music was pumped through the air still, the deep beat thudded in sungbin’s chest as he finished off the last of his drink; head tilted back and his friends constant chatter filling the static underneath. they were talking about some girl or another, he didn’t truly decipher what through the constant noise drummed against his ears -- but he nodded anyway when they looked towards him with their questioning gazes. an opinion he made with his knees pressed into his knees, the cup discarded on the surface in front of him, and the buzz of intoxication through his system.
