jimin didn't know what it was about the night, but the streets were empty, empty as though they were cleared out for them to have tonight. taehyung had come out with their plan and on their way they were. the liquor store by their apartment was the place to be, it was empty and the old man running it was aware of who they are, but was used to them and their security guards by now. so he didn't make a fuss over them, to which jimin paid him generously for. but out on their journey to taehyung's suggested location, jimin was happy to go along with as it gave them time to drink on the way there. "i'm afraid we're gonna have to drink these out of the bottle, won't we?" jimin cracked his open his bottle of peach soju, allowing taehyung to go ahead now that his own was open. honorifics shouldn't count between friends. watching taehyung open his, jimin leaned forward, reaching a hand to taehyung's bottle and tipping it slightly in his mouth, encouraging him to start off a bit quickly. wanting taehyung to loosen up for tonight. not because his best friend was uptight or anything, but taehyung worked so hard and he was prone to being sensitive to things people said and jimin knew ––even if he didn't say anything––that taehyung was a little off this comeback and he knew it had everything to do with sasaengs. "good god, how does it feel being the world's prince charming?" jimin couldn't help but start his teasing, "does it feel the way it sounds? i bet it feels great being a dream and completely closed off to love," jimin laughed.

it was a relatively quiet night and it was enjoyable to say the least. it was always the best when the streets of seoul weren’t loaded with people. taehyung was partially convinced it was because it was a chilly night so people couldn’t be bothered to be out -- thankfully he and jimin weren’t those people. that was how he had found himself with his best friend at one of the local stores, buying a few bottles of soju to satisfy them and most importantly, keep them warm. he always teased jimin about getting the peach flavor, knowing the alcohol percentage wasn’t as high; but he would admit that it was pretty damn tasty so he couldn’t blame his friend for going for the sweeter kind. taehyung however liked the bitter and pure soju. “since when has that been a problem?” he asked, an eyebrow raising slightly at jimin’s question. he twisted the lid off of his bottle and it took a moment for him to lift it to his mouth, but when he did, he got a bigger mouthful of the alcohol than he initially wanted; courtesy of his best friend. “disgusting,” taehyung murmured as his throat burned for a minute, “i feel like i just got rubbing alcohol poured down my throat. thanks, jimin-ah,” taehyung huffed once the warm feeling passed through his stomach, giving jimin a slight glare in the process. the younger rolled his eyes fondly at the other male's question, knowing his best friend was teasing for the hell of it. “feels great, of course,” the younger retorted with a grin. “remember when i said i look the part but don’t have the personality to match? do you see what i mean yet?” he brought up half-jokingly in response to what jimin had said about taehyung being a dream but closed off to love. raising the bottle of soju to his mouth and taking a proper drink this time, he sighed. “all i’ve done so far is disappoint myself but i’m working on not being as closed off, if that’s what we’re getting at.”

"since when has––that's not charming behavior for a prince, come on, taehyung!" jimin laughed, "see, that's the edge talking, i like that, it's sexy," he teased, gently bumping himself against taehyung. jimiin was satisfied with the amount he got taehyung to drink, truthfully not caring if it leaked down his cheek. "you're welcome, taehyungie, that's my job tonight, prince lothario, we're gonna get your sexy back and you need real alcohol to do it, i'm just here to make the process fun and attractive," jimin opened his arms, before polishing off half his bottle of soju, making a face, placing a hand over his chest with the way the soju warmed his stomach all at once, giving himself the mental image of smoke going up into his tongue, "fuck...it almost got me," he coughed once before standing back up and trekking forward. "i remember you saying that," jimin nodded, "what makes you think you don't have the personality? is it the instinct? your first response isn't to be  romantic? i mean, sometimes, you are very romantic, you know? with me...and the guys...and you're playing, but still.." jimin encouraged him. "talk to me about it, why do you think you've disappointed yourself? because as your best friend, it's my instinct to feel like you're being too harsh on yourself, but i wanna hear it from you."

