8. she sighed

Sykkuno, Corpse, Toast had decided on yet another drinking game while Rae was wanting to play a normal poker game. She wasn't a fan of drinking because it just wasn't her thing to do.

It was another thing that alcohol only made her more sleepy and more truthful.

'No, I mean why!' She said, pouting as she held Bimbus on her lap, hugging the cute little thing. 'Why do we have to drink, Bimbus?' She asked him and he let out a small bark.

'He's saying that it's all for the fun, Rae.' Sykkuno translated and Toast raised his brows, passing the shot glasses around.

Although James initially said he wanted to join in, he got a conference call from work for which he excused himself and worked all night in his room. Rae was the happiest to not have that brooding man around.

'Oh Sykkuno. I am going to beat you one day.' Rae said, sounding drunk but she wasn't even tipsy.

Corpse chuckled, 'With a stick, Rae?' He asked, as Toast poured vodka for all of them.

'With a stick!' She yelled back and Sykkuno laughed, petting Bimbus who was cozily laying in Rae's lap.

Their fun and banters went on until 3 in the morning and their screaming made Sykkuno's neighbors to drop a call and warn them about calling the police.

'I think we need to call it a night guys.' Sykkuno said, as he held the poker cards. 'Corpse needs to leave early and Toast and Rae, we need to help with the actual dinner party tomorrow.'

'No. Just cancel tomorrow's party, Sykkuno.' Rae said, shaking her head. 'Who's going to prepare for ten guests with a hangover.'

'Do it, Sykkuno.' Toast added, smiling, 'Text them to not come tomorrow.'

'Wait? Really?' Sykkuno asked, confused. 'Are we really not hosting a party tomorrow? They'll feel so bad.'

The three amigops looked at their fourth friend and immediately burst out laughing. Rae hiccuped twice as she laughed while Toast held his heavy head.

'They're kidding, Syk.' Corpse said, chuckling. 'And Rae, enough alcohol for you.'

'But I am even, haven't even, started yet.' Rae said and hiccuped again.

'Alright.' Toast stood up, 'It's a wrap. I'll help Rae, why don't you two wrap up.'

Toast helped Rae up and they walked to the roommate's room. Toast and the boys were sleeping out in the hall, Sykkuno's brother James would sleep in the single bed in his room and Rae was bunking in the empty roomie's bed.

They all bid their goodbyes and dozed off, especially Toast and Corpse who had a long day. But Rae felt thirsty before she could lay down and groaned while she moved towards the kitchen to help herself with a glass of water.

While she walked past Sykkuno's room, which had light emitting from within, she heard faint familiar voices.

'I am sorry, J, if we or our loud voices disturbed your work.'

Rae shook her head. Sykkuno was too polite and sweet. And who even works past midnight, and that too on a Friday night!

'It did.' She heard the cold voice of James. 'But, I guess, I could bear it for the weekend.'

The audacity.

What does he mean by that?

If Rae wasn't drunk and tired, she'd barge in and give a piece of advice to this brooding guy, but she was really done for the day.

'Thanks J.' Sykkuno sweetly said, clearly unaffected by the cold demeanor of his twin which baffled Rae all the more. 'They're all really nice, once you know them.' He then added, and Rae smiled.

Sykkuno was literally the only one Rae could trust blindfolded.

Except of course in the game where he kills her.

'Yea. Maybe.' James said, no amusement in his cold voice. 'They're too loud for me though. And weird.' Rae held her breath, waiting for him to explain himself. 'Especially the egg girl.'

How. Dare. He. Call. Her. Egg. Girl.

'Weird?' Sykkuno's hesitant voice was heard.

Question him on the egg girl, Sykkuno!

'Yes. I mean, they call you Sykkuno. There's two men out there with names as ridiculous as Toast and Corpse.' James chuckled, mockingly. 'It's weird that you all go by your gaming names when you all have actual names.'

Rae rolled her eyes. This guy wasn't even worth her anger. He was an insolent little asshole.

'That's our identity, J.' Sykkuno said, a little more determined now. 'We love these names. We built them from scratch you know. And the egg girl is Rae, James. She's the most genuine girl out there.'

Aww. Sykkuno did defend her egg girl nickname.

'I never understood your gaming world, T. And I never want to.'

Rae furiously left towards the kitchen. She didn't wanna eavesdrop further and actually kill the man. She poured herself a glass of water and chugged it down rather hastily.

Just because he didn't understand their gaming world, he had no right to judge them.

What a stupid man.

She hated him.

He was bitter, mean and proud guy who lived in his own sweet world and looked down on others.

Egg girl?

He was... he was..., Rae thought, glancing across the kitchen, thinking about the one thing she truly hated. Then her eyes glanced across the vegetable she hated.

Onions.

He truly was like onions.

Bitter. Mean. Made everyone cry.

'Hey Rae?' Sykkuno snapped her out of her angry thoughts and smiled at her. 'You need something?'

'Apparently, I need eggs.' She said, unable to hold back her temper.

Sykkuno furrowed his brows. 'Eggs? At such an ungodly hour, Rae? You'll upset your stomach.' He asked, in concern as he stood in front of her.

'Sykkuno!' She yelled and he gulped.

'Well, okay. I can give you some eggs.'

'No Sykkuno.' She took a deep breath, shutting her eyes. 'I need eggs because according to someone, I'm an egg girl.'

Sykkuno looked at Rae funnily, but then it hit him why she sounded familiar. He bit his lip and looked at how furious she was right now.

'You heard it?'

Rae looked at Sykkuno, not with anger but with a exhausted sigh. It's not fair on Sykkuno to bear her anger and it wouldn't be fair on herself to be around such a man without killing him.

'I am leaving tomorrow with Corpse.'
