Y/n stared blankly at the amber liquid swirling in her glass, the dim lights of the private bar room reflecting off its surface
The mansion was quiet, too quiet, except for the ticking clock somewhere in the background. She brought the glass to her lips, taking a long sip. The burn of the alcohol down her throat didn't ease the weight in her chest
"Don't worry princess, I do plan on putting you in my battle field, and that will be soon enough" His words echoed inside her like a vicious chant.
Putting me in his battlefield... She let out a shaky sigh, placing the glass back onto the counter a bit too harshly, making the ice clink against the glass
What was she even doing? Drinking like this during evening, her fingers tightened around the glass
She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear the door open until a soft voice broke through the silence
"Ma'am..." Jules' voice called out for which Y/n turned around quickly
"Yes?"
"Sir has been looking for you" Jules spoke again, her eyes flicking to the almost empty glass in Y/n's hand before lowering respectfully
Y/n swallowed, feeling her throat go dry despite the drink. "Looking for me... why?"
"I'm not sure ma'am but he need you in his study"
Of course. There was always a reason with Jungkook. She let out a small humorless laugh under her breath, finishing the last sip of her drink before placing the glass down neatly
She turned towards Jules again, forcing a small smile to her lips. "Thank you for letting me know, You can leave now"
Jules bowed her head politely before stepping out, closing the heavy door behind her with a quiet click. Silence wrapped around her once again like a suffocating blanket
She wasn't planning to go. Not yet. Her gaze fell back to the rows of gleaming bottles lined perfectly on the shelves behind the bar
The reason she wanted to drink today, out of all days, was simple.. she needed to be drunk Completely out of her senses
Whatever was happening in her life recently felt too much to be even real. A twisted nightmare with no end in sight. The great escape, of course, was alcohol
Her eyes scanned the bottles before settling on the crystal-clear grey goose vodka. Without a second thought, she reached out, uncapped it, and poured herself a generous glass
Lifting it to her lips, she took a long gulp, the sharp burn searing down her throat like liquid fire, making her eyes water slightly
But she didn't care
She swallowed again, feeling the heaviness in her chest loosen just a little as the warmth spread through her veins
After a few minutes of silent drinking, the door opened again, this time with a knock. Y/n didn't bother to turn around, she was too drunk to be in her senses right now
"Drinking alone?" Sheldon's calm voice broke the silence, carrying a hint of quiet concern as he stepped further into the private bar lounge
Y/n scoffed softly under her breath, not bothering to look at him as she raised her glass again, swirling the remaining vodka lazily. "Don't tell me you're here to take me to him now"
Sheldon remained silent for a moment, his sharp eyes scanning the bottles littered on the counter before shifting back to her
"No, Just making sure you don't drink yourself dead before he gets to see you"
