Start from the beginning
                                    

"Let's go!" Hoseok yelled while grabbing my hand.

"Hyung, please don't do this. You're making things harder for
m—"

"Excuse Mr. Hoseok, but can you examine these— oh, I'm sorry sir. I didn't know that you were with somebody," Taehyung apologized as he looked at them both with confusion.

"It's not like that!! It's not what you think it is" Jungkook explaines as he forcefully let go of Hobi's hand.

"O-okay then. I'll be leaving now"

I hope that Taehyung doesn't get the wrong idea. Aish! Damn this careless Hoseok!

Taehyung's POV

O-K-A-Y! Now that was
a w k w a r d in so many ways!! Just what exactly is happening? Are those two actually dating? Aish, I don't wanna know and I don't really care.

I searched for my phone, surprised to see the time. 2:30 am. It was an unknown number.

"Hello? Do you know what time is it? Who are you? What do you want from me?"

"Hello? This is Taehyung-ssi right? It's me! Jungkook-ah! Do you want to have drinks with me?" he said with slurred speach.

"Jungkook-ssi! Are you drunk? Are you with someone?"

"N-no no no no! I'm all by myselffffffffff!" he started singing.

"Okay okay. Where are you right now?"

"Me? Do you know me? Hello? This Jungkook of Bangtan Enterprises! Ramyeon is..."

What is this guy saying exactly?

"Hello? Jungkook-ssi?"

"Excuse me, customer. I'm an employee of BTS bar and here's your bill," I heard someone say in the background.

I hung up the phone and got dressed. I visited Jimin in his room sleeping like an angel.

"Hyung will be back,"

I drove to BTS bar which was about 5 km far from our house and searched for Jungkook.

"Jungkook-ssi?" I asked as I grabbed his shoulder.

"Oh! It's Taehyung! H-how did you you know t-that I was here? Oh? Annyeonghaseyo! My name is Jungkook! I'm a complete freak and no one likes me for who I really am! I was left by my boyfriend four years ago and never contacted me again! T-then he suddenly showed up recently and asked me to start over again. What should I do eomma (mom)?"
Jungkook whinned.

I gazed at him for as long as I can remember. He looked so sad. I wanted to comfort him.

"Jungkook-ssi? This is Taehyung, your co-worker! I'm not your mom," I chuckled.

"You've had a lot to drink today. Let's get going" I added.

"Hmmgvdahhfvbdfjbv eomma! Eomma! I miss you so muchhhhh~! Why did you leave us? Huh? Everyone in my life leaves me!! Oh? It's Taehyung! Ya! Taehyung-ah! Wanna have a drink with me?"

"Jungkook-ah. You're really drunk. Let's go now"

"No! Don't leave me Taehyung-ah! Not you too! Why is everyone leaving me?" Jungkook mumbled as he started crying.

"Jungkook, it's okay. I won't leave you. I'll just take you home."

I hugged him. He hugged me back too as he cried leaning on my chest.

"Jungkook-ah! Where do you live?" I questioned him while giving him a ride on my back.

"Hmabgahahahjavh...My name is Jungkook...bahabbahaj"

I put him down on a nearby bench and searched for his wallet to look for his ID.

Jeon Jungkook
Born on July 30, 1998
Age: 22 years old
Lives at: Kimchi street, House #98, Dobong-dong

Oh, he lives nearby! I decided to keep carrying him on my back and walk all the way to their house. On the way, he fell asleep on my shoulder like a baby.
________________________________
Jungkook's house was enormous! I mean, he lives by himself right? I gently woke him up.

"Jungkook-ah! Jungkook-ah! Wake up! We're here!"

Wow! Now this is a sleepy head!

"Uhhajabahajahavh I'm gonna throw up!"

I can't believe he threw up on my jacket. This won't do. I took him to the nearest convinience store and bought him a drink.

"Jungkook-ah! Jungkook-ah! Here, drink this" I complained as I gave him the drink.

"Hmmmgahnahah. I can't—
I can't—"

"Can't what?" I worried.

"I can't open it Hoseok-ah!"

"AISH! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU I'M TAEHYUNG!" I snapped.

I can see on his face that he was so shook when I shouted. He suddenly grabbed the drink and drank it all. In one shot.

"Are you sober now? Drink more"

I handed him another bottle and he gulped it again in one shot.

"I-I t-thi-think I'm s-s-so-sober
n-now"

"I think so too. Now that you're stuttering again."
