chapter 10 | party pooper

"Hi!"

"Hello!"

"It's been so long!"

"It really has!"

"How are you doing?"

"Just the usual. School is boring as always... and you?"

"I'm drunk, thank you. And who's this?"

"Ah, this is my friend and roommate."

"So nice to meet you, what's your name?"

"Chayoung." The girl replied the drunk one that had welcomed her and Haneul at the door.

She had no clue to who the drunken girl was, but she guessed it was her party. Haneul seemed to know her at least.

Chayoung had never actually been to a party.

The closest she got was when her mother once bought balloons for her birthday. That, or the strip club, if you'd call that a party.

As mentioned, the girl never really had any true friends in school... and she never even went to high school.

At the time the girl was supposed to transfer to high school, her mother couldn't afford tuition and the girl suggested she could be home schooled instead. She didn't want her mother to feel bad and therefore said she'd always had a wish of being homeschooled.

Her mother went in on the idea. Her shifts were usually in the evening and night anyway, so she did the best to teach her daughter what she knew. However, it was mostly street smartness and not actual education material.

That was also why the girl had trouble in the college classes. She struggled with concentrating because the material was so heavy. Homework, assignments, projects... She hadn't been doing that since the age of 14, which was five years ago.

But Chayoung was happy back then to spend more time with her mother and make her less worried about how she did in school. Also, she was happy to avoid the exclusion she'd always received in school.

And she was never invited to a single party.

Which is why the girl nervously and quietly followed her roommate through the house.

She was used to being around drunk people and she didn't keep count of how many times she herself had drunk until she puked.

But that was different from this.

"Grab a drink." Haneul said as Chayoung just stood and watched her make a drink.

"I can just... take?" The girl was confused. The alcohol was free? She knew how expensive it could be and the only times she got it for free was when she seduced some guy at the club to buy a drink for her.

"Yeah." Haneul chuckled, "These people don't even remember who brought what. Knock yourself out."

Chayoung looked back at the counter filled with all sorts of liquor and sodas as well.

"Say less." She almost drooled which made Haneul laugh and Chayoung started laughing along before she grabbed the vodka and mixed it with sprite and found a straw.

The two girls found a comfortable spot in the corner of the kitchen to stand and talk while slowly sipping their drinks. Haneul noticed her roommates slightly tense position and decided to stay with her for a while until she got tipsy enough to let loose, or maybe even the whole night. But the girl had to be real. She was a lightweight. There was no way she was gonna be able to take care of Chayoung.

"So is Taehyung coming tonight?" Chayoung mused, a smirk creeping onto her lips.

"Maybe, I don't know and I don't care." Haneul shrugged indifferently.
