Chapter 1
Four in the MorningTheir small apartment was quiet, save for a tiny tapping coming from the quiet kitchen. It was a restless Jimin, waiting in the dimly lit room for a man unworthy of his love to return home from his supposed night out with friends. It was nothing new. Every other night was like this one. Jimin would wait patiently for his boyfriend to return, but some nights he wouldn't make it home, which usually led to Jimin falling asleep right there at the kitchen table. Jimin's tapping stopped when he heard a jingle at the front door.
"Seung?" Jimin called as he walked out the kitchen to see his boyfriend stumbling towards the room they shared. Following behind the obvious drunk, Jimin asked, "You've been drinking, huh?"
"So?" Seung scoffed, plopping down on their freshly made bed. "I'm not allowed to drink?"
"I didn't say that. It's just... You stay out so late, and then you come back smelling like you bathed in liquor." Jimin nodded.
"Is that a problem?"
"It is."
"." Seung began to stretch out on their bed, and within minutes he was asleep.
Jimin brushed his hair out of his face, and sighed heavily. Nothing frustrated him more, than a drunken Seung. But, there was no way he'd be able to stay mad at a man that he loved so dearly.

The next day Jimin found himself shuffling behind Seung, who'd been trying to find his car keys for the past fifteen minutes. "Are you going to be out all day again?" Jimin asked.
"That's none of your business." Seung said simply.
"It is my business. You're my boyfriend. I have the right to know where you're gonna be and how long you're gonna be out."
"Sounds more like you're trying to be my mom."
"Sorry, if I don't want to be home alone all day." Jimin said quietly.
"Then go outside. Doesn't Hana work today? Go bother her for a change. You're starting to annoy me." Once Seung finally found his keys, he left without saying goodbye.
Jimin was left with hurt feelings, and teary eyes. He had no idea why Seung was always so harsh to him all of a sudden. It wasn't like he was always like that. Seung treated Jimin with care, and showered him with affection not even two yea
