"I have an idea" a slightly drunk Jimin declared as Jin returned to the living room making excuses to why he took so long "Whoever can manage to out drink everyone else gets a pot of 150,000 won!"

"Oh for gods sake not this again Jimin!" Izzy cried out from where she was curled next to Jungkook, her argument with Maddie had taken most of her energy "Last time we did this drinking game we had to nurse Taehyung back to health for days after."

"You're just worried because you ended up crying under our kitchen table about how much you loved all of us" Jungkook teased in response from next to her, causing his girlfriend to give him a playful slap.

"Now this is a story I would love to hear" Maddie declared, looking over at her sister with the sort of teasing grin Izzy hated so much.

"It's not one you are going to hear" Izzy quickly cut back in response. "And it's one that will not be repeated because we are not going to fall for your stupid plans Park Jimin."

"What you scared you won't win?" Jimin taunted. Izzy watched Maddie look between the two, Jimin was using a trick Maddie had employed throughout her childhood. You only had to ignite Izzy's competitive side in order to get what you want. Maddie had the sort of look on her face that made Izzy feel inadequate, Izzy knew that Maddie could out drink her any day, and that Maddie was easy going and more fun to be around.

Izzy had always been the straight-laced, rule book type and Maddie had been the opposite. Izzy had missed out on the fun Maddie indulged in too early, but since leaving home, and once she went to university Izzy found ways to have fun and she was fun. She was. But Maddie didn't think so and would likely never think so. Izzy always had to be such a good example around Maddie, but now maybe she could show her a fun side, prove that she wasn't boring.

"Oh it is so on Park" Izzy spat back. "We all know that you'll be on the floor within mere minutes."

"If we all put in 18750 won we can make the pot" Namjoon suggested, his quick mental maths ever being baffling.

"How does he do that?" Maddie whispered to Taehyung who was sitting next to her.

"No one knows - his mind moves faster than lightning" Taehyung replied, his words already slightly slurred.

Everyone agreed on putting money in, all spreading out throughout the apartment to find various wallets and purses. Maddie followed her sister into the hall where her bag sat discarded near the door.

"Iz, how much money are we talking about back home?" Maddie asked, as Izzy pulled out her purse and began to pull out various won bills.

"Um... about £13 I think" Izzy answered, counting up the bills in her hand.

"I didn't bring any money, so could you cover me and I'll pay you back it's just-"

"Maddie don't be stupid, you're a guest. None of the boys are expecting you to pay" Izzy laughed standing up and starting to direct her sister back to the living room. "Plus you're a minor, you can judge" she added, bopping her sisters nose before heading back into the party.

Maddie immediately saw through Izzy, she was easy to read, she always had been. Izzy didn't want Maddie embarrassing her in front of these friends by getting far too drunk, so Maddie nodded reluctantly.

Reaching the living room, everyone placed various bills in the centre of the expensive wood coffee table in the middle of the room before all returning to their various seats. Maddie somehow ended up between Izzy and Jin on the hugest sofa, but couldn't help feel excited for the evening to come. She had a pretty impressive alcohol tolerance after years of building it up and was a bit disappointed her sister wouldn't even let her have a few drinks.
