Drunken Mixed-Up

Chapter 5 - Plus One: Part 2

(Continuation)

Previous: "It's just that I have two VIP passes for a concert tonight and I've been looking for someone to be my plus one, I hope you wont turn me down as well."

Byul's end of the line got silent.

"Is she asking me out on a date?  What do I say?" Byul thought.

"If I say yes, wouldn't I be cheating on Min Hyuk?" Byul had another thought.

"Calm down Byul! You are over-reacting again. Hwa Sa, you're new friend, is simply just asking you to accompany her to a concert because she has no one to go with. Just think of it as an advantage, you'll have the chance to get to know her more." Byul thought for once last time.

"Hello? Moon Byul? Are you still there?"

"What about Whee-in?" Moonbyul suddenly blurted out.

Byul heard Hwa Sa sigh on the other line.

"Had other plans with her family. It's alright Byul if you're not available, I can go alone. I guess I just gave myself some hope that someone will be able to accompany me to the concert that it didn't came to my mind that you might have other-"

"Ani (no), wait, that's not what I meant Hwa Sa."

Moon Byul did not hear a response on the other line but she was sure that the call was still connected.

"I was just surprised by your offer,"

"I get it, was I too forward?"

"No, not at all. It's just that... it will be my first time to go to a concert." Moonbyul answered half lying.

"OH MY GOSH! So is that a yes?"

"Hwa Sa it will be the first ever concert that I will attend to. Are you not worried that you'll probably just feel like baby sitting me in a concert?"

"Do not worry Byul, the location is somewhere close to your heart. A club!" Hwa Sa teased.

"Hahahahaha funny, thanks for trying to bring down my nervousness. What's the name of the club?"

"Umoh Ah Yeh."

"I know that place, it's a few hours away from my apartment."

"The club is 15 minutes away from mine, would you rather meet at the venue or wait here in my apartment to save some time before the concert?"

"I guess I can just go to your apartment. I'll just change before going, we can have dinner before the concert."

"Al-ass-eo, al-ass-eo ([pronounced the second letter as "r" though spelled with "l"] okay, okay) I'll just send you my address. See you Moonbyul!"

"See you later Hwa Sa!"

[call ended ]

Hye Jin began clearing her living room table before beginning to clean her whole apartment. When she got to her bedroom, she saw her pictures with Min Hyuk.
