Jay
Riki stumbled into the group dorm at almost midnight. Way later than he was told to come back, but at least he was here! But one problem
He was extremely drunk.
And all he wanted right now was the warm embrace of one of his hyungs. He wanted to be held.
On a treacherous journey to find his hyungs (the 1 meter walk from the door to the living room) He heard talking coming from Jay's room.
completely distracted from his scavenger hunt of finding all his hyungs, who he was expecting to be in the living room, They must have gone to bed early, He made his way towards Jays room.
Pushing the door open he saw Jay sitting at his desk chair with his phone in front of him, presumably on weverse live, but he didn’t care about being on live he just wanted his hyung.
Jay looked up at the noise of his door opening and was met with a very wobbly and unbalanced Riki.
“Hyung—…” Riki’s words slurred as he dragged out the last syllable before he fell into Jay’s lap and straddled him in his chair.
Jay looked up at the camera, caught off guard.
“Ki i’m live.” Jay whispered to Riki as he placed his hand on the drunk boys back.
Riki just nuzzled his head deeper in Jays shoulder and mumbled out something that sounded like
‘i don’t care’
“I- Um Riki? Jesus you’re wasted!” Jay realized and looked back to the camera in a sort of panic, knowing their manager would be mad at them as soon as he finds out about this and Riki being so drunk on Live.
A giggling Riki looked up at jay, Looking so small in the oversized hoodie he was wearing and in his position, curled up on Jay's lap.
“Nooo i’m not!”
“You need water.” Jay said to him forgetting about the camera being on them and reaching over the get the bottle of water he had next to him on his desk.
Jay brought the water up to Rikis lips as encouragement to drink, But Riki just hid his head in Jay's neck once again. Almost resembling a fussy child.
“Come on, please? You need to drink, then go to sleep” He said to Riki stroking his hair softly.
Riki gasped and looked up at Jay .
“What, No!”
“Trust me Ki, tomorrow you won’t want this on livestream for the whole world to see.” Jay muttered into Riki’s ear, hiding his words from the listening audience.
“I don’t care,” the younger pouted, trying to use his aegyo to get his way, as he always does. “Please let me stay.”
But Jay won’t give into the temptation will he.
Or he will.
Riki’s soft plump lips looking even bigger in his pout and his narrow auburn eyes looking up at Jay in a sort of innocent puppy dog expression.
Jay ran his fingers through the boys hair once again and watched as his eyes fluttered shut slowly and how Riki leaned into the touch like a cat craving attention from its owner, hitting his head softly against his hyung’s hand, silently asking for more affection.
He sighed let himself go limp in Jays lap focusing on only the sensation of Jays hands in his hair.
Defeated, Jay rolled his eyes at the boy and held him tighter accepting his fate. (getting scolded by their manager in the morning).
Continuing his live as Riki fell asleep in his lap.
Engene had a field day with this.

Sunghoon
Sunghoon and Ni-Ki were currently attending a fashion show event in America, They were supposed to stay close together as neither was fluent in English and they didn’t have any of their other members with them.
But there was one problem
They were MEANT to stick together
And Sunghoon can not find Riki.
He swore Riki was right beside him while he was introduced to the other guests, but when he looked back to Riki he was gone.
“This kid..” Sunghoon muttered under his breath.
He should probably buy Riki one of those child backpack leashes.
Quickly exchanging goodbyes with the guests he went to search for Riki, First stop, the small fancy buffet near the entrance of the place, Maybe he was hungry.
Sunghoon made his way to the buffet table but still—
He could not find Riki.
He was starting to get concerned at this point, Riki would never normally just disappear, Riki was always ready to tackle an obsessive fan out the way because they were blocking him from holding his hyung's hand, their manager did tell him he wasn’t allowed to though.
Next, Sunghoon went to check the bathrooms, still no Riki, Then, the outdoor area,
But still,
No Riki.
The only remaining place that Riki could possibly be was the bar in the secluded section of the venue, Surely he wouldn’t have gone there right?
