Dear Best Friend | 김태형

Open the Door || Chapter twenty-six

As you walked through the front door alongside Taehyung, you noticed how quiet the house was. "Where is everyone?"
He shrugged, shutting the door behind him and making his way to the kitchen.

Namjoon was still in the kitchen, perched on the countertop whilst speaking to Jin. "Hey," you offered, and they immediately turned to look at you. "Oh, you're back." Jin said, and Namjoon made grabby hands for the bag. Taehyung stepped forwards, holding the bag towards Namjoon, but as soon as he touched the bag, Taehyung made an "Oh shit," Sound and yanked it back towards himself. Everyone looked at him confusedly, and he just smiled sheepishly in response.

His back was to you, so you couldn't see what was happening, but something aroused your curiosity.
"What are you-" Namjoon began, freezing when Taehyung apparently opened the bag and took something out, stuffing it in his pockets. They stared at each other for a moment, and Jin also looked shocked. Then, Taehyung handed the bag over to them.

"What was-"
"Nothing," Tae interrupted before you could ask, not looking at you at all with a heavy blush on his face.

You didn't see him buy anything else at the store other than juice, so how did he sneak whatever past you?
Unless he bought it at the till?

You tried to remember what was by the counter, and Namjoon cleared his throat, "You owe me." He called as Taehyung walked out the room, and you looked to the other two in confusion. They both shrugged, obviously not willing to answer.
You sighed, and left the room also.

Taehyung gave you back your phone in the car, which was in his pocket the whole time. You decided to play a game on it for a while, seeing as Taehyung had disappeared.

Maybe he was just buying cigarettes, or medicine for someone. Who knows. Taehyung is weird.

If there's one thing you know about sleepovers, it's that the concept of 'dinner' doesn't exist. By six, one of the boys ordered pizza, and everyone was huddled up facing the tv in the Hoseoks room as a movie was playing.
You sat near the middle, inbetween Hoseok and Yoongi as Jin and Namjoon were to your right, and Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook sat on the other side. Unlike most sleepover traditions, it wasn't a scary movie because some of the group hated them, so everyone just watched whatever was recommended. Everyone was talkative at first, not paying attention to the huge screen, until about midway when it started getting interesting.

The movie ended on a cliffhanger, implying there was a second movie of which. Personally, you didn't like it that much, but you enjoyed the boys company, so you decided it was best to continue, instead occupying yourself by resting your head on Yoongi's shoulder and playing with Hoseok's phone.

It was around half eight by the time it finished, and everyone became restless.

The ending was pretty sad, but you weren't one for soppy movies. You turned to see Hoseok and Taehyung bawling their eyes out, however. "Ah, why did she have to die?!" They cried, and Yoongi scoffed, "It was a dog, guys,"
They both cried harder after that, and everyone edged away from them slowly.
"Uh, who's down for drinks?" Namjoon asked, and practically everyone raised their hands, even Hobi and Tae.

That's how you would probably end up Ill, but oh well, you shrugged, I guess everyone else will be, too.
As everyone settled back into the living room, you stood awkwardly, watching everyone pick up drinks and join in activities - knowing exactly what to do in the situation they were in. Although, you didn't know what to do. You'd never been drunk before.

"Y/N! Come have a drink," Jimin called you over to the table, and you smiled awkwardly. "Uh, I'm not sure-"
"Try this," he interrupted, handing you a red cup filled with some kind of liquid. "What is it?" You asked, swirling it around. He smiled, "It's not too strong."
I'm sure that was helpful.
You shook your head, deciding to drink it anyway. You drank the first half in one go, and Jimin looked in awe. "Oh my god, chug it y/n!" He exclaimed, grabbing the attention of the people around.
