Chapter 7

My phone was buzzing. I open my eyes but closed it again when I feel my head throbbing.

Alas, the damn phone wouldn't stop ringing. I got up and feel for my phone on the nightstand with my eyes still shut.

"Yah! Kim Dae Eun! Get your lazy bum off the bed and wash up. The room smells because of you."

Is that Bo Gyo?

"Don't you dare go back to sleep!" Bo Gyo warns when I cover myself with my sheets.

"I drank that much?" I exclaimed only to cover my mouth when I saw people were looking. "Heol!"

Bo Gyo just told me that after our exams yesterday, I asked her and Sun Shin to go to a noraebang to shake off some stress. This I can remember. But going to a bar and drinking lots of soju and somaek and even dancing on the dance floor for hours, that part I can't recall.

Lights flashes in my mind's eye, but I can't recall any more than that.

"You and Sun Shin were running wild," Bo Gyo said with her lips pursed. She looked exasperated. "Did you know I have to run back and forth to keep you two in one place so I could hail a cab? I had to hold back from drinking because we can't go back to the dorm if one of us is not sober enough."

"Oh that's what upsets you?" I laugh at Bo Gyo and she only rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Sun Shin almost puked on me. And you almost fell down on the curb." Bo Gyo kept on massaging her temple all the while she was talking.

"Aw. Forgive us, our dear Bo Gyo!" I pouted, rubbing my hands in prayer and giving her bows. She only rolls her eyes.

We met up with Sun Shin and all of our year group in our department's function hall after we, the freshmen, were summoned by our seniors.

"What's the meeting about?" Sun Shin asks as we take our seats.

We all jumped when Park Jimin, our pink headed classmate suddenly screamed, "The festival!"

"Aish! You're gonna give us a heart attack!" Sun Shin tells him off.

"He's always doing that!" I point out.

That reminds me, Seok Jin sunbae is the representative of his year group. So there's a huge chance that he'll be attending the meeting today. I suddenly regret drinking too much for now I feel like I'm going to be sick.

Soon, each year's representative enter the room. I busied myself by doodling lines on the notebook that I took out of my bag.

"Kim Dae Eun." Bo gyo nudges me in a whisper. "Did something happen yesterday?"

Why is she asking me such a question and also so out of the blue?

"Nothing," I replied instantaneously and Bo Gyo wasn't buying it. She gives me a look of incredulity.

"If you don't wish to talk about it," She states and then shrugs.

I finally had the confidence to look up. To my surprise, Seok Jin sunbae was nowhere to be found. Maybe that's why Bo Gyo thinks something did happen.

"Kim Dae Eun!" Someone whisper-yells my name. I look behind me to see Kim Shin Ri. "Is it true?"

"What is?" I have no clue what she's talking about.

At this, Sun shin who was seated on my right turns around to listen to her as well.

"That you're going out with Seok Jin sunbae." She grins in delight as if this piece of news was a good one. "Everybody's talking about it. So, is it true?"
