To Be Loved... (BOOK 1)

Blackout

"Hyunjin, wake up." Everything sounded muffled. I couldn't even process who was speaking. "You should've cut him off an hour ago. I thought you were keeping an eye on everyone."

"How was I supposed to know he'd fall off a table? He barely even speaks to people. I didn't think I had to look out for the quiet kid."

Who fell off a table? Me?

"What happened?" I groaned.

"You're partying a little too hard, Jinnie." It was Wooyoung. "Do you want mom to pick you up?"

I shook my head, realizing my head was in his lap. Once I slowly opened my eyes, I saw all the people crowded around me.

"Where's Felix?"

"He was on the table with you." Wooyoung smiled.

"That idiot." I smiled too. "Is he okay?"

"He's okay. Minho is with him. He didn't pass out or anything like you did. You guys are crazy."

I weakly pushed myself up and hunched over.

"Here." Changbin handed me a bottle of water. "I think you should lay down or something. Same with Felix."

"But it's not midnight yet." I pouted, looking up at him with innocent eyes.

"It will be in twenty minutes so how about you two sit on the couch and watch the TV if you don't wanna lay down." He suggested, then helped me stand once I agreed.

"Where's Felix?" I looked around and found him already on the couch with his head hanging above a garbage can. Once Minho saw me, he moved over to make room.

"And this is why I can't drink when he's around." Minho sighed. "I have three giant babies to take care of."

"Three?"

He pointed at Jisung and Jeongin, who completely ignored the situation that apparently occurred, as they were drunkenly playing rock, paper, scissors on the floor.

"And I got you and Yongbokie. I'm the only sober one here."

Everyone went back to normal once they were done worrying. Drinks in hand, TV blasting, loud conversations, and drunk bodies in every direction.

"Little one." I whispered in Felix's ear. "How many shots of tequila do you think you had?"

"I think I need a hospital."

"Are you being serious?" The instant panic started to sober me up. I looked into the trash can and was pretty impressed to see just how much vomit was in there.

"I feel like I'm floating." He barely spoke above a whisper. He set the trash can down and leaned his head on my shoulder. "I think I'm gonna pass out." I tapped Minho to pay attention to Felix.

"Yongbokie, you okay?" Minho asked sweetly.

"Felix is gonna join Beomgyu, let's go." Changbin came over to us and said. Unfortunately I knew I was in no position to take care of Felix so I just let Minho take him. By the time he was being carried in his older brother's arms, he was knocked out.

"Goodnight, Lixie." I waved and laid the rest of my body out on the couch.

It was ten minutes till the new year so I had to make it up there somehow. But for now, laying here slipping in and out of consciousness is the best option.

"Hey, hot stuff." Yeosang sat directly on my legs. "I'm shocked you're even awake right now. Coulda sworn that fall was gonna knock you out for the rest of the night." I'm too drunk to care about how embarrassing that must've been. Truthfully, I don't even remember standing on a table which is probably for the best.

"Where's Wooyoungie?" I whined.

"Bathroom with San." I scrunched my nose in disgust knowing exactly what was happening.

Everyone started to file in around the TV knowing that it would be midnight in just a few minutes.

"I gotta get to Felix." I tried getting up, but he was still sitting on my legs. "Yeosang, I gotta go."

"Oh!" He smiled. "Yeah, no. I was kinda sent here to watch you."

"I don't need a babysitter. Just take me to him." I whined much like a child, proving I do in fact need to be babysat.

"Alright, alright." He sighed and got up. He took my hand and didn't let go as he led me to the guest room where Felix was. "I'll let you have your little New Year's kiss."

"Thank you." I sang with a smile, nearly stumbling over my own feet. Felix was passed out in the same queen sized bed next to Beomgyu.

"Welcome to the club." Yeonjun slurred kneeling on Beomgyu's side.

"Thought you'd be with Yeji."

"I was about to leave. I just wanted to make sure he was okay. He's a lightweight." Yeonjun gently moved the hair out of Beomgyu's eyes and kissed his forehead. "You staying in here?" I nodded. He stood up and saluted. "Happy New Year, Hyunjin."

"Happy New Year." I smiled once he left. "Yeosang." I called as he came inside. "You don't need to guard the door, go find someone random girl to kiss." Without saying a word, he practically sprinted away. I looked back at my sleeping beauty and smiled. I could hear people counting down from ten downstairs. "Happy New Year, my angel." I whispered. "I love you more than anything in the whole world." I pressed a soft kiss to his forehead and pulled away with a fond smile. "I'll love you forever."
