Alcohol

Yoongi sighs s he looks at himself in the mirror. He had put his finest outfit on, but there was no use. He's almost certain he was not going to meet a wife at whatever party, Hoseok was taking him to not mention he'll probably have an awful time.
Hoseok
Hoseok
You look very dashing.
Hoseok chimes, as he takes a good look at Yoongi, who rolls his eyes in return.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Let us just go.
Yoongi says, and he grabs at Hoseok's vest, pulling him out of the room with him.
Hoseok
Hoseok
You could express some gratitude
He says, before he removes Yoongi's hand from his vest, and he intertwines their delicately, but before long, Yoongi pulls his hand away completely.
---
Yoongi
Yoongi
Dad, Mom, I'll be taking my leave, now.
He tells as he made saw them in the kitchen, Hoseok standing not very far behind him.
Mrs. Min
Mrs. Min
Have plenty of fun, you two
Hoseok
Hoseok
Bye Mr. & Mrs. Min.
He tells, an innocent-like smile before he follows Yoongi out of the house.
The skies had already turned a dark purple by the time they started walking. It wasn't a problem for Hoseok, he quite liked the cold, night air on his skin, Yoongi however was quiet different. He was not a fan of the cold. Nor was he a fan of animals. He's much bigger,, but they scare him to death.
Hoseok
Hoseok
Are you cold?
He asks as he stares at Yoongi, who had been hugging himself. Hoseok could very well see that the other was in fact cold, but he liked pulling things out of Yoongi. Otherwise, the other would just keep to himself.
Yoongi
Yoongi
No.
He denied, and Hoseok would be lying if he said he didn't already know that Yoongi would have said that.
Hoseok
Hoseok
That's a shame. I would've offered you my jacket, it is really warm and cozy.
Hoseok
Hoseok
It'd look really nice on you too, even better than it does on me.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Is this, perhaps, your attempt at persuading me to wear your jacket?
Hoseok
Hoseok
It could be... Did it work?
He asks, smiling widely as Yoongi sighed in defeat and the younger stretches his hand out for Hoseok to give him the jacket.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Give it here.
Hoseok smiles, and he pulls Yoongi to a stop before he helps him to put the jacket on, and Yoongi looks away from the other for a bit, as he fixed the jacket so tightly, and he'd complain, but he was so warm.
Having Hoseok do this for him made him feel strange. He was being helped with something so simple, something he could do for himself with his eyes closed, and it's being done by another man. And he's not sure if he minded or not.
There were little things like this that Hoseok always did. They felt weirdly intimate, and almost romantic but he... things like this shouldn't be done between the two of them. Hoseok just didn't understand that.
Hoseok
Hoseok
Is there something you want to talk about?
Yoongi looks up at him in confusion before he turns to start walking again.
Yoongi
Yoongi
No.
Hoseok
Hoseok
I'm still your best friend, Yoongi. I can tell when your mind is at work.
Hoseok
Hoseok
You can speak what is present on your mind.
Yoongi sighs, deciding not to deny it. Honestly, he was regretting telling Hoseok they weren't friends anymore.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I'm wondering when you're going to stop
He says, confusing Hoseok. What did that even mean?
Hoseok
Hoseok
stop what?
Yoongi doesn't respond, he just continues walking and even when Hoseok kept asking him for clarification he still kept quiet.

Taehyung
Taehyung
I thought this place would be more packed.
He says, looking around Namjoon's house. They came just a few seconds ago, and he thought it was going to be a more massive party. This was 30 people at best.
Jimin
Jimin
Me too, but I'm glad it's not. I only came because I couldn't not show up to Namjoon's birthday party
He explains and Taehyung looks to the other confused. Birthday?
Taehyung
Taehyung
Today is his birthday?
Jimin
Jimin
Yes. He's turning 18.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Oh, I hadn't known.
He says, and he feels almost a need to leave. How could he show up to someone's birthday party without a gift. How would he talk to Namjoon if he didn't have some sort of gift to give him.
Taehyung
Taehyung
I didn't bring a gift.
Jimin
Jimin
That's fine, I guess. You didn't know it was his birthday so i'm sure it won't matter.
Still, he felt guilty.
Jimin
Jimin
I had given him my gift since the morning. You should have seen the look on his face. He's such a cutie.
Taehyung smiles at that, earlier when he had been talking to Namjoon briefly he did see the other smile quite a bit, and he was really cute. He could just imagine the other's reaction to receiving a nice gift.
Jimin
Jimin
I am going to get us some punch, i will be back shortly.
Taehyung watches as Jimin disappears into the crowd. After a minute or two he decides to move, too many people had started pushing against him. He walks around for a bit, just looking at the design of the house. It was so much better than his. He continues looking around until he finds Namjoon.
