May 30th, 2018:

We hadn't been able to organise a night to go to the movies because we were just too busy. We were currently rehearsing for the upcoming Festa, and it was midnight when Namjoon paused the music. We all turned to look at him confused.


"We're messing up more than getting it right at this point," he says wiping his brow, "more practice will just worsen our morale. Let's just go get some beers and go to the river".


We all turn around to look at Hoseok, the unspoken leader of the rehearsals. He continues catching his breath for a few seconds before nodding in agreement. Taehyung excitedly got up from his crouching position.


"Let's go!" he shouted excitedly pointing to the door.


I quickly wiped my sweat away with a towel and put my shirt back on. Jungkook, Namjoon, and Jimin doing the same. We walked through the deserted building and mainly deserted streets toward the Han River. We stopped by a convenience store nearby to the park to get the beer and some snacks.


"Welcome to..." the worker said not finishing his welcoming phrase, his jaw-dropping slightly upon seeing all eight of us come in.


"Get whatever you want, it's on me," Seokjin said as we all separated to go get different things.


I pick up some generic chips, but Jungkook takes them out of my hand and puts them back.


"Jin hyung's paying, get the most expensive ones," he grins, picking up the truffle-flavoured ones.


"Let's get two," I chuckle, taking another bag.


Once we'd all brought what we wanted to the cash, the counter was full. There were five bags of chips, three bags of gummies, two packets of beef jerky, two bottles of soju, and four cases of six beers.


"What happened to all your diets," Seokjin says looking at all the food stunned.


"I'm not on it when you're paying," Jimin grins, "thank you hyung," he adds hugging him.


"Yeah, yeah," Seokjin rolls his eyes, going forward to hand the staff his card.


"Will you need bags?" they asked after he'd paid.


"That'd be great," Hoseok nods, helping the staff put all the items in bags.


We all thanked the staff and left for the park.


"Here's fine," Namjoon says once we'd got a patch of green near the river's edge.


We take all the snacks and drinks out and place them in the middle. Jimin breaks out the beers and hands one to each of us.


"Cheers to a successful comeback," Namjoon says bringing his beer to meet all of ours in the middle, "cheers to Bangtan... cheers to... friendship".
