"Is it really okay if we leave now?" Junkyu asked. Junkyu looked worried as he said that. It has been more than two hours since they were at the restaurant. And Jihoon doesn't even show any hint that he's going to stop anytime soon.

"Sure. You should go back to the dorm. It's almost curfew, right?" Hyunsuk asked.

"Yeah. I'll need to walk Yoshi too. He looked like he was quite drunk," Junkyu said. He looked at Jihoon who still kept on drinking. "Aren't you going back as well?"

"Why? There's still a lot of food and alcohol here," Jihoon said before he stuffed the chicken in his mouth.

"Yah. Are you going to make Hyunsuk bankrupt or something?" Junkyu whispers.

"It's okay. This much won't make me bankrupt overnight," Hyunsuk said. "Don't worry. I'll look after him. You can go back to your dorm now. Walk Yoshinori home as well. I'll make sure Jihoon will be home safely,"

"Thanks, Hyunsuk. I'll treat you to something next time," Junkyu said.

"You don't really need to," Hyunsuk said.

"Let's go home, Yoshi-ya," Junkyu said. The two guys walked out of the restaurant. Hyunsuk continued to drink after the two left.

"Ahjumma! Another bottle please!" Jihoon shouted. Hyunsuk sighed.

"Seriously?" Hyunsuk couldn't believe that Jihoon still kept on drinking. After another 2 bottles, Jihoon got really wasted. He couldn't even lift his head from the table but was still trying to drink more.

Hyunsuk looked at the amount of alcohol the taller guy had consumed. Hyunsuk can be sure that Jihoon will get a bad hangover tomorrow.

"I can still drink," Jihoon mumbled.

"You had enough already, Park Jihoon," Hyunsuk said. "Didn't you supposed to look after me to make sure I didn't tell your friends that you have kissed a guy? Why are you being the one who's wasted?"

After waiting for a few minutes, Hyunsuk decided to pay for the food and went back to their table as Jihoon is still not moving. Hyunsuk shook Jihoon's shoulder. Trying to wake him up. It seems like Jihoon is not sleeping but just really drunk.

"Time to go home now," Hyunsuk said.

"This is my home," Jihoon said.

"Seriously?" Hyunsuk then tried to drag Jihoon out of the restaurant. Right after they leave, Hyunsuk lets go of Jihoon. But he didn't expect that the taller guy would just throw himself to the ground. "Yah! Get up. We need to get you a taxi to go home,"

"I'm not getting up. I don't need a taxi. My place is just a few blocks away from here," Jihoon said.

"Really? So, you can get home yourself, right?" Hyunsuk asked. Jihoon who's still lying on the ground nodded. "Okay, then. I'm going home,"

Hyunsuk decided to just leave Jihoon there. He didn't really have the need to take care of Jihoon anyway. They are not even close. And if Jihoon said that he can get home himself, then let him be. Hyunsuk already took a few steps away from Jihoon and about to stop a taxi.

Hyunsuk turned his head at the still lying on the ground Jihoon. There are some of the customers who left the restaurant and looked at Jihoon weirdly. Hyunsuk sighed. He walked back toward Jihoon and squatted beside him.

"Where do you live?" Hyunsuk asked.

After getting the information from Jihoon, Hyunsuk decided to carry Hyunsuk to the apartment where Jihoon lives. It's just a little more than one km from the restaurant they were at. Even if it's not that far, carrying someone who's a few inches taller, and with a bigger build than you, can definitely be exhausting.
