Yuanfen : Destined To Be Together

Chapter 25

Jimin

-"What?"

-"Yes, can you please come and take her home? She's not coming with me."

-"How did it happen?"

-"I don't know. I guess her drink got swapped with someone's alcohol."

Gosh, this woman.

-"Okay, stay there until I arrive."

I sighed with a smile of disbelief. She never drank alcohol? 

I was in my studio, busy writing lyrics with the members, when Chaein called. What made her suddenly crave to go to a club?

***

When I entered the club, I tried to spot Chaein while talking to her on the phone. The loud music made it even harder to listen to her. 

When I finally spotted her waving at me, I walked to her, only to be welcomed by a dead-to-the-world Nandini.

-"My goodness, what..." I trailed off in disbelief as I counted the empty glasses around her.

She chose to drink thirteen glasses on her first time? Wow....

-"I tried to stop her, but she didn't listen." Chaein sighed heavily, clearly exhausted by handling her all the while.

I chuckled softly. My eyes fixed on Nandini's slumped-over form.

-"Thank you for staying with her. I'll take her home."

Chaein bowed to me before leaving, which I reciprocated. 

I cleared my throat before sitting beside Nandini, suddenly feeling nervous.

I blinked for a moment, realizing I might need to carry her home. 

My ears heated up at the thought.

Aish, Jimin. Focus.

I cleared my throat again, tapping her shoulder to see if she was awake or not.

-"Nandini...."

She caught me off guard by sitting up abruptly, looking disheveled and.....adorable.

-"wHo aRe yOu?"

I frowned slightly, but then chuckled softly, realizing she really is dead to the world.

-"Guess?"

-"wHy dO yOu...loOk faMiLiar...?" She squinched her eyes, either suspecting me or trying to recognize me.

-"You should go home, you know. It's late." I spoke, not being able to hold back my smile, seeing her looking as cute as ever.

-"nO...I...wAnt tO dRinK tHat mOree..." She tried to get up.

I got up with her, trying to hold her back but not quite touching. But when she stumbled on her feet, I held her by her shoulders.

The mere closeness made my heart race slightly.

-"You've drank enough. Let's go home." I spoke firmly but in a soft tone.

-"wHY wOulD I gO WiTh yOU, hUh??? wHo ArE yOu??? I dOn'T kNow yOu..."

My lips twitched at the corners from her words. She tried to get herself free from my grip.

-"lEaVe mE!!!" 

She tried to wriggle free, but sadly, she didn't have that strength. I chuckled, tightening my grip on her shoulders slightly.

She suddenly gave up her already failed attempts to get free and leaned on me, resting her head on my shoulder.
