Before You Go • VHOPE [On Hold]

Chapter 6: Party

Feeling afraid to die isn't going to change the fact that I'm dying.

The only thing I can try is, to embrace my fear.

───※ ·❆· ※───

They arrive at a house where the supposed party was being held. Weirdly enough, Taehyung hadn't let go of his hold on Hoseok's arm the whole way there.

As they reached the entrance and stood infront of the door, Hoseok called him.

"Um, Taehyung?"

"Yeah?" Taehyung looked back at him.

Hoseok gestured down to his hand and Taehyung following his eyes, let out, "Oh," he let go. He slightly pouted and rang the doorbell.

In a minute, someone arrived and opened the door, grinning at his sight, "Taehyung, you made it! Oh, and you brought a friend!" The guy smiled.

"Yes, Jin. This here is Jung Hoseok."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Kim Seokjin." He extends his hands and grabs Hoseok's abruptly, only to shake them while the other guy could practically hiss if he wanted to.

Hoseok nodded lightly while Kim Seokjin kept shaking him mindlessly. He looked like an energetic person. Soon he let go and asked them to come in before he walked off, "Close the door on your way, please~" He blended into the crowd of people.

"Come inside," Taehyung led the way and closed the door after Hoseok entered. Taehyung was beaming a smile as he looked around the house, people dancing, chatting, and music playing loudly.

"Let's get something to drink!" Taehyung absent-mindedly holds Hoseok's hand again and leads the way to the kitchen.

"I- I can't drink alcohol."

"Yeah? Why?" Taehyung muttered thoughtfully, looking through the glasses before picking one cup up and smelling it, "God. This is just fruit punch." He frowned, looking disappointed.

He held another one out to Hoseok, "Here. You can drink fruit punch, right?"

Hoseok took the cup without saying anything, nodding. Taehyung smiled as he saw the guy sip while his eyes curiously and anxiously looked around.

"Nervous?" Taehyung chuckled.

Hoseok glared at him, pouting, "I told you I don't like parties."

"Right."

"What?"

Taehyung sang out, "That is why we're going to be a part of this party~" He once again held onto him and dragged him through his protest.

"God. Kim Taehyung!" He groaned and tried to break away but the jolly person led him into the room and made him stand by the table on his opposite. Beside them were other people playing flip cup.

"Okay. Get set, let's start!" The commentator announced, others at the party were cheering onto the two teams as each person chugged their non-alchoholic drink down and attempted to flip the cup.

"Taehyung, I don't want to do this." Hoseok whispered nervously as he looked at the other strangers in his side of the team.

"If you win, I will listen to you and do whatever you want." Taehyung smirked playfully.

"Wait-" Hoseok was about to say something but got interrupted as the people next to them had accomplished chugging down their drink and flipping the cup so it lands face-down, with Taehyung's side in the lead.

Taehyung had already started drinking and Hoseok, though surprised, began gulping down his own cup, watching Taehyung from his side. He was done quickly and placed the cup on the table, desperate to beat Taehyung as he attempted to flip the cup, everyone was cheering on and though he felt anxious, there was this nervous grin that had found it's place on his lips for a brief while, all his worries gone as his sole focus was getting this cup to flip properly.

Taehyung was done drinking just that moment and placed the cup down, eyeing Hoseok while his own body felt warm and excited knowing he can't possibly lose. He pulled the cup to the edge quickly and snapped using his fingers, making the cup flip back on the tableㅡ landing face-down without falling aside, on his very first attemptㅡ that day, atleast. Everyone cheered and shouted.

Hoseok gasped. His side of the team moaning in defeat, but clapping to acknowledge their rivals.

Hoseok looked at Taehyung, a little pouty. And Taehyungㅡ he just intently grinned back at him and whispered with a smug look.

"Now you have to do whatever I want."
