don't look back

@ never sleep.
The walls were plastered with picture, most of them were irrelevant art. But it was something that would allow you to forget you were sitting in a doctors' waiting room. No matter how people felt about the doctor behind the door, they would still feel the nerves building up. Winding up so tight that it could be felt on the other side of the room. Addie's eyes shifted from the painting to the young girl who was sitting on the other side of the room, glass separating them. She'd seen her a few times knowing that she was a part time receptionist. But it never failed to amaze her how the looks she got even from someone who was older than her. It was judgemental. Even though the didn't know her story. All they could see was a woman who had transformed. Someone who was shallow in her thinking and wanting to look perfect. Though it was far from the truth. Instead of doing this for bigger boobs or even perkier breast. No she did this because the chances of having to relive her nightmare was a higher change than her graduating. And she didn't want to have to face it again. So having the tissue removed and replaced was the only option she had at a normal life.

"Addilyn Pierce." The soft voice rang out pulling her from her thoughts. Quickly standing she followed the nurse back. She knew today's check up was just to make sure everything was healing. But it was still nerve racking to say the least. Her body rejecting the implants was her biggest fear.

Lights flashed and music pulsed. The place was packed a with warm bodies and he couldn't be happier by the turn out. The money was flowing just as much as the booze was. And his stash was slowly dwelling. Leaving tonight with nothing to sell would be a high he'd yet to hit. But it was close to happening and the night had just started. He couldn't believe how eager people was to start off the weekend.

Taehyung wondered around the place his eyes scoping out the sights. Hoping to find a bit of fun for the night. Though he wasn't to pleased. Moving out side he couldn't help the smile that pulled at his lips. The water catching the setting sun and he wished he had his camera. But now wasn't the time to get into his hobbies. His eyes shifted to the sight of girl running around in practically nothing. Some had lost their clothes and was swimming in their underwear. But a few had taken the extra step in shedding their tops completely. And to say he wasn't interested in the sight was an understatement. But it seemed a bit to easy. He liked a bit of challenge.

Yoongi wasn’t really sure how to feel about the silence he lived in now - or at least in the moments he didn’t have somebody sharing his bed. But that was more of a reminder than anything, because normally, his neighbor would ruin any chance he had of getting laid. That hadn’t been the case lately, though, and he wasn’t entirely sure what to think about it, especially when it was so quiet because he and his neighbor weren’t arguing or delving into banter every few hours lately. In fact, he hadn’t seen her at all lately.

He’d sent away his latest hook-up just ten or fifteen minutes ago. Eventually standing, he got dressed before heading out, figuring he could get some deals done before he’d relax. Running a hand through his hair, he made his way out, passing a glance towards his neighbor’s door, noting the continued silence from the room within. Where was that girl, anyway? He knew it shouldn’t really matter to him, but he’d gotten far too used to encountering her and annoying her just as much as she annoyed him.

---

Before now, Quinn wouldn’t even entertain the thought of going to parties. Her father was a well-respected police chief, he’d never approve of this. But, she was in college now. It was a time for her to enjoy freedom, to see what life had in store for her. And she couldn’t do that if she didn’t try to experience as much as she could while she could, before her father decided that college wasn’t a good idea and forced her to come back.

Her eyes took in everything as she wandered through the party, a bottle already in her hand, because she felt it was much safer than a cup. It was all a little overwhelming, which was probably why she found herself outside within a matter of minutes - though a part of her was sure that outside was worse, considering how many nearly naked people were running around and jumping in the pool and swimming. “Yikes,” she murmured with slight surprise, peering around a bit, not entirely sure how to really feel about all of this.

@ never sleep.
A smile pulled at her lips as she stood, nodding softly. "Thank you." She told the woman before her. They'd just spent the last hour going over her healing and the medications she was taking. And all her precaution she should be taking. And signs of growth. Even with her fake assets she still faced the chance of reassurances. And that frightened her, yet she was thankful her chances were lower now.

Slipping into her car she turned the key, hoping the pile of junk wouldn't kick the bucket. The sound of the engine firing up had her breathing out a sigh, before pulling out of the parking spot and heading back to campus. She had so much stuff she had to get done. After being in the hospital for a while she'd fallen behind. And though she'd managed to get caught up in a few classes while her stay had her bedridden. Her friends were only able to help her so far as they didn't have all the same classes. Pulling her car into the assigned parking spot, she stepped out of her car tugging at her shirt. The short fabric barely covering her chest, only wearing it for the sake of her doctor's visit. As normally she'd never been so exposed. But not being able to wear a bra had her feeling a bit to insecure. Moving to the building she did her best to keep her composure.

