Taehyung's POV

I take a three-hour nap and wake up to an empty house. I immediately remember that Jennie's party is today. The others must've left without me.

I quickly put on my outfit: a white sweater and black jeans. I find a black leather jacket in my closet and throw that on too.

I don't even want to go to this stupid party. I don't want to see Jimin there because he'll probably just give me cold stares and ignore me the whole time. I'll be reminded yet again that I'm just an idiot. Why did I ever pay attention to my feelings? All they did to me was make me even lonelier than I was before.

I step into my car and drive to the party anyways. I'd rather do something with my life than sit around in a big, empty house drinking alcohol all night.

As I drive through the quiet streets, I tell myself that everything will be okay. I have a reputation with the public of being a party lover, so I should try to live up to that expectation.

What happened to the Taehyung that always had fun?

I want to become that Taehyung again.

But it turns out falling in love isn't fun at all.

Jennie opens the giant double doors and pulls me into the mansion. Loud music fills my ears and the heat of people dancing washes over me.

"Welcome, Taehyung!" Jennie shouts over the music. "Come join us over here, we were just about to start a game."

She grabs my wrist and drags me further into the house. We pass the living room, where most of the dancing is taking place. She brings me into the game room, which is only a little quieter. A few guys are playing pool on one side of the room, and on the opposite side is a small group of people.

I recognize everyone in this group. Seokjin, Hoseok, Namjoon, Jimin, Jungkook, and Y/N are sitting in a circle.

"Taehyung-ah!" Hoseok exclaims loudly. "You came!" His words are slurred, which could only mean he's drunk.

Jimin's head shoots up and he grins at me, his eyes only half open.

"Taehyung, baby!" He yells. "Come sit next to me." He pats an empty spot on the ground with his hand.

I sigh and reluctantly sit next to a drunk Jimin. He places his hand on my inner thigh and I instinctively smack his hand away, my face burning.

Jennie joins the circle carrying a bottle of soju and a shot glass. She pretty much sits on Seokjin's lap as she puts the bottle in the center.

I scoff in disbelief as Seokjin's arm snakes around Jennie's waist. I can't believe he was actually being serious about having a girlfriend.

"Let's play truth or dare, but with a twist." She announces. "Namjoon, Y/N, Jungkook, and Taehyung are still sober. They're not having as much fun as they should be! So if any of you refuse to answer the truth or do the dare, you have to take one shot." She points to the bottle of soju.

Namjoon sighs and shakes his head. "I'm not planning on getting drunk."

"Me neither." Y/N says.

I murmur in agreement.

"Ok, fine." Jennie laughs. "Either take a shot or jump into the pool." She points to the sliding doors leading to the backyard, where an empty color-changing pool waits.

"Let's play!" Hoseok shouts excitedly.

"I'm gonna go to the dj table." Jungkook says as he stands up. "I'm not old enough to drink! How many times do I have to tell you guys..."
