15 minutes before the party starts, jseph goes back over to fetch matthew--who's finally looking more like himself in a muscle tee and jeans, cocky and fuckboy as ever.

he's staring at himself in the mirror with a smug I'll-lead-you-on-then-break-your-heart squint, punching at the air and flexing a couple times to flaunt to himself even more and--

"looking good bro, you ready?"

at that question, matthew falters, and he starts dramatically whispering and, "yeah but does my hair look good--it took me like 7 minutes to do and I think it won't impress anybody--does it look fine?"

taehyung ends up dropping to a whisper too, "of course it looks good--how did you even get it like that, it looks so good--you think you can do that to my hair?"

matthew makes a face, still whispering; "what do you mean do I think, of course I can do it you ass I'm matthew kim."

"okay fine then do it matthew kim."

"okay fine."

"okay bitch."

so 7 minutes later, they're heading out with matching fuckboy hair and matthew ridiculing taehyung's choice of overly baggy clothes; but sooner or later they're there, parked outside the large building courtesy of jseph.

it's when they're walking into the party that taehyung reassures his bro that, "you are matthew kim, and matthew kim isn't nervous because he's too hot to be nervous, okay?" and the giant nods in agreement, hyping himself up and then finally shaking his jitters away before stepping into the crowd.

"okay bro, now go mingle with some hot chicks while I down a couple shots!" he yells over the music, pushing the giant forward, but matthew doesn't move one inch and--"how about I sit at the bar with you and wait for girls to come to me instead?" he spits out nervously, rushing off to the bar before his bro can respond.

which is odd because, one, matthew always goes around to talk to girls--even when he's taken.

taehyung doesn't think it'll turn out bad though, so he follows after him and they start doing shots together.

turns out it does end up bad, because 5 shots into some special made up pyramid of drinks, somin and her girlfriend pop up.

"matthew? it's so good to see you!" she yells over the music, her words nowhere near slurred enough for her to be drunk--which is bad news for his bro because she'll be even more passive aggressive friendly.

"oh, hey somin."

jseph can already feel the tears she's doesn't deserve wetting his shoulder.

"hey, what've you been up to lately?" she asks, still smiling so stupidly fake--jseph just wants to switch genders right there and beat her ass.

"nothing much actually, what about you?"

she smiles and from behind her she pulls a cute faced blonde forward, their fingers intertwined and smiles near identical--"I've been going out a lot lately, thanks to her. meet jiwoo, my girlfriend."

taehyung can see the last bit of happiness in matthew's eyes fade, and the giant chugs an entire beer before standing up to shake her free hand.

jiwoo seems genuinely unhappy to see matthew until her eyes meet with taehyung's and--"oh, is that your boyfriend? we could totally do a double date sometime!"

somin's smile ebbs away, her eyes narrowed at jseph until she turns away to give her lover a peck on the cheek. "maybe sometime. well, we should get going now. bye matthew, taehyung."

matthew puts on a thin smile and hugs them both for some reason, "I hope you both have fun tonight. bye." they walks away together, smiling at each other lovingly despite the fake smiles they'd shared before.

matthew finishes the pyramid on his own, and they leave the party right after.
