I was looking up at Taehyung who had just called me out, but my mind was all over the place and right now I just trying not to laugh at the expression overtaking his face. He had wrinkles lining his forehead from how hard he was pushing his eyebrows together and his hand ran through his hair.

I just covered my mouth and Jungkook grabbed my arm again, ignoring what Taehyung had said to me or maybe he didn't hear him. I don't know how he'd miss it though.

Taehyung looked dead at me and I kept the eye contact with him, almost challenging him. I realized it wasn't such a good idea when he came walking to me and Jungkook. Just as Jungkook's other hand grabbed the sliding door handle, Taehyung spoke. "We need to talk."

I could tell Jungkook was about to say something but I looked at him, giving him a look to let him know it was okay. If Jungkook was anybody else this probably wouldn't slide, but he trusted me, even in this very drunk state.

I crossed my arms over my chest when Jungkook was now no longer around us and inside. Almost everyone had cleared out of the backyard, but some still remained and were probably just too drunk to process everyone was leaving.

I just stared at Taehyung and he looked at everyone still there, a scowl on his face. "I'm not feeling good, I said leave." His attention was back at me and he was attempting to talk quietly but it wasn't working. "What the fuck, Josie?"

"What the fuck, Taehyung?" I mocked what he said, trying to make my voice lower to sound like his.

He huffed out a heavy breath, looking around at the people who were starting to finally head out. He was about to say something when Jimin appeared, speaking up. "C'mon man."

Taehyung turned to him, he was still filled with anger and I was scared something bad was going to happen. Now I wish Jungkook had stayed. "Stay out of this. You fucking did this."

I didn't want to interrupt because I knew they were good friends, and were way closer than I was to either of them but the alcohol in me was making me more brave. "Nothing even happened."

"You and Jungkook should just go home. I'm sorry." Jimin looked at me and I could tell he was really drunk, but he had to get it together to handle whatever was going to happen.

"Jimin, I'm not talking to you." Taehyung was talking through his teeth. Jimin being here was making him more angry and I could tell.

He was just looking at me and so I looked at Jimin, taking on this battle that I wish wasn't mine, I was biting my bottom lip to not laugh or just fall over and die. "Can I talk to him alone?"

Jimin was hesitant to oblige and Taehyung then turned to me and walked inside, grabbing ahold of my wrist and bringing me with him. This movement was way less that he was trying to be in control of me and mostly that he was helping me to not fall down.

"Don't take me to your 'secret' spot." I said sarcastically, knowing it wasn't so secret.

The look he turned back and gave me was indescribable, seeming to think I was just trying to push his limits. I knew now that he was being pushed.

I walked past Jungkook who stopped talking to Andie to look at me with all his focus, I just gave him a goofy smile and slid my hand back in Taehyung's to now hold it so it didn't look bad to Jungkook. Taehyung looked back at me like he was surprised I did this but continued to go up the stairs and up to his room.

He shut the door then leaned against it and I stood in front of him leaning on one leg with my arms crossed. I was so annoyed with him even in this very drunk and silly mental state. "What?!"
