A/N: crap sorry for the late update lmao

The road is midnight under the clouds, yet beyond is the dawn.

They all walked in line like a class of students, ready to return to the place they recently longed to escape from; Area 51. After one last get together, they would have to decide where everyone went from there.

You drag your exhausted legs on, on the verge of collapsing at any moment. ''Taehyung, my legs hurt''

''the fuck you want me to do''

''What was that, cheddar head? WANT A PIGGYBACK SO I CAN MEGA BOOST-''

Mark is suddenly catapulted away by Taehyung who casually kicks him away. ''you need a fucking hand there?'' he says deeply, plopping you onto his shoulder. ''Should've asked, you little shit''

One by one, they jumped into the hole which sucked them back into the depths of the underground.

You squint, the brightly powered lights contrasting to the midnight darkness you all had came from. The unconscious bodies of your parents, Kai and Uri were carried to safety and placed in seperate rooms until they awoke. Everyone else got refreshed.

Despite going through so much shit in one day, no one seemed tired. While the moon hung proudly on the black canvas above, young teenagers were raving down below.

In a matter of moments, the pristine, white rooms had contorted into colourful disco rooms, where hyperactive teenagers gyrated along to loud beats.

Over the roar of music, a distant, hazy chatter could be heard. You couldn't make out any words, but laughter rang in your ears and didn't seem to stop. Neon lights flashed everywhere like police sirens, blurring your vision.

''BULTAOREUNE'' Mark screams on the stage, flames pouring out his mouth as he jumps and does a few backflips. An annoyed Yoongi pops up from behind, kicking him off the spotlight. ''That's my line, you unoriginal brat''

''YOU WANNA GO?!'' he screams, jumping back onto the stage and charging at Yoongi at full speed. A 'fight, fight' chant resonates around the room as Jungkook and Hoseok jump in to save their bro.

''This is madness'' Jimin shakes his head, ''AND I'M JOINING IN''

Among the cheers, you watch the scene in excitement, a recording phone in your hand until someone stands in front of you.

You look away from your phone in annoyance, coming face with Taehyung who towers over you. ''You're blocking my view!''

''Shut up, I am the view''

''I agree, but I need to see this fight so budge up for one sec''

''What's so fun about watching Matthew scream his ass off?'' he huffs, moving to the side and standing next to you.

''It's just banter chillll-''

You're cut off when you're shoved aside by some fat kid messing around with his friends. You topple back and hit your face flat on Taehyung's stomach. ''Sorry, I bumped into her accidently-''

He encloses his arms around you, knuckles cracking as his hands form into fists. ''Want me to fucking punch you accidently too?'' he glares, and the kid gulps before squeaking away in response.

''aw, how overprotective'' you poke his belly playfully, but your attention is averted to the stage once again when you hear Hoseok screaming. After Mark had charged at Yoongi, Hoseok had jumped in to save his bro, only to have his hair fried by a feral Mark. Someone was spraying water onto his roasted hair, while he simply cries in response.

Mark jumps off the stage as he realises Jimin, Jungkook and Yoongi were after him to exact their revenge on assaulting their hyung. He speeds across the room, panic and excitement morphed into his features. ''CHEDDAR HEAD SAVE ME~'' he screams.

You glance around, noticing Taehyung had joined in on the hunt to cease Mark with the rest. ''fuck this I'm out'' you dip, zooming past the people littered around the room who crowded around to watch.

After a five minute sprint, you join Jin who suspiciously stood at the food stall, quietly chuckling to himself. ''Yo...'' you pant, leaning against the wall as you try to regain your breath.

He looks up, face stuffed and hands a tad bit messy. The chocolates he was grasping had melted on his fingers, the rich substance trailing down his wrist. ''Urm....'' you grimace, pointing.

''I'm so hot...even the chocolates are melting on my fingers'' he grins proudly, ''Marvel at my beauty! Fuck, I'm even making myself blush...''

You burst into a fit of laughter before leaving the crackhead be. As you're walking back to check up on the fight, a wild looking Taehyung comes out the room, hair and clothes more ruffled than usual. Kinda hot.

He spots you, dangerously nearing towards you. And before you knew it, he had you backed against the wall. There was no one around, what was he planning to do?

''Where did you run off to?'' Hands in pockets, he kicks the wall beside you, trapping you with his leg. ''Give me attention, you fuckface''

You blink, before a smirk creeps onto your lips. ''Oh, so you-''

''Shut up. You're always joking around with Matthew, are you trying to make me jealous? Well I'm not fucking jealous, YOU THINK I ACTUALLY GIVE A FUCK IF YOU TWO GET CLOSE- you know what, shag him for all I care I actually don't give a fuck AND EVEN IF I DO IT DOESN'T MATTER cuz you're such an inconsiderate little shit when was the last time you even hit on me- WAIT NOT THAT I WANT YOU TO FLIRT WITH ME OR ANYTHING fuck off you're making up some bullshit and I don't wanna hear it seriously stfu right now before I make you suck my- WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU MAKING ME SAY-''

He covers his tinted red cheeks in embarrassment, while you bite your cheeks to hold back a grin. ''You're so cute''

''S-shut up''

You bite your lip in thought, eyes squinting as you mentally formulate a pick up line. ''Are you a painting?'' you smirk, switching sides so he's slammed onto the wall instead. ''Cuz I wanna pin you to the wall''

Your hand is placed on the wall beside his head, while his expression remains blank. His lips slightly tilt into a smirk before he lowers down to meet your eyes.

