Two Worlds - Namjin

5- Sober

Pov. Namjoon

When I wake up, my head is killing me. I try to get up slowly not to get dizzy but as soon as I do the nausea hits me making me run to the bathroom to throw up. Ugh, I hate this part. My friends say that if you're always drunk you'll never have a hangover but I don't wanna risk it. I sit on the bathroom floor until I can feel confident enough to get up again. The memories from last night are blurred in my mind. I remember everything until we entered the club. Damn, did I really get that hammered? I smile to myself thinking about Jin. He's probably feeling the same way as me right now in his home. I wish I could remember how he looked being high or drunk. I bet it was a whole show.

I spend the day at home to recover and I text Jin but get no answer. Assuming he must be just as tired as me, I decide to leave him alone. The next day I'm ready to go meet him at the coffee place. My smile is huge as I enter but it falls as soon as I wave my hand at him. He looks away and sends someone else to take my order. Of course I refuse to be served by anyone else and he ends up coming my way avoiding my eyes.

- What you want?

- Uh, good morning to you too, cutie!

- Morning. What you want?

He doesn't sound angry or bossy. Just tired or...I don't know, sad?

- Is everything okay? Did someone mess with you? You say the word and I'll beat them up

- Namjoon, do I look like I can't defend myself?

-...Okay, then what is it?!

He looks at me up and down, confused. Until he suddenly seems to realize something. He lets out a deep breath and asks.

- You don't remember anything from the other night, do you?

- Why? What happened? Did any-

- If you wanna remember the things going on in front of you, maybe you should stop taking things that help you forget.

- What is that supposed to mean?

- Look! Your drugs even make you dumb! Or are you naturally that way?

I'm a little offended but at least his badass attitude is back. I understand he likes making rules but having a problem with me taking a few fun pills? Really?

- Oh, don't be dramatic. I was just enjoying myself!

- Okay. Good. Keep it up. But I ain't telling you any details of that night.

He leaves ignoring me for the rest of the day. Annoyed, I wait for the night to go back to the club. Most of the friends that go there aren't like me. I'm only there maybe once a week while they go daily. Once I arrive, I start asking them questions to know if anyone remembers me having an argument or discussion with Jin. For some reason it's shocking to see none of them remembers shit about it. Most of my friends don't even remember seeing me that night. Even though I'm pretty sure I talked to several of them.

I sit near the bar and see the rest dance. It all looks so weird when I'm sober. A few people are just drunk and having fun but most of them...well, no wonder this is illegal. The lost look in their eyes is almost sad to watch. I try to keep up with some of their conversations but...do they always ramble so much? And do they always say such stupid things?

- Broo, did you know that when we talk we can't see our face! Soooo bizarre

I don't even answer. I've been hearing dumb shit for the last 3 hours and I need a break. I walk out and I know I have to make a choice. I could take a pill and go have fun. Or...

Me
I know it's late but...you wanna go out for a walk?

Hottest man alive 😍🔥
You high?

Me
No. I promise.

Hottest man alive 😍 🔥
In front of the Coffee place. In ten minutes. Don't be late or I'll go home.

I'm not gonna lie. I was ready to be brutally rejected. Shocked but excited for this second chance I run up to his workplace where he's already waiting for me. How did he get here so fast? He must live near by. I can't even say "hello" before he's looking at me right in the eyes checking my pupils aren't dilated.

- Cutie, I'm cleaner than ever. I wouldn't lie to you

- Hmmm fine. And don't call me cutie.

- I'll find a new nickname then...

We smile fully aware that things are falling back in place. It's really late in the night and usually I wouldn't walk down the streets now. But he makes me feel a confidence and calm that I can't help to embrace. I feel like if someone tried to rob us he would beat him up. Probably because last time I surprised him from behind he punched the shit out of me. Every single conversation we have makes the atmosphere lighter.

- Really? "Hottest man alive"? Hahaha I can't believe that's how you saved my contact!

- Oh, yeah? How do you have me?

-....Your name.

- And nothing else?

- ...Smxm idiot

- What was the first word, lovely?

- ...Okay, maaaaybe I saved you like "Sexy idiot" but the "idiot" is the important part!

- Sure it is

I turn to wink at him and he looks away with a smile on his face. Spending time with him feels so comfortable and fun the hours fly by. We're on the way back when I take out my cigarette box and pull one out. I hold it with my mouth while I look for the lighter but Jin takes it away from me.

- It's just a cigarette, it won't erase my memory

- You shouldn't have one today, Namjoon

- Why the hell not?

- Because I'm not gonna kiss you if you taste like this.

He gives it back to me like waiting for me to make a choice. And only an idiot would smoke now. I save it back and enjoy the smirk on his face. I can quit for now. I didn't need it that much. Of course he makes me spend the rest of the night holding myself from smoking. But by the time the sun is rising I'm entering my house with an un-used lighter, a smile on my face...and some of his lipstick on my lips. And shit, I'll do anything to taste that again...
