“Kids let me tell you a story of how I met your father…”

Taehyung and his friends, Seokjin, Namjoon, Jimin, Hoseok, and Yoongi all sat at their booth at their local bar. The location of said bar being just under the apartment complex Taehyung, Seokjin, and Namjoon shared an apartment in. Jimin and Hoseok lived in the richer part of Seoul, and Yoongi lived in a different part to the other five. They sat in their favourite booth, which wasn't too far from the bar but not too far from the bathrooms either. It was in the middle but up against the back wall. The bar itself wasn't too busy for a Wednesday night but still had a decent number of people.

They each had their drink of choice. Which was a bottle of the cheapest beer they could get. Living on a budget in a busy city, whilst living with roommates to even out the rent, it was the best thing they could do.

This particular night was no exception to the wacky ways Jimin and Hoseok would try and pick up both guys and girls. Just for some fun rather than a relationship. They do try and bring Taehyung into their wacky shenanigans, and sometimes he does indulge. Other times, he doesn't give them the satisfaction.

“Come on, Taehyung! We need a third if we want to get with this group! It'll be the best six way ever!” Jimin exclaimed as he tried to talk the other into coming with them to an event with three other girls.

“I said it before, and I'll say it again, No” Taehyung didn't even look at the male who stood there in his daily suit. “Besides, Seokjin and Namjoon need help getting that weird lamp out of the apartment”

“But-”

“No” Taehyung shook his head as he took a sip of his beer.

“But Taehyung, come on-” Jimin huffed.

“No,” Taehyung laughed. “Hoseok and you go have fun, and you can tell us about your sex adventures tomorrow”

“Fine!” Jimin sighed and walked away to the exit of the bar where Hoseok was talking to the group of three girls. “Sorry girls, but it'll just be us two tonight!”

Taehyung sighed as he heard the girls whine softly before leaving the bar with Hoseok and Jimin.

“Why do you join them some days while other days you don't Tae?” Seokjin asked from across the small square table of their booth.

“Some days I wanna see how their plans go. Other days, I just don't want to” He shrugged. “It's depends on if I want a hangover or not the next day” Taehyung replied honestly.

“And you don't tomorrow?” Namjoon asked sarcastically.

“No I do not” Taehyung replied. “Besides, I do need to help you get rid of that weird lamp we have”

The weird lamp was one of those long ones, the one with the base and big lamp shade but stood on a tall pole. Any time one of them tried to throw it away, it would come right back to their apartment. So they thought, why not all three of them try?

“You guys tried to put it in the garbage, right?” Yoongi raised an eyebrow. “Why not put it in the bermuda triangle outside your apartment?”

The bermuda triangle, as they call it, is a spot on the sidewalk outside their apartment where they would place what they didn't want anymore, and it would disappear within an hour. They haven't figured out what happens to the objects, but as long as it's gone, it's not their problem.

“Oh yeah, we could do that,” Seokjin nodded. “And, we could watch what happens to it!” He pointed out.

“We can do that in the morning” Taehyung replied before he went to take another sip of beer to find it empty. “But for now, I need another beer”
