Trapped in his Maestoso || 엑소 백현

chapter 13

"So?" You almost jumped up at your best friend's voice when she suddenly appeared in the hallway. You didn't even notice her approaching. 

Probably because you're still not over with having that conversation with your crush!

"How was it?" Yong Sun giggled as she sat on the couch beside you, nudging your shoulders with hers. "Did you kiss?"

"Oh shut up, Yong Sun-ah! We didn't! I came with an innocent purpose, okay?" You laughed at her, shaking your head in disbelief. Your smile lingered as you remembered the past hour just having fun talking with him. "We clicked alright—"

"And?"

"H-He said he'll be back." You blushed as you shyly said, making Yong Sun grin wider. You just looked away, feeling a bit proud that your crush likes your company. "And he wanted to talk to me again, know me more—"

"Oh great! I told you so!" 

You were too excited and giddy that you didn't notice her lips frowning with her eyes filled with bitterness. You just let her tell you things about boys while you looked forward to meeting Hyoseop again later.

"Here, I got you a drink." Yong Sun said with a wink, placing a glass of liquid, which you bet was alcohol. Your nose easily picked up its strong scent, and you cringed. You shook your head in disapproval, making her groan. "Oh come on! You need this for later, okay? I'm sure you can talk a lot more carefree when you have alcohol in your system. Wouldn't that be nicer?"

You looked into your most trusted friend's eyes, and seeing her encouraging and sincere orbs made you take it. She let out a squeal as she cheered you on, drinking her own beer. You took a sip on the glass she gave you and instantly winced at the taste.

It was too strong for you.

"I don't think I can finish this, Yong—"

"Just drink half of it, and you're good."

You let out a breath before trying to drink the alcohol in one-go. You placed down the almost empty glass on the table, hands shaking as you closed your eyes. You felt a sudden exhaustion hitting your system. 

"You okay?" You hear her ask in a flat voice. You barely opened your eyes and wasn't sure if you saw a bunch of people approaching the hallway.

"I-I think..." You didn't even get to say the rest when everything blacked out.

You gasped, breathing erratic as you looked around you. It was dark. Too dark.

You didn't know if you were still unconscious, but when you felt something move beside you, you knew you were conscious. You reflexively leaned away, feeling anxious and scared. 

Why is it so dark in here? And why is it cold?

You bit your lip, trying hard not to cry in the middle of darkness. You tried feeling your surrounding when you suddenly touched something warm and bare—

"Hmm. You awake?" A deep voice asked out of nowhere.

You moved back too quickly that you hit something hard behind you, and that's when you realized you were on a bed. You touched the headboard, and started to stand up.

"Hey, hey. Come here." You squealed as you felt hands grasping your feet, pulling you closer to the person. "I'm not gonna hurt you."

"No! Who the hell are you—"
