Yesterday night
2:00 AM
Rocky's club

"You know what, I am the queen in this area. I am happy to see your moody ass not getting the attention you used to get." Rosielle chuckled airily as she swirled the whisky in her glass, pressing it back to her lips with her eyes closed as Iseul sat across her, who was not high yet.

"I bet you couldn't get a word out of that guy from the AI department, Sunoo." Iseul laughed at her in pity as she glared back at her in pure torment. "He's too hard to get and a huge time investment. Even you cannot get him." She said as she placed her empty glass on the table, waiting for a refill.

"What can you tell me about that cold jerk, Park Sunghoon?" Rosielle sighed in exaggeration as she placed her hand on her heart. "I tried approaching him, but it all went down the hill. He told me to stay away from him as he knew I used to whore around. I advise you to stay away from him as he might throw you into some university hassles through his connections." "Hmm, okay." Iseul nodded as she laid back and sipped some rum.

"Will you stop flying in the sky if I can get the ones you couldn't?" A smirk took over Iseul's face as she looked towards her frenemy with a competitive gaze. "Try on. You know the list very well." She said as she tapped on her phone screen. "I dare you to make each one of their hearts flutter within this year and I am going to accept my defeat really well. It's going to be an entertaining year." Rosielle giggled as she got up on her wobbly feet and went outside the club.

"Don't worry, I am already getting a hold of it." Iseul muttered as she downed another glass of wine, her hazy eyes going back towards the people around her. "Hi." A raspy voice interrupted her drinking session. "Who are you?" She laughed at the person, her mind cracked as the alcohol acted for her. "None of your business. Just take care of your belongings." The man sighed as he picked up the car keys for her. "YAAH! TELL ME YOUR NAME!" She slurred as she tried screaming.

"Stupid. She thinks she's really cunning." Jungwon laughed as he went to the other side of the club to sit with his friends, ignoring her. He was concentrating well on his bet when suddenly Iseul appeared in front of him, looking pissed off by his salty attitude and was completely wasted as she barely managed to maintain her balance.

"Yaah, Mister. How dare you talk to me that way?" Jungwon was completely stunned by the distance between them as Iseul clung onto his collar. His friends who surrounded him were equally surprised as him. However, before they could neatly observe the commotion, Iseul fainted onto him, completely gone. "So warm." She mumbled as she buried herself into his chest, holding onto his shirt.

"What is going on, Jungwon?" One of his friends smiled slyly as they winked at him. "I think we should give them some space." One of them said out loud, causing everyone to immediately agree and leaving the lounge. "Stop acting, girl. You haven't drank that much." He stared at her for a minute before deciding to take her back to the dorm.

"Wait. You never brought a girl here. Why now?" Riki questioned him, trying to analyse the situation as Jungwon threw her on the couch carelessly. "Hey! She is a human, stupid! Not a doll!" Riki hissed in pain. "Stop crying. You're always crying." Jungwon rolled off his eyes at him as he locked his room, exiting the living room.

Riki gently placed the pillow under her head and when he was about to put the blanket, she pulled him towards him, their faces only centimetres apart. He would lie if he said he wasn't awestruck by her. "Whoa! That was close." He gasped dramatically as he placed his hand on his heart and gently tucked her into the blanket.

Riki silently sat on the edge of the couch and kept staring at her absentmindedly until he was interrupted by a phone call, which he decided to pick up. "Yes, mom. I am doing alright. I'll call you another time." He smiled gently as he hung up the phone call. "Why are you still sitting here?" Jungwon looked at Riki with irritation evident in his eyes, causing him to look at him and smirk as he analysed the situation.

"Hyung's jealous I guess." Riki smirked as he patted the latter's back. "And why would I be? I am just annoyed that I would have to sleep on the floor tonight." He stated as he swept his hair back which were covering his face. "Don't tell me you fell for the girl who you met at the blind date set by your mom." Riki gasped out of shock. "I just said something about her makeup and then she started crying and left." Jungwon said in a monotone. "Poor you! How embarrassing it would be." Riki started laughing out loud at his pitiful situation.

Jungwon's mom would often setup dates for him during the weekends in order to build up strong connections with other powerful families but he tossed all of them away just by putting his arrogance for the show which unfortunately none of them could handle and would just end up with the date cursing at him and leaving him alone as he would just randomly scroll through the reels on his phone.

"Well, hyung I think you should take some rest. I will sleep on the floor, right here." A smile spread over Riki's lips and his eyes sparkled. "Well, no, I will sleep." Jungwon stated monotonously as he threw the pillow that was tugged under his arm on the floor. "Dad! Dad! Mom's not waking up! Save her! Please!" A voice diverted the attention of both the guys who were busy arguing. "Looks like she is having a nightmare." Jungwon said as he stood up and went towards her to check if she had a fever as per his own experience of having nightmares whenever he caught a flu.

Jungwon was taken aback when his hand was snatched by Iseul who was in deep sleep and hugged his arm tightly.
