Jake's eyes darkened as he saw his best friend and enemy's lips connect. It wasn't because of jealousy but betrayal. How could the person who knows just how deep his hate was for someone, go and kiss them? And why.. why was the person who he knew revolted these actions not stopping it?

Heejin could feel Sunghoon's hand placed on her cheek, keeping her in place. His lips were against them hers moving in sync. She pulled away once air withdrawal was too much for her.

Cheers erupted around the room as Sunghoon returned to his seat in the circle, getting impressed and encouraging nods from everyone. Well, everyone but Jake. He, on the other hand, kept his eyes pinned on the blushing girl across him who was currently being wooed on by Karina. His gaze was piercing when he saw Heejin's lips upturn, a strange feeling churning in his gut. There it was again, his anger at her happiness-but this time it felt worse knowing he wasn't the cause.

"His lips are soft right?!"
"His hands too?!"

Karina had both of her hands planted on Heejin's shoulders, shaking them back and forth in pure excitement while asking numerous questions about the kiss.

"Yes, yes and" the Lee girl put her hand on Karina's which was resting on Heejin's shoulder "why aren't you mad?"

She couldn't comprehend why Karina wasn't annoyed at her. She just made out with the girl's massive crush.

"Why would I be mad? You finally let loose.. plus I'm gonna make you describe this a thousand times so I can imagine it's me kissing him"

Heejin chuckled, feeling slightly uncomfortable as she felt a sharp stare on her from the other side of the circle.

💫

"You're leaving already?" Heejin nodded in response to Jay's question.
"She's wasted" she bobbed her head to Karina who was gripping onto her arm with her head resting on Heejin's shoulder "and I have work in the morning"
Jay nodded.
"Fair enough. Get home safe yeah" he turned his head and yelled "WHOS UP FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF BEER PONG" causing many deep voices to start roaring.

Heejin chuckled and began making her way to the exit of the house while the drunk girl hanging onto her was dragged with. She managed to push past everyone and open the door, securely getting Karina out first. The girl's lips parted as she sighed. They should have decided on a DD (designated driver), although Heejin wasn't as drunk as Karina she had still taken alcohol and therefore should not be driving.

"What are you waiting for~..let's gooo" Karina slurred out.
"Karina we've both drunk I can't drive us..it's not safe" her hand went up to her forehead and she rubbed it tensely, trying to come up with solutions.
A giggle escaped her friend's mouth.
"Heejinnnn..let's ask themm"
Heejin frowned before her eyes and head followed Karina's lazily pointed finger.

Jake, Sunghoon and Heeseung were also stood in the other side of the front drive talking as Heeseung smoked his cigarette. Jake's finger swinged a set of keys - assumably house and car while Sunghoon looked at the floor in a dazed manner.

"What?! No! Are you crazy?!" The Lee girl hissed out.
"Come onnnn...you live next door to Jake..and Sunghoon" she giggled one again while twirling a piece of hair with her finger "lives in my neighbourhood..he can drive my car home"

Heejin stayed silent as she debated the contribution. She considered it. She'd hated for the girls to get into an accident for drunk driving- what a shameful way to go. Plus it would be all her fault. She also knew that Sunghoon didn't drink and Jake wasn't going to if he was gonna drive home. But at the same time- asking Jake to drive her home?! ..her pride was about to disappear.
