Swithene's POV
They ended up having a mini karaoke party after dinner. Eversince we got home Byul hasn't been talking to me nor spare any glance at my direction. The amount of guilt I'm feeling right now is unbearable. I know I started this but I honestly don't have any idea it would effect this relationship as much. Well not like we're in a romantic relationship or anything but I'm just referring about the bond we made as an individual.
"Yeaahh~ It's a party in the U.S of AAAAAA~" Yong screamed on her mic as Maria hyped her up along with Wendy. Most of the people in this house are most likely already tipsy or drunk. The kids were upstairs in their own worlds playing with dolls and tea party since Genesis brought a lot of toys to play with Lisanna .
"Hey! No fair! We've been singing since you got here and both of you weren't even in the mood ever since ya'll got home!" Maria suddenly pointed out.
I feel to caught up with these bothersome feeling, I didn't even realize it has gotten a little too obvious for people around me.
"She has a point though. Try having fun for once. I will also not accept coming back to Seoul without seeing my dear cousin have fun for once. It's been so long since you did. " Wendy added. I stole a quick glance at Byul who was just sitting on the couch holding a glass of whiskey. Since when did Byul become such a party pooper?
"Yeah, Ya'll are getting boring. This won't do." Yong slurred. I looked down on the floor. I'm really not a fan of singing right in front of everyone especially infront of a legit singer, it can really cut down confidence to even open my mouth to make out one note, trust me. And second, I've never sang infront of anyone before.
"I'll sing." I immediately snapped my head towards Byul's direction. I think that's the only word I have heard her utter since we got here. Yong giddily gave the mic to her as she made herself comfortable, uncrossing her legs and stood up to get the remote to chose a song to sing.
The rest finally hollered as Byul's song she picked started filling in my ears. I've heard Byul sing a lot of times and I'd be lying if I say none of those moments made my heart pound so hard I thought I couldn't breathe. Sigh, this is gonna be difficult for me.
(PLAY NEVER BE THE SAME BY CAMILA CABELLO)
Something must've gone wrong in my brain
Got your chemicals all in my veins
Feeling all the highs, feeling all the painLet go on the wheel, it's the bullet lane
Now I'm seeing red, not thinking straight
Blurring all the lines, you intoxicate me
I unconsciously touched my chest feeling it tighten as I sense her eyes burning holes at me. I looked at my drink, making sure to avoid those gazes as much as possible. I'm not even sure if I'm being delusional but my instinct keeps telling me she's neither looking at the lyrics on the t.v screen nor looking at our friends who were singing along.
Just like nicotine, heroin, morphine
Suddenly, I'm a fiend and you're all I need
All I need
Yeah, you're all I need
This time, everyone could tell that she's already staring at me. Based on Yong's expression, she's liking what's happening in front of her.
It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never, ever, ever be the same
I unconsciously licked my dry lips. This fluttering feeling is getting more and more intense by the second.
Out of all people, why does her target supposed to be me? Why Byul? I feel regretful meeting you back then because if I didn't then I wouldn't have any problem with my feelings like this. I wouldn't be comparing my exes to you, if those things never happened then I would've probably be happy instead of finding someone who would outdo you. Unfortunate for me... You are that perfect to me.
...and it weren't for you, I wouldn't know the feeling of wanting someone so bad.
It's annoying... So annoying to wish you were mine.
Maria's POV
I wouldn't even blame her if Swithene's heartbeat can be heard all the way from here if we put the music on mute. Truth is, I really don't hate Byul... Well... Maybe a little but I've been friends with Swithene for almost 9 years already and I've never seen her face be a window of her emotions until now.
She was so hurt when she told me about what she gone through and how that issue almost crushed her. I did think Byul was an *sshole for leaving her like that.
But looking at them, I could tell their relationship would've been like a fairytale. However, I guess there'll always be circumstances that you have to choose between what you want and what's best for you.
In Byul's case, Wendy told me they had a rough relationship with her father almost living as if she's like a lifeless robot under the control of her father. I don't know how to say this in detail but at the time when she first saw Swithene, Byul described her as a breath of fresh air.
I looked at Wendy who deeply sighed, looking at those two. Suddenly the atmosphere got a little dull by the time Byul finished singing.
Their emotions were everywhere that it was oozing through the air.
"Ehem! Happy?" Byul turned to us and put the mic on the table and chugged the last bit of her drink. "I'm going to tuck the kids to sleep and call it a night. Don't forget to clean up guys." she turned and went up stairs like nothing happened.
When she was nowhere to be seen, our heads immediately snapped at Swithene's direction who kept her head hung low. They have possibly exchanged eye contact and we'd all be dense if we didn't think that Byul picked that song on purpose for her. We're not even sure what's in their minds right now but what were sure about is how the spark.... might not be dead yet.
"Swithene, Great song hu-" I quickly covered Yong-unnie's mouth. Now is not the time to ask our friend about that unnie...
Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Wendy and I immediately shook our head to not say anything.
Swithene suddenly rose from her seat, almost making us jump in surprise. "The.. Alcohol is starting to hit me. I'm going to head back to my room guys. Good night." I know all of us saw how she suddenly wiped her tears dripping down her cheeks.
We don't even know if we should comfort her but judging by her words, I think she wants to be alone for awhile.
"Unnie.." I muttered under my breath as we did nothing but watch her go upstairs wondering what's going on between them that made the occasion seem dull.

Romance"Love." Even if it hurts, it does ring a bell. For Swithene, it felt illegal. LITERALLY. Why? Was it because she happen to have fallen in love with the daughter of her mother's enemy or maybe...was it because she gave a big chunk of her heart to...
