RM: We're having a party tonight. Do you wanna bring Lilly?

YOONGI: Who said I want to come? It's a weeknight!

RM: You don't have a choice Yoongi :P We don't have the weekend to drink, remember?

YOONGI: I see.

RM: It starts at 6 pm. Are you bringing Lilly or what?

YOONGI: I guess. What's the occasion?

RM: You moving back in with us.

YOONGI: Yah.

RM: I'm kidding. We haven't hung out as a group for a while.

YOONGI: Ok.

RM: I'll see you then, okay?

YOONGI: Alright, see you.

RM: Oh, Yoongi...

YOONGI: Mm?

RM: We miss you, you know that right?

YOONGI: I know.

RM: We need to work together more, okay?

YOONGI: Mm.

RM: Good. But tonight, let's get wasted!

YOONGI: I thought you didn't like drinking?

RM: I don't, but I like drinking with you guys.

YOONGI: Don't lie, you just like seeing the others drunk.

RM: They're so cute though... I know you can handle your alcohol, but it'll be fun to watch the light-weights get drunk, don't you think?

YOONGI: I guess I'm in the mood for that.

RM: Plus, you're super cute when you're drunk.

YOONGI: YAH!

RM: See ya!

. . . . . 

Yoongi:

"Lilly!" Yoongi calls from the couch, frowning a little. Lilly peeks around the wall.

"Mm?"

"Would you like to go over to the dorms for some drinks and food?" Yoongi asks.

Lilly frowns at him, stepping into the lounge room. She narrows her eyes, staring down at him.

"You don't want to go," she says.

"So? If the leader calls for me, I must go. But I want to bring you,"

Wait... I can just leave her here... that way she won't see Jungkook.

But I want to spend time with her...

Yoongi frowns deeper, and his mouth opens like he wants to say something.

"Alright, I'll go with you," She smirks, "But you should really be more excited to see your friends," Yoongi feels a pinch of guilt as she turns and heads to the bedroom, probably to get ready.

Why did I have to ask her?

Yoongi contemplates his choices. If he hadn't told her, and went and partied without her, she'd get suspicious. If he had told her but said he didn't want her to come, she'd be suspicious – or hurt. If he told her the truth then she'd try to talk to Jungkook about it.

He sighs in frustration.

There is no right answer, but this one seems to be the best. At the party, he'll be beside her whilst keeping an eye on Jungkook.

He puts his jacket on, slides his phone and wallet into his pocket, and stands beside the front door.

As she leaves her room, all dressed and ready, he has the urge to send her back in. She is wearing her favourite jeans and leather jacket over a low-cut top.

He bites his lip, knowing exactly what she will say if he tries to make her change. Something like 'Do not tell me what to do!'

I'll punch Jungkook if he looks.

Consoling himself with this thought, he opens the door for her.

Lilly gives him a knowing smirk, giving him a small kiss on his cheek.

"Let's go," She grins, leading the way. Yoongi shakes his head, watching her go with humour dancing in his eyes.

She knows me so well.

. . . . . 

Lilly:

When we arrive at the party, the first thing that comes to mind is this: I am about to see these guys drunk. At the first party I attended, they didn't drink, except for Seokjin. I remember some of the members mentioning that they aren't very good drinkers, and Yoongi said he can drink very well but doesn't drink often. Especially when he's working, or writing music.

What they didn't mention is what type of drunk they are.

As we enter the garage for the dorms, I turn to Yoongi, frowning slightly.

"Yoongi," I whisper, pulling him aside at the elevators, "Can I ask you something?"

Yoongi raises his eyebrows, but he nods.

"What's wrong?"

"Everyone will be drinking right?" I bite my lip, "I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about what the members are like when drunk,"

Yoongi laughs, grinning at me.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Well, I was just wondering if I should be worried, or anything like that..."

Yoongi scoffs, shaking his head in mock exasperation.

"Well, you remember how I said I drink well?" He smirks as I nod, "Well, after me, Jin and Jimin are good drinkers. Namjoon is probably around the middle, then Jungkook, Taehyung, and Hoseok," Yoongi chuckles, reminiscing something, "Taehyung and Hoseok are particularly bad drinkers,"

"How?" I ask as the elevator doors open. We step inside.

"Well, Taehyung can have 1 maybe 2 drinks, and Hoseok is the same. Taehyung becomes really messy and Hoseok just daydreams, it's strange. Taehyung doesn't like to drink often," Yoongi continues to recall drinking moments from previous experiences, "But Jimin and Jin become really cute. Jin practically acts like our mother and Jimin starts talking in the third person,"

I let Yoongi think about these moments with the members for a little longer, the elevator rising quickly. But curiosity gets the better of me.

"What about Namjoon and Jungkook?" I ask. Yoongi's expression darkens momentarily, but it disappears so quickly, I almost think I imagined it.

Almost.

"Well, Jungkook is pretty good with his alcohol; he isn't a lightweight. He isn't as bad as Taehyung and Hoseok, but he is more of a lightweight than Namjoon," Yoongi frowns a little, tiny wrinkles appearing on his forehead, "But he doesn't act cute or anything. Just loud... and flirty,"

"Loud?" I giggle as Yoongi smiles at the thought of Jungkook for the first time in a while. Why has he been so angry at Jungkook recently?

