"I have no idea why you're giving a party right now, but I'm not complaining." Taehyung shrugged before toasting to a chocolate milkshake.

By party, if you thought I was going to call the whole university, get drinks, and risk my house getting robbed, you're dead wrong.

I might be fairly social, but I'd rather not have a party with people I barely knew. I had to release my inner crackhead after all.

As for alcohol...

1) I'm underage.
2) The taste of alcohol sucks, at least for me.
3) I'd rather get high on sugar.

So here we were, snacks spread around as we all sat on the ground. We had chocolate milkshakes and other sweets from the cafe too.

"I still can't believe you left us to dust like that after the meeting with Mrs Jeon." Tae tsked, munching on food.

"I hope you both had fun washing the dishes." Jungkook smiled evilly, making me smack the back of his head.

"You managed to snap like a pro, sit down while eating cookies that weren't free and walked away like a boss. Hoe, what about us?" Tae asked, looking at Jungkook who was halfway high on sugar.

What a lightweight.

Jungkook picked Tae up bridal style.

"That's gay," I said before smiling. "I love it."

After being gifted a glare from both of them, I shut up.

"Kook, put me dow- I'M GONNA FALL!" Tae shrieked, making me giggle like a sadistic kid.

Jungkook proceeded to throw Tae on the couch and sit down on the floor again.

"And for what did you do that?" I asked, sipping on my milkshake, on the path of becoming as high as Jungkook.

He blinked repeatedly before shrugging. "I forgot."

"UGH." Tae groaned, turning around and falling off the couch. He seemed hungover instead of drunk.

Another lightweight.

Suddenly, I got a joke.

"You lifted him with such ease." I ignored Tae and talked to Jungkook. "Could you say that he was a...lightweight?"

Immediately, I started laughing like there was no tomorrow, thinking that I'm a genius.

Jungkook threw a tissue paper square on my face, making me stop abruptly.

"Shut up. Please." He groaned, making me sniffle.

"I'll find someone who appreciates my jokes. Just you wait." I stood up dramatically before tripping on my own feet and falling onto my knees.

"That kinda hurt," I said before lying down on the ground beside Tae.

"I appreciate your jokes. Sometimes." Tae chimed quietly, poking my face. I scooted closer to him before pinching his cheeks.

"This is why you're my favourite," I said, making him giggle happily.

"Since you appreciate my jokes, I shall do a marathon of dad jokes-"

"I'll give you brownies if you shut up." Jungkook bribed me, making me comply instantly. I walked up to him and sat quietly, waiting for my promised gift.

"Good girl." He patted my head before giving me a brownie.

Taehyung had managed to crawl back to us and pick a packet of chips. Soon, he started eating with us.

Within a few minutes, Kook had lost himself.

"Yall are so bORING!" Kook shouted, being shushed by Taehyung immediately.

"We have neighbours." He reminded Kook, making me look at him.

"Don't we all?" I asked, pointing at us three. "See? Nothing special."

"I-"

"Let's play a game." I cut Taehyung off creepily, making him facepalm. Jungkook happily clapped and nodded vigorously.

"One more Saw reference from you and I'll yeet you out the window." Tae threatened.

"I won't fit though."

Silence.

Kook and I started laughing as he repeatedly smacked my knee, wheezing. I rolled around the floor, laughing so much that my stomach hurt.

"Fuck." Taehyung said, his eyes widening. "I'm the responsible one for tonight?"

"DAMN RIGHT GUCCI BOY~" Kook sang.

"Anyone. Any sane person. Please come." Taehyung prayed for his life.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Ding dong~," I said while playing with my fingers, mocking what Jungkook did once.

Taehyung rushed to the door, eager to see a sober person.

"Hey Y/N!" Tae smiled, looking at her.

"Hey, Taehyung." She greeted back softly, giving him a charming smile.

"QuEeN~" I waved, making her light up.

"Heyy~" She waved back. Tae moved aside to let her in and closed the door.

"Become high with us." Jungkook offered, making her blink.

"Wh-"

"Join the dark side. We don't have cookies, but we have a special Kookie." I said, pointing at Jungkook before we both giggled like kids.

"...does this have something in it?" Y/N asked, looking at the brownie I gave her suspiciously. Taehyung snorted.

"Nope. It's a plain brownie. They're high on sugar."

"Ah!" She nodded in understanding before sitting and joining us. "I wanna be high too."

