K-pop Idol Imagines - Chapter 2: Chapter 2

"You're coming with me and that's it!" Nayeon argued with me.
I and Nayeon are sitting in the cafe as we talk about the coming party for idols. Nayeon, being my best friend since high school, is convincing me to come with her to attend the party. She can be really stubborn if she wants to and when she wants something she'll not stand back. That's something that I have always loved about her. Yeah, I like her. A lot. More than friends should kind of like. But, she doesn't know that. Because I can't risk my friendship for my selfishness.
"Y/N? Did you understand?" Nayeon asked as she took a sip of her coke while staring at me. I heaved a deep sigh as I thought, "Why does she have to bring me?"
"Nayeon... you know, I can't. I don't even attend my company events unless they are VERY important. And it's for idols, why do you want me to come with you?" I said looking at her with pleading eyes.
I am never a party person or a social butterfly. I love my personal space and my home only. But, Nayeon is clearly the opposite of me and she likes to live her life to the fullest. She is also named as 'Nation's best friend' or something like that for her mingling with every idol and fans very cheerfully. One more point to admire her.
I, on the other hand, do not have many friends like her. I am an introvert, what do you expect from me?
In fact, she is my only friend from our high school, others have just left me or we have lost our contact. But, Nayeon didn't. When she left to become an idol at sixteen, she always found her way to contact me. Whether it's through a borrowed stranger's phone or whether we plan to meet every weekend here in this same cafe. She never left me through my difficult times and I as well didn't. It took me a few years to realize that I love her more than anything.
She leaned forward in her seat as she held my hands between hers. She looked dead straight in my eyes as I gulped in fear. "Uh-oh..." I thought to myself. Whenever Nayeon looks me in the eyes, I could never deny her. That's something of my weakness which she has deciphered in the years and dare I say, she knows how to use this against me.
"N-Nayeon, no--" "Y/N-ah, pwease..." she said while pouting and giving those beautiful puppy eyes of hers. I mentally cursed myself as I closed my eyes and shook my head in disbelief. "Okay... as you say, Nayeon..." I told her.
She immediately let go of my hand as she squealed in excitement and clapped her hands. I laughed at her cuteness as she then gasped suddenly. "What happened?" I asked. She looked at me as I saw her eyes twinkling, "Y/N... we should coordinate our dresses if we are going to the party together." "What? Aren't you coordinating with your group?" I asked. She nodded her head, "Yeah, I am. And now, you will too."
I nodded my head, "Sure. What are you guys wearing?" She looked at me smiling and a hint of mischievousness in her eyes. "What?" I asked in confusion. "We are going to wear all black. That's the theme for the party. And..." Nayeon dragged the 'and' a little longer, "...we have to wear dresses."
My eyes widened in shock, "Dress? Nayeon, are you crazy? I haven't worn a dress in my life! I am happy with my formal wear. Please, I can't do that." It's true. I don't like wearing dresses. Sure, I don't hate them but something about them makes me a little uncomfortable and I don't like being uncomfortable. Nayeon loves wearing dresses. Who am I lying to? She likes to wear everything and it looks good on her. Not me.
"Cookie, please..." Nayeon again did a little aegyo. And she calls me 'cookie' if she badly wants something from me. This rarely happens and this is one of those moments. I threw my hands in the air in frustration, "Nayeon, please... don't--" But then she suddenly leaned forward stopping only inches away from my face. My eyes widened as I gasped audibly. She slowly lifted her hand towards my face and then flicked my forehead. "Ow! What the hell, Nayeon?!" I groaned in pain and rubbed my forehead.
I heard her laughing melodiously still inches away from my face as I slowly traced my eyes on her face. Her beautiful eyes with a shade of soft brown, her long nose, and her sweet plump lips which let me tell you are looking very tempting at the moment. I stared at her lips a little longer as they suddenly moved to indicate that she was speaking, "You're wearing a dress and it's final." I gulped as I was still looking at her lips but then she put her forefinger under my chin to meet her eye level. I blushed as my heart was already hammering out of my chest due to proximity. Her eyes were boring holes in my soul as I tried to speak, "O-Okay... I-I will."
She then moved a little more closely as my breath hitched in my throat and then she whispered, "Good. Because I wouldn't have taken no for an answer..." My breathing was shallow now as Nayeon traced her finger from my chin to lips and carefully tapped on them. Slowly a smirk formed on her lips as she pulled apart and stood up.
I clamped my hand on my chest trying to control my plummeting heart. I slowly inhaled and exhaled in long breaths as I saw Nayeon stretching a bit. "I'm gonna go to my dorm to get ready for the party. I'll text you the address. Okay?" she said. I nodded as I carefully stood up and picked up my things. She came forward as she wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me tightly. I smiled as I wrapped my arms around her waist squeezing her in the process. She squirmed as she giggled in my ears, "Y/N! Let go!"