His mouth opens slightly in shock before he tries to hide himself, but before he could. Namjoon's eyes find his and the older smiled brightly before he started making his way up to him.
Namjoon
Namjoon
Oh, Hey! You came
Taehyung
Taehyung
Yes, I am here.
He says, smiling awkward. not sure what to do with his hands.
Taehyung
Taehyung
I had not been aware that today was your birthday. If I had known I would've given you a gift.
He looked down a bit, not knowing what to expect for a response.
Namjoon
Namjoon
You being here is a gift enough.
Taehyung looks up a little, and he smiles softly before Namjoon speaks again.
Namjoon
Namjoon
Would you like something to drink? It's extremely rare in these parts
He says,holding up a bottle of what Taehyung's presumes to be alcohol. He'd never had before but he'd seen his parents with similar bottles before.
Taehyung
Taehyung
I... Sure
He says, and he follows behind Namjoon.
---
Jimin throws some of the drink into the last cup before he puts the bottle back on the table. He picks up the cups and he turns to find Taehyung, but as he does he sees Jungkook heading in his direction.
What was he doing here?
Jimin
Jimin
I thought you weren't coming.
He starts, and Jungkook lets out a sigh before he speaks.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I never said I wasn't.
He side steps Jimin, who turns to face the other.
Jimin
Jimin
Yeah, well....
He doesn't get to finish before he sees a small girl run up to the other, pulling him into a tight hug. He bites his lips as he stands there awkwardly.
The girl pulls away, arms still locked around Jungkook's neck and Jimin wishes he had left,the moment she came because nothing could've prepared him to watch as Jungkook leaned in to kiss her.
On the lips.
A soft gasp leaves Jimin's mouth. He didn't even know how to explain the way felt at the moment. All he wanted to do was get away and that's exactly what he does. He puts the cups down before he starts making his way through the crowd. He needed to leave.
--*
Yoongi watches silent from a corner as Hoseok greeted who he presumed was the guy who was throwing the party. Yoongi didn't know him. Hoseok mentioned briefly that they were friends but Yoongi never pulled much out of him.
As he watches Hoseok hug and smile at the other, he wonders whether he was the only man Hoseok treated like... a lover would.
The thing is he doesn't know whether he wants Hoseok to all the other guys in his life like he was a man who was in love or whether he wants to be the only one that Hoseok acts like a lovesick fool around.
Yoongi pulls himself out of his thoughts as Hoseok stands before him, snapping his fingers.
Hoseok
Hoseok
Are you okay?
He asks,, and Yoongi nods, folding his arms, but as he does, Hoseok grabs his forearm, and he pulls him over to an empty couch.
For a while, they stay silent. Yoongi had been keeping himself busy, just looking around at all the other people who were walking before him, others were just standing with drinks in their hands, and he envied all the men who spoke so effortlessly to all the girls. Making them laugh, he could never do that.
At least, he's too scared to even try.
He sighs, and he turns his attention to Hoseok, and he raises an eyebrow. He was writing in his journal. A small smile rises on Yoongi's thin lips.
Yoongi
Yoongi
What are you doing?
He asks, and he scoots a little closer to Hoseok, not like they were even that far apart to begin with.
Hoseok
Hoseok
Writing.
Yoongi
Yoongi
May I ask what about? You should be partying
Hoseok
Hoseok
I'd rather sit here in the quiet and write with you next to me.
Yoongi rolls his eyes a bit, folding his arms. Of course, Hoseok would say that.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I am going to the bathroom.
He stands, a little annoyed.
Hoseok
Hoseok
Shall I come with you?
Yoongi
Yoongi
No, stay.
---
Jungkook
Jungkook
Where are you going?
Jimin
Jimin
I think I am the one who should be asking you that question. I'm sure that pretty lady would not be quite pleased to know you are out here with me, huh?
He sasses, as he walked down the street, just a few blocks away from Namjoon's home. He just wanted to go home and forget about all of this.
Jungkook
Jungkook
You are absolutely correct.
He laughs humorlessly and Jimin could hear that the other had stopped following him and that makes him unbelievably upset.
He groans before he turns, and he speaks, watching as Jungkook's figure departed.
Jimin
Jimin
Is she the reason you want nothing to do with me anymore?
Jungkook stops, before he turns to face Jimin just seconds after, and he folds his arm.
He makes his way back up to Jimin before he speaks.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Let me take you home. It is way too dark out.
Jimin pulls him to a stop.
Jimin
Jimin
Answer me, will you not?
Jimin
Jimin
Is she the reason?
Jungkook
Jungkook
What do you want me to say?
Jimin
Jimin
I do not know myself.
He laughs at himself a little as he tears up.
Jimin
Jimin
I feel as pathetic as I have ever felt, and it is all thanks to you.
Jimin
Jimin
How could... Why would you kiss her in front of me?
