NEVER LET GO [Discontinued]

44 - Beyond the party

The meeting had long since dissolved into chaos, and the room was filled with laughter and lively debates. Taehyung, Jungkook, Jimin, J-Hope, Felix, Jinyoung, Suga, and Irene were at the center of it all, tossing playful banter back and forth like a game of volleyball.

Taehyung, as usual, was in full energy mode, passionately defending his stance on... pineapple on pizza.

"I'm telling you, pineapples on pizza are an insult to humanity!" Taehyung said, practically yelling, his hands flailing.

Felix gasped dramatically. "How could you say that?! Pineapple is the perfect combination of sweet and savory."

Jungkook, who was casually munching on a snack, shook his head. "I don't know, man. Pineapples on pizza are... kinda cursed."

J-Hope was nodding enthusiastically. "Finally, someone with sense! Who decided that fruit on pizza was a good idea?"

Taehyung, not backing down, pointed a finger at Felix. "If you like pineapples on pizza, then I'm not sure we can be friends."

Irene, sipping her wine and thoroughly entertained, chimed in. "I like pineapple on pizza. And I'm still your friend, Tae."

Jimin snickered. "What do you think about that, Tae?"

Taehyung groaned, throwing his hands up. "Fine! noona gets a pass. But the rest of you? Criminals."

The group burst into laughter before the conversation quickly shifted to a new topic.

"Alright, let's settle something else," Jungkook said, leaning forward. "Who's more handsome? Me or Taehyung?"

"Oh God, not this again," Jinyoung muttered, rolling his eyes.

Taehyung immediately shot back. "Obviously me! Have you seen my face?"

Jimin burst out laughing. "Yeah, yeah, sure, Tae. But look at Jungkook's jawline. He's got that sharp, dangerous look. I think he wins."

Felix shook his head. "Nope, Taehyung has the soft, ethereal beauty. Sorry, jungkook."

Jungkook raised his arms in disbelief. "Are you guys serious? I can't believe I'm losing this!"

Suga, who had been quietly observing the chaos with a smirk, chimed in. "It's not a contest when Tae's involved, You never stood a chance."

The room erupted in laughter again, but before they could settle the debate, the conversation shifted once more-this time, to games.

J-Hope leaned in with a mischievous grin. "Who's the best at video games?"

Taehyung immediately shot up from his seat. "Me! I always win."

Jungkook rolled his eyes. "You win because you cheat. I'm the real champion here."

Felix shook his head. "No way. J-Hope is the best when it comes to racing games."

J-Hope raised his hands in victory. "Finally! Some recognition."

Jimin, still laughing, nudged J-Hope. "But let's be real, Taehyung's reaction when he loses is worth it."

Taehyung groaned. "I'm not a sore loser! I just... I'm passionate."

Jinyoung raised an eyebrow. "Passionate? You threw your controller last time."

Jungkook snickered. "Yeah, and it almost hit me!"

Amid the playful chaos, the conversation shifted to something more serious-Taehyung's baby.

"Okay, okay, let's settle this once and for all," Jimin said, leaning back in his chair. "Boy or girl?"

J-Hope grinned. "It's definitely a boy. Look how much energy Taehyung has! He's carrying a little mini-me."
