Your Lips Belong To Me

35: catching up

JEONGYEON

After I changed into more comfortable clothes, I went back to the living room.

I found Jihyo already starting to drink the wine that she got from my liquor cabinet.

"Starting without me? Are you that eager to taste alcohol Park Jihyo?"

"You're so slow. I got bored"

I snickered at her response. She motioned for me to sit beside her as she started pouring a drink for me. I grabbed the glass and drank it straight as I sat comfortably on the couch.

"Don't you want snacks to eat?"

"I want chicken feet and tteokbokki, oh also kimbap"

"Wow, you didn't get full with lunch?" I took out my phone and opened the food delivery app.

"You asked what I wanted to eat" She shrugged off.

Jihyo nudged me, signaling me the newly poured liquid in my glass. I drank it straight and put it back on the table.

"How many chicken feet do you want" I asked.

"Order a box!"

"Spicy?"

"Half yes and half not"

"How about the tteokbokki?"

She handed me another shot before replying. "I am craving for the rose tteokbokki"

I gulped the contents of the glass and gave it back to her. "Damn. I just drank a shot and you're already pouring me another one. Kimbap?"

"I'm planning to get you drunk, so I could post funny pictures of you. Is there bulgogi available?"

"Psh. As if..." I closed my phone as I finished ordering the food. It will arrive at approximately 15 minutes.

"So... how's the girls?" I asked as she handed me my shot.

"I am the one here, yet you're asking about the girls?" She said dramatically.

"They're all doing fine. They missed you..."

"Then, we should have invited them over. So we can all catch up with each other" I suggested.

"Nope. I'll have you all for myself today. We can plan another meet-up another time"

I shook my head at her antics. "Really Park Jihyo? I never knew you were this possessive"

"I just missed my best friend. You know I am really upset about your sudden disappearance. I thought we swore to tell each other everything?"

"Sorry hyo. It's all so sudden too. I had to lie low because of safety issues. My father started training me stuff about the family business. I've got busy and I don't have any contact from you guys anymore"

"You're so stupid. Here.." She handed me another shot.

"Oh. I just remembered something. How are you and Sejeong?" I moved my brows up and down. with a teasing smile. Jihyo's face immediately turned red with the mention of the name.

My teasing got cut off when my doorbell rang. I stood up abruptly which caused me to get dizzy for a few seconds, but it subsided and I was able to walk properly to the door.

It's probably the delivery.

I opened the door and the delivery guy mentioned my name, so I nodded as a confirmation.

"Thank you" I grabbed the plastics of food and closed the door.

"Food's here!" I shouted.

Jihyo helped me arrange the food we ordered on the glass table in the living room. I also turned on the television, just for background noise. I kept the volume low, so Jihyo and I could still hear each other clearly.
