BROTHERS.
episode seven: teen, age

❀

❝we are not a gang, we're a highly-fashionable group!❞

eunhee could not believe it.

she just texted soona that she would be there. she started panicking, she was pasting around her room with a frantic look, both of hands squishing her face.

'omo, what was i thinking?' she gasped, 'my entire family is literally going to kill me if they find out!'

she was actually going to attend a party—filled with random strangers from their school, have people drinking and dancing, and her just sitting in a corner.. being awkward.

'tonight is the official date when my social reputation is destroyed.' she made an awkward-disappointed face with her mouth as she slumped into her bed.

in a matter of seconds, a beeping noise was heard, it was coming from her phone. she looks and it and reads soona's text.

NANA 💛

SOONA:
omo omo
really??

EUNHEE:
*sigh*
don't make me change my mind
dummy

SOONA:
okay then!
don't forget to wear something fun!

please don't show up looking like some librarian -.-

wear a skirt or something
pair them with some heels!!

i think i left some of my clothes in ur closet
from the last time i slept over

i'll text u the address in a few mins

eunhee sighed and laid her phone down on her dresser, "what am i even gonna to wear?" she mumbled as she looked at her closet, with her arms crossed.

she shuffled around her closet looking for comfortable clothes, but 'fun' to wear, although she could not find much. most of her clothes consisted of slightly ripped jeans, sweaters, collar shirts, tennis skirts (long enough to wear—brothers made sure of this) and some grandma type of dresses.

in the end, she chose to wear a black denim skirt that she found from soona's backpack—she had left it inside her closet floor for a good two weeks—a light blue-colored long-sleeve with a simple diamond stud necklace.

she remembered her brother's saving their money just to buy the necklace for her birthday, with the help of her parents too, of course.

eunhee smiled at the thought, as she touched the necklace and looked at herself in front of a mirror. she tilted her head and looked at her collar—it was fully buttoned up.

soona's text ran through her mind about looking like some librarian.

'i need to loosen up," she unbuttoned a few near her collar, "i came to forget about today."

she opened her drawer to take out blush and lip stain. she later, applied some lip stain to tint the color of lips and patted a few colors of blush.

she proudly looked at herself.

another notification pinged from her phone, she jolted a bit from the surprise—hoping it was not too loud to wake her family up. she tip-toed to her dresser to read it.

it was a text from soona, she had just given her the address to saeri's house, where the party was located.

ever so slowly, she opened her door—hoping the creak would not be too loud—and tip-toed across the hallway, past everyone's room.

she admitted, her brother's snore very loud, and some of them are quite weird or scary when they're asleep.

she heard some of them talking to themselves as she made her way downstairs,

"they done lil' meow meow out ther–" a high-pitched voice mumbled before they shuffled and started sobbing.

"yah.. get off me, who the hell are you even talking to?" yoongi grumbled as he pushed the owner of the voice, hoseok, off his side of the bed, "why am i even sharing a bed with you.."

eunhee finally reached the bottom of the stairs without making much noise as she expected. she looked at the shoe rack to wear her white heels, taking soona's advice. however, no matter where she looked, it was no where to be found.

'what? i swear i left them here..' she furrowed her eyebrows as she looked around the dark entrance, 'that's strange.'

she shrugged her shoulders, and decided to settle with wearing her typical white stan smiths.

eunhee opened the door and closed it as quietly as possible. her thoughts were so filled with worry that she forgot to lock he door once she got out.

she called for a taxi nearby, and arrived at saeri's house 15 minutes later.

as she popped her head out of the cab, she already heard the voice of soona shouting her name and running up to her.

"oh my, you actually came!" she squealed, and she hugged onto eunhee tightly. eunhee squirmed and coughed when she caught the distinct smell of her breath—she has definitely been busy drinking.

"let's go see saeri!" she took eunhee's wrist and walked with her into the beige detached and modern-looking house.

it was filled with strangers and familiar-looking people she had seen at her university, most of them were either eating junk food in the dining room, intoxicating themselves with alcohol in the backyard, or making out in random places—it made eunhee want to gag just looking at the sight.

