"Hyewon." I hear Jake's voice.

"Hmm?" I hum, drinking some rice wine.

Leaning over the counter with my back against the hard surface, I look at Jake. He walks up to me and stands right in front of me. I look up at him and he looks down at me, with a slight frown on his face and furrowed eyebrows.

"Why so serious, Mr. Sim?" I pinch his cheek, laughing loudly.

This was my 8th bottle of Soju, plus some shots of rice wine. I started to feel a bit drunk after the 3rd shot of rice wine, but I still felt okay; besides the lightweight feeling I began to feel and the euphoria from all of the alcohol.

"Stop drinking so much. The guys are worried for you." He snatches the Soju bottle out of my hand.

"Jake-ssi, wanna drink with me- hey!! That's mine!! Give it back!" I shout.

He holds up the bottle high in the air, making it impossible for me to get it back even if I was on my tiptoes. Getting closer to him to get the bottle, he waves it around in the air so that I wasn't able to get it.

My body pressed on his body at this point, my arms went over his shoulders in desperate attempt to get the bottle back. I get on my highest tip toes and my eyes meet with his lips, our faces barely apart. We keep the eye contact, even with our faces so close together. His eyes traveled down to my lips, but quickly locked eyes with me once again.

He looks taken aback; looking at me with fluster, he begins to blush a little. Of course, I couldn't realize how wrong this looked, because I was tipsy and not in a sober mindset.

"Jake Sim. Give me back that bottle! Now, Australian guy!" I whine, still trying to grab it.

"Nope." He gives me a sneaky smile, looking at me in awe.

"Hey, Australian guy! Give me that back! You're a thief!" I begin to stutter, my words slurring together a little.

"Jaeyun Sim. Give it back!" I scowl and he giggles obnoxiously.

I get off my tiptoes and I huff, my arms still on his shoulders. We lock eyes and I shoot him a death stare, then I smile at him and pinch his cheeks, fixing his bangs for him while maintaining eye contact.

"Jake-ssi~ dance with me." I mumble, giggling like a little kid.

He chuckles a little.

"Am I a stranger to you? Quit calling me Jake-ssi."

"You would hate to be strangers with me, I know. It's okay, Jake Sim."

I confidentially smirk at him and he's flustered, but keeps his small, puppy-like smile.

Putting my arms back on his shoulders, I tiptoe once again and put my mouth near his ear, whispering something to him.

"Jake-ssi." I tease, pulling away from him.

He blushes a bit more, keeping his eyes on me.

"Stop drinking so much. I have to watch you, you know?" He says.

"You already watch me, anyway" I wink at him, getting back the stolen Soju bottle.

Taking another sip of alcohol, he scoffs playfully and puts his hands in his pockets, looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

"I do not." He replies.

"Whatever. You're no fun, Jake-ssi. Tell my brother I'm not a kid anymore. You guys don't need to worry about me."

"That's your last bottle, alright? Or else I'm telling Jungwon you have a shrine of him in your bathroom." He points his finger at me.

"What?" I snort.