---

Sitting back on one of the patio couches his eyes shifting around the area. Letting himself relax while a few of his guys busied themselves with selling. Shifting lightly he smirked watching the show of the women prancing around. The sound of the door opening pulled his attention from the show. His eyes landing on the girl that exited the house, letting out a soft chuckle at the surprised look on her face. "Hey doll." He called out to her, before pushing one of his friends out of the seat next to him. "Come hang out." He told her patting the free seat next to him. He was used to people being drawn to him. He was after all extremely friendly. And most people didn't really associate him with a gang. It was just the charm he put off. He was a man of many talents. And blending in was one of his greatest feats. Smiling expectantly up at her, he waited for her to take up his offer. "Come on I don't bite." He teased her, knowing that this beauty was far out of her element and it was always the ones that put up the most resistances. And gave him much fun in the chase. As they always wanted to be caught.

Yoongi was coming back from a few drug runs, having gotten it all handled pretty easily - but it was never a problem for him, anyway. He’d been doing this since he was a kid, after all. Still, as he headed inside, he arched a brow when he spotted Addilyn, and he smirked slightly when he caught sight of her, picking up his pace to walk next to her. “Well, hello neighbor,” he said easily, shoving his hands in his pockets as he walked, though he arched a brow when he noticed the low cut shirt, and he couldn’t ignore what he saw. That was new, he could admit. And he hadn’t ever seen her wearing a low cut shirt before. “Long time no see. Where have you been, hm?” He arched a brow, taking her in, his smirk remaining in place. “It’s been awfully quiet without you around.”

---

Quinn blinked when she heard somebody talk and, looking over, she watched the guy for a moment. He was attractive, she could admit that, though it took her a moment to realize that he was talking to her - after all, she was sure he’d been watching everybody else running around. “I, um…” she started, and she shifted a bit as she watched him before she eventually nodded, deciding to give in against all her better instincts. “Okay, I guess…” Moving over, she sat down, though she made sure not to sit too close to him. “Does all of this usually happen at these parties?” She motioned to the girls, curious, and looked to the guy, taking him in, mostly wanting to try to start a conversation, because she didn’t want to just sit there in awkward silence the whole time.

@ never sleep.
Addilyn jump slightly at the sound of his voice, though her eyes shifted to meet his side profile. Rolling her eyes as his was as expected on her exposed skin. "Busy." It was the one thing that she could come up with off the top of her head. She didn't want anyone to know, and the few friends she'd told had managed to keep it quite. As she didn't like dealing with people starting at her or giving her the sympathy looks. Most people who she'd told just believe she was saying it for the attention. Or as an excuse to get a boob job. But none of them truly knew anything about her. And she expected the man next to her to be no different. Though of course she could use the quite. And that's why as of late she'd been staying at her friends apartment. But now her room mate was back and she couldn't anymore so she was stuck returning to her dorm. "You act like I was the loud one." She scoffed before rolling her eyes. She'd only ever been hateful to him because when she did ask nicely for him to turn his music down. He did the opposite and turned it up making her over sleep and nearly miss a very important exam. So she got even. But it didn't stop there. However she was hoping that on her return things would be different. But she doubt it.

---

Taehyung couldn't help the smile that broke out on his face as she took the seat next to him. A soft laugh leaving his lips as she questioned the party. "First party." He stated knowing that she seemed like the goody two shoes type. And he was very interested in seeing just how far she was willing to go on her first party. "It just depends on the supply." He told her. Knowing full and well that most people were less likely to expose themselves to danger unless they were high or drunk. And she was naive to think that this didn't happen at every party. Just different settings. "They seemed to be having fun." He told her, though his eyes were locked on her. Not the women who were desperately trying to get some helpless soul to join them.

“Busy doing what, exactly?” Yoongi asked with curiosity as he watched her, because he definitely wasn’t letting her off with such a simple explanation. His eyes ran over her for a few moments, trying to see if anything else was different about her, though he couldn’t determine a reason as to why she’d had modifications made at all. Hearing her words, he couldn’t help but snort. “You could be, or are you forgetting all the times you yelled out to ‘warn’ the girls I brought over about issues that weren’t even real?” He tilted his head with curiosity then, taking her in, his curiosity getting the better of him. “I mean, clearly, if you weren’t loud, I wouldn’t notice the silence so easily. So are you gonna be honest and explain what’s going on or not?”

