Lights flooded down across the colored, flickering tiles. Music blared throughout the large and stuffy room. Bodies rubbed up against one another amidst a mixture of sweat and lust, and we all stood leaning against the bar, drinks in hand. I wasn't comfortable with the situation, since I felt out of place. I swirled my finger around the rim to my glass of water and looked up at the other two.

"You know, I would have dressed more appropriately for the occasion had you two told me where we were going!" I yelled out over the thundering music, and the two laughed collectively.

"Tae just unbutton the top to your shirt and relax! You look fine!" Jimin grinned, taking a large drink from the glass in his hand. Jungkook reached forward, unbuttoning the first couple buttons to my shirt and revealing part of my chest. Immediately my hands flew to cover my love bitten skin, and the latter both gasped.

"Kim Taehyung are those hickies?! Let us see!" Jimin shrieked, setting his glass down and pulling my hands away quickly. I sighed in embarrassment and hid my face away in my hands, wishing I could disappear. "You and Joon must be pretty nasty I mean like, Kook, look at thes-"

"Enough enough!" I pulled away, buttoning my shirt back up and shaking my head to get my cheeks to cool down. Before they could protest, I made a change of subject. "So why did we come here? Are you two searching for somebodies?"

"Well," Jungkook huffed out, rolling his eyes as he gulped down the last to his beverage, "We're here for Jimin. We're gonna be his backup," The ravenette shrugged before he reached across the bar and grabbed another drink, slipping the bartender a few bills to pay. "Yoongi didn't want a long term relationship so they mutually split. We gotta get him back on his feet with a new man! Make sense?"

"So you think being drunk and making decisions is the right way to go?" I frowned. Had I known all of this information, I would have arranged a boys' night in and coddled the two. As I looked between the two, I could tell the alcohol they'd ingested was beginning to affect their inhibitions, and I sighed. Drunk Jimin in public was never a good idea, and me being here solely as the designated driver isn't any fun.

I peered down at the engagement band on my finger and watched as it flickered beneath the rays of the spotlights. Surely I could lure the boys out of this club once the alcohol really settled in. I could take them home and maybe we could watch some movies?

"Who wants to have a good time when sober? C'mon Tae, loosen up! You've been single before!" Jimin pouted, tapping his fingers against the top of the bar before he stepped over to Jungkook and began to dance with him. "Just have some fun!"

"Yeah Hyung!" The younger laughed, returning the lewdly gestured dance moves to Jimin. I watched as the two grinded on each other, and I found myself growing uncomfortable. Here were my two best friends just acting, well, like this, and right in front of me. A small part of me thought that they'd make a good couple, but I warded away the thought once I remembered they were drunk. I doubted they'd remember how grossly they were all over each other come the morning.

"Guys follow me! I have a surprise!" I gasped, putting on my best acting skills to reel them in. The two were clueless and they pleaded with me to show them, and I crossed my arms. "You'll have to let me take you there, first of all. I don't know if you're up for tha-"

"Yes we are!!" The two slurred, holding onto each other for stability. I smirked and picked up their coats they'd slung off, and hoaxed them out to the car. I buckled the two in the back seat and locked the doors as I got in. With that I further tricked them into closing their eyes until we got there.

As I pulled into the parking lot, I unlocked the doors and helped the two inebriated boys out of the car. I held their hands to make sure they wouldn't stray as we walked into the apartment building we lived in. I lead them to our apartment, and opened the door quietly. I brought the two inside, telling them to take off their shoes and jackets. They complied, and afterward I took them to their bedroom.

After having helped the two into lying down in bed, I went into the kitchen and arranged for them some pills to take come the following morning. With a couple glasses of water in hand alongside pills, I crept back into their bedroom and set the items on the nightstand. The two were drunkenly conversing, running each others hands throughout their hair and hyping themselves up.

I dimmed the lights in their bedroom and told them to keep quiet and rest, before stepping out of their room and closing the door behind myself. I knew inevitably they would chatter, though as long as it was hushed, it was okay.

I slipped back into Namjoon and I's bedroom, careful to make as minimal noise as possible. I stealthily took off the clothes I had on and eased onto our bed. To the dip my weight made, Namjoon shuffled, and I felt my breath catch in my chest. I watched him through the moonlight, and sighed in relief to find he was still asleep.

I brought myself beneath the covers and slipped over beside Namjoon, smiling at the presence of his warmth. Pressing my forehead into his back, I curled up, leaving one of my hands astray about his waist. I lied completely covered by the blankets, yet I never felt more at home. The feeling of Namjoon's steady breathing was comforting, and as was his hand as it clamped over mine gently.

I couldn't help but grin, feeling as if I'd been caught. A small giggle escaped my lips and I squirmed beneath the blankets as I felt my fiance shift so he was facing me. His arms wrapped securely about my waist and he tugged my body close against his. His cheek rested against mine and I could feel his smile as he nestled into me.

"Nigh' baby," he whispered groggily, placing a kiss to my cheek before he rested back into me and closed his eyes. I returned the sweet gesture before closing my eyes to catch some rest as well.