"Sane person who?" Tae muttered, making us all giggle at him.

~Half an hour later~

I accidentally kicked Jungkook, making him groan in pain.

"That's what you get for eating your sibling," I said seriously, making Tae choke.

"What the actual f-"

I started wheezing, making him look at me in a concerned manner.

"Get it? Cuz Jungkook ate cookies and he's Kooki-" Taehyung shoved a brownie into my mouth, immediately shutting me up.

"Alright. That's enough sweets for tonight. Yall are gonna sober up. And quick." He muttered to himself.

"Jungkook."

"Ngh." He groaned.

"Your Overwatch account got deleted and Mira drank all of your banana milk," Tae said, making Jungkook snap out of whatever he was in.

He looked at Tae, absolute horror on his face as he began panicking

"No no no no nO-" His mental breakdown got interrupted by Taehyung's words.

"Just kidding. Now go take a shower and help me out." Taehyung ordered, making him pout.

"Why me? And you're so mean." He whined.

"Would you rather sit high and spill all your secrets to your crush instead?" Tae whispered, making Jungkook rush to the washroom to freshen up.

~10 minutes later~

"Okay. I'm good." Jungkook said, coming out of the shower before getting a heart attack.

Tae was lying on the floor, his eyes closed. Disney princess clips in his hair as Y/N was busy giggling and braiding his hair.

"Oh my God." He breathed out, alerting Y/N. "You killed him."

"Bitch, no," Tae said, opening his eyes. "But I think she's close."

"...now I'm suspicious of the brownies," Jungkook muttered before carefully walking towards the mess that he calls the living room.

"Wait a minute...where's Mira?" He asked, almost getting another heart attack at the sight of his best friend missing.

"Boo," I whispered from behind him, making his shout in surprise and land on Taehyung.

"Get off you heavy muscle pig." Tae pushed Jungkook off before kindly swatting Y/N's hand away from his hair.

"Noooo~" Y/N pouted, making Jungkook glare at Tae.

"You made her sad."

"But-"

"You fix her. Now."

"Wh-" Tae looked around helplessly before spotting me.

"Take Mira instead." Tae pointed at me, making Y/N light up immediately. She gestured for me to come close, so I happily walked toward them and sat in front of her.

"How the hell did they get a hold of princess clips?" Jungkook asked himself, observing the one in his hand.

"I keep them in my purse," I said happily, making Tae look at me immediately.

"So it was your idea to put these in my hair?"

I gave him a small smile.

"Why?"

"Yeah, why me?" Tae asked. Before I could answer, Jungkook waved him off.

"Not that. Why do you even have DISNEY princess clips?" He stressed the keyword.

"Disney for life, bruh," I said in a duh tone.

"I missed you." Y/N patted my head suddenly, making me smile.

"Missed ya too." I chirped happily.

"Now sit still," Y/N ordered and I sat obediently like a kid. She took off my rubber band and released my hair from the ponytail that it was in. After taming it a bit, she took a few Disney princess clips and got to work.

"Alright." Tae breathed out, thoroughly frustrated as he removed all the clips from his hair and glared at me.

I blinked up at him, not knowing why he was angry.

"You both are going to sober up too. Did you have dinner?" He asked, making us shake our heads no.

"I ate grass," Y/N said, pointing at all the snacks on the ground.

"I knew it. These brownies have something in them." Jungkook said while eating one of the brownies.

"Then why the heck would you eat one?!" Taehyung asked exasperated.

"Cause I was hungry." He whined, making Tae sigh. He quickly took all the brownies away before bitch slapping Jungkook.

"Ow!"

"I just don't want you getting high again."

"Thanks, bro. That helped." He said wincing.

Jungkook sighed, shaking his head. "We need proper food. I'll take all the snacks away, Tae. You order fo-"

"PANDA EXPRESS!" I exclaimed, making Y/N yelp in surprise and drop the fifth clip that she tried to put in my hair.

"Please?" I gave my best puppy eyes to Y/N, who squished my cheeks and agreed immediately. I turned to Jungkook, who threw another tissue on my face.

Where does he get these tissues from?

"That doesn't work on me." He pointed out, making me sigh.

I got up and whispered in his ear.

"Agree or I'll show Y/N your 8th-grade pictures during the annual function in our school," I said and snickered, remembering the tiny overly-gelled hair Kookie.