---

Quinn watched him with surprise, admittedly enjoying the sound of his laugh, but she offered a small nod. “Yeah… I have a strict dad, so I never went to parties before,” she explained carefully, but she left it at that, because she was sure he didn’t want to know her whole life story. Telling him that much was probably already too much, she didn’t want to be the type of person who overshared with a stranger or anything. She arched a brow, though, now curious. “Supply of what?” she asked quietly, her gaze running over his features for a moment. Still, she eventually offered a small nod. “It does seem that way… But I can’t imagine doing any of that, being that… Comfortable being so exposed…”

@ never sleep.
Throwing him a questioning look she scoffed. "Like I owe you an explanation." She told him, shaking her head. "And if I remember correctly I was nice enough to ask you to keep it down. Instead you decided to get louder." She sighed. "And the last thing I want to hear is a girl faking how good in bed you are." She shook her head remember the first girl she'd ever heard. Her moans were more like screams and it was rather painful to have to hear. And it was way to fake that the next day when he appeared she could tell that he hadn't enjoyed it either. So any time she heard a girl's voice bleed through the walls she wasn't living through that again. However a few girls like the idea of someone listening to them. And it bit her in the ass, so she invested in a pair of headphones.

---

Taehyung let out a soft chuckled before leaning closer to her. "Drugs." He told her, nearly whispering it into her ear. Shifting he peered down at her, smiling brightly at her. "Well I doubt any of the girls down there feel comfortable exposing themselves while their sober." He told her, knowing that she would fit in well with them if she was to take the same drugs they had. However it wasn't his intention to allow that to happen. She wasn't something he wanted to share tonight. "Though it's only part of the fun." He told her, before grabbing his drink. Taking a drink of it he offered her his cup. "Try this." He motioned to the drink. It was rather strong but it was very tasty. And would get her to loosen up a bit.

Yoongi smirked slightly with the mention of it. “So mean, and I haven’t even done anything to actually piss you off yet,” he said easily in response, not even bothering to hide his amusement, though her attitude just made him more suspicious that something was definitely going on. He just had to figure out what - but he could tell that she wasn’t going to tell him, at least not right now and probably not any time soon, so he knew it would take some work. But he was determined and stubborn - and he was sure she knew that much, too. “You know, I could easily show you how good in bed I am, but you’re so determined to pretend you’re not interested.”

Quinn couldn’t help the faint blush that worked its way onto her cheeks when she noticed how close he was and heard him whispering into her ear. Peering up at him, she watched him quietly, taking him in for a moment. “Are they going to remember any of this tomorrow, then?” she asked with curiosity, though she could admit that she was finding herself more and more curious about this guy. Still, when he offered the drink, she took it since she’d seen him drink it, and she made a face after she took a sip. “Oh, that’s strong.” She shifted a bit. “I’m Quinn, by the way.”

@ never sleep.
(Got off work late and having to go in an hour earlier. So this is the only reply for tongith.)

Addilyn rolled her eyes at his response, stopping before looking at him. "Please if I wanted in your bed I would have given in to the hundred of other invites. What makes you think now would be any different?" She shot back at him. Knowing he was trying to get under her skin. It was slightly working. She'd thought he was good looking the first time she saw him shirtless with all his tattoos. But when he slammed the door in her face after she asked him to turn down his music he lost all appeal. And the more time around him the more annoying he got.

---

Taehyung let out a laugh before shrugging. "Well that depends on what they took and how much." He told her. Knowing that the things floating around wouldn't do the job alone, per se. There was also so many variables that played into it that he really didn't want to get into it. Taking his cup back from her he smiled before finishing the contents off. "I'm Taehyung." He smiled at her. "My friends call me Tae." He knew that pretty much everyone called him Tae. It didn't surprise him anymore that people gave up on trying to pronounce his name. "So how are you liking your first party?" He questioned her. Knowong that if he played his cards right she would very much enjoy the night.

(Don’t worry about it! I was asleep when you posted)

Yoongi hummed in thought before he shrugged slightly, amused. “I think I’m wearing you down over time,” he said easily, grinning at her, taking her in, “So, the more I ask, the more likely it is that one day, you’ll say yes, no matter how long it takes.” He winked teasingly, though he was confident in his words, and it was admittedly something he wanted to believe - that maybe one day, she would give into it. It was just a matter of waiting it out.

---

Quinn watched quietly, finding herself wondering what the girls had taken - not that she had any interest in it, but it was probably best if she knew, if she was aware, just to be safe. Still, her gaze went to the guy when he introduced himself and she smiled. “Taehyung,” she tested before nodding slightly, “It’s great to meet you, Tae.” For a moment, she chewed on her lip in thought and smiled. “It’s not so bad, you’re making it worth it.”