"Yeah, all the members become really loud when drunk," Yoongi pretends to grimace, "I hope you brought ear plugs,"

As I finish laughing, Yoongi knocks on the door. We enter before anyone can answer the door. The boys are sitting on the floor in the lounge room surrounding the coffee table. They have left us a little bit of room.

"HEY!" Hoseok and Taehyung cheer, soon followed by the other members. All of a sudden, Yoongi cheers too. The boys bombard Yoongi, forming a big group hug around him as he squirms and protests the sudden physical affection. Namjoon walks around the members to me.

"Hey, Lilly, what would you like to drink? Soju? Champagne? Beer?" He asks, ignoring the cheering and climbing from behind him.

"Soju and beer please," I smirk as he leads me over to the kitchen.

I wouldn't say I am a lightweight, but I am extremely proud when I drink. All it takes is one person to subtly cheer me as I drink, and I am chugging a bottle of whiskey. It's a very bad drinking habit.

Namjoon pours me a beer and adds a shot of soju, passing it to me carefully.

"I'm not good at making drinks, so later you should ask Jimin to make them," He laughs, leading me over to the table. The members are crowded around it, yelling random things and cheering. Only Jimin remains seated, calmly making everyone a mixed drink I don't recognise.

I sit on the floor. Once everyone has calmed down, Yoongi sits beside me and Jungkook sits on my other side.

As I watch Jimin continue to make the drinks, he glances up at Jungkook. He is frowning, like he is trying to communicate with his eyes.

I'm not good at reading this sort of communication, but I think Jimin is trying to tell him to move.

I look at Jungkook, but he has already looked away from Jimin, down at his phone. Yoongi glances at him but doesn't say anything.

"So!" Namjoon claps, "Finally, we are all together again!" The guys cheer, making me feel a little nervous and out of place. Am I interrupting their time together?

"Featuring Lilly pad!" Hoseok yells as he starts dancing cutely, making the other members laugh. I chuckle, watching them force him back down onto the floor.

"I just want to say I enjoy seeing us all together," Namjoon smiles, "Let's enjoy tonight, okay?"

"YES!" The members yell, grabbing their drinks from Jimin.

"CHEERS!" We clink our glasses together. I decide to chug the entire drink, receiving a cheer from Jungkook.

"Woah, you're a good drinker!" He laughs, gently smacking my arm playfully. Jimin's eyes become wary, glancing at Yoongi. Suddenly, Seokjin is climbing to his feet, his eyes on Jungkook.

He saunters over, wobbling a little. If he's not a lightweight, how much did he drink before we arrived?

"Kookie~ Kookie~" Seokjin giggles cutely, sitting between us and pinching his cheeks, "Cutie~ cutie~"

"Hyung!" Jungkook whines, peeking at me from around Jin. I laugh at them, thanking Jimin as he passes me a beer.

After that, Seokjin remains seated beside me with Yoongi on my other side. Taehyung and Jungkook talk about music, concerts, fans, and games. I start talking to Namjoon from across the table about how I started dancing. ("Ever since I was little I was dancing in some way, even when I was wearing nappies!").

After a while, Yoongi takes my hand. I look up at him, but he's talking to Hoseok seriously. I smile, turning back to Jimin, who is talking to me about his favourite dance, joining in my conversation with Namjoon.

"Lilly pad~ Lilly pad~" Seokjin turns around, pinching my cheeks. I shuffle so I am facing him, accepting the assault. 

"Eat up!" He reaches for a pair of chopsticks, picking up some meat, "Ahh~" He holds it in front of me, waiting for me to open my mouth. I open it a little when suddenly, Yoongi's arm appears out of nowhere. His arm wraps around my chest, pulling me into him. I am now leaning against him, my head against his chest.

"Yah, you feed her then!" Jin pouts, shoving the meat in his own mouth.

"Ahh..." Yoongi murmurs. Suddenly, a pair of chopsticks holding some chicken appears in front of me. I look up at him, weirded out by his sudden cuteness. He raises his eyebrows as if to say, 'Do you want it or not?'

After a moment, I open my mouth, letting him feed me.

"KYAA!!" Jimin squeals, startling everyone, "Jiminie wants to be fed too!" He squeaks, folding his arms and pouting. Taehyung chuckles, shuffling over so he is sitting behind him on the couch.

"Come here," Taehyung wraps his arm around Jimin, roughly pulling him in front of him. He picks up a piece of beef with his fingers, "Ahh~"

"NO! NO WAY!" He screams, pushing Taehyung away. Everyone laughs, even Yoongi.

I look around at them all, drunk or not. I am happy, here in this moment. My friends. Yoongi's friends. Whatever. I am happy in this moment.

Now, I hope it stays this way.

. . . . . 

Jungkook:

It has been a few hours since Yoongi and Lilly arrived. Jungkook is sitting on the couch by himself, playing on his phone. Seokjin and Jimin have been keeping him from her all night. Just before, Seokjin pulled him aside.

