Drunk Kisses 

"Aish, finally the exams are over." Ara stretched her back and leaned over Daehye who had her chin on the table. "I still have one left and I'll have to go for it in almost ten, well how was your exam?" Daehye said tiredly while looking at her wrist watch.

"I bombed every single one of them. How was yours?" Ara asked her and she just shrugged. "Just fine."

"Yeah you give that reaction and then you'll occupy one of the top three ranks like nothing happened." Ara gave Daehye a slight smack and started packing her belongings in a bag. "So I'll see you around 5?" Daehye asked her sister and looked up when she stood from her seat.

"Yeah I'll text you." Ara smiled and gave her a farewell hug while she just sat and waited for one of the invigilators to enter the class and be done with the one last exam.

By the time she was done with her exam she unlocked her phone and saw a few texts from Ara-

Tae's bitch: please bring some kimbap, cheese tteokbokki, black noodles along with some sushi. I put some money in your bag just in case and come with them to this location.

Daehye opened her bag and some extra money was indeed left in her wallet, that must've been when she was having a nap. Kinda puzzled, she picked up her bag and started walking towards the restaurant line located just by the corner of university. After a long exhausting walk in the hot weather she walked back to the university area to her car and set the location. Turns out it was located in Seoul's downtown and the traffic really wasn't helping but after so much of draining out she finally reached.

"I have a strong feeling that this belongs to Ara, like how can someone be so filthy rich?" Daehye talked to herself when she picked up the packages of food from the backseat and stared awestruck at the modern highrise building. Well no doubt Daehye herself had a strong background but her parents never failed to pour out humbleness in her, same with Ara. Whilst getting in the building she got into the elevator and pressed the thirtieth floor while staring at her phone screen.

"Wow like Ara-" she saw her best friend standing in front of her when the elevator opened. "It's a penthouse, it has a whole fucked up personal swimming pool and the grey wallpaper and it has two living spaces? Ara this is my dream house." Daehye handed her the bags and her eyes got filled with brimming excitement. Inhaling the sweet scent floating through the air and registering herself with the evening view, the sunset and how it reflected the glass panes of the downtown skyscrapers.

"Wow you have a whole picture of them." Daehye said as she turned her head towards the wall beside the kitchen, it had a big frame and inside was a picture of BTS. walls were occasionally covered with pictures of the bandmates. "I didn't know you liked Jimin that much- I mean he appears to be much more than Taehyung even." she continued. Ara opened her mouth to say something but decided to play the game when Taehyung came from the kitchen.

"Yeah but have you seen the master bedroom? Its' majestic I swear." a deeper voice dragged Daehye's attention and she saw Taehyung dressed in sweatpants and a celine t-shirt. "Ahh hello Taehyung o-oppa." She did a ninety degree bow and stuttered with the word 'oppa' as she was doubtful if he would allow her to call him informally.

"Come on, I'll show it to you." Taehyung dragged Daehye by her arm and took her to the closest room. It had a king sized bed, a flat screen of TV probably 85 inches in front, large cream colored curtains and so many things more which left her even more awestruck. "It indeed is majestic." she smiled at Taehyung, thinking of how great it would be to buy the house of her dreams after working so hard.

"Taehyung we should show her the washroom too, afterall Daehye likes aesthetic properties." Ara came from behind and leaned on the door frame. "I won't be surprised if it has all kinds of essential oils and a big ass jacuzzi with a TV in the front." Daehye walked towards the gate and reached for the door knob but what surprised her was the fact when the door opened from inside. A hint of steam surrounding her.

"Aish fuck-" and there stood Jimin, a towel on his waist, hair pulled back and his whole upper body covered with water droplets, tattoos exposed and the muscles- so toned and rigged and his biceps- forget exposed forehead it was whole godly upper body exposed after the 2014 MMAs.

Fuck god save me I can't handle too much of hotness all at once.

Daehye's cheeks and back of the ears now resembled cherry red color, she was having chills run down her spine at reasonably ninety-five degrees. His eyes stared at her filled with wilderness and a smirk came onto his lips.

"Uh- I-" she stuttered and rubbed her nape. "I w-was just to give you the supplies I'm gonna stop third- I mean forth wheeling you guys." What the hell did I say? Was all Daehye could think of when she exited the room with her fast paced steps. She picked up her car keys in order to prevent the tension which roze and ran towards the elevator and pressed the button as fast as she could. "Kim Ara and Taehyung I fucking hate you guys." she cursed under her breath.

