Taehyung's POV

Because we had no other choice, we did as you asked us to do and gave you the wine knowing the fact that we would regret it later on. It was your sixth time swallowing your drink in one go.

"Enough. Now, you can stop." I ordered while trying to take the glass from your hand but you lifted it up sticking your tongue out..

"Nooo. I just started drinking." Taking the support of the table, you stood on your chair. Panicking, I stood up from my chair and held your hand so that you wouldn't fall.

"What are you doing? Get down right now." I tried to sound as intimidating as I could but it was all in vain.

"Oi, Kim Taehyung. As I have told you before too, stop worrying about me. Nosy!" You scoffed before tapping the tip of your middle finger on my nose tip and freed your other hand out of my grasp and climbed on top of the table. Taken aback, I just stood there open-mouthed.

You took one of the empty bottles of wine and brought it close to your mouth. We were all watching you except Yoongi hyung. He was asleep, resting his head on the table. He was pretty tired as he had been working non stop on the songs for days and today he wanted to rest and was about to go to sleep early but couldn't do it because of all the chaos you were creating.

"SO! LAAADIIIIIES ANN-"

"Woah! What?!" Yoongi hyung almost jumped from his chair, startled and fully awake thanks to a certain someone.

"Why you?" He looked at you with pure distaste, "What do you want now?" And groaned.

You cluelessly gazed at him. He sighed seeing your current state, "Can't you let me sleep, Miss?"

"Mia. Her name is Mia." Namjoon hyung said.

"Whatever. I couldn't care less," He lazily waved his finger at you. "if she was Mia Khalifa. Right now she's a random drunkard for me."
He narrowed his eyes at you, "And you little. You listen to me-"

"Heyy! Don't shout at me. Today is my birthday. What is today?" With big round, hopeful eyes you stared at us for a response.

"Your Birthday." We all said in unison, reluctantly.

"Which is going to end in two hours." Yoongi hyung remarked in an inaudible voice.

You smiled and sat down on the table, crossing your legs. Your eyes started exploring every corner of the lobby as your gaze stopped at one place. You screamed and pointed at something with your finger, arm stretched out. We all looked in that direction and saw,

karaoke.

We shot our karaoke run episode a few days ago. Why didn't our staff take it back? You started coming down from the table and was about to fall but I grabbed you and landed your feet on the ground safely.

"Let's go!" You screeched, raising your hands up and moved towards the machine. We all got up from our chairs to follow your action as Yoongi hyung grumbled, "I just wanted to rest. God, was it too much to ask?"

But seeing Jimin smiling at you, he seemed to like it. A Little.
Yoongi hyung noticed and hissed at Jimin, "What are you smiling for? Is it that much fun for you to babysit a drunkard?"

Jimin just shrugged at his words and moved ahead.

You made all the arrangements making everyone sit in a circle, on top of the cushions. You still had that wine bottle as your mic piece.

"So friends,"

"Friends?" Yoongi hyung said, raising his eyebrows. "When did this happen-"

The leader elbowed him. "You continue." He spoke.

"Don't interrupt me again, okay? So, guys. There are rules you have to follow. First, each member will sing only English songs. Because I don't know much about Korean songs, alright?" You asked, we nodded.

"Second, feel the songs, enjoy the songs. That's it! Now, let's start!" You enthusiastically ended your speech as Jimin clapped. We all turned our faces towards him. With a completely dumbfounded look I stared at him as he just gave me a 'What's wrong?' look before stopping the applause.

"I'll go first." Jimin rose from his seat and this time you clapped for him. He went towards you as you passed him the real mic to start.

"Name?"

"You don't know my name?" He sounded too stunned.

"That's why I'm asking." You stated and I chuckled at your straightforwardness. Even though you were drunk you were still the same. Arrogant as ever.

"Jimin. Don't forget." He said with a smirk and a wink as I cleared my throat, involuntarily.

"Let's start now." I insisted.

"Go, Jiminie oppa." You cheered in a sweet, cute voice and every cell in my body knew that I didn't like it.

Jiminie? Oppa?

Forget oppa. You never called me Tae for once.

I grabbed an extra cushion aggressively. "Butterfly." You looked where I was sitting as I gestured you to come and sit. I placed that cushion next to me. You came and sat on it. The music started playing and the song was

We don't talk anymore.

I glanced at Jungkook and his eyes were shining bright.

"Hey, Jimin-shiii. You can't sing this song without me!" He shouted and dashed towards Jimin to join him.

Jimin started singing first.

