Work Text:
“Yah! We should go to a club this weekend” Bit-na pipped up gaining curious looks from everyone sitting around their usual lunch table.
“Come on guys! We have been working so hard for the last couple of weeks and we always go to bars. This would be a nice change. Drinks, music, dancing…” She smirked into Sehun’s direction “You might even find yourself a nice girl you like, Sehun”
The boy just scoffed, earning a “Not with that attitude you won’t” from Jiwan, next to him.
Of course, they started to bicker right after so Bit-na just assumed that everyone was in favor of her idea. And that was how they had all found themselves in one of the clubs in Seoul on Saturday night.
The air was buzzing with the energy of people dancing and laughing. They were all already a couple of drinks in, and everyone was excited and having fun. Even Sol, who was used to not drinking at their outings, was a little bit tipsy and grinning from ear to ear. Ever since her and Jiwan had started dating, she has been able to be more laid back. During the years of pining for her now girlfriend, she had learned to be cautious and always be on her guard. She was always cautious to not say too much, to not make her touches too meaningful, on her guard to not let her feelings be shown on her face. Now, though, she was finally allowed to let down that guard, just be, and love Jiwan freely. So recently she participated, even a little, in their drinking when the group went out. The fear of slipping up, saying too much or doing too much, not existing anymore. So, when the friend group decided to get shots, she didn’t decline anymore. She had to admit, the alcohol running through her was making her feel warm and happy. She could understand why Jiwan would get drunk from time to time, but she was still pacing herself. She had to be sober enough so that she could take care of Jiwan at the end of the night if needed. She was still a bit tipsy and buzzing though, so when Bit-na dragged her and Gyu-hyun to the dance floor, she followed them. Jiwan gave her an encouraging shove and a smile, while she stayed back, engaging in a conversation with Nabi.
“You two radiate happiness ever since you started dating. I am so happy and proud of you, both” Nabi said, leaning in so that Jiwan could hear her over the music.
“Thank you, Nabi-ah. You get credit too” Jiwan chuckled “You gave me great advice”
“I do my best” she said, smiling and downing another shot.
“You know, I have been thinking of changing to a painting major” this had been something she had been thinking about for a while now. She had followed Sol to university and chose the sculpture major, just like the other girl, without thinking about it too much. Recently she had finally realized why she had done that, and while she was struggling, she didn’t regret it for one second. However, she felt it was time for a change, and she had always enjoyed painting more than sculpting.
“What does Sol think of this? I assume you have already told her” Nabi asked curiously.
“She’s as supportive as ever” Jiwan said softly, smile playing at her lips, as she looked over at Sol on the dance floor. Bit-na has taken both her hands and was making her jump with the beat of the music. The dancing did look awkward, but Sol was laughing, and it seemed like she was really enjoying herself. It made Jiwan’s heart flutter to see her girlfriend like this, finally allowing herself to have fun.
“Have you talked to Professor about this? What does she say?” Nabi brought her attention back to the conversation.
“Not yet, I was thinking of going on Monday. Sol said she would - “
Two things happened simultaneously as Jiwan trailed off. The song changed, the sounds of an electric guitar and deep base started to play as a woman’s soft voice filled the club and Sol started to slowly sway to the sound of the music. She had her eyes closed, completely lost in the music, hands running through her hair as she swayed from side to side. Jiwan felt her heartbeat pick up, everything else drowning out. She could only see Sol and the way she was moving her hips without a care in the world. She felt like everything was happening in slow motion. Her mouth agape, forgetting what she had wanted to say or what she had been talking about in the first place. Na-bi who had witnessed the change in Jiwan’s demeanour, followed her line of sight, trying to figure out why the girl next to her seemed to need a reboot. She quickly understood when she saw Sol, sensually dancing while Bit-na was cheering her on. In a way she was really shocked to see Sol, the usually so in control Sol, completely let go and have fun. On the other hand, she had noticed slight changes in the way Sol was handling herself ever since her and Jiwan got together. She was genuinely happy for them.
“Jiwan-ah…” she chuckled “Go…”
Jiwan finally getting out of her trance, turned to her “Huh?”
“Go get your girl” Nabi repeated, offering an encouraging smile.
