The members were done with their schedules for the week and were excited to spend the weekend off work. Most days off they spent their time together, but this weekend many of the members had made outside plans for the first time in quite a while. The only ones left with nothing to do and nowhere to go for the night were Taehyung and Hobi.

Once 5 o'clock hit, Taehyung and Hobi were the only two left home. The members said they'd all be home at some point later but none of them quite knew when. The dance leader and second maknae were excited to hang out together, the two of them always had fun. The night started with them cooking some meals together and then playing outside. They also watched some TV together. Taehyung asked Hobi if he'd like to have some drinks with him and Hobi excitedly agreed. Taehyung poured himself a beverage but ran out of the bottle, so he grabbed another random bottle off the shelf and poured a glass for Hobi.

They were social drinkers and although Taehyung had a pretty high tolerance, he quickly realized that Hobi was a bit more out of it than usual. He picked up the bottle Hobi was drinking from, as Hobi had downed quite a few glasses saying it tasted kind of strong but really good. Taehyung felt a tinge of panic when he realized the alcohol content of the drink. It was Yoongi's bottle, and he knew Hobi had absolutely no tolerance for Yoongi's drinks.

Oh no.

Hobi was laughing hysterically at the TV over something that wasn't even funny, Taehyung took the glass from his hand, "Alright hyung I think maybe that's enough for you tonight, yeah?"

Hobi pouted, "Why?" His eyes were already glossy and his words were a bit slurred. Taehyung decided to not drink the rest of the night either.

"I just think you've had a bit too much," Taehyung got up to put the bottle away and when he returned, Hobi was missing.

"Hobi hyung?" Taehyung asked looking around. He stood silent for a moment until he heard water running in the bathroom. He ran to the bathroom to find Hobi had clogged the sink, let it fill with water, and was holding his head under it. He grabbed his hyungs shoulders and pulled him back. The rapper was soaking wet.

"Hyung what the hell are you doing?!"

"Ahh Taehyung-ahhh it was getting a bit hot."

"That doesn't mean drown yourself in the sink!"

"Oh nahhh, look," Hobi went back to the sink and sunk his head back into the water. Taehyung immediately undid the clog and pulled his hyung back up, "What did I just say?! If you're too hot then I can get you ice packs. Stay out of water!" Taehyung was frustrated. It wasn't often he had to take care of any of his hyungs. They were always the more mature ones, although he had nobody to really blame but himself, he was the one who accidentally gave Hobi the wrong drink.

He wrapped his arms around his hyung and guided him back to the living room and gestured for him to lay on the couch.

"Stay right here and I will get you some ice packs, okay?" Taehyung slowly backed his way into the kitchen and searched through the freezer for ice packs. When he made his way back into the living room, he stood in a panic when Hobi was missing again.

Now what?!?!

His first instinct was to run to the bathroom to make sure his hyung wasn't drowning himself in the sink again. He felt even more scared when not only did he not find him in the bathroom, but he couldn't find him inside the house at all. Which only meant one thing. He's outside. On the deck. And our dorm is 13 stories up. No no no!

He ran down the hallway and opened the door to their outside deck to find his hyung standing on the ledge and using it a balance beam.

"Oh my God! Hyung! Get down!" Taehyung was unsure of what to do. He didn't want to startle his hyung by running out and grabbing him but didn't want to stand there and do nothing either. He slowly started walking towards Hobi who had his arms out to balance himself. The only source of light came from the streetlights and cars below and the lights from the house. Taehyung fought back tears as he stretched his arms out, "Hobi hyung...please....get down...you'll kill yourself if you fall.."

"You worry too much! Look Tae, I can fly!" Hobi shouted as he continued to walk. Taehyung had no idea how this completely wasted Hobi wasn't falling off the beam.

"Hobi hyung....are you crazy?! If you fall off that you're going to be killed! You can't fly!"

Hobi's foot slipped but he caught himself, "Woah did you see that?! Did you see my reflexes there?!"

Taehyung took a deep breath and decided not to waste more time. He ran at his hyung and grabbed his arm, yanking him down which sent them both barreling to the ground. Taehyung wrapped Hobi in a tight hug and began to cry.

"What's wrong?" Hobi asked, finally showing concern.

Taehyung started screaming at his hyung, "You could have just died! Stop being an idiot! Why didn't you just listen when I told you not to get off the couch?! Hyung if I hadn't found you you could have fallen off and I wouldn't have been able to save you!"

Hobi hugged him back tighter. He didn't quite understand why his dongsaeng was so emotional and upset. He figured it must have been the alcohol, "TaeTae, I think you may have had too much to drink."

