"You don't actually expect her to go through with this, right?" Jungkook asked Taehyung in a questioning tone. The pair left the other five boys to go get Nicola.

"She gave us her address!" Taehyung said to Jungkook, reassuringly, "She wouldn't have given us her address if she didn't want to hang out with us!"

"I guess you're right..." Jungkook sighed, "I just don't want you getting let down."

The pair walked just down the road, and ended up in front of a large apartment complex. Jungkook and Taehyung sat on the pavement, awaiting Nicola, who insisted she'd meet them outside in a moment. And sure enough, she did.

"Hello Taehyung!" She said, jogging toward them in a hoodie and jeans.

"Hi!" Taehyung called to her.

"It's almost midnight!" Jungkook said, "How did you manage to get out of the house this late?"

"Wasn't too hard!" She sighed, out of breath from running, "I just had to climb out my window."

"Ahhh..." Jungkook thought to himself, "So she snuck out."

"Where are we going?" Nicola said turning to Taehyung. He blushed instantly and became flustered.

"W-well...if you want we can go to my friend Min Yoongi's," Taehyung put his hand on the back of his neck and looked at the ground, "But only if you want to..."

"I'm up for it," she said in a chipper tone, "Whose there?"

As the trio walked to Yoongi's apartment, Taehyung let her in on it all: the graffiti, the sleepover, and the plan. Since Taehyung expected to be up all night, like usual, he invited Nicola to spend the night, if she was up for it.

Meanwhile, Jin, Yoongi, Namjoon, Hoseok, and Jimin were at Yoongi's, setting up his house for the night.
Usually there wasn't much setup for a standard Friday night at Yoongi's, but tonight was different—because they'd have two guests: Namjoon and Nicola.

Yoongi dragged his mattress and couch in front of the television, and draped sheets over a low-hanging beam. The couch pulled out into a queen-sized bed, so he pulled it out, making enough room for all of them to at least sit somewhere comfortable.
The blanket fort was formed—with pink sheet walls, small candles, and a plethora of throw pillows tossed about. In the TV's DVD Player, was a copy of the movie The Breakfast Club–waiting to be played.
Yoongi sat under a shield of covers on his bed, curled up comfortably with Hoseok on his left. Jimin stretched out and made himself cozy on the remaining bottom half of the mattress, wrapped in a plush grey blanket.
On the pull out couch sat Jin and Namjoon. Jin—bold and flirtatious as he was, outstretched his arm and pulled Namjoon closer to him. They had a black duvet on top of them; while waiting for Jungkook, Taehyung, and hopefully Nicola, Jin used the opportunity to play a game of 'footsies' with Namjoon under the covers.

"This fort is amazing," Jimin said, looking up at the illuminated, soft pink ceiling.

Namjoon looked up too, and noticed how his form cast a shadow on the sheet hanging above. Utilizing the candlelight, and the luminescent TV screen, he cast hand puppets on the sheets, stirring a laugh out of Jin.

"Maybe your passion is shadow puppets," Jin said, pressing his knee into Namjoon's thigh.

"Maybe," Namjoon laughed, leaning against Jin's shoulder.

"I'll be right back," Jin said to Namjoon, getting up, "I think tonight needs two more things," (he addressed the group now).

"What?" Hoseok said, dozing off with his face in the crook of Yoongi's neck.

"Wine and popcorn," Jin said smugly.

"Where do you expect to get wine or popcorn?" Jimin asked.

"I know I have popcorn," Yoongi let out a muffled shout from under the pile of blankets.

Jin strolled to the refrigerator, picking through old fruit and takeout boxes, until he found a bottle of red wine, tucked in the very back of the fridge, on its side.

"It's our lucky day then," Jin laughed while holding the full bottle high.

Hoseok let out a soft cheer.

"Popcorn and wine isn't exactly a great mixture," Jimin said as Jin walked to the cupboard.

"It's perfect!" Jin yelled at him, "We're watching  a movie, so we need popcorn. And, I want to get wine-drunk, so we need wine,"

"What's the difference between wine-drunk and regular drunk?" Namjoon chuckled.

"Wine-drunk is how classy people get shitfaced!" Jin exclaimed, causing an eruption of laughter from the four boys.

"In that case," Namjoon said, "Pour me a glass!"

"I don't have wine glasses," Yoongi interjected.

This triggered a chuckle from Jin.

"Well," Namjoon said, "In that case, pour me a mug!"

Just as Jin poured a cup for each of the boys there, Taehyung, Jungkook, and Nicola walked through the door.

"Whoa!" Nicola said looking at the enchanting blanket-paradise, "This place is awesome!"

"I know right," Taehyung whispered from behind her.

"Welcome!" Yoongi yelled, as if he were a 1950's Playboy holding a party; a Gatsby of sorts, "Need a drink?" He said, holding up a red mug full of wine.
