#stayed up till 2am and 3am on fri and sat

[kameyyy]

How I looked at my dad while I was sitting at the table to eat dinner, drinking my 2nd cup of milk waiting for my sandwich toast at 10:30pm and he asks me when I have to wake up tomorrow for school (at 6am) and he just silently turns around and walks away

Description: What better time to live and discover than now?

---

Youth.

The most confusing yet thrilling time of your lives. It's that time where you're neither here nor there. You're too big for the children clothes but too small for the adult ones. It's the time when you try to do adult things and get away with it. It's that time where everyone starts to ask you what you want to be in future, what are your plans for marriage and university when you can't even decide what you want to eat for breakfast. It's the time when you resent the world for the littlest of troubles, feeling like it owns you something.

And to Jae: what better time than now to live life to the fullest even with all this hatred against the world?

So this is how you ended up in the passenger seat in Jae's truck, embarking on a road trip to God-knows-where.

"ARE YOU READY FOR IT Y/N?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

"Let's get it!"

Jae then raved the engine before taking off towards the highway at high-speed

 12am;

On the way to the highway, the music from the pubs and clubs surrounding the both of you competed with the music coming from Jae's stereo, his head bobbing wildly to the beat. You couldn't stop the infectious fun from affecting you too, and you bobbed your head to the music as well, although less violently than Jae. When the light turned green, Jae sped off and the orange tunnel was 500 metres away. Anticipation built inside of you as both of you approached the tunnel; you especially loved the part when you whoosed into the tunnel, and in that instant everything hollowed out around you. That moment came as soon as you thought of it, and you let of a howl of joy when it happened.

Over the roar of the tunnel, Jae yelled something out.

"Get up!"

"What?"

"I said get up!"

He then tapped the glass hatch above both of you before sliding it open. You finally understood what he meant but you were a little afraid to stand out on top. What if you got blown off the truck? Jae clearly saw your hesitation and placing his hand on the small of the back, he pushed upwards and when the first blast of air hit your face, it felt like you were born again. It was scary at first, but slowly, as you got used to the cold air whipping at your face, you spread your arms out like wings and let out a yelp of joy, feeling the pure excitement vibrating deep within your bones.

Life’s a little like that isn’t it? Everything is a little scary at first, but once you learn how to enjoy it, it becomes the best ride of your lives.

 1am;

Jae then pulled up outside a 24 hour pizza joint and quickly ordered smoothies and pepperoni pizza for the both of you.

“How was the ride just now?”

“Absolutely thrilling, though I thought I was about to die.”

“Relax girl! You’re fine now!” Jae then shot you a wink, to which your response was rolled eyes. When the food came, both of you tucked in heartily and Jae was literally stuffing his face full with pepperoni and chocolate milkshake. You laughed at the sight – Jae looked like a literal hamster now. All was good until Jae decided to steal your cheese fries from under your nose – and no one ever stole your babies.

“JAE!” Without hesitation, you launched a pepperoni across the table, landing squarely on his glasses. Jae shot you a look from beneath his glasses and in a slow, low tone, he announced:

“This means war Y/N.”

“Fight me.”

And so he did. For the next few minutes, both of you had a food fight, throwing fries, pizza and sauces, despite the disapproving looks from the few lone customers in the place. You swore you saw someone taking a photo of the both of you, that is probably going onto some gossip site with the headline “PESKY TEENAGERS” but honestly both of you could care less. Both of you were in a fit of giggles, too focused on getting the other to admit defeat. Finally, Jae raised the white tissue and you sat there with a smug smile on your face, basking in the glory of your small victory.

Such was life – you have every right to celebrate the victories no matter how small, even the nonsensical, crazy ones.

 2am;

Once both of you had managed to calm down from the food fight, Jae had magically materialised some mixtapes and was like an eager puppy for you to hear them.

“Quick, quick put them in!”

“Alright Jae I’m getting there!”