'We don't talk anymore, we don't talk anymore.'

'We don't talk anymore, like we used to do.'

As soon as his honey-like voice hit the notes, everyone got mesmerized. They started cheering softly.

"Woah! Jimin-ahh." Hoseok hyung exclaimed in appreciation. But my eyes were only resting on you. You were also having your time. You were clapping, smiling, waving your head in rhythm with the melody.

I didn't even know when I started grinning from ear to ear, just like an idiot. The bubble of my imaginary world bursted and I came to my senses when someone coughs. I turned to face the person.

"Y...Yes? Jin hyung." I said, stuttering.

"Give a little attention to the front too. Our main vocalist is about to sing." A teasing tone played in his words as he spoke with a smug smile on his face.

Gawky, I turned my head in front.

Jungkook took over the song with his melodious voice. They both finished the song very beautifully, capturing our hearts with their magic. Everyone hooted for them as both came back to their respective seats.

"Next?" You asked. Nobody dared to say anything.

"Umm...you. Mr. Dimples." You pointed at Namjoon hyung.

His eyes widened. "Me?" He asked for confirmation as you nodded.

"I can't sing. I'm a rapper." He protested.

"Then rap." You stated.

"Namjoon hurry up and just finish it." Jin hyung chimed in.

"Then join me." He suggested making the older one shocked.

"Why?"

"So that it ends quickly." He said, smirking. Jin hyung sighed and got up from his seat.
"Just so it can be finished quickly." and went towards karaoke. Namjoon hyung followed him. Both were deciding which song to choose. And they chose,

Seoul town road.

Namjoon hyung hit the stage first with his raspy voice as Jin hyung rapped in his soft voice making us shocked. I heard a snoring sound and looked around only to find that Yoongi hyung fell asleep, yet again.

How could he sleep so peacefully in such loud noises?

Hobi hyung also got hyped up and joined them in singing. Soon we were all singing along with them.

'Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the Seoul town road'

'I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more'

'I'm gonna take my horse to the Seoul town road'

'I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more'

A round of applause echoed as soon as the music stopped. Yoongi hyung was half asleep, so now it was my turn to go. You looked at me and gave me a thumbs-up to cheer myself. Unknowingly, I smiled at your action before getting up from my place and picked the mic to sing.

"Woohoo! Mr. Kim Taehyung!" You screamed, cheering at me.

Huh! Mr. Kim Taehyung. Can't you call me oppa too? Even tae is fine!

An annoying feeling rushed in my blood as I took my eyes off you with an angry huff and started looking towards other members.

Everyone was screaming, hooting for me and the loudest voice was yours which made it harder for me to not look at you. Now Yoongi hyung too, had woken up and was trying hard not to fall asleep by forcing his eyelids to stay open.

Finally, music started and the song was

Lay me down.

My eyes gazed at you as my hands shook a little. I was nervous for sure. Taking a deep breath I put more pressure on my grip around the mic and soothed myself before I opened my mouth to sing.

'Can I lay by your side? Next to you, to you'

'And make sure you're alright'

'I'll take care of you'

Everyone fell silent including you. Only the sound of the music from the karaoke machine and my deep voice was echoing in the lobby. Not even once, my eyes looked away from you. Your smiling face changed with an unreadable expression, you only stared back at me, blankly.

'And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight'

Singing the lyrics, I walked towards your direction whilst extending my hand. You put your hand in mine and got up from your seat. I came closer to you, reducing the distance between us.

'Lay me down tonight'

Slowly I released your hand before putting it down and placed mine near your face.

'Lay me by your side'

With my fingers, I tucked your hair strand behind your ear and gently stroked your cheek with the back of my palm. You closed your eyes in response much to my surprise.

'Can I lay by your side? Next to you, you'

Your lips trembled as a tear trickled down from the corner of your eye and I wiped it with my thumb.

"Now it's your turn-"

I got cut in the middle when all the weight of your body fell on me. I put my hand on your back to support you.

"Finally!" Yoongi hyung shouted in relief. He got up and marched towards his room with the speed of light. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Soon after everyone got up from their respective seats and went to their own rooms before giving me a ── 'Sorry Not Sorry' look. I tossed the mic over a cushion. Carrying you in my arms I entered my room.

I laid you down on my bed and was about to straighten up but out of nowhere you put your hands around my neck and pulled me closer. I got caught off guard by your sudden action. Startling, before I could hold myself I stumbled over you with my lips over yours.

My eyes widened in utter shock.
