《MY Sweet Interlude》2-Reception
Advertisement
Aliya met Jungkook and Jimin as she made her way back to the reception hall. "Hey Aliya, how did it go?" Jungkook asked making Jimin laugh, she knew right away what he is asking about. They loved teasing her when it comes to her mom's friends matching her with one of their sons.
"Thanks but no thanks for the help Jimin." Aliya reached out to punch her friend's arm but he managed to dodge.
"I was doing you a favor Aliya, who knows maybe you'd get to meet your soul mate this time." Jimin said as he continued laughing.
"Oh please." Aliya replied, my soul mate just married someone else, she thought as she continued to try reaching for Jimin. Unfortunately, her heels got caught at the edge of her gown and she started sliding face first towards the floor. It happened so fast that the next thing she knew was that she landed into someone's arms, the ground just a few inches from her eyes. She looked up and then gasped when she saw who caught her. Her body was resting on Yoongi's arms and she struggles to get back to her feet.
Jungkook and Jimin came to her side pulling her up. "Are you ok?" They asked.
Aliya could only nod her head. She met Yoongi's eyes briefly. "Thank you." She said her hands reaching up to fix her hair, her face still hot from embarrassment.
Yoongi nodded in reply looking at her face before going down her body. He didn't say a word although the corners of his mouth turned up a bit.
The two men thanked Yoongi as he started to leave. Aliya followed him with her eyes as he walked away. That was embarrassing, and why him of all people, she thought as her heartbeat accelerates over what happened.
She exhales before turning back to her friends. She then finds the person that had been in her thoughts the whole day. He is standing before her with his hands in his pocket and a wide smile on his face. She wanted to run away, but she was frozen at her spot. Jimin and Jungkook comes up to him and gives him a hug, clapping him at his back as they congratulated him.
"Iya," This is how he calls her since they were kids.
"You haven't given me a hug yet." He says when she remains silent.
Aliya refused to meet his eyes, fixing her gaze on the bowtie he is wearing instead. She couldn't speak either as she got overwhelmed by her emotions.

"Is there a problem?" He asked when she remains at her spot, her eyes not meeting his. He reached out and took Aliya's chin so she'd meet his eyes where the tears starts to pool. She blinks a few times before shaking her head. She found the guts to hug him.
"Congratulations Tae-tae." She said, calling him by his childhood nickname too.
His hug was tight, and Aliya inhales his familiar scent, which she will miss as new boundaries had to be set between them.
"Are you sure you're ok?" He asked refusing to let her go even if she tried to pull away.
"I'm ok, don't worry." She replied, her voice shaking.
"Liar." He whispered before stepping back to look at her. He knows her too well.
"We can still talk about it."
Aliya shook her head. "No, this is your wedding so let's not spoil it by talking about what's wrong with me." She answered but no matter how hard she tried to hold back her tears, they started to roll down her cheeks. She quickly wipes them away.
Taehyung tilted his head when he saw her crying. "Iya, what's wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with her dummy, those are tears of joy. She's happy for you. Girls do that, when they get very happy, they cry too." Jimin replied, clapping Taehyung's shoulder. Aliya was grateful for having been saved by their friend.
"Maybe she was hurt when she almost fell on the ground while chasing you." Jungkook chuckled.
"You fell?" Taehyung asked Aliya.
Yeah really hard, for you...she thought despite her emotional state. I think I'm losing my mind, I am talking to myself Aliya told herself.
"I just tripped, you know me." She replied out loud.
"Yeah, Yoongi caught her before she landed face first on the ground." Jungkook explained. "You know Aliya and her accidents." He laughed.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Taehyung asked her again his eyes scanning her as he asked.
"I'm fine, really. I'm just a little emotional, you know, because of this hormonal thing that I get before and after my period." Aliya said chuckling and trying to appear happy. The boys accepted her explanation, this is a subject they don't feel very comfortable with.
Taehyung tells them it's they need to take photos with him and his bride. He takes Aliya's elbow to usher her inside.

They all walked towards the center, where the bride was, getting her pictures taken with her friends. Aliya hugged and congratulates her. She's always been nothing but nice and sweet, so she couldn't bear any grudge against her. Besides, her best friend loves her, and that is what matters most.
A short program followed where pictures of the bride and groom were featured starting from their baby pictures to the recent ones, recounting how the two met. The parents of the bride and the groom spoke, Jia's brother went up, and then Jungkook, as Taehyung's closest male friend. Aliya was supposed to speak, but she begged Taehyung not to make her, blaming it on nerves although she's spoken in public many times before.
The truth was if she did go up there, heaven knows what she'd end up doing and that is something she didn't want everyone to see.
As the night went on, Aliya diverted her attention to what was overflowing that night, alcohol. This is one of the perks of being the owner of the hotel where the wedding is being done. Taehyung's parents own a majority of the shares of this place. Her dad used to be their partner, but when he passed away, her mom thought it would be best to give up part of their share when their hotel company went public. At the moment, they still own 20% of the hotel share, Aliya's mom wants her to be a part of the business which is why she is working in the accounting department right now as a regular employee. That is how her mom wants her to start since she said she still has a lot to learn. She didn't want to think about work right now, she didn't want to think about anything... she told herself as she drank another glass of wine.
The party continued with Aliya dancing with Jungkook, Jimin, and Jin, while drinking as much alcohol as she could get. She was sitting at the table when she takes another glass of wine from a waiter, but before she could take a sip, Yoongi snatched it from her hand and drank it instead.
"You've drank too much already." He told her.
"No, I'm fine." She replied scowling up at him. Why is he suddenly talking to her? She wondered. "I can still handle myself." She added. Reality is she is tipsy but since her alcohol tolerance is high, she is still on her feet. She paused for a moment as an idea popped into her mind, she smiled at him before she grabbed his hand and dragged him to the dancefloor.
"Dance with me. I haven't danced with you yet, let's go."
"I don't like dancing." He replied in a flat tone, as he let himself get dragged by her. "Why are you asking me to dance with you? Look at you, you're obviously drunk, you can barely walk properly."
Aliya turned and then pressed a finger on his chest as she spoke. "What is wrong with me asking you for a dance? I am fine. I can still think clearly, and I am still well coordinated."
Yoongi chuckled. "Well, that's questionable. Didn't I just catch you when you fell earlier?"
"I slipped because my shoe got caught in my dress, so that doesn't count. I only had one glass of wine back then." Aliya explained. " As you can see, my memory is still sharp and I am still capable of making sound judgments, which a drunk person cannot do."
"Really? Maybe we can put that sound judgment of yours to a test." He smirked at her after saying it, watching her face closely as she tilted her head at him.
"A test? What kind of test?" She asked, fully intrigued. She doesn't know a lot about him and hearing him speak more than hello and how are you at her is something she wanted to take advantage of. She wanted to grab this chance to know this silent friend of hers. Does he really not like her like she's always thought? Can she consider him as a friend even if they barely spoke? These were the questions that were popping her in mind.
"A simple question to see if you are capable of making your so called-sound judgment." His smirk appears once again after saying this.
"A challenge? I love challenges, I am warning you though, because I don't back out." She grinned at him.
"We'll see about that." He replied as a devilish smile crossed his lips.
"If I ask you to come with me to my room. Will you go?" He said in a deep voice that made Aliya's inside quiver.
