" let me hit "
April 9th | 11:29PM
Seungmin takes another shot straight to the back of his throat, he slams the shotglass down to the counter, shaking his head from the harsh taste.
" Hyung you should really slow down, it's not even 12 yet. " Jiseok whines, as he stares at Seungmin, with his elbow on the bar leaning on his hand. He rolls his eyes as he watches him take another one.
" We're at the bar to drink Jiseok, and that's what i'm doing. " Seungmin sighed, he turned to him, " Here take a beer. " he reached over the bar to grab a beer only to have his hand slapped by the bartender.
The bartender clicked his tongue, with a cup and rag in his hand. " Get your nasty ass hands off. " Seungmin rolled his eyes and sat back down. " I've been coming here for months cant you just give me one free drink Junhan.. "
Junhan continuing to dry the cup, he sighs and stares at Seungmin " First off, I'm literally older than you, and im not giving you, ESPECIALLY you a free drink. " Junhan sneered. Seungmin mocked him with his hand, opening it and closing it, He put his hand down " Can.. I please order a bottle of Terra... Hyung. " He slurred and a weak smirk
Junhan rolled his eyes, he places the dried cup down and reaches under to get a beer for him. He slams it down on the counter, " Thank you, Hyung~! " Seungmin teased and Junhan gave a quick smug smirk before adding it to his tab. " Don't call me Hyung anymore.. its weird. " he walked off to a different customer, putting on a fake smile. " He didnt even take off the top.. " Seungmin muttered with annoyance
He turned to Jiseok and gave him the beer bottle. " Drink it alright? " Jiseok nodded and grabbed it, taking off the top with his hand and takes a sip. " Mm good boy! " Seungmin teased with a smile. Jiseok hit his arm, he winced, instantly grabbing his arm rubbing it with a frown. " Don't call me that you weirdo. "
12:37AM
" Hyung, get up you've had to much to drink.. " Jiseok tries to peel him off the bar, failing miserably. " Jiseok-ah I'm fine... one more drink okay?.. " Seungmin swats him away while slurring his words. " You.. didnt eat did you Hyung. " Seungmin shook his head. whoops
Junhan comes over and flicks Seungmin in the forehead, he winces and grabs his head. " Ay dumbass your scaring people away, get the fuck out of my bar before I force you to. "
Seungmin frowns and sits up slopply, groaning and whining. Jiseok nods at Junhan a silent Thank you for getting this dumbass. He gets off the stool, Jiseok supporting him by putting his arm on his shoulder.
" Jiseok-ah I'm hungryyy... " He whines, his foot steps messy and sloppy. Jiseok sighs " Okay.. well there's a 24/7 convenience store next door.. we can go get you some chips i guess. " He says while dragging him out the bar.
Seungmin giggles a bit " Do you think they have ramyun? I love ramyun~ I love you too, you know. You’re my best " he smiles at Jiseok, who couldn't drink at all knowing that his friend would get to drunk to handle himself.
“ Yeah, Hyung... They’ve got ramyun Just… walk with me, okay? " he sighed, the smell of alcohol on Seungmins breath fills his nostrils.
They continue to walk out the bar, Jiseok struggling with the dead weight on his shoulder, the loud songs in the bar distracting him, he finally reaches the door and someone opens the door for them, he bows and whispered Gamsahamnida.
they walk over to the convenience store, Seungmin just blabbering whatever is on his mind, Jiseok is used to this yes, but it still annoys him just a bit.
12:43AM
Jiseok pushes open the door, the door opens with a ding, instantly making the workers flinch. Jiseok waves at the worker behind the cash register, immediately recognizing him. The other worker in the aisles putting up stock.
“Wow, someone had a night.. What’s happened Jiseok? " The worker chuckled a bit, looking at the man whose basically asleep on his shoulder. Jiseok glared at him, " I dont even wanna talk about it Jungsu-ah.. Could u whip him up some ramyun? Any really. I need this man off my shoulders. " he sighed, Jungsu nodded and headed straight to the aisle. Jiseok sat Seungmin and himself down at a table. " Where are we Jiseok? "
Jiseok sighed again, " We are at the convenience store, remember you wanted ramyun?.. " Seungmin's eyes opened up wider like he never heard it before. " Ooh! Okay "" Jiseok groaned and put his head onto the table, silently dying inside.
Jungsu rings up the bowl of noodles, scanning the barcode. " Jiseok-ay i got you. " Jiseok puts a thumbs up, Jungsu smiles a bit, he pays for it and walks over to the microwave.
After a while Jungsu comes over and puts down a bowl of noodles on the table. " Here you go stranger " Jungsu looks at Seungmin, his eyes widening just a bit. ah, a cute drunk. he thinks to himself
Seungmin looks at him " not gonna lie.. your kinda hot.. " he says while looking him up and down, Jungsu raises his eye brow at the comment, chuckling softly. Jiseok lifts his head instantly " Hyung! Your not supposed to say that.. "
" What's his name Jiseok-ay? " Jungsu sits down next to Jiseok, since no one is really coming into the store. He stares at the weird man eatting his noodles sloppily, broth on the table and on his shirt, and noodles missing his mouth entirely.
