ask a question about the story here!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were really never a party type of person. Why party when you can stay at home reading a nice book? That was your go-to pastime anyways. You wouldn’t call yourself a shut-in, but you weren’t outside a lot, no.

Your best friend, Jin? He was the complete opposite, to say the least. For one, he was extremely good-looking. So he got invited to a lot of parties. And yeah, sometimes he made you go with him. But the moment you seemed uncomfortable, he took you home. You were honestly really grateful to have a friend like him who understood you.

This time was a bit different. Jin had begged you to go with him, because he was graduating this year, and he wanted to have one last turn as the so called “life of the party.” You went, even though you didn’t want to. Jin shouldn’t have to suffer because of your natural awkwardness.

So here you were, surrounded by wasted college students, and you were probably the only sober one. Jin had run off a while ago, most likely to do karaoke with Jungkook and Hoseok. Not to mention it was a really big party.

As in you were in someone’s mansion. This party was big. Heck, even Namjoon and Yoongi were here. Not that they didn’t get invited to things, no. They were certainly handsome. They were just a little introverted, kind of like you.

But seeing all your drunk classmates, having the time of their lives, made you wonder. Like previously stated, you weren’t exactly the best at the whole partying thing. But you had come all the way here, and Jin had told you to live a little more.

In fact, he was almost worried about you, because you had no other close friends besides him and the guys. Jin, Hoseok, Yoongi and Namjoon were all graduating. And Jungkook and Taehyung? You weren’t as close with them as you were with Jin. Not that you weren’t close, but that wasn’t Jin’s point, either.

He just didn’t want you to be alone. He even went as far as suggesting you get a boyfriend. And that’s just something you’ve never really done, to be honest. You’ve always had crushes on characters in books, and you were kind of...intimidated...by boys other than Jin.

But here you were. Alone at a party. And not drunk. After a couple hours of wandering, you guessed that this was Tae’s mansion. He was kind of rich. Well, not kind of. He was loaded, to put it plainly. Anyway, you decided you would give it the old college try, (while laughing to yourself about your own joke) and go to the bar and get a drink.

Yes. Taehyung’s mansion had its own bar. Jin had shown it to you before he went off...where, again? You don’t really know where he went, but you suppose you should probably look for him, as you two are going home in his car. Right now, however, you’re walking to Tae’s in-house bar.

You pull out your phone and quickly google ‘Drinks to order at a party’. Okay, maybe your knowledge in the variety of drinks usually available at parties is small, but how were you supposed to know what to drink? You’ve been to like three parties over the course of 2 years, and they were all serving punch.

You can vaguely see the barista mixing some drinks on the counter. You weren’t really paying attention, just sitting down looking at your phone. “Hmmm...” you said to yourself. Maybe just something simple, like a martini?

This would’ve been easier if Jin was here. He’d just give you a suggestion, and because you couldn’t think of any other option, you’d just go with it. You tried to think back to that one day Taehyung had been talking about bars.

You didn’t really pay attention, but you think he said something about his friend being a barista? Makes sense that he’d hire him for a party. Anyway, you look back down at your phone.

Maybe you should text Jin. Just to ask, what you should order. But then you look over your shoulder at the dance floor behind you. He’s dancing over by the indoor pool. You don’t want to bother him at what might be his last party as a student here.

Suck it up, Y/N. You take a deep breath. Honestly, you don’t know why you’re making such a big deal about ordering a drink. Just pick something and go with it. But it wouldn’t hurt to look at Google some more...

So it’s now an hour later, and you still haven’t ordered anything. Curse your social anxiety! You see the boys (as in Jin, Jungkook, and Hoseok) passed out on a couch. It is getting late...maybe you should just go home. You already know you’ll be the one driving.

But it wouldn’t hurt to have one drink, right? All your procrastination has made you quite thirsty, which is a bit ironic. There isn’t really anybody at the bar now. The barista is at the back, cleaning some cups. You look down at your phone one more time. Just one more quick look-

“Can I help you with anything, darling?” Your head snaps up, and the barista is in front of you. And dear god. You almost drop your phone. This boy in front of you...is absolutely gorgeous.