“it’s an honest question,” he said in defence, “you know i stay drinking from the bottle. that’s why i get yelled at when it comes to drinking wine. glasses are overrated anyways,” he mumbled the last bit with a shrug. “that’s a fitting label for me, but does that make you king?” taehyung questioned teasingly. “i agree, i think i’m pretty immune to getting drunk off of soju by now. it makes me feel good but ehh,” he stated as they began their walk again to get something stronger. “not all the time, no. i usually always think ’what does this person want from me’ when i am approached in a romantic way or when i’m flirted with. my outlook on relationships has been ruined for a long time, i think. i’ve never got to experience anything normal when it comes down to it. it’s easy to be ‘romantic’ with you guys, i’m usually playing around and none of you take it seriously so it’s not hard when i know it’s not something serious.” taehyung tried to explain, the fresh air felt extremely refreshing during their walk, after pulling the hood on his sweater up over his head he slipped one of his hands into his pocket, the other still occupied with the soju bottle. “i’m a lustful person,” he then corrected after a moment of silence, “everyone has needs, or whatever the hell that saying is and a few people i have been with have mistaken it for romance in the past and it ends in disappointment for everyone involved. not that i get off hurting peoples feelings, fucking sucks, actually. but if you were to ask me what real love is? i couldn’t tell you.” he finished with a shake of his head, keeping his eyes looking ahead.

“you’re not wrong, i know i’m giving myself a hard time too but it feels impossible to sort my shit out,” one thing that happened when taehyung drank was that the filter between his brain and mouth was non-existent so he tended to think less about thing things he did and the things that could come out of his mouth. “i don’t really talk to any of you about it, even if we’re all so close, i just sit in my own thoughts. barely anyone ever tells me when something is wrong with them but I’m supposed to be an open book,” taehyung mumbled the last bit under his breath. he didn’t mean for the last bit to sound bratty but it was how he felt at times. “i don’t want to talk about that specifically anymore though, it upsets me.” he decided with a frown, downing the rest of the contents in his bottle before tossing it out in the nearest bin. “the point is, i’m not opposed to romance, it’s just foreign to me,” taehyung spoke up again. “i need a book for dummies or something like that.”

"you're honestly really impressive when you drink from the bottle, especially in front of jin, he gets so loud and triggered about it, but you don't drink often, so when you do, there's no choice but to let you!" jimin laughed. "does that make me king lothario? good god, the amount of hearts in my hands, i think it just might make me, i mean, i'm everyone's boyfriend right now and i have no quarrels with it," jimin puckered his lips, pushing his finger against his lips as he tried to keep himself from smiling, "i'm just...smooth, i'm just 'daddy' these days." nodding, jimin agreed, "that's the thing, we want you feeling good, we'll fuck you up later, but for now, i want you feeling smooth, baby, i need you relaxed, but we definitely need to get you more drinks," jimin placed his hand on his shoulder. jimin couldn't lie, he'd hooked up with an international ARMY or two, but those were very very rare because, like taehyung said, as BTS grew, it was hard to scope out just what people actually wanted from him and most of the time, it was....clout. "fuck, the way you said that, 'i'm a lustful person' i've never heard you say that out loud, so i'm impressed, this is definitely progress if i've ever heard any," jimin smirked, "we'll come back to that, please go on.." jimin bit his lip, agreeing completely with taehyung, sometimes people wanted a relationship with them when all they want at the moment was sex and taehyung totally made a point. jimin was definitely guilty of breaking more hearts than he cared to admit.

something about taehyung was that when he was uncomfortable or when he wasn't being heard and when things in his head was collapsing and he couldn't take a grasp on them all at once, he got intensely quiet. it was to the point where if people who don't know tae, would think he was upset about something or labeled him as stuck-up, when, in fact, he was truthfully just thinking. his best friend was such a thoughtful person, and jimin took it at his job to pull him out of that every once in a while. jimin honestly never really got an answer to that when he asked during their deepest talks, but that was something taehyung was careful to keep under lock and key and as a friend, jimin would never try to pry it out of him, but part of him hoped as he was getting drunk, maybe he'd get a sliver of it back or maybe he'd tell someone important to him enough about it––not that he wasn't important, because jimin knew he was, but he knew there were some things that would be bought out by the right person and maybe then he'd be able to tell him. "you have your reasons," jimin finally finished off the rest of his peach soju and pulled out the next two bottles before they ventured for the rest. "how to fuck and catch feelings...for dummies," jimin laughed.

