Heeseung, along with Riki, arrived in the dining area of the latter's condominium unit.

Unlike in the living room and other part of the unit, the dining area only has few to none people. One of them is Yeojin who is sitting on one of the stool at the island, busy munching chips while bobbing her head along the loud music that is being played.

Heeseung went over to her and sat next to her, forearm resting on the island, body facing her.

Yeojin looked at him, eyes widening. "You're here already! " She spoke through the loud music.

Heeseung smiled then nodded. Unlike Yeojin who is completely sobber, Heeseung is a bit tipsy from the strong tequila Sunghoon brought earlier.

He snakes his hand around her waist while looking at her. "Let's go, hmm? I'll introduce you to my friends. "

Yeojin had to bite her lips to not scream. Heeseung never fails to make her giddy inside.

She nodded. "Okay! "

Riki tore his gaze from them and cleared his throat. He walked over the cabinet to take out some paper cups.

"You two should go first, I have to find the other bottle of that tequila. " He said, referring to that alcoholic beverage worth million of won.

Heeseung just nodded as an answer and guided Yeojin out of the dining area, leaving Riki looking at them from behind.

Upon entering an another corner, Yeojin have to hold the hem of Heeseung's shirt in order to not left behind. It's crowded. People are everywhere, dancing to the beat of the music.

"Excuse me, " she says, slipping through the ocean of people as she follows Heeseung who held her hand until they arrived at the entrance of balcony.

There are two figures in the balcony, if Yeojin isn't mistaken. She can definitely see their backs from the inside of Riki's wide ass unit.

Yeojin haven't met the entire group of friends of Heeseung. She only met Jay and Riki, but she has seen that Jake earlier when the said man was in the kitchen and the girls who are getting themselves a drink, are talking behind her about him.

That's how she got the little information she disseminated in their gc awhile ago.

"Where's Riki? " Jake, who is sitting on one of the stool, asked once Yeojin and Heeseung entered the balcony.

He's so handsome, they are all handsome what the hell!

"Still in the dining area. " Heeseung answered.

Yeojin moved her eyes when the said man who named Jake, looked at her. Her eyes, however, darted to the other man in the balcony. He is facing the railing but Yeojin immediately knew he is familiar. That back is well too familiar.

The loud music coming from the inside of the unit, the conversation Heeseung is currently having with Jake, they are all becoming faint sounds. Everything is becoming blurry.

The man turned around and faced them. "If Riki drink that— " he stopped when he saw her.

Fuck!

Yeojin isn't ready to face him yet. She is not ready to meet the man from her past.... The same man who abandoned her and gave her trauma. The reason why she hated SNU and popular people.

Yeojin faced Heeseung. She wanted to fake a smile but she couldn't. Instead, tears started forming in her eyes.

"I'll just go to the restroom. " She said then left the balcony, not waiting for Heeseung's response.
