the rest of the group was still sat at the bar talking
laila had a few drinks and started speaking her mind
"so yeonjun..." she started
"uh yeah?" he looked towards her
"what was that all about?" she said so vaguely
"uhhhh what?" he asked genuinely confused
"oh you know, you missing your line on stage and then saying the next line like directly towards me" she raised her eyebrow while she swirled her drink in her cup
"oh thattt ahahah, i was just caught off guard haha" he nervously laughed
"i meannn your band mate said you wrote the song right? she asked
"uh right, i wrote it..." he hesitantly answered
"from experience orrrr..." she said
"what are you trying to say laila" he said putting his drink down, starting to get annoyed of laila's prying
"was it about me..." she said
yeonjun just shook his head and pressed his tongue to the inside of his lip and took a sip of his drink
"wellllll" laila leaned in
"and if it was?" he said
"then i'd know you still thought about me, even after...what i did" her voice lowered with each word
yeonjun just shrugged
"i mean i didn't think you'd take it so personal that you'd write a whole song about me" laila said
"i mean we never even dated, like were you that hurt and-" laila was cut off from her rambling
"listen laila, i'm a musician, i make music, i write lyrics from experience, it doesn't need to be personal, it's just what happened and i wrote about it ok?" yeonjun explained to a slightly drunk laila

soobin saw them two talking and remembered how yeonjun was his competition back in the day
they both wanted laila and soobin got her,
but now that they've been together for quite some time, would laila want a change?
would laila want to experience what she missed?
soobin drank more and more with each negative thought that came to his mind
he had a lot to drink and got annoyed with every movement and tried starting fights with everyone he saw
laila tried her best to control her boyfriend, she dragged him back to their table to let him cook down a bit
he slumped in his seat barely able to keep his head up
"what is up with you soobin?" laila asked
"dontttt leaveee me forrr yeonjunnnnn" he so drunkily said
laila didn't even understand what he was saying because of how much he slurred his words
laila noticed a phone on the table buzzing from text messages
she didn't mean to be nosy but she took a peek at the messages
"baby where are you 🥺"
"come back home quick im waiting for you 😘"
"someone's got a lover waiting at home" laila chuckled to herself
but upon further inspection laila noticed the familiar lock screen of this phone...
it was of a hedgehog...soobins hedgehog
he told her his phone was dead, which was why he didn't call or text her earlier
it was all just a lie
laila's knees felt weak as her hand went to her mouth
she felt sick to her stomach
her boyfriend of 7 years had someone texting him to come back home
the relationship she gave a second chance, the man she went for instead of having a new experience, a new boyfriend, just for him to go around and have another woman
soobin was still slumped in his seat fluttering his eyes open barely conscious but starting to sober up bit by bit
laila took one look at his innocent face and wondered how he could do such a thing
she took the nearest drink and threw it right in his face
with this he was fully awake
