Hyunjin x Y/N

Part 3

A kick in the face made me grunt, and I peeked through slit eyes.

Felix's foot was planted square against my cheek, and I rolled over, only to accidentally bump into Bang Chan. Annoyed, I let out a quiet huff, which alerted me to the fact that I was lying on a cold floor. This realization caused me to bolt upright.

My eyes roved all over the room, stopping on the empty wine bottles that were stacked neatly on the counter.

Han, who had curled up against Lee Know, mumbled something incoherent and shifted, slapping Changbin in the face, which woke them both up. Lee Know, who was also slapped when Han shifted, groaned as he awoke, and he flipped over.

Suddenly, all three of them seemed to realize as I did that they were on the floor.

"I'm glad you've all come to your senses," a voice said.

Startled, the four of us jerked our heads to the couch, only to see my brother spread leisurely upon its surface. He turned his head to look at us, and my hope that he was sober crumbled as he grinned at us through hooded eyelids.

"I - hic - woke up just a few hours ago, and I got a lil thirshh...." His voice trailed off, and a giggle escaped him as he slid off the couch and landed in Felix's lap. Felix snapped awake, and mumbled something in Korean that I couldn't catch, then awoke just as suddenly as I had.

"Ah! What happened? Wake up, guys!" He hurriedly began shaking any sleeping body, which included Changbin, surprisingly. I thought he would've been too hungry to stay awake. Even more so now that he'd woken up after getting completely wasted last night. 

Han mumbled angrily as Felix, persistent enough not to notice that he was still awake, shook him again. "C'mon, we've got to-"

He cut off sharply, and looked around in wonder. "What...who cleaned up?"

Bang Chan snorted. "That...might've been me."

Felix grinned. "Well, you're all lucky I don't like bitter alcohol, so I didn't drink at all last night."

Changbin rolled his eyes. "You're not the only one, Lee."

Lee Know groaned and mumbled in Korean, "Ah, why did I have to eat and drink at the same time, my tummy..."

"Ah, darling, don't worry," Han said, "Hyunjin should be the worried one."

The reminder of Hyunjin sent a chill down my spine, and I frowned. Suddenly, I.N let out an outraged yell. 

"Who drew on me!?"

Changbin laughed, and I.N turned on him with a playful smile. "Did you do this?"

Shaking his head, Changbin "discreetly" glanced at my brother, who was still halfway off the couch. I.N shook his head at Seungmin, and Changbin said, "You talk a lot, when drunk, by the way."

A hiccup escaped Seungmin again, and almost as if to prove Changbin's point, he began rambling, switching between Korean and English. Felix frowned at Seungmin. "Did you drink again?"

I sighed. "Yep...he said he woke up hours ago and got a little thirsty."

Lee Know sat up and rubbed his eyes. He blinked and glanced around the room, and when he made eye contact with me, his face flushed red. I tilted my head and shot him a questioning look. That's when I realized that Han, Changbin, Bang Chan, and Felix were all staring at me with the same flustered expression.

"What?"

They hesitated, and somehow, Bang Chan was mutually chosen as the speaker. "Well, um...when you were...drunk, you did some, uhm...things?"

I paused, and the blood rushed to my face, remembering the video my friend, Nari had taken of me when I had first gotten drunk. I had done some...admittedly inappropriate things, which involved a lot of...well, dancing, if you know what I mean.

I covered my face. "I...am so...so...sorry," I groaned, embarrassment turning the tips of my ears red.

A soft breath came from behind me, and a low voice muttered, "As you should be."

The embarrassment fell away and I turned to face Hwang Hyunjin, irritation plain on my features, I assumed. "You're talking?" I demanded. "You know how many drinks it takes to shut you up? I never found out because you wouldn't."

Hyunjin's mouth dropped open in outrage and I narrowed my eyes at him and glared, which he returned in a way that made my heart race. This time, though, I refused to back down, and instead haughtily lifted my chin and shot him the meanest smirk I could muster.

To my utter shock, Hyunjin looked away, his raven-black hair swishing softly around his face, and I noticed that his face had taken on a slightly pink hue.

I frown at him, dropping my glare, before turning to the rest of the gang, all of whom seemed to be fawning over Seungmin now, as he hadn't stopped talking for a second.

I glanced at Hyunjin again, who was giving me an odd look that I didn't quite understand, before resuming my observation of the rest of the Kids. After a moment, I blurted out, "Hey, you guys wanna go to the movies?"

Everyone turned to look at me, and the only answer I got was a single drunken hiccup from Seungmin. Han turned to my brother with a playfully irritated expression and tapped him lightly on the cheek.

"Ah, you idiot. Why are you drinking right now?"

The only reply was a giggle, followed by a sudden snore. I shook my head as Seungmin finally slid fully of the couch, sleeping soundly as though he'd been asleep this whole time.

"Okay, scratch the movies," I sighed, "Guess we're stuck with my-annoying-brother duty."

"Wait..." I.N's soft voice was barely audible over the talking and my brothers snoring, but my eyes snapped to him and his bright pink face. "I...I'll go with you, if you want?" 

Although it sounded like a question, I knew he meant for it to sound like a statement, so I smiled and nodded. His face lit up, which brought guilt crushing down on me as I replied, "I would love to, but I'm afraid I have to take care of my brother now."

His spirits sank, and I cringed as his smile faded and he turned away from me. "Oh, okay," he said quietly, "Uhm, please excuse me, I have to use the bathroom."

Still burdened with guilt,  I sighed and turned away from his retreating figure as he pushed open the bathroom door. When I turned, I found myself face to face with Hyunjin, who was glaring after I.N for some reason. When he noticed my curiosity, he sneered at me and brushed past me to the rest of the gang, who had remained completely oblivious to any of my exchanges with their friends.

Sighing, confused from the torrent of emotions swirling around me, I made a beeline for my brother and smacked him across the face. Shock echoed through the room, but Seungmin just blinked and glared at me. "Mah," he said, and I scrunched up my face as another string of weird noises followed.

Suddenly, he fell asleep again, and though I knew it was fake, I couldn't stop myself from bending down to press my lips against his ear and say in the deepest voice I could muster, "Wake up, bitch."