When the doors opened she moved forward but clashed into a muscular chest. "Daehye!" a pair of arms surrounded her. "Jungkook oppa, what a surprise." She tried to forget the recent accident and greeted the elder male as nicely as she could. He freed her from his grip and gave her space to look at the other man standing beside them.

Cat-like eyes looked at them wearing a straight face and black apparel. "Is that Min Yoongi?" she asked Jungkook as she went closer to his ear. "Last I checked yes, wait is he not-"

"Hello I'm Min Daehye. It's a pleasure meeting you." She went further than ninety degree this time with her bow and held her hand in mid-air before the other shook it. "Oh, we share the same surname." the man smiled and suddenly Daehye felt too much nervousness. "Yes Min Yoongi ssi." she lightly took her hand back.

"Where were you off too in such a hurry?" Jungkook asked her when Yoongi took the bags from him and left towards the living area. "Nothing oppa it was just-" she got interrupted mid sentence when a voice interrupted them.

"You were leaving?" Jimin grabbed the attention and she just turned to him, "no you wanna give me some more second hand embarrassment?" Daehye sarcastically asked and Jungkook laughed at her words.

"Darling that was you blushing intensely at the sight in front of you not embarrassment," Jimin whispered in her ear and inhaled the faint smell left by her shampoo on her hair. "What is going on between you guys?" Jungkook asked, wearing a smug on his face, clearly hearing all the words Jimin said.

"Nothing, I just try to prevent all the Jiminiest things he says." She grabbed Jungkook's arm and dragged him towards the dining area where everything which was packed was now getting served, Yoongi and Taehyung already set to eat whatever was on the table. She asked Yoongi if she could sit beside him and he said it was nothing to be asked about, as for Jungkook he sat beside Daehye and the other three sat facing them.

"So how do you like my penthouse?" Jimin kept his chin on his hand and looked at her. "It's aesthetic no doubt." she said while taking a plate from the center. It was meant to be aesthetic for her, who wouldn't prefer to live fancy and on the money they made themselves?

"I know, it matches the elite class I set for myself." Jimin roze his hand as if he was trying to show his standard. "You think you're an elite?" Daehye muttered under her breath, her words very audible to the men beside her and without a further ado they almost choked on whatever was in their mouths.

"Nice one." Yoongi showed his palm under the table and she clapped on it, wearing a smug smile as if she passed his vibe check. Maybe Min Yoongi would've remembered me if I didn't wear my black mask during the muster. Daehye was back then conscious of her looks when she attended her first muster ever along with one and only Ara after coming to Korea but rather than cursing her past self she just tried not to freak out.

"These guys look like siblings." Taehyung said while he scanned the people in front of him. Jungkook looked at himself then at Daehye and then at his Yoongi hyung- all dressed in black top to toe with at least one silver accessory on them. "Now that you noticed that I really think we do." Jungkook said before taking a bite of his donut. "I said that the moment I saw Dae-bae." Ara sighed and looked at Jimin who had his hand on the bowl of cheese tteokbokki.

"That's mine backoff." Jimin said to the person who has their hand at the other hand of the bowl preventing him from keeping it. "That's a false perception." Daehye eyed him from the other end. "Mine."

"No mine."

"Kids, why don't you share it?" Yoongi said while appearing highly unbothered, Daehye didn't have the audacity to share food but still at the call of an elder took split the dish. Then started the drinking of soju, consumed in small amounts is not really harmful but for someone who drinks alcohol like water then it causes slurred tongue pretty much and at the moment with Taehyung who intended to spend the night at Jimin's and for Jungkook who would get dropped by Yoongi no one was there to stop them.

With nothing else to do and with Yoongi and Daehye along with Ara looking at them they decided to repeat history "Taehyung oppa did you really kiss Hoseok ssi during that dare."

"YES! they did and I literally had to seal my virgin eyes." Jungkook yelled when a topic of certain attention grabbing interest was thrown on the table by Daehye. Yoongi eyed Ara, both had a certain mischief in their eyes.

"Why don't we do it again?" Yoongi introduced the plan, Daehye looked at him with pure adoration. "Yoongi ssi you were the one who knew the characters well am I right?" Daehye laughed at his remark and he winked at her and gave a gummy smile to which she and millions of other armies were not immune.

