22 : Booze, Snooze, and the Truth

• Park Jiyeong •

"You're really oblivious, y'know?"

"H-hey, what did I do?" I furrowed my brows.

"Well, firstly," Jangmi started. "You kissed two guys and left your other friends jealous."

"I am aware of that." I deadpanned.

"Secondly, you're deadass acting like nothing's wrong!"

"I am also aware of that!"

"Wait, so you're acting like on purpose?"

"What?! No! Just— Argh!" I ran a hand through my hair, irritated. "What am I supposed to do about it?"

"Help them make up? Duh..." Jangmi rolled her eyes before her gaze averted to her watch. "Ah! Look at the time! I gotta go get some drinks!"

Jangmi stood up, pulling a bottle of saké out of her backpack.

"W-where the hell did that come from?!" Chenle's eyes widened.

"Noona drinks?!" Jisung's eyes widened.

"Ah! You can't have any." Jangmi hugged the bottle protectively as her lips formed a pout.

"I don't want any in the middle of the day!" The two males yelled at the same time.

"Jangmi always has a bottle of booze in her bag." I explained. "Normally, it would be saké."

"Why do you drink, exactly?" Jisung frowned. "I mean, booze doesn't taste good."

"You have no taste, kid." Jangmi scoffed. "To answer your question, alcohol is my solution of dealing with life."

"I don't think it's a solution..."

"Well, not to get technical, but according to Chemistry, alcohol is a solution."

"You did not just bring academics into this." I rolled my eyes at Jangmi's statement, making her shrug in response.

"Anyways, I'll see you later!" She walked off. "You losers can go sniff the bed!"

Jangmi then left the house, not forgeting to blow a kiss. The place immediately turned dead silent, you could hear me losing the will to live.

"Above all the things she could've asked us to do..." Chenle spoke up. "She asked us to sniff the bed."

"Well, you can sniff Jisung's bed." I scoffed.

"Wait, what—"

"A-anyways," Jisung interrupted Chenle. "I'm sure your anti-social ass will eventually find a way to make up with your friends, Yeongie."

"I don't know if I should be happy or offended..." I murmured.

"Maybe I should stop to get a midnight snack..."

I heaved out a sigh, pushing my hair back. The sky was already dark, but luckily the street lights were still bright, so I didn't have to be so cautious.

A loud bang made me flinch and look around. My gaze averted to the alley beside me and there I saw a figure in the dark. They were taking wobbly steps before leaning against the wall for support.

I squinted my eyes, but they immediately widened when I realized who it was.

"Jangmi?!"

The figure stepped into the light, revealing it was indeed Jangmi.

She wobbled towards me, making me catch her out of instinct.

"Nnn... Jiji~!" She slurred.

"Jangmi, you reek of booze!" I exclaimed, furrowing my brows.
