I'm not a kid anymore...

Beams of sunlight shoot through the slightly cracked blindes, cascading against the resting body of RapMon. The light slowly makes its way up from the tips of his toes all the way up to the soft pale skin of his full cheeks. He turns his head in the opposite direction to avoid daylight but it's of no use. His hands grip onto his blanket, raising it up over his head to no avail. He frustratedly swings his arms about and throws the blanket off of himself before sitting up in his bed.
Rap Monster: "grrrr!! Somebody please fix the blinds!"
He throws himself back down onto the bed and just lays there restlessly. His eyes struggle to open, his blurred vision taking its time to regain its sight. He clutched onto the bed sheet before sitting up once again angrily. Looking around, quite confused, he realizes that he is the only one still in the room.
Rap Monster: "aish! Where is everybody?"
His legs swing to the side of the bed before his bare feet plant themselves firmly on the ground. Standing upright he groggily steps to the closet and reaches at the handle. Upon gripping it, he pulls the door open, but yanks the handle right off of the door.
Rap Monster: "today is just not my day..."
He steps closer, digging his nails into the crack of the door, pulling at it until it opens enough for him to grab a hold of it and open it completely. He reaches for his towel, and sets aside an outfit for the day, laying it out on his bed before making his way to the bedroom door, opening it and stepping outside of the room.
Bangtan Sonyeondan: "SURPRISE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAPMON!!!"
Startled by all the commotion he jumps back, slamming into the door and dropping his towel on the ground. While reaching for it, he smiles widely as he comes across the large home made banner made out of toilet paper, hanging across the room. Everyone in party hats and pajamas, they begin clapping whilst singing happy birthday to him. Suga steps forward and places a birthday hat atop his head, hanging the thin elastic band which connects to the hat, underneath his jaw.
Suga: "Happy Birthday Namjoon-ah!"
Rap Monster: "thanks Yoongi Hyung."
He reaches out and grabs a hold of Suga, embracing him tightly. I11evn steps out of the kitchen besides Supreme Boi, holding a large cake with a candle in the shape of the number seventeen set a flame atop of it. RapMon smiles even wider looking to everyone in the dorm celebrating with him. They stop directly in front of him and hold out the cake.
I11evn: "make a wish!"
Supreme Boi: "wish for us to make a lot of money, and to meet a lot of women!!"
J-hope and Suga laugh while clapping in a congratulatory fashion. RapMon looks around, and his smile fades as he comes to the realization that Iron isn't there. He looks back to the cake and stares as the light on the candle dances. His eyes begin to water before he closes them and contemplates a wish. Only the thought of Iron can come to mind as he inhales deeply, then exhales, blowing out the candle and causing everyone to cheer once again.
Supreme Boi: "YEEEEAAAAHHHH!!! I can't wait to be swimming in money and women!!!"
I11even digs his fingers in at the side of the cake, scooping up quite a large amount before smearing it across RapMon's face. He shouts loudly as he then begins to wipe it, only to have more cake smeared by Suga and then Supreme Boi. He shakes his head before running away from the group and into the bathroom to wash off all the cake.
RapMon turns on the faucet and cups his hands together, gathering as much water as they can hold before splashing it on his face. J-hope steps away from the others as they make their way into the kitchen in order to eat the cake. He stops at the doorway of the bathroom and leans against it, watching RapMon as he dries his face with his towel.
J-Hope: "were you really surprised?"
Rap Monster: "yeah! I had no idea."
J-Hope: "sorry about Leader Hyung not being here. We tried to find him but--"
Rap Monster: "pfffft! What makes you think that I even care if he's here or not?"
J-Hope: "oh, I just thought that you two were the closest out of everyone here. Whenever he's gone, you're the only one who ever knows where he is. You're the only person who even seems to understand him, you two even share a bed, so I just assumed--"
Rap Monster: "all the people that matter are here now. That's all that matters to me."
J-Hope: "our maknae is finally 17!!"
Rap Monster: "heh... Yeah."
J-Hope: "looks like you're not a kid anymore."
Rap Monster: "I think that you're the only one who realizes that."
J-Hope: "anything in particular you want to do today?"
Rap Monster: "honestly? I just want to drink until this day passes."
J-Hope: "and I won't even ask why. Throw something on, let's ditch everybody."
Rap Monster: "seriously?"
J-Hope: "unless you want to explain to everybody why you want to drink so much."
Rap Monster: "yeah, I'll get dressed."