Taehyung angrily stood up and grabbed Hobi, pulling him up with him. He dragged him back inside, making sure to lock the door to outside behind him. He dragged his hyung all around the house as he went around and locked all the doors. He figured his hyung was too drunk to really figure out how to unlock them at the moment. While walking back to the living room, Hobi stumbled to the floor and ended up scraping his arm against one of the heaters.

"Aish," Hobi pouted. Taehyung told him he'd take care of it as he guided his hyung to his bed instead.

"I'm going to get bandaids, please hyung just stay here. Please?" Taehyung begged. He was desperate for his hyung to listen to him. Hobi nodded and promised he wouldn't move. Taehyung frantically ran out and looked for band aids while also going to the fridge to grab water for his hyung. When he entered back into Hobi's room, his hyung was missing once again. Taehyung in his frustration threw the bandaids and water bottle into the air and started pulling his hair.

"Ugh!!!" Taehyung shouted, "Hobi hyung!?!?" He yelled as he turned back out of the room. He started searching again and found Hobi in the laundry room with red liquid spilling out of his mouth.

"What the hell happened?! Is that blood?!" Taehyung ran to him and grabbed his arm.

"These don't taste very good. I got hungry. What kind of snack is this? Is this one of Jungkook's weird diet snacks?" Hobi help up a container.

A container of tide pods. Taehyung immediately realized what red liquid was pouring out of Hobi's mouth. He pried his hyungs mouth open and found the plastic outlining to the tide pod tucked behind some of his hyungs teeth. He pulled it out.

"Why would you eat these?!" Taehyung screamed at him. He was panicking a lot more now. Did Hobi just poison himself? He wasn't sure.

"I was hungry."

"These aren't food hyung!! Look around, do you realize what room you're in?!"

Hobi looked around and realized, "Why are we in the laundry room?"

"You thought it was the pantry or something!! Hyung how many of these did you eat?! These are toxic, these could kill you!!" Taehyung took the tide pod container and frantically looked for the poison control number on it. Hobi was holding another one in his hand, "Oh, oops. I don't know. Just one I think. No wonder they tasted so bad. HA I'm an idiot!" Hobi chuckled. He wasn't concerned. He just felt quite dumb for mistaking them for food and thinking their laundry room was their pantry. Taehyung dragged Hobi into the bathroom while he was on the phone with poison control. They told him as long as he had only had one he should be okay but to rinse his mouth out with water for 15 minutes.

Taehyung turned the sink on and told Hobi to rinse his mouth out, but his hyung kept sticking his face under the faucet instead.

"Jung Hoseok!" Taehyung screamed, "Stop it! Rinse your damn mouth out before I have to do it for you!" Hobi looked at Taehyung and saw him teary eyed again. He felt a bit bad, it wasn't like Taehyung to scream at him, ever. He finally rinsed his mouth out the right way for the 15 minutes and said he was fine afterwards. While in the bathroom, Taehyung found more bandaids and cleaned the cut on his hyungs arm.

"I don't think I ever want to drink with you again," Taehyung admitted as he was bandaging up his hyung.

"Why not? Aren't you having fun?"

Taehyung gave him a stern look. He was having anything but fun.

"Tae we drink together all the time. No harm done!"

"A lot of harm done. I've had to chase you around all night making sure you don't get hurt. I'm exhausted hyung," Taehyung began to sulk. He had a bit to drink too, he knew he wasn't entirely all that sober either and all this chasing his hyung around was making him cranky and exhausted. On a typical night, he'd just go to bed. He couldn't do that right now. He couldn't just leave his hyung unattended. He thought about asking one of the members to come home early, but he felt even worse thinking about ruining their plans too. He'd just have to deal with his hyung on his own for now and hope he didn't mess up and find Hobi dead somehow.

"Well you don't have to watch me you know. I swear I'm fine," Hobi smiled reassuringly. Taehyung rolled his eyes. Hobi was not fine and he was going to continue to watch him. He'll have to sober up eventually, right?

"Can you please just lay down for the night?" Taehyung asked.

"I'm still hungry."

Taehyung suggested they could go to the kitchen, together, and find something to eat. He held Hobi's hand and led him to their fridge, "Pick whatever. We have a ton of leftovers." Taehyung let Hobi browse through the fridge while he looked through their pantry. Looking for any kind of food that could sober his hyung up a bit more quickly. When he found some boxes of pasta he could make, he closed the pantry door to find Hobi was holding a knife.

