Intoxicating [VMinkook]

Seventy

One Day At A Time- ATEEZ

Empty plates of cake is stored away, along with empty cups of soda thats now been replaced with alcohol. Not the strong kind thankfully,

Jeongguk didn't drink.

So didn't Jimin or Taehyung.

They'd rather not have a part two to what happened last time, or provoke it from happening.

Enough shit has happened already.

Meanwhile after seven bottles, Minho was a happy mess. There's music playing so him, Soyeon and Hoseok are going wild with their childish dances. Lisa watches fondly to her girlfriend, leaning a head against Jeongguk's shoulder as he watches the scene with a bunny smile and sparkling eyes while they sit at the wooden benches around the area of the lighthouse.

Yeosang is beside him to his other side, holding his boyfriend in his arms as he lays on his chest, laughing at the trio dancing with fingers interlaced with Yeosang's hand.

Johnny ended up joining them at one point, beer in hand with a chaotic smile on his lips, feeling light and happy to be with his friends as Taehyung ended up joining his boyfriend as well, or perhaps V did to express her bubbly self to the music.

Lucas is clapping at them from beside the heartbroken squad, who try to smile it off to the way they're bothered being in this small space together.

Jimin, Ten, Taemin, Felix and Woosung.

They're trying very hard to be presentable.

Very hard to not feel awkward or not scowl when someone speaks up, even Jeongguk, but as the night goes on, so does their patience.

And the music is not doing any great justice to Woosung's ears, but not like he's one to complain while being in his friend's birthday.

At one point Jimin stands up, unable to take this tension from where he's sitting, moving to around the space to go out of the glass door, closing it behind him to go to the bay thats around the outer layer of the lighthouse, almost like a porch. The chilly night is still cold but with his hoodie it doesn't feel so bad.

So he takes out a cigarette, trying to light it up with his lighter but the wind isn't exactly letting him be great at the moment.

Just one cigarette is all he fucking needs, damn!

Suddenly hands cups around his cigarette and hands, being a shield to the cold. Jimin finally lights it up and takes an inhale, right when he flickers his eyes up to see Lucas standing there.

Well he is someone unexpected.

Maybe refreshing, but definitely unexpected.

"Thanks," Jimin mutters, taking the cigarette between his fingers to exhale, "Why are you out here and not in there?"

They're leaning against the railing now, watching the ocean crash against the tough rocks as the wind gently caresses their skins lightly.

Like a hand, but not in a good way since it feels colder.

Lucas shrugs, looking at Jimin now, "It's not always fun to be lonely."

This perks a laugh from Jimin, taking a puff of his cigarette once again, "I'm not entirely lonely, thanks."

"I know you miss Taemin though."

To this Jimin couldn't say anything in return, only look at the ocean with his perplexed eyes and pursed lips, tapping the cigarette so dust of the ashes falls to the rocks.
