High On You | chensung

Jisung would never turn down the chance to get shitfaced and black out at a party.

Which is why the teenaged boy waited until the middle of the night, while everyone was sleeping, to sneak out with yangyang. Of course jisung was a legal adult and donghyuck wasn't his parent or guardian, but he didn't need any more lectures or to asked to see a psychologist. Jisung felt he didn't need therapy, he needed to forget.

What a better way to do so than getting black-out drunk?

Jisung waited for yangyang's text before sneaking out the back door. Almost immediately after he hopped into yangyang's car, jisung was handed some marijuana by hendery, one of yangyang's boyfriends. Apparently dejun, yangyang's other boyfriend, had already smoked before leaving.

Jisung didn't know who's party they were attending, but the boys had never brought him to a boring party.

The person's mansion party was neatly decorated by fairy lights on the exterior. You could see young people crowded around the pool and into the hallways through the windows. The inside had colored lights flashing throughout.

Jisung didn't attend parties for fun, he attended them so he could forget everything for a few hours.

In a matter of minutes, jisung was on a sweaty dance floor amongst his friends and many others. He'd already smoked a few times and drank any alcoholic beverage that came his way.

This was just who he was.

Jisung thought he was going to be able to sneak back into the house at seven in the morning.

He was wrong.

All the doors were locked, meaning he had to knock on the door and wake the house up.

Surprisingly, everyone was awake and enjoying breakfast. Jaemin, renjun and jeno had even made their way back to the house.

"Jisung." donghyuck deadpanned as he opened the front door to the house. Before anything else was said, donghyuck stepped outside and closed the door behind him. "You had chenle worried sick."

"Sorry." jisung was extremely hungover and didn't need anymore lecturing.

"Don't say 'sorry' if you don't fucking mean it." donghyuck spoke through gritted teeth. Donghyuck knew not to get too aggressive with the boy but he could be taught a lesson for a change.

"I know you have your own shit going on in that head of yours, but you don't need to pull anyone else into your bullshit." the older male scolded him. "Chenle is infatuated by you and the last thing anyone needs is for him to be heartbroken over an addict."

"You don't know what the fuck you're talking about." jisung finally spat back.

"Jisung, I love you, but you need to seek help. Drinking and doing drugs will only last you so long before you end up killing yourself." donghyuck was now on the verge of tears as he expressed his concerns for his younger cousin.

"I don't need help." jisung said for the nth time.

Donghyuck sighed in defeat before opening the door for the both of them. He'd been trying to get him to see a therapist for years but he guessed the boy would just have to learn the hard way.

As expected, jisung was immediately greeted with a tight hug from jaemin. Chenle sprung up from his seat on the sofa to hug jisung as well but sent a death glare to jaemin once he reached him first.

"God, jaemin, we saw each other less than a day ago." jisung softly set the shorter boy back in his original place on the floor.

"Whenever you disappear, no one knows when we'll expect to see you again." jaemin retorted as he returned back to his seat beside jeno.

"What do you mean?" chenle asked.

Jaemin, jeno, donghyuck and jisung all exchanged knowing looks while the the others looked at them confusedly. "Who wants to help me clean the kitchen? Jisung needs a shower." donghyuck took his chance at changing the subject, which worked since mark leaped up to help him.

Jisung excused himself from the room so he could shower and restore his high, ignoring the weird looks from renjun.