Wrong.
When Sunghoon made it to the bar, immediately, he saw Riki, an extremely intoxicated Riki.
“Riki! I’ve been looking for you everywhere you can’t just run off like that!” Sunghoon scolded spinning the bar stool the boy was sitting at around to face him.
“Whaatttt, I didn’t run here? I walked here!” Riki giggled and poked Sunghoons shoulder “Idiot!”
Oh my God
Sunghoon took a deep breath
“You can’t just get drunk at an important event! especially with loads of people around!” Sunghoon brought a hand to Riki’s cheek to hold up his head that had been dropping to the side, he couldn’t even keep his head up he was so drunk.
“Well why notttt” Riki pouted, speech slurring.
“Because you have to make good impressions here!” The other boy said.
Riki groaned and tried to spin his seat back to facing the bar, but Sunghoon stopped him half way through, spinning him right back again.
Riki rolled his eyes and dropped his head down in annoyance.
“Hyung!” Riki stretched out the word.
“We’re going, come on” Sunghoon said waving his hand at Riki signalling him to walk with him.
Riki groaned once again before stumbling of his seat almost falling in the process, luckily Sunghoon caught him, supporting him by grabbing his arms.
“Woah there, be careful.” Sunghoon smiled.
“Who’s careful and why should i be them?” Riki tilted his head and squinted, genuinely confused.
Sunghoon furrowed his eyebrows and looked around as if he were on a sitcom.
“Just- I- just don’t worry about it okay.” Sunghoon decided on saying.
Now walking with Riki attached to his side, attempting to find the exit, They will be going back to the hotel early, Sunghoon does not want to deal with a drunk maknae for another hour in public.
“But, But i want to know who they are.” Riki argued.
“Are they better at dancing than me?” Riki gasped looking up at Sunghoon.
Sunghoon shook his head, amused, “No no no, They are not don’t worry.”
Ni-ki nodded viciously and agreed
“Good, Definitely, no one is as good as me”
Sunghoon laughed, quickly going back to supporting Riki as he tripped over his own feet
This was going to be a long night.

Jake
Riki and Jake had gone live together in the HYBE Company, Riki has been way more talkative than usual, making more jokes.
It was funny really, and Engenes were loving it, finding it hilarious as well
“I hate those people that say things like ‘maturing is realizing that savory is better than sweet foods!’ like no it’s not?? Maturing is realizing that saying ‘maturing is realizing that savory is better than sweet foods!’ is fucking stupid! Live a little and go eat a lollipop no one wants your ‘kale chips’” Riki exclaimed in frustration as throwing his hands up not even noticing the slip up he made, swearing on camera
“Riki!” Jake panicked looking at the camera then back at Riki
“What?” Riki asked confused
“Don’t swear on camera!” Jake whisper shouted at Riki
“OH MY GOD. This one time when I was younger I went to a restaurant and pretended to be a waiter for a day and no one even noticed, I even got fired from it!” Riki blurted out randomly, completely forgetting about what had happened the second before
“Wait? what?” Jake asked him confused “How did you get fired”
“I threw a glass of wine at someone because they said i was a bad waiter, Like how does that even correlate!” He ranted before setting his head down on the table in front of him
“oh! Anyway” The australian quickly changed the subject “So, What did Engene think about the new album? We worked hard on it for you all”
Riki looked up quickly, looking quite distant in the eyes, and held his index finger up nodding while clearing his throat
“Yeeess” He slurred
Jake giggled at his behavior, reaching for the bottle of water next to Riki
“No that’s mine!” Riki tried to take it back off Jake
Jake took a sip of the water before Riki could take it away and immediately he was hot with a burning sensation down his throat and the foul taste of vodka
He choked on the liquor and set the bottle back down, squinting his eyes together.
Jake looked up at Riki shocked, and Riki looked back at him, they stared at each other for only a few seconds before Riki started manically laughing
Well that explains the whole personality change, He’s drunk.
