AN: Hello guys! First of all thank you for all of the support that you have given to Confess Already. Due to this overwhelming support, I managed to write another MongDol story. In case you don't know, I published a new story entitled "The Burning Love". Enjoy reading the prologue.
The loud music kept on screaming in their ears, as they fill their throats with alcohol. On the dance floor they squirmed, like those shamans doing their rituals. They were drinking to celebrate the success of their last leg of their overseas fan meetings, which happened in the Philippines.
"Congratulations! Cheers!" They screamed, clinking their glasses and chugging down the alcohol that once filled those.
"Finally! The conclusion of the overseas fan meeting!" So Min squealed as the group finally settled after shaking their butts off at the dance floor.
"Are you happy?" Seok Jin, the eldest, asked the woman.
"Of course, oppa. I am very happy tonight!" So Min squealed once again and drank the full glass she just refilled. The guys tried to snatch her drink but she was too quick. She suddenly dashed to the dance floor and danced like crazy.
"I should've asked Jong Kook to cage her." Jae Seok shook his head and turned his head to Se Chan who called his attention.
"Hyung, I think we're in trouble?" The youngest man spoke in a worried tone. They all turned to him and saw Ji Hyo making her way towards the dance floor, where So Min squeezed herself into.
"Jong Kook, you go and grab her!" But Jong Kook didn't budge, so the guys let her be as they thought that she and So Min wouldn't dare to do something in a foreign land.
"So Min, you look lonely." Ji Hyo pointed at her face.
"Kinda. I miss Korea! I miss my home! I miss my mother, father, Wook Min..." Ji Hyo sensed a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Let's just dance, shall we?" Ji Hyo offered. With her pouty lips, So Min took Ji Hyo's hand and danced with her. Until, the DJ switched the song into a slow-romantic song.
Did I dream that we danced forever
Ji Hyo was so sure that she was tipsy, yet she can clearly see So Min's face. Her small face, that was pale hours ago but turned red because of the liquor. Then, her gaze went to So Min's eyebrows, to her double eyelids, down to her round, big eyes. To Her little nose that makes her even cuter when she wrinkles it, and her thin but pink lips.
In a wish that we made together
Come to think of it, she and So Min would chat this up close, but she has never seen this view of her before. The strobing lights dancing on her face as she stares at her is something she didn't notice even when they drink together.
'I want to observe it a little more' she thought.
On a night that I prayed would never end
With this thought, a plan popped in her head.
"Yah, So Min, wanna do something fun?" Ji Hyo wiggles her eyebrows as she invites the younger woman.
"Unnie!" So Min squealed as Ji Hyo suddenly kidnaps her. They were walking all-wobbly, yet they managed to get out of the bar. "Unnie, what are we doing here outside? We don't even have security here."
"So Min, don't you trust me? Besides we're here to have fun, right?" Ji Hyo reasoned.
The girls were in the middle of a conversation when an older lady approached them.
"Hello, I have an offer for you." The lady spoke in the common language in the place. Both Ji Hyo and So Min were taken aback as they are unfamiliar of the words spoken to them.
"Sorry, no understand." Ji Hyo respond on behalf of the both of them.
"I see you are a beautiful couple," the lady said in English, "I would like to offer you something."
"Oh? Couple? We are?" Ji Hyo's hand on her chest, trying to figure out the situation.
"Ooh!? Couple race? Let's go unnie!" So Min excitedly pulled the older woman towards her. With vision unclear, So Min dragged Ji Hyo following the lady.
"We are a new bar around here, but we're kind of unique." The lady, who turns out to be the owner of the bar across from the bar they went to a while ago.
"Unique? Why?"
"We don't only offer drinks." The lady puts a glass of a bloody red drink in front of them. Ji Hyo, whose eyes were droopy because of the alcohol, became alive after seeing the drink in front of them.
"Yah! What is this?" She yelped, hiding behind So Min. The latter became curious about the thick drink, so she held onto it and raised it up to her nose to smell.
"I can't smell blood," she whispered, "is this blood?"
"No, miss. But we call it Burning Love."
"But it doesn't—" she was cut off by the barista when he lit up the glass of the drink Burning Love and it slowly changed it's color into burgundy.
"It will be an honor for you to taste it and tell me what you think about it." A free drink? Who dares to skip? Definitely not her. She saw So Min's hand making its way to the drink, so she snatched the drink away from her.
"No, So Min. I'll taste it first." Like a scolded kid, So Min pouted as she surrenders. As for Ji Hyo, she needs to make sure that the drink is safe. If not, So Min is responsible enough to call an ambulance or cops, if necessary, anyway.
Ji Hyo planned to only take a sip of the Burning Love drink, but the taste surprised her as it's sweet yet the bitterness of the alcohol still dominates. She loved it.
"Is it good, unnie?" So Min clinged her arms on her shoulder.
"Yes, it's safe too. You may drink." She wiped the side of her mouth, and grabbed the glass when she turned to her side just to glance at So Min, but saw something else. Shock took over her, when she noticed their distance was an inch away.
"Unnie, you're handsome, you know?" She felt So Min's index finger on her cheek. "But above all, you're treating me well, and the older brothers too. I wish I could meet a man like you." Dispirited, she drops her head in Ji Hyo's neck.
"I don't get why she has to wish for someone to treat her that way, when I'm here." She whispered to herself.
"I think you're right, I see you're more reliable." The lady suddenly spoke in Korean, which scared the hell out of her.
"Ma'am? You can speak Korean?"
"Yes, and I know exactly how to help your friend, and maybe you as well." The lady said with a grin.
"What is it?"
"Marry her."
AN: You might be familiar with the plot of the story, but this story is actually inspired by that one fanfic that I've read (iykyk). This may be late as I have posted seven chapters already, but I just want to share it with you. Another thing, I opened an Asian Fanfics and AO3 accounts. I uploaded Confess Already in Asian Fanfics, while The Burning Love in AO3. Once again, from the bottom of my hypothalamus, thank you so much.
