"Do you want to learn my real name?"

"Uri, Uri, Uri," Taehyung mumbled to himself.

The name rolled off his long tongue easily, but it seemed so foreign to him. Taehyung was sure there were other people with the name 'Uri,' but he never met someone with that name.

Taehyung bit the middle of his pink tongue and stuck his tongue out. He was fooling around at that point. He didn't know why she suddenly told him her name. He was curious, sure, but she didn't have to tell him.

"Lazuli?" he quietly questioned.

That didn't sound right to Taehyung anymore. He didn't like that name. He preferred Uri more.

"What are you doing? You look so childish," Uri said as she walked into the room, holding the door open for Diamond as she wheeled the lunch cart in.

Taehyung immediately stuck his tongue back into his mouth and stared at her with wide eyes. "N-Nothing. I was just...bored."

Uri gave him an unconvinced look, but let it slide. She watched as Diamond set up Taehyung's lunch and uncuffed him. Diamond handed the key back to Uri and left the room after bowing to her.

"Remember what I told you, okay? Don't tell anyone my real name. They'll probably kill us both," Uri advised.

"Why'd you tell me anyway?" Taehyung courageously asked.

"My, my, how brave. You asked me in the beginning, didn't you? You asked me what my name was and I said I didn't have one. I just thought I should quench your thirst for curiosity," she replied.

"Quench my thirst? What do you—what do you mean?"

"Haven't you noticed, Tae? You're an alcoholic. You always need something to drink—something that will easily go down your throat with a burn. You want to feel the same pain you emotionally feel because of your whole situation. It's not even a secret you're a raging, sexy alcoholic."

"Did you just call me sexy?"

"Is that all you got from what I just said?"