I laughed as I let go of her and then I walked her out to her van which was waiting for her. She sat inside her van and rolled down the window, "Okay, Y/N. See you later!" And then she gave me a little wave as the van went away. I sighed as I rested my hand on my waist, "The things we do in love..."
[TIMESKIP]
It's exactly 8:30 in the evening and I am driving my car to the venue that Nayeon addressed me. I wore a simple black dress which has a formal touch to it.
That's the most I can do with my wardrobe collection. And if Nayeon argues, I'm gonna throw some hands. Not literally but in frustration and in my mind only. So, after debating with myself to go and attend the party for Nayeon's sake because I promised her but something in my mind told me to let her be after the little torturing session she gave me in the cafe. But, then again, I love her.
Here I am, parking my car in the lot as I showed my invitation card to the guards and let me enter the venue hall. "Whoa..." I said as I entered the hall. It was grand. With a golden chandelier hanging in the middle, the hall had a golden interior with the decorations of various flowers here and there. On the right side, there was a bar with some expensive alcohol that I could see, and in the center beneath the chandelier was a small podium which I guess was for the host to talk. The rest of the space was filled with small round tables with approximately six chairs on each.
The hall was already filled with many people and I was already sweating. As I walked forward slowly I could recognize many of them like Red Velvet, BTS, JYP himself, Got7, (G)-Idle, Oh my girl, Seventeen, and I'll be damned even BLACKPINK was there. As I moved forward I saw IU, some members of SNSD, this is epic and I saw Sunmi too. "Damn... this is really something else," I thought to myself as I craned my neck to look for TWICE members.
Suddenly, I felt a pair of arms wrapped around my waist from behind and I froze immediately. "You're here!" I heard Nayeon saying as I relaxed a bit. I laughed slowly as I turned around to see Nayeon. My eyes widened as I took her in. She was wearing this short black dress with one full-sleeved shirt. Her hair was giving a wavy touch as her pearl earrings beautifully complimented her face. She was looking simply stunning. One more point to admire her.
I looked at her to see her cheeks redden as her mouth hung open. "Hey, Nayeon. What happened?" I asked her as I put one of my hands on her shoulder.
She shook her head as she breathed in and finally looked at me, "Y/N... you look beautiful." I blushed as I smiled sheepishly at her comment and then I took her hand in mine, "But not as beautiful as you."
Her eyes widened at my compliment and then her expression changed into a smile, "Of course! I am beautiful!" I laughed as she boasted herself and then she intertwined her hand with mine as she dragged me along, "Let's go and meet others!"
First, we met her members, of course. I hugged each of them as I complimented them, "You guys look so stunning!" They smiled at me as their eyes turned to look at Nayeon who was staring at me.
"What?" I asked Nayeon and I heard others whispering something. "What...?" I said to myself.
Jihyo cleared her throat, "Well, Y/N you look beautiful too. Happy to see you here!" "Yes. Well, I think this party is not that bad at all. At least for now," I mocked as others laughed.
Then, Nayeon led me to meet her idol group of friends. We stood in front of Red Velvet as I clutched her hand tightly. Meeting new people and these celebrities always gives me anxiety.
Nayeon clung onto my arm as she said, "It's okay. I am with you." I relaxed a little as we narrowed our way to RV.
"Hey, guys!!" Nayeon cheerfully greeted them as she hugged them. "Hey, Nayeon! How are you?" Seulgi asked. "I'm fine! Meet my long-time best friend, Y/N!" she introduced me as I awkwardly smiled and bowed. "H-Hello. I am Y/N. It's nice to meet you all," I timidly said. Yeri came forward as she pulled me in a warm hug, "It's nice to finally meet you! Nayeon Unnie always talks about you!"
I pulled apart as I raised my eyebrow at Yeri, "She talks about me?" Yeri nods vigorously, "Yeah. Like SO much!" She gestured from her hands. I giggled as I looked at Nayeon who was busy talking to Irene and Seulgi.
"I've always been a fan of your group. It's insane that I am seeing you in real life!" I said, excitedly. Wendy chuckled as she patted my shoulder, "It's always nice to meet a fan. Thank you for supporting us." I nodded as I inched closer to Nayeon and looked at Irene and Seulgi.
Seulgi noticed me as she gave me her cute smile, "Hey, Y/N. It's nice to meet you!" She enveloped me in a hug as I returned it.
We pulled away as Irene stared at me with grace. I blushed under her gaze. She's damn gorgeous and my favorite, "I-I am a big fan of yours." Irene chuckled as she came forward and said, "That's sweet of you. Happy to meet you." I struck out my hand for a handshake and instead, she hugged me tightly.
