Jungkook sighs after ordering another drink and turning to face the crowded dance floor.

They'd only been there for a little while and he was already starting to get bored, he much rather be home cuddling with Taehyung.

He turns back around as the bartender places his drink in front of him.

He downs the bitter contents of his glass with a frown before pulling his phone out to text Taehyung.

"Fancy seeing you here, Mr. President."

Jungkook looks up from his phone and turns to the voice.

"Oh, Haeun-noona." He says when he sees the woman.

"We really have to stop running into each other like this." She laughs tucking her freshly curled hair behind her ear.

Jungkook can't help but to glance over her and take in her appearance, she was dressed in a short eccentric dress matched with a pair of tall heels that complimented her legs.

"You look nice." He says with a smile as she sits on the stool next to him.

"You do too, birthday boy." Haeun says hitting his shoulder playfully.

Jungkook rolls his eyes before changing the subject. "What brings you here, Noona?"

"Oh, I'm here with some friends. They're really into clubbing and  wanted me to try so, here I am." She says.

"Are you having a good time?" He asks trying to keep the conversation going.

"Honestly, not really. I have so much work to do back at home and I really rather be there." Haeun chuckles. "What about you? Are you having a good time?"

Jungkook nods. "I guess so."

Haeun nods as well. "That's good. Wait, is Taehyung here? You should introduce us!"

"Yeah, he didn't come tonight." Jungkook says with a sad smile.

"Aw, that's too bad." Haeun says with a small pout. "Well, since we ran into each other I might as well go ahead and buy you a drink."

"Noona~"

"I know I don't have to, but I want to. Pick whichever one you want." She says looking up at the menu of drinks.

"I'm not really a drinker so, you pick for me." Jungkook says giving in and letting her buy the drink.

Haeun hums looking at the menu. "I'm not really a drinker either. Um, excuse me?"

The bartender turns to them with a smile. "Can I help you?"

"Yes, what's your most popular menu item?" Haeun asks with a smile.

"Hm..." the bartender looks up in thought. "A lot of people go for the Long Island, but I can hook you up an Old Fashion if you want it to hit hard."

"I'll take the Long Island, he'll have the Old Fashion." Haeun says making Jungkook raise an eyebrow.

"I don't want to get too carried away, Noona." He says trying to still be polite since she was the one paying.

"You won't, Jungkook. It'll just loosen you up a little, yeah?" Haeun says as the bartender goes to makes the drinks.

"Okay, thanks." He says with a smile. "I guess I am being kind of a buzz kill to my friends."

"It's okay, I don't really like this whole going out thing either." Haeun says. "It's good to get away from work and things like that though."

"Yeah." Jungkook says, any thoughts of that stupid company makes his mood drop instantly.

"What's wrong?" Haeun asks with a sympathetic look.

"Nothing." He says forcing a smile as the bartender sets their drinks in front of them. "Thank you."

"No problem guys, enjoy." He says before leaving them.

"Here we are." Haeun sing songs taking her drink in her hand. "Let's toast shall we?"

Jungkook picks up his drink just as his phone rings cutting them off. "Oh, hang on I'm gonna take this real quick. Be back in a flash."

"Take your time." She says with a smile as Jungkook stands and walks towards the front door.

Jungkook steps out the door, the sound of the music fading as he answers Hoseok's call. "Hey, Hobi? Where are you?"

"Hey, Kooks. I couldn't find you so I called. Where are you?" Hobi says loudly through the other line.

"I'm just having a drink with a friend." He responds.

"Oh, okay! Just making sure you didn't ditch us!" Hoseok laughs, obviously a little tipsy.

"No, I'm still here. I'll catch up with you guys in a little bit." Jungkook chuckles before ending the call and returning to Haeun who sits nodding her head to the music. "Sorry about that, my friend thought I ditched him."

Haeun laughs. "That's okay, shall we now?"

Jungkook nods picking up up drink and holding up after Haeun.

"Happy Birthday, Jungkookie!" Haeun exclaims excitedly as they clink heir glasses.

Jungkook laughs turning away as he takes a drink from his cup, the alcohol is disgusting but he forces it down before turning back to Haeun. "Thank you, Haeun-noona."

"You're welcome! Now let's go dance, yeah?" She asks hopping up and grabbing Jungkook by the wrist.

Jungkook stands, swaying as the alcohol rushes to his head.

After that the night just seems to be a blur before everything around him fades into nothingness.

—

Taehyung wakes up the next morning expecting Jungkook to be next to him, but much to his disappointment he isn't.

Taehyung figured he ended up having a better time than he expected last night to so he wasn't too worried when he didn't come home after a few hours.

But now it's morning time and he hadn't received so much as a text saying he was alright.

Taehyung tried to be understanding, maybe Jungnkook had drunk a little too much and wasn't thinking about texting him to tell him he was alright.

Which was fine with Taehyung, he wanted Jungkook to go have a good time and get his mind off of everything that's been happening but he couldn't help but to worry.

He is tempted to text Hoseok but he's sure he's probably just as hungover as the rest of the guys that went out.

He pushes the worry away and gets up to make breakfast for when Jungkook does return, it was his birthday after all.

Taehyung takes his time preparing breakfast, nearly taking two hours, but still there's no sign of Jungkook.

It's almost noon now so maybe he's on his way, Taehyung thought.

Despite trying to talk himself out of it he texts Hobi and hopes for a response.

Ttttae: hey hobi,,,is jungkook with you?

Taehyung is surprised when Hobi immediately texts back, but the message just makes his worry spike more.

Hosioooke: hey taetae! um,,,, i haven't seen jungkook since last night~ he said he was with a friend i figured he left after speaking to him. should i call him?

Taehyung sighs texting Hobi not to worry about it even though worry was starting to eat him alive.

Where the hell could he be?