"What...what are you doing?" Taehyung's heart froze. The last thing he needed was a drunk Hobi, holding a knife. Not only could his hyung accidentally kill himself with that, but he could also accidentally kill him with that.

"I wanted to cut up fruit," Hobi grabbed a watermelon.

"Yeah right! If you want watermelon then I will cut it! Put that knife down hyung!" Taehyung demanded. Hobi started flailing the knife in the air, "Why? I can cut it!" Hobi smiled ,"You're a bit drunk Tae. Go lay down and let hyung cut you up some fruit, yeah?"

"Me?! I'm drunk?! Hyung you're beyond drunk! Put the knife down!" Taehyung stepped forward to grab it but Hobi backed up. The two ended up fighting over it.

"Give it to me!"

"Taehyung stop trying to take it before you get hurt!" Hobi yelled.

"Then you put it down before you get hurt!"

"I won't get hurt I know how to cut a watermelon!" Hobi started laughing. Taehyung was exhausted and took a step back. He was trying not to burst into tears. Hobi wasn't acting like himself at all. Not even his drunk self. He wanted his Hobi hyung back. His smart, polite, safe, Hobi hyung.

Hobi stared at him and saw him pouting, "Fine. Here, take the knife." As Taehyung went to reach for it, Hobi grabbed it back, "Syke!" and began running away with it.

"Hyung stop!" Taehyung started chasing him, "You're going to stab yourself! Stop running with the knife! I won't take it from you but please don't run with it you're going to get hurt!"

Hobi ran into his room and locked the door behind him. Taehyung started banging on it, "Hyung please! Open the freakin door! Or just put the knife down before you cut yourself!" He listened but inside his hyung's room was nothing but silence.

Taehyung wiggled the door handle and kept knocking, "Hyung?"

"Hobi hyung?"

He kept knocking.

"Hello?"

Silence.

"Hobi?!" Taehyung was panicking. Did he stab himself?!

"Hyung you're scaring me please open the door!"

Finally, the door unlocked and Hobi opened it. Hobi was crying. Taehyung barged in and started inspecting Hobi's entire body, "What's wrong? Did you cut yourself? Where? Is it bad?"

Hobi stood silent for a second, before bursting out into loud laughter.

"Hyung what.."

"Got you! I swear it's too easy!!!" Hobi laughed and finally handed Taehyung the knife, "Cut us up some watermelon now, yeah?" He walked past Taehyung out of his room.

Taehyung wanted to scream but suppressed it. He followed Hobi back into the living room. When Hobi turned around, his dongsaeng was crying quite a bit.

"What's wrong?" Hobi asked concerned.

"Forget it," Taehyung said as he angrily stomped past Hobi and into the kitchen to cut up the watermelon. Hobi followed Taehyung into the kitchen, "What's wrong?" He asked again. He was starting to get tired too and was becoming a bit more aware of how upset Taehyung was.

Taehyung used his shirt sleeve to wipe his tears, "I said forget it. It's not like it matters. You won't listen to me anyway."

Hobi pouted and made his way back to the couch to lay down. He slowly started to realize how he had acted although he wasn't quite remembering all of it. He fell asleep staring at the TV.

Taehyung walked in with the plate of watermelon and sighed. He was still upset but at least his hyung was sleeping now. He grabbed a seat next to Hobi on the couch and began eating. After about another two hours, Hobi woke back up from his comatose state. Taehyung was exhausted but he was still too afraid to sleep. Hobi sat up and grabbed his head complaining of a small headache.

"Yeah well, being drunk will do that," Taehyung spat. He looked at his hyung and could see his eyes were a lot clearer now.

"I think I slept most of it off, honestly. But damn my head. What the hell did I drink?" Hobi asked. Taehyung showed Hobi what he drank.

"What?! Taehyung why'd you give me that?! That was Yoongi's!"

"It was an accident. Trust me I've learned my lesson."

"I was that bad?"

Taehyung sat back down next to his hyung and felt his eyes sting with tears, "Yes." Hobi felt guilt wash over him. He pulled Taehyung back against him on the couch into a back hug, "I'm really sorry." Taehyung shrugged and rested his head on Hobi's chest. He offered him the watermelon he didn't finish yet and they both shared it while watching a movie. They were both exhausted, but the buzz was gone.

Hobi turned to Taehyung, "I think we should ask Yoongi hyung to maybe lock his drinks up. You know...so we don't make that same mistake twice."

Taehyung curled up closer to his hyung,

"That's the best idea you've had all night."

-Fin.