I squealed internally as I pulled apart, I looked at Nayeon who was smiling at me. I grabbed her hand as I whispered excitedly in her ear, "Irene hugged me! Pinch me!! I must be dreaming!" Nayeon squeezed my hand and pinched my arm from another hand. "Ouch!" I whined as I rubbed my arm. Nayeon chuckled as she waved goodbye to them and dragged me to others.
By now, I was hyped as we came to meet BLACKPINK. Nayeon's best friends are there too. She hugged each of them as she introduced me again.
"BLACKPINK in your area!" I exclaimed as I clapped my hands in excitement.
The girls laughed at this as Jennie said, "So, you're a BLINK?" I nodded, "Who isn't?" They laughed again as we talked with them for a few minutes.
"Nayeon has talked so much about you," Jisoo said in my ear. I turned to look at her as I said, "She talked about me to you too?" This time Jisoo raised her eyebrows in question. "Yeri also said that. What's with her talking about me behind my back?" I laughed as I looked at her, who was laughing with Jennie, Lisa, and Rose. Jisoo sighed as she patted my back, "You'll see..."
After a few more moments of roaming here and there and talking with idols, I was enjoying the night. It didn't feel awkward anymore. I and Nayeon were sticking together even though I told her to go enjoy with her members but she said, "No! I enjoy myself with them every day. Tonight I want to enjoy myself with you!" My heart fluttered at this but I didn't let her know that.
I abruptly stopped causing Nayeon to bump onto my back as she said, "Yah! Why did you stop?" I chuckled as I pulled her forward and said, "Well, let's meet someone special."
She tilted her head in confusion as she said, "What do you mean? Who is someone special?" Is it just me or did I hear a hint of jealousy in her voice? Maybe I am delusional.
I smiled at her as I jerked my head pointing towards someone on my right. She followed my gaze as her eyes widened and her hand flew on her mouth covering it.
"Let's meet her!" I said as I started dragging her. She shook her head, "N-No! Y/N! Please--" "Nope! We are going to meet her and that's final!" I interrupted her as I dragged her.
Still trying to pull apart so badly, I dragged Nayeon to one of HER favorite idols, IU. Yes, the one and only Lee Ji-Eun. It's so weird that she, being an idol, is so shy to meet her favorite idol. God knows for how long she has been a fan of hers and this is my opportunity to let them have a clear one-on-one talk. I saw IU talking to some ITZY members so it was a plus.
I carefully approached her from behind and tapped on her shoulder. She immediately turned around to see me and Nayeon hiding behind me. "Yes? May I help you?" IU asked in her sweet voice while smiling. I beamed at her as I said, "Yes, IU-shii! I am a big fan of yours but someone here is the biggest fan of yours. And successful too." She chuckled while raising her eyebrows, "Oh? Who is this biggest fan of mine? Do I know her?"
I nodded as I grabbed Nayeon's hand and pulled her ahead, "Meet Ms. Im Nayeon, your biggest fan!" I saw Nayeon looking down on the floor as her cheeks flush red and she clutched my hand a little more tightly. I gave IU a toothy grin as I said, "Here, she wants to say something to you!"
Nayeon immediately looked at me wide-eyed. I mouthed her a 'sorry' as I gently pushed her forward to talk to IU. I laughed as she wiped her hands on her dress and awkwardly smiled at IU, "H-Hello, IU-shii. It's nice to meet you..." IU smiled as she patted her shoulder, "It's nice to meet you too, Nayeon-shii!"
I quietly left them to have some fan and idol talk and approached the bar. I have been wanting to have a drink but because of Nayeon, I couldn't.
"One whiskey on rocks please," I told the bartender as he nodded and said, "Coming right up, Miss."
I sighed in relief as I saw Nayeon and IU finally having a normal conversation as I heard someone clear their throat from behind. I turned around to see BTS Taehyung smiling at me, "I haven't seen a girl ordering whiskey on rocks."
I was a little surprised for a bit as I eventually found my ground and said, "Well... you haven't met me yet then." I clapped my hand on my mouth as I just realized what I just said.
"Did I just flirt with him?" I thought to myself. He chuckled with his deep voice as he nodded, "I'm sure I haven't. It's nice to see someone having the same taste." I nodded as I cleared my throat in embarrassment. Thankfully, my drink arrived as I saw Taehyung also ordered the same.
He stepped a little closer as he lifted his glass towards me, "Cheers?" I smiled as I carefully clinked my glass against his, "Cheers."