After Jake realized what is going on, he reached to end the live despite the complaints of Riki
“Noo! Hyung why did you end the live” Riki pouted towards the older boy before throwing half his body weight onto Jake causing him to gasp in shock
“Riki, Oh my God you did not drink on a live” Jake said not wanting to believe it
“I mean I drank.. Water” He giggled into Jake’s shirt
“No you didn’t, that’s straight vodka. It’s like 10 am why are you drinking!” Jake replied to him
“for the funsies” Riki sat up again shaking his head at Jake like it was a obviously known thing
“i’m bored hyung! Wait! Do you want to hear about my conspiracy theory, the dinosaurs…” Riki started but didn’t finish, looking at Jake with a serious expression
“Listen to me closely okay.”
Jake nodded confused but intrigued at this so called ‘conspiracy theory’
“The dinosaurs. We’re. Never. Real. We’ve been lied to” Riki said leaning back into his chair and putting his hands on his head
Jake’s faced morphed into an expression of confusion and some worry that he actually thought that
“You’re joking right?” Jake asked
“Of course I am!! The dinosaurs are just still alive and we can’t see them anymore.” Riki laughed sliding down and falling out of the leather office chair
“Fucking God” Jake breathed out looking up and letting his eyes shut
Finally collecting himself he spoke again
“Come on Riki, Get up, Time to go home”
“We’re not home? where are we?” Riki looked up terrified at whatever his brain was saying he was
“No this is HYBE now get up aegi, Jays going to kill you for this” The older rolled his eyes and smiled.

Heeseung
Riki was rudely awoken by light beaming through the cracks of the curtains, immediately his head started pounding and his stomach felt heavy and nauseous.
Riki shortly realized he wasn’t in his own bedroom, but his Heeseung-hyungs. He looked around noticing an arm wrapped around his waist from behind and he felt Heeseung’s face buried in the crook of his neck.
He didn’t even remember how or when he got here? Last he remembered he was at a party with his members and a few other groups?
His thoughts were interrupted by his stomach churning violently making Riki’s mouth fill with acid, quickly he pushed the arm off him and pushed himself up, running to the bathroom down the hall.
He dropped down in front of the toilet and the nausea took control, Riki threw up into the toilet bowl making his head throb even more. His head began to spin and the nausea did not fade, drops of sweat started forming on his face mixing with the tears that had been pouring from his tired eyes.
That was when Riki felt a comforting hand rubbing on his back, calming him.
“Hey, hey, it’s okay, calm down. Hyungs here it’s okay” Riki identified the voice as Heeseung.
He leant into the touch, tears still falling and the sickness still lingering throughout his body
“shh, it’s okay, just breathe” Heeseung muttered quietly to Riki, making sure not to be so loud as to worsen the headache he assumed Riki would have.
Heeseung rested his hand on Riki’s forehead, testing his temperature,
jesus
he’s boiling.
Riki pushed his head further into his hyungs hand, the cool skin of Heeseung’s hand soothing the pain in his head
“H.. hyung” Riki managed to get out in between his desperate gasps for air
“There you go, You’re okay, are you done?” The older whispered
Riki just nodded weakly in response, leaning back into his hyung, feeling his arms around him holding him close
Heeseung ran a hand through Riki’s hair whispering soft words of comfort into his ears.
The hand gently massaging his scalp aided the migraine Riki was experiencing.
Shortly after heeseung raised his hand flushing the toilet before asking Riki
“You need some water don’t you? Can i get up to get you a glass for a minute?”
Riki whined “Don’t go”
“I know, i know, i’ll be right back i promise, i’ll be back in a second” Heeseung reassured before standing to get the hungover boy a glass of water
When he returned, Riki was curled into himself clutching his stomach. Heeseung knelt down next to him bringing the glass to Riki’s lips, encouraging him to drink from it
Slowly, Riki drank the water, leaving only half left in the glass. He started feeling slightly better, more awake, but still he felt like death personified.
