there he was at the party, the loud music burning in his ears.

jimin's house was a little larger than everyone else's, but he never imagined it to be this big.

it was almost a villa.

in all honesty, he just wanted to go home, eat and talk with his grandma.

of course jeongguk was there— in fact, he was the life of the party, but taehyung stood in a corner unnoticed and unbothered.

the songs all sucked too (no offense, jimin).

they were all fuckboy-ish, and he didn't like that. he liked slow songs that weren't about drugs, girls, sex, or parties.

he was eyeing his orange juice (or, at least he thinks so) for the nth time that night, looking up to see jimin and chanyeol a little too close to each other.

taehyung was quite surprised when jeongguk didn't do anything. maybe he didn't see— but they were uncomfortably close for two best friends.

he tried to take action, but someone a few heads taller than taehyung blocked him, probably accidentally.

"fudge, wait, jimin!" he mumbled to himself as the "orange juice" spilled on his shirt.

"'cuse me," he pushed through the crowd, finally finding jimin and chanyeol.

but they were gone.

"fudge, fudge, fudge." he mumbled, looking around the loud room.

taehyung found it quite upsetting that no one said anything about jimin being gay— maybe it was because taehyung was an easy target?

this is not the time, taehyung!

he backed away, accidentally pushing jeongguk back.

"woah kid, what's up with you?" jeongguk got up and brushed the invisible dust off of his pants.

"sorr-y, do-do you know where jimin is?" taehyung frowned while saying this.

"why do you care?" because he might be cheating on you!

"i need to talk to-to him," taehyung smiled nervously, backing away from jeongguk, slowly becoming a sprint.

eventually, he gave up and went home early because there was nothing to do, really.

he knew he should've kept looking for jimin, but he couldn't stand being in the same room as jeongguk and his pals.

the thought sent shivers through his puny spine, walking home in the cold.

"huh, you're here early."
