"Great job all of you! I knew I could count on you!" Master Obi lifts up his beer, "Let's all drink to these brave wizards!" The lodge cheers and clinks each other's drinks. I look down at my cup of beer, examining it.

Jungkook notices my odd behavior and chuckles, "Is there something in your drink?" He takes a sip of his beer. I snap out of my thoughts and shake my head, "I never drank alcohol before."

Jimin overhears and walks up to us, "You never had alcohol before?! It's like the best thing ever!" He takes a shot, "Try it!"

I take a deep breath and sip from the cup. The weird, foreign taste makes my heart race. I lick my lips and savor the taste, "Not bad."

Jimin slaps my back, "There you go!" He takes another shot and walks away.

I laugh while watching him, "Was he always like this?" I ask Jungkook.

"Oh yeah. Jimin loves his drinks." Jungkook takes another cup of beer after finishing his other one. I place my hand over the cup just before it reaches his lips, "I don't want you to pass out." I chuckle. Jungkook smiles and places the cup down, "Alright I'll take a break."

"Destiny!" Eddie walks over to us. I notice that he has a glass of water in his hand. Maybe he doesn't drink.

"What's up?" I smile at the brunette. He rubs his neck nervously, "Can I talk to you for a moment?" He glances at Jungkook, "Alone?"

I notice Jungkook's jaw clench, but he covers it up with a fake smile, "I'll leave you two alone." He grabs his beer as he walks away.

Jeon Jungkook

"Woah what's with that face man?" Jin pokes my cheek. I slap his hand away and take a big gulp of my beer, "Nothing."

"Still nothing huh?" Taehyung chimes in. He keeps his eyes on me as he sips from his cup. I click my tongue and watch Destiny and Eddie talk. She's smiling at him while he's talking with hand motions.

Jin and Teahyung follow my gaze, "They look cute together don't they?" Jin chuckles. I grit my teeth, "So cute."

Taehyung smirks, "You're jealous."

My eyes widen and my face heats up, "Huh?"

Jin raises his eyebrows, "Ooh that's why your glaring at them!"

"Shut up!" I take another gulp of my drink, "He told me he was going to ask her out the other day." I tell them.

"And you're jealous because you like her?" Taehyung continues to smirk. I scoff, "I don't like her! I'm just looking out for her. She's still new here and she doesn't need to be rushed into a relationship."

"Sure." Jin nudges Taehyung's arm and they both laugh. I send them a glare which causes them to shut up.

"Look Kook, if you have a problem with him asking her out then why didn't you say anything?" Jin asks. I shrug, "I don't know." I look at Destiny and Eddie again. My heart clenches as I see her cheeks red along with Eddie's. He then walks away from her and she makes her way towards me. I gasp and quickly look away, taking another sip of my beer. I can feel myself getting tipsy already.

"Good luck." Taehyung says with a wink before walking off with Jin. I sigh and lean my head back.

"Jungkook you won't believe what just happened!" Destiny taps my shoulder. I turn around and give her a fake smile, "What happened?"

Her cheeks turn pink and she gushes, "Eddie asked me out! We're going out on a date tomorrow night."

I take a long sip of my drink and lower my eyebrows from the strong taste, "That's awesome."

Destiny tilts her head with a sideways smile, "Are you drunk?"

I furiously shake my head, "No! I'm perfectly fine!" I wave my arm, "I'm so happy that you and Eddie are going out! He told me he was planning to do it anyway."

Destiny's brows raise, "He did? When?"

I lean against the wall, "After we trained a few weeks ago." I slur and hiccup. Destiny blushes again, but it fades once she realizes the state I'm in.

"Maybe we should head home, you don't look well." She grabs my arm, but I push her hand away. She looks annoyed as she tries to grab me again, "Jungkook—"

I slap her hand this time, "Go hangout with your boyfriend over there!"

A wave of hurt passes through her eyes. She frowns and steps back, "He's not—you know what? I will." She stomps away. A voice in the back on my mind is telling me to run after her and apologize, but my drunk state doesn't listen. Instead I just watch her walk away. My heart clenches as she sits with Eddie.

Destiny Hart

"I'm just worried about him." I tell Eddie. I look back at Jungkook to see him having a conversation with Taehyung.

Eddie gives me a reassuring smile, "He's just drunk. I'm sure he didn't mean to snap at you like that."

I look away from Jungkook and nod at Eddie's words, "You're right. He has other people to take care of him as well."

"You know I stopped drinking when I was seventeen." Eddie chuckles and takes a sip of his water.

"Why's that?" I ask. I decide to stop drinking for the night. One beer is enough for me.

"It was the first time I got drunk. Long story short I ended up getting alcohol poisoning." He cringes while recalling the memory. I gasp, "Shit. I'm glad you're okay now."

"Yeah." He shakes his head with a smile, "I am too."

"So." I drawl, "About our date tomorrow."

"I told you it's a surprise." He winks. My cheeks flare, "I know! I hate surprises through." I trail off. Eddie pokes my arm, "Well then you'll like this surprise."

It is now past midnight. Everyone is heading home. I went to check on Jungkook and bring him home, but Taehyung and Hoseok told me that they'll bring him back to the house. I ended up walking home with Eddie.

"See you tomorrow Destiny." Eddie unexpectedly kisses my cheek before walking away. I stand there, a blushing mess on my front porch. My hand covers the spot where his lips were. My smile never leaves my face as I head inside the house. Once I enter, I'm greeted by Jungkook sleeping peacefully on the couch. He's curled up in a ball and snoring softly with his mouth open. I chuckle at how adorable he looks and grab a blanket from the closet. I stand over him and place the blanket on top of him. He pulls the blanket over his chin and snuggles into it.

"Goodnight Jungkook." I brush a few strands of hair that's in his face and then head upstairs to go to bed.
