Love Under Parasols

Heart Strings

Chewy pulled me away from the crowd and to a secluded place. She was quiet all through out but remained gentle when holding me. I feel guilty because after everything she did for me, I still end up choosing Jeongyeon mo matter how painful it was for me before.

Why can't I just stop loving that woman?

"Stop crying," she hugged me. "It's okay, Momo. I'm not mad," she repeated. I feel her sighing and patting my head.

"I'm sorry, Tzuyu," she shook her head and smiled.

"What did I say before? Your happiness is the priority, right?" I nodded. "Then you shouldn't cry. I'll do something about it, okay?"

I can see that she's hurt but she remained the smile on her face. My phone rang, it was Sooyoung-unnie. Of course, I answered it.

"Hello, Sooyoung-unnie," I greeted her.

"Yes, hello, Momo. Are you still here at the event?" she asked. I told her yes and I was just catching fresh air. "Can you do me a favor?"

"Of course, Unnie. What is it?" I looked at Chewy who was just staring at me, curious of what Sooyoung-unnie's favor too.

I heard her sigh, "Can you take Jeongyeon home? She's drunk. I usually take care of her but I'm kinda busy with the Japanese investors and I don't want other people to see her like that."

"Unnie, can't Mina do it? Or Jihyo?" I was uncomfortable with the idea of being with Jeongyeon right now.

"I already called them before you. Mina already left while Jihyo's talking to a producer from Spain," she explained. "I'm sorry, Momo. You're the only person I trust left."

I sighed, "Okay, Unnie." when the call ended, I looked at Chewy, "I need to go now."

"Do you need help?" she asked, worried.

"No, Chewy. I can handle this on my own. Thank you," I hugged her quickly and proceeded to look for that drunken blonde lady.

I found her sitting by the open bar and drinking. A girl was beside her, trying to flirt but she ignores her. I internally smiled. I went to them and took Jeongyeon's glass, "Ya," she lazily looked at me.

"We're going home," I told her. She grabbed her glass and drank it. "Yoo Jeongyeon," I said in a warning tone.

"Fine," she stood up but almost fell down. I caught her. The girl trying to flirt with her looked at me with mad eyes.

"Scram," I rolled my eyes at her. She scoffed and walked away. Maybe being one of the top artists in the company has its perks. I held Jeongyeon by her waist and walked towards her car. "Where's your car key?"

"Momoriiing," she leaned her head on my shoulder and chuckled. I sighed and grabbed her bag, looking for the key. When I found it, I put her at the back seat. "No! I wanna sit beside you!" she struggled to transfer to the passenger seat. I laughed at her state. I've never seen her so un-Jeongyeon like.

It's a good thing I know how to drive because Father made us take driving lessons. I drove to where Jeongyeon's place is. She was asleep beside me, drunk and wasted.

Just how much did you drink, Jeongeon-ah?

I parked her car inside her garage and woke her up, "Jeongyeon, come on. I can't carry you on my own. You gotta walk," I pleaded her. She looked at me with sleepy drunken eyes but she complied to what I wanted.

We reached her room and I almost fell with her on the bed. I removed her heels and placed them to where they were gotten. I also removed my heels and wore her slippers because I'm pretty sure she will not stand up anymore. I walked in to her closet and looked for a shirt that she can use because I know for sure that she will be disgusted to sleep with her party clothes.
