"Shall we go out? As a group?" Chan asked to the others as they were cleaning in preparations for opening.
"I mean we are all friends now, so why not" Jackson shrugged.
"Yeah I'm down" Minjun nodded.
"Me too" Kihyun added as he polished glasses.
"Omg yes, can we, it would be so much fun, we can all get drunk together" Chae squealed.
"Yeah I'm up for it" Jungkook smiled.

"Should we invite the boss?" Kihyun questioned.
"Invite me where?" Taehyung asked as he walked past his employees, hearing his name.
"We were gonna go out as a group on Monday night for drinks. Would you like to come?" Chae questioned with a small smile, hoping he would say yes.
"Uhm do you want me there?" Taehyung asked to the whole group which were caught off guard by his reply.

"Of course we do, why wouldn't we? Yes you're our boss, but we want you there too" Chan quickly replied.
Taehyung straightened his suit out and looked around meeting eyes with Jungkook. The younger looked at him with fondness and gave him an encouraging nod.
"Yeah okay sure" Taehyung said before rushing off, Jungkook watched him run off while attempting to suppress his smile.                                                                                                                               
The male was getting out of his comfort zone which was nice to see. Since the last time they were together, Taehyung has healed up pretty quick, and wasn't sick  anymore due to the fact he went back to sipping alcohol in his free time. He also agreed to Jungkook, allowing him to make him 'happy', which Taehyung really can't see happening, he's been like this for years so he can't understand how it is going to suddenly change now, but it was worth a try... that was what Jungkook said anyway. If it doesn't work then Taehyung will continue his life like the attempt of becoming happy never happened.

"Okay cool so let's meet outside here and then we can walk to a bar close by?" Chan suggested.
"Yeah that would be good" Minjun nodded.

So that's what they did. That following Monday they all met outside the bar and walked to a bar together. Everyone was chatting away, all dressed up in their causal clothing, being like a normal group of friends.

Jungkook was laughing at a joke Kihyun had made, and turned his head to see Taehyung's hands stuffed deep into his pockets, trailing behind everyone. Jungkook smiled and nodded to himself, and turned around looking at the boss and waited for him to catch up.

"Hey" Jungkook smiled.
"Hey" Taehyung nodded his head in acknowledgement.
They walked side by side, with the group a few steps in front of them.
"How are you doing?" Jungkook asked softly.
"Yeah okay, you?" Tae said blankly not really having much an expression.
"Yeah I'm good. How was your day?" Jungkook questioned.
"Fine thanks, yours?"
"It was good, I spent most of my day in bed" Jungkook snorted.

"Hey losers, let's go here" Chae yelled, pointing at the bar.
They all nodded, and followed into the bar once they showed their ID's.
It wasn't too busy, nothing compared to crescent bar. But it was nice like that, they didn't have to worry about losing each other, but there was a good enough atmosphere to have a nice time.

"What should we all get?" Minjun questioned as they walked to the bar.
"I'll take a sex on the beach" Chae bounced around.
"I'll take a aspalls cider" Jackson said as he looked around seeing people jumping around and singing.
The others ordered, and all that was left was Jungkook and Taehyung.
"What do you want?" Taehyung asked Jungkook as he leaned on the bar.

"I'll have a coke and double shot vodka please" Jungkook replied, fiddling with his fingers, a habit he picked up when he was feeling slightly anxious or nervous. 
"Okay, drinks on me for the first round" Taehyung said as he paid for everyone's drink after ordering his and Jungkook's drinks too.
"Thanks boss, cheers to the best boss ever" Chae cheered, already being slightly tipsy from the pre drinks she had, nevertheless everyone cheered.

Taehyung smiled slightly as he felt slightly proud of himself that his employees liked him. Jungkook saw it, he saw how his lips curved upwards. He knew this mission might be difficult as Taehyung is a closed minded person when it comes to his own feelings. So even a slight curve in his smile is an achievement as it proves to Jungkook that he deserves it.

They all took a seat around a table, and were having small chats. Taehyung was talking to Jackson and Minjun about the boxing match which had happened recently. While Jungkook was talking to Chae about Chae's new love interest and was stalking the boys account. They had constantly got a flow of drinks, with everyone buying each other drinks.

