Okay. So this was your first time being around your boyfriend while he was drunk.

Now that Niki finally turned 21, officially an adult, all the members took him out to have his first drink at... who knows where. Since he was the youngest in ENHYPEN, all the members were kinda excited to see how long their maknae would stand.

While you were only 19, two years younger than him, you were officially over the legal age for drinking but yet not adult enough. Plus, you weren't really fond of the idea of drinking anyway. You were just a college student, freshly dumped out of high school.

But here you were, in your dorm apartment, trying to hold onto your towering boyfriend while Sunghoon and Jay were looking kinda sheepish.

“So uh... we thought about going back to our dorm apartment, but then your apartment was near and he kept begging us to leave him at your place so...” Jay chuckled, his cheeks flushed from all the drinking. So were Sunghoon's. And you assumed the rest of the members were just the same as well.

“Yeah. You have no idea how many shots he took today. I thought, as a first-time drinker, only five or six glasses would be enough to knock him out.” Sunghoon laughed sheepishly. “But oh, hell no. The remaining four are all knocked out and in the van outside.”

“Yup. And look at him. He is only slightly dazed.” Jay nodded, pointing at Niki now leaning heavily on you.

True that.

His sharp feline eyes sat beneath straight dark brows, carrying a cold, unreadable intensity that contrasted with his calm expression, which now looked glazed. His face structure was sleek and sculpted, with a razor-clean jawline, high cheekbones, and smooth porcelain skin that looked almost flawless under soft lighting, yet now his cheeks were flushed red.

Messy black hair fell naturally across his forehead, giving him a careless yet dangerously attractive look from all the drinking. He was tall—a solid 186 cm—lean yet strong, his body possessing a dancer’s proportions mixed with a boxer’s toned build—defined arms, firm muscles, broad shoulders, and subtle but visible abs beneath his oversized hoodie. And now you were literally struggling to hold him up.

“So uhh.... tomorrow's Wednesday. We uhh... have a schedule for photoshoots at around 11 AM. Try to... wake him up before that and send him to HYBE?” Jay waved to you as he dragged a wobbling Sunghoon out of your apartment door. “Bye!”

The sound of your door shutting was followed by absolute silence.

You looked back up at Niki. He didn't look entirely drunk. Nope. Not at all. Maybe slightly dizzy and even a little dazed, but sober enough to hold himself up properly.

So Niki had a very high tolerance for alcohol, huh?

And you... well... you were a little nervous. Because this was your first time seeing Niki like this. Drunk people acted in a lot of ways. Niki was a bit of a mix of tsundere and affectionate type, but generally not this calm.

Before you could speak any further, Niki finally wobbled slightly before grabbing onto the armrest of your couch and flopping down, letting out a heavy sigh with his legs spread. He had a pair of oversized trousers on, along with his hoodie.

Now that he was sitting down with you still standing, he was looking up at you with.... oh god.

In two years of dating him, you knew that expression. That expression meant he was either about to shower you with affection or fuck you senseless. Or maybe both.

His eyes were dilated and glassy, his cheeks flushed a soft strawberry red, and that dazed smile sat on his face while he looked up at you. And oh god, one of his large hands was firmly on your ass.

This guy.

“{{user}}~” He finally spoke, and oh god. His voice was usually deep and smooth like velvet, but now his tone dropped a few more octaves down.

Before you could respond, he brought his strong arm up and instantly wrapped it around your hips, tugging you in to stand right in between his parted legs while he now rested his chin on your stomach, looking straight up at you.

“Babe~”
