"Are you alright right now, Unnie?" Chae asked as she entered their room, locking it. It's already late in the afternoon and I'm here resting on the bed while reading a novel. I looked up to her direction and saw that she's holding two bags. Chae put it down on the table and take out the food. "I got hungry so I bought food."

I only nodded with a mischievous smile forming on my face. She probably noticed my silence as she turned her attention towards me. "You're pretty silent."

"I'm pretty." I winked and she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, right." She finished setting up the table and sat down. "Now, come on let's eat. The food here is quite delicious." She said as she took a bite of a sandwich and while chewing, she stared at me. She gulped. "Why are you not coming here?"

I grinned at her cute furrowed eyebrows. I'm still sitting on the bed but put down the book beside me. "I want tea. Spill it, Chaeng."

She pouted but beamed so bright eventually. "Well, we walked together, we ate together, we rode some rides together and that's pretty much it."

I frowned, not satisfied with the story. "I let you two have a moment together and that's it?"

Chae sighed exasperatedly. "I don't even know if he loves me still. I want to be together but does he want to? I'm scared."

I watched her pout while looking at her food and jabbing it with chopsticks. I gave her a fond smile. "But do you want to be together?"

Chaeng tilted her head towards me. "Of course! I am definitely sure. I love him and he's the one I want to marry."

"So why's the hesitation?" I asked as I slowly stood up and went toward the table. Once there, I sat down in front of my adorable, lovestruck dongsaeng.

She suddenly sat right up and looked at me. "You know what, Unnie?"

"What? You realize that you need to keep him in chains by wooing him?" I said as I smirked after eating a piece of Takoyaki.

Chaeng glared at me and made a disgusted face. "Wha-no! I'm going to act recklessly once I saw him again but tonight! Let's have fun and stop moping around!"

"I'm not moping, you are." I blinked cutely at her.

She rolled her eyes. "Whatever! I was actually invited to the party later! You know our senior, Kim Taeyon-sunbaenim? From college?" I nodded. "I saw her and invited us to her anniversary of her business tonight!"

"Wow, but we don't have dresses for that kind of party though...?"

"BEFORE I met her, but NOW, we do! I actually declined the invitation, Unnie, with that excuse. What do you think of me? Always agreeing with invites?"

"Yep."

"That's righ—how dare!" She glared at me, crossing her arms. I only laughed at her antics. "Okay, continuing." She's still glaring at me. "She insisted and gave us the dresses!"

"Us? How does she know—"

"I told her of course, Unnie, zuh. Anyway, she said it will be delivered to our room." She grinned while clasping her hands. "This is going to be fun!"

I beamed at her enthusiasm. Yes, it's gonna be fun. Our senior, Kim Taeyeon - sunbaenim is known for her fun parties even though it was strictly business. I might as well get drunk tonight and have fun (but too drunk though. Scary).

The time of party has come. The dresses are fitted to our bodies. Too fit. But it's so elegant. I grew to love it. Chae and I are walking to the event area side by side and I glanced at her dress. She's rocking that purple long dress that accentuated both her figure and her style. It has straight neckline with thin straps that continues on her back, creating a crisscross design and displaying her back. Floral designs flowed from top fading to the bottom of the skirt which falls directly to the floor.

I smiled at her. She's confidently walking with that kinda revealing dress. I like it.

I may be a bookworm and tends to stay inside but I have my fair share of attending parties and these types of gatherings. I can do it confidently.

Who am I kidding? The last time I went to a party was Chaeng's parents' anniversary which was years ago. Ugh, this is so nerve wracking.

I felt a touch in my arms and as I looked up, Chaeng is beaming at me. "Don't worry, Unnie. Relax, and have some fun. I'm here." She locked her right arm with my left arm. Before we moved forward, I saw her eyeing me up and down.

I gave her a weird look. "Are checking me out right now, Park Chaeyoung?"

She grinned wickedly. "I wouldn't mind having you for tonight, baby girl."

