"OOOOOIIII, WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!!" Minho shouts into my ear. Does this dumb bitch, not see, I'm right next to him.
"DON'T SHOUT YOU IDIOT!!" He turns his head toward me, and leans forward.
"WHY NOT!!" I back off pushing his face away, and in the process push my fingers inside his mouth.
"GET AWAY YOU REAK OF ALCOHOL!!" He falls back on the couch, a little alcohol falling out of the bottle and on his shirt.
"Ahh, you guys. You should stop." Squirrely has been trying to get us off the bottles for 30 minutes already. Why is he even here, I can't look at him right now.
"YAAA, YOU!! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!!" I shout at him as I look at his big eyes.
"YOU WANNA KISS?? CAME HERE!!" I get up and hold his face into my palms as strong as possible. His eyes widen as he looks down at my lips. He tries to get out of my grip, but the anger and annoyance that are charging me right now are way to strong. HE WANTED TO KISS HERE IT IS!! His cheeks cover in slight red shade as he grabs my hands and pulls them away. Right after he turns around and covers his face.
"WHAT IS IT?! DIDN'T YOU WANT TO KISS?!" I shout as he looks back at me, with one eye.
"YOU IDIOT!!" Minho kicks me in the shoulder with one of his feet causing me to just roll off the couch like a ball. "THAT'S SEXUAL HARASSMENT, DON'T FORCE HIM!!" I catch his foot in the air, and pull him off the couch as well.
"YOU VIOLENT PRICK!!" He shouts again.
"YOU KICKED ME FIRST!!" I shout back at him, as I take the bottle out of his hand and take one more shot.
"YOU PULLED ME!! GIVE ME THAT BACK!!" He reaches for the bottle but I kick him away, and slowly try to stand up.
"OMG, THE WORLD IS SPINNING!!" I can barley keep any balance. This thing is good though, I haven't felt this good in ages, it might be for the moment and later I'll feel like crap but, LET'S LIVE FOR THE MOMENT!!
"I WANTED TO SAY YOUR BRAIN IS SPINNING BUT YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ONE TO BEGIN WITH AHAHAHAHAHAGHA." He slowly gets on his feet and looks at me with a smirk.
"Min Jieun. GIVE ME THE BOTTLE!!" He says as he runs forward. Since he drank way to much, his directions don't really work well, but he still reaches me, and manages to knock me on the floor.
"YOU STINK LIKE A DEAD BEAR RIGHT NOW!!" He shouts at me even though our faces are 10 centimetres away.
"MINHO I REALLY LOVE YOU MAN. LET'S DIE TOGETHER!!" I blur out all of a sudden making him look at me and smile.
"I know, I love you too, but I don't want to die together because... I'LL MAKE SURE YOU LIVE LONGER!!" This is definitely a rare moment. I don't even remember when is the last time I said the words 'I love you' directly to him.
"Lo- Love??" Squirrely turns to us and kicks Minho off of me. WHY IS HE KICKING MY BEST FRIEND!!
"YAAA, HAN JISUNG, DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM?!" I ask. It's true that we don't use his name a lot, but he is fine with it by now. He can hear it without getting a panic attack, other wise I would never use it.
"HEY MAN, ARE YOU JEALOUS?! I TOLD YOU NOT TO HOLD BACK, STOP KICKING ME IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SLEEP IN THE WOODS TONIGHT!!" Minho shouts at him. He slowly lefts himself up and sits up, with me following behind.
"I.. I'm not it's just.." Minho suddenly turn to me with a smirk on his face, and then back to Squirrely with the same expression on his face.
"Do I need to kiss her for you to do something??" He then turns to me and pushes me on the floor again, hovering over me.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!" I yell at him, as my hands cover his mouth, preventing him from actually kissing me. A second later Squirrely knocks him off to the side, with now Minho on the floor and Squirrely over him. What the fuck is this scene?? Minho just looks at me with a smirk, before taking Squirrely's face into his hands and pulling him down, closer to himself.
"WOW, WOW, WOW. NOT TODAY MATE!!" I put my hand on his lips, and pull Squirrely off of him. I look at Squirrely's cute face, and a smile forms on my lips. I take his cheeks in between my fingers and give him a small giggle.
"You're so cute haha. Those eyes, lips, and nose, even your ears are attractive. Do you know how hard is to keep myself from actually kissing you every time you ask me to kiss you. Do you think it's that easy you punk. I haven't... I haven't felt this happy in the last 4 years, but then.. then you show up with that smile and cute giggle. I really couldn't ignore you you know, because.... because if I did... I would feel like I let one more person down.. I really couldn't turn my back on you, so you don't neither. After this is over don't leave. You can't leave, ok?? Don't go anywhere... please. Don't go." I can see his surprised face. He doesn't even know how to react on what I just said, and I don't know either. I never thought those words would ever came out of my mouth. I mean, I am just being honest but still... I have never said something like this to anyone.