Nodding at him once the headphones were slotted comfortably around your ears, he punched the play button and listened to Jae’s honey voice float out from the little mp3 player he had. As always, Jae had you floored. He sang effortlessly about the stage and music, asking the crowds to never forget him even years down the road.

“Don’t ever forget me,

Cherish me so that you can feel me,

Call me,

Remember me,

So that I can be forever.”

To someone that didn’t know Jae, he might seem like a self-obsessed man that simply wants the fame and undying attention that comes from adoring fans.

But you knew better. You knew what Jae was really trying to say. He was asking the crowd to enjoy the music together, a silent promise that he will stay with them forever, and continue to repay them with good music each day.

To understand someone, you simply have to find the language they speak and understand that.

“That was breathtakingly beautiful Jae, your fans would be happy to have you.”

 3am;

“Where to next Jae?”

“It’s a secret.”

“Oh come on! You know I can’t stand the suspense!”

“Nope. Not telling. Just sit back and relax, I promise fun and non-stop cuteness.”

“Wait did you just say cuteness?”

“You bet a million dollars I just did.”

You spent the whole ride coming up for theories and launching them at Jae, your never-ending endeavour in hopes of getting him to reveal the answer. Jae simply smiled in disbelief at your perseverance, but his lips were kept firmly shut. (though not in a literal sense)

“Ok we’re here now.”

“A dark alley? What are you trying to do, get away with murdering your best friend?”

“Geez no! Just step out and you’ll see what I mean.”

Leaving his headlights on, he stepped out and you decided to follow, afraid of being left alone in the dark. The moment you got out, you were asaualted by kittens. Heaps and heaps and heaps of kitten. Kitten of all shapes and fur coats lined the entire alley and you had to clap your hands over your mouth to prevent your squealing from reaching the rest of the sleeping neighbourhood. In hushed tone, you screamed to Jae.

“THIS IS GREAT OH MY GOSH I LOVE YOU THANK YOUUU!” You nearly pushed Jae off his feet when you jumped into his arms to give him a bone-crushing hug. When you bolted off to play with the kittens, Jae was left dumbfounded, his heart thumping wildly in his chest, his cheeks bright red. You however, were too engrossed with playing with the kittens that you failed to notice the boy’s bright cheeks.

For the next hour, Jae became your personal photographer, capturing photos and candids of you as you befriended as many kittens as you could, the graffiti filled walls serving as a nice backdrop. You even asked to take photos with the occasional dog that strayed past and Jae loved watching as happiness radiated off your face.

After all, people capture shots of those they fear losing the most.

 4am;

“Are we finally getting a break now?”

“You can say so… though not quite what I had in mind.”

You raised your brows at the paradox – how can something be yet not be?

You found yourself standing atop of a hill with a big willow tree right in the middle. Clear stars shine overhead, the night blue skies making them seem even brighter.

“May I have this dance?”

“Hmm?” Turning to face Jae, you found his hand extended towards you as slow jazz music played from his CD player. Placing your hands gently in his, you let Jae draw you into his arms as he swayed the both of you gently to the beat.

“This feels like some scene from a Disney movie.”

“It does. Except that I’m no princess.”

“We can be the prince and princess just for tonight.”

“Alright.”

Jae was an absolute gentlemen, although he doesn’t look the part in his oversized jeans and sweater and battered sneakers. That night both of you danced till your legs ached, the echoes of your laughter rolling down the hill as Jae soaked up every bit of it. He wished he could store your laughter forever; such a pure sound warming up his heart.

It’s these simple little things that make life worth living for.

 5am;

After that little dancing session, Jae promised some rest and drove both of you down to the beach where both of you sat at the back of his truck.

“Tadah~!” Jae whipped out a carton of beer and held them up high, looking at a proud kid that had just shown his mother his first drawing in school. However, you were unimpressed.

“Really Jae, beer at 5am in the morning?”

“Treat it as an early morning breakfast.”

“This is hardly nutritious.”

“No matter, cheers!”

Despite your initial disapproval, you clinked your can against his, sipping on the bitter but later on sweet beverage.

