Ten questions in, and each one of them had only drank three glasses half filled with liquor. Brooke had began to mix the cola with it since she knew she probably couldn't handle quite as much as Yoongi.
⠀
⠀

"You're not very good at coming up with questions are you?" He asked, taking a small sip of rum for the hell of it. He raised an eyebrow to Brooke who narrowed her eyes at him.
⠀
⠀

"Fine. I just wanted to warn you up," she snapped back, crossing her arms and eyeing their glasses. "Just know you haven't either. It's your turn, anyway."
⠀
⠀

Yoongi sighed heavily, leaning back and pressing his palms into the floor. "Never have I ever... got arrested before." His tongue prodded at the corner of his lips as he looked across to Brooke.
⠀
⠀

Slowly, Brooke reached down and wrapped her fingers around the glass. "Finally." She brought it to her mouth to chug down the full glass, Adam's apple bobbing as she took her time to savor the burning sensation paired with the cola.
⠀
⠀

The man across from her coughed out a chuckle, shaking his head with a low voice, "Why am I not surprised?" He laid his legs out and crossed his ankles. "What for?"
⠀
⠀

Brooke waved her glass around. "Ironically, DUI. Why do you think I have to get around on a bike?" Yoongi's lips parted as he nodded his head in realization. He went back to sitting Indian style.
⠀
⠀

"Never have I ever committed a murder," she stated. Brooke but her lip to keep back her smirk.
⠀
⠀

Yoongi looked over to Brooke from under the brim of his cap, not saying a word. A silence laid heavy all across the apartment, her eyebrows raising expectantly.
⠀
⠀

"You think I'm that dark?" He scoffed when seeing her expression. "Sick..." However, there was plenty of amusement in his voice.
⠀
⠀

"What?" Brooke squeaked, throwing her hands out to the side. "There's something fishy about you. I gotta find out once you're buzzed a little."
⠀
⠀

Yoongi just shrugged, his head then throwing back as he yawned. "Never have I ever accused someone of murder." His head rolled back to see Brooke, flipping him off before she chugged down a drink. He snorted a laugh.
⠀
⠀

"Shut the hell up," she snapped.

A half hour had passed, and now Yoongi was beginning to feel the effects of the rum. The questions continued to roll, Brooke was now five drinks down while Yoongi was six. Shakily, he brought his now drank glass down to the wood floor, wiping his mouth slowly with the back of his wrist.
⠀
⠀

Some were simple questions, such as 'never have I ever skydived', 'never have I been kicked out of a bar', and 'never have I ever pissed in public'. Either way, the questions were enough to begin getting them wasted.
⠀
⠀

Brooke's drunk persona had began to come out, seeming to giggle at everything Yoongi was saying. Her already diarrhea of the mouth had began to grow far worse than when she was sober.
⠀
⠀

"Boongi, it's my turn," she pouted as Yoongi began to say the next topic. Her head tilted to the side as she looked to him as he was pouring himself another glass.
⠀
⠀

He burped in the back of this throat then coughed. "Don't be selfish, Brooke, it's my turn." Yoongi let out a shaky breath before taking a very small sip of his drink-
⠀
⠀

"Hey, you're cheating!"
⠀
⠀

Yoongi winced at Brooke's shrill voice, slamming the glass down in the floor. A small amount of room sloshed out to droplets on the floor. "Holy shit, okay. Please don't scream." He brought a hand up to massage his temple.
⠀
⠀

The girl sharing drinks with him was in the mood now to do nothing but push his buttons. Many questions had rattled her mind, and she was for sure Yoongi wouldn't answer truthfully to any of them unless he had just a bit of alcohol in his system.
⠀
⠀

However, Brooke wasn't aware that he was one to be honest at all times.
⠀
⠀

"Yoongi, B-Boongi," she hiccuped, then placing a hand on her chest. "Never... have I ever..." She paused for dramatic effect, watching him look at her with an expectant expression, his pink lips parted and cheeks puffed out.
⠀
⠀

Her tongue glided over her teeth before speaking.
⠀
⠀

"Never have I ever had my heart broken."
⠀
⠀

Yoongi was midway raising the glass to his lips when the same silence settled over the atmosphere again. This time, however, the vibe was only more uncomfortable. His gaze seemed to stare far off behind Brooke, the drink only mere inches from touching his lips.
⠀
⠀

It was then, only the smallest bit of the heartbreak he had indeed was still there and present. It was something that could never be shaken off, no matter how many bottles of substances one could down.
⠀
⠀

Yoongi let a breath past his lips, the vapor fogging up the glass in front of him. There were too many things flashing before his eyes right now, Brooke seeming to be nonexistent in the moment. If he wasn't careful, the cup of rum would just slip out of his clammy fingertips and shatter onto the floor. However, his grasp stayed firm, for what was contained inside it was a temporary escape from the heartbreak.
⠀
⠀

Still in the trance, Yoongi finally tipped his head back and downed the dark rum, the substance ripping at his dry throat. He could hear Brooke let out a loud 'whoop' from a couple feet away, but he was no longer up to asking questions. He reached forward and swiped up the bottle.
⠀
⠀

"Ey, what'cha doin'?" Brooke asked him with a grin. She watched the boy struggle to stand up, using the small table right beside them to help push himself up.
⠀
⠀

Once he was too his feet, he swayed a little to catch his balance. "Ah... that's enough, I wanna sleep..." Brooke let out a scoff as she watched him make his way to the narrow hallway.
⠀
⠀

"Come back! Things were just getting interesting!"
⠀
⠀

"I cant finish all this Crown Royal on my own!"
⠀
⠀

"I mean, I could... but c'mon, Boongi, I thought we had something!"
⠀
⠀

Brooke's buzzed ramblings were nothing but a mumble now as Yoongi laid sprawled on his bed, eyes at the ceiling as he occasionally brought the bottle to his lips for a swig.
⠀
⠀

He stayed silent until a sudden wave of realization interrupted his episode of reliving the heartbreak that haunted him for so long.
⠀
⠀

"Is this what you felt, Kimmie?"
