Jungkook raised another glass and put it against his lips. Without hesitating, he poured a transparent liquid to his mouth, wincing gently as the burning alcohol flowed down his throat. He no longer knew which glass he had today. He wasn't going to limit himself. All he wanted was for his thoughts to stop coming back to the vampire and finally he started to get the impression that the alcohol he was drinking was bringing the intended result. He felt his muscles relax, his head begins to spin nicely, and his thoughts starting to resemble chaos. He set his glass down on the bar and gestured to the bartender to give him another queue.

- Jungkook, don't you think you've had enough? - Asked Jimin, worried.

They've probably been sitting here for three hours. Since they entered, Jungkook has not stopped drinking. He hardly said a word, only poured glass after glass. Jimin knew that as a hybrid he had a much greater tolerance to alcohol, but for a long time he had seen that the percentage he consumed began to hit him. At his words brunet only gave him a scolding look.

- Y-you weren't supposed to speak... - He muttered. His head was spinning, he needed to focus more so that his words wouldn't sound like drunken gibberish.

- Jungkook, maybe you want to talk? - Jimin said again, looking intently at his friend. The brunet only reached for the glass in front of him and drank it at once, wincing again as the alcohol flowed down his throat.

- Do I look like I want to talk? - He laughed sarcastically, giving the vampire a furtive glance.

Jimin said nothing. He only watched him in silence, hoping that the younger would finally get to the conversation. He knew that what had happened was still circling his head and was just waiting for the right moment for the boy to finally lower his guard and allow himself a sincere conversation. And he was not wrong. Jungkook played with the empty glass for a moment, twirling it between his fingers, then looked at Jimin.

- D-do you think that it was all a lie? - He finally asked. His tongue was a little tangled. He felt the taste of alcohol in his mouth and had a confusion in his head, but the only thing he was still thinking about was V. On this question, Jimin's face softened immediately.

- No, Jungkook. I'm sure V really cares about you. I will not defend him and say that he did well. He knows he did the wrong thing not telling you about your father. But he only tried to protect you...

- So why h-he lied to me?! - Jungkook asked in a raised voice.

The alcohol consumed intensified the emotions swirling in him. There was pain and disappointment mixed with anger in his words. He was furious. He was furious that V had hidden the truth from him. That his father hurt him so many years ago and at himself that he can't stop him now that he wouldn't do it again.

- How do I know that what he said to me is true, since he lied for such a long time?

He again pointed to the bartender to fill his glass. As soon as he poured him soju again, Jungkook drank another portion of alcohol at once. Jimin opened his mouth to say something when suddenly a loud chuckle interrupted him. They both looked sideways. Two young girls came to the bar. Around their age, they both apparently drank a little too much. One of them looked at Jimin, then at Jungkook and a big smile appeared on her lips.
