Dreams of Arcadia

Sitting in my apartment in this otherworldly Seoul for several days in the hope that the others might come looking for me was probably not such a good idea after all... the others probably had the same plan and were also waiting in their apartments. So I decided that I would take matters into my own hands and drive to the others. My car was in my garage, luckily, I didn't feel like walking, so I drove onto the street, but stopped three houses down when I heard the music and saw the colorful lights coming from the top floor... wasn't that G-Dragon's house? He was here too? Either that, or someone wanted to take possession of his apartment and was now celebrating. The car door closed quietly after I got out, I just left it on the street as there probably wouldn't be many cars passing by. The building was open and I was able to enter the elevator without any problems, which took me all the way to the top. As it opened, the music got louder and louder and I entered a huge living room full of colorful balloons. in the middle was a trampoline with three people jumping around on it. They were all wearing boxer shorts and Hello Kitty party hats. My mouth fell open when I recognized them... Jiyong, the owner of the house, Kim Kibum and... Taehyung. They were singing along to GD's song Crayon at the top of their voices while holding hands as they jumped... they weren't sober anymore...

"Ahem..." I cleared my throat loudly and startled, they let go of their hands, landed on their butts and were catapulted back into the air in a sitting position, making them giggle again.

"Hyung... there you are... I've been wanting to come get you since yesterday, but these cheeky hyungs here, won't let me go." Tae slurred, almost discarding himself as he climbed off the trampoline.

"I live three houses down, Taehyung... how can it take you a day to get there?" I asked, irritated.

"Yeah, sorrrrrrry... I can't remember the direction..." he held on to me so he wouldn't just fall over.

"Ahhhh Jiminahhhhhh, we couldn't let the little one go... he's so drunk, if he wasn't dead, he'd have severe alcohol poisoning." Key giggled, who wasn't completely sober himself. Jiyong also came off the trampoline and hugged me.

"Oi... You're such a cutie." He poked his index finger into my cheek and giggled again.

"Come drink with us, we're partying." he held a bottle out to me, but I shook my head.

"You guys lie down now and sleep it off. I have to go and collect the others. But I won't leave until you're safe, so I know you won't do anything stupid." With that, I brought them one by one to Jiyong's big bed in the bedroom, I wanted to keep an eye on them at the same time, so I didn't split them up. I tucked them in and turned out the light.

"Hmmm, thanks mom... I was so tired..." Jiyong mumbled and immediately closed his eyes while Taehyung giggled again...

"He thinks you're his mom.... hahahahhhhhh phhhhhhhh" he fell asleep while laughing which made me smile.

"I always need a little relief before I fall asleep... won't you help me?" Key asked seductively and I raised an eyebrow. I guess that was the alcohol talking.

"I can just ko you, has the same effect." I replied dryly and he pouted.

"Yah, respect your hyung..." he grumbled and turned around.

"Sober up first, then we'll see if I respect you." I said and waited a few more minutes to be on the safe side until I heard them all snoring. Then I left the apartment again and got into my car. The first thing I did was drive to Hobi's apartment, as it was the closest to mine. Again, nothing was locked and I entered the apartment where I had lived until recently. Here, too, I was greeted by a sight I hadn't expected...
