The Nearness Of You

Seungri

I slowly opened my eyes realizing I'm lying on the couch which made me a bit confused. I only sleep here everytime I took a nap when I'm too tired from work or if I'm doing a marathon of my favorite series. I don't remember being tired last night and haven't turned on the television for days.

"What am I doing here?" I mutter as I slowly sat up. All of a sudden I feel pain on my temples and it made me wince. I closed my eyes and tried massaging it while I try to remember the events that occured last night. I was in the bar where Jinnie works, I watched her perform and I approached her. I remember us talking. I don't remember drinking that much because I want to be clear headed if I'll go talk to her. But this headache feels like a result of a hangover. Was I drunk? Did I drink too much? I let out a groan. I hope I didn't do anything stupid in front of her like passing out or something.

I opened my eyes and saw a bottle of wine and two wine glasses on top of the center table and my eyebrows creased. One glass was smeared with lipstick. I definitely went home with a girl.

My eyes widened as I remember everything. It was her, Jinnie. Last night she was here with me. I went home with her because she wanted to. And that wine bottle! We had a drink! Finished all of it even. I also remember trying to kiss her and then all of a sudden she wanted to leave. I remember her telling me she had to go and I tried to stop her and then.. Well, that's all I remember.

"That's all I remember.." I mumble. What the hell happened after that? Then a terrible thought crossed my mind. "Aaarrgghh, Seungri-ah! Don't tell me you passed out in front of the girl you like!" I tell myself and smack my head. "Aish! You pabo!" I must've been very drunk! How stupid of me! "Aish! Jinjja waeyo?!" I stomped my feet. I'm embarrassed with myself.

I suddenly took glance at my watch and saw that it was already six o' clock in the morning. I have to get ready and fix myself. I have to get to work early today. I shook the thought of the events that took place last night and stood up. I'll have plenty of time to think about it later, right now I got to go to work.

I made it on time and arrived at the hospital around seven a.m. The first place I went into is the cafeteria. I badly need a cup of coffee, my head still hurts. I was getting myself a cup on one of those vendo machines when someone called my name. It was Yoongi. I acknowledge him with a nod.

"Good morning, hyung." Yoongi greeted me. "You look like you had a tough night." He also gets himself a cup of coffee.

"Hangover I guess." I motioned for the both of us to sit on one of the tables inside the cafeteria.

"You drank last night? Where?" Yoongi asks me with furrowed eyebrows.

"Yeah. I went at Central Bar." I answer him and took a sip of my coffee.

"Wait, you mean the bar where we saw that singer?" Yoongi asks me again.

"Jinnie. Yes. That's right."

"Well, did you see her?"

I nod my head. "Yup. We even talked." I tell him. "Hey, where's Yukii?" I try to change the subject.

"She's already having her rounds at the pediatric unit." Yoongi answered me. "Hyung, you're not telling me everything." He looks at me questionningly.

I pretend to laugh. "What made you say that, Yoongi?"

Yoongi didn't smile a bit. "Because I know you, hyung. When something good or bad happens to you, you never voice it out. You tend to keep things to yourself. It's only through your gestures why Yukii and I can tell that something's up with you."
