Jinyoung had no idea how he ended up in a bar.
                          
Him and Jaebum had made it to the cafe, and they sat and talked for a while, which was nice. Jinyoung liked being able to just sit and talk comfortably with Jaebum, though he was always getting distracted by the elder's good looks and occasional touchiness.
                          
But then they left that cafe, deciding to get out of there and take a walk off-campus together in the dimming daylight. Jaebum refused to allow Jinyoung to walk without his arm around his waist, which made the younger's chest constantly flutter. As they were just about to pass by the bar, Jaebum said he needed to go in to use the bathroom, which ended up in the two sitting and staying for beers. Jinyoung told Jaebum that he was a lightweight, in which Jaebum replied "Live a little".
                          
So now he sat across a tipsy Jaebum who lived a bit too much, while he himself was pretty sober since he stopped drinking after downing only half a beer.
                          
"Hey, maybe we should go now." Jinyoung suggested, preferring that he got Jaebum out of there while he wasn't totally drunk so they could make it back to the dorms easily.
                          
"I've only had like... three beers." Jaebum complained as Jinyoung slid off his stool.
                          
"That's a lot in a little amount of time. And it seems like the alcohol content is pretty high..."
                          
"Jinyoungie didn't even finish his first drink." Jaebum complained, pointing at the half drunk bottle of beer he'd left on the table.
                          
Jinyoung felt a chill run down his spine at the sound of his nickname. Only the maknaes had called him that, now suddenly Jaebum had picked it up too. It was the alcohol making him talk funny, but that didn't make Jinyoung's heart stop fluttering. "I-I'm a lightweight, I told you...."
                          
"Aw don't be embarrassed baby." Jaebum chuckled as he stood up, hooking an arm around Jinyoung's neck. "C'mon, let's go back to my dorm."
                          
"Uh, yeah, I'll walk you there." Jinyoung replied, trying not to fanboy at being called 'baby' so casually. Jaebum was a bit tipsy, he wasn't thinking totally straight, that was all. 
                          
He slid his arm around Jaebum's waist and held him close, not planning on releasing him until they got safely to his dorm room.
                          
The two walked back to campus and to the dorm, making it past security with Jaebum sober enough not to trip and look like a clumsy idiot, but also drunk enough to carelessly say whatever was on his mind.
                          
As they walked down the corridor of the dorm complex, Jaebum buried his face in Jinyoung's neck, taking in a deep breath before giggling. "God you smell amazing. What cologne do you wear?"

                          
The elder's hair and breath tickled Jinyoung's neck, making him shudder while he tried his best not to react and focus on getting somewhere where Jaebum could sit down. "Uh, well, I just used a different liquid soap this morning..."
                          
"Use it more. I like it." 
                          
"O-Oh, okay..."
                          
Jaebum lifted his head, staring straight at Jinyoung with a smile on his face. He giggled again as he lifted his finger and poked it into the younger's soft cheek. "Honestly you're so cute. Messin' with you is fun as hell."
                          
"Oh yeah, I'm sure it's a lot of fun from your perspective..." Jinyoung mumbled. He turned down a corridor, walking a few more feet toward the end where Jaebum's room was. "Do you have your keys?"
                          
Jaebum groaned at the question, opting to completely ignore it. "Jinyoung, you should loosen up, maybe I should've bought you another drink..."
                          
"I... don't think I would've been able to handle another one." the latter replied.
