September Part II

In all honesty, Jisoo wouldn't come to the football games if it weren't for her friends.

That was a lie, of course, as she always felt her eyes drawn towards Jennie's form as she nimbly dodged people and practically send the ball soaring across the field from muscled biceps and long fingers. Whether or not she liked it, Jennie had some sort of spell over Jisoo, and Jisoo was drawn to her like a moth to an open flame.

But pregaming with the delinquents was always fun, especially because that's what they were.

Delinquents.

The majority of the student population tended to forget that they were referred to as such for a reason, but, quite frankly, Jisoo needed a bit of relaxation before she was anywhere near Jennie Kim, and the get-togethers with her friends helped satiate that need.

Suho, of course, had a reputation to keep as class president, so he acted as the DD, mother hen, making sure his friends didn't go off and do anything stupid, courtesy of the products of Kim & Oh Inc. In addition to their monopoly on the weed trade at the school, the two of them had also procured a still from somewhere, and thus, Xiumin's Famous Moonshine was born.

It tasted like ass and hurt like hell the next morning, but it was worth it for the buzz.

Anything was better than Lisa's half assed drink concoction that she'd named Rocket Fuel . They only pulled that out when something particularly horrible happened. Most games against Azgeda, Chanyeol could be seen chugging it out of an insulated water bottle that Sooyoung swapped in increments with an identical one filled with actual water to ensure her boyfriend didn't get too hammered.

It was at these moments Lisa and Irene's favorite person emerged:

Drunk Jisoo.

Also referred to as Party Girl Kim, though the frequency of her appearance had lessened significantly after the passing of her father, for obvious reasons.

A few cups of moonshine in, and Jisoo could feel her tension melting away, being replaced by contentedness and the inherent need to flirt with someone, anyone. This usually ended up being Suho, who would keep up with her rapid-fire pickup lines and inebriated attempts at affection, all whilst convincing her to drink water and laughing off her advances.

It had started as a joke.

Ever since Jisoo and Suho had reached what people considered to be "dating age", they'd constantly been bombarded with questions on the state of their relationship with one another, and their flirting had become somewhat of a running gag within their friend group.

They'd known each other since they were in diapers, it'd be weird for them to date.

Besides, Suho was like the brother Jisoo never had.

At the moment, Jisoo was poking the swell of Suho's abs, marvelling at how firm his stomach was, and pressing at her own softer belly in comparison, and frowning.

"Don't worry about it, Princess," Suho assured, "your stomach makes a much better pillow than mine, which makes it better." This seemed to placate the girl, and she grinned, before Lisa slung her arm over the brunette's shoulders, grinning ear-to-ear.

"You ready to go watch the Grounders kick ass?"

"Did you mean ready to stare at Jennie's ass?" Irene interjected, and Jisoo shot her a nasty glare, sticking her tongue out at the smirking girl.

"'M not gonna stare at Kim's ass," Jisoo pouted, shaking her head, "I mean, it is a great ass, not that I've noticed or anything, but I'm not gonna stare at it. That'd be rude." Suho shook his head in exasperation as the other two girls continued to tease Jisoo, passing her a bottle of water and one of the burgers he'd brought along.
