"Long time no see. What brought you here?" Namjoon asked Taehyung.

"Booze. Party. Girls. Boys." Taehyung answered nonchalantly. Namjoon, who was behind the bar, gave him a glass of whiskey.

"I meant I haven't seen you for a long time." Namjoon said as he wiped a shot glass.

"Hyung, are you sure you want me to answer?"

"On second thought, no. Well...glad to have you back."

"No. Glad to have you back, hyung." Taehyung raised his glass before he gulped his whiskey. Namjoon smiled.

"What's with the stage?" Taehyung asked.

"I hired someone to sing. You know, just to have slow, chill nights. The party music gets tiring sometimes."

"Boring." He said unenthusiastically. "I'm going up."

"See you later, bro."

Taehyung was standing at the interior balcony, eyeing the people below. He shook his head as he realized that he's already 'met' most of the people in the bar. Maybe he could go a second time. But that was against his rules. He's contemplating when he spots a group of friends settling down in front of the mini-stage. He noticed one of them. Feisty Fay. He slowly nodded his head and made his way downstairs.

"Mind if I join you?" He said with his deep, suave voice.

Fay raised her eyebrow and answered, "We do mind. Get lost."

He quietly laughed. She's amusing. He found her annoyance of him entertaining. He wondered how many hours would it take for him to get her. He does love a challenge. He accepts. He took the seat and sat directly in front of Fay, his back facing the mini-stage. Fay only rolled her eyes and proceeds to look at her phone.

"Hey!"

Taehyung looked back and saw Jimin and Yoongi coming in together. He raised his eyebrow at Yoongi.

"We arrived here at the same time." Yoongi explained. Taehyung nodded his head slowly, acting like he was convinced.

"What are you doing here?" Jimin asked him.

"Yoongi and I will be joining you." Taehyung answered as he pat the empty seat beside him and motioned for Yoongi to sit.

"Where is he?" Fay asked

"He's coming in. Just need to take a call."

"Who are you looking for? I'm here, baby." Taehyung told Fay.

"Shut the fuck up." Fay countered.

Taehyung tried to give all his attention to Fay. He would try to constantly tease her. He admits it's difficult though. He can't give her even his fifty percent. His attention was constantly being stolen by beautiful people walking around. He just wants to give up and follow that vixen who seductively looked at him. But he has to win. He has to overcome this challenge. His pride is on the line.

"Mic check 1, 2. Mic check."

Here she comes again. Taehyung's mouth was getting dry. He looked at Fay. She's focused on the stage. You can do it, he told himself.

"Good evening. This is the first song for tonight."

Taehyung's eyes widened. He turned around and saw Jungkook standing on the stage, playing his guitar. He started to sing.
