Liquid Truth.

Seulgi bit her lips uncomfortably as she watched the people beside her eat to their heart's content.

The Jimin's crew and Seulgi's writer crew had joined together for a once a month work get together. Frankly, she had been avoiding such meetings. It was nothing but older Sunbaes who forced their hobbies of drinking and fooling around unto others.

She was tired as well from the lack of sleep the night before and there was not a single friend she could talk to at the moment.

"Afternoon," Jimin cracked a smile as he entered into the reserved room for the workers. Seulgi sucked in a breath once she saw what Jimin was wearing.

A loose white work shirt doing absolutely nothing to hide his figure while a another set of piercings were dangling on his ears.

She could practically feel girls melting at the sight. Jimin trains his eyes to look at her and gives her a small wave before he sits with his co-workers a few seats away from her own.

Seulgi sighs.

She still felt lonely.

Once the beers had been poured onto everyone's cup, Seulgi watched the bubbly concoction fizz, shining against the light. She frowned and turned to Jimin who was already holding the cup as though it was nothing. One of the Sunbaes had already began to look around,waiting for all the employees to drink at his count.

" Seulgi-ssi? Aren't you going to drink?" The Sunbae asked raising an eyebrow. Jimin turned to see Seulgi and turned his head.

Seulgi nodded weakly and held the cup before the Sunbae raised his glass. Everyone began to chug down the drink and Seulgi took a breath before doing so. Disgusting.

The taste of bitter sweet envelope her tastebuds as she paused, queasy as she placed the drink back onto the table. The glass was half full and Seulgi couldn't bear to stare at it again as she wiped her mouth and hoped for the best.

She turned towards Jimin who finished his cup swiftly giving a smile to the rest of his friends as the food had been brought out.

Female coworkers had immediately offered to cut him meat, pour more beer and even take a love shot with him. Seulgi grimaced outwardly and felt her stomach churn. Her cheeks felt red and the air was already starting to suffocate her.

Seulgi stood up slowly, nearly tripping over her own feet as she stumbled over to the bathroom.

The bathroom was down a hall away and It's was already a hassle to get her own feet to the front door. Seulgi leaned against the wall and found her herself at the sink where she had threw up very ungraciously.

She should have never gone to the dumb party. Seulgi sighed and rinsed her face before stumbling back out to find a familiar someone waiting for her.

Ofcourse her vision was starting to blur so she couldn't capture the exact expression the person was holding.

" Seulgi," Jimin said worry lacing his tone,

" Park Jiimin," she smiled back, already feeling the drunkenness take over.

Jimim stared at her, eyes glimmering as she watches Seulgi's cheeks a bright red. Her lips her pursed tightly as she crinkled her nose and waddled outside into the cold.