“i do it just to spite him,” he confessed with a grin, “annoying hyung is one of my favorite hobbies.” taehyung knew deep down that seokjin didn’t mind all too much so the occasional glares from the eldest male of the group wasn’t a huge deal. the only person taehyung didn’t do those kinds of things to was hoseok, he knew how annoyed the other male got when it came to sharing anything that someone had their mouth on. “of course you’re the world’s boyfriend, look how cute you are,” he snickered, reaching up to give his best friend's cheek a gentle pinch followed by a playful coo. the younger grimaced slightly at his friend’s words, “daddy? really? is that your thing?” a laugh came from his mouth after he’d spoken, unable to ask something like that with a complete poker face. reaching up, he gave Jimin’s hand that was placed on his shoulder a small squeeze as a silent form of comfort. “i feel kind of relaxed, trust me. i wouldn’t be running my mouth so much otherwise,” he reassured jimin with a smile. he wasn’t totally there yet but he could feel the nerves easing up as time passed on. “i’m just being honest. i am a lustful person when it comes down to it and i’m not very picky,” he provided further. if he happened to find someone attractive, he normally just went for it regardless of gender if the urge was strong enough. now that taehyung thought of it, barely any of his hook ups in the past had happened when he was sober which said a lot. taehyung was also aware of how he could come off to people, sometimes as stuck up or bothered when he was quiet when really, he was just usually deep in his thoughts or drowning in them.

whenever taehyung was upset, he hated talking about it and expressing it because there were almost always tears that followed, it was the same way when he was angry. there was a moment taehyung went to speak but decided against it, he wasn’t ready to say exactly what he wanted to just yet and settled for clearing his throat instead. there was nothing more he wanted right now than to be touring, it was his greatest distraction from any kind of problems that he was having. “i don’t think i need too much help on the first subject but the last one? definitely.” was his response. when jimin decided to go and take a sip of his freshly opened soju, taehyung made sure to reach out and tilt the bottle back a bit; much like the other male had done to him earlier in the night. “fucker. that’s payback,” he sputtered out in between laughs. “i do have to ask you though, what would your reaction be if i were to tell you i’m kinda into someone? we’re being hypothetical here.”

"he deserves it, he gets so whiny when it does it. i wanna say it's worth it, but i don't know if i'd go that far," jimin knew how easy it was to get under jin's skin, they all did and it didn't at all stop them from doing it. blushing at taehyung agreeing with him, he exaggerated, "awwww," he laughed out loud when tae pinched his cheek. "are you kidding me? of course i'm into it, there's nothing sexier than that title being put on me, i was made for it, it's part of my duality. truthfully, in their position being picky wasn't much of an option, it wasn't often they got their needs met without being told to move past it.

but if the urge was too strong, then it was about taking what you could get, at least that's how jimin saw it. there weren't many limitations in hook ups. "definitely," jimin repeated after him, nodding, "well, my friend, you knocked on the right door, i'm going to help you through all of it, we're gonna do homework, it's all ready," jimin teased, "nonstop kdrama marathons, you've got the look, we're gonna give you the heart, it'll be fine," jimin waved dismissively. stopping in his tracks when he felt the bottle tilting up, jimin wasn't left with much choice. he couldn't laugh, the way he wanted to, but he also couldn't pull away and waste the drink and risk it falling on him, even though a couple of drops did leak onto his face and he'd finished a generous amount of the bottle before taehyung finally let him go. doubling over and laughing, jimin's head was fuzzy for sure, he was consuming a lot of alcohol in a small period of time, this wasn't his usual couple of bottles during dinner, this was them drinking with a goal. pulling himself together and looking up, jimin charged after taehyung, wrapping his arm around him and playfully laying punches on his stomach, making sure not to be too rough, but biting him in his side for good measure. "fucking punk," jimin laughed, pulling himself away from taehyung before he retaliated. wiping the couple of drops of soju off of his face, jimin listened as he looked down at his hand, waiting it dry on his clothes. "if you were kinda into someone? hypothetically..." jimin thought, pausing as he cocked an eyebrow, "i would be excited for you, but i'd be really curious, of course," jimin's tone easily suspicious, "what do you like about them to make you think you're into them? hypothetically," jimin placed a hand on his waist, "what does it take to finally win over kim taehyung?!"