He speaks, and Jungkook tries to walk away but Jimin holds him back.
Jimin
Jimin
Do you like her?
Jungkook
Jungkook
Let's not do this at this time, Jimin.
Jimin
Jimin
Then when shall we?
Jimin
Jimin
You owe it to me to answer my questions.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I owe you nothing.
Jimin
Jimin
Really?
Jimin laughs a little. In disbelief, the audacity of himm
Jimin
Jimin
You started this you know, you were the one who wanted me alone all the time. You were the one who always needed me by your side. You were the one who kissed me first!
Jimin
Jimin
You... And you can't even... You...
He sinks to the floor, crying and hugging himself in an attempt to calm himself down. He feels Jungkook pulling at his arms to get him to stand and Jimin tries to push him away, but Jungkook was way stronger than him. Eventually, Jungkook does pull him to a stand, and he hugs him, tightly and Jimin just cries into his chest. Soaking the fabrics of his shirt.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I'm sorry.
He whispers in the other's ear as he cried, kissing the hair of his head, occassionally.
---
Yoongi finds himself in all corners of the house,, but he just could not find the bathroom. Not that he needed to use it but he just wasn't particularly in the mood for all of Hoseok's flirting. Not after they kissed.
He sighs as he stood near the table packed with drinks. Seeing as his mouth was a little dry, so he tries to throw himself a cup of drink, but he hears an unfamiliar voice.
Dari
Dari
You seem bothered, Is everything okay?
She was so calm, but Yoongi was so confused. Why was she talking to him?
Yoongi
Yoongi
Yeah… I just..., yeah.
He says, nervously. Avoiding eye contact.
Dari
Dari
Do you want to taste this? It's from Seoul. They say it's called alcohol.
She raises a bottle, shaking it and Yoongi watches as the brown liquid jumps around in the bottle. He heard his dad talk about alcohol, but it was always too expensive for him to ever actually buy it.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I... sure.
He says, maybe he could bring some for his dad.
Dari
Dari
You don't speak much.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I'm sorry, I get shy around strangers.
He smiles kindly, as she threw some of the alcohol into his cup.
Dari
Dari
Let's change that then.
She stretches her hand out for him to shake, and Yoongi shakes her hand, awkwardly.
Dari
Dari
I'm Jung Dari.
Dari
Dari
You?
Yoongi
Yoongi
Oh, Min Yoongi.
Dari
Dari
You're really tiny, i find it cute
He looks down a bit, he was almost sure that they were on the same height, but he was a man, he's supposed to be taller.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I... I've been trying to grow but, it's out of my hands.
Dari
Dari
You don't need to grow any taller, you should accept yourself for who you are.
He looks at her for the first time that night, and he smiles, it was nice hearing that, especially from a woman, but she was probably just being nice.
Dari
Dari
Anyway, drink up.
Yoongi does as he's told, and he chokes a little, face mimicking disgust. It was bitter and strong. He'd never had anything like that.
Yoongi
Yoongi
It... The taste is rather peculiar.
She laughs, nodding at his sentiment.
Dari
Dari
Yeah, I thought it would be better than this.
Dari
Dari
So what school do you go to?
Yoongi
Yoongi
I... I can't afford to go to school, so I just do housework.
She looks at him saddened, she pouts a little before she shifts.
Dari
Dari
I'm sorry about that. Sometimes I forget how privileged I am.
Yoongi
Yoongi
It's fine.
Dari
Dari
Do you like the housework.
Yoongi
Yoongi
No.
He says, laughing awkwardly before he takes s large gulp from his cup, and he closes his eyes at the taste. He couldn't tell her that he did like doing chores, that he found peace when he did. A man doesn't do housework much less like doing them.
Dari
Dari
Are you lying to me?
He opens his mouth, feeling awful for lying, he thought it would be pretty easy to believe him, but he never was a great liar. He was almost sure he completely ruined whatever this was with her,
Yoongi
Yoongi
I... I apologize. I just... I am aware that I'm a man but yes, I do enjoy doing work around the house. It's a time when i can just take time to myself to just think for a bit.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Doing chores calm me.
He felt pathetic, so he sips at his drink again. The more he drank, the less bitter it was.
Dari
Dari
I think gender shouldn't stop a person from doing anything.
Yoongi
Yoongi
My parents would catch a stroke if you ever said that to them.
Dari
Dari
Mine too.
Dari
Dari
Do you want some more?
Yoongi
Yoongi
Yeah.
He says, oddly he felt more comfortable because of it. Was this normal?
Dari
Dari
You intrigue me, Yoongi.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Why?
Dari
Dari
I don't know. You're... different.
He raises an eyebrow at that, but he could tell she didn't mean it in a malicious way.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I... thank you.
Dari
Dari
You're really cute too.
