Jisung was in her room mentally preparing herself for the exhausting night that she wouldn’t be able to escape no matter what, trust that she has tried many times to lie her way out of this godforsaken tradition of rave nights but failed spectacularly everytime.
“-but i need to feed the rats at night,” Jisung whined as the last resort.
“We all know you feed them in the morning and evening,” Renjun deadpans.”You’re not getting out of this Jisung.” And that was the end of that.
Jisung was still moping in her room when Donghyuck burst into her room unannounced,”Are you ready for the most fun night of your life?” She screamed while walking into the room with a huge grin on her face. She was dressed scantily, as was the dress code for nights like these. She was wearing a top that revealed more than it covered her body paired with a really short transparent skirt with fur on the edges and white fishnets that were bejeweled at the top near her thighs, Jisung thought they really brought out her tan skin.
Donghyuck gasped at her, seeing that Jisung still wasn’t ready,”Jisung we’re literally leaving in 30 minutes!”
Jisung shrugged looking at her entire closet that was emptied out into her room covering every surface except her bed. Donghyuck glared at her and advanced towards her with resolute steps, ”Go shower while I pick out an outfit for you,” She pushed her towards the bathroom. Jisung showered defeatedly, so much for skipping under the guise of not being ready.
It was only when she finished drying herself she realized that she hadn’t brought any clothes for her to change into, fuck did she really have to walk out only with her towel into her room with Donghyuck there. Jisung stayed there contemplating whether it was better to either stay in the bathroom and risk Donghyuck’s wrath or just go into her room, when Donghyuck knocked the door,”If you’re not out in 10 seconds I am coming in there.”
Jisung cursed the universe for the way her life was going.
Jisung securely wrapped the towel around her body and stepped out cautiously, her hand still holding onto the towel. Donghyuck was sitting on the bed with her back to Jisung so she walked up to the bed peering over Donghyuck’s body to look at the outfit she put together. It was a skin tight long sleeved crop top that would just barely reach her midriff, a skirt that was quite long compared to Donghyuck’s skimpy skirt but with a slit on it and accessories that was being closely examined by Donghyuck. Not bad, Jisung thought; She didn’t make it extremely revealing which would be uncomfortable for Jisung while still making it slutty enough. Jisung was kind of getting excited at the thought of wearing this outfit now, maybe the night won’t be so bad afterall.
“You like it?” Donghyuck asked, looking expectantly at Jisung’s face. Jisung nodded and shot her a thumbs up while grabbing the clothes laid out for her and heading towards the bathroom. Jisung pulled them on quickly and headed back because she still had to do her hair and put make up on.
She found Donghyuck waiting for her on the bed and Jisung sat on the bed next to her with their thighs pressed together. Jisung patiently let Donghyuck do her makeup, she was gifted in the makeup section, always helping the others on nights they go out. As Donghyuck patted various things onto her face, Jisung looked at her face, which was positively glowing with the amount of glitter on it and her lips which were already plump looked so good swathed in glittery gloss, Jisung wanted to bite her lower lip and suck on it until the gloss was replaced with her spit.
Jisung shook her head out of habit to get rid of these thoughts,”Don’t move!” shrieked Donghyuck, “you almost made me mess up your entire face jisung!” she scolded.
Jisung decided that closing her eyes would be for the best to avoid another scolding. She enjoyed the feeling of Donghyuck’s hands on her face, controlling herself from rubbing her face into Donghyuck’s palms like a cat.
“Okay, sit up straight,” Donghyuck ordered, “I’m gonna put eyeliner on,” she announced and dropped herself onto Jisung’s lap, Jisung opened her eyes in haste and got an eyeful of Donghyuck’s exposed cleavage.
“What are you doing?” Jisung spluttered trying to pull her legs from underneath Donghyuck, but she sat there unmoved. Jisung turned sideways, her body fully resting on the bed now at least in this position she didn’t have to be face to face with her problems (Donghyuck’s boobs)
“Oh,” Donghyuck said, “That’s a better position actually.”
What.
She got off Jisung at least,”Lie on your back” Jisung listened because she was a mega simp apparently. The second she lay on her back, Donghyuck’s knees were immediately placed next to her waist and Donghyuck was sitting right on top of her. This was so not a better position for Jisung. What was she supposed to do with a pretty girl sitting on her lap? Not freak out?
“You’re too tall to put eyeliner on when you’re sitting,” Donghyuck said, clearly oblivious to the out of body experience Jisung was going through at that moment, “you’re the perfect height when lying down like i'm drawing on you.”
