Jisung leaned heavily against Jaemin as he watched Naerin and Haechan as they took turns pouring soju into the little shot glass that sat afloat in the cup of beer.

The two had made a bet with each other that they could out-drink one another. Haechan, who was a lightweight, however, was obviously already feeling the effects of alcohol.

Meanwhile, Naerin had successfully won a handful of drinking games that night and was significantly soberer than Haechan.

Jisung hadn't been as lucky. He hadn't played a drinking game before and quickly found himself losing each game. By the time they began playing Titanic, Jisung's head already felt heavy and his stomach swirled with the warm feeling of alcohol.

He leaned heavily against Jaemin before rolling down onto the floor. As he rolled onto the floor, he bumped into the table causing the shot glass to sink into the beer cup.

Naerin let out a shriek as her hand slipped and poured more soju than intended into the cup. Jisung whined quietly at the faint pain he felt from hitting the table.

"Ah, that hurt," he pouted and scooched closer to where Haechan and Jeno were sitting.

Haechan jumped to his feet, off-balanced but excited by the fact that Naerin lost the game.

"You lost! Drink up!" He exclaimed.

"Jisung bumped into the table!" Naerin exclaimed, also jumping to her feet, refusing to lose to the idol boy. "I want a rematch!" she exclaimed.

"Not a chance!" Haechan shouted back, "Drink! Drink! Drink!"

He started to chant and soon after Woosung, Jeno, Minchul and Hyowon joined in. Naerin let out a sigh and succumbed to the pressure. She picked up the cup and with a deep breath, tipped back the contents of the cup.

Jisung watched through hooded lids as Naerin downed the beer and soju. Feeling giddy, Jisung giggled and grabbed onto Jeno. His arms wrapped tightly around the older boy's leg as he snuggled into it.

Jeno let out a shocked laugh while Jaemin pulled out his phone to videotape.

"Hyung, I love you," Jisung mumbled into Jeno's leg.

Naerin sat down after finishing the drink and groaned. Her eyes drifted to her soulmate and a smile spread across her face. There was nothing but deep admiration toward her soulmate, but the only one that seemed to notice her gaze was Hyowon.

"How much do you love me?" Jeno teased. He felt tipsy but it was clear that Jisung was much more drunk than he was.

Jisung sluggishly pulled himself to sit up, leaning heavily on his arms as he scooched close to Jeno. Without warning, Jisung grabbed Jeno's face, his large hands clasped over Jeno's cheeks.

"Hyung, I lwove you so much," Jisung slurred. Then leaned in to place a kiss on Jeno's forehead.

Jeno panicked and shoved Jisung away, making the drunk boy fall over onto the ground. Letting out a sad whine, Jisung grabbed Jeno's leg once more and hugged it tightly.

"Hyung, do you not love me back?" Jisung's voice shook like he was on the verge of tears.

"Ah, Jisung, don't cry!" Haechan exclaimed, "This is going to be annoying if you cry,"

"You think I'm annoying?" Jisung gasped, tears now streaming down his face.

"Haechan! Look what you did! You made baby Jisung cry!" Hyowon exclaimed, jumping to her feet, one hundred percent ready to throw hands at Haechan.

"I didn't do anything!" Haechan defended loudly, but his words fell to deaf ears as a tipsy Hyowon poured two large shots and handed one to Haechan.

"Punishment!" she shouted.