"What the hell.. GET A ROOM!!" Minho kicks me to the ground tearing my eyes off of Squirrely. "At least one of you said something. Thank god I don't have to listen to your problems anymore, JUST TALK TO EACHOTHER!!" He says as he gets up, and makes his way toward the couch. I just shrug my shoulders, and pull Squirrely's hand in order to get up. He helps me get my ass to the couch, and at that moment the door upstairs opens reviling a pissed Seungmin.
"What is with all the noise, I can't even fall back asleep?!" He fixes his hair, and slowly drags his feet down the stairs. As he approaches us, he notices the bottles on the table and the mess we created.
"What are you guys doing?? You already emptied one bottle and a half, ahh... You're unbelievable. Did you even eat something??" He asks as he picks up one of the bottles and reads the title. "Whiskey??" He signals Squirrely to come with him as he leaves the room, entering the kitchen. Me and Minho just look at each other, and a moment later start to laugh knowing we are in big trouble. I hit his shoulder while trying to breathe in between my laughter.
"WHY DID YOU HIT MEEE!!" He yells at me, changing his facial expression into a serious one. I just look at him for a moment, letting silence take over the room. We stare at each other for a few seconds, before we start laughing again, and this time he smacks my tight, causing me to throw myself back on the couch in pain.
"Ouchhh... THAT HURTS!!" I yell at him, and in that moment Seungmin and Squirrely come back with a few plates in their hands.
"Eat this. You shouldn't have drank on an empty stomach." He scolds us like we are two little kids. On the table they place plates full of snacks. Me and Minho just start eating without saying anything, it feels like we are being scolded by our mom, and the way Seungmin is standing in front of us, with his hands resting on his waist represents that scene perfectly.
"Ya Seungmin-ah don't be mad. We just tried how they taste." Minho tries to make an excuse that doesn't help one bit. Having one shot would be to taste it, not drinking a bottle and a half.
"Yaa.. You- you call this 'trying how they taste' you are dead ass drunk. Both of you. I just took a nap and you... I can't believe this." I think he has enough of evidence to believe this. Is he blind. He then turns to Squirrely and holds a finger up.
"You. Why didn't you stop them?? Or at least called me when they started this??"
"YAAAA, DON'T YOU DARE YELL ON HIM!!" I suddenly lose control as I see him scolding my innocent Squirrely. Why is he mad at him, he couldn't do anything. Even if he tried we would throw him out of the window for telling us what to do. Well... we wouldn't.. cos he's Squirrely but yeah, that would be the destinies of a random human being. I try to stand up, but quickly fall back on my butt. I'll do my best with my voice today, since my body is kinda filled with a whiskey from 1974.
"Don't yell." I say again, holding my finger up the same way Seungmin did moments ago. He just looks at me with a look full of disbelief and disappointment.
"Why so stiff Seungmin. Come on, sit here." Minho taps the spot next to himself with a small smile on his face. Wow, am I hallucinating, he's actually genuinely smiling at him. What's the date, I need to put this down in their history book.
"One shot won't kill you." With those words he makes Seungmin shift his gaze from the bottle and back to the boy on the couch. That's it he is considering it. We are getting him drunk again.
"Come hereee" I stretch my hand and pull him by his slave, making him sit on the couch. Before he even tries to protest, I pull out his unused glass and pour in the whiskey. To my surprise I somehow didn't miss the glass, I mean I know I have some tolerance for alcohol, but I think I should be pretty much drunk by now.
"It's one shot. What could go wrong." I say as he eyes the glass. Not wanting to wait since I know it's gonna take him forever, I pick up the glass and pour the substance inside his mouth
--
"BABY LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME TONIGHT!!" I have no idea when this turned into a karaoke night. Maybe when Seungmin started feeling himself in, and finally let go of the good boy he has inside.
On the other hand, Squirrely now has to deal with three drunk ass idiots. He eventually gave up and is now just sitting on the armchair, letting us do whatever out hearts lead us into. I almost feel bad for him.... well, almost.
"SEUNGMIN I LOVE YOUUU!!" Minho shouts as those lyrics come out of Seungmin mouth. All three heads turn to him in surprise.
"You love me??... WELL I DON'T LOVE YOU AHAHAGAAHAH!!" Minho's expression changes as he stands up and hits the youngers shoulder. Seungmin just smiles, as he looks at his hyung.