Yoongi takes another big gulp of his drink, before he looks at her. She was gorgeous, way out of his league so to say he was shocked when the next question pops out of her mouth.
Dari
Dari
Do you want to maybe get out of here?
Yoongi
Yoongi
I... Now? But I-
He came with Hoseok, could he really just leave him like that?
He's sure Hoseok could find his way home on his own, right?
Yoongi
Yoongi
Okay.
----
[Hours Later]
Namjoon looks around, everyone was gone by this time, it was past midnight, so it wasn't so surprising. Everyone except Taehyung was gone. Hoseok, and Jimin were nowhere to be seen and he'd been to their home, so he couldn't even try to take the other home.
He snaps out his thoughts when he feels Taehyung starting to squeeze his arms, giggling more than he needed to.
Taehyung
Taehyung
You're so muscular. I could... I could never...
Namjoon
Namjoon
You barely finished the cup and here you are so drunk.
Taehyung
Taehyung
I'm not... not drunk.
He shakes his head, eyes struggling to stay open, and he places a slender finger over Namjoon's plumper lips.
Taehyung
Taehyung
I just... I... I'm not drunk.
Namjoon
Namjoon
Jimin and Hoseok seemed made their departure a while ago so I... I will let you sleep in my bed, and I shall take the floor.
Taehyung's eyes finally snap open, in confusion. He was so animated compared to when he was just his usual self.
Taehyung
Taehyung
No. You... You can't sleep on the floor, Namjoon. The bugs will eat you alive, and then I'll be the one to be blamed. I...
Taehyung
Taehyung
I don't want you to get swallowed up by bugs.
He says, taking Namjoon's hands in his own, a shadowy pout on his lips.
Namjoon
Namjoon
What would you suggest then?
Taehyung
Taehyung
We shall sleep together
Taehyung
Taehyung
and put pillows in between us
Namjoon shakes his head before he ultimately agrees.
Namjoon
Namjoon
I... fine.
Namjoon
Namjoon
Let's go.
He pulls Taehyung out of the chair before he guides him up the staircase and towards his bedroom. He watches keenly as Taehyung admired his room. He was utterly in awe. So much so that it took Namjoon about 20 minutes to finally get him to lay down on the bed without getting up.
Namjoon turns the lights off before he makes his way onto his bed, behind the pillow wall he had out between him a Taehyung, and it was just a waste of time as not even a minute later, Taehyung just completely destroys the make-shift wall and he laughs mischievously.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Namjoon?
Namjoon
Namjoon
Yeah.
Namjoon turns onto his side, facing Taehyung, who was still throwing pillows away from between them.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Why live in this massive house alone? Do you not get lonely?
Namjoon
Namjoon
I do not live alone, Taehyung.
Taehyung
Taehyung
But... there is no one else here?
Namjoon
Namjoon
Not at the moment, my parents travel back on forth.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Why did they not come to see you? Today is your birthday, they should be here to support you.
Namjoon
Namjoon
The work that they do is really important, they sell the finest wine in all of Korea. Even people from other countries are desperate to try it, so it is important that they present it in person.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Their wine is more important than you?
Namjoon gulps, hearing that hurt, even though he knew that was not Taehyung's intention.
Namjoon
Namjoon
You should sleep.
Taehyung
Taehyung
I cannot sleep
He laments, and he laughs, still clearly in his drunken state.
Namjoon
Namjoon
Why?
Taehyung
Taehyung
I... I keep playing scenarios in my mind.
Taehyung
Taehyung
I always do it but I... it's different right now.
Namjoon
Namjoon
Different.
Namjoon
Namjoon
how?
Taehyung
Taehyung
Usually, I play scenarios in my mind when I close my eyes, where I'm being fun, doing things i'd never actually do in real life and usually only my family are who I picture spending my time with but...
Taehyung
Taehyung
But I closed my eyes just now and the face was you.
Taehyung laughs hysterically.
Taehyung
Taehyung
You were the only person I saw. That is peculiar.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Utterly so.
He laughs again, and Namjoon stares at him in the dark. They were pretty close.
Namjoon eyes watch as Taehyung lifts his hand, and he rests it on Namjoon's face, caressing it a little, and he uses his fingers to trace little lines around the other's face and it's weird. Namjoon thinks so but it made him feel good. He feels as Taehyung drags his finger down his nose, down to his lips and he stops at his lips, dragging his thumb over it, left then right. Then right and left. He was slowly falling asleep just like that, but he's shocked awake when he feels Taehyung's lips touch his.
Just briefly, for the first time, before he leans closer Kissing Namjoon again but Namjoon pushes him away, a bit harshly before he sits him, breathing heavily.
Taehyung turns onto his back, rubbing his hands over his face, and he laughs. Shaking his head before he turns onto his side again. Seemingly going to sleep, while Namjoon just kneeled close to him in confusion.
