Lovely

Not knowing what it's like at home for these two, Lee felt bad for Jeongguk and asked the older, "did you two have a fight or something? Either way he should sit in front..."

The younger who had been nervously fidgeting with his fingers behind Lee spoke up, "no, it's fine I-I'll sit in the back." Taehyung's friend truly felt bad but then again if they really did have a fight, who was he to intervene? Quietly, Jeongguk climbed into the back of the olders car and buckled himself in. Lee also got in and punched his friend in the arms.

On the drive there, the two chatted and laughed while the boy sat quietly in the back staring off into empty space. Maybe he was sulking to himself. Lee who had seen Jeongguk as a rebellious kid had now changed his mind. His friends and him might act up once in a while and look tough but looking closely, the younger seemed kind and naïve.

The bar that Jimin and Namjoon had chosen was further away from the school then they thought so Lee got curious and asked the boy, "hey Jeongguk, is that place their favorite bar or something?"

Finally having someone talk to him, the younger was almost too eager to respond but managed to suppress the want to answer quickly. Looking up he cautiously answered, "it's close to their place so they won't need to drive home since they'll be wasted." Wow that's pretty smart, Lee thought to himself before nodding and turning his head back to face the front.

Finally they had reached the bar, "why don't you guys go in first, I'm gonna look for parking." Taehyung waved the two off as he drove around. Maybe it was because most people don't have work or school tomorrow due to the break but, there was literally no spots opened. Almost going in circles for 15 minutes now the older got irritated and just decided to go a little further away than he wanted. Assholes would probably mess with my car... oh well.

Walking back didn't take too long as he looked at some new stores that he'd never seen before, some were intriguing while others looked as if they'd be out of business soon. He also walked by a few branches of his parents company but soon he arrived back at the bar entrance. I won't drink tonight.

Telling himself this, he slowly walked inside. The bar wasn't anything special, just large. Scanning around at the entrance and seeing that the group was no where to be seen, he pulled out his phone ready to dial Lee's number. But before he could, he heard his name being called. Lifting his head up quickly he saw that Lee was waving and pointing towards the private rooms. Ah of course.

Sitting down next to his friend, he greeted Jeongguk's two friends and completely ignoring the boy.

After a while of them chatting and drinking Jimin got curious, "hyung, you're not gonna drink? You've only seen drinking water and sparkling salty lemonade." Taehyung chuckled and mentioned, "well I'll still have to drive home unlike you two, and Lee... Lee could go catch a bus or something."

Namjoon had a smug grin on his face and playfully commented, "awwww hyung are you not drinking so you could bring Jeonggukie home?" Being the great brother he was, Taehyung smiled and nodded before looking over at the boy. The younger had a habit of chugging his drinks quickly before moving on to the next and currently he was  gulping down another glass.

Ignoring this the older went back to his chatting, this is fun... I'll stay for a little while longer.

Checking his watch after a little while his eyebrows twitched, it was already 10:00pm... standing up he stretched and cracked his neck, "guys I'm gonna head out with that thing over there." He pointed at Jeongguk who had knocked out a couple of minutes ago. The rest of the group laughed drunkenly before waving them off, "Lee you're staying right?"
"Yep!"

Taehyung pulled the boys arm around his shoulders and started to drag him out of the private room. Pulling him effortlessly through the bar, Jeongguk suddenly opened his eyes groggily and slurred, "pay money?"

The older sighed and ended up piggy bagging him to make his own life easier. And as the younger had mentioned, he walked over to the receptionist and told them to charge his card for the groups drinks at the end and they obliged.

Parking my car far away was not a good idea... With Jeongguk muttering to himself on his back, the older began to walk down the street towards the direction of his car. Passing through lit up store fronts the youngers eyes glowed, "shopping?" Taehyung looked back at him and shook his head, "no we're going home."

Suddenly Jeongguk pushed and hopped off his brothers back, falling down onto the pavement but got up like nothing happened, "we shopping!"

I fucking swear to god. Taehyung cursed to himself.
