14 September, Friday

"Starting the timer in three, two, one. Go!" Felix and Minho cheered Jisung on as he tried to down 10 shots in less than a minute. The dimly lit blue and purple lights shone above them, the music loud and the air full of the smells of weed, alcohol and sweat.

"Times up!" Felix yelled over the music just as Jisung downed his last shot.

"What the fuck!?" A flushed Minho laughed, "You're not making it past 30."

The three drunk friends were in the club celebrating Jisung's twenty-third birthday. He had said all he wanted for his birthday was for his friends to put on some slutty outfits and get extremely wasted at the club, and that's exactly what they did.

"Minho, aren't your parents gonna kill you for this?" Felix asked, finally putting his phone down.

"Only if they find out." Minho winked and downed another shot.

"Wait, waitwaiwai, I want to make a toast!" Jisung stumbled closer to his two friends, "May our night be as lit as my future! And my- " he fell forward, Minho catching him while Felix laughed.

"Your night is about to end if you don't slow the fuck down!" Felix said and hit his shoulder.

Jisung stood up and closed his eyes as Minho balanced tried to balance him, which proved to be difficult since he was just as drunk. "But Felix, it's my birthdaaaaayyyyyy."

Felix had already logged out of the conversation as he started patting his pockets and looking around frantically.

"Why? What's wrong, what are you looking for?" Minho asked.

"Where's my vape?" He sounded stressed.

"It's in your hand, you idiot." Jisung laughed, "Holy shit, just as drunk as I am."

"Shut up." Felix said and took a hit. He inhaled the smoke before breathing it out through his nose.

"Minho, you try doing it!" Jisung said to his best friend.

"Doing what?"

"10 shots in 1 minute." Jisung said.

"I would like to keep my liver."

"Booooo, we can get you a new one if it starts failing." Jisung rolled his eyes, "Come on, just try if. Felix will do it, too." Jisung nudged Felix to help him convince Minho.

"I am?" Felix held the smoke in his mouth, "I am." He quickly said after seeing Jisung's threatening gaze.

"Fine." Minho rolled his eyes, "I swear you're gonna kill me these days." He said as a smiley Jisung poured the shots for him.

"I'm starting the timer!" Felix said.

A phone kept chiming. Messages after messages coming through. Jisung groaned and opened his eyes, his late night and early morning activities catching up to him as his body ached. He searched around him for the phone, which had cut his sleep shorter. He reached his hand to the floor and finally found it.

Twenty-seven missed calls and eighty-one texts. He looked closer as he realised that it was Minho's phone. The phone rang again, the caller ID showing who Jisung knew to be Minho's dad.

Groggily, he sat up in bed and answered the phone. "Mr Lee? It's Jisung." Jisung said into the phone, his voice hoarse from alcohol and having just woken up.

"Good morning, Jisung-ah. Where is Lee Minho?"

Oh shit. Jisung fully woke up and quickly shook his friend, who was lying next to him. "Here he is, just one second." Jisung said into the phone before putting it far from his mouth to whisper hell at Minho.