“I, I feel so sick.. What happened?” Riki asked
Heeseung chuckled lightly at his confusion
“You drank a lot last night, I told you to not mix your drinks”
Riki didn’t even remember what happened last night, he’d never felt so hungover before
“I don’t remember”
Heeseung smiled, holding Riki close and rocking them back and forth softly
“I’m not surprised baby”
The youngest sulked, hiding his face in his hyungs chest, tugging Heeseung’s shirt, clinging closely to him
“Hyungg.. i’m tired.” Riki pouted up at Heeseung
“Okay, Let’s get you back to bed, Do you think you could get up?” Heeseung asked
Riki shook his head lightly, wrapping his arms around Heeseung’s shoulders, asking to be carried instead of having to stand up and walk to the room himself.
Heeseung laughed and tightened his arms around Riki’s waist, beginning to stand slowly, making sure that Riki was safe in his arms
Riki buried his face into his hyungs neck and was instantly calmed and soothed by the familiar and comforting scent of Heeseung.
He felt himself be carried through the hallway, hearing Heeseung twist the door handle open and stepping into his bedroom.
Heeseung set Riki down on his bed, covering him with his covers and blankets, pressing a kiss to his forehead before trying to walk away, leaving him to get some sleep.
He didn’t get far before his arms was grabbed by the younger
“Hyung, Stay” Riki whispered into the dark room
The corners of Heeseung’s lips turn up, smiling lovingly at the boy laying below him.
“Of course.” Heeseung replied, getting into the bed beside Riki, holding him close and running a hand through the boys hair
“You’re safe, Go to sleep”
Riki drifted off Heeseung’s arms.

Jungwon & Sunoo
“Riki, i said give me the bottle, listen to hyungs” Sunoo told Riki, who was sitting next to him, clutching a bottle of liquor to his chest like it was the most precious thing ever
“No.” Riki looked up and pouted stubbornly
Jungwon had already tried to pry it out of the youngest arms, but he instantly realized that wasn’t a good idea when Riki started screaming (well, more so a loud ‘aaah!’)
Jungwon’s head fell down onto the back of the couch, smiling and laughing quietly at Riki’s behavior and Sunoo’s failed attempts at retrieving the bottle
“Riki come on, this is silly.” Sunoo sighed
“I don’t think he’s going to give up Sun” Jungwon looked over at the older smiling
“mhm mhm” Riki grumbled in reply, shaking his head violently, caging the bottle between his chest and knees
Sunoo let out a soft laugh, dropping his head down in defeat and clicking his tongue in a mix of defeat and fondness for the cute boys antics.
Riki, still holding the bottle in his arms, glanced between his hyungs, his face morphing into a mischievous grin
“Fine,” Riki smiled, his voice laced with playfulness.
“If you want it, you have to catch me first!” And just like that, he was off the couch, running away with the bottle still trapped between his hands and body.
Jungwon’s eyes widened, and he bolted up, a competitive smirk plastered on his face
“Oh, it’s on aegi!” he chuckled, chasing after Riki with a burst of energy, running around the furniture like he was playing laser tag
Sunoo, still seated on the couch, shook his head with a chuckle. He was too tired to join in with this game, so he decided to play the strategist.
“Jungwon, corner him towards the kitchen!” he called out, directing the pursuit from his spot.
The open room became a fun battlefield, with Riki’s laughter merging with Jungwon’s shouts.
As the chase continued, Riki zigzagged through the obstacles (furniture) his alcohol clouded mind causing him to bump into a few pieces of furniture, gaining the attention of Sunoo who decided to try stop this game
“Yah! Riki be careful! Jungwon, let's stop now!” Sunoo decided to take charge as the oldest boy in the trio
“No!” Riki screamed “You can’t catch me hyungiess!” Riki taunted to the two olders
Despite Sunoo’s words, Jungwon was not about to give up now. “Oh yeah? We’ll see about that!”
