The Days That Count

7. The Day After

Tomorrow afternoon

"Oh god. I shouldn't have drunk this much beer. "Baek-Hyun stated as him and Aliyah, alongside with Jordan walked out of the hospital where he ended up after it passed two thirty in the morning. Apparently, he had drunk more than ten for the whole evening. Maybe even around fifteen.

"Now the reason in you starts speaking?" Aliyah scolds him while taking out a phone from her black purse. They stroll down the sidewalk, looking for Jordan's car on the parking lot.

"I didn't mean to make trouble for you guys. I just drank two or three and then my competitive side kicked in.. " Baek-Hyun was still feeling numb from all the alcohol. Truth to tell, he never had a capacity since he did not even try to build it. The guy usually doesn't drink at all, but something in him awoke last night and made him drink about seven liters of beer.

"While you were passing out, your girlfriend kept calling. She kept messaging stuff in Korean. " Jordan said as they reached his car finally. His friend's eyes became wide with this knowledge.

"Hana called? "

"Uh, yes." Jordan spoke while getting in. "I don't understand the language, but man even I could tell those were some bad words."

His head began to hurt. He had so much holes in memory from last night, but could get a picture of a single phone call, before he began drinking like a maniac. "Oh god. " He held his head as he got into the back seat of the car, letting Aliyah take the front next to Joe. "We had a fight last night over the phone. I was quite drunk. "

"Did it happen on your second or on your tenth beer?" Jordan questioned with sarcasm as he started the car. "Because it makes a huge difference in when you're gonna make up. "

The sky was cloudy and the weather got chilly lately. It's only reasonable since the fall began a while ago. Jordan did not memorize clearly if that was for today, but could remember the forecast of rainy days coming to Philadelphia. He kept thinking of how he has to start studying seriously since some of his assignment deadlines are coming up. After the friends arrived at their parking lot and walked up the stairs, Aliyah suggested that they all hang out a bit and play cards or just watch tv. Jordan agreed, since it was past six pm already. Studying is not good to be started so late, unless you have an exam tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Baek-Hyun said that he feels tired and that he'd join them later if he gets the strength, but needs to call his girlfriend first.

"Way to go buddy. You call her and find out exactly what bullshit you said to her last night while robbing our fridge. " Aliyah patted his shoulder.

Hyun only rolled his eyes and entered his and Jordan's apartment, without a fight since he had no of it left in him after last night.

The remaining two decided to hang out at Aliyah's, none of them hearing from Heavenly ever since they left for the hospital the second time to pick up Hyun. She was left alone with Maxx about three hours ago, but told them to call her immediately if anything comes up.

"You think he left?" Aliyah asked Jordan as she reached for the doorknob, before opening the door.

Jordan shrugged. "I hope so. He's been here for the whole day. "

"He's so sweet. Him and Heavenly make a nice couple, don't you think so too?" Aliyah stabbed an already open wound in his chest.

Maxx had come late last night and explained to Heavenly that he had to go pick up his friend from the airport and apparently his phone had died. He apologized big time.