" His name is seungmin.. and I have to drive him home or he might get murdered. " Jiseok groans, he puts his head back onto the table. " I couldn't even drink tonight cause of him... " he looks up at Jungsu and frowns.
Jungsu ruffles Jiseok's hair " That sucks.. " Jungsu smugged. Jiseok lifts his head a bit more " do you think you could.... " Jungsu immediately gets up " Nope! " Jiseok whines, hitting his forehead on the table multiple times.
Jungsu glances at Seungmin who's already done with his noodles. " Thank you.. hot man and Jiseok " Jungsu smiles at him.
Jiseok stands up and walks towards Jungsu, whispering in his ear " Ill pay you 10 bucks if u take him home. " Jungsu chuckles, he steps away " 10 is what i make an hour, give me something more. " Jiseok whines, he runs a hand through his hair, looking back at Seungmin who is speaking to himself. He looks back at Jungsu. " twenty... five? "
Jungsu sucks air through his teeth, he looks at the time 1:28AM he puts his hand on his hips. " How far away is his house.. or apartment? " Jiseok rubs his neck. A awkward laugh comes out of his mouth " 15-20.... minutes.. " Jungsu scoffs, he shakes his head, " Hell no, im not driving 15-20 minutes for 25 bucks my guy. "
Jiseok stomps his feet, he grabs his wallet and looks into it. His eyes widen, he grabs his phone and looks through his bank account, his feet tapping on the ground. "...45? " he looks up at Jungsu. He chuckles a bit. " You seriously want me to drive him for 45? Can't you just like ask his family to get him? I dont wanna make you broke Jiseok-ay.. "
Jiseok puts his phone and wallet back into his pockets. " He doesn't have " he pauses " anyone.. and the only other person he has is the bartender next door. Junhan, and you know how he is... " he whispers.
Jungsu crosses his arms, hesitating. stares into Jiseoks big puppy dog eyes. " Please! I wanna drink too... " Jiseok frowns and sticks out his bottom lip pouting. Jungsu makes a disgusted face Damn it. " Ew.. okay whatever, just dont make that face again. " Jungsu sighs. Jiseok jumps in joy. " His address is... " Jiseok mumbled a address
Jungsu writes it down, he puts it in his pocket and walks over to the other worker whose on his knees putting up chips. " Jooyeon.. could you cover me for like 50 minutes? " Jooyeon looks up at him with annoyance, he sighs and nods. " you owe me 10 though. " Jungsu flicks his forehead. " no. " Jooyeon rolls his eyes. " Whatever just come back quick.. " Jungsu smiles and ruffles his head. " Of course. "
1:33AM
The car was quiet, save for the hum of the engine and Seungmin’s heavy breathing. Jungsu kept his eyes on the road, hands tight on the wheel.
“ You’re a good driver " Seungmin mumbled, head lolling against the glass. “ Better than Junhan He drives like he’s running from the police. " Jungsu chuckled “Junhan does run from the police. Don’t compare me to him. "
“ Mmm, you smell nice too. Like… uh... chips. " Seungmin giggled, he squirms a bit in his seat, Jungsu rolled his eyes, but a small smile tugged at his lips. “Go to sleep, Seungmin-ah we’re almost there.”
“ Don’t wanna. ” he slurred, eyes fluttering shut anyway. " Nobodys there anyway. " Jungsu's smile vanished. He glanced over, but Seungmin was already out, mouth slightly open, hair slowly falling into his eyes. The soft sound of snoring fills the quiet car.
Jungsu looked back at the road, approaching a red light, he looks back at Seungmin What a weirdo.. he scoffs and looks back at the light, still red. He looks again at Seungmin his chest tightens, he reaches out to move his hair out of his eyes. The light turns green before he can touch him.
He pulls back and puts his hands back on the wheel, he sighs and continues to drive. what am i doing.
1:48AM
They finally made it to the apartment, its nothing special, just a regular apartment.
Seungmin still soundly sleeping in the passenger seat, his head against the car window, Jungsu let's out a sigh of relief. " Seungmin.. we're here.. time to get up. " He taps on the sleeping man's shoulder.
Seungmin whines, he turns away from him. " mm.. no. " Jungsu sighs, he places a hand on his shoulder, shaking him slightly. " Seungmin, come on now.. its 2 am.. " seungmin scoots farther away from him. Jungsu lets out a groan. " Atleast tell me your apartment number. " seungmin hesitates " ..129 " Jungsu sighs " Okay. "
He gets out of the car, walking towards the passenger side, he opens it. Seungmins eyes slightly open. " hey~ its the hot man from the uh... store! " he giggles. Jungsu shakes his head with a slight smile, he unbuckles the man. " Are you gonna make me carry you. " Seungmin smiles, he nods. " ill do anything for a hot man to carry me to my home~ " he slurs a bit.