His skin was perfect, and it looked so soft. His hair was tousled perfectly, and his dark eyes stared into your soul. Haha, what? He smiled at you, and you almost died, because he was just sO pREttY!

“Oh, um, I was, uh...still thinking about my order?” You wince internally. Not the best sentence starter. But it’s not your fault! It’s just that you are trying to impress this hot barista so he will possibly, just maybe, bear your children??

Oh my god, Y/N do not phrase it like that! “You’ve been thinking for an awful long time now. One would think...you’re doing something else?” For god’s sake, even his voice is attractive. It’s sweet, and kind of high pitched, yet not?? Like it’s pretty, but also seductive with a capital S, and you’re really losing your mind over how beautiful this boy is.

“No, I wasn’t really...I just can’t think of what to order.” He’s going to think you’re lame. I mean, if he’s a barista, then the topics of drinks would be like, important to him, right? Right. Just keep talking to yourself and everything will be okay and-! Your own thoughts cut off as he leaned over the counter. He leaned towards you and you almost screamed your head off.

And then he turned to your phone, which was displaying a picture of different drinks. “If you’re googling what to order, I’m guessing you don’t drink a lot?” You smile, but inside you just want the world to swallow you whole.

“Haha, you could say that? I mean I go to parties, it’s just they don’t usually have...” “A fully stocked bar? Yeah. Taehyung likes to go all out for his parties.”

Okay, this is good, this is casual conversation, come on Y/N, don’t mess this up. He leans back and crosses his arms, and sweet Jesus, he has muscles.

You’re sure everyone can hear your heartbeat going a million miles an hour, and you’re surprised no one has been able to tell you’re practically drooling over this man.

“Anyway,” he goes on, “I’m Park Jimin. I work as a bartender part-time, and I’m a third-year here.” Hey! You’re a third year too! And you’re really hyperventilating in your own head right now! “Oh, well I’m Y/N Y/L/N, also third-year, and....I like to read.”

“A reader, huh? That’s cool. So, what did you want to drink, Miss Y/N?” He flexes his fingers. And somehow you find that hot too. “Uh...I’ll just take a margarita.” He grins. “Alright. Anything specific?” Your blank face must be obvious, because he laughs. “Then one normal margarita coming right up.”

He walks to the other side of the bar and begins to make your drink. So now you have a few minutes to scream. And that’s when Jin pops right up next to you and decides to say, “HeY! Y/N!”

You yelp out of surprise. “Jin! Uh....I thought you were out cold??” He grins, except it’s a drunken grin. Because he’s extremely drunk right now. “oH! I was! But nOW I’m nOT!”

“Yeah, maybe you should go lay down for a few more minutes. I’m just going to have a drink and then we’ll leave, okay?” He frowns. “You?? Getting a dRinK?” You scowl. “Hey, I’m not that much of an introvert!” His eyes scan the room. “No...there’s got to be an uLteriOR motiVE here..ah!” Jin smiles again. “You like JiminNN!”

“What?! nO!” It seems he knows you better than you thought. “...maybe...” He laughs. “I knew it! You never do anything impulsive unless there’s a boy involved!” Ouch. But he’s right. You don’t really know why Jimin is any different from all the boys you already hang out with.

You’re talking with Jin about Jimin. And you’re so enthusiastic, that you don’t notice Jimin is taking...a while with your margarita.

Jimin really thought he was just going to be a bartender for another one of Taehyung’s parties. Pretty normal, and Tae pays him quite a bit. A pretty decent amount, so that’s what he does. He serves some drinks, cleans some counters, and that’s about it.

But this time, a girl he’d never seen before sat down. You. And all while he was serving drinks that night, he kept staring at you. You were...how to put it...well, pretty cute, in his opinion.

He tried to calm himself down. A girl who looked like that probably had a boyfriend or girlfriend. But he couldn’t keep himself from staring. You were just sitting there on your phone. He eventually told himself to stop acting like a creep and went back to serving drinks.

And another hour passed. He was cleaning up when he noticed you were still sitting there, on your phone. Hey! She’s still here! He thought you looked pretty with your hair all fancy and your aqua mini dress. He had seen you around campus a couple times, but he never really looked at you until tonight.

And he usually wasn’t one to fall victim to a pretty face, but just talking to you made him feel like you were more than that. You liked reading. You were kind of awkward. And that was all he knew about you.