“he tells me no so i do the complete opposite, hyung can’t get mad for long either because i learned from him,” taehyung said with a cheeky smile. he loved seokjin and often showed it in his own ways, much like he did with each of the others members. “you know what’s really weird? we’ve been friends for so many years but these topics rarely ever come up in our conversations so hearing about that is only a little surprising because the more I think about it, i can see you being the type,” he said, tilting his head slightly as they walked. “i’m not sure i should think about that anyways. hey, did i ever tell you about that couple back in new york about a year ago?” taehyung suddenly brought up, it was probably one of the fun filled nights he could remember while being intoxicated but it was also one of the worst mornings after he’d ever witnessed; vowing to keep it to himself for the most part back then but since they were talking about these things, why not. taehyung hummed slightly at the mention of kdramas, “they have to be good kdramas though. i aspire to be a kangjoon level of kdrama boyfriend,” he joked. “i just need to work on the part where i don’t run away from things,” he pointed out.

the chuckles didn’t stop leaving his mouth as he watched the soju drip down jimin’s face but it stopped when the smaller male had come charging at him. “yah!” taehyung yelled light-heartedly, giving in and wrestling around with his best friend for a minute before jumping back upon feeling teeth on his side, “did you just bite me?” taehyung asked rhetorically, humor laced in his voice as his eyes looked down at the mouth mark that was left on the fabric of the sweater he was wearing. “hypothetically, yeah,” the younger nodded in response. “they make me feel like me and i could spend hours and hours in their presence.” it was pretty obvious that taehyung had someone in mind as he spoke but he hadn’t mentioned anything to any of the guys about it, jimin would probably be the first now that he thought about it. “a beautiful personality is the answer, i think.” he responded after a moment of thinking. “and if you go off about your beautiful personality, i swear i’ll punch you in the dick.” taehyung’s words were purely playful as they finally inched towards their destination. “how fucking far did we just walk?” he then asked, truly unaware of the time they’d lost by walking so slow.

"he's out of his mind and he goes so over the top, that's why it's so fun to stress him out!" jimin stumbled a little, lowering his eyes to get his footing back together, sightly unimpressed that he was already tipsy, but considering just how fast he was drinking, he was possibly holding it much better than he thought. "i think sometimes those thoughts come to me and i kinda keep them to myself because there's no context which i can bring it up casually," jimin smiled, "unless we're together fucking around, obviously. but yeah, daddy is who i am, i accept it," jimin smirked. "the couple back in new york? i don't think so? if you did, i don't remember.." they shared so much, but he was intrigued to hear about it. "kangjoon and jung hae in are the young romance kings and i aspire to inspire you to be––" jimin cut himself off with his laughter, "i inspire you to be romantic, you need to do romance shows, you don't need to be in anymore period pieces, just romance," he laughed. "yes, i bit you! you sexy doughnut!" jimin laughed, shoving taehyung and running ahead even though he knew there wasn't much taehyung would do. despite the haze clouding his eyes, he was glad for his friend..hypothetically. turning around to walk backwards, facing taehyung as he spoke, jimin placed a hand behind his head as he tuned in to his best friend. "a beautiful personality, huh?" jimin smirked, running his hand down his neck and chest, "let me tell you about beautiful pers––" he paused, stoping in his tracks when taehyung caught exactly what he'd say next, he averted his eyes, "ahhh, but you admit it, i do have a beautiful personality," he winked, "i appreciate it, you always know how to make me feel special," he smirked, knowing it wasn't taehyung's aim. "so she's hypothetical, huh?" jimin glanced suspiciously, "we walked to the..." jimin trailed off, looking around him, his vision lagging with the lights, "where are we?"

