Twotenz III

The next two days...

"Yah, have you asked Yooyeon Saem if she actually has a boyfriend?", one of Nakyoung's friends started to open up a topic.

"Of course... Since day one this person here said that she has a boyfriend, i immediately find a time to meet and ask her myself", one of the men in Nakyoung's group of friends spontaneously pointing at her.

"Then, what's her answer?".

"She doesn't have it".

"A girlfriend?".

"No, she's not even in a relationship".

"HOKH!", suddenly Nakyoung who was slurping down her drink, coughed loudly out of shock.

"Mwoya.... What happened?", they started to get concerned about Nakyoung who is dying because of choking her drink just now. She's still coughing.

One of her friends that has been quiet since the first they started to gather around, caressing Nakyoung's back to ease her coughing and all Nakyoung could do is laughing awkwardly.

"Hahahahh... Ani... This... I saw a funny video", Nakyoung spontaneously gave an excuse to cover up the real reason why she's choking.

"Ahh... Hahahahh... I thought you were shocked by what we talked about just now".

"Are you okay now?".

"But isn't it good that she's single?".

And they started to get busy over someone else's business again after getting Nakyoung to calm down. And that one friend is still staring at Nakyoung. With a wither look.

Because she knows what kind of relationship Nakyoung and Yooyeon have right now. And this topic probably is hurting Nakyoung. It's obvious to her that choke is not because of one funny silly video. Then, she suddenly opens her mouth among them.

"Guys, we have started study week today, right?", purposely trying to get out of the topic.

"Eo".

"Oh, maja. Let's go to the library?".

"Geurae, kaja".

She successfully drifted them out of that topic. Then, they started to clean their desk and stood up. Before, Nakyoung suddenly called out that one friend of her to stop her from joining them.

"Lynn ah, can you teach me Japanese here?".

The one who is called Lynn is facing her back before slightly smiled and agreed to her request.

Kawakami Lynn is one of her friends. Her one friend that has been staring at her with a wither look. She's 4 years younger than Nakyoung but she acted like she's the oldest. But it's not like she's acting. She's just actually more mature than her other friends.

This friend knows the truth and has been feeling hurt if Nakyoung's hurt.

At night...

Nakyoung's class is having dinner party in a restaurant. It was a chilly night but they're making themselves feel warm by drinking.

It's actually one of Nakyoung's talents to have a high tolerance in drinking but today it's just not her day. Probably because of what her friends talked about earlier or maybe it's more than that. She drank more than she could handle.

"Guys, let me pour you another glass", Nakyoung wriggly hands trying to get her friend's glass to let her drink more. She's drunk but she still could ask others to get drunk too.

"Noo...~ It's fine...~ I might be drunk by now...h", her friend closed the mouth of her glass with her hands. She probably has gotten drunk too.

And suddenly she moves to her another friend's glass and immediately pours it. Then, to another glass and another one around her.

"Look, she's starting to ask us to get drunk too. Hahahh".

"Omo, she is drunk now".

"Here, fill Lynn's glass too. Hahahh".

"Noo....~", Lynn's whining with a cute tone. Her who was just sitting peacefully suddenly got interupted.

"Yaahh... How can she get home now?".

"Just look at how much she drank. I didn't even notice she drank this much".

"Was there anything happening to her today?".

They're all complaining about what might happen to this one and only over-drunk person until Nakyoung suddenly opens her mouth.

"Today...h. Hehehehh... I heard a REALLly bad news... How can she... Hehehh", this drunk Nakyoung suddenly wanted to expose herself with those eyes that seemed like couldn't be opened. But since there's no one who could actually understand her mumble, so she won't get easily exposed.

Lynn who is sitting next to the person that is next to the person who is sitting in front of Nakyoung just watching Nakyoung using her eyeballs only. She doesn't want to make it obvious. And right now Nakyoung's acting silly while waving around her glass.

She doesn't drink because drinking is not in her fav list. All she could do now is worrying Nakyoung who might suddenly actually expose herself.

"Hahh... If she's here i'll ask her right away why she did that... Like....h. I would understand if she doesn't want to get disturbed but... Tsk... And she's getting busy nowadays...~", Nakyoung's whining at the end of her confession and started to be a crybaby and hid her face in her arms that are on the table. Not as usual but since she's drunk, she did unusual things.

"What? Who is 'she'?".

"Perhaps she unconsciously swapped 'he' to 'she'".

Even though their friends know that Nakyoung probably is just mumbling but they actually get into the mumbleness just to let Nakyoung feel comforted since it's obvious that today might be her bad day.

They actually confuse if Nakyoung is talking about her friend or her lover. But if it's her lover, why 'she'? The question by her clueless friends.

And there's Lynn that is staying silent, not bothered to know the truth because she already knows. She's just hoping that Nakyoung will get drunk until she's asleep so she won't give too much information. Since right now Nakyoung seems like she's sleepy, so she thought the situation is safe now. But suddenly, someone asks an unexpected question.

"But, wait. Nakyoung is not single?".

They're looking at each other's eyes. Trying to find someone who could actually tell them the truth.
