Zuha, who seems to have gotten too many drinks, stumbles into them with a squeal.
"Chae! New girl! Where have you been? I've been looking eeeeverywhere for you," she slurs her words, sloppily kissing Chaewon's cheek. "I missed you! And Yunjinah! Our song! It came on!" She starts singing Naughty Girl with startlingly impressive vocals. She pauses, staring at Chaewon's neck.
"What?" Chaewon asks, self-consciously.
Kazuha grins widely and jabs a finger into Chaewon's neck. "I see you got a little naughty, Unnie! Who is here? Where is he? Is he hot?"
Chaewon covers her neck but before she does, Yunjin sees the little, red bruise on her skin.
Oops.
"It's not what you think!" Chaewon exclaims unconvincingly and she's hilariously bad at lying under pressure.
Kazuha purses her lips. "Wait a minute." Her gaze flickers from Chaewon to Yunjin and Yunjin's heart stutters to a halt.
Kazuha makes to say something, but is interrupted when some guy knocks into her.
"I'm so sorry!" he shouts over the music and is about to continue on his way, but Kazuha grabs his arms, stopping him.
"Hi," she greets. "You've got such strong arms!"
The guy looks annoyed at first but it evaporates in a hot second when he gets a closer look at Zuha. Then he's suddenly all predatory teeth and glinting eyes.
"Thank you," he says, eyeing her like a piece of meat. "You've got beautiful eyes."
Yunjin blinks and the next second, Zuha's about to leave to the dance floor with the stranger. "Holy shit," she says, unsure if she's impressed or disturbed.
Chaewon lets out an exasperated groan and separates Kazuha from the guy, despite her friend's protests.
"Unnie!" she whines. "What are you doing!"
"Rescuing you," Chaewon says as she steers her away from the guy. "You're stupid drunk. I think it's time to get you home."
"Aw, come on!" the guy complains, throwing his arms to the side.
"She's only eighteen, you creep," Yunjin says to him, and watches how that shuts him up. She tunes out his rambling about how much she doesn't look eighteen and follows Chaewon and Kazuha back to the VIP area.
When they get upstairs, Yunjin locates her purse where she left it with a few soccer girls.
"Where's Sakura?" Chaewon asks the girls while trying to make Kazuha drink a huge glass of water.
"Oh, I think I saw her leave with one of the cheerleaders," one of them responds.
"Where's Jake?" Yunjin wonders. Jake was supposed to be her ride. She fishes out her phone from her purse and discovers she's gotten several texts from him.
Jake [1:26 AM] where are you
Jake [1:32 AM] Yunjin ????
Jake [1:39 AM] i have to leave soon
Jake [1:47 AM] ok nobody knows where you are
Jake [1:55 AM] i'm leaving, sorry, it's getting late
"Un-fucking-believable!" Yunjin hisses under her breath. "He was my ride!"
Chaewon snorts as she pulls on her jacket and helps Kazuha into hers. "Sucks to be you, Huh."
"Oh stop it, Unnie!" Kazuha exclaims, and smiles brightly at Yunjin. "She can drive with us!"