'what a mess,' she thought, 'this is definitely not my type of party.'

"saeriiiii, my gorl~" soona couldn't even walk properly while guiding eunhee through the crowd of people, but they finally made it. saeri turned around and looked at the two.

she was talking to her guests when she gasped and ran to hug them with a smile, "soona! eunhee! ah, so good to see you two could make it!"

they broke off their embrace, and saeri began to look strangely at eunhee. she pointed at her and tilted her head, "but.. what exactly does bring you her, girlie?"

saeri has known eunhee since the middle of their high school days, and she knew for a fact that these types of parties that she threw were not her type of environment.

"ah.. nothing," eunhee awkwardly smiled, she hated lying but she didn't know what else to say, "just wanted..–a change of scenery."

"oh, i see. well feel free to roam around the house–except upstairs, of course—my parents would kill me if they found out they did anything silly in their bedroom." saeri smiled, as she was later distracted by some other guests to her party.

'wahhh, she's so famous.'

soona turned to her and pointed at eunhee's face, "rememb-eer~" she then put both of her hands to hold eunhee's arms, "you're here to loosen up and have fun~! forget about your care in the world, eh!"

and in the matter of seconds, i was ditched by my best friend who ran for the bathroom when she felt her vomit coming out.

"alrighty then!" eunhee looked around awkwardly, thinking she might have said that very loudly, "i'll just be here then." she mumbled to herself.

she began observing the house like what she did when she first entered, there were the people drinking, eating, making out, some people swimming in the pool outside, and some obnoxious people screaming lyrics while dancing.

eunhee was getting tired of just awkwardly standing in the middle of a social event, so she tried not to get attention on her by moving—she went to go look for the snack bar and eat something.

while looking for the kitchen, she passed by a group of girls near the stairs who's eyes were all glued to a phone. eunhee stopped behind them to take a look at what they could possibly be so intrigued in.

"3 MISSING WOMAN, SKINNY AND PETITE, TEENS TO EARLY TWENTIES; GONE MISSING."

they were watching the news on their phones, "wah, i didn't know such girls watch the news anymore." eunhee looked at their backs in amazement, and continued walking to go inside the kitchen.

she finally found the snack table, the food laid there consisted of chips, pizza, chicken wings, and soda drinks—the typical american party food. of course, she knew saeri was half american so she saw that coming.

she went to get a slice of pizza, when a couple suddenly blocked her way—they were making out in front of her innocent eyes.

eunhee was screaming inside, but instead of causing a scene, she slowly started walking backwards to exit the situation. unfortunately, on her way she ends up bumping into someone.

"yah!" the person shouted, "i could've dropped my croissant."

eunhee turned around, and bowed to apologize. when she looked up, she met the eyes of a warm dark-eyed boy, with light-blond hair—some of facial features looked surprisingly like taehyung's.

after apologizing, she tried to run away when the boy held her wrist, "eunhee?"

this made her turn around in confusion and give the boy another careful look, "baekhyun?"

his serious face soon turned into a smile as he greeted his old friend, "hey eun, how've you been? like, it's been a while since i saw you, cause y'know the thing with sehun–"

"omo! omo! omo!" eunhee stammered, "if you're here.. does that mean sehun's here?"

baekhyun chuckled, and put his hand in eunhee's shoulder, "lucky you, he's not." he reassured her. "he's at home playing battleground with chanyeol and chen."

she looked at eunhee, who was staying quiet, "are you alone?"

she nodded her head and looked around. he knew she was the awkward type, and she wouldn't just go and start talking to people. so he decided to show her some of his friends.

"follow me, i want to introduce you to some people." he smiled and he waved his hand to follow him.

they were all talking around the island counter of the kitchen, eunhee met the eyes of three guys and a girl all chattering up and laughing together.

the girl looked over and greeted baekhyun, "oh hey! looks like you brought a new friend with ya."

she introduced herself, "well my name is sung jiyeon, but you can call me jane!" she smiled, as eunhee bowed her head with an awkward smile.

baekhyun pointed to a tall black-haired boy, "that, over there is kim mingyu."

he smiled at eunhee, as she waved a hello back. "and over here with the emo-looking-black hair is xu minghao." the boy snickered, but bowed his head and said hello to eunhee.

