Opening my eyes, I groaned as I felt a horrible headache and nausea induce inside me. 


I focused my blurred vision and caught sight of a ceiling with a light fixture. Strangely, it wasn't the one from my dorm room.


I slowly sat up, my back aching and my mind groggy.


Where am I?  


Brushing my hair back and holding a hand to a spot that was hurting on my head, I turned to my right, seeing Jungkook next to me fast asleep. His arms were outstretched and wrapped around me like a sloth.


When I looked around the room, the furniture and surroundings were all unfamiliar.


Is this Jungkook's room...? His house?


As I rubbed my neck and tried to make sense of what was going on, the events from yesterday came flooding back in my thoughts. 


The cake, the drinks, the mess of words I said.... Just what did I get myself into a few hours ago?! 


I let out a long sigh, unable to make sense of the idiot that took over me yesterday. 


Those drinks must've been strong alcohol. 


I usually get knocked out fast and sleep but because there were intervals between eating and drinking yesterday, it might've come on slower than usual, which probably explains the slew of actions from yesterday...


Is there something you want me to say? For example...I love you, Jungkook.


Honestly, what in the world was I thinking!? Sigh, Jungkook was right. I really did not know what I was doing in those moments...


I got up slowly from the bed, careful not to make any noise, and went to get myself some water for my parched throat. 


The kitchen tiles were cold under my feet.


After filling a glass, I gulped down the liquid and finished it in one shot, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand.


Before I went back to the room for another session of much needed sleep, I made a detour and looked around the house out of curiosity. Everything seemed so sleek and sharp but something in the corner caught my eye. 


Small pictures in frames stood displayed on a shelf, creating a more cozy and heart warming part to this pristine house. 


My lips curved up in content.