But he had a huge crush on you. Why? Well hE didn’t kNOw! And that was the weird part! He wasn’t oblivious to these kinds of things. That was one huge difference between you two. If some magical being descended from the sky and told you that you had a crush on Park Jimin, you would suddenly have selective hearing.

So eventually, he manages to make you what he’s sure is the best margarita in the world. (Only the best for Miss Y/N!) And he manages to carry it to you without it slipping out of his hands. And he notices someone sitting next to you.

You’re talking excitedly, and you giggle at something the guy says. Jimin places your drink in front of you and you almost don’t notice. Who is this guy? And why is he so close to you?

Oh, crap, is this your boyfriend? Has he gotten hung up on a taken girl? “Jin! Stop it!” he hears you say with a laugh. The guy, Jin, is obviously drunk. “Honestly, I have no idea why I’m friends with you when you will boldy iNSULT my outfit!”

They’re friends. He sighs in relief, although he doesn’t know why. He walks over to where you’re sitting and leans on the counter again. “How’s that margarita?” he asks.

Your face is practically a tomato when Jimin comes back over to ask you how your drink is. “Oh, it’s um...good! It’s really good, actually!” You should have drinks more often, if all the baristas are this hot. Wait, whAt?

*****************************************************************************************************

Alright, so remember how you said just one more drink and you would leave? Well, that did certainly nOT happen. You are on your eiGHTh margarita. And you are showing no signs of slowing down.

Even Jin is sober now, and he’s worried/terrified. He’s never known you to be a drinking person. sO wHAT the hell actually hAPPENED heRE? You are extremely drunk right now. And you’re practically slumped over your chair, fLiRtiNG wiTH JiMiN!!

Well, you wouldn’t call it flirting. More like you telling him in a drunken voice that he’s very pretty. “okAY duDE, liKE, you are sERIOUSLY the hoTTEST guY i’VE ever SeeN.”

Jimin is trying not to explode. Because here you are, outwardly calling him hot. Not to mention because of your drunken state, your hair is a bit disheveled. Which he thinks is kind of hot. Which is nOT HeLPING!

Plus, Jin now has a master plan. To get you and Jimin together over the course of one party. >:))

He fakes a yawn as he walks over to Jimin. “Hey, man, I have a huge essay I’ve gotta finish.” And Jimin is like....oKay? “Anyways, thanks for agreeing to take Y/N home.” He tosses Jimin the keys to your apartment and he catches them.

WAIT WAIT WAIT- and Jin is gone. He- HE JUST- and then Jimin starts to panic. What will she think if she wakes up in my car? She’ll think I’m some sort of pervert, or a kidnapper!

At this point you fall asleep on your chair. And you are snoring. So you’re overall making a great impression! You yawn and let out a sleepy whimper as you shuffle in your chair.

You really should’ve brought a pillow or something, because sleeping in a counter is pretty uncomfortable. Jimin thinks you’re incredibly cute, but he kind of has to wake you up to take you home.

“Y/N...” you roll over. “Five more minutes, Jin..” “Y/N...” Wait. That’s not Jin. You immediately face the source of the voice and find Jimin the hot barista looking into your eyes.

“Ah! Uh...JiMin!! What a nice surprise!!” You are glad to see him...you just don’t know how you got into his car. Or how he has the keys to your apartment.

“Oh, yeah, Jin forced me to take you home, so here’s your keys.” He plops your keys back in your hand. Your hands almost touch, which makes you blush a bit.

The truth is he had to carry you to his car. And he thinks you’re really pretty. And he kind of wants to ask you for your number.

“Uh...Y/N?” You look back at him. “Yes, Jimin?” It’s now or never. He either gets your number or dies of embarrassment. “Do you think I could have your number?”

Not gonna lie, you were kinda surprised by his question. You’re totally going to give him your number though. He’s really hot. You fumble for your phone in your pocket and awkwardly read out your number for him.

“So, um...I guess I’ll see you around campus?” You smile and tuck a piece of hair behind your ear. A cliche tactic, but you’re trying your best here, okay?

“Yeah! I’ll see you around campus!” You practically giggle into your pillow that night.

You are, to stay the least, extremely happy.
