"Come on! Pleaaaasseee."

For the past 10 minutes Soomin had been begging me to go drink with her friends again this weekend. I can't lie, I really wanted to...

"I have to study, I can't."

"You can study any other day, it's only Friday once a week."

"And the next Friday is only seven days away."

"But this exact Friday screams 'Haru go out and drink with your best friend and make some new friends'."

"What, really? Cause all I can hear is you acting like your name is Friday. Oh, and the library and my bad grades are screaming for me to study too." I smiled at her, beginning to pack up my lunch again.

"It doesn't hurt having fun once in a while..." She mumbled poutingly.

"Unnie, I was drinking with you and your friends last Friday too."

"It doesn't hurt having fun once in a week..." She mumbled again, still with pouted lips.

"I'm sorry, but no." I got up from my chair, "Well I'm not really sorry, but it's still a no."

"You're boring." She scoffed.

"My mom is gonna flip on me if I come home in the middle of the night drunk again. I think I have to be nice for a while, to ease her up and make her trust me again. I don't like that she's annoyed all the time."

"Sounds like a 'Haru's mom's problem'." She breathed out.

"Well, as I am Haru, it kinda sounds like my problem too." I turned around and left the table, heading to class.

"Wait for me you idiot!" She called after me and I sped up my pace.

I was really tempted to go... My parents made me feel like I needed a bit of alcohol to feel free... on the other side, it would just cause further arguments between my mom and I. And I didn't want that.

Well, guess where I ended up...

"Haru, truth or dare?" A girl named Neha asked.

Yup, correct. I joined Soomin and her friends.

She was just hella good at convincing and I was hella bad at rejecting.

"Dare."

I'm not boring

"I dare you to give me your number." The guy across from me said, apparently his name was... Jaehan? Or was it Jaehoon? I don't exactly remember... He was a new one. I hadn't been with Soomin and her friends a lot of times, but enough to know he was new.

"I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend." I smiled politely.

"You have a boyfriend?? Girl spill, why haven't you told me?" Neha almost screamed from her seat.

Maybe because it's private and I've only met you like 3 times?

Neha was a fun and sweet girl though. However, I've always been introverted and shy and I hadn't really talked to any of them.

I laughed it off, which surprisingly was quite easy as her attention quickly switched to someone chucking a beer.

Jaehan, Jaehoon, Jaewhatever turned to me again, "Well if you won't do the dare, it's three shots."

I scoffed, but did my punishment.

"Ya, you agreed to go out, quit the attitude." Soomin nudged me.

"What attitude?"

She handed me yet another shot of soju, shutting me up, "We'll take one together." She smiled.

"I just took three!"

"So what? Didn't you want to let go and feel free tonight?" She said.

As mentioned. Good at convincing, bad at rejecting.

A dangerous combination...

"Cheers!" We both yelled, crossed our arms and downed the shot.

A few shots, truths and dares later, my phone buzzed from my purse. Jimin's name popped up on my screen and I got up from my spot.

As I stood up, I coughed a bit to get people's attention, "I'm just gonna head out, my boyfriend is calling." I drunkly bragged, showing them my buzzing phone.

The other's turned back to their game, they couldn't care less.

I went outside the bar and picked up.

"Hi boyfriend~"

"Haru, Are you drunk?"

"No... maybe a little."

"I see." He chuckled into the phone.

"Anyway, got a moment? Cause I got good news for you."

"I'm outside."

"Hmm, maybe I should wait to tell you... I don't know if you'll remember by tomorrow."

"Jimiiin~ Tell me!" I whined.

"Are you doing anything tomorrow afternoon?"

"Jiminah tell me the goood newsss."

"You need to answer my question first, Princess."

"What question?"

"Are you free tomorrow?"

"Yes, for you always."

"What about for the boys?"

"For the boys?"

"FOR THE BOYS???"

"OH MY GOD JIMIN PLEASE TELL ME-"

"Yes." He chuckled, "You can come watch us practice tomorrow. But I don't know-"

"WAA JIMIN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!" I screamed into the phone, people passing by eyeing me.

"I know." I could hear his laugh through the phone.

"Wait, what don't you know...?"

"I was about to say that I don't know when we will finish practice... but maybe, only maybe, we can go out and eat dinner together afterwards. All eight of us. Some of the guys got really excited, hearing you'd like to see them."

"I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU." I screamed again.

"I love you too Princess. Now, stop screaming, get home safe when you get there, and not too late right? I wish I could pick you up, but I'm learning a new choreography right now. Sorry."

"No it's fine Jimin. Jaehin will get me home."

"Jaehin?? Who's Jaehin!?"

"I'm messing with you silly~ "

Jimin let out a clear sigh of relief, "Don't drink more for tonight. You clearly can't handle it, hmm?"

"Park Jimin, you know I only love you~"

"Get home safe. Goodnight Princess."

"Night my boyfriend~"

His chuckle just went through before he ended the call.

I went back inside the building and sat down next to Soomin.

I leant over to her and whispered, "I'm seeing the boys tomorrow."

"WHAT REALLY?? Finally you get to see BTS again!!" She said aloud.

I was drunk, but still managed to pull through with a little bit of responsibility, "Unnie, not here. Shhhh." I laughed and nudged her.

"Right, shhh." Soomin whispered back.

"Did anyone say BTS? I went to their concert a few years ago." Neha bragged, nose pointing at the sky.

"Wow, you're so lucky!" Soomin said and looked at me and we both tried holding back our laughter.

"Oh how I wish I was you." I said, making both me and Soomin burst into laughter. Soomin started hitting the table, not able to breathe.

Neha obliviously crossed her arms, fluttering her eyelids feeling proud, "I know right."

And then she started telling us all about her concert experience.
