"Mama? Papa?" Jeongsan woke up already in his room. He stood up and looked outside. "Thank you, Youngjae. Just tell me updates about her." He saw Jungkook, "Papa, I thought we are visiting Nana?" Jungkook approached him. "We are, but it's been a long day. Maybe next time, during day off?" Jungkook caressed his cheek. Jeongsan looked down. "I've never seen her for so long." Jungkook rubbed his head. "You will see her, papa promise you that. Do you want to eat?" Jeongsan shook his head. "I don't feel hungry papa, I just woke up because I thought we are going. But I'm still sleepy." He frowned. "Go back to sleep, let's go." Jungkook brought him back to his room and let him sleep. Dahyun let him stay with Jeongsan and she stayed in the living room still thinking. "Yeontan." She called the dog, "Here, come with me." She picked him up and put him on her lap. "I promise to bring you to the veterinarian so they could check how you are, hmm?" She rubbed his fur. "Do you like your name?"

She was busy paying attention to the dog when she noticed someone placed a can of beer on the table in front of her. "I don't—" She looked up and see Jungkook. "You don't drink?" He asked, Dahyun shook her head. "Oh, sorry." He sips the beer. "Are you keeping that dog?" Dahyun nodded. "That's what Jeongsan wants but don't worry, I will take care of him..."

"It's not a problem for me, you and Jeongsan could keep it." Dahyun rubbed the back of her neck. "Thank you, Mr. Jeon." Jungkook just nodded. Dahyun looked at the beer on the table, Yeontan jumped off her lap and she took the can. Jungkook looked at her. "I thought you don't—" Dahyun opened and drank it. She felt like throwing up but swallowed the beer. She remembered the taste of that bitter drink, she suddenly remembered what happened 5 years ago. "Are you okay?" Jungkook asked and she chuckled, he got confused why she chuckled. Was she tipsy already after one sip? He thought. She once again took another sip that made Jungkook regret offering her the drink, he should've drank it after finishing his, he thought again. Dahyun gripped the can on her hand after finishing it in one shot. "You're turning red, you have low tolerance in alcohol. Are you okay?" Dahyun shook her head. "I mean, yeah. I'm fine." She burped. "Oh, sorry." She covered her lips. "I don't know, I just... Can I call that nostalgic? Yeah, maybe. The last time I drank was the night..." She paused while looking at the can of beer. "The night it happened," Jungkook doesn't know what she's talking about. "Jeez, I don't really like bars and alcoholic drinks. I can't stand the smell and taste but I just felt wasted, people would say they can forget their problems if they drink." She laughed. "That's crazy, I don't believe them but I still did and hope that maybe after drinking, I could forget everything." Jungkook just looked at her, she already look drunk.

"I'm not drunk, Mr. Jeon." She shook her head. "I feel dizzy." She blinked her eyes. Jungkook remembered this side of Dahyun, she's really like that when she had a drink. He wonder what really is her personality, he somehow likes seeing her that way, who talks and say things straight forward. Jungkook let her talk and he listens to her. "Remember that I put my phone in the glass then you came anf drank it??? That was disgusting, really Mr. Jeon. How was the mix taste of beer and phone that time?" Dahyun and Jungkook laughed. "Good, really good. Taste of anger, more bitter." Jungkook chuckled. Dahyun wiped her tears from crying because of laughing so hard. "I clearly remember that." Dahyun sniffed. "Ugh, it's hot." She fans herself. "Do you want to go to bed now?" Dahyun looked at him, she nodded.





"You know what you're doing?" Jungkook asked Dahyun when they entered his room. "Is this a dream?" She asked him back. "No." He replied, Dahyun suddenly touched his lips. "You're really handsome, Mr. Jeon." Jungkook just stared at her. "Jeongsan really looks like you." She added. She sat on his bed and looked at it, she gripped onto the blanket and she didn't know that tears were already falling. "I'm not that kind of person." She muttered but clear enough for Jungkook to hear.
