If there was something Sunghoon needed to do right now, at the very moment, it would be abandoning his friends. Every single one of them.
At least it's what he thought anyway.
"Another one!" Jake slurs before chugging down the third glass of beer at once. Jay and Soeun were not far behind, with their respective second glasses of Tanqueray 0.0 and cider. The furthest would have to be Sunghoon, who was halfway through his fifth bottle of soju- already high and not really mighty in any sense.
"Love is a sham," Sunghoon points at himself, and then at his drinking buddies. "And so are you guys."
Soeun nods, pretty sober compared to the rest of the guys. She smiles, reaching out to the boy sitting across herself. The girl lightly clicks her nail against the green bottle, "Well, you can't say we were ever wrong about alcohol being the best friend in this case."
Jake, red cheeked and very much ready to pass out groans in agreement. "No money? Drink. Girlfriend left you? Drink. Dick pro-"
The boy's drunk monologue is put to a close with Soeun squishing his cheeks together. Jay laughs, banging his hand on the wooden table a little too loudly- resulting in quite a few heads to turn.
"Drink. Yeah," Sunghoon agrees, taking lazy sips from the bottle- filling his system with more God's hated substance. "I guess I'm now a raging alcoholic who squeezes tequila and lemon into my abysmal problems."
"Damn. That was…..deep."
Sunghoon sighs.
The three of his friends watch the brunet press the cold bottle against his own cheek, exhaling 9 times more carbon dioxide and unspoken depressed inner monologues with each breath. Life had its own way of fucking things up for the boy, and they'd known it better than anyone else.
"Love is a fucking sham!" The boy screams at the very top of his lungs. He raises his half empty bottle in air, seemingly rejoicing at his failed attempt at romance.
"Yes, pop off!" His friends follow suit. The three had to pretend they almost didn't rain their pants at the sudden scream, but hey! Anything for a friend drowning in alcohol and lovesickness.
"I can't believe Sunoo lied to me," the boy whined, voice toned down into his normal pitch as if he hadn't startled the whole darn bar two seconds ago.
"About what?" Jay lends his two cents.
The heartbroken rom-com protagonist lets out a groan that's confusing enough to be identified as the lovechild of a disappointed snort and a sad sniffle.
Soeun shifts a little in her seat. Park Sunghoon was officially high for the first time since high school.
Jake, already into the headspace of a wild child drunkard- notices the change too. He shoots the girl sitting across him a few heavy eyed (bedroom eyes typa beat but the term bore maximum possibilities of him getting de-peepeefied on the spot) stares.
