"Who else is going to the 2nd round," Yujin asked. They already spend more than 3 hours in the restaurant they've booked for their reunion and it's almost closing time. They decided to continue their gathering at another place. Hyunsuk turned to Jihoon who's leaning against the pillar in front of the restaurant. He looked intoxicated. Yujin probably saw him looking at Jihoon, stating, "Ah. What should we do about him? He drank a lot today,"

"Eh? Jihoon couldn't handle alcohol? Why did he drink so much, then?" Hyunjin asked. If Hyunjin knew that Jihoon didn't have a high alcohol tolerance, he'd definitely stop him from continuing to drink. Hyunjin has been taking care of some of their friends, telling them not to drink too much because he knows that some of their friends couldn't really handle alcohol because he has drank with them before. "I haven't gone for a drink with Jihoon so I didn't really know his alcohol tolerance. I thought he had a high alcohol tolerance seeing how much he drank. That's why I didn't even try to stop him,"

"I'll take care of him. You guys can leave now," Hyunsuk said. He glanced at Jihoon who looked like his battery was already drained. Jihoon was just quietly leaning against the pillar.

"You don't want to join our second round?" Chaewon asked.

"No. I have appointments tomorrow morning with the students. I should go home now too," Hyunsuk said.

"What a shame. They probably won't join the second round if you're not around. Jihoon too. Class prez seems like he won't join either," Yujin pouted. "But you're a grown up working adult who's dedicated toward your job and your time. I have to respect that,"

"We can arrange another gathering in future," Hyunsuk said.

"Alright then. Take care," Yujin said. Hyunsuk nodded. Hyunsuk stopped a taxi not long after that and pulled Jihoon inside. Jihoon just followed Hyunsuk to wherever he went. Hyunsuk kept on glancing at Jihoon. Making sure that Jihoon is fine because he didn't even say anything. He didn't look like he's sleeping or passed out either. He's just really quiet throughout the ride. They reached the apartment complex after about 20 minutes. Hyunsuk kept on observing Jihoon while they walked out from the taxi, going into the elevator. Other than Hyunsuk holding his hand while they're walking, Jihoon walked just fine but he's really quiet.

Hyunsuk himself is not really sure about Jihoon's drunken habit or anything. The first and last time he ever saw Jihoon being drunk was that night after he met Ryujin. He drank way more beers than he did today. Hyunsuk opened the door of their house. Jihoon went in followed by Hyunsuk. As soon as Hyunsuk closed the door, Jihoon put his hand under Hyunsuk's chin, slightly pushing his face to look up before he claimed Hyunsuk's lips. Hyunsuk just went with the flow and kissed him back. He didn't think much about it. They kissed a lot after being honest about their feelings toward each other. But as the kiss they shared kept going, Hyunsuk felt something about Jihoon's kiss. About this kiss they shared. Is it because Jihoon is drunk?

Hyunsuk slowly pushed Jihoon and pulled out from the kiss. He looked at Jihoon's face. He looked at the floor, not at Hyunsuk's face. But it's clear that Jihoon is currently feeling down for some reason. Hyunsuk cupped Jihoon's cheeks and made Jihoon look at his face.

"Jihoon-ah. Are you alright?" Hyunsuk asked. "Is something bothering you?"

"You," Jihoon said.

"Ah. Sorry. I didn't mean to bother you. You should take a rest now. Do you want me to get you something? Warm drink?" Hyunsuk asked.

"You,"

"You're really drunk, Park Jihoon. Come. You need to lie down," Hyunsuk chuckled while trying to guide Jihoon toward his bedroom.

"I am not," Jihoon said. He didn't move even an inch when Hyunsuk pulled his hand. He stared into Hyunsuk's eyes. Those eyes, those expression that Hyunsuk wore, clearly looked like he doubt Jihoon's statement. Jihoon sighed. He scooped Hyunsuk up and carried him bridal style. It makes Hyunsuk almost shout because he's too surprised. Jihoon carried him toward the couch in the living room. Jihoon sits on the couch and makes Hyunsuk sit on his lap while facing him. "I didn't drink that much to the point that I got drunk. I'm still very sober now. I just pretended to be drunk,"