J-Hope steps away from the bathroom and looks to the others digging into their large pieces of cake, while RapMon sneakily makes his way into his bedroom. He steps closer to the group and looks around mischievously as he observes that no one is actually drinking anything. He steps into the kitchen and opens the refrigerator feeling the brisk cool air brush against his body.
J-Hope: "Yah! Is there nothing to drink here?"
Supreme Boi: "I think Hunchul has a beer all the way in the back of the fridge!"
Suga: "Shhhhh!! Our manager is still in the other room."
Supreme Boi: "ah! Sorry. No beer!"
He nods his head up and down and mouths the words "yes beer" to J-hope who then slams the refrigerator door closed. He steps over the other members seated on the floor and then over the cake placed in between them. Upon making his way into his room he just slips on a oversized T-shirt and some jeans then steps out the room.
I11evn: "where are you going?"
J-Hope: "I'm just going to the store to get some juice."
Suga: "you should pick up some Soju!"
Supreme Boi: "Yeah!! I mean, nooo!!!"
He nods his head again and mouths the words "yeeeah Soju." J-Hope laughs lightly before stopping at RapMon's door and knocking on it softly. RapMon steps out in a similar outfit, black oversized T, and a pair of light blue jeans.
I11evn: "both of you are going?"
J-Hope: "he needs some fresh air."
Rap Monster: "yeah! We'll be right back!"
J-Hope slowly heads toward the door but RapMon feeling rather impatient pushes his hands against his lower back and shoves him toward the door. While slipping on their shoes, they laugh devilishly before running out of the dorm and down the hall. They begin jumping around in the hallway before stepping into the staircase and then finally out of the building.
Morning quickly turns to afternoon and after several bottles of Soju mid afternoon falls upon them. Now in a seated position, their legs hover beneath them as they are seated beside one another on a children's swing set. Their bodies rocking lightly back and forth as they continue to pass a bottle between each other.
Rap Monster: "this... I-I-is the worst birthday... Ever!"
J-Hope: "pfffft! You're being dramatic, underage drinking and a playground? Sounds pretty Daebak to me!"
Rap Monster: "I guess your right, pass that bottle back over here."
J-Hope laughs quite loudly, which causes him to snort. RapMon reaches for the bottle and misses, they watch as it falls to the ground and shatters almost as if it were happening in slow motion. They both look to the shards of glass and soju seeping into the cracks between the mats. Their eyes raise, and then meet, which causes them to burst out laughing loudly.
Rap Monster: "shhhhhhh!"
J-Hope: "ooh man! I think that was our last one!"
Rap Monster: "w-we have to get more, the sun is still here..."
J-Hope: "the store is so far!"
Rap Monster: "I wish we could swing to the store."
J-Hope: "I bet we can!"
The two begin pumping their legs back and forth, pushing their bodies harder and higher with each swing. The higher they go, the louder its hinges begin to screech. Back and forth, faster, and faster they go, J-Hope begins to lean forward, while clutching the chains attached ever so tightly.
J-Hope: "ready... Steady... And-"
Parent: "are you crazy!? Get out of here you drunken idiots!! Children play here, and you leave glass everywhere!!!"
They both lean back in their seats before spreading legs outward, digging their heels into the mat like surfaces beneath their feet. They spring forward as the pace they were swinging in eases dramatically. The woman who's hand is being held by a small child continues to shout and scold The two as they continue to sprint forward, out, and away from the playground.
The sun sets and nightfall quickly follows. The duo who are both laid out across the large plain of grass in the park they somehow ended up in just watch as time passes. Staring up at the sky, watching as each star appears. They continue to pass a bottle between the two.
Rap Monster: "I don't think this was a good idea."
J-Hope: "not having fun yet?"
Rap Monster: "oh, I am. Thank you for giving this to me. It's exactly what I wanted. I uh... I just don't think it was a good idea to drink and not talk about what's actually bothering me."
J-Hope: "I knew it was a bad idea, but I didn't want to nag."
Rap Monster: "nag away Hoseok, nag away. Hunchul is the neglectful father of the dorm, we need a nagging mother to keep the kids in line."
J-Hope: "just remember, you asked for it!"
They just continue to stare upward as the sky is now fully lit up with several tiny stars, each shinning brighter than the other. J-Hope extends his hand over and RapMon jiggles the almost empty bottle before sitting upright and just staring ahead. He takes the finally swig old rom the bottle and throws it t