Jiwan hesitantly got up, her blush going all the way up her ears. She glanced over at Sol. The girl was dancing to the beat of the music, hands in her hair to flick it over to one side again as the button up she was wearing rode up a bit, exposing the soft skin of her stomach. Jiwan could feel a familiar heat settle in her stomach. She would be embarrassed by the way just looking at her girlfriend was making her feel, if it didn't make her feel way too good. Every time she would look at Sol, her mind would replay the way the other girl had come undone under her just last week. She had been in awe of Sol and the way her body had been reacting to her touches. She still couldn’t quite believe that she had that much effect on the other girl. The one thing she was sure of though, was that she wanted to see Sol in that state over and over again. It had become increasingly harder to keep her hands to herself when being around Sol, which is why she took a deep breath, and reminded herself that they were in public as she made her way towards her girlfriend. When Sol saw Jiwan approaching, a big grin formed on her face. She held out her arms waiting for the other to step into them.
“Jiwan-ahhhh” Sol slurred, just a little bit, as Jiwan sung her arms around her waist and closed the distance between them. “My favourite person!”
Jiwan giggled upon hearing that. “Are you drunk?”
Sol halted, seeming to think hard about the question. “Maybe just a little bit”
Around them the song changed again. Another song with a deep base started to play. Sol took Jiwan’s hand, still warmly smiling.
“Dance with me Jiwan-ah” She took hold her girlfriend’s hand and patiently waited for an answer. Even tipsy Sol was a considerate gentlewoman. Jiwan just smiled, nodding, as she placed Sol’s hands on her hips and stepped closer to her. She threw her own arms around Sol’s neck and started to sway her own hips to the music. She could see Sol starting to flush. Jiwan smirked, she knew that Sol hadn’t thought that far ahead when suggesting dancing together. She enjoyed the effect she was having on the other girl, with time becoming bolder in her teasing. She held Sol’s gaze as they moved to the music. Sol’s eyes kept flickering to her lips and then back up to meet hers. She felt the taller girl’s grip on her hips tighten as she pulled her closer. Jiwan’s unclasped her hands from behind Sol’s neck and let one of them slowly run down the other girl’s shoulder, tracing her exposed collarbones, and let it halt on her sternum. She placed her other hand to Sol’s face and cupped her jaw. She leaned in and kissed the corner of her mouth, smirking as Sol tried to chase her lips when she pulled back. She shook her head and turned around. Taking hold of Sol’s hands and putting them on her hips again as she backed up into her girlfriend. Sol’s complete front was pressed into Jiwan’s back, as she leaned her chin on the shorter girl’s shoulder. Jiwan continued rolling her hips in tune with the music. She could feel Sol’s breathing quicken and her heartbeat pick up. Sol, gathering all her courage, swiped Jiwan’s hair to one side and buried her face in the newly exposed area. She breathed in Jiwan’s familiar scent, hands fisting into her shirt. When Sol started kissing her neck, the shorter girl let her head fall back on her girlfriend’s shoulder, running her hand through her hair. Jiwan’s eyes closed as she let herself just feel. All she could feel was Sol kissing her neck, her hands running up and down her ribs and stomach, Sol’s hips swaying and rolling in unison with hers. She was breathing heavily. All she wanted to do was to kiss the other girl, run her hands all over her body and show her just how hot she was. Sol took hold of her left hand, turning her around and placing it on her shoulder.
“Jiwan-ah…” it came out breathless, not audible over the music, but Jiwan understood. She stepped closer, gaze falling to the taller girl’s lips and back to her eyes. Sol pulled her in, hands on her lower back, getting closer and closer. Jiwan’s eyes fluttered shut, dying to feel Sol’s lips on hers…
“Oh hell no!” Came a scream from next to them that made them jump apart. It was Bit-na, looking angrily in their direction. “Yah! Get a room! You’re making me feel single, even though I am here with my boyfriend! Can you believe that?” She glanced over at Gyu-hyun, who just smiled and put a calming hand on her shoulder.
“Bit-naaaaa!” Jiwan was bothered, her lips pouting and trying to put her best puppy-dog eyes on. “Don’t be such an asshole!”
“Don’t even talk to me! Sol, take your girlfriend and go cool off!” Sol just nodded. It might have been the alcohol, but Bit-na was scaring her a little at this moment.
“I am watching you! You better behave!” She yelled after them, as she watched Sol drag a pouting Jiwan away to cool down, as Bit-na had so politely suggested.
“These gays…”
