Jungkook first did drugs when he was seventeen years old. To be fair, it was an accident. He was looting Namjoon's snack drawer in his desk for something sweet, and had rejoiced in finding a small cookie wrapped in plastic. Yoongi liked to bake from time to time, so Jungkook had just assumed that his hyungs were holding out on him. Out of spite, he ate the cookie and left.
Not too long after, he started feeling weird. The last time he had felt this loopy was when he got his wisdom teeth taken out and the dentist had doped him up on painkillers, so he knew something wasn't right. Then, Namjoon barged into the studio and demanded to know whether or not Jungkook had eaten the cookie he had in his snack drawer, to which Jungkook confessed. The cookie, unbeknownst to Jungkook, had been an edible. Namjoon, Yoongi, and Hoseok then proceeded to briefly panic before taking away Jungkook's phone, sitting him down on the couch in his studio and staying with him to ensure he didn't do anything stupid while he was high out of his mind.
Jungkook wasn't too bad to be around while he was high. He was just even more giggly and hungry than he already was normally. When Jungkook came down from his high, he got a stern talking-to from his hyungs, and he thought that that was going to be the end of his experience with drugs. But then, he went on his third world tour when he was eighteen. Partying became something he liked to do, and thanks to Hoseok's genius in the PR department, it stayed fairly under the radar that he partied, and he partied hard.
Drugs were slowly integrated into his life after that. He would smoke weed with his hyungs after a successful show or an album release, or even just to relax after a long day. After reading about The Beatles' writing process, he decided to drop acid. This produced most of the songs on his fourth album, and turned out to be a good method for him creatively. It was after this album, though, that he was sat down for another discussion.
"Listen, we don't care about the bud or the LSD." Yoongi had said. "We care about the hard stuff. The addictive stuff. What you're doing is child's play compared to that shit."
"Just stay away from the pills, the white powder, and the injections. No painkillers, no cocaine, no heroin. That fucks people up." Namjoon had instructed him.
"We love you, Jungkookie. We're not gonna police your life, since you deserve to be a normal guy who can make his own decisions. But that shit will make your life a living hell." Hoseok had explained.
Jungkook nodded and promised them he wouldn't. He hadn't been lying, he truly had no intention of getting into anything harder than acid. Hallucinogens and psychedelics were one thing, but stuff like that was a completely different beast that Jungkook wanted nothing to do with.
Until he was in the bathroom at a crowded club, furiously making out with the boy who had ripped Jungkook's heart clean out of his chest for him to wear on his sleeve. Jungkook pulled back to breathe with dark, lustful eyes trained on the smirking man before him. The Person Who Shall Not Be Named, or TPWSNBN, for short. He reached into the pocket of his jeans and withdrew a little baggie of white powder. Persuasive words left his swollen lips, though Jungkook can't quite remember what they are now. He's fairly certain it doesn't matter—TPWSNBN could have asked anything and Jungkook would have done it. So Jungkook leaned down over the porcelain of the sink and snorted his first line and let the electric buzz rush through his veins and send his body into a dazed euphoria.