"Ara bring a page and a pen." Yoongi pointed at the left top drawer of the wall unit since he knew the house better than Ara and Daehye did but he was just too lazy to bring it on his own. Within a second Ara brought it and started tearing equal sizes of paper after creasing the page in squares.

"I don't wanna be a victim again." Taehyung sighed and pouted meanwhile Jungkook still had the same fangirl cute bunny smile he had ten years back. "Ara just leave four chits blank and draw something which makes no sense on two- the two chits' owners will kiss each other." Jungkook had excitement flooding his eyes while Jimin was still processing what they were up to.

"I got this oppa- okay pic one." Ara scattered the chits and everyone picked it up in a hurry. "I'm safe." Daehye laughed at the blank white paper she was holding. "Same" said Jungkook and Ara at the same time.

"Yeah me too." Yoongi sighed and it took no time for them to crack up. "Taehyung hyung and Jimin hyung will kiss." Jungkook banged the table mercilessly meanwhile Daehye almost fell down from the chair while laughing.

"Not again." Taehyung muttered and Jimin turned to his best friend. "Why- weren't you two offended when Hyun ssi didn't let your song be named 'soulmates'-" Yoongi said in disbelief and a sudden spark came to Taehyung.

"Jimin-ah let's get over this." His long fingers pulled the hem of Jimin's shirt, the other four weren't sure if it was under the influence of alcohol or they really did want to do this.

"Araseo araseo." Jimin and Taehyung stared at each other, the other four patiently waited for the two to kiss. The soulmates got closer but then they cracked up. "Wait no- let me laugh my ass off first." Jimin said and Taehyung looked at Ara. "Let me kiss you instead." Taehyung pulled her closer but then Ara got pulled back.

"No Jimin it is." Daehye said and Jimin stood up and so did Taehyung. "Hello my alien." Jimin was about to crack up at Taehyung's words but then all too suddenly his collar was pulled and Jimin tasted alcohol on Taehyung's lips. "Which lip balm do you use? How are your lips so soft?" Taehyung asked Jimin as he pulled back after five seconds.

But his question was highly inaudible due to the chaos being caused due to their actions. "Yes fuck yes- finally after all this time of shipping em together." Daehye gave Jungkook a hi5, Yoongi meanwhile jumped and Ara screamed the word 'yes' continuously.

"How would I know?" Jimin said but almost tripped if Taehyung's arms weren't around his waist. "Jimin you good?" Taehyung asked him with concern and Jimin smiled.

"Why wouldn't I be, give me one reason for not being." Jimin said with a slurry tongue but Taehyung still didn't budge to let him go. "Daehye can you just take him to his room?I'll be there in a few." Taehyung asked Daehye who was still laughing. Daehye looked at him and took his arm.

"Let's get you to sleep, pretty boy." She approached his room and put him at the bed and was about to leave when he pulled her on top of him, his lips coming in contact with her neck. She felt ticklish but didn't when a few seconds passed when he started kissing her. Out of a blur he looked at her face and swept a lone flick of hair behind her hair.

"You're beautiful." he pulled her into a kiss but after coming to a sudden realization of the fact that the door was open when his hands disappeared under her t-shirt.

"Jimin not when you're drunk." she backed away his hand and got up. "Grace, stay please." he called out, she stopped dead in her tracks when she heard him- calling her by a name which wasn't hers. She looked at him, his eyes begging her to stay, his lips weren't twisted in a smile but he looked melancholic.

She took a step forward. "Stay please Grace, don't leave please." he said again, this time his voice heavier. She turned around and went to him with heavy steps, disheartened. "Put me to sleep like you always do." Jimin asked Daehye when she sat on the edge of the bed. How would she put him to sleep when she didn't know what he was talking about?

"Like how?" she asked with a small voice, voice heavy and cracking but not because of tears but because of a certain heaviness which came back to her chest. "You forgot?" Jimin took her hand and put it on top of his head, she stared at him, when he closed his eyes and then brushed his hair.

"Like this?" she asked him again, and he smiled, half woke, half asleep. "Perfect." he hugged her waist and she was shaken.

"Thanks for putting him to sleep." Taehyung leaned on the door frame and Daehye got up and covered him with his duvet. "Anytime." a sad smile formed on her lips and she hurriedly left the room.

A lone tear left her eye but she wiped it away. She wasn't jealous, she wasn't devastated with him, she just realized that maybe all along she was just a mere reflection of someone else.
