Intoxicating [VMinkook]

King and Queen

Who knew the day of the reunion would come just as fast after the idea was first brought to the table.

Ever since the word spread about it, figuring a day was a bit of a hassle due to everyone's schedule being all over the place, but eventually everyone came to consensus on a Saturday and for the meeting to be at a restaurant beside the Seven Luck Casino - where they're planning on heading to right after - if everyone was in the mood for it.

And based on Johnny, everyone is attending.

That doesn't have Jimin as anxious as his two best friends on either side of him are, who can't even stand properly as the three arrive outside the building of the restaurant - dressed in their formal wear - and unable to keep still.

It's even starting to make Jimin feel nervous by how they kept shuffling in panic.

He literally just arrived two days ago from Italy - Since that's where he's living now after his divorce with Taemin. The two boys picked him up from the airport and well, they got wasted as fuck in Taehyung's living room. Anyways, they definitely caught each other up to what's going on, well, everything better in person with Jimin.

Especially expressing their nerves for this day.

Tonight.

Jimin hasn't seen Taemin since the divorce. Jeongguk with Ten and Woosung four months ago. And Taehyung with Minho after college, so for two years.

And today will be the first time they'll face them again.

"Shit, I'm so fucking nervous," Taehyung shutters quietly, rubbing the collar of his cafe colored blouse, "What if...."

His voice trails off, making both Jeongguk and Jimin glance at him to see him shutter a little in his breath before his composure became more..... Stable.

He stands up right, his expression now more calm while he shuffles his hand inside the pocket of his brown dressed pants.

"Guess we're all a bit of a mess."

Jimin recognized that cursive tone from anywhere, and he twitches a smile before nudging Karma's shoulder, "You're excited to see Minho, don't deny it."

Karma didn't move a muscle, but suddenly - just barely - a twitch nudges at the corner of his lip when Jeongguk suddenly came to his other side, clinging onto his arm.

"You're my shield," He says quietly, eyes still to the restaurant, "I physically can't walk on my own in there."

Jeongguk sure hasn't changed much throughout the years, but definitely has become a bit more talkative than before. Still an innocent little bean, but he undoubtably sure has grown to get a bit more of a spine when he needs to demonstrate it.

Except for this moment.

You could say he didn't end in the greatest terms with his partners, as you all know now.

Can't blame him, it wasn't as smooth as any of them thought it was going to be.

"Alright," Karma sighs, extending his other arm to Jimin, who instantly wraps it with his, "Let's face some demons tonight."

That definitely was not helpful.

Jeongguk squeaks a little under his breath, but Karma only drags both boys to the entrance of the dark restaurant. The place is large, but with a very dark and formal just oozing the atmosphere - strictly business. Johnny made sure to warn everyone to have enough stacks of cash on them because this definitely won't be a cheap night ahead of them.

Good thing they all saved up for this moment.

So the three friends made it up to the host at the front of the restaurant, giving him Johnny's name and instead of leading them to the main area where everyone is by the lower level, he guided them up a staircase.
