Sugar Rush

"Another one."

Jungkook turned around and saw a man probably in his 30s splay out on the counter, totally wasted and yet asking for another glass. He sighed. Why do people like these come during his shift only? He went to the man, "Sir, I think you should stop. We are closing the bar, so please pay up and leave."

The man chuckled and sniffled, "Fine, you can kick me out of your life too."

Jungkook rolled his eyes. Heartbroken men are the worst. He groaned, "Sir, I am not kicking out of anything. Just go home."

The man groaned, "Let me be, okay? Just leave me alone."

Jungkook closed his eyes and shook his head, "Fuck." He took out his phone, "Hello, hyung. Can you help me please?"

After closing the pub, he took the man with him and went out to wait for Taehyung. He was trying to make the man stand straight but the man was pitch drunk. He was blabbering something about being rejected even before he could confess. Jungkook rolled his eyes. The one-sided love was the worst. But he felt bad because had gone through it before. He patted the man's back, "It's okay. You'll be fine. Just let it go."

The man looked at Jungkook with teary eyes. He chuckled dryly, "Gosh you are so pretty. Why do you have to see me like this?"

Jungkook shook his head, "Just stay still and try to stand by yourself."

The man began to sob, "Why do I have to take care of myself? I don't want to take care of myself. You can just leave me here."

Jungkook sighed, "Cry as much as you want. I won't leave you here just because you are miserable."

The man sniffled and smiled at Jungkook through his tears. Jungkook's eyes went wide as he saw the beautiful smile. It was like the sun shining brightly through the clouds of sadness. The smile wasn't that wide but it was so painful that Jungkook was moved to his core.

Jungkook held him properly so that he wouldn't fall down, "What's your name?"

The man's eyes were struggling to be open. He rested his head on Jungkook's shoulder, "My name is Jung Hoseok." He said something after that but Jungkook didn't hear it. All he could hear was that he was sad about something.

After about half an hour, a car stopped in front of the pub. Jungkook sighed in relief as Taehyung came out of the car and went directly to him. "Kookie-yah, what happened?"

Jungkook was standing outside the pub with Hoseok struggling to even stand straight by himself. He looked at him, "Sir, please at least stand straight."

Taehyung took Hoseok from Jungkook, "I'll handle him. Go, start the car." Jungkook huffed and nodded. Taehyung circled his hand around his waist and the other on his chest to stabilise the man. "Damn, how much did you drink?"

Hoseok looked at Taehyung. He narrowed his eyes and held Taehyung's jaw between his finger and thumb, "Oh, you are pretty as well. But where did the other pretty boy go?"

Taehyung rolled his eyes and made him sit on the back seat of the car. He quickly jogged to the passenger seat, "Do you have his address?"

Jungkook shook his head, "Too wasted. But look at him. I felt bad to leave him on the streets."

Taehyung raised his eyebrows, "Kookie..."

Jungkook started the engine and clicked his tongue, "I know. I know you said that we don't need another person in the relationship. And trust me, I stopped finding someone as well. But he was just too handsome. I am sorry."

Taehyung chuckled. He cupped Jungkook's cheek with his palm and caressed the cut on his cheekbone, "I trust you, baby. But always keep in mind the kind of judgement people always make when they come to know that you want all of us in one relationship. Remember, I don't mind adding someone to this relationship, but I don't want you to get hurt, okay?"

Jungkook nodded. Taehyung smiled sweetly as he kissed Jungkook's nose and then his lips. "Let's go home, baby."

As they reached home, Taehyung looked at Jungkook, "Where will he sleep?"

Jungkook huffed, "Let's make him sleep in our room. I'll go to sleep with Joonie hyung."

Taehyung nodded, "Then, I'll sleep with Jiminie." He kissed Jungkook on the side of the head, "Go to sleep. I'll take care of him."

Jungkook nodded, "Then, I'll go shower first."

The sunlight was way too bright out of the window. Hoseok groaned and turned around to try and sleep again. But the light was still not letting him sleep. He huffed and finally woke up. "Fuck, my head." He held his head in his hands as he tried to get rid of the headache. "Never drinking alone again. Ugh!"

He closed his eyes as he tried to remember what he did yesterday. He regretted doing that immediately. Of course. He was drinking to forget about Yoongi and his new date. He chuckled dryly. He never knew when the puppy crush he had on his hyung turned into a full-blown love? Seokjin always said it was a two-sided crush. But if it was two-sided, then why was Yoongi going on a date? Was he tired? Or was Soekjin lying? Of course, Seokjin was lying. He shook his head, if Yoongi was happy then he would have let him go.

He sighed and opened his eyes and immediately panicked. Where the fuck was he? He looked at himself and gasped. He was wearing a blue pyjama set with a weird character on it. He looked around for his phone and wallet but he couldn't find any. He stumbled out of the bed and navigated his way out to the living room but stopped as he heard people speaking.

"Oh, that's a really good thing to do." one of them said. "I am really glad you didn't leave him out there."

"Yeah. the dude would have definitely gotten mugged." Another voice spoke.

"Oh, by the way, I found things about Kim Seokjin. Apparently, he is stacked. And also shady. So be aware."

Hoseok's eyes went wide. Why were they talking about Seokjin? What the hell was going on?"

"What do you mean shady?"

"Whoever goes against him, somehow ends up missing. Like that person never existed."

Hoseok licked his lips and looked around. There was a flower vase on the table. He took the flowers out and held it by the head as he entered the living room.