I gasped and widened my eyes. "Ew, don't call me that and stop!"

She laughed. "But you're a freaking beauty, Unnie. Be confident. You're Kim Jisoo, you're pretty and okay." She winked and lead me toward the event area.

I rolled my eyes and took a glance at my dress. It was a long halter top dress that fitted my body. It's weird how it really fits but the dress is so beautiful. I can't help but let it slide. It's red in color overall and the top was adorned with sequins. The bottom was designed with a slit that reveals up to my upper part of my thigh. I feel elegantly sexy with it.

It's a gorgeous dress and I decided to own it.

"You look so wonderful tonight, dears. They fit you just so right." Kim Taeyeon - sunbaenim complimented after she gave both of us a squeezing hug. I can feel myself shying away from her. "How come you never work for my entertainment company? Both of you would do well as my models. Loads of money will come too." And now I am starting to feel awkward.

Chaeng giggled and lock her arms with me once again. "Unfortunately, it's not our thing, sunbaenim."

"Oh, goodness's sake, call me unnie! We only drifted for years and you're all so formal with me. I still remember my time as a student council president. Chaeyoung is unmistakably great with her music, thank you for performing when those jerks of a band left me hanging." Chaeyoung laughed. "And Jisoo, our campus crush of all men and women..." Taeyon-unnie winked and I felt my face heated up. "...and also, who is always tucked up in library. I am still indebted to you about those lost books. Or else I'm not going to be here."

I shook my head and smiled. "It's no big deal, Unnie. I'm just glad they were not burned."

"Such pure souls. I hope you get the men you deserved. I wonder..." I do not like where this is going but if Taeyeon unnie is going to target Chae, I would definitely be up for it. "How's Jaehyun, Chae? Got married yet?"

I saw Chaeng's face reddened, making me smirk inside. I can't help but smile and twinkled my eyes toward her. She glanced at me and pinched my arm. That hurts.

"Oh no. We're not even together but I'm working on it." Chaeng with a confident façade answered.

Taeyeon unnie was silent for a moment and gave her a confused look. "What? I believe I heard that you are engaged. If not Jaehyun, to whom?"

"Oh, you mean Taehyung? Uh, no, no. It was just a business proposal and I am not really up for it so..." Chae sheepishly grinned.

Taeyeon unnie nodded. It seemed like she was understanding the situation, but does she? "That's unfortunate. Well, I hope you'll find your right man but base on your expression." She smirked. "It's Jaehyun, isn't it?"

I giggled at that but stopped to compose myself. I look at Chaeng with knowing look. 'I'm not the only one noticing, bleh.'

While Chaeyoung is busy blushing, Taeyeon Unnie turned to me. "How's Yuta, Jisoo?"

I was taken aback at her question. What does Yuta got to do with our conversation? "Uhm, I... I don't follow? He's fine, I guess...?"

Once again, Teayeon unnie has that bewildered look. Now, it got me thinking if there was something wrong with my answer.

"Oh my. He didn't... Ugh, that child." She mumbled but turned toward me again, smiling her sweet smile. "Anyways, got a boyfriend?"

Now, it's my turn to blush. I can feel Chae smirking beside me. "Uh, yes. We actually got together after graduating college so you may not hear about him. His name is Jeon Jungkook."

"Oh my." She smiled at me. However, it gives me chills. "Oh my indeed. Anyway." She got close to us and hold Chae's and my free hands. "I must go now. I took a lot of your fun time."

"No way, it's a pleasure talking to you!" I disagreed. She nodded and gave Chae a hug.

When it's time to hug me, she whispered something that made me confused. "Remember, keeping you in line is different from true love, my sweetheart." After that, she winked at me and walked away.

I was about to ask Chae what she meant about that but my train of thoughts was cut off.

A series of explosive sounds immediately interrupted the party. I clasped onto Chae and checked our surroundings. Is that...

And my hunch was confirmed by a scream.

"EVERYONE GET DOWN!"
