Badboy [Im Jaebum X Male!Reader High School AU]

"So what are we supposed to do here?" Jaebum questioned, slowly getting used to the strange atmosphere.

"What do you do at a bar?" (M/n) questioned Jaebum as if he was asking a little kid.

"Drink...?"

(M/n) nodded and reached for a couple bottles of liquor from behind him. "Not enough to get wasted, but just enough to get a buzz." He said while going into the back and coming back with multiple fruit juices. "Can you hold your liquor?" (M/n) teased Jaebum while making a drink and sliding it towards Mark.

Puffing his chest out, Jaebum nodded confidently. Oh how he would come to regret that. First, (M/n) made the rest of the guys their drinks. They all started sipping on their drinks while (M/n) went back to the fridge to get more juices. No one noticed Youngjae slinking towards the jukebox before playing a random song.

(M/n) made himself a mixed drink, using mostly orange juice and pineapple juice with some grenadine, into the mixed drink. Jaebum didn't see him put alcohol into the drink but assumed he did, only in very small amounts.

"It seems you can't handle very much." Jaebum taunted.

"The art of drinking is knowing your limits." (M/n) stated. "So is there any drink in particular you like?"

"Surprise me."

(M/n) nodded, putting together a drink that had way more alcohol than his own. "You told me you could hold your liquor so I trust you on that." Was all he said before sliding Jaebum the drink.

In reality, Jaebum had never drank before, but after his confident display he could only hope for the best. (M/n) sat next to him on a bar stool, watching as the rest of his friends basically acted like dumbasses. Yugyeom was completely stone-faced while doing the most ridiculous dance imaginable, Youngjae was belting it out with the jukebox as if he were at karaoke, Jinyoung was right beside Youngjae, singing passionately. Then there was Jackson who was desperately pulling on Mark's arm, trying to pull him up to dance but Mark was not having it. Then there was Bambam. No one knew what the hell Bambam was doing. He was alternating between dancing, singing, and just being generally weird.

"Are you sure they're only just buzzed?" Jaebum asked while taking a slow sip of his drink.

"I'm sure. They're just being dorks." (M/n) said with a soft smile.

"(M/n) hyung and Jaebum hyung sitting in a tree-" Yugyeom started.

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G" All of the boys sang together with the exception of Mark and Jinyoung who valued their lives.

Both males got out of their chairs with a devilish intent. Youngjae was the first one to sense danger and took off running out of the bar. (M/n) grinned and chased after him as everyone fled from the two males. They ran outside wildly until the situation basically turned into a giant game of tag.

By the time the sunset started happening everyone was out of breath and panting. They all had the same dopey look of pure joy on their faces because this is what it meant to be young. The freedom that came with their youth took them higher than any amount of alcohol could.

"I think it's about time to head back." (M/n) murmured.

"Wait you're going to drive? Weren't you drinking? Who's going to drive the other car?" Jaebum questioned. He was not going to get into a car with (M/n) driving if he was buzzed, he already didn't have much faith in (M/n)'s driving skills while sober.

"I didn't drink." (M/n) admitted. "We alternate designated drivers. This time it's me and Jinyoung."

Jaebum was a little surprised, he didn't really expect them to have a plan. He honestly thought that every time they did this they drove home buzzed. Well, at least now he felt mildly safer knowing that (M/n) was sober.

He climbed into the nice car, sitting in the passenger seat. Mark and Jackson were in the back once more. Jaebum needed some time to sort his thoughts. (M/n) was infuriating in every way, but yet somehow still charming. Then again, it was only his first day and he'd have plenty of time to think about whether or not he thought of (M/n) as bearable or not.

The drive home was mostly quiet with only the sound of the radio playing. It was calming. First (M/n) drove to Jackson's house (which was like a mansion) and dropped him off. Next they stopped at Mark's house which was similar in size to Jackson's. And lastly (M/n) offered to take Jaebum home. Being too tired to disagree, Jaebum gave him his address and started dozing off.

He had a short nap until (M/n) told him they had arrived. Jaebum thanked him begrudgingly and (M/n) drove off back towards his house.

As soon as Jaebum stepped into the large house he was met with his parents sitting in the common room with worried looks that faded away to anger. "Where were you?!" His father demanded.

Jaebum straightened up, "I made new friends and we hung out after school." He explained shortly.

His mother's expression softened. "That's great sweetie! I'm glad you're already making friends."

"I hope these friends aren't like that Youngjae kid. I don't like him, you could do so much better." His father criticized.

Jaebum immediately felt defensive. "Youngjae is my best friend." He stated pointedly. His father just scoffed. "He was a bad influence."

Jaebum internally laughed. If they thought that Youngjae was a bad influence then they would think that (M/n) is Satan. After that small conversation with his parents, Jaebum went up to his room. He was still conflicted about his thoughts on (M/n). He didn't know how to feel about him, but the more he thought about it, the more bearable he became. Maybe (M/n) wouldn't be too bad after all.

As you may or may not have noticed, I changed the cover, title, and description. I feel like the new stuff fits it more but who knows, I might change it again later on.

As always, thank you for reading!!!!