Like that’s a normal thing to say to your friend, Jisung was gonna die from this, her gravestone will read ‘Here lies Jisung who died of lesbian yearning’ and every edgy lesbian was going to take a picture of it and post it on tumblr, she was going to be embarrassed even after death. Despite the reassurance from the thoughts about dying, she still had to deal with the problem at hand currently, Donghyuck was wriggling and getting comfortable on Jisung, moving to lie down on her.
Their chests pressed together and Jisung could feel herself turning red, was all this really necessary for mere eyeliner?
“Close your eyes for me,” Donghyuck said softly, like the proximity changed something in her too. Jisung closed her eyes and immediately felt Donghyuck move closer, her breath hitting Jisung’s nose and the wet tip of the eyeliner glided across her eyelids. After a few moments of just feeling the eyeliner, Donghyuck’s palms rested on Jisung’s cheeks for the second time that night. The touch spread warmth and fuzziness inside her instantly and she could only hope that Donghyuck did not feel the goosebumps that covered her body.
Donghyuck moved a lot by default, never able to pay attention to movies completely, always fidgeting and changing positions, Jisung could even write a whole passage about how that was such a classic Donghyuck trait. This trait however wasn't so endearing when it involved her constantly moving her hips on top of Jisung’s, she had a sinking feeling that the sudden warmness she felt underneath her clothes was not because of the weather.
Out of reflex, Jisung brought her hands up to hold Donghyuck’s hips still, “You move too much,” Jisung whined. Donghyuck seemed to freeze up at that but it was only for a split second and she was back to her normal self, simply laughing and putting down the eyeliner finally.
“You can open your eyes now Ji.”
Jisung opened her eyes slowly trying to blink away the stickiness of the eyeliner. “Ah,” Donghyuck exclaimed, “that looks perfect, just a few gems and you’ll be all ready.” Donghyuck moved off her to grab the packet of gems, and immediately came back to the same position this time even more forward that she was almost seated on Jisung’s stomach. She also made Jisung close her eyes again in case she accidentally poked her eye.
Jisung sighed and complied, feeling the cold glue on her face in strategically placed dots. Once they were done Jisung had to patiently wait until they dried off and Donghyuck would only get off her once she was sure that they wouldn’t fall off her face.
Donghyuck placed her hands on Jisung’s shoulder and boosted herself off Jisung, sitting next to her instead. Jisung got up and tried to touch the gems that were lined up on her face, “Don’t you dare,” warned Donghyuck. “You look so pretty like this Jisung-ah.”
Jisung felt her heart positively drop to her stomach, she muttered a thank you and got up from the bed to check herself out on the mirror and wow Donghyuck really made her look so good, Jisung knew for sure that she was gonna get so much attention tonight.
On cue, as if she knew when they finished getting ready Renjun poked her head into the room, “Ready to leave?” she questioned, her jaw going slack at the sight of Jisung, “You really need to hire Donghyuck as your personal stylist, I’ve never seen you look so delicious before.” Renjun said while openly checking her out, her eyes seemed to be stuck at Jisung’s legs which rarely saw the light of day.
“Okay, enough checking Jisung out,” Donghyuck said, “can we leave?”
Renjun muttered something under her breath and left the room expecting them to follow her out.
Jeno was waiting in the car for them, sending them both a warm smile as they got inside, Renjun got the front seat and Jisung was squeezed in the middle seat with Donghyuck and Jaemin but honestly? She didn't mind, it was nice to be warm and surrounded by her friends sometimes.
They pre-gamed on the way to the rave and Jisung sipped her drink slowly not wanting to get wasted fast. Despite already being pressed up together, Donghyuck always had her hands on her, whether it was their arms tangled together or fingers playing with her stockings. Jisung felt the need to reciprocate in some way so she turned her body entirely towards Donghyuck, giving her full attention.
Too soon they reached the place and Jisung was forced to separate from Donghyuck, she didn't want to seem too clingy anyway, she can hang out with her other friends for a while, it's not the end of the world. The rave seemed to be at full-swing already, the lights were flashing rapidly and the ground seemed to be more wet with spilled drinks than dry. They pushed past the crowd trying to find Mark and Chenle but Chenle found them first screeching out Renjun’s name and being heard despite the loud music.
After passing around greetings they got down to business, each chugged a drink down and started to sway to the music. Jisung laughed with everyone as they made silly moves. Jisung, despite being a dancer, got tired early (curse of anemia) and decided to sit for a while. Renjun was dancing between Mark and Chenle, dancing was a loose term as they were both just grinding onto her at that point, Jisung was regarding them with disgust as someone sat next to her.
