"Let's toast for the successful event!" Jake hyped the group holding a bottle of soju.
"Cheers!" Saad ni Keen dahilan para magsunuran ang mga miyembro ng student council. They all click their bottles and took a sip while smiling at one another. The festival ended successfully earning them a headline from the local news tabloid.
Nasa loob sila ng isang bar owned by Chrys' family. The loud music is heard from below kaya hindi na napigilan ng ilan na sumayaw. Erin roam her eyes around the room. Nasa VIP section sila sa second floor kaya kitang-kita ang buong bar even just by sitting.
People dance and drink on the dance floor, a color of red and purple illuminated the dim club, while some chill on a table nodding their heads as they look at the people having fun. Erin notice how confident everyone is, no one gives a damn whether their dress is too short for their fitting, whether their shirt were slightly stained with the alcohol they've been drinking. In here, everyone is free to do what they want. This is Erin's first time in a bar, it's her first time tasting liquor too. Everything is new to her, which made her look like a lamb inside a wolf cage.

"Congratulations everyone!" Muling sigaw ni Keen as he raised his glass of liquor and everyone raise their glass and bottle as well.
"Lasing ka na ba? Kaka toast lang natin kanina" sigaw ni Saki kay Jake ngunit hindi siya nito narinig. Instead, Jake went to down the dance floor. Halatang lasing na ito dahil pa zigzag na ito mag lakad, he even almost bump into a couple of girls on his way down.
Milo gestured his thumb from the left neck sliding to the right at itinuro si Jake who's struggling to keep his feet together. Hindi pa ito nakakalayo, they can still see Jake taking a very cautious step down the stairs.
"Me?" Chrys asked Milo while pointing to himself.
"He's your responsibility" saad ni Milo, taking a sip from his beverage.
"Why me? He's responsible for himself"
"Do you seriously think he can handle himself? Mukha na siyang matandang hindi makalakad. This is your bar"
"Let Leeon handle him, he's the oldest among us" singit ni Saki habang nire-refille ang baso ni Keen.
"He's not here" if it weren't for Yuna, they wouldn't notice that Leeon did not even speak a single sentence, because he's nowhere to be found. Agad na tumayo si Chrys at nag panic, his head turn left and right hysterically looking for any sight of Leeon.
"Shit, hindi ko napansin. Has anyone seen Leeon?" Tanong ni Chrys sa kasama nilang sc members, the others shook their heads, the others shrug —too drunk to respond nor care about whom is missing.
