"It's fine, you stay and play with your friends. I'll be back in a few," you tell him as his friends are still yelling at him. "I'm going to kick your ass," you hear him say. As you're walking out, you see a different side to Taehyung tonight; he's very playful unlike the other boys, but you do not know them either. As you walk, you realize you're still a little buzzed and don't remember how to return to where you started at the party. You stumble around and find the bar that you went to earlier. It looks like a funhouse. When you walk in, people are making out, dancing, and grinding on each other, with alcohol everywhere. You turn around, shut the door, and keep walking straight. There are people everywhere, but not as many, and you don't see any tables with food. You walk off into an area that looks like a garden. Once you keep walking, you realize you are in the maze from when you got to the party, but you must have entered a different opening. You're the only one in the labyrinth, you think, because it's quiet other than laughing in the distance. So, you think you're on the other side of the maze. You've been walking for five minutes and come to a dead end." 

"Are you lost?" someone said in a deep voice behind you.

"Ya, I guess I had no idea..." you trailed off because when you turned around Namjoon was wearing black skinny jeans and a white shirt with chains. You noticed his hair slicked back and suddenly realized it was him you saw dancing with a girl earlier. You stopped in your tracks and just glared at him.

"What are you doing out here by yourself?" he asked and walked closer to you. You stepped back a foot.

"I needed to use the bathroom and can't find where it is," you said and looked around like you were looking for the tables to distract yourself, but you realized you were still in the maze so you ended up just looking at the bushes lined around you.

"The bathrooms are not in the maze," he said, you giggled. 

"Of course not. Why would there be bathrooms in a maze?" you giggled again. Namjoon moved closer to you you were standing three feet apart

Namjoon tilted his head. "Are you drunk?" 

"I don't know if I'm drunk, but I'm buzzed," you say as you smile. Namjoon looks at you and sighs, then gestures for you to walk with him. You ask where he's taking you, and he responds, "Let's go to the house and find you the bathroom." You walk beside him up to a sidewalk to double doors that are black and wood. Namjoon holds the door open for you. When you walk in, it's a long hallway with a big crystal chandelier in the middle. It's dark inside. Namjoon walks towards a white door with a gold handle. You walk in and shut the door behind you. It's a small powder room with just a porcelain and gold sink and toilet with green and white wallpaper.

After leaving the bathroom, Namjoon is not in sight. As you head towards a white door with a bright light on the other side, you find yourself in a large, wrap-around kitchen with white, black, and wood accents and a spacious island in the middle. Namjoon is already there, and the only Source of light in the room is the ceiling lights. He walks toward you with two containers, setting them on the island as he Starts to put together something in a bowl. As he walks over to warm it up, he leans back on the counter and exclaims, "I didn't even know you were here."

You respond by saying, "I saw you earlier, but from behind. I wasn't sure it was you." He glares at you For a moment, then asks, "Are you here with Taehyung?"

You explain, "Yes, I was playing games and drinking, but I needed to use the bathroom." Namjoon inquires why you were alone, to which you reply, "I don't think Taehyung realized how tipsy I was, and neither did I until I started walking and didn't know where I was going."

He takes the food and leads you back to the hallway, where two French doors open to a dining room. In the room, there is a ten-foot hardwood table with ten chairs. Namjoon places the food at the end of the table and sits down to your right. "You don't have to babysit me," you tell him as you look in the bowl to find chicken fried rice with kimchi and start eating.