It was Jaemin, smiling at Jisung, “Hey.”
Jaemin seemed to want a break as well and they sat around for a while before Jeno came and tried to get Jaemin to be her wing man, “Help me Jaemin, she's really pretty and she wants me to come dance with her friends.”
Jaemin chuckled and asked if Jisung wanted to come as well and jisung honestly couldn’t see why not, it was really fun and the girl Jeno was chatting up was called Eric she found out and her friends were fun to be around as well but Jisung stuck to Jaemin, not comfortable with strangers as fast as Jaemin was.
Jaemin allowed her to stick to her, always paying attention to Jisung and making sure she was having fun too but after a while they both separated from them and looked for their friends. Jisung scanned the place and easily found everyone but Donghyuck seemed to be staring right at her. Jisung waved to her and Donghyuck looked like she didn’t notice that. Weird.
As they got back with the group, Jisung could feel that something was wrong, Donghyuck was right there but it felt different. Jisung was torn between seeking out Donghyuck and asking her what's wrong and not wanting to read too much into it. Ultimately she couldn’t take it any longer and she pulled Donghyuck outside under the guise of getting fresh air, Donghyuck was hesitant but followed her out anyway.
“You okay?” Donghyuck asked.
“I should be asking you that,” Jisung replied, looking right into her eyes, “you seem off.”
Donghyuck looked startled but resigned, like she was caught.”I don’t know why but it bothers me,” she wasn’t looking at Jisung anymore, “-when you are close with Jaemin.”
Jisung was not expecting that. She didn’t know what Donghyuck meant, was she jealous of Jaemin or was she jealous of Jisung? Maybe she liked Jaemin and wanted Jisung to maintain some space with Jaemin. Jisung could feel her throat pulse in pain of incoming tears at the thought of Donghyuck with someone else but they were friends first and Jisung had to support her didn’t she?
“I'm so sorry, I had no idea it was like that between you and jaemin. I'll never come between you guys again, I’m so sorry.”
“Jisung wha-”
“You like Jaemin don’t you?” Jisung stated leaving no room for anything else, “you should've told me, Maybe i can help you get close to Jaemin?” Jisung has no idea why she said that if Donghyuck agreed she might just have to move cities there’s no way she can set up Donghyuck with someone else and watch her be happy with someone else.
“Jisung wait.” Donghyuck stopped her, “You don’t understand.”
“You absolute dumbass,” Donghyuck remarked, “I was trying to be subtle and tell you that I like You.’
Oh. Donghyuck likes her. She actually likes her back? “You’re kidding.” Jisung said half hoping that this is all a dream.
“Unfortunately not, I don't know how you didn’t notice me being obsessed with you these past few weeks.” Donghyuck sounded weak and tired. That's when Jisung realized that in her shock she forgot to tell Donghyuck that she liked her back. This was going all wrong, Jisung wanted to jump.
“Um I have something to tell you actually,” Jisung couldn’t bear to look at Donghyuck anymore, “I kinda have been liking you for a while now?” it sounded more like a question rather than a statement.
“You have?” There was a hopeful lilt in her voice but it changed quickly, “You like me back and you decided that asking me if I'm kidding is the right way to reply to me confessing?”
Donghyuck walked closer with a threatening stance, “I'm sorry! I was in shock, you can’t blame me.”
“I am definitely blaming you. I thought I ruined our friendship!” Donghyuck exclaims while pulling Jisung into a rough embrace half manhandling and half lovingly. Jisung didn’t exactly want to stop it.
Donghyuck let her go eventually but hovered close, their noses almost touching, “By the way, when I was helping you get ready, I was kinda hoping that you’ll get dressed in front of me.” Donghyuck pouted animatedly.
“You’re a perv!” Jisung pushed her away.
“Oh, I'm the perv? Who was the one unable to take their eyes off my boobs tonight?”
Jisung really thought that she was slick. Donghyuck’s boobs always seemed to be the problem, Donghyuck’s boobs which she can freely ogle at now. Donghyuck would definitely like that.
She moved her gaze to Donghyuck’s chest, unashamedly staring, “I was, but I bet you enjoyed that, didn’t you?”
“That’s besides the point actually.” Donghyuck stepped closer, placing her hands on Jisung’s waist. Jisung chuckled and wrapped her arms around Donghyuck’s shoulders despite being taller than her.
“Wanna go and dance for a bit?”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
Who knew that Jaemin would be the reason Jisung was able to get into a relationship with Jisung, definitely not Jisung.