Sunoo watched the scene unfold in front of him, watching in a mix of amusement and worry
The fact Riki had turned a simple request into a full on game of tag made Sunoo chuckle slightly
As Riki ran through the kitchen, he glanced back to find Jungwon closer than expected. With a sudden burst of energy, he sprinted towards Sunoo, craving his safety and hoping for him to protect him.
The liquor was still safe in his grasp. But as he ran across the tiled floor in socks, he realized too late that he was headed directly into the line of barstools next to the kitchen island
“Be careful , Riki!” Sunoo scolded, standing up from the couch.
Riki managed to avoid the seats, narrowly escaping a collision. The bottle, however, slipped from his hands and went flying across the room, landing with a soft thud on the couch where Sunoo had been sitting moments before.
“Noo!” Riki pouted and crossed his arms, stopping in his tracks.
“AHA! Got it!” Sunoo cheered in success of collecting the bottle safely
“We won Riki-sannn” Jungwon giggled, ruffling his hair jokingly
“Not Fair.” Riki started sulking before dropping onto the couch angrily
“Aww don’t be sad Ki, We’re just joking” Sunoo said before sitting next to the boy wrapping his arms around him
Riki just exhaled in annoyance and shut his eyes, accepting the hug from his Hyung
“I won. not you.” Riki pouted
“Whatever you say, baby”

Drunken Hyungs
“Hyung, What are you doing, Let go” Riki said to Sunghoon trying to fight him off
Sunghoon had Riki trapped in his arms, Sunghoon laying flat on the couch and Riki on top of him.
“Hey! Hoon! share with us! You can keep him for yourselfff!” Jay called across the room
The group had just got back to the dorm from their concert after party. The hyungs, for a change, quickly drowned themselves in the champagne and wine, leaving them drunk and clingy.
Riki had made the mature decision and chose to not drink tonight as the next day he had to be on ‘Eunchaes Star Diary’ and he’d rather not be hungover while having to film an entire episode of pure talking, his head would be killing him.
Eventually, after a few minutes of struggling, Riki managed to pry himself out of Sunghoons hold and stand up, much to the annoyance of Sunghoon
“Hey! noo come back don’t go!” Sunghoon whined
“No. you all need to go to bed.” Riki stated
“But we’re not even tired!” Jake retaliated
That gained noises of agreement from around the room.
“What Jake said!” Sunoo agreed before falling face first onto the beanbag in the corner, he’d tripped on Heeseung’s shoe
“Oh my Gods a ghost just pushed me” Sunoo looked up, mouth agape in shock
Riki sighed and put a hand on his forehead, He’s got to be fucking joking,
“No Sunoo you just tripped over Heeseung hyungs shoe” Riki breathed out
“oh” Sunoo muttered before dropping his head back into the beanbag
Riki looked over to Heeseung, who was sitting with Jungwon, or well no longer sitting, the two are fast asleep with their limbs intertwined together.
At least that’s 2 hyungs he won’t have to drag to bed tonight.
“Riki-san” a voiced called him whispering, like he was about to tell him a secret
it was Jake
“Did you know that..-th..ga..and.-jay.su-yeah you know” Jake slurred out, words not making any sense at all
Riki looked around to see if anyone had understood a word that came out of Jake’s mouth but no one was focusing, Riki decided to just entertain the idea, perhaps it would make it easier to get him to bed
“Oh yeah, yeah, that’s crazy isn’t it?” Riki replied to Jake in fake shock “If you get up and follow me, you can tell me about how it happened and everything!”
Jake’s face lit up at the invitation and immediately he got up, noises coming out of his mouth, to Jake, they must of been words, but to Riki? Riddlish.
Riki just nods along with Jake and supports him while walking him to his bedroom
“Yeah that’s insane, now just lay down okay?” He tells the australian boy who was still deep into his one sided conversation about Gods knows what
With Jake still talking, Riki managed to get him into his bed and into something more comfy, a new hoodie and some random sweatpants from the floor.
