Jungkook slammed his now empty beer can on the counter and I wasn't far behind, only a few people even paying attention at this point, being too busy talking to each other or drinking their own drink. It would be a little bit until things started going south but I figured we should end this game here.

Namjoon slid a new can to the table, offering to go first. "We're going to go to the bathroom."

"Game already started, you have to say." Taehyung used his hand holding his beer to point to the can that Namjoon had stuck a single playing card in.

I sighed and stayed put, watching as this process continued once again. It missed Jungkook and I, and seemed to almost bust when it reached Taehyung but it didn't. It reached me once again and my heart sank as the can made the dreadful opening sound, everyone cheering loudly like they had done every time. 

All I could do was sigh and begin to take out the cards that were stacked up, way less than the previous round. "What, your not going to drink with her when she drank with you?" I heard Taehyung's voice and I looked up at him, keeping my head down.

"I don't want him to."

"It's a party, the goal is to drink." Taehyung said and I gave him the meanest look I could come up with. What the hell was his problem?

I looked sideways at Jungkook who was making his way behind Namjoon to get his own drink. I silently let out a breath of dread and then picked up my drink. Looking at him and waiting for is go, which he gave me and we chugged our drinks once again. This time everyone was watching us when we set the empty can back on the counter.

Taehyung was almost laughing as I wiped my mouth, quickly turning away and walking from the table to be away from whatever game he was trying to play with me. I didn't know if Jungkook would follow me but at this point I didn't care because he was doing this to himself even with me trying to help him.

I didn't recognize anyone walking around me which just reminded me how new I as here, all I knew to do was look for the bathroom. There was artwork on the walls on a spiral staircase that I ignored at I looked for any door I could find, opening one in a small hallway which only led to a closet with a single vacuum cleaner in it. I shut it and searched for another, seeing a room with the light coming from the cracked door. When I opened it I saw the toilet and sink, relieving me as I walked in.

I shut the door behind me and tried to take a breath, realizing now that I was really drunk when I looked at myself in the mirror. My face was now red and my eyes were a little more squinted than usual. I pushed my hair off my face and pulled out my phone. Doing the the only thing I could think of in this moment. I'm dying here. 

I figured Jude wouldn't answer me anytime soon and was planning to just slide my phone back in my pocket but someone knocked on the door. Assuming it was Jungkook, I pushed it open and was taken aback seeing who was standing there.

"You okay?" Jimin asked me. 

I nodded my head and began to walk out and brush pass him but he stopped me, making me turn and face him. "Taehyung is a little blunt. And he gets worse at places like this."

I furrowed my eyebrows, confused by why Taehyung would get weird at parties and slightly more confused why Jimin was the one to come check on me. I knew Jimin, he was the guy Namjoon waved at in my second class but we didn't talk to each other at all. "Where is Jungkook?"

"I think he went to go sit on a couch, some girl went with him." I was relieved that he quit playing the game and that someone new was talking to him but I wasn't happy about me being away from him when I didn't really know anyone else.
