Jennie's POV

"Get ready for school," Chen told me while we were eating breakfast.

I looked up at him half questioningly, half pleadingly.

"What?" he asked me stuffing his mouth with the egg.

"Jisoo told me to stay home today," I told him innocently.

"Why?" he inquired.

"She said that there is a rumour regarding the superman from last night... so...I should stay low profile for some days," I tried to satisfy him.

He nodded.

"Means I can stay at home?" I asked excitedly.

He nodded.

"Ahhh! You are the best brother ever!" I started stuffing my mouth with whatever I could find on my plate.

Chen smiled while looking down.

Xiumin's POV

Are you insane that you are drinking it so much?

"Let's go babe! There's nothing interesting happening here!" Banana pulled me out of the crowd by my hand.

I kept looking back at Jennie. She tried to show she was strong but I could tell that she couldn't bare a third bottle.

Banana pulled me in for a dance and brought be back to my senses.

"...umm! Ban - Ban-Hana! What are we doing here?" I asked her.

"Dancing!" she replied with a big smile.

I danced with her but mind kept thinking about Jennie.

"Let's go to my house," she dragged me out of the hall, down the stairs and out of the house as soon as the song ended.

I followed her not knowing what else to do.

It was recess. Banana was not with me yet. I decided to look for Jennie and ask her how she felt. I looked around the cafeteria. I couldn't find her in the cafeteria.

Maybe the basketball court then!

I went to look at the basketball court. She wasn't even there.

Where can this girl be?  Maybe she felt sick after all that soju in her!

I was afraid of her being sick. I decided to look for her friends or somebody who knew her. I saw Baekhyun drinking something while sitting on the gallery stairs.

"Hey Baek! Have you seen Jennie?" I asked him while sitting next to him.

"Why?" he smirked at me with his cute little eyes reducing to mere black lines.

Punk! He confused me!

"Umm... I had some work with her," I tried my best to make up a satisfying answer but failed.

"I can't see that," he smiled stupidly again, "If you wanted to ask if she is fine after yesterday..." he raised an eyebrow at me.

"Tell me!" I told him feeling a little uneasy.

"So that was the reason after all," he laughed, "She's fine."
