So! Situation assessment? Let's paint a scene.

You're sprinting down an empty street, a hollering slightly-tipsy Jung Hoseok-ssi beside you and two of his friends stringing you along. It was twelve o'clock and you were not nearly awake enough to handle it.

"Y/N-ssi, DON'T LOOK BACK JUST RUN!" Hoseok screeched beside you, his wild eyes capturing the beginnings of your head turn. You squawked at the sight of the... Thing gaining ground and pumped your legs harder.

How did you get here? 

Great question!

It's only as the evening went on, and as everyone around you became progressively drunk did you notice their true personalities. The only two people who refrained from drinking was Hoseok-ssi (on the account on his apparent Asian flush) and you, for obvious reasons. The former was not totally abstaining, as you had caught him taking a few sips from Solmi's makgeolli bowl. Of course, they now all thought you were incredibly rude for refusing a drink from your elders, but Jae-su had drunkenly stood up for you and defended your choice.

+10 Jae-su points for defending your position.

"She's not comfortable drinking around strangers!" That was the reasoning she had decided on, and honestly; was a lot closer then you pegged her for. At the mention of them being strangers, all of her friends began to raise protests.

"Y/N-ah! I thought we were closer than that!" Jennie pouted, setting down her chopsticks and crossing her arms.

"We're practically family, man!" Lucas argued, pointing at you, but there was a teasing lilt to it. You rolled your eyes, a small smile tugging at your lips. They'd grown at you, you'd admit that.

When Jae-su was with Solmi, it was like you were third-wheeling on a date. She was the only person who you sort of knew, which was why it was so much more awkward when she was only talking with her. They kept to themselves, huddling together as the night progressively went on. You're sure she didn't mean to exclude you, but it happened anyway.

Hence the -5 Jae-su points.

She then decided to ditch you.

-200 Jae-su points.

"Y/N-ah!" She gasped, suddenly, surprising Hoseok-ssi, Solmi, and you.

Hoseok was actually surprisingly easy to scare, something the others seemed to already know and exploit. But he also seemed to be a lot more observant then he let on, so you'd have to keep an eye on him. It wasn't like your... special... disability was something that you wanted to keep a secret, but everyone thought you were just making it up or being a quote 'attention whore' end quote. You'd noticed how his eyes had scrutinised your small flinches every time someone's hand gestures got too out of hand, or when Jae-su playfully batted you on the shoulder.

Jae-su slapped you on the shoulder again, the shoulder thankfully clothed by your long sleeves.

"Y/N! I just remembered I have to do something with Solmi- is it cool if you get back to the dorm alone?" Jae-su turned to you, practically pleading with her eyes.

Solmi rolled her eyes, her lightly inebriated state showing in the way she slurred her words. "Jaeee.... You can't just let your freshie friend go back to the dorms alone! It's dangerous... "

Jae-su inhaled sharply, bobbing her head quickly, eyes wide. "She's right! She's right! It's dangerous! Lucas, can you-"

Lisa and Jennie were already hauling the snoring boy to his feet, each taking one of his arms and slinging around them to hold him up. All three of them were out for the count. And with Solmi leaving with Jae-su to do whatever, that left...
