"You guys went drinking without me!"

Jiah looked at Yoona who stepped into the kitchen while she was making hangover soup.

"It was a team dinner. I didn't drink"

"I wouldn't be angry if you did. You're almost an adult" Yoona looked at the soup. "Did Yujun drink a lot?"

"She blacked out. I guess she was really stressed yesterday"

"Well I..Wait what were you doing there?"

"First I went along because I needed a new camera. But they ended up needing a photographer so I filled in" 

Jiahs phone suddenly rang. She grabbed it and looked at the name written there. Her eyes widened, quickly hiding it behind her back.

"Can you bring this soup to Yujun? I need to take this"

"Okay sure.."

Yoona stared her friend down who rushed to the other side of the house. Jiah grabbed her phone and picked up the call.

Did you sleep well?

You could've just send me a text..why call me

Last night

The nice evening wind was making her feel less worked up. Her tears officially disappeared and she felt better again. Looking besides her, she looked at her friend who was sleeping peacefully on someones back.

"Thank you for carrying her"

"It's okay" Ricky looked at her. "It's the least I can do"

"But don't think we're even now" she glared at him. "I still won't forgive you"

"You probably will never but it's okay" 

The two of them silently walked through the quiet neighbourhoods of Seoul. Everyone was asleep already, except for them. It was like one of those scenes you would see in a movie. It's been a while since she walked the streets with a boy. Not that she cared, it just felt normal.

Her friends always talked about going on late night walks during their dates and it made her feel kind of jealous. She hasn't dated since..it happened.

"What happened tonight..do you want to sue him?"

Jiah looked at Ricky who looked back with a worried expression. It was obvious that he cared for her, but she felt offended. She often got offended quickly. Her dad said that she takes it from her mother who was always angry at the smallest things.

"Why would I! It would just make everything worse so just don't bring it up ever again"

"But still. If you're going to work with us and he'll be there-"

"Can you not? I can handle this on my own so don't butt in"

Jiah walked over to him and pulled Yujun off of his back. The girl groaned in pain because of her headache and could barely stand straight. Jiah tried to hold her with her hand, forgetting how heavy drunk people actually are. 

"You're fine" Jiah then said to her friend. "You can walk let's go"

"Wait, Jiah" Ricky walked over to her and handed his phone to her. "Give me your number. So I'm sure you got home okay"
