"Geule. Make sure to bring her home safely."
"Keokjeonghajima! I would never let her get hurt,
not again."

"Cheers!!"
Wine glasses and beer mugs are clinking, bottle caps are popping. They occupied a private room at Jin's restaurant and celebrated the success of his movie.
Hoseok only had a glass of wine and that was it. All of them know that his face turns super red if he drinks more than that. Namjoon isn't a big drinker too. However, the three of them are just natural born alcoholic! They partied and drank all night, not thinking about the hangover they'll surely get tomorrow.
It's half past 2 am and the restaurant has long been closed. Jin passed out drunk and his driver brought him home.
"Who's taking me home? Who's taking you home?" Drunk Yoongi asked Lily.
"Mol- hik! Molla (I don't know)", Lily's head is on her arm on the table. She kept on having hiccups from being too drunk.
"I'll take you home." Namjoon and Hoseok, again, simultaneously volunteered.
"Mwo? (What?)"
"Yah yaah!!!! Nan hyung-ida!! (Hey hey!!! I'm your older brother!!) Who's going to take me home if both of you want to take her home?"
"I'll take care of her. You should drive hyung home." Namjoon firmly said.
"I drive better than you, I can bring her home safer", Hoseok insisted.
"Hyung's home is closer to your home."
"No worries. It's fine with me."
"I'm just protecting her from the paparazzi. Someone might see you two driving around in the midnight. You're a married man."
Hoseok didn't realize that until Namjoon spit out the hurtful truth. He cares about her more than anyone else and a rumor might taint her reputation.
"Geule (Ok)", he moved closer to Namjoon, "make sure to bring her home safely."
"Keokjeonghajima! (Don't worry about it!) I would never let her get hurt, not again."
Namjoon gently grabbed Lily and helped her get up. She stood up but the alcohol defeated her knees. He instead got on his knees and made Lily get on his back. He stood up and walked out the restaurant slowly towards his car.
Hoseok helped Yoongi get up and put the older's arm on his shoulder. They both walked towards Hoseok's car while Yoongi kept on babbling.
"Are you taking me home? Gomawo. Jeongmal gomawo, (Thank you) Seokseok"
"O." He answered his hyung but he can't keep his eyes off of Namjoon and Lily who's walking in front of them.
Yoongi kept on murmuring, "...... Jimin-a'... hik! hik!" Hiccups are interrupting his incomprehensible speech. "Jimin-a, bogo shipeoyo (I miss you Jimin)." He kept saying Jimin's name until he fell asleep in Hoseok's car.

Namjoon drove carefully and kept checking on his passenger. He tilted the seat backwards so she can lay comfortably. He checked around the neighborhood for convenience stores and he stopped by one. He left Lily in his car sleeping and went fast inside to get what she needs. He came back after a few minutes and found that Lily's awake.
"Hey. I just bought something inside."
She wiped her face with her hand and rubbed her eyes. "Uriga eodi itji? (Where are we?)"
