Chapter 13

Yannie's POV

Saturday came and I'm preparing for the party with the skateboarders I met weeks ago. Anyway, I received a message from Hanbin saying he can't come because he has errands to do. I replied "I'll be fine" even though I'm really not. I want him to come with me!

I wore a black ripped jeans paired with a white croptop and a denim jacket.

Yoonjin volunteered to fetch me. I insisted but he assured me that it's fine. I texted him to fetch me in front of the mini-stop and gave him the address of the place.

I don't wanna tell him, neither the others, about my house. I don't want them to pester me when we got closer.

'Except him, of course.'

I also messaged Somi about this. She didn't agree at first, but I have convinced her. I opened my GPS so that Somi will be able to track me in case of emergency.

It's not that I don't trust these guys. It's for my safety after all. Besides, I'm not a party person and I have a low-tolerance on alcohol.

'Why did you agreed to them at the first place?' My brain asked. I can't help but to roll my eyes mentally. To try out things, of course. I've been living inside a box in my entire life.

"We're here," I can hear the loud beat of the music from here.

We entered the house, that I assumed, Yoonjin's. The smoke filled the air and red cups are everywhere.

I sat on the couch together with Yoonjin.

"What drink do you want?" He asked.

"I don't drink," I answered honestly. He smile and and grab my wrist. What is he trying to do?

"Come on! Don't be a kill joy," I sighed, defeated and followed him. Right, I'm here to try out new things.

We headed on the part of their house where drinks were served. I didn't know it exists. We only have a wine counter at the house.

"Choose," He said and pointed a stack of different drinks.

"I want a wine with the lowest alcohol content," He laughed and shook his head.

"You're really something," He said between his laugh. I shrugged and didn't mind him.

He gave me a wine. A strawberry one and it tastes so so so goood! I check the alcohol content and it says 10%.

My body started to heat up after several shots. The others also went in our place and took time to talk to me. They were actually nice but their habits.

"Silence! I have an announcement for everyone!" Yoonjin shouted, stopping us from our businesses.

"I would like you to meet the new member of our skating team, Yannie!" Everyone welcomed me with warm eyes and comforting words-except one.

Her glare send chills to my spine. Sewon. It's not that I'm afraid or what, I just wanted to not to make a scene here and ruin the party.

I ignored her and focused to the people who were busy welcoming me. I showed them my eye smile in return.

"5 red cups for Yannie!" Yoonjin shouted. My eyes widened.

"No no no! I d-don't drink. H-he he he, I stuttered and wave my hands.

"Drink up! Drink up!" Everyone in the house shouted. I covered my face because of the attention I am receiving.

And then from a distance, I saw Sewon smirked at me. She raised her brows while smirking. Her expression shouts coward.

I accepted their challenge and drank the first cup.

I almost vomit from drinking the first cup of soju! Dang! It stings!

They all cheered for me. I smiled at them in return.

A cup turned into three. I was supposed to drank the fourth one when Rowon stopped me.

"That's enough," He said firmly. I shoved his hand away.

"Gwaenchanha..." (It's okay) I give him an assuring smile.

His eyes looked at me with a hint of concern. I smiled at him again and drank the fourth cup.

I took some chips and ate it. I drank my last cup and again, the crowd cheered for me. Yoonjin gave me a wide smile and a thumbs up. Meanwhile, I can see Rowon sighing from here.

I stayed for few hours and make friends with some skaters. Although the smoke from their cigarettes are quite annoying.

I checked the time on my wrist watch. 11:48 pm.

It's already midnight.

I texted Somi to pick me up. I can't go home alone at this time knowing my house is an hour and half away from here.
-
To: Somi ♡
Somi-ah... Can you please pick me up here? I walk home alone bc it's late already ㅠㅠ
-
I waited for her reply but she didn't respond so I went outside to catch for a signal.

I sat on the bench to calm myself. I'm dizzy but I can manage. My phone vibrated after a few minutes.
-
From: Somi ♡
An hour and half :))
-
I smiled after seeing her reply. I sat comfortably at the bench and waited.

'I still have an hour and half.' I thought to myself.

I look up and stared at the starry sky. I've never done stargazing since I left my family. They like astronomy so much. Ah... I miss them already...

--

After an hour and half, I saw a car stopped in front of the gate. My vision is getting blurry and blurry.

'It must be Somi.' I thought to myself.

I stood up and opened the gate.

"Somi-ah..." I whispered and chuckled. I'm feeling dizzy for real. My visions are blurry.

"Omo! Yannie-ssi!" (*Gosh) Oh? When did Somi sounded like Hanbin?

"Ya... Stop mimicking Hanbin, will you?" I slightly slapped her face.

"You're drunk. Let's go home," She said, annoyed. She walked me to the passenger seat.

"Somi-ah... Are you mad?" I said and caressed her cheek.

"You're not going to drink again," It's real. She's mad.

"I'm sorry..." I said and hugged her.

She seemed shock. I chuckled at her reaction.

"Ya! What's with that... re...action...?" And then everything went black.
