Nari's POV

After school ended, I stood up stretching my arms in the air. I might be 19 year old but I have the body of a 91 year old.

" Are you guys going for Freshman Union? " Yido asked and the both of us nodded.

He crossed his arms, " I don't know if I should. I heard senior girls hit on freshman guys too. " Saena eyed him up and down.

" No offence, I love you as a friend but you shouldn't be bothered by that. " Yido glared at her and I chuckled.

" Fine, since you guys want me there so badly. I shall go. " He said and we scoffed.

" I'm sorry, but when did we want you to go so badly? " Saena asked and I burst into laughter while Yido glared at the both of us.

He sneered, " I thought we are friends. " I shrugged.

We went over to the venue where the Freshman Union is held at. Apparently this year is pretty luxurious, seems fun.

When we got there, there were a lot of people there already. " I think that girl is checking me out. " Yido said.

" Yeah, that's what you think. " Saena replied.

He scoffed, " Should we sit there? " I asked and the both of them nodded. We walked over to an empty table and just sat there.

Suddenly, a group of guys came over with a drink in their hand. " You guys are freshman right? Nice to meet you guys, I'm Hanwoo. " I sneaked a laugh.

I smiled slightly, " Nice to meet you. " Saena on the other hand is dying of laughter as she hid her face and Yido is just, he's never on the same page as us.

" Want a drink? " I shook my head.

Hanwoo attempted to force me but he gave up.

Gradually, more people come and that's when the party officially starts. Loud music is playing and people are just dancing around.

We started playing a drinking game.

When it's my turn, I literally just copied what the previous person said but tweaked it a little based on what I heard. " Nari! Drink up! " I was rather hesitant.

I eyed Yido and Saena who didn't know what they should do either. " Hey! Hey! We're just freshman, let's just skip her turn shall we? " Yido asked and everyone boo-ed him.

I gulped and was about to pick up the jug of alcohol when we heard squeals from behind. I was about to turn around when an arm stretched out from behind me and he took my jug from me.

I turned around to see Lucas chugging the jug of alcohol down. He slammed the jug on the table while glaring at the other seniors, " Oh! Lucas, you're here. Are you here to pick up some girls? " Everyone teased him.

Lucas scoffed, " I don't do that kind of shit. "

He eyed them, " I better not see you mistreat anyone. I told you once and I'm going to repeat myself for the last time, do not ever make anyone uncomfortable with your disgusting acts. " The seniors there looked scared of him.

Lucas eyed me, " Who did you come with? "

I point at Yido and Saena. " The three of you, come out with me. It's not safe here. " Before we could react, he turned away and walked out.

The three of us stared at each other before walking out behind him. " Who's that? " Yido asked.

" Just a friend. " I replied.

Saena scoffed, " Just a friend? Sure. " She said sarcastically and I smacked her arm as she groaned in pain.

Lucas stopped walking and I bumped into his back. He turned around to face the three of us, " Did any of you drink just now? " We shook our heads.

" Don't even think about drinking with them. " He combed his fingers through his hair.

" Wait, why were you here? " I asked and he became flustered. His cheeks started flushing as he looked around while biting his lips.

His eyes widened, " Oh, Mark told me about it. He wanted me to make sure you guys are safe. " I blushed when I heard Mark's name.

" But you drank. Are you okay? " Yido asked him and he nodded.

Saena nudged me as she whispered to me, " You should bring him home. It's unsafe for him to go home alone. " I nodded

Saena eyed Yido, " Let's go dodo. " She interlocked their arms together as she dragged him away.

I looked over at Lucas, " You can go home. I'm really fine. " I scoffed as I placed my hand over his waist, trying to make sure he doesn't tumble and fall.

" I might not know you for very long but I am one of the best friend you'd ever meet. " I said with a smile and he simply scoffed.

We walked over to the bus stop, " Where do you live? " I asked.

He covered his face with his hand, " What do you want to do? " I blushed as my eyes widened.

" W-What? I just wanted to bring you home safely! " He started giggling, which honestly doesn't fit his appearance.

I sighed as I picked up my phone and called Mark. Pretty sure Mark knows where he stay, " Do you know where Lucas stay? " I asked.

" Oh, Lucas? You're at Gangnam right? Just take 843 down to the last stop, that's his house. " I thanked him before hanging up.

We waited for bus 843 and I made him sit beside me. Suddenly, I felt a heavy weight on my shoulder and I turned my head to see Lucas laying on my shoulder.

I blinked a few times as I pursed my lips. To think that I broke his arm, " Stop staring at me. " He suddenly lift his head and stared at me groggily before falling back down onto my shoulder.

" The bus is here. " I wanted to drag him up onto the bus but he kept holding onto the side of the seat, unwilling to leave.

I had to apologise to the bus driver because there's an overgrown toddler here. Lucas grabbed onto my sleeve, pulling me down onto the seat.

" Lee Nari, what do I do? " I raised my brows.

" I think I like someone. "