“you get it, jimin-ah,” taehyung cheered, reaching out to ruffle his best friend's hair gently. the young male’s hand moved to grip the fabric of jimin’s shirt to silently guide him, knowing that his friend was easier to get drunk but it definitely had to do with how fast the other had finished his bottles of soju. jimin was smaller so it was only natural for the alcohol to hit him quicker. “i don’t think something like that is ever just brought up casually, but you’d think being best friends we’d know some of those things about one another,” taehyung explained with a laugh although he rarely ever felt the need to prey into that part of jimin’s life. “right. the couple in new york…” he trailed off in amusement, “i met a husband and wife at a fancy nightclub when i went out with one of my american friend. i saw the wife first because she was looking at me for a majority of the night. seemed like she was into me, and of course i was right. i thought i was going to die when i found out she was married. turns out, her husband was more into me than she was. she got so mad that she tried to fight us the next morning, saying we left her but she’s the one who ditched the two of us. that was the first and last time i’d never do some dumb shit like that ever again. too messy.” taehyung laughed, knowing how awful that made him sound but he couldn’t change something that happened in the past. “add seojoon to the list too, i’m friends with him but i am never telling him that.” he admitted.

“don’t run off on me,” taehyung whined once jimin had slipped from his grip and took off ahead of him. taehyung would have jogged to catch up but the thought of that had his stomach making a noise of displeasure. “you do, actually,” he said in regards to the comments about jimin having a beautiful personality once they were walking in sync again, “everyone is quick to fall in love with you.” he pointed out. “she? who said anything about a she? what if it’s a guy?” taehyung retorted childishly. “hold on,” he murmured as jimin asked where they were before pulling out his phone and pulling the map up. neither of them could make out what the street signs said in the dark so this was a much easier way. “we walked for an hour, it doesn’t even feel like it. I see there’s a liquor store beside some motel about five more minutes down the road. i don’t know about you but i don’t want a headache tomorrow morning from getting scolded so i’d prefer if we slept everything off there. do you want to skip drinking some more? either way is fine, it’s just... your cheeks are pink from the soju.” he teased.

"hell yeah i get it!" jimin waved his hand dismissively, making a tiny fuss about taehyung messing up his hair before flipping it back into tousled perfection. letting taehyung navigate him, he didn't at all mind the pull as he tried to adjust his vision to see just where they were. "oh trust me, i talk about this with joon hyung sometimes, he's....a freak, like god help the woman that gets in his bed, she's gonna have hard amnesia when he's done with her from knocking her into his headboard," jimin commented, easily letting it slip. upon hearing the couple from new york, jimin stopped in his tracks a couple of times before walking to catch up with taehyung, not wanting to miss a single detail of the story. some part of him couldn't see taehyung getting in between a married couple for a threesome, but he knew his best friend had the charm and the finesse to do it, so he didn't doubt him one bit, but taehyung never lied, not that he needed a reason to. "wooowww, that is easily one of the hottest stories i've heard at the house, no one can touch that, that is gold and the fact the husband was so into you, you have the power, kim taehyung, that's a fact," jimin said gassing taehyung up, genuinely impressed with him. "sometimes good sex is messy," jimin smirked. "your secret is safe with me.

jimin turned and smiled when taehyung agreed to with jimin turned to taehyung and posed, "believe me, i know," he said, a hand in his hair, the other hand slowly running down his body, indulging in the way taehyung inflated his ego, "fuck yeah they are and i'm so willing to give every single one of them some of this love," he moved a hand over the crotch of his pants while walking in step with taehyung again. "if it's a guy, then it's a guy, nothing wrong with it, babe. but just make sure his dick is as big as his heart, people say physical doesn't matter––they're full of shit, kim taehyung needs sexual attraction too..." jimin trailed off, "i think we should get a few more bottles and then yes, sleep it off here because i don't care about the scolding, honestly," jimin crossed his arms, "are they really?" jimin laughed, reaching up for his cheeks and feeling them, as though he could stop the color from rising, "it's because of the cold, i'm not even that drunk," jimin teased.

“really? he talks to you about things like that?” taehyung asked in amusement, a little bit of surprise written on his face too. he hadn’t expected their leader to be so open about things like that. “yeah, actually, bless whoever decides to sleep with namjoon-hyung.” taehyung agreed, a laugh leaving his mouth at the fact that they were having this conversation. “that’s why i say language barriers are bullshit. the three of us managed to communicate just fine.” the younger teased as he spoke about the couple from new york. “the entire thing was her idea and then she left by herself, leaving he and i alone in the pool so we enjoyed the night without her. i don’t know why she blamed us to begin with.” he huffed out with a shake of his head, “that was the first time i ever had a glass of water thrown in my face. he got it as well but still, it was too much. i would have probably been into him if he wasn’t married and she wasn’t crazy,” taehyung finished half-jokingly.