"and the last one over here, showed up looking like joker." baekhyun put his arms around the bleached hair looking dude, "is kim hyojong—otherwise known as, e'dawn."

eunhee had just finished having random conversations about baby giraffes and deep talks about loving themselves with baekhyun and her new friends, which she was very pleased and overjoyed about. however, jane and e'dawn has somehow talked her into drinking her first cup of alcohol.

they all cheered happily, while baekhyun went to go grab one from the table. jane and e'dawn were already intoxicated, as they were dancing like fools and trying to roast each other out loud in the kitchen.

"you're ugly!" jane shouted to him in english.

"ha! bitch i don't understand engrish!" e'dawn retorted and laughed.

baekhyun came back with the booze and handed the red plastic cup to eunhee. soona and saeri came to watch her as well.

"what took so long?" mingyu questioned it, but he shrugged it off.

on the other hand, eunhee was second guessing why she even agreed to do this. she didn't know if she could handle it; she didn't even know how she would get back home—it's too dangerous to trust cab drivers when you're drunk, and she knew she wasn't gonna ask her friends when they're gonna be in the same state as her.

however, she gave into the peer pressure and just drink.

'well, the night is still young! and i need to stop being so uptight and timid.' she thought to herself, before taking in the alcohol that was slowly giving her the burning sensation inside her throat.

"we are not a gang, we're a highly-fashionable group!" soonyoung, a narcissist that eunhee befriended stated, "don't you dare compare us to those nasty motorcycle bikers!" he flipped his non-existed long and blond hair.

"but isn't that wut you arrr~?" eunhee questioned, making a few slurs.

thirteen boys stood before her, and they were all parked and sitting on their fancy motorcycles.

"why do you gois even coll yursself seventeeen—there's only thirteen of you!" eunhee clapped her hands and laughed.

  seungcheol, the leader of seventeen, sighed, "do we really have to explain this to everyone who asks, it's getting really annoying now."

"i want a cheeseburger." a boy with cat-like eyes, and black hair named wonwoo blurred out—he looked very mysterious and calm.

"aish, hyung we can go to bangtan burger later, okay?" seokmin patted wonwoo's shoulder and looked at eunhee, "you can come with us too!" he gave eunhee his biggest smile—she swore to herself that her eyes might have been blinded but the world's secret second sun (hoseok being the first).

"whatever gois~" eunhee waved them goodbye, "i'm gonna go home!"

"what? in that state?" chan looked at her shocked.

"nu-uh sweetie, we're not letting you go when you're clearly in a vulnerable state." jeonghan walked up to her and grabbed her waist, leading her back to the guys.

"have you seen the news, we wouldn't want you to go alone either." joshua looked at her with a worried look on his face.

eunhee escaped jeonghan's arms and ran off near the road, waving to them, "it's okayyyy~ i'll call for a cab!" 

just in time, a cab was passing by and eunhee managed to get a ride. before she got in, she looked back and waved at the 13 silly boys she just befriended, "bye fwiends!"

"aish, she's so weird." seungkwan said out loud, making everyone laugh.

meanwhile, eunhee sat down inside the cab and gave the driver her address. the car started its engine, and started to move.

she looked out the window and noticed the tiny rain drops that started to fall from the sky. she checked the time and realized that it was already two in the morning, however it was still really dark outside since the sun didn't come out yet.

she closed her eyes as she started to feel nauseous, but it wasn't the type that she'd feel like she'd throw up on the spot. she felt like she was going to pass out any second.

"sir, can you stop the car please," she ordered the driver, "i don't feel so good."

the driver continued driving which made her feel worse. she looked out of the window again and noticed the unfamiliar roads the cab was driving through.

she looked at the driver and tried correcting his mistake, "sir, i don't think this is the way to my house." she coughed, and felt her head pouncing and her eyes slowly closing.

before she closed her eyes, the driver looked back at her and smiled,

"i know."
