Third person perspective

This was Taehyung's very first college party. It was unlike the fun, rave-like parties you see in movies. This one had a somber tone to it. Like everyone was having fun, but they were all there for a reason unknown to themselves. Maybe that was just Taehyung overthinking. His dark brown almond eyes scanned the room. Passing over every drunk and horny college face. He then put his attention on a stack of red solo cups sitting on the edge of a table he was leaning against. Taehyung grabbed one off the top and turned around to fill it with water from the sink. He wasn't much of a drinker.

Suddenly, the 21 year old boy heard a loud shout from across the room. Well, it wasn't just him that heard the ruckus, everyone heard it. Frankly, it was hard not to hear the exuberant wooing coming from a small-framed raven-haired boy. Taehyung looked at him quizzically. There was something charming about seeing someone you wouldn't think be the life of the party, be exactly that. In fact, Taehyung thought he was sort of cute, in a way he couldn't describe. Those thoughts were soon pushed aside when he felt a light brush on his back. "Hi cutie", was all that was heard behind him, "gonna offer me a drink?" Taehyung turned around to be met with blonde hair falling in the face of a girl who seemed too drunk for her own good. He wasn't interested already, but what made him even less interested was another shout coming from the short boy. Taehyung turned around, not saying a word to the girl, and she walked away with a quiet, "whatever".

Taehyung looked as he noticed the short boy walking towards him, the same red solo cup in hand. Taehyung looked the smaller boy up and down. He was clearly drunk, proving that by stumbling over to the table Taehyung was leaning over. Tae didn't know the boy, who looked to be younger than he, but he was very intrigued. He seemed almost too young to be at this party. Was he even a college student Tae wondered. He was wearing an oversized and slightly ripped grey sweater. Even though it was oversized, it draped over his body almost perfectly. This was accompanied by a pair of black skinny jeans. His raven hair sat perfectly on his head, only slightly messy. Taehyung decided to start the conversation, "Hi there", he stated with a bubbly tone, and a light smile. The smaller boy looked up and him, waving his index finger in the taller's face, "You are soo....pretty". Tae was thrown off by the sudden complement spilling from the boys drunken mouth. Taehyung returned with a smile and a thank you. "You're very drunk", Taehyung said, pointing out the obvious. "No you're drunk!" The boy exclaimed, laughing. Not even a second later, "You...you....should have my number!" he said slamming his cup down on the table causing the liquid inside to splash out. Taehyung looked down at the boy puzzled. Was he hitting on Tae? It sure seemed like it.

Taehyung said nothing as the boy looked around for a peice of paper, quickly spotting a magazine. He tore a jagged piece off one of the top corners, followed by looking for something to write with. Tae noticed a red pen next to the boy's hand. Clearly he was oblivious. Taehyung pushed the pen slightly to the left. The boy in front of him not even noticing him moving, but giving out a quiet "oh". Tae gave out a small chuckle as he watched the boy write out numbers. His eyes followed the pen and the diligence kept from the drunk boy. He showed a large, bunny-like smile as he wrote. Taehyung found it encapsulating. The boy outstretched a skinny arm that matched the rest of his small frame. "You're welcome", he said in a slur as he waved the torn paper in front of Tae. The taller boy, who was leaning in more towards the smaller one, took the slice of paper and inspected it shortly before putting it in his pocket next to his phone. He smiled and watched the drunken raven-haired boy slander off back into the crowd.

Taehyung turned his familiar keys to the left, hearing the engine die down. He looked out his window to his house, trying to conjure up a reason for being late. As soon as he came up with something, the front door swung open, showing his mother standing there, hands on hips. Tae tolled his eyes and decided it was time to get out of the car. "Sorry ma, I had to take Hoseok home. He had a little too much to drink"
"And you didn't drink, did you?"
"No ma".
She backed away from the entrance allowing Taehyung to come inside.
"I'm going to bed. I'm super tired". Tae reaches over giving his mom a hug, followed by quick footsteps up the flight of stairs to his right. Tae looked at his phone. It read '12:17'. He noticed the familiar scrap of paper from earlier fall from his pocket when taking out his phone. He looked at it for a minute before unlocking his phone and putting each digit into his contacts. Not a second later, he clicked 'message'.

Message:
Hey bunny boy. You gave
me your number at the party.
Sent - 12:20 a.m.

Just as he had expected, there was no immediate response. Tae clicked his phone off before resting it on a small table beside his bed. He let his back fall onto the plush comforters underneath him. He rolled over as he felt his eyelids go heavy. And with that, he was asleep.