"He's so handsome, don't you think" Chae squealed, passing her phone to Jungkook, letting him scroll through the boys posts.
"You know what he really is, he's actually quite hot, how long have you been talking for him for? He looks like a nice person" Jungkook questioned.
"Uhm like 3 weeks, but he's so sweet. He wants to take me on a date" She beamed happily.
"Awh Chae I'm so happy for you" Jungkook smiled ruffling her hair softly.

"Come on Kook let's go dance" Chae grabbed Jungkook's hand and pulled him to the dance floor.
The two jumped up and down to the songs, smiling widely. Soon later some of the others followed, dancing with their friends, feeling the music and letting the alcohol run through their bodies.

Jungkook swung his hips side to side placing his arms up in their air with his eyes shut, as his hips moved to the music.  Someone from a distance was watching the boy, studying the younger, respectfully obviously. He couldn't tell if it was the alcohol talking or it was his inner self, but something was telling Taehyung to go over and wrap his arms around the boy.

As he was having this inner conflict he didn't realise that the boy he was staring at was walking his way and was now standing in front of him and grabbing his hand.

Taehyung's eyes widened when his soft hands touched his own. Their fingers laced together with Jungkook pulling the male off his chair.
"Come dance with me" Jungkook whispered, looking up at the man with soft eyes with a light hue across his cheeks.
Taehyung ignored his inner voice telling him to say no, and allowed the younger to drag him to the dance floor.

Jungkook had only had a few drinks but the alcohol was hitting him quickly and him holding Tae's hand without a second of hesitation was all down to the alcohol giving him the confidence.

Jungkook swung his hips to the side again in front of his boss without a care in the world. Taehyung watched the younger, studying his face. He couldn't lie to himself, he was stunning, so so beautiful, he already knew that he was beautiful, from the second they met each other. Taehyung had never had this sort of attraction to someone before. Mainly because he's never been close to someone like he was with Jungkook. Jungkook was the only one to see him in a bad state and accept it. That's one of millions.

Taehyung was in a daze, and he couldn't get out of it. His heart raced every time he looked at the younger, or how the boy took his hand into his own so gently. All these emotions which he's been burying for the last few months, swarmed to his mind and clouded it all in one go. He was ready for this swarm, he didn't expect it. He assumed that what he was feeling was nothing, but this closeness of the younger was addictive.

"Tae" Jungkook whispered as he leaned close to the males ear. "Relax" Jungkook placed his hands softly on his shoulders, in a way of making him to not be so tight and statue like.

"Hey guys, I've ordered a round of tequila shots" Chan called them over to the bar.
Jungkook yet again took the elders hand and pulled him to the bar with skips in his stride.
Taehyung couldn't help but bite back a smile. The boy was smiling so much, and he was being so touchy, everything just screamed ecstasy.
When he drinks he doesn't smile, but he's blaming it on the alcohol as an excuse.

They all downed their shots along with the salt and lemon and all cheered again before some of them went outside for a cigarette.

"Seems like you and Jungkook are close?" Jackson mentioned to the boss.
"Hmm, no more than I am with any of you" Taehyung shrugged, inhaling the cigarette, and blowing it up into the night sky, Jackson was older than him so he wasn't going to back chat him or ignore him.

"Sure, I mean I don't mean to press or anything, but he's great. That kid has a pure heart. Honestly I think you both like each other, but one of you is in denial and the other maybe figuring out how to show their love. Take it or leave it, I'll let you chose what you want to do with that information..."

"But if you want my advise, I would think about the present and not let the past haunt you, because you both deserve each other. Anyways I'm gonna get another drink, do you want one?" Jackson smiled brushing his clothes down.
"Uh n-no thanks, I'm gonna stay here for a little longer" Taehyung gasped out, still in the state of shock from what Jackson had just blurted out.

Taehyung looked up at the stars, admiring the sky, like he did every night. He shut his eyes taking in the smoke, loving the feeling of it taking up his lungs.
He heard the door open and he looked to the side to see who it was. And of course it was no other than Jungkook who was walking straight towards him.