@ never sleep.
[Lol yeah, that never happened. If anything it got worse. Hence why I'm replying now.]

Addilyn frowned hearing his words. She'd never found someone so annoying in her life. "Please," she scoffed. "You sure you want to have sex with me. I mean the fact that we live next door to each other doesn't bother you a bit. Your not afraid I'll start stalking you." She'd heard plenty of times were girls didn't take the hint. "So let's forget I have self respect, and would never be willing to have a one night stand. And say we did fuck what then, huh?" She asked. "You'd what do everything to avoid me too. So music gets louder and you become an even more insufferable ass. Yeah no thanks." She shook her head as she head for her room. Knowing she still had a flight of stairs before she got there.

---

Taehyung smiled at her. He knew this wasn't anywhere near what a party could be like. "Well I say you don't need drugs or drinks to have fun. But a little never hurt." He winked at her, just teasing a bit. Grabbing a bottle that was sitting on the table he started to pour himself another drink. Mixing up the contents very well before taking a sip. The alcohol in it was very high yet you couldn't really tell as the mixer was drowning out the taste of it. Though the burn of alcohol was very much noticed. "What do you think?" He asked her, offering her the drink wanting to know her take on the drink. She after all being very inexperienced made him very curious if she'd be able to tell the differences. And he wanted to see just how adventurous she was.

(No worries!)

Yoongi felt his grin broaden with her words, because he was pretty sure she had to be thinking about it a bit at this point, even a little, especially with how much she was questioning him about it. “Oh, I definitely want to have sex with you,” he said easily, lifting his shoulders in a shrug as he walked with her, sticking near her shamelessly. “You don’t seem like the stalker type. You’d probably just use it as an excuse to hate me more. It’ll be so good, you’d force yourself to hate me more so that you don’t end up falling for me.” With his words, he felt a smirk tug at his lips and he shrugged. “If I played my music louder, it wouldn’t exactly make it so that I can avoid you. After all, it’d just annoy you more, so if the music gets louder, it clearly means I want more of your attention.”

---

“Seems like everybody’s using more than a little of both, though,” Quinn said with faint amusement, though she found herself watching him, wondering what he was doing. She was curious about him, to say the least, even more so since he’d decided to talk to her when he could have talked to anybody else here. But she could admit that she liked his attention, she liked talking to him and being around him like this. “Oh, you’re asking for my opinion?” She blinked with surprise but took the drink to take a sip, though she hummed at the taste. “It’s good.”

@ never sleep.
Addilyn felt a blush pull at her cheeks at his open admittance of wanting to sleep with her. Quite honestly leaving her speechless. "Wow." Was all that fell from her lips. Her eyes rolling at his explanation of why he was turning his music up loud. She scoffed shaking her head. "And you've never thought that knocking at my door and I don't asking me out somewhere wouldn't turn up better results. Or hell even talking to me, not slamming a door in my face." She questioned him. This honestly was the most they'd talked. However she was surprised he even bothered with her. Most guys got tired of her rudeness and left her alone.

---

Taehyung nodded smiling at her. "Yeah, they most certainly are." He chuckled. "But that's a party for ya." He teased her. "Its about letting loose and trying new things." He smirked at her. His eyes watched the way her lips wrapped around the cup. "Of course." Smiling brightly when she said it tasted good. "Good." He told her before moving back to the table and making himself something to drink. Letting her keep the previous drink. "Speaking of trying something new." He locked his gaze on her. "What's something you want to try doing?" He questioned her. Just curious as to what she was like.

Yoongi noticed the blush quite easily, and the sight of it filled him with pride. He was used to girls blushing around him, he had no qualms in admitting he was a charmer, but to know that he’d made Addilyn blush was a whole other thing. After all, she’d always seemed to have this impenetrable wall around her that he couldn’t figure out how to climb, and seeing her blush made him think maybe it was a start. “Aw, but you’re so hot when you’re mad, why would I risk missing out on that?” he asked easily, smirking as he watched her. “Would you prefer I ask you somewhere?”

---

Quinn’s eyes followed Taehyung carefully, unable to help it - not that she even really wanted to stop herself at this point. She sipped at the drink he’d given her, enjoying the taste, but she tilted her head when she noticed his gaze was focusing on her, and she tried to think about how to answer his question. “I’m not sure,” she admitted eventually, “I’m mostly just… Testing waters right now, trying to test my own boundaries, and figure out what’s worth trying, I guess.”

