love is a joke (michaeng)

-For the love of GOD, would you two get off of me!

"Mina you look FINE, stop stressing!" Chaeyoung groaned, as Mina checked over her appearance in the mirror for what seemed as though the fiftieth time. 

"I don't want to look under-dressed, do I?" Mina shot back, patting down her hair. 

"Nobody will care, everyone's going to be drunk anyway by the time we get there. Hurry up, Sana called us an HOUR ago..." The younger girl whined in response, laying back on Mina's bed as the older girl looked over her outfit one last time.

An hour ago, Mina had received a frantic call from none other than Minatozaki Sana, insisting that they absolutely HAD to come to some party in order to get Nayeon's mind off of 'things' ('things' being Momo). 

So that was why Mina and Chaeyoung were now leaving Mina's place, making their way to whatever address Sana had sent them, with Mina already wanting to go back to her bed. 

"Chaeyoung... I think we should go home. We could watch a movie and order pizza, or just nap?" Mina muttered as they approached a house around the corner of the street they had been walking along. In comparison to Jeongyeon's little party get-together that had occurred a while ago, this one was HUGE.  The house was immensely large, with people pouring in and out of the front door, holding drinks and cigarettes. 

"Mina. We're here now, let's stay for a bit at least, yeah?" Chaeyoung answered, pleading with her eyes. 

"Fine. But if you end up drunk, I'm not taking care of you..." She threatened, as Chaeyoung dragged her up the drive, into the house.

Dahyun watched helplessly as Nayeon and Sana stood dancing on the kitchen island, both girls dreadfully drunk. They had only been at the party for barely over an hour and already the majority of people were heavily intoxicated. Dahyun sighed as she glanced back and forth between the two older girls, not really knowing what do do with them.

"Someone save me..." She muttered under her breath, and as if by magic, Chaeyoung and Mina shuffled into view, weaving their way in and out of the many, many people who were crammed into the house. 

"CHAENG! SAVE ME!" Dahyun yelled, trying to make her voice heard over the heavy bass of whatever EDM trash was playing in the background.

Her yells caught Mina's ears, as she glanced over and raised her eyes at the scene. She grabbed Chaeyoung's wrist, pulling her towards Dahyun, who was circling round the kitchen island, trying to make sure the two girls didn't fall off.

"Dahyun... You good?" Chaeyoung asked with a laugh. 

"No, I need a drink... Keep an eye on them two, yeah?" Dahyun huffed, as she swiftly turned around and slid away, despite Chaeyoung's protests. 

"Dahyun, you come back here!"

Mina just shook her head, muttering about how she KNEW they shouldn't have come. She reached up and tugged at Sana's sleeve. "Sana, come down and dance with me, yeah? On the ground?"

Sana grinned down at the younger girl and nodded in agreement, jumping (dangerously) down from the island, beckoning Nayeon to follow. "Minariiiiii, when did you get here?" Sana asked, swaying to and fro, occasionally in time with the music. 

"Five minutes or so... I came with Chaeyoung. Speaking of which, where is she?" Mina answered, scanning her surroundings for the younger girl. 

Nayeon popped up by Mina's side, giving the girl a tight hug. 

"You know... The only reason you can't see Chaeng is because she's SO damn short, right Sana?" Nayeon giggled, giving Sana a nudge as she hummed in agreement. Mina laughed at these slurred words, giving up on her search for Chaeyoung and instead joining the other two in their strange dances, accepting the drinks Sana threw her way. 

-

Chaeyoung chased behind Dahyun, grumbling under her breath about the irresponsibility of her friend. As the pair stumbled through the back door, Dahyun let out a content sigh. 

"Much nicer out here isn't it?" She said, smiling at Chaeyoung. 

"Uh, yeah sure. It's pretty quiet," Chaeyoung answered, nodding as she looked around the garden. Apart from the few couples dotted around making out, arguing or just chilling, there was no one there. As peaceful as you could get at a party.

A few moments of silence settled, before being interrupted by an alarmed gasp from Dahyun. "Isn't that..." She spoke, squinting her eyes in the direction of one of the couples. 

Chaeyoung followed Dahyun's gaze, raising her eyebrows at what she saw. "Yeah, that's them for sure. I did NOT see that coming."

"We can't let Nayeon see them. It'll break her heart," Dahyun answered, tugging at Chaeyoung's sleeve in the direction of the house.

Nodding in agreement, Chaeyoung followed close behind.

As they made their way back inside, Chaeyoung kept an eye out for Mina, not being able to spot the girl anywhere. 

"Yo Dahyun?" She asked, "Can you see Mina anywhere?"

Dahyun swivelled around, scanning the room for the said girl's face, but to no avail. 

"Uhh, no sorry Chaeng- Wait... I can actually hear her for once though."

Sure enough, Mina's muffled yelling could be heard over the heavy bass that pulsed through the house. Chaeyoung groaned, not being able to see Mina anywhere, even though her voice was growing louder as the pair continued the search.

Dahyun sauntered over to Sana, who sat with Nayeon on top of a sofa, both girls passed out. 

"-For the love of GOD, would you two get off of me!" Mina's normally soft voice was replaced by an irritated slur of words, coming undoubtedly from below the two older girls. 

"CHAEYOUNG, I FOUND MINA!" Dahyun yelled, trying not to laugh at the scene in front of her. With Chaeyoung rushing to her side, the girls managed to roll off Nayeon and Sana from Mina, who emerged in a distinctly dishevelled state.

"Thanks..." She sighed, resting her head upon Chaeyoung's.

"Mina, you good?" Dahyun asked, diverting her attention from Sana. 

"Yeah... Think I might be a bit hungover tomorrow morning though...."

Chaeyoung shook her head with a grin, "Guess I'm gonna have to look after you, huh?"

"Shut up, let's go, I want to sleep," Mina hissed back, throwing the younger girl a playful glare.

"Guess I'll see you guys later... I've gotta sort out these two," Dahyun grumbled, gesturing towards Sana and Nayeon who lay peacefully asleep. 

"Have fun!" Chaeyoung laughed as she hooked her arm into Mina's, making their way back to the latter's house.