Jake still was not sounding like he was about to stop talking.
“Hyung if you don’t go to sleep right now, i’ll throw away the toy you bought for Layla yesterday.” Riki falsely threatened causing Jake to gasp and immediately close his eyes and go silent
“I’m sleeping.” Jake said
Riki muttered swears under his breath before walking out the room, switching the light off as he left.
Right.
Time to get Sunghoon to bed. This was going to be difficult.
When Riki made his way back into the living room he heard Jay shushing everyone and muttering things like ‘he’s here!’ and ‘quiet!’
Suspiciously tilting his head he got closer to the extremely guilty looking hyungs.
“What’s going on?”
Sunghoon, Jay and Sunoo looked at each other in silent conversation, their eyes glazed in intoxication
“Jay says you’re going to take Sunghoon away!” Sunoo shouts, making Jay playfully hitting Sunoo
“Shh! i said be quiet!!” Jay pouted and placed a finger over his lips
Sunghoon, however, looked half asleep already, wasn’t he just awake?
Riki pushed his thought away and walked over to him
“Hey, get up” He said to Sunghoon quietly
Sunghoons eyes burst open, looking up at Riki in confusion
“W-what?” Sunghoon stuttered
“Bedtime hyung.”
Sunghoon nodded and tried to get up, instead he ended up rolling of the couch onto the floor
“Oh my God” Riki laughed
He reached down and grabbed Hoons arms, pulling him up and supporting him with an arm around his shoulders
“See! I told you Sun!! Riki is stealing Sunghoon!” Jay pointed at the two, practically bouncing in his seat
Ignoring the whispers of Sunoo and Jay, Riki lead Sunghoon to his bedroom.
“Here you go, Bed. Now.” Riki ordered Sunghoon
Sunghoon flopped down onto his bed, curling in on himself and hugging his pillow.
“Goodnight Hyungie” Riki whispered before leaving the room.
2 down, 2 to go.
“Jay! Bed-“ Rikis sentence was cut off when he realized Jay was missing
He spun around, scanning the room in search of Jay
“Ugh, Sun? Where did Jay go?” He asked the older boy
“He went to see Jake” Sunoo replied, not looking at Riki, he was too focused on drawing in the air
He went to see Jake? He better not have woken him up.
Sighing in annoyance he went to check on Jake.
He opened the door slightly and was met with the heartwarming image of Jake and Jay cuddling together, completely knocked out.
Riki sighed, but this time in relief.
Pulling his phone out of his pocket, he took a few pictures, saving them for the next time he needed some blackmail.
After watching the two sleep peacefully for a few minutes, Riki closed the bedroom door as silently as he could, and tip-toed away, careful to not make a loud noise and wake them up.
When he entered the lounge again he was greeted by Sunoo sulking
“You left meee” Sunoo whined looking at Riki with his arms crossed
“Well i’m back now okay? Come on let’s go to bed” He smiled at the other
“No. come here” Sunoo argued
“Hyung, please, don’t make this harder than it already is”
“Pleaseee Riki-san, sit with me” Sunoo reached out trying to grab Riki
Groaning, Riki went to sit with Sunoo.
Sunoo immediately pulled Riki into his arms hugging him tightly
Riki let out a sigh, his resistance melting away under Sunoo
“Okay fine” he gave in, a small smile forming on his lips as he settled into Sunoos side
Sunoo beamed, the sulkiness vanishing like it had never been there.
“See? This is much better,” he murmured, letting his eyes flutter closed. The warmth between them was comforting, a sweet silence coating the room.
Riki couldn’t help but relax, the stress he had been feeling moments before fading away into nothingness. He wrapped an arm around Sunoo.
“You’re an annoying drunk” he teased Sunoo
Sunoo chuckled, “Nuh uhhh” He slurred
The gentle rise and fall of their chests in sync was enough.
All his hyungs settled down now, ready to sleep, the beautiful day fading into a flawless night.
