From taetae:
party tonight at E's! don't miss it. spread the word.

Jungkook looks up from his phone to take a long look at his best friend who's sitting right beside him. He waits for him to look back at him but he doesn't, he's too focused on his bright, huge phone.

Jungkook has always wondered what's the need to have such a big phone. he preferred one that fits perfectly into his hand, his pocket and one that wouldn't fall out. Taehyung however, loves to carry around a phone that is ten times bigger than him.

Taehyung has big hands which is probably why he doesn't like small phones. Jungkook thought and then realises he was staring at the boys hands like a creep.

Jungkook turns away, reading the message again. "I'm sitting right next to you, couldn't you just have told me the message?"

Taehyung waves his hand at his best friend, not saying anything and keeps his eyes glued to the addicting screen of his phone.

Minutes pass and a deep voice breaks the silence. "You're coming aren't you?"

Jungkook scoffs. "No."

"Why not?" Taehyung whines and puts his phone away. His brown eyes cloud Jungkook's view and he's more than aware that Taehyung is probably thinking of all the ways to persuade him to come to a wild, wasteful party.

It makes Jungkook glad when someone takes their attention away from their phone. He believes society cares more about phones than other people. "I don't like parties." He simply states.

He doesn't. He'd rather be alone and listen to music or hang out with his friends. The smell of alcohol, the claustrophobic rooms, the crazed amount of people is all too dreadful for Jungkook. He understands why they're fun to some people but to him, they're boring. People waste away a night, falling in love with alcohol, just to wake up and forget what happened.

Taehyung stands up, slipping his phone into the back pocket of his jeans. "Why?"

Jungkook stands up too and rolls his eyes at how forgetful his best friend can be. "The last time I went to one, I fainted and puked because a girl said freaking hello to me."

Taehyung's face immediately lights up with a smile as he recalls the amusing memory. "You're so funny around girls. Please come Kookie. I'll look after you. I always do."

"Tae." Jungkook sighs and moves to stand in the middle of Taehyung's apartment. There's nothing except for a white couch and a glass table. He doesn't understand why his best friend wants him to come so badly when quite frankly, Kim Taehyung is a man of popularity. "I'd rather not. It's not a Jungkook thing."

"Why are you acting like you've never been to one?" Taehyung rolls his eyes, watching Jungkook with an annoyed look, he just really wants him to come. "Anyway, what is a Jungkook thing?"

"Staying at his friends apartment, eating all his food, dancing and playing video games." Jungkook says, giving a look that says, you should know.

Taehyung had just moved into a new apartment at the beginning of summer, which is turning out to be Jungkook's second home. He spends more time here than he does with his dad at home.

The only reason why Jungkook didn't move out with Taehyung is because he doesn't like the idea of his dad living alone. He wants to keep him company and plus, Jungkook can't afford to pay rent when he has no job.

"Shall we go now?" Taehyung asks, dropping the subject of the party ... for now.

Jungkook swings his keys around as he follows after him, trailing behind. "Yeah. Let's go fill up your fridge."

Jungkook loves grocery shopping. He finds it fun choosing all his favourite snacks. It's amusing to watch Taehyung be serious with glasses on the bridge of his nose and a scruffy paper list in his hand. The boy doesn't look like he knows what he's doing.

Jungkook claims that he's useful when it comes to grocery shopping but he's secretly slipping junk food into the shopping trolley with a slight smirk on his face. Chocolate cupcakes, noodles, energy drinks, cookies shaped like bunnies and a pack of pads which he can't wait for Taehyung to find.

"Can you get the cereal?" Taehyung seeks, still looking at his tattered shopping list. "Hey! Kookie! Big box, top shelf."

Jungkook looks at him, not listening properly because he becomes distracted by the next item to place in the shopping trolley. He puts down the baby food with a pout and reaches upwards to grab the blue cereal box. Taehyung could've easily reached it but he loves to use Jungkook.

Eventually, Jungkook gets bored and starts walking away from Taehyung with the shopping trolley. He finds a Star Wars light saber, lighting into a vivid green and he immediately runs to hit Taehyung's bottom with it.

"Get me one then." Taehyung laughs and shoves his scrap list into his pocket.

The two end up playing in the toys aisle, forgetting about what they came for. Jungkook's loud "LET'S GET IT" and Taehyung's fake, dramatic death which involved him lying on the floor with his hand on his chest, eyes closed, involved the two of them getting a lot of weird looks from other customers.

An hour later, they're at the till, ready to pay and Jungkook helps to bag the items whilst observing the young girl who's working at the cashier. High ponytail, cream coloured skin and she's clearly a person who doesn't like eye contact. She's quiet and he notices how her cheeks flush when Taehyung attempts to start a conversation. It's a great day isn't it? Taehyung asks, despite the rain outside. She says nothing and smiles.

Jungkook thanks her when they leave and she looks at him briefly before nodding. Taehyung tells her to have a good day and skips along with his items, challenging Jungkook to a race to the car.

Jungkook knows summer is just starting but he can't help but think about university and when he'll start. He's nervous but excited. His thoughts are everywhere as he stares out of the window. The thought of being in a big city with strangers, having a new start is overwhelming. His best friend joining him lessens the nerves though.

His thoughts are interrupted when exhausted Taehyung shouts from the empty kitchen. "Jungkookie? Why the fuck would we need pads for?"
