San's

Everyone is now sleeping because of exhaustion after dinner. I stand up from my bed and take my jacket. I met Hongjoong hyung in the hallway who looked worried.

"Have you seen Cheonsa? She's not in her room."

My eyes widen then I walk to her room to see it empty. "I'll go look for her, hyung." I said while running away from the house.

I went to the beach and saw her crying on her knees. She was thinking of her parents. I was about to approach her, but a man already went to her side. My eyebrows furrowed as I observed them exchange words and then leave the beach. They walked together to a bar and I secretly followed. Even though Cheonsa is already drunk, she still accepts the drink from the man.

I sighed, "my, my, Lee Cheonsa, you're such an angel," I whispered to myself.

"Hey, handsome, are you lonely tonight?" I shake my head to the lady with heavy make-up and skimpy clothes, "sorry, I have to fetch my drunk girlfriend." I said and left to grab Cheonsa's waist.

"Angel," I called her and she widened her eyes when she saw me.

"Sannie!"

My eyes widened when she wrapped her hands around my neck. "That's too much alcohol for tonight, don't you think so, baby?"

She nodded enthusiastically. "I want to go home already but Minho is still giving me drinks," she whines.

I glared at the man and noticed his familiar face. I smirked, "nice to see you again but I will appreciate it if you'll stop bugging her and trying your best to bed her."

I wrapped my arms around her to make her stand straight, "let's go, Angel." She hummed and started walking as I guided her.

"San, sleep with me," she says bluntly as we walk home. I chuckled, "what will you do if I say 'no'?"

She pouted, "then, I'll force you." I smiled wider.

When we got home, Hongjoong hyung met us and immediately grabbed cold water while I carried Cheonsa to her bed.

"Are you feeling better now?" Hongjoong hyung asked after Cheonsa finished drinking.

Cheonsa nods and returns the glass to hyung. "Then, I'll get some sleep now, you two should rest, too."

Cheonsa smiles while nodding to hyung and I felt disturbed. I waited for hyung to close the door before I turned to Cheonsa.

"Will you sleep with me?" She asks in an innocent way. I lower my upper body to level her face, "do you want me to?"

Cheonsa nods again, "yes."

I kneel in front of her, "a man and a woman, alone in one room," I whisper as I lean towards her, "what do you think happens?"

I chuckled when I saw her throat move up then down. I pointed to the wall behind her, "can you hear Wooyoung and Bora?" She nods again. "Aren't you curious what happens?"

"I know enough to know what happens." She blurts out, "so do you want to do it?"

I feel my heartbeat more loudly than usual as I can feel my hands itching to hold her.

This isn't the first time I saw Cheonsa drunk and I sort of forgot how to take care of her with my nervous state, especially with her clothes. Lee Cheonsa has been pushing me to my limits since we got here. The first incident was her bikini while we were playing, then the short summer dress she's wearing, and lastly the way she teases me with her innocent eyes.