“stop doing that,” laughing at jimin’s actions he continued, “i didn’t mean to feed your ego that much.” taehyung said with a teasing smile. “yeah? i thought the saying was ’it’s not about the size, it’s about how you use it’?” he questioned jimin, tilting his head slightly in the process, clicking his tongue after a thought came to mind, “you’re not assuming that i’m a bottom though, are you? ‘cause the way you worded that…” taehyung trailed off curiously, a small shrug following. “it is a female though, you were right. i just wanted to be a pain in the ass,” he went on to admit truthfully. “okay, let’s go.” he chirped, wrapping an arm around the smaller male as they headed in the right direction. “not that drunk you say? well isn’t the goal for tonight to be wasted?” the dark-haired male questioned happily. “i don’t appreciate the scolding. i’d rather take some painkillers tomorrow morning and let them work their magic before getting into shit back home.” taehyung explained as they got to the twenty-four-hour liquor store. “come on.” taehyung ushered as he headed inside the store to look around, “pick your poison, jimin-ah, it’s on me.” the younger mused as his eyes scanned the shelves.

"yeah, when it's late and we've had a couple of drinks and everyone's gone to bed and he's lonely and we're talking about girls and yeah, he'll talk about it, he's very––like, if you share, he'll share too, at least that's how i set it up to feel, i don't want him to be the only one talking," jimin nodded. "oh yeah, bless them because...they're gonna need it," jimin remarked teasingly. "jesus, i can imagine how effectively you two communicated, you're absolutely right, language barriers are total crap, sometimes, you just make it work," jimin ran both hands through his shiny hair, letting his bangs bounce forward into place. "i'll never stop, it feels too good, i feel it running through my entire body when my ego even gets a crumb of a stroke, don't pretend you don't know that," jimin clapped his hands together. "whoever said that must've not had the length or the girth to make it work, because i've got both and i know exactly how to use it, so that can't possibly apply to me, everyone who wants a piece is welcome to come get it," jimin held his arms open for the sake of being dramatic. "what?" jimin stopped in his tracks once again, "how did i imply you were a bottom? i can picture you being a power bottom, but not a bottom bottom, you know? but you're my best friend and i know my best friend is a top. there's no denying your energy," jimin smirked. "the goal is to get 'namjoon disapproved' level fucked up. "yeah, i'm not really looking forward to going back and remembering i got scolded at, i want to ninja into beds and pass out," he expressed walking into the liquor store. "oh it's on you? with that said, a bottle of the strongest sansachun is all i need, i know it's supposed to last us a good amount of time, but being reckless seems more fun,' jimin smirked.

taehyung nodded his head in understanding. “i don’t know when the last time i got to talk to hyung about anything,” he then admitted, “any of the hyungs, actually, yoongi knows when i’m being weird but he leaves it alone until i talk to him but i never do. he just hopes i do, i think.” taehyung finished with a heavy sigh. “verbal language, body language, doesn’t matter to me.” taehyung watched as his friend continued with his antics, a fond smile appearing on his face. jimin never failed to make him feel better regardless of whatever situation they were in. they always complimented each other well, one being outspoken and the life of the party and the other being shy and reserved. “yeah but you’re feeling yourself in public, literally,” he pointed out with a snicker, reaching out to poke at his friend’s sides gently. “a lot of people have used that saying,” he pointed out, “i didn’t say it wasn’t a load of bullshit though. it’s a shame for people out there who underdeliver and lack in that department, don’t you know?” he asked out in amusement. “well, would their size really matter if i’m not the one on the bottom?” the younger retorted with a raise of his eyebrow. “i think it’s subject to change, depending on if a person could get me to change my mind, that is. but for the most part, you won’t catch me on the bottom.” taehyung said with a small shake of his head. “you got it.” he cheered at jimin’s response as they headed into the store. “we buy whatever we need and then go get a room to drink in,” he chuckled lightly as he looked at the bottles in front of him. “i’ve never tried this but the bottle is pretty so….” taehyung trailed off in a mumble before grabbing it and tucking it under his arm to make room for another. “ready to get out of here?” he asked once jimin had finished picking out what he wanted.
