Love Again

Chapter 2 - Shots

Namjoon's P.O.V:

February 14

6:00 am

It's my usual wake up time. I got out of bed and went straight into the bathroom, walking exactly 6 steps to reach it. My toothbrush is placed 45'' vertically on the stand.

I took my toothbrush and squeezed approximately 1.5 cm of toothpaste on it. I put it in my mouth and placed the toothpaste back to where it belongs, which is 1 cm away from the left, 5 cm away from the right, 0.5 cm away from the front, 3 cm away from the back on the glass shelf.

I started brushing my teeth.

10 times on the left, 10 times on the right, 5 times on the inner side of the right teeth, same goes for the left one...

6:30 am

I was done in the bathroom, which includes washing my face and taking a quick shower, I won't sweat on the details. Next, it was time for tidying my bed.

I shuffled my blanket, flipping it on my bed and tucking the sides into the mattress. I fluffed my pillow and booster, placing it horizontally on the head of the bed. And with that, my morning routine was done.

6:45 am

I turned to grab my jacket which was hanging on my door and left my room. I walked down, my feet stomping on the wooden stairs as it made some creaking and bumping noises. I winced a little, hoping that the noises won't wake my parents up. For a guy with a height of 1.80 m, it is kinda hard to keep yourself quiet in situations like this.

I unlocked the door and went out.

7:45 am

After running for 45 minutes, I went to the nearby store to run some errands for my mother and bought my breakfast at the same time. I took out my keys and unlock the gate, then the door. I stepped in, just in time to find my parents in the dining room. They looked up for a second, then averted their eyes like they don't know me.

I silently put the groceries on the kitchen counter and went back upstairs.

It's just their usual greetings, or were they still angry of that 1 point I lost in my education?

Nevertheless, I went to my room and sat on my quite messy study desk. Among all the space in my room, my study space is the messiest as it will always have papers filled my thoughts flying all over the place. I picked up one of the papers and read it over and over again.

'Do you...do the fuck you want...'

How I wish life was that easy.

3:00 pm

I received a message, but I am in the middle of my study session so I ignored it.

3:30 pm

I wrapped up my study session, putting everything aside and took out my phone to check the message.

I rarely get any messages so it's something refreshing for me every time I got one.

And this was quite a refreshing one.

It was from the class clown, BamBam. Here to inform me about the class party by the beach, saying it's for a farewell and stress-relief party for finishing our first major assignments in university.

I scoffed, should I go?

5:00 pm

I stood in front of the mirror, fixing my hair again and again. It couldn't seem to stay in a place. I gave up eventually and stepped out of my room.

I looked left and right, checking my surroundings before truly stepping out of my shell. The floor creaked beneath my feet but I couldn't care less, I was getting a little stressed out, yet getting a little competitive and excited for the party. It could go really well, or it could turn into a total nightmare.

I smirked, this is interesting, a puzzle I have yet to solve.

5:30 pm

I reached the beach house, it was massive, that's all I have to say.

6:00 pm

I am someone invible, just a living being that doesn't exist in other's eyes. I pushed my thick glasses, lifted the cup of disgusting orange juice into my mouth just to go to the nearby trash can to puke it all out. Well, at least I did some observing here, might as well find inspirations here.

6:10 pm

I was finally noticed by the host and he introduced me to a few of his friends who I instantly forgot their names.

And after a few minutes of talking, I was lingering alone again.

7:00 pm

I found some papers and pens laying around the house so I collected them and sat on a couch by the fence, facing the huge ocean.

I wrote about the people who walked passed me, laughing and enjoying the moment; I wrote about the sea, it's calm appearance yet deadly nature; I wrote about the breeze, it caressed my skin as if it's calming me.

In such a loud and busy place, I somehow found peace in my mind. Hmm, I like this feeling. The feeling of freedom and stress-free.

7:30 pm

I was distracted from my peace as a busty girl approach me. She cling onto me, her chest pressing on my arm. They were quite soft, though she felt a bit cold on my heated body. I smirked, I am a guy after all.

We talked, I put my papers into the sling bag I brought with me. I was in a good mood anyways so I let myself go free, perhaps wildin' for the moment is allowed.

I let her trace her nails trail along my body as my hands started smoothing her body on mine. Yeah, the night ain't gonna be that bad I guess.

9:00 pm

I stopped her from kissing me.

We were cuddling and chatting for quite awhile now, though she did hinted to take the talking to the next level. Sadly, I am not here to let her ride me if that's what she thought.

I stood up, smiling politely at her as I excused myself to the bathroom to have a breather, her perfume was a little too intense. Her hair doesn't feel nice at all, it was all attached into her head with excessive amount of hairspray. I gagged a little from the smell, to think I have my peace for a moment and wasted them on that bitch.

I washed my face, refreshing and checking myself in the mirror before heading out.

The living room was filled with couples making out, which didn't surprised me because it is Valentine's day.

10:00 pm

I was minding my own business at the balcony, staring at the sky as I observe the horoscopes. There was the Southern Cross, it was just a tiny existence among all of the other star signs.

I heard someone shouted across the room, Shots competition it seems.

Not today, I told myself.

10:30 pm

I was dragged into the competition.

11:30 pm

I don't know what was happening, but I do remember taking the 10th shot of whiskey and them saying to move on to tequila...

11:50 pm

My head started spinning abnormally, like my consciousness is suddenly fading away.

11:55 pm

I don't remember much but I felt someone grabbing my hand and dragged me to an open space. It seemed like they placed something in my hand.

February 15

12:00 am

I regain some consciousness after being frighten by loud bangs and screams, but then I collapsed the next moment.
