Honestly, the whole phone call was a bit of a blur after it ended. I couldn't remember what I asked for from my mum, and I was tempted to call again when I received a message from her.

I'll be there in 10 minutes, don't move.

I did what she asked, it was clear to me that I had angered her enough for her to be blunt over message. I sobered up at the thought she might scream and shout at me for being drunk when I have work the next day, and she probably thinks I'm risking my image by being drunk too. I looked around, the venue was in the middle of a street.

I don't know what street it was located on, I had never been here before. Yet, the street was completely quiet, all the shops were closed except this one. I sighed, and walked down the street to find some chairs and tables outside a closed café. A bar, and a café on the same street...I was glad to sit down after so long.

I like Halloween. I like dressing up and going out, even if I go out alone. It can be scary sometimes, but knowing there's so many people that dress up and party like I have tonight, makes me feel at ease. Tonight was really fun, I should go out more often-

"You shouldn't go out if you drink yourself stupid..." 

Ah, my mother was finally here.

"Omma. Let's go home." I smiled, it was the first time that I realised the darkness of the night had completely me completely lose all vision. I was so drunk I couldn't see straight in the darkness...

"I'm not your..." I heard her sigh, "Nevermind. Come on."

I stood up from the chair I had sat down in, and my legs and arms were tingling all funny. I giggled at the feeling but really it was uncomfortable. I followed my mum who was wearing some weird clothes, but I didn't mention it since I had woke her up. We got to the car, and I laughed as I opened the door. Nothing was funny, but I just needed to laugh.

"What you laughing at?" 

I sat down in the car, and picked at my tie. I then messed up my hair which felt a little heavy on the top of my head. My eyes were heavy too, so I wiped at them. 

"Ya...don't fall asleep when I drive." The voice spoke, and I just nodded. I so wanted to sleep right now...

"Don't be mad mum. I'm sorry for drinking..." I announced sluggishly, my mum most likely wont accept my drunk apology but I can try before I suffer from a hangover.

I heard another sigh, and the drive finally started. I looked out of the window, and realised my seatbelt was over my chest. I breathed in dramamtically.

"Woah mum, I know your mad at me but don't kill me!" I announced loudly, like a sudden switch flipped to give me a 5 second energy boast just to be dramatic.

I pulled the seatbelt over my chest, and plugged it in. I looked back out of the window again, the scenery going by quickly, and making my eyes water and my mind swirl. I closed my eyes willing the feeling of sick to go away. I don't want to make my mum even more mad by puking in her car. I don't really want to smell either.

"Rain-ah, why did you drink so much?" My mother was still suffering from her 'waking up' deep voice and I laughed.

Why did I drink so much tonight? Was it for fun? Was it to fit in with the others? What was it really for?

"I think..." I burped accidently, "I think because...I wanted to forget, just for tonight."

"Forget what? Did something happen in Busan?" The voice asked, but it seemed to get further away. I wasn't even sure I was sitting in the car anymore, "Hey...Rain-ah, don't fall asleep."

"Sorry..."

I was awoken back up when the car stopped. I groaned, my head had begun hurting a little and my eyes were strained. The darkness was still making everything a little difficult to see, and everything seemed 10 times louder than before. I was more aware, more sober, and more physically ready to hear my mum's bickering. Mentally, all I wanted to do was curl up into a ball and sleep.

"Where are we?" I asked, did she drop me off at my apartment or home home?

"At your apartment, where else idiot?" 

I squinted my eyes at my mum, never had she called me an idiot. I giggled, did she cut her hair? I need some eye drops, my eyes were so watery for some reason. I didn't know they watered so much when I got drunk, not that I actually got drunk a lot. I only came of age a few months ago. My first time drinking was at the beginning of the year when my hiatus started, that was a weird time.

"Your so blurry." I said, the sleepiness was truly right around the corner, until the hands started pulling me from the car.

"No wonder. How much did you drink?" 

"Hmmm, I can't remember when I started to be honest." I laughed then realised I shouldn't be telling my mum  this, "Omma, forget what I just said."

"Fuck sake, Rain. I'm not your fucking mother." The sudden anger from the voice sobered me up so more, and the sudden lack of honorifics told me the person helping me was really losing patience. I decided to shut up, and walk to my apartment with their arm around my waist to help me walk straight.

I opened the door, and messily kicked my shoes off, tripping over them and landing on my butt by the door. I heard another sigh, and I looked up in the darkness of my apartment. I couldn't see well, but those lips...I swear I saw those lips before. I watched as he kicked off his own shoes, and bent down to help me up.

Once I was settled on my feet once more, I walked down to my bathroom.

I recognised him. He was here again. I was to tired physically to speak to him and apologise. I hoped he would leave after I embarrassed myself, and then I can figure out how to apologise properly. Tonight, I was meant to be forgetting about him.

Anyway, I thought I rang my mum?

"Here. Let me help..."
