A/N: I don't like this chapter. I feel disappointed.

Nayeon quietly walked across the dim bar. She silently thanked Jeongyeon because she had connections to the bar owner. This was always their go to bar whenever someone wanted a drink as early as they want.
"get me another shot of what she's having." Nayeon said to the bartender as she timidly sat besides Jihyo testing the unknown tension between them.
Quite frankly, Nayeon doesn't have a clue what she's expecting from Jihyo. Jihyo didn't give Nayeon a second look as Nayeon sat.
Why would she? After all the things they hid from each other. This might be Nayeon's mistake, and now Nayeon doesn't have any clue on how to fix this mess.
She circled the rim of the glass as she stared aimlessly in front. Waiting for anything, waiting for any reaction from her friend. Thankfully Jihyo spoke.
"Why?" Jihyo said letting that one word hang in the air between them. For a minute or two.
"Why did you do it Nayeon?" Jihyo was genuinely curious. Nayeon could only look straight into Jihyo's blank eyes.
Those big eyes that could shine the darkest shadows, the eyes that stores the shine ever since they were kid were almost unrecognizable. Those eyes were so different compared to the stony blank ones Nayeon was looking at right now.
Nayeon gulped. She had no absolute words. No fair explanation. Not even the slightest clue to how she can explain how miserable these people are because of her. She felt guilty, but more so, she felt mad at herself for letting this happen in the first place.
"You do know I love her, right?" Jihyo sighed, not waiting for answer from the older girl. Nayeon could only nod as she faced her miserable friend.
Jihyo took another shot of the unknown alcohol when Nayeon placed a hand above hers. "Jihyo, I'm really sorry." Nayeon said with the most sincerity she had ever said to her childhood friend.
"I'm sorry if I thought I was protecting you. I'm sorry if I thought I was doing the right thing---" Nayeon was completely interrupted when Jihyo abruptly stood up from her seat.
"So basically you made all this mess worse. " Jihyo coldly said. It made Nayeon wince, because it was true. Nothing about this was simple but when Nayeon intervened it got much worse.
"Everything's so messed up. Dahyun can't look me in the eyes. Sana probably doesn't want to see me now. Momo is surely mad-"Someone stopped Jihyo from shouting. The person placed a hand on Jihyo's shoulder.
They both looked at Jihyo's back showing Dahyun. Nayeon texted Dahyun earlier but she didn't expect the girl to show up. Especially when she just got released from the hospital.
"D-dahyun." Jihyo looked paler, she was absolutely stunned. The two girls just stood there speechless as Nayeon carefully watched the both of them. No one was planning to talk first.
"I-I texted Dahyun earlier." Nayeon decided to break the ice between the two girls. "I just thought you two should talk."
Dahyun received a text earlier from Nayeon telling her to meet her in this bar. Telling her how messed up this Sana situation had been.
Jihyo broke her gaze from Dahyun and turned her expressions to Nayeon. Blazing hot if it could only be felt.
"She's here to talk to you Jihyo." Nayeon said avoiding their eyes on here. Awkward was an understatement to the ambiance of the whole bar.
