Till I Crash & Burn

A Drunken Mess

She stumbled across the club trying to shove every other person who comes her way until she finds her way out the exit.

She just got out of a 5 year relationship. She just got dumped because apparently "caring enough to ask how's your day" is getting "clingy". She obviously didn't take it too well so she called out her friends and got drunk till dawn.

Her friends was alarmed that she was suddenly nowhere to be found. They frantically searched for her peering their heads out on their pink haired friend amongst the sea of party-goers.

"Where the hell is she??" Jennie asked over to their eldest who was on a look out.

"Are you in contact?" Jisoo surveyed their youngest who still has her phone up in her ears.

"She's not picking up." Lisa replied. She knew her best friend well. She's messy when she's drunk and more sensitive.

"I'll ask the guards. One of you search outside, and one of you stay around incase she's still in the club somewhere. Let's meet outside in 10 mins." The eldest instructed the girls as she kept her composure.

Her superiority comes out at times like this. She knew what their best friend was going through but she won't let anything happen to her.

Not on her watch.

She walked out of the club trying to maintain her balance as she makes her way to the parking lot.

The light blue skies indicated that the sun was about to rise soon. The cold breeze engulfed her as soon as she stepped out. Her focus was still on a blur but she managed to keep her stance at a nearby store. She composed herself trying to balance out her intoxicated state before something caught her eye.

There was a teddy bear that sat by the window still she was trying to balance herself on.

It looked like the same bear her 5 year boyfriend gifted her on their first anniversary. The same brown color with a cute ribbon around its neck.

Her focus went to her own reflection.

"Pabo." She said in Korean. "And you've always been" She said to herself in her mother tongue. Her accent more prominent and solid.

She caught herself crying. Tears after tears pour down her cheeks. Her eyes reddens and her mascara starting to make a mess.

She found herself walking even more faster paving her way to her car as she angrily shoved her keys to the engine wishing she could just drive away everything.

She gas on the pedals speeding up the highway hoping she's just having a bad dream and that when she wakes up she could forget about everything.

"Pabo." She uttered to herself again.

How could she forget those 5 years? How do you make things easier?

Her mind was a rambled drunken mess. She asked her how's, what ifs, and now she begins to ask her why's.

Why did he break up with her? Why did he let go?

Why would someone break up with Roseanne Park?

***

He just finished recording.

He got himself some warm milk at the other side of the street before he heads back to his car parked at the basement of their company building.

He's preparing for his group's comeback. They spent long nights and early mornings just to prepare for a comeback. They stay up late to prepare songs, practice choreographies, arranging mixes, on going photoshoots and more.

He was tired and in need of his warm bed. His eyes couldn't stay awake any longer. Good thing his car was just nearby so he could finally head home.

The walk sign blinked green.

"Finally" he thought. It took forever to change its color.

He took his steps by the pedestrian lane. His AirPods was affixed in his ears listening to their title song on repeat so he could easily memorized his own lines and remember their choreography.

At this point he should be sick of it, but he still feels lacking so he wanted to make sure to still work on his lines and parts even when he's already out.

There were people at the end of the lane waving frantically at him. He just thought they were big fans recognizing him on the streets. He wasn't surprised since a lot of fans camp out the building just to see idols. But he was too sleepy for this, good thing he has his face mask to hide his no make up face.

Then he noticed something strange.

There was a gleaming bright light on his left. He took off his AirPods and heard the screaming of the people on the other end asking him to watch out.

Before he could even step aside, the blinding light froze him on the spot.

He felt his body been thrown at a glass surface surprised by the impact before he rolled back down to the ground.

By the car, the pink haired girl was slumped by the steering wheel collided on its thick leather surface and her glass windows was shattered by the weight of a body.

Her vision slowly blur.

He blinked seeing his friend Jinyoung running up to him.

"Hyung stay with me!!" He yelled.

"Bam, call the hospital!" He instructed to the slim boy beside him.

"Mark Tuan, stay with me!!" Jinyoung nervously tried to wake him.

Slowly, their eyes rolled back to their heads closing in as they soon blacked out.
