jaehyun was drunk. again. it's been a week since the incident and he's been coming home drunk. jaehyun's a high tolerance, so if he's deadass wasted, it means he's drank a lot.

"jung yoon oh, you big fat baby! you gotta give me some help here, carry your fucking weight, you know you're damn heavy!"

jessica picked him up from the bar with his friends. he tried calling yunho for some help but everyone knows yunho never deals with a drunk jaehyun. no one ever deals with a drunk jaehyun. he's a handful and only taeyong can deal with him. but there's no taeyong now.

krystal came out of the house running her way to her two siblings. "man, you don't get a grip, do you? how many bottles did he drink this time?" she asked her older sister as she helped carry him inside the house.

"he's wasted. you know how many." the older rolled her eyes at the younger. "is mom awake?" she asked.

"she's asleep, she knew you were bringing this big baby home, guess she didn't wanna see you." they set jaehyun on the sofa in the living room.

"he's drunk again?" yunho came from the garden going towards the stairs. "wasted." jessica replied.

"that's why you don't deal with a drunk jaehyun." yunho said before sipping his tea, making his way up the stairs, avoiding the youngest sibling.

"god, will you look at this guy." krystal made face and folded her arms. "he's been coming home drunk ever since they broke up. what a nasty break up that is. if he loved the guy why did he break up with him and get drunk like this?"

"they both cheated, that's why." jessica knew by now, and she gotta say, it isn't the best break up. "he's acting like this because he can't get over his guilt. i think they still haven't made up." jessica sat on the couch beside the sleeping jaehyun. "yeah like you and mom." and jessica scoffed at the statement.

"she's the one who doesn't wanna see me, it's been years since i went to new york, it's been years since yunho took over the company, she just can't get over that."

krystal shrugged and looked over the passed out jaehyun on the couch. "man, he's miserable. he's never gonna get over this, is he?" it was jessica's fear that shut her up for a second.

"i don't think he is. i'm scared for him, krys." she massaged her temples as she said that.

"he'll be okay, he just needs some time."

they were covered with silence for a few seconds before deciding to sleep. "should we leave him here?" krystal asked and jessica replied with, "yeah, i can't carry him anymore."

johnny and yuta entered jaehyun's house with bags of food in hand. inside, there was a passed out jaehyun on the couch along with the two sisters watching tv beside him.

"good morning jung sisters. little jung haven't woken up yet? and why is here on the couch?" johnny asked as he placed down the food on the center table.

"we couldn't carry him anymore, so..." krystal trailed off.

a little later, the sisters left and jaehyun woke up with perfectly disheveled hair. "ahh, little jung is finally awake." yuta said and ate a piece of strawberry. "what time is it?" the younger asked and received a reply from yuta, "it's 10."

"you're supposed to have a photoshoot at 11." johnny said that made the younger sat back up so quickly it hurt his head.

"i canceled it." johnny smirked making jaehyun glare.

"dude, you gotta stop doing this. you've been going home wasted for a week now." jaehyun rolled his eyes at yuta's remark.

"so what? i have no one to stop me now." he opened one of the food packs and started digging in. "jae, this is so not like you. you could actually get sick with this." johnny said, actually scared for his top model and best friend.

"i'm not gonna get sick, john. stop over reacting. i'm alive, i'm breathing, aren't i?" the youngest said while slurping a bowl of soup.

"you're seriously acting like a fucking asshole right now. we're just worried for you. i thought you got over taeyong? you both cheated you said, and you ended on mutual terms. why do you act like you've been trying so hard to get over him for a year, you told me you've moved on." johnny furrowed his eyebrows at the other.

"john, stop. i told you i'm okay, i've moved on. i'm just having fun, can't i do that now?" jaehyun replied setting the bowl and spoon down.

"whatever you say, jung."

it's movie night. it means the gang are gathered in jungwoo's house, curled up all in the big white circular couch facing the big screen. with the maids arranging the food, various snacks surrounded them, on the carpeted floor was bowls of popcorn, trays of fries, nachos, different types of candies for taeyong's sweet tooth, ten's favorite mozzarella cheese sticks and towers of root beer.

ten snuggled close to johnny as they watched the horror film. everyone knows they'll end up on one of jungwoo's guest rooms so they let them be. lucas, who sat on the carpeted floor, seemed to not be bothered by the movie, when the others were already shaking.

"oh come on, just jump already, you're gonna die either way!" taeyong, the yeller of the group when it came to these films, burst out. jaehyun found it cute, nonetheless.

"i'll put you in there myself if you don't stop, tae!" ten yelled back.

"make me, john's midget!" ten stopped before he can reply knowing his nickname for taeyong is now dead, jae's twink. instead he just rolled his eyes in defeat.

with ten's eyes roaming around, he found jaehyun's eyes pierced on taeyong who watched intently. if they're gonna be like this, why don't they come back together? it annoyed ten. he was taeyong's tear-bag. taeyong came to him when he was in pain, he witnessed taeyong's tears as he complained about every single thing. he knows what's going on with taeyong. what he doesn't understand is them being this foolish. why don't they just be with each other again if they're be like this? what a bunch of fucking cowards.

ten came closer to johnny's ear and whispered, "look at your best friend."

johnny slowly shifted his gaze to the man beside him. he shook his head softly and drank on his root beer instead. a little later, ten received a message from sicheng who was on the floor snuggled with yuta.

"are u seeing what im seeing rn?" the text read. ten rolled his eyes with a smirk and replied, "idk i wasn't lookin at yuta's pants but if ure talkin abt jae starin at tae, yeah i see this act of cowardice right in front of me"

the rest of the gang gathered in the living room when taeyong and jaehyun left. they circled around the table and began discussing about the awkward situation of their two friends.

"man, they're exhausting to handle." ten whined as he sat on johnny's lap that earned a scoff from sicheng, "ew, get a room, bitch."

ten rolled his eyes at the statement. "anyway, how do we bring them closer together? it's been a week."

"any parent-trapping ideas, anyone?" sicheng asked and lucas raised his hand like a kid. "oh oh, what about blind dates?"

"or ditching them in the movies?" yuta pitched in.

"you guys, that's childish." jungwoo stated before adding, "let's do it."

 "let's go with the blind date first." doyoung replied back.

"what, we set them up on a date?" johnny asked looking at lucas. "that could work, or we can set them on different dates but really really horrible ones so they come running back to each other." lucas eyes sparkled at his great idea which earned a rolling eyes from the 4 bottoms.

"gotta tell you, lucas. this isn't friends season 9, but it could work." doyoung said with a slight shrug. "we gotta keep it lowkey and if we set them up on a date, it's gonna be obvious that we planned it. if we set them on different dates, they won't know it's us."

"so that's plan a, we need back up if this doesn't work." jungwoo said.

"i told you, ditch them in the movies." yuta said again. "we ask to see a movie with them and we wait till they notice we stood them up. come on that's so easy."

"we could play 7 minutes, then we lock them all night." everybody turned to look at jungwoo as if he had the best idea ever.

"we gotta throw a party for that to keep it lowkey." he added.

"don't worry about it." johnny smirked.
