Music was blasting from the speakers and my gaze was focused on two figures on the dance floor. The colourful lights of the Ace of spades club were dancing over faces and every now and then they stopped on theirs. Baekhyun was as serious as ever, sipping a beer and making only slight, barely noticeable movements in the rhythm of the music. Hwasa on the other hand was so drunk that she could barely stand, but still persistently sipping her cocktail and hanging on him. She clearly wasn't thinking completely straight, but he wasn't trying to push her away from him either.

'' Why are you glaring at him so much tonight? '' Seulgi dropped down on the bar stool next to mine and leaned closer to me. Her dark hair was tied in two ponytails and bouncing with every mood that she made. She barely returned from her meeting with Junmyeon and some other members of the gang, but her tight dress was already attracting looks filled with lust. My gaze trailed over her figure too, then she leaned with her hand against my knee and brought her face closer to mine. '' Your face is weird, so I can't figure out if you are trying to picture Baekhyun naked or dead. Something happened on the way back from Incheon, didn't it? Did you try to sleep with him and he said that he wasn't interested? Wanna find comfort in someone else's bed- ''

'' It's not that, '' I muttered in the middle of my sentence, frowned and took my eyes off Baekhyun. It was two days since the incident on the way back from Incheon and we barely said a word to each other. In reality, the only thing I told him was the truth about why I ended up in jail. He was disappointed that I lied to him, but he said that he believed me. He took one look in to my eyes and said that he believed that I didn't really kill anybody. But he still distanced himself from me, because he could tell that there were more things that I was hiding. 

Seulgi took a sip of her cocktail and held it in my direction. I wrapped my lips around the straw that was in her mouth just a few moments ago. She watched me sip her cocktail before she glanced towards Hwasa and Baekhyun again and rolled her eyes. '' You're being dramatic. Want me to take you to the dance floor and show you what's actual sexual and suggestive dancing? Baekhyun is just being Baekhyun and Hwasa... Well, she's going through a tough time. Junmyeon is trying to protect her to the point that he's becoming almost obsessive and she's having a hard time dealing with it. I'd be too if my dead brother's friend was trying to chain me in his basement to make sure that no one could ever hurt me. ''

In a way, I really appreciated Seulgi's blunt honesty and mocking comments. She managed to calm me down and make me realise that I was blowing things way out of proportion. I forgot that Baekhyun was a unique person, with a special way of thinking when it came to things like this. Years ago he left the police academy and he still resented Ravi, who chose not to come with him that day, only to become a criminal just a little later. He made friends very slow, but when he did, he really cherished those relationships, so it truly hurt him when the other person did something that he saw as betrayal.