''Are you a painting?'' he repeats after you, slender fingers reaching forward to grip your neck. ''Cuz I wanna hang you''

Before you can say anything else, his long fingers slip behind your nape, his lips crashing into yours. He doesn't give you a chance to look at his expression, but you can feel his warm cheeks against yours as his tongue languidly explores yours.

When he pulls away, he shoves your head into his chest and holds it there until he stops looking so embarrassed.

''Taehyung?'' you call, voice muffled against his clothes. You inhale the familiar scent of cologne in satisfaction. ''I'll let you be my boyfriend''

''You little shit. You're not letting me, I'm letting you''

You look up at him, wide eyes glittering. ''Are you serious?''

''no''

''You are, crap. What are we waiting for? Let's fuck-''

He covers your mouth, jaw tilting as he glances to the side. ''Um, the rest are calling you guys. We're playing a game'' Mina nervously speaks, eyes avoiding Taehyung's fiery gaze.

''They were all fighting a while ago, now they wanna play a game?'' you respond, shrugging and tagging along anyway.

When you enter the room, you see Lisa nagging at a slightly bruised Mark, the six besides Taehyung all sitting in a circle. You, Taehyung and Mina join the cirlce, and the rest of the random kids did their own thing elsewhere.

''What the hell is going on here? You playing pass the parcel or some shit?'' Taehyung mumbles, reluctantly taking a seat next to Mark seeing it was the only space available. You sit on the other side of him.

''Just a little get together before the night ends'' Namjoon answers, a dimple poking out his cheek. ''Besides, you can't end on fighting terms''

Jungkook, Jimin and Yoongi smirk at the beaten up Mark, who childishly sticks his tongue out in response.

''Shut the fuck up, Matthew''

''WHAT THE HELL TAETHONG, I WASN'T EVEN TALKING''

''But you were thinking, that's annoying''

''Why does everyone gang up on me'' he whines, wiping a fake tear.

''You always wanna fight, a fight is what you got'' Lisa smacks him.

From the corner of your eye, you see Jin eyeing you and Taehyung mischievously. ''Hey, Y/N. Are you squashed? I think you'd feel more comfortable on Taehyung's lap''

Taehyung's eyebrow twitches in annoyance at the olders ludicrous remark. ''And I think you'd be more comfortable in a trash can'' he snaps back through smiling, gritted teeth.

''Guys, say kid backwards'' Jungkook randomly pops, doe eyes sparkling as if he'd just made some ground breaking discovery.

''dick-'' a few voices murmur before pausing halfway and shaking their heads. ''-how childish''

Jin claps his hands, gesturing for everyone's attention. ''Get into teams of two. We're playing a pick up line battle''

A few groans of disapproval circulate the room as they all exchange furtive glances. You glance at Lisa, who raises an eyebrow at you in response.

''Um, can I borrow Y/N for a moment?'' she asks Taehyung, a little hesitant seeing how close he stuck to you.

''Sorry, I don't like sharing''

You gulp, stomach feeling a little giddy. You glance back at Lisa's saddened expression seeing she had to team up with one of the guys. ''Chicks before dicks'' you shrug, getting up to sit next to Lisa.

''Wait that's illegal'' he retorts, features contorting into an expression of hurt and annoyance. ''I thought I was your favorite''

''How's getting rejected feel, bro?'' Jungkook smirks, getting a smack in response.

''Shut up, all of you, I start!'' Jin interrupts, eager to assert his smoothness. He turns to the closest person next to him, who just happened to be Namjoon. ''Your eyes are really beautiful...'' he starts, staring deeply into them.

''Because I can see myself reflecting off them'' he bursts into a fit of raucous laughter, oblivious of Namjoon's poker expression.

A sleepy yawn escapes Yoongi's lips. ''fuck this, I'm out''

The rest murmur in agreement, apart from Jin who seems rather offended.

The night was deep, so everyone decided to dip for the night. You walk beside Taehyung, who seems quite sulky. ''aw, are you-''

''shut up before I kidnap you''

You tilt your head in a gesture of confusion. His hooded eyes study your face for a second before his lashes slowly flutter closed. ''fuck it. I'm kidnapping you''

''What do you mean kidnap? I'm right here''

His arms slip around your waist as you feel yourself lifting off the ground. ''I'm gonna lock you up in my room. Cuz you're a fucking idiot''

A/N: vote now or I'll choke you

[Scenario]

Y/N: you're smiling, did something good happen?

Taehyung: I can smile if I fucking want to

Lisa: Mark fell and tripped down the stairs
