."
your eyes watches as he presses his lips into a thin line. "okay."
oh wait, why is the desire to smooch it suddenly surged up?
