When stars became clearly visible in the sky, the boys decided to head back down. Jimin and Hoseok had been getting along pretty well ever since they got here. So much so that most of the time they forgot about Taehyung and Jungkook being with them. And once again, they skipped ahead quickly leaving the two behind.

"Is it just me or are they purposely leaving us behind all the time?" Jungkook thought out loud and Taehyung laughed at him.

"It feels like it's their last day to live." Taehyung laughed at his own comment when Jungkook only smiled but Taehyung's laugh made him laugh along, unintentionally.

When they reached down and close to the bar, they received a call.

"Taehyung!" Both heads whipped around at the voice and they saw Sungjae waving at them. Jungkook's chest tied up in a tight knot at his sight but he ignored it.

Taehyung looked back at Jungkook in confusion.
"Who is he?"

"The bartender." Jungkook's answer came much more colder than he intended it to be.

Taehyung felt awkward standing there while the guy waved at them so he smiled his box smile as he made his way over to the bar with Jungkook dragging himself behind him.

"Um, hi?" Taehyung tried to sound as less awkward as he could.
"How, um, how do you know my name?" He felt like a douche asking the sweet guy such an accusing question but he had to know.

"Oh, your friend here told me." He said as he gestured towards Jungkook who only smiled shyly at them in return.

"I never got your name, though." Sungjae smiled at Jungkook but the younger didn't feel like talking to him. His annoyance was increasing with each second that passed with Sungjae.

"Jungkook."

"Would you like to try a drink? We have the best of everything. You'll love-"

"We don't drink." Jungkook cut off Sungjae in his excited explanation. His attitude had suddenly turned so cold that both Taehyung and Sungjae felt it. The bartender thought that he was always like this so he was, kind of, fine with it since he was used to having various types of customers. But Taehyung wasn't. He hadn't seen Jungkook so angry and defensive before even when he first met him. This side of Jungkook scared him a little but he couldn't understand why sudden change occurred. He tried to look back at what might have happened but couldn't find anything which confused him even more. So he concluded that Jungkook was just uncomfortable with a new company. That was the only answer that made some sense.

Someone called Sungjae over to the other end of the bar and he excused himself from the boys. When he left, Jungkook let out a cold sigh and relaxed in his seat.

"You okay?" Taehyung placed his hand on Jungkook's shoulder making the younger tense up slightly but he controlled himself.

"Yeah. Just tired." Such an effortless lie that Taehyung only stared at him. What happened to him all of a sudden?

Jungkook saw a glass of water placed a little away from him and felt thirsty. He quickly grabbed it and took a big gulp only to stick his tongue out like in a pant. Taehyung blinked at him in confusion.

"What-"

"Even the water here tastes different." Finally Jungkook sounded like his normal self and Taehyung snickered at him.

"Really?"

"Yeah. See for yourself." Jungkook passed the glass to Taehyung who took a small sip and put the glass back down as he copied Jungkook's action from a moment ago.

"It burns." Taehyung almost whispered as he held his throat.

"I know. But I still want more. Don't you?" Jungkook sounded genuinely curious and Taehyung would be lying if he denied because he really wanted to taste it again, too. Weird however it maybe, it was attractive. They shared the glass as they took sip after sip of the 'water' since it was hard to take big gulps. By the time they finished it they were giggling slightly.

"Hey, I can see two Taes." Jungkook slurred slightly as he pointed towards Taehyung and then at thin air next to him.

"You can? Wow! Oh wait. I see two Kookies, too!" And they both started giggling again.

"Would you like a refill?" A different bartender came up to them and asked. Unaware of what it meant they both gave an eager nod and the guy filled their glass again. When he went for another glass, Jungkook stopped him.

"We will share." The bartender gave a nod and left them alone. They sipped their second glass slowly and soon felt like everything around them was floating. The slight dizziness from before had turned up, greatly.

"I'm flyyyyyyyinnggg." Jungkook spread his arms open and swung from side to side. Taehyung giggled and then copied him. Once done with their flight Jungkook turned towards Taehyung and leaned closer.

"Hey, can you keep a se'ret?" He whispered and Taehyung nodded.

"Tae is really cute." Jungkook smiled to himself as he squealed.
"But don't tell him!" He immediately followed up.

Taehyung only put his finger on his own lips and shushed which satisfied Jungkook.

"Who's Tae?" After getting an approving nod from Jungkook, Taehyung asked, his face still only inches away from Jungkook.

"Mehehe." Jungkook's eyes were drooping as he said and another smile made its way to his lips.

"Oohh. Iii geeettt iiittt." Taehyung sang and Jungkook giggled.

"Can I tell a se'ret, too?" Taehyung asked after a moment of silence and Jungkook nod his head as his eyes closed completely, now.

"I reeeeeeeeaaallllllyyyy like Kookie." Taehyung smiled brightly as he said.

Jungkook oh-ed at him before asking.
"Chocolate cookie?"

Taehyung thought about the question for a second and then shook his head.
"No. He in only Kookie." The words became more slurred as the time passed.

"Hmm." Jungkook kept nodding his head as he hummed.

"But I can't tell him." Taehyung's face turned into a pout and Jungkook patted his face slightly.

