"I tried to give her the antidote. I always keep it with me. I do. I never knew that it won't work. How am I supposed to live with the guilt that I couldn't save her?", she bows down her head on the table with a bump. The glass falls down from her hand and breaks scattering the glass pieces everywhere on the thick, expensive, lush maroon carpet. The liquor in it splashes on her jeans.

"You are drunk. Please stop it now. Nothing is going to come out of it." Yoongi keeps his hand on her back and tries to comfort her.

"I was supposed to forget about it while drinking. Why do I keep remembering her? She was not even my friend. This guilt. I feel like I have blood all over my hand. It keeps coming back. I failed again. I couldn't save her too." , Atzy keeps her head down and continues to grit her teeth.

"You are not the guilty one. You never will be. All you did was trying to save her. You couldn't. That's it. It was not in your hand."

"Yoongi. Yoongiaaaahhhh. Why do I keep failing to save everyone? I failed again. I couldn't save her too. Back then I was small. It was out of my hand. But now? What about now? I keep failing. I ...I ...keep....failing." she dozes off while trying to reach for Yoongi's hand.

Yoongi sighs looking at her state.

"You keep trying to save people who are not even your close. Yet, you continue to hurt me. You keep hurting me Atzy. I kept searching for you for 12 years. And now that I find you...." Yoongi brings his face near her.. " You...you.....why are you not acknowledging me? Don't you remember me? Kim Je Hwa.....my Je Hwa...don't hurt me like this anymore. Please don't. I didn't find you just to lose you all over again. I didn't."

Yoongi keeps staring at her while resting his chin on his hand and her breathing falling like a rhythmic sensation on his face. Yoongi closes his eyes and feels the sensation for some moments. Atzy's rhythmic breathing stops abruptly. She feels something unusual and open her eyes. She gapes at Yoongi being too close to her and opens her mouth to say something. Yoongi keeps his hand on her head to keep her in the same place and pecks her lips to see Atzy looking at him with widened eyes.

"Je Hwa? Who is Je Hwa?" she sits straight and gapes at Yoongi.

"I just kissed you and you are thinking who is Je Hwa?" Yoongi pulls her along with the revolving bar-stool that she is sited on towards him.

"I....I....ummm....why did you kiss me Yoongi?", Atzy says facing at the other direction.

"No. ask the question before that again."

"What question?"

"The thing that you asked just before you asked why I kissed you because I told you to ask that.", Yoongi says with smirk while his eyes keep growing darker.

"ahhhh....ummm....Je Hwa...Yes, that is the name. Who is Je Hwa?" Atzy moves back a little.

"The girl I just now kissed. She is Je Hwa. Rather, she was. She goes by Kim Atzy Ray now."