“You’ve got a beer moustache haha.”

Swapping the pad of his thumb across your upper lip, Jae got rid of it, leaving you wide-eyed in the aftermath of it. Sure, he was your best friend, but he had never dared do this sort of things with you. Why the sudden change of heart? You continued to stare at Jae as he plucked the strings to Maroon 5 “Sunday Morning”, his velvet voice warming up your heart. After a few more sips of the beer, the alcohol buzzing in you happily, you shouted out the lyrics as Jae strummed his guitar next to you. You didn’t care if you woke up the whole world – you just did as you wished, taking another chug of your beer.

Sometimes, you just got to forget the rules and live life a little on the wild side.

 6am;

Tired from the impromptu singing session, you lay your head on Jae’s shoulder, listening to his steady breathing and the gentle waves lapping against the shore. Slowly, the sun rises from the horizon and both of you watch in awe as the golden lights spreads over the landscape, gently waking up the world. That’s what you love so much about the sunrise – they teach you that each day is a new beginning, a new day to make a new change in your life. However you like, whenever you like it.

And it seems like Jae was thinking the same thing.

“Y/N…”

You looked up and found Jae looking at your lips with an unreadable expression on his face.

“Yes?”

“I’m…” He swallowed thickly, and you dared him to kiss you with your eyes.

“I’m going to do something really reckless Y/N forgive me.”

Placing a hand on your cheek, Jae locked lips with you, staying still then moving them slowly, taking his time. You felt it all at once, the thrill of this all. Here was young, reckless Jae kissing you senseless and you let yourself be carried by him, doing your best to remember all these experiences forever. After all, isn’t this what youth is all about?

It's that time when you try to figure who you want to be in this confusing world when everyone tells you what you should be.

50 Late Night Bars In London For Staying Out After 12am

When you fancy “one for the road” after last orders at the pub, these late night bars in London might just be the ticket. And with the arrival of the Night Tube, the drinks are still flowing in these speakeasys, pubs and cocktail bars, most of which are all open until at least 2am.

So if you’re looking for bars that are open late in London, here’s our guide to where to find somewhere in the small wee hours.

Soho | Covent Garden | Chinatown | Shoreditch | Liverpool Street | Old Street | The City | Clerkenwell | Dalston | Stepney | Canary Wharf | Kings Cross | Islington | Stoke Newington | Tufnell Park | Brixton | Camberwell | Tooting | Clapham | Crystal Palace| Waterloo | Mayfair | Chelsea

Central London

1. Jerusalem, Soho

A staple of the Soho scene for nearly 20 years, head down the steep stairs into this relaxed basement bar for a chilled-out end to the evening. While there is plenty of distressed seating to rest your legs – there’s also room for dancing and trying out their great cocktail list.

2. Cafe Boheme *closed until Spring 2018*

This traditional French cafe is one of London’s prettiest late night venues, and one that has outlasted plenty of rivals over its 20 years in Old Compton Street. The French wine list is extensive, but they also do plenty of cocktails. The beer and cider are reasonably priced too. There’s a lovely late night menu, so you can tuck into French classics like a Croque Monsieur or steak frites instead of a kebab.

Hours: Mon-fri: 8am to 3am, Sat: 9am to 3am, Sun: 9am to midnight Getting there: 13 Old Compton Street, W1 Website and Twitter

If you want to end the evening on a sweet note, head underground into Soho’s first permanent pudding bar. You can just go straight for a dessert or pair it with a cocktail. The lighting is dark and moody and they have DJs spinning tunes on a Friday and Saturday night.

Hours: Sun-Mon: 6pm to midnight, Tue-Sat: 6pm to 1.30am Getting there: 8 Broadwick Street W1F 8HN Website and Twitter

50. Vingt Quatre

This 24-hour-diner which also serves drinks is on the Fulham Road. You can get fed and watered at any time of day here and the ambience is very relaxed, with the lights dimming as it gets later. They’ve also opened a venue in Bloomsbury as well if you don’t fancy heading west.
