Drink it up | Kim Hongjoong

045

"What the fuck were you thinking?!"

Hongjoong's eyes widened, "You're lucky I was there!" Nari jumped up, "Jongho Oppa it's my fault. I went with her but I left her and we were gonna meet back here. I just got here, Hongjoong oppa didn't know until now.." I touched his shoulder, "Jongho I'm fine..thank you for stepping in but I'm okay. I could have handled him and if anything Hongjoong was right there.." Joong threw his hands up, "Whoa what the fuck happened?!"

"Just some guy being an asshole is all. Claimed he was a friend of Nari and even knew my name.." Her eyes widened, "Euna I'm so sorry, that's Jay. He can't hold his liquor and becomes a douche when he's drunk." Jongho spoke over us, "Look I don't care if she's the best fighter in the world, you shouldn't have let her out of your sight!" He was talking to Hongjoong, "She wasn't alone Jongho! Euna can fight for herself if she needs to, she was gone for 5 god damn minutes!"

I knew he agreed with Jongho but his ego was too big and he was to mad that it was Jongho that saved me so of course he was gonna be stubborn. "Yeah and look what happened!" Before we could stop it Hongjoong's hand landed against Jongho's face, a gasp left me as the crowd that had started to form grew bigger. Jongho hit him back, "Stop!" I tried to pull Hongjoong away but couldn't, he hit Jongho again. "Mingi!" I screamed as loud as I could and in seconds he was there pulling them apart.

Yunho was next to me in a heartbeat, "What's happening?" We noticed Jongho getting ready to hit Hongjoong whose arms were held back, "Jongho stop!" I didn't think twice, I jumped in front of Hongjoong. It felt like slow motion as my heart rang through my ears, I circled my arm around his fist and flipped his body landing him on his stomach with his hand pulled behind his back. "I said stop!" He was breathing heavily as he stared up at me, everyone was dead silent. "The fuck are you all staring at?!"

Everyone turned away, now that I was closer to Jongho I could smell the liquor on his breath, "Look I get you're angry okay? Yeah it was probably a bad idea but that doesn't give you the right to attack him. I told her I'd meet her down here and she took my word for it, that's not on them that's on me. I know you still have feelings for me but Jongho please...don't do this." Mingi finally let Hongjoong go as he stared at us, "If I let you go..are you going to be okay?" He didn't answer making me mad.

"Jongho." I pulled his arm further back finally making him talk, "Yes. Please let go." I slowly let go of his arm and got off him, he got up and looked from me to Hongjoong. "Yes I still like you." He turned to me, "And I respect him. But if you're in danger I don't care who it is. I'm gonna speak my mind, tell your boyfriend to stop using his god damn hands." With that he took off, tears formed in my eyes as I watched him walk away.

I turned to Hongjoong and tried to check his face but he pulled away from me, "I just..need a minute." He stormed off further into the kitchen, Nari stood there with a hand over her mouth staring at me. "Euna I'm so sorry..if I knew this would happen I wouldn't have left.." I shook my head, "It's not your fault...there's tension between them that I caused." Mingi looked around, "Am I missing something?" I looked at him and then Yunho, "I'll fill you in." We sat on the couch again as Yunho filled Mingi and Nari in for me.

All I could think about was Hongjoong, was he okay? Is he mad at me? I should have never drank. I stood up, "I'm going to look for Hongjoong." Mingi stood up behind me, "Euna is that wise? They just fought because you were alone.." Tears filled my eyes, "Follow me if you want but I'm going to find him. I'm sorry Nari." She shook her head, "No no it's okay, I'm gonna head home actually. Please, text me if you need anything at all." I nodded and hugged her, Yunho stood up and soon they followed me further into the house.

I found Hongjoong outside in the backyard, the guys nodded and gave me space as I slowly walked up to him. He was leaning against the railing, I leaned against it with him making me remember the first time I said I love you. "Joong?" I looked at him and touched his shoulder, his tense body seemed to relax some. "Are you okay?" He glanced at me and then back to the yard, "You could have gotten hurt." I tried to make it better, "But I didn't."