Jungsu rolls his eyes, he puts a arm under Seungmins knees and one under his back, picking him up bridal style he grunts at the sudden weight. Seungmin gasps as he wraps his arms around Jungsu's neck lazily. " This is so ridiculous.. " Jungsu closed the door with his back. Seungmin giggles " this is so fun.. "
After minutes of struggling and cussing under his breath, he finally finds the unit.
" 129.. okay. Seungmin-ah could you put in the pin please? " Seungmin shook his head yes, he turned around slightly, putting in the pin number. 8311. A click it unlocks, the door slowly opens, he pushes through. Seeing a shoe rack next to the door way, He steps out of his shoes putting them aside.
Its dark, he flicks the light on, making seungmin whine he closes his eyes tightly. " its too bright.. " Jungsu ignored him. The living room is small, with a kitchen on the left and a bedroom hall straight down. Its surprisingly neat for someone like him. Not bad. Jungsu thinks to himself.
He slowly walks over to the bedroom door, opening it with his hand under his knees. He walks in, the room is fairly small, a bed, a bedside table, desk and a closet, and a clothing rack right next to it. Its a bit more messy than the living room, clothes on chairs, floor, dishes on the desk and bedside table.
He walks next to the bed, leaning down to let Seungmin down. The arms around his neck tighten. " Don't go yet.. " Jungsu sighs softly, he smiles slightly at him. " You have to go to sleep, and I need to go back to work before I get beaten up by Jooyeon. " Seungmin frowns. " But.. " he cuts him off " No buts. Let go Seungmin-ah. " he says a bit more sternly. Seungmin whines, he lets go of his neck.
Jungsu puts him down, a wave of relief came over him. He kneels down to untie Seungmins shoes, he pauses and looks up at the man. " Are you gonna do this if I leave. Or are you gonna just leave them on. " Seungmin shrugs. He shakes his head and continues to untie his shoes. Slipping them off one by one, putting them down in front of the bed out of the way.
He stands up and reaches over the man to grab a blanket, he lays it onto him, his hands lingering near his shoulders. He moves away. " Okay seungmin.. Goodnight. " he starts to turn around, Seungmin frowns. " atleast leave me your number before you go~.. " he teases.
Jungsu's eyes widen, he turns around slowly, he hesitates before reaching into his pocket where seungmin's phone is. " Unlock it.. " he hands it to seungmin. Seungmins eyes sparkle with stars, What a cutie. I mean.. Jungsu shakes his head out of the thought. what are you thinking, Jungsu..
Seungmin unlocks his phone and pulls up his contacts giving it back to him. " You.. better not call me at 2am.. only call me if ur dying. " he says while typing in his contact information. Seungmin nods " god why am i even doing this.. I just met you. " he mutters to himself.
He pulls out his phone, calling himself so he can know Seungmin's phone number, turning it off puting it back in his pocket. He gives the phone back to Seungmin, he takes it back and looks at the name Kim Jungsu.
" Thank you hyung~ " Seungmin smiles at him, Jungsu's chest tightens at the sight. " Yeah.. its whatever, goodnight.. " He turns around and leaves the bedroom.
He walks towards the front door, leaning down to put his shoes back on. His hand pausing at the door knob, eventually he opens it and leaves. " What the fuck.. " He starts to walk away, glancing back at the door. 129.
" Fucking jiseok.. never doing anything for him again., " he mutters while walking down the stairs. Rubbing his neck where Seungmins arms were.
2:14AM
Jungsu walks back into the store, he spots Jooyeon behind the counter with a sly smirk on his face, he rolls his eyes knowing what's about to come. " Did you get laid?~ " Jooyeon says teasingly " Shut up.. no I didnt.. " Jungsu face fades into a slight pink. " Awh~ your blushing.. " Jungsu glares at him. " You know.. im really nice to you.. You don't want that to change do you? "
Jooyeon's eyes widen " Damn Hyung, you got like 10 times more attractive. " Jungsu groans, he goes behind the counter, pushing Jooyeon out. " Get away from me Jooyeon. " Jooyeon smirks at him, he teases him " You and drunk guy sitting in a tree..~"
Jungsu covers his face in embarrassment and annoyance. " his name is seungmin, do you even listen Jooyeon? " Jooyeon shrugs " Never heard of it. " Jungsu rolled his eyes. He flinched as a customer comes in
" Hello how can I help you? " he immediately shifts into worker mode, but his mind racing still. The conversation with the customer turns into a blur, his mind filling with thoughts about Seungmin.
Some appropriate some... Seungmin gripping the sheets, his head thrown back. Calling. No. whimpering his name. He keeps shaking his head to get rid of it but they only come back harder.
As he looks at the clock, 2:17AM. He never wanted to go home so bad.
