chapter one

Kim Minjeong is the type of person who prefers Netflix and chill on a Friday Night. However, for some weird reason, she can't seem to sit still.

Out of nowhere, her phone rang. The moment she saw the ID, her eyes rolled. "Hello?"

"Roomie!!! Thank god, you answered fast. I really need your he-"

"What is it Ningning?"

Minjeong can clearly hear the loud banging noise of music. She must be in the club again, the blonde thought.

"I left my wallet there. Can you bring it here?"

"You what?"

"I thought I put the wallet on my purse, but it turned out I brought my power bank instead," Minjeong growled as she heard the reason. "C'mon, Roomie, just this once. Please help me."

The blonde thought about it. She really doesn't want to go out, but at the same time, she feels weird just staying at home. She wants to move, to do something, but doesn't know what to do.

After an eternal minute of thinking, she gave out a long sigh, "I'm on my way. Text me the address."

-----

Minjeong is not a fan of clubs. She doesn't like places that are too crowded. It's too noisy and suffocating for her.

I'm just here to deliver the wallet, that's all.

As she entered the club, she wanted to get out already. There were too many people dancing, hooking up, and drunk. Not a sight she wants to see on a Friday night.

It wasn't hard to look for her friend, who was clearly having the time of her life on the dance floor. Ningning wasn't that short, but she wasn't that tall either. Her energy just radiates naturally, totally opposite of the older girl.

"Ning Yizhou," she called out as she tapped her roommate's shoulder.

"You made it!!" Ningning immediately embraced her. The blonde girl returned the embrace and let the younger girl drag her to her table where she left her things.

"I can't thank you enough for this, Unnie." She looked over her blonde friend, "how can I make up for you?"

Minjeong thought for a bit. It was a bit hard to concentrate as the club was getting rowdy, "Just buy me a week worth of pink pringles, and then, I am good."

Ningning chuckled at the blonde's response, "You and your snacks." She then noticed how angsty the other person was. "Unnie, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just not that comfortable here," the blonde looked around. "Maybe, you need some drinks to loosen up," the younger girl responded.

"You know I don't like alcohol, Ning."

"It's just a drink or two, Unnie."

The next thing Minjeong knows she was again dragged to a different location, onto the bar area of the club. Ningning called out to the bartender and ordered some drinks for the blonde girl.

"Ning, I don't think this is a good idea."

"Oh c'mon, Unnie. Loosen up." She looked at her roommate, "You're already here, so let's just have fun."

Minjeong could only shake her head. As much as she wants to argue, she knows she can't win against her roommate.

She was only planning on bringing the wallet, and yet, she's here, stuck in a place she doesn't want to be in on a Friday night.

------

Minjeong is alone again, sitting at the bar while drinking her last shot.

She's not a fan of any kind of alcohol, but she won't deny, it did help her loosen up. With her high tolerance, she's still good enough to drive home.