@ never sleep.
Addilyn chuckled as she started to climb the stairs. Throwing a look over her shoulder at the man that was following her. Furrowing her brows. "You're the only guy that thinks so." She scoffed. Shaking her head she turned her attention back to the steps. "You forget that I've had to deal with you being an ass to me for months what makes you think I'd like anything to do with you." She barely got her words out before her foot missed the next step and she started to fall.

---

Taehyung shifted scooting a bit closer to her. "That's smart. But doesn't usually work." He told her. "Most people over drink thinking that they don't have e much in their system. But it creeps up on you " he warned her. He was trying to play things cool, but it was hard to. She was so sweet and innocent and he just wanted to taste it. Even if it took all night he wanted just a small taste.

Yoongi grinned slightly. “Well, good, I don’t have to worry about competition,” he said easily - though he was sure he could handle any competition that was thrown his way. He was about to say more in response to her later words, but he saw her falling, and he reacted quickly, reaching to catch her, worried. “Shit,” he said, looking her over for a moment in concern, not really realizing how closely he was holding her - and not minding either, admittedly wanting to keep her that close for as long as she would allow it. “Are you okay?”

---

Quinn shifted a bit, turning a bit to face him better, and she lifted her shoulders in a shrug. “Well, I just mean… In general, in things that I want to try,” she tried to explain, though she smiled slightly. “Though, I guess even something creeping up on me would be a new thing to try at this point.” She made a face. “Unless it’s like… The creepy kind of creeping up on me.” But, she could feel an attraction to him creeping up on her, and she didn’t really want to fight that.

@ never sleep.
Addilyn gripped his shirt her heart racing. She was thankful he was here to catch her. At the same time she felt he was way to close for comfort. Shaking her head lightly she closed her eyes. "Light headed." She told him. Doing her best to stabilize herself with out his help. But it almost seemed impossible. "Need to sit down." She told him. Hoping he'd turn her lose enough for her to do so. But instead he was helping her onto the step. 'Thank you." She told him as she placed her arms on her knees and then rested her head on them.

---

Taehyung smiled at her before taking her cup from her. "Then you're cut off." He told her knowing she'd be feeling the drinks soon enough. And he didn't want her sloppy drunk. Just tipsy enough to let things progress. Though he could tell by the way she wasn't  put off by his closeness that she was wanting to try new things as well. "Tell me something you want to try." He's nearly whispering out to her as he's close to her ear now. His lips gently brush the lobe. Want to test the waters with her.

Yoongi watched her with concern, though when she mentioned needing to sit down, he gently sat her on the step before moving to sit down beside her, watching her still. “Do you need something to eat or something?” he asked with concern, not wanting to leave her, especially when she obviously wasn’t feeling well. Reaching out, he tentatively and carefully rubbed her back, hoping that perhaps that would help, even just a little. “Water? I could go grab whatever you need, if you need anything at all.” At this point, he just wanted to help her, so much so that all the playfulness had evaporated almost immediately.

---

Quinn pouted slightly when he took the cup. “What, already?” she asked with surprise, though she couldn’t say she entirely minded. It was probably better, anyway; the last thing she wanted was to end up getting so drunk that she forgot about the party altogether. Still, when Taehyung practically whispered into her ear, his lips brushing against her lobe, she could feel herself shudder, pausing for a moment in thought. “I’ve… Never kissed a guy after only just meeting him,” she admitted, “That might be worth trying…”

@ never sleep.
Addilyn could feel her body slowly starting relax. The sudden jolt made her realize that she wasn't at peak health just yet. Her body was still healing. Though when Yoongi mentioned getting her something it dawned in her she hadn't eaten yet. "No. I'm good." She told him lifting her head and looking at him. Offering him a small smile. "Thank you though." She was surprised he'd stayed, and at his comforting touch. Most guys would have sat her down and bounced. Maybe she was being to hard on him. After all being friends never hurt anyone. Grabbing the railing on the stairs she hoisted herself up. Taking a moment to get her balance and footing before. She start the trek back to her room. She hoped she had some food stashed in her room.

---

Taehyung smirked at her, "you'll thank me later." He told her. He could already tell by her blood shot eyes that she'd consume enough to make her feel good. Whether or not she was feeling it was the question. He doubted she was so open with someone she'd just meet. And he couldn't help but smile knowing that she was like putty in his hands already. "Really." Peering at her he leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. His kiss was soft at first, but quickly became demanding. After all if this was the only kiss he'd be getting from her he wanted to make it count.