After a minute or so, I was feeling the effect of alcohol as I let myself loose a little and struck a conversation with Taehyung, "So... how is it to be an idol?" He chuckled as he took a sip of his drink, "It's... hard, I guess? But, I decided to choose this for myself and I am happy with the results too. Our fans have supported us so much that it drives me more to work hard." I nodded while drinking.
"What about you? I mean, I haven't seen you anywhere," he asked. "I am here with Nayeon from TWICE, you know?" I said. He nodded, "Yeah, I know her." "Mhmm. I am her best friend from high school and she brought me here with her. And let me tell you, parties aren't my scene," I said as I giggled. "Well, mine neither," he responded as we both laughed at this.
We both talked and laughed together for a few more minutes. It was nice with him. He was actually a warm and hilarious person from what I've seen on TV. "Hey, Taehyung. It was really nice-- HEY!"
Suddenly, someone grabbed my wrist and dragged me away from him as my glass slipped and shattered on the ground. I flinched a little as I saw Taehyung looking blankly at me. I was furious by then as I looked ahead to see it was Nayeon who was dragging me.
"Nayeon! What is this?" I tried to speak with her but she just dragged me. Her grip on my wrist was getting tighter as I tried to pull myself, "Nayeon! Stop! What are you--"
She took me to the washroom and I finally yanked myself away, "Nayeon! What the hell?!" I rubbed my wrist which was kind of red from her grip. I looked at her to see that she was furious. But, about what?
"Nayeon... What is this? Why did you drag me here?" I asked her calmly. But she just ran her hand in her hair in frustration as she mumbled under her breath, "Ah! Damn it!" My expressions were turned into confusion as I tried to think of the possible things that made her angry.
"Did someone say something?" I asked. She just looked at me. "Did I say something? What the hell happened--"
And the next thing I know, Nayeon rushed forward as she grabbed my nape and smashed her lips on mine. It took me a whole minute to decipher what just happened as she pushed me against one of the bathroom stall doors. She kissed me harshly as I just felt my breath hitching in my throat. I can smell alcohol in her breath as I forcefully pushed her from me.
"Nayeon, what happened--" "Shut up and kiss me."
She carefully again attached our lips as she slowly kissed me this time. Her lips sensually moved against mine as I felt myself surrendering to her every movement. And then I kissed her back as I felt her smiling against my lips. I wrapped my arms around her waist as I pulled her closer and she hummed in between the kisses. This was a dream come true. I thought about this and replayed this moment multiple times in my head but a washroom was surely not one of them.
She tilted her head as she kissed me deeper this time and raked her fingers through my hair. I sighed in the feeling as I squeezed her waist and then I carefully nipped on her lower lip. She moaned loudly as I slid my tongue in her mouth exploring. She wrapped her arms around my neck as she kissed me with the same passion. After a few moments, we pulled apart when the air became an issue.
She breathed heavily as she rested her forehead against mine and her eyes closed. We stayed like this for a moment as I finally pulled apart and stared at her. She was still looking gorgeous with all disheveled hair and her lips swollen from the kissing. I laughed at her as she just blushed in embarrassment.
"Care to explain your actions, Nayeon?" I asked. She looked down on the floor as she fidgeted with her fingers. She took a deep breath as she said, "I... I was jealous when I saw you laughing and talking with him."
"Who? Taehyung?" I asked. She nodded, "I-I don't know what happened but I was feeling angry to see you laughing with someone else. Trying to avoid this feeling, I drank two glasses of wine, and when I saw you again with him..." "You couldn't stop yourself?" I teased her.
She hit my arm, "Y-Yah! It's not like that!" I crossed my arms, "Uh-huh? Then why did you kiss me?"
This time her face turned scarlet red as she looked like a cute tomato. "I-I... t-that..." she stuttered as she heaved a deep sigh and closed her eyes. She rubbed her palm against her face as she turned to look at me.
"There's no point of hiding this anymore. Isn't it?" she said. I nodded while biting my lip to suppress my smile. I waited too long for this moment that I am feeling overwhelmed. I never imagined that Nayeon would return my feelings anymore. But, here we are as Nayeon doesn't know my side of feeling and is struggling to tell hers.
"I... I love you, Y/N. I have been for a while now. You are hard to resist, you know that right? And how can I not fall for you? You always have been my support system and probably will be... my everything...," she said as she looked into my eyes.
My heart skipped a beat as my hands hung loosely on my side and I could feel my happy tears coming out. She noticed me crying as she cupped my face in her hands, "H-Hey, it's okay. You don't have to return them. I am--"
"I love you too. I love you so very much, Nayeon. I have loved you for so long that you don't even know. I loved you more as every day passed. I love you more than anything, Nayeon..." I said as I finally confessed my feelings to her. Her eyes widened at my confession as I whispered, "I love you so much..."