He hated me for keeping that pic, but he couldn't do anything. I've hidden it and he doesn't know where it is.

Trust me, he tried to find it.

I'm just good at hiding things.

"Panda express it is," Jungkook said, defeated. I jumped happily.

"Yay." Tae cheered to himself as I smiled, knowing I made him less mad at me.

Angry Tae was scary Tae.

"Kookie?" Y/N called suddenly, making him blush due to the new nickname she used.

"Hm?"

"Can I get a hug?" She asked, spreading her arms, making him freeze.

"Uhh-"

"The heck you doing dude? Go give the queen a huuuUUg~" I pretended to be high and happily pushed him in her direction, making him trip and fall on her.

At least I won't get scolded since I'm 'high'.

He yelped before quickly trying to get off her as he became a stuttering mess.

"S-sorry I d-didn't to-"

Y/N giggled and hugged him while lying down, snuggling into the crook of his neck.

I stared, trying to see if I'd feel any jealously.

Not feeling anything but the happiness that my ship was sailing and a little bit of sadness since I wanted a hug too, I smiled to myself.

I'm doing pretty good.

Y/N was right. I had feelings for him for the longest time, and I wasn't ready to let go for whatever the reason was.

Now that I did though, it feels good.

Feels like a burden off my shoulders, now that I know I'm not standing in between his possibly happy relationship.

I sat on the floor and played with the Disney clips for a bit since I was feeling bored. I think I was calming down from my sugar rush.

I looked up to see Taehyung who already was staring at the mess I made.

I smiled brightly, pointing at the Disney princess clip tower.

"I made that," I said proudly. He blinked before ruffling my hair with a smile.

"Good job, buttercup." He said and walked away to sit on the couch. Deciding to clean this mess up, I took off all the clips from my hair and on the ground. Picking them all up, I put them back in my bag and looked around.

Most of the mess was cleared up, save a few empty chip packets here and there.

I shrugged before sitting back down, not knowing what to do.

"NoOoo," Y/N mumbled from Jungkook's neck as he tried to let go slowly. I looked at them. "A lil bit more." She snuggled up even more, making me giggle at Jungkook's wide eyes.

"I want a hug too," I muttered, looking around for a human who wasn't hugging anyone yet.

I found Taehyung.

He was busy on his phone, texting someone and making sure we didn't make too much noise.

"Tae?" I asked, staring at him.

"Hm?" He looked up from his phone quickly to look at me.

I pointed at Jungkook and Y/N before spreading my arms, asking for a hug silently.

I think I might've been Olaf in my previous life or something, I just really love warm hugs.

"Not now, Mira. I'm trying to sort something out. Later, alright?" He said before getting back to texting someone again.

I looked at him sadly before waddling away to a corner. Sitting and staring at the wall, I kept poking it.

I huffed quietly to myself. Humans were overrated anyway. I'll just hug this wall.

Standing up, I was wondering how I should hug the entirety of this wall when I heard a sigh and a few footsteps.

I blinked.

Did the wall just walk?

Soon after, two arms engulfed me in a hug from behind as I recognized who it was.

It wasn't the wall.

I immediately felt warm. I turned my head a little to look at Tae who was already staring. I poked the mole on the top of his nose, making him chuckle airily.

Snuggling into him, I sighed in contentment and closed my eyes, feeling soft as my heart overflowed with love for him as usual.

This was nice.

...

Wait a damn minute.

My eyes snapped open and I looked at Tae in alarm, whose eyes were closed. He tightly hugged me from behind, his head on my shoulder.

Love is when you're comfortable with the person and you would do anything for them. You can laugh with them, cry with them, and it all feels so natural.

I remembered Y/N's words that she texted me, feeling the panic slowly enter me.

It couldn't be...

Then how do you tell what's friendship and what's love? They both come off as natural don't they? I remember asking her.

Oh no no no. Please, no.

They do. And that's why only time and a few moments can tell. You'll know immediately, and you can't even deny it. It's best if you realise it on your own.

Fuck.

I'm in love with my best friend.

Tae opened his eyes, finding me staring at him in panic. He tilted his head slightly in confusion.

Shaking my head and smiling, I signalled that it was nothing. Closing his eyes again, he snuggled up to me as I began cursing my existence.

So much for the moving on party, eh?

Some things are just waiting to be realised. You just have to let go of your old beliefs to see them.
