Drink it up | Kim Hongjoong

020

It was now almost 12 am, everyone was having a great time. They were all hanging out around the house, Hongjoong was one of the drunkest which surprised me. "Sannie." He looked at me with a smile, "Yes?" He was completely drunk, "I love you." He smiled and kissed my cheek, "I love you too!" I giggled and watched as he made his way to Wooyoung who was dancing, it was now down to just me and Hongjoong on the couch.

"Joong can I ask a favor?" He looked at me with red eyes and cheeks, "Anything." I smiled and kissed him softly, "Can you go get me a drink love?" He groaned, "Really? You're gonna pull me in like that and send me away?" I giggled as he smiled and nodded kissing me again, "What do you want?" I shrugged, "Surprise me." He was about to leave when I grabbed his hand, "I love you." His smile grew, "I love you too."

I waited until he was out of sight and got up quickly making my way through the crowd, getting outside was easier than I expected, Mingi did a great job of getting everyone fucked up. I took off running towards the exit of the property, I had to be quick and fast before they noticed. My heart was pounding as tears weld up in my eyes, I kept running now matter how tired I got, no matter how much I struggled to breathe, no matter how much I wanted to go back, no matter how much I hated this plan.

I made my way back to the highway and slowed down catching my breath as I leaned on a building. The tears started to fall immediately, cars passed by quickly, a few people who were walking looked at me but never stopped. Once I felt like I could walk I wiped my tears and completely shut down. It was kinda like a switch I had, I used it a lot when I was younger. I felt no emotion, no fear, no sadness, just numb. The heaviness in my chest never left though, everything screamed at me to turn around but I didn't.

I just kept walking, I took different streets getting lost in the lights. It was cold, everyone was completely covered up unless they were coming from a club, then they made their way to cabs. I found myself wondering what the others might be doing right now. Wooyoung and San were probably dancing together, Yunho was probably playing some kind of drinking game with Mingi, Yeosang, and Jongho. Seonghwa was probably making some fruity drink or dancing with a girl. Hongjoong...could be doing any of those things or he was searching for me. Seeing how drunk he was he probably forgot what he was doing and got distracted.

I felt the eyes on me, the slow car behind me, I sighed and stopped. The car did to, right next to me, "So..you found me." The door opened and I closed my eyes for a moment before turning and getting into the car. Instantly someone from the passenger seat tried to inject something in my neck but I was quicker, I grabbed the vial and looked at him. "I'm going peacefully, you touch me and you lose that peace." He slowly backed off, his body was next to me but I still hadn't looked at him.

His laugh echoed through the car, "I raised you right." You didn't raise me. San did. I leaned back, "Honey-" I quickly cut him off, "Stop, don't try to sweet talk me, I know you need me for business and I'm here. Tell me the plan and then leave me alone." I could see his smirk on the corner of my eye, "You're smart, must get that from me." I couldn't hold back my scoff, "No I get it from mom, my real mom. You know, the one you killed." San told me a long time ago, our real mom was killed off of a speculation of cheating, he replaced her and she mentally abused us. He physically abused us.

There was silence in the car, "You'll learn to leave your tongue behind. I won't hesitate to teach you a lesson, don't you miss those?" A chill traveled down my spine, "January 20th I'll present you to your new husband. He'll take you and it'll pay off my debt." I rolled my eyes, clearly he was leaving something out. "And the boys?" He sighed, "They'll be left unharmed. Once this deal is over I'll be leaving the country. I hear Japan is pretty this time of year."

I rolled my eyes, this was going to be a long car ride. Oh boy was I right, I was stuck in that god damn car for an hour. We finally arrived to a huge looking house, it wasn't the one from years ago but it was definitely bigger. I got out of the car as everyone else did, my heart was beating quickly but I wasn't sure why. "This way Euna." I followed behind him, I could hear my heart beat in my ears now, we walked up a set of stairs and down a long hall.
