"Wake up..shit wake up!" Sunghoon whisper shouted, desperately shaking the Moon girl's shoulders back and forth till she awoke.

Her eyes squinted and she saw a disarrayed image of a figure holding their head. Sooyun's eyelashes batted as she came to open them fully which revealed none other than Park Sunghoon arranging pillows maniacally.

He turned around and bored his eyes onto her consequently displaying his uneven eyelids due to excessive rubbing and messy hair.

"Oh shit..shit they're here" he said, running his hand through his hair.

His voice further certified his being and immediately made Sooyun question,
"What the fu-"

"No time for questions" he quickly cut her off peeking through the windows and watching as his parents took suitcases out of the car. "You need to hide."

"Wha-"

Sunghoon eyes widened as he thought of a solution.

"Come. Follow me. Quickly"

He grasped onto her hand and pulled her off the sofa, then hastily rushed her up the stairs. Her neck worked over time, snapping around everywhere as they ran, desperately trying to make sense of her surroundings.

Finally he shoved them into a room and slammed the door shut, leaning on it and holding his chest. Sooyun stared at him in utter perplexity.

He quickly opened his blinds and gasped. The cars. The yolks on the cars. The eggshells next to the cars. The egg carton sitting directly next to the cars. His life flashed before his eyes when they landed on his parents pointing and making shocked expressions at the egged cars. He was screwed.

Sunghoon placed his hands over his face and rubbed it.

"Sunghoon what the hell is going on? Why am I in your room?!"

His attention shot to the girl seated on his bed. He had almost forgotten she was there and was now pressing his hands over his head to block out her quieries.

"Shut up will you? ..always giving me a headache" he mumbled the last part under his breath.

She narrowed her eyes and huffed then shook her head.

"Right..last night we went to a party. Remember?" He spoke to her slowly, unsure of how good her memory would be after getting so drunk.

She listened to his words, rejogging her memory.

"Yeah..?"

"..well we both got drunk..and then we came here, to my house..and then we egged my parents' cars-"

"We what?!" She exclaimed.

"..yeah" he tilted his head towards the window. "See?"

Sooyun stood up, walking to the window and peeping through the blinds towards the yellow smeered cars.

"Oh God.." she gaped.

"And then we fell asleep on my couch." He finished.

"No..there's no way.." she shook her head, muttering vulgar words underneath her breath.

She backed away from the window and leaned against an open wall in the bedroom. Why did she rebel? It wasn't worth it. She should've known something bad would've happened and guess what? She was an idiot. She couldn't do anything right. She shouldn't have been having fun and getting drunk like the countless other teenagers at the party were. She should've been home, studying and revising. She was useless. She couldn't even party without fucking up.