"Ooh! Why not?" Jungkook felt like Taehyung was going to cry so he cooed at him in his baby voice.

"I don't know." Jungkook hummed again and thought about something. He was about to speak but he felt like his brain was shutting down. It took only a second or two after that and his head dropped on the bar as he became unconscious. Taehyung looked at him as if Jungkook was showing him a magic trick before he, too, faced the same fate.

Both of them were sleeping there when Jimin and Hoseok arrived looking for the two of them. When their eyes landed on the two sleeping forms, they rushed over. By the time they arrived and tried to wake them up, Sungjae had returned as well.

"What happened to them? They won't wake up." Jimin's voice was laced with worry.

"I don't know. They were just sitting there when I left them." Sungjae came closer to take a look at them.

"They passed out after drinking two shots." Another voice spoke up and they turned to see another bartender making his way towards them.

"Two shots?"

"Drinking?"

Jimin and Hoseok asked at the same time, their voices louder than before. The guy looked at them in confusion as Hoseok and Jimin stared at each other and then at the unconscious ones.

"Why did you let them drink? This one is underage and he has never had a drink before." Hoseok lashed out as he pointed towards Jungkook first and Taehyung, later. The bartender only bowed in apology as he said.

"I'm sorry, sir. But they had already had one down when I came to ask for a refill." He explained himself as he showed their glass that still had some of the drink left in it.

"They did what?" Jimin's screeched before taking the glass from the guy's hand and a sudden realization hit him.

"You have got to be kidding me." Jimin face palmed as he saw the drink before placing the glass back down and lifting Jungkook up while Hoseok assembled Taehyung on his back. They left the bar and made their way back to their rooms. Once inside, they placed them in the double bed together and stepped back. Even though, it was Jimin and Jungkook that shared one room, while Hoseok and Taehyung took the other, the situation called for a change of arrangements. So now, Taehyung and Jungkook would be sharing a room for the night.

"So, what do you think happened?" Hoseok asked as he put Taehyung down and stepped back.

"If I'm right, then they drank from that glass thinking it was water. And since neither knows what drinks taste or feel like they kept on drinking. And it led to this." He gestured towards the sleeping boys in front of them.
"But that's just a guess. They could have purposely asked for one. I can't say." Jimin sighed as he moved out of the room.

"If it was only Tae, I would say that that's exactly what happened but with Jungkook with him, I can't really expect them to be that stupid. I mean, Kookie is smart enough to cover up for Tae's lack of brain, alone. So I don't think that could have happened." Hoseok reasoned as they walked out.

"Hmm, I guess. Hobi, you wait here with them. I'll be back." Jimin told Hoseok and walked towards Jin and Namjoon's room.

Once there, he knocked and waited for them to open up.

"What is it?" Namjoon appeared soon and looked like he was woken up by the knock.

"Um, sorry to bother you but do you have whatever you take for hangovers?" Jimin asked politely knowing well that a lecture awaited him on the mention of hangover.

"Hangover? Park Jimin, don't even think about drinking while you're with me. Your parents handed you over to us because they trust us. We can't stab them in the back by letting you drink while you're away from them." Namjoon spoke nonstop while Jimin just looked around waiting for him to finish.

"Hey, are you even listening?" And Jimin finally looked at him.

"Um yeah yeah. But I wasn't asking for myself. Tae and Kookie got drunk and I have heard about the hangovers. So-" Namjoon's face turned pale at that as he stared at the boy in front of him in disbelief.

"Kookie as in.. Jungkook? Jungkook got drunk? He willingly got drunk?" Namjoon tried to accept the reality but he was unable to. He had known Jungkook for long enough to know that there's no way this could be true. But Jimin was just standing there telling him it actually happened.

"Yeah, but he didn't do it on purpose. I think." He mumbled the last part.
"Anyways, do have something for them?" Jimin was getting impatient now. He had wasted his energy in roaming around and what was left of it was used up in carrying Jungkook to his room. He was tired af and really wanted some sleep.

Namjoon nodded his head dumbly before going inside and when he came back he had a few pills in his hand.

"Give these to them with water when they wake up. And also tell them to see me. I need to talk to them." Namjoon closed the door after that and Jimin walked back to the other room.

When he opened the door, Hoseok was taking off Taehyung's shirt. Jimin paused in his tracks as he blinked at the sight.

"What are you doing?" Hoseok looked up and then at Taehyung before registering what Jimin was thinking.

"Get your mind out of gutter. He was feeling hot, so I'm helping him." Hoseok then went over to Jungkook and started taking his shirt off as well when Jimin suddenly rushed over and held his hand.

"No, not him. He doesn't like it that way." Hoseok only shrugged and left him alone but moments later they saw Jungkook struggling with his shirt and Hoseok smirked at Jimin.

"You were saying?" Jimin only made a pout at him.

"That's what he always said. Stop looking at me like that." Hoseok only laughed as he pulled off the shirt over Jungkook's head and laid him back down.

Meanwhile, Jimin placed the pills and two glasses of water on the table. He, then, wrote a note for them and placed it along with the pills before him and Hoseok left.
