Chapter Seven

Jimin and Jungkook held hands, so that Jimin couldn't wander off without Jungkook noticing. ''Wow.'' Jimin said and looked with big eyes at all the people dancing in the beach café when they entered. ''Let's get some drinks.'' Jungkook immediatly looked at Jimin who said those words really casually. ''Didn't I warn you?'' . ''But I'm thirsty.'' The red-haired boy whined and Jungkook rolled with his eyes. ''Fine, but I will get them. I'm not letting you touch any liquid tonight.'' Jungkook said and Jimin nodded, he understood Jungkook's concern.

They walked to the bar, there were two female barista's who made all the orders. When one wasn't busy, Jungkook ordered the drinks for Jimin and him. ''Two cokes, please.'' He said and the girl nodded. She made the orders ready and Jungkook handed her some money when they got their glasses. The two boys stood by the bar and Jimin looked curious at the drink in his hand, while Jungkook was already halfway done. ''What is this?'' The red-haired boy asked Jungkook and he grinned when he was done with drinking. ''Coke, it's soda. You'll love it, it's refreshing.'' Jungkook explained to his friend.

Jimin shrugged his shoulders and then he drank his coke. While he was drinking, Jungkook suddenly recognised someone in the dancing crowd. ''Fuck.'' He sissed and wanted to hide from that particular person, but it was too late. ''Kookie.'' Taehyung greeted him with a smile and the black-haired boy smiled awkwardly back. Not to be wrong, Taehyung was his friend, but Jungkook was acting so weird because Taehyung didn't met Jimin yet. And maybe he would get jealous of Jimin, like Jungkook got a bit jealous of Yoongi.

''Hey.'' Jungkook said and then Taehyung finally saw Jimin who stood next to Jungkook. ''And who are you?'' Taehyung asked and ruffled his purple dyed hair a bit with one hand while the other one was holding a glass of beer. ''Jimin.'' The red-haired boy simply answered and he smiled wide, like he did everytime he met or saw a new human. ''I'm a friend of Jungkook.'' Those words made Taehyung really curious and his smile faded a bit from his face. ''Ah, okay. I've never seen you before. I'm Kim Taehyung, by the way, but you can just call me Taehyung.'' The purple-haired boy said and then he looked at the flaming red hair of Jimin.

''I love your hair though, it looks good on you'' . ''Already got drunk, Taehyung?'' Jungkook joked with his little smile and nodded with his head to the glass of beer his friend was holding. ''Well, I can just compliment him, Kookie. What, y'all are boyfriends or something?'' Jungkook needed to contain himself from punching his friend in the face, while Jimin's face and ears just got red. ''Ah, I'm just joking, Jimin. No need to blush that hard.'' Taehyung laughed and Jimin did too, but Jungkook was dead serious. Taehyung was not going to ruin this for him. He wanted to have fun with Jimin and he felt like his other friend was trying to steal the spotlight.

At that moment, Yoongi appeared from the dancing crowd and stood next to Taehyung. ''Hi, everybody. Ah, Jungkook and Jimin. Nice to see you guys again. Did the pizza taste good?'' Better than your stupid crush on Taehyung, Jungkook thought. ''Yeah, I love food.'' Jimin said with a big smile and Taehyung laughed, while Yoongi nodded with his head, because he felt the same way. ''Wait, what is that kind of drink?'' Jimin asked Yoongi and pointed at the beer bottle in his hand. ''You haven't had beer before?'' The mint-haired boy asked Jimin who shook his head. Jungkook sent warning signals with the stare in his eyes to Jimin, but the red-haired boy had more attention for beer than for Jungkook's warnings.

''Here, try it.'' Yoongi handed Jimin the bottle and the boy looked curiously at the bottle before taking a sip. Jungkook was furious on the inside and wanted to get out of the beach café as soon as possible. His eyes got wide when he swallowed the liquid and he looked at Taehyung and Yoongi while he handed the bottle back. ''That's amazing.'' Jimin then turned to Jungkook who was expecting a question he would reject. ''Can I have my own bottle?'' Jimin asked and Jungkook looked into the dark brown eyes of his friend. ''I'm sorry, Jimin, but I don't want you to get drunk'' . ''You can't get drunk by one bottle, Kookie. Just because you don't like beer, doesn't mean that Jimin has to suffer under your rules.'' Jungkook snapped his neck to Taehyung and his eyes were shooting fire.
