Thursday....

3:30 pm at 'Scenic Studio' photo studio.

"Mr. and Mrs. Son, this is the best photographer and videographer I know, Park Jinwoo" I said, introducing the parents' to my friend. "Yah, Chorong, I prefer to be called Jin Jin than Jinwoo" he said and I nodded.

"Mr. and Mrs. Son's daughter is getting married and they're wondering if they can hire you as the photographer at the rose themed wedding" I said with a smile. "Of course, but it's better if we talk in my office, so we can take care of things inside" said JinJin and lead the parents inside his office.

Naeun didn't come today and luckily, Jimin didn't either.

I hit my head remembering the stupid thing I did when I was sick. I looked at my hand and the scar was still there, I have a to wait a week for it to disappear. I cut my hand quite deep, every time I touch it, it hurts a bit.

I haven't seen Jimin since Monday after I kissed him and Taehyung visits my office more often now. For Sungjae, I'm trying to give him a promotion as a wedding planner but he said:

"But I like not doing too much work as an assistant"

"Whatever Sungjae, just tell me when you want it"

I've been visiting the 'Monsta X' bar more often, but just to be able to talk to Wonho. I've only been telling him the stupid things I did when I was sick because he can tell me what a guy would think.

For Bomi, TaeJoon proposed, because he was confused about what I said before and wanted to really be with Bomi. I approve of TaeJoon, because he has a lot of traits I approve of for Bomi.

My phone suddenly started ringing and I looked at the caller's ID.

Mr. Bartender Guy

I chuckled at the name I put on his number and answered the call. "Hello? Wonho? What's up?".

"Chorong? My friends were wondering if you're coming to the bar again tonight, the other's didn't really see your face clearly before" Wonho said and his voice was stuttering.

"Wonho? Are you stuttering? Of course I'm going back to the bar tonight. Bomi's having a pre-honeymoon with TaeJoon and I'm free the entire night" I said.

"Ah? Ah, Okay then, see you later" he said then hung up.

I let out a deep sigh when I stared at my phone. Ever since I got drunk, I'm starting to like the taste of alcohol but I'm not really supposed to.

Bomi was so excited when TaeJoon proposed to her and when I asked her if I would plan her wedding, she said:

"Are you kidding me? I will not add up more work for you, you never have time to date so I'll give you the chance now while you're not planning another wedding"

I swear, my friends care too much. I started looking at all the photos hung in the studio. The ones hung are the ones who came to his studio the most. Fun fact, Koreans take a family photo or separate photo every year so in case someone dies, they have a recent photo of that person.

Creepy, but true.

I found a picture on the far left of the wall, it was a group of boys making funny faces with one girl in the middle. I titled my head in confusion, it look familiar for some reason. I slowly approached the picture and recognized the group of kids in the picture.

It was Jimin's friends and me. I smiled because I could easily recall when the picture was taken, it was taken by JinJin's father though.

"Okay Kids, I'm about to take the picture!" said the photographer.

Suddenly, the guys behind me started doing funny poses while I wasn't looking at them.

"One, Two, Three" Click.

I let out a deep sigh and smiled at the picture, I looked at the date written on the corner of the picture. 12/12/12 I still remember the scar I got on my knee when I tripped on the way to the photo studio.

I seriously need a drink later. "Ms. Chorong!" I heard Mrs. Son shout. "Yes Mrs. Son?" I asked. "Naeun told me you'll plan the bachelorette party too, don't bother for the bachelor party, okay? You might have too much work to do" said Mrs. Son, and I just nodded.

"I know just the place for the bachelorette, but I'll send out the invitations to the female guests for you Mrs. Son" I said. "Is that alright?" she asked. "Of course, it's fine" I said then after time quickly passed, the Sons went home and I went to the bar Wonho works at.

I went inside and sat at the bar. "Oh, you're here" Wonho said and a smile grew on his face "yeah, I came, can I have Soju?" I asked and he nodded. "Are you the one named Chorong?" another bartender came to me and I hesitantly nodded.

"I'm Shownu, Wonho's boss. He told us how you got drunk" Shownu said and when he smiled, he looked like a bear. "I'm Chorong" I said and we shook hands. Wonho came back and handed me a glass with Soju and a bowl of peanuts. "What's with the peanuts?" I asked. "So you won't get drunk again, I'm not going to drive you home" he answered.

"I won't get drunk, don't worry I'm not tha-" "Are you Ms. Chorong?" asked a waiter with a bright smile and bright colored hair. "Yes, and you are?" "I'm Minhyuk" he said and I shook his hand. "Yah, Minhyuk-ah, get back to work" said Shownu. "Yes hyung!" he saluted Shownu and I giggled.

I drank my shot of Soju and refilled it myself. I stood up because my legs were getting cramps then I tripped backwards, I lost my balance and someone caught me. He wasn't someone I knew, but he looked like a waiter in the bar.

He helped me back on my feet and said "Are you Ms. Chorong?" he asked and I nodded, wow he was really tall. "I'm Hyungwon, Wonho told us a few things about you. Are you drunk?" he asked me and I hiccupped in response. While laughing, I said "hehe hic, maybe".

Hyungwon carried me bridal style and brought me inside Shownu's office. "Wait here" he said and left me inside. I fell and sat on the floor. The door opened and I found Wonho with his phone in his hand as he dialed someone.

"Yeah, she's drunk, I'm not going to drive her home again" said Wonho on the phone. "I'm sure she prefers you more than me" said Wonho "really? Alright then see ya". He hung up and kneeled down beside me.

I suddenly remembered when I kissed Jimin, I'm such a stupid person.

Jimin is getting married. Park Jimin is getting married, and I'm the person who's making that wedding happen. Jimin is getting married. I kept telling myself these words but it wasn't working at all. "Chorong? Are you crying?" Wonho wiped my tears. I opened my eyes but my tears were making my vision blurry.

I shook my head and grabbed Wonho's neck and hugged him. I buried my face in his shoulder and let my tears continue to fall. He patted my back an let me cry, I'm sure I'm acting like this because I'm drunk and not because I want to.



Chorong kept letting her tears fall on Wonho and all Wonho thought he could do was let her cry. No one can stop how a drunk person feels because their true emotions really come out when they're drunk. The alcohol stops them from hiding their feelings.

On the other hand, after being called that his close friend got drunk, Jimin hurried as he went to the bar to pick Chorong up. He entered the noisy and loud music filled bar.

He called out to a waiter and asked "excuse me, but where can I find someone named Chorong?". His name tag said 'Hyungwon' and he said "ah, you must be here to pick her up, she's in the office" and pointed to where it was. I nodded and slowly entered the room .

Only to find that the girl he came for was hugging the one that had called Jimin.

He felt the pang of guilt hit his chest when he saw her crying on Wonho's back. He stepped back and quietly closed the door, making sure he didn't catch either of their attention.

Jimin closed the door and let out a really deep sigh. He took out his phone and felt like he'd regret what he'd text Wonho but did it anyways:

Jimin: You take her home, I'm busy and make sure you're still with her when she wakes up. Okay?