"Jeon Jungkook, do you wanna die?" Seokjin murmured, "Because that's what Yoongi will do to you if you're too obvious,"

"What's wrong with talking to her?"

"Because you like her!" Seokjin clenches his jaw, "Let's just keep our distance, and not be so obvious. Yoongi is starting to notice,"

Jungkook frowns, frustrated.

Am I not allowed to be her friend because I like her?

He looks up from his phone, looking around the room. Hoseok, Seokjin, and Jimin are giggling by themselves in a corner, taking shots and saying things that make no sense. Taehyung is talking animatedly with Lilly at the table, opposite Jungkook. But Namjoon and Yoongi are nowhere to be seen.

All of a sudden, Taehyung falls to his side, spilling his drink.

"Yah!" Seokjin yells from the other side of the room, his eyes unsteady, "Who did that?"

"It's okay, Hyung," Jungkook smiles, "I'll clean it up,"

Seokjin nods drunkenly, turning back to a giggling Jimin and a blank-faced Hoseok.

Jungkook walks around the table, helping Taehyung into a seated position. Lilly rushes to the kitchen to grab some paper towels, bringing back the whole roll. She begins dabbing the beer as Jungkook pulls Taehyung away from the mess.

He watches as she rushes back to grab a cleaning product, making sure the floor is completely clean.

"Luckily it wasn't carpet," Lilly smiles, looking up at Taehyung, "He's knocked out, huh?"

Jungkook stops to consider his options. What can he do that isn't suspicious, but will get him alone with her?

Come on drunk brain, think!

Not drunk Jungkook replies:

Yah! You don't want to be alone with her! You don't know where Namjoon and Yoongi are, so you could get caught! Stop trying to act on your feelings!

I don't care, drunk Jungkook replies, I just need to tell her, so I don't take this secret to the grave, how despicable is that?

Jungkook continues to argue with himself, thinking hard.

He has an idea.

"Yeah, I think so," Jungkook sighs, looking up and down Taehyung's body, "He can't sleep here, but I can't carry him by myself to his room... What should I do?" Jungkook bites his lip as he looks up at Lilly.

"Let me help you!" She says, shuffling so she is on the other side of him.

"Are you sure?" Jungkook asks, trying not to sound too pleased.

It worked.

"I'm sure. Plus he won't be too heavy with you helping," Lilly positions herself under Taehyung's arm. Jungkook smirks as he nods, trying to not let the subtle compliment go to his head.

So, they shuffle off to Taehyung and Namjoon's room.

Jungkook opens the door, peering inside. Namjoon isn't there, and neither is Yoongi.

Success.

"That's his bed," Jungkook mumbles, taking most of Taehyung's weight. They flop him on the bed, panting.

"Woah, he has so many plushies!" Lilly giggles, looking at them all. Jungkook smirks, leaning forward to take Taehyung's socks off.

"Done!" Jungkook smiles, chucking his socks away.

He looks up at Lilly, who appears tipsy, but not too drunk.

Should I?

No!

I really want to...

You're going to die! You're going to die!

"Lilly..." Jungkook murmurs. Lilly tears her eyes away from the plushies, looking up at him. Jungkook realises just how close they are. He can smell the alcohol on her breath.

"Mm?" She replies innocently. She can't hear his beating heart or his drunken thoughts. She knows nothing.

"Min Lilly... I like you," Jungkook blurts.

What the fuck did I just say?

Jungkook's eyes go wide as he blushes.

"Awe, thanks Jungkook," Lilly chuckles, "A friend of Yoongi's is a friend of mine,"

No... no that's not it.

"No, that's not what I mean," Jungkook says firmly. She looks up at him, tilting her head and frowning.

Ah, why are you so cute?

"What do you mean?" She asks.

"I have feelings for you," He says, "I like you a lot... more than a friend..."

Lilly looks away from him as a pink tinge spreads steadily across her cheeks.

"Jungkook..." She bites her lip, "I'm... I'm with Yoongi..."

"I know, I just had to tell you," Jungkook sways, staring deeply into her eyes. She watches him warily.

After a moment, she smirks.

"Yah, you're too drunk to be speaking like this," She shakes her head, "Let's get you to your members,"

She begins trying to support him as if she thinks he is too drunk to stand up. He looks down at her, his eyes wide. He stopped breathing the moment her fingers touch the exposed skin under his shirt when she lifts his arm over her head, supporting him from under his arm.

I can't take it. I can't do this.

I'm sorry, Yoongi.

Lilly gasps as Jungkook pulls her into his chest with the arm around her shoulders. He uses his other hand to turn her face so she's looking up at him.

She stares, wide-eyed and startled.

"Jungkook..." She gulps as she starts to wiggle, trying to pull from his embrace.

"I wasn't kidding," He says firmly.

Just do it... you've come this far.

Do it.

He leans down, placing his lips on hers, gripping her neck as if his life depends on it. Her lips are warm and moist from the alcohol. He can taste the beer she's been drinking. She wiggles, trying to tug away from him, but he doesn't care.

It's done.