"I guess I love you too. You're not that bad actually, I really like your company most of the time. Yes." He nods to himself a few times before turning to Minho again. "But can't you be more serious. Sometimes you really make my heart flutter, but you always make it seem like it was a joke. It's true that I can't help but feel moved, but still... stop it hyung."He says as he gulps down one more shot.
"Why would I do that. Just get used to it already. I mean it even though I make it sound like a joke. I MEAN IT!!" He suddenly yells making me jump out of surprise.
"WHY ARE YOU YELLING, HE CAN HEAR YOU WELL YOU DIMWIT!!" I hit his shoulder, realizing the only thing we have been doing in the last one hour is hit and yell on each other.
"Yaa, Seungmin... why are you a doc tho. I thought you wanted to be a singer." I say, and his face drops immediately. He takes the bottle and tries to fill his glass but completely fails. The substance rolls all over the table, and he just pauses looking down at it. After a second, he simply brings the bottle up to his lips and drinks from it.
"I.. I.. I'm an idiot. You see, I wanted to make my parents dream come true. I wanted to be a doctor and make a lot of money. I WANTED THEM TO BE PROU.. but.. but now I.. I DON'T WANT TO BE A DOCTOR.... I really don't want it. I don't want to live someone else's dream so why... WHY AM I HERE??" Me and Minho just look at each other in surprise. "But still.. I enjoy helping people. Every time I see those children's smiles, I feel so happy." He smiles to himself. "I hated it so much that I didn't follow my dream, but this way I'm at least able to help people. I feel useful and I... without going on this path, I would never be here. Sitting with you and he.. he would be suffering with you two idiots." He points toward Squirrely.
"What about you people?? Why are you here?? Didn't you want to be a dancer??" He says, pointing toward Minho with his chin. I shift my gaze to Minho as well, wanting to ignore his question. It has never been my favourite subject to talk about why I chose the path I did.
"I.." Minho's face drops as well. He looks down at the floor with his eyes getting lost in thoughts. "Do I regret my decision??" He asks himself, and then snatches the bottle from Seungmin's hand, bringing it up to his lips titling it down and taking a few gulps before continuing. "I'm not sure. I don't regret helping my family. I'm glad they are happy. I'm glad they solved everything, but.. but.. BUT WHY DID I HAVE TO SACRIFICED MY DREAM FOR IT!! IT'S NOT FAIR!! Nothings fair.." I haven't seen him sad in a while. In a few years probably, since we went to different collages and it was easier to hide our fillings in front of each other.
"I really wanted to try. Even if I failed, I would at least know I tried. But now. I lost the chance." He pulls the bottle up again titling it down and letting the whiskey travel down his throat. Isn't he drinking way to much now. I know we drank a lot already, but at this moment he is drinking 3 shots at once.
"Stop." I tap his shoulder, and pull the bottle away from him "It's ok." I say as I pull him into a small hug.
"Jieun. I'm sorry. I should have been there when she died. I really liked your sister, I shouldn't have left that day. I'm really sorry." I just hug him tighter, feeling the tears filling my eyes.
"Don't be. You did well. I'm really glad you were there." Seungmin gaze softens as he looks at us. He found out eventually, since we still went to school after her death. He was one of the rare people who didn't look at me with pity, or at least he didn't show it. While the silence takes over the room, Squirrely just confusedly shifts his gaze between us, since he doesn't know what we are talking about.
After 20 minutes or so, I notice Minho not moving. I look down at him and notice his peaceful face his breath is slowed down, and he is sleeping like there is no tomorrow. I lay him down on the couch, place a pillow under his head, and a blanket over his body. I feel like a spinning wheel right now. Seungmin is also asleep on the other couch, and my soft heart won't let me not make him comfortable. I try not to fall on my butt, as I take one more pillow and a blanket, and place them under his head and over his body.
Just when I feel like I'm about to fall back from to much alcohol hitting my brain, someone catches me behind. I turn my head and see Squirrely behind me.
"You have a sister??" I tear my gaze away from him, not wanting to show him my weaker side.
"... had." I try to walk to the armchair, but lose my balance almost immediately. He notices and quickly holds me up with both of his hands. As we make it to the armchair, I slowly push him down on it, and crawl on his lap while pulling the last blanket from the ground. I cover us both and close my eyes feeling the warmth coming from his body, slowly hugging me. I wrap my arms around him feeling his body tense up, as I finally squeeze him closer to myself, lying my head on his chest.
"Let's just sleep. I feel awful." I murmur out to him.
"But it's barely 10pm." He whispers.
"That's perfect." I whisper back.
After a few seconds, I feel his body loosen down, and his hands slowly wrapping around me. His chin rests on the top of my head bringing a smile on my face. I feel warm and safe. I wish this feeling would never go away... I wish he never goes away.
