Caught In A Lie | Hwang Hyunjin

Hyunjin's hands travelled down to my waist and pulled me closer as my arms draped over his shoulders. The kiss only got more heated by the second. He eventually pulled away for a breath, staring into my eyes the entire time. My eyes gazed down at his pink lips and flushed cheeks. I felt his grip tighten on my waist for a second as his hands ran up my back to pull me closer as he leaned in again.

Without any warning, the door opened with a creak which forced us to pull away from each other.

Chaerin, Yoonhee and Jay stood on the other side of the door, as stunned as we were. I caught Jay glare at Hyunjin.

"Well, found her" Yoonhee snickered, suppressing a laugh.

Hyunjin cleared his throat. "We were having a private conversation.." I turned to him questionably only to see him wipe his bottom lip, smirking at Jay. I realized my lipstick had completely transferred onto him. He looked at his thumb with now smeared lipstick before looking at the trio. "Oh shit, sorry guys."

The sarcasm in his voice was evident as Jay stormed away, leaving Hyunjin with a proud expression on his face.

Yoonhee soon left as well, nudging Chaerin to leave us alone. As Chaerin was about to close the door, she peeked through one last time. "The staff are gonna start cleaning up in 5, don't get caught." She finally left with an amused smile.

I sighed and looked at him, my head hitting the wall as I leaned back. "How come your members never catch us?"

He smiled, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I said I was going to find you, they know better than to bother us." He clarified as he now leaned over me. He leaned in again before I stopped him.

"Let's not get caught in here" I said, attempting to wipe off the lipstick but only smudging it some more.

He pouted at my response then swatted my hand away. "Leave it there, I like it"

I raised a brow. "Fine, freak" I taunted as I turned the door handle.

He bounced behind me with a smile as I got out of the strange room. "You going to TXT's halloween party?"

"We're in the same company so I'm almost required to go"

His smile became wider. "What are you gonna wear?"

I abruptly stopped walking and turned around, Hyunjin stopped himself from bumping into me as he met my eyes. "It's a secret"

His pout didn't go unnoticed. "Fine, I'll have a pink tulip in my pocket." He said before leaving to find his group, I stood there confused and stunned.

"pink tulip?"

The party arrived a week later, I wore matching costumes with my group members, Chaerin and I were angels while Mina and Yoonhee were devils. Basic? maybe, but fitting.

It was a masquerade party so I didn't notice a lot of idols who said hello or shuffled past me. The aroma of all the different perfumes and colognes began to make my head spin as I stood in the middle of the party on my phone. I wasn't a big party fan. In fact, I never went to secret idol events like this. In my head, it was merely a promotion tactic. Becoming friends with the known idols as rookies gained you popularity, and that was probably half the reason the party was so crowded. I debated calling Hyunjin. I was only here because of him and he wasn't even here!

My finger ghosted over the call button when suddenly, a gloved hand wrapped over my eyes.

"Excuse me!"

I turned around and was met with a masked figure in a vampire costume. He wore red contacts and his vampiric teeth glistened through his smirk. I stared at the man questionably through the white feathered mask of my own.
