this probably wasn't her idea of going out, but at the same time she wasn't complaining. jungkook however was living his best life, arm slung over his friends shoulders as they stumbled up the long driveways to the huge house in front of them.

hyuna rung the doorbell and held onto the ravenettes waist as he kept talking about whatever nonsense was on his mind. "ding dong." he interrupted himself to mimic the doorbell.

they got their usual greeting once the doors opened, jin in his robe with drinks in his hands and a tired-looking namjoon a few steps behind with the guinea pigs. a day in their life may be interesting as hell. the ideas were already starting to bloom inside jungkooks creative mind.

"hello-" jin paused as he looked at the pair in front of him, "maybe he shouldn't have this." he held the drink back from the younger.

"i swear i went to the bathroom for one second and the whole patron bottle was gone." hyuna said, recalling her friend having the most intense pre-game she's ever seen in such a short span of time.

"you look like you need this." the oldest handed her the glass which she gratefully took, switching off for the tipsy younger to be given to his hyung.

namjoon was still petting one of the guinean pigs as everyone made their way to the kitchen, "is taehyung not coming?" he asked, the question directed towards hyuna since the ravenette was busy trying to steady himself on one of the kitchen stools.

"no." jungkook spoke up, surprisingly, "he's busy getting smart so he can leave me, and i'm so proud he's doing so well." he smiled at the thought of his boyfriend, hands folded gently in front of him on the counter as jin went to get him a water from the fridge.

"leaving?" jin repeated, "is taehyung breaking up with you?"

"no!" hyuna interrupted, her palm hitting her face a second later knowing very well that her friend was too drunk to follow the conversation accurately, "he means when taehyung goes away for college."

jungkook frowned at his hyungs words, "taehyungs breaking up with me?" his lip quivered.

"no!" they all shouted at once, staring at the raven haired male who now had wide eyes and lips slightly parted. "here." namjoon walked over and glared at his boyfriend who was the one to say things to start this, "pet little joonie jr." he handed jungkook the guinea pig who happily cradled the pet in his arms.

everyone loved jungkook, that was obvious, and as much fun as he is to be around, no one ever wants to deal with him crying. it's almost like, seeing one of your teachers in public. you know they have to go grocery shopping at some point, but when you personally see it, it's almost scary and unnatural. jungkook wasn't one to show that side, not when he's always this goofy and cheeky character on his youtube channel. seeing him cry was like rain in the desert, and only jimin has been with him when he's cried before.

jin of course knows this, because it wasn't long after that episode that jimin called him and he was also crying after listening to jungkook pour his heart out. apparently losing taehyung was one of the few things that could trigger the boy into tears.

"well we're obviously not thinking of video ideas tonight." jin said with his hands on his hips, he was watching the younger pet the guinea pig while whispering quietly to it. this wasn't the first time he's shown up drunk before, and he'd probably pass out on the couch in an hour or two.

"i love your eyeshadow." namjoon had to add his opinion as he sipped the champagne in his glass. hyuna smiled and subconsciously looked at her reflection in the screen of her phone. the colors were all still there and very bright, it was a mix of purple and green because jungkook apparently wanted to capture the essence of the hulk.

"i'm gonna call taehyung." jin said as the other two continued to talk about makeup and how other marvel characters could be done in eyeshadows colors. jungkook was too busy playing with the guinea pig to see his hyung leaving the kitchen and making a call.

oddly enough the boy picked up pretty quickly, maybe after the first ring, "hello? jin?" taehyungs voice was deep through the phone.

"hey, tae." jin said, only continuing with a quick glance over his shoulder at the quiet ravenette sitting in his kitchen. "you need to come over."

it was those simple five words that had him packing up the textbooks and notes in seconds. "who was that?" jimin asked in confusion, he was in the middle of a physics equation, something about velocity based off their last slingshot project.

taehyung was quiet still, too busy shoving his pencils pack into the pocket of his backpack and throwing the straps over his shoulders. "let's continue tomorrow." he said a quick goodbye before taking off across the parking lot  and waiting for the bus. it would only take him partway through the city, but from there he knew the way to jin's house.

it felt like time was taking forever, his leg wouldn't stop bouncing on the bus as he fidgeted and his teeth wouldn't stop chewing on his bottom lip as he pushed passed people on the sidewalk. there was a quick stop he just had to make on the way, a little smile o his lips as he left the store with the plastic bag.

jin must have been waiting at the door, because he opened it immediately after the first knock. taehyung stepped in and kicked off his shoes, "where is he?" he asked, wondering what his boyfriend had gotten into within the past hour.

"couch." jin followed the brunette through the foyer and towards the living room. the other two were still in the kitchen, drinking and talking about makeup while the guinea pigs stayed in a little play pen on the floor.

taehyung said hello to namjoon and hyuna as he passed, but they both knew his intentions. "hey," he whispered, once crouching down beside the couch and becoming level with his sleepy looking boyfriend. taehyung brushed some of the messy black bangs away from pretty eyes just now fluttering open.

"baby." jungkook mumbled, blinking more to clear his vision and really make sure that the older boy was there right now. "come." he ended up scooting over on the couch and taehyung obeyed, laying down with his boyfriend who snuggled right into his side. the younger always became cuddly when he was drunk, it was very different from his usual bad boy aesthetic.

"did you get a little comfortable with the grey goose?" taehyung asked, making sure to keep his voice quiet as he played with his boyfriends hair while his head rested against his chest. jungkook just closed his eyes again and listened to the olders heartbeat, "maybe." he mumbled, not really bothering to remember exactly what he chose to consume earlier.

"do you want to go home and sleep?" taehyung asked another question, his fingers were still running through black hair and lips brushing against his temple to leave a soft kiss.

"no." he might have said it too quickly, but jungkook couldn't help tightening his grip around the brunette and snuggling closer into his side while hiding his face in taehyungs neck. maybe if his grip loosened the boy would leave again, and jungkook wasn't taking those chances.

jin could tell this was the case, and part of him didn't know if he wanted to frown or smile at the sight. instead, he brought a blanket to the couple and laid the sheet up to their waists. "thanks." taehyung whispered to the eldest.

"sleep tight, you two." jin said as he left them in his living room, clicking off the light and enveloping them in the dark. hyuna had left minutes ago, leaving the older couple to head upstairs and go to sleep as well.

jungkook was already asleep, but his boyfriend was wide away, sleep playing with his hair and staring up into the dark with a million thoughts on his mind. with so many uncertainties, taehyung could still rest calmly — knowing very well that this is where he was at his happiest, with jungkook in his arms.
