Ryujin's POV
"Your group became inactive nowadays." Jyp stated as he rotates the glass of whiskey in his hands.

"What do you mean sir? We do transactions for like 7 times a month. Our group has the most transactions as usual."

"I know. Before y/n came you robbed a big investment bank. Why did you stick in drug dealing now?" His questions made me tremble, but he's right. I know i became a coward since y/n came, i'm just too scared to do big projects because of her. I might not be able to protect her when something bad happens, i can't bring y/n into danger.

"I just want to lie low for now." I replied as he poured a whiskey in my glass and gestured me to drink it. I did not hesitate to drink the liquid hoping that it would calm my nerves. The alcohol kicked in and traveled down my throat, It feels great but it tastes bitter. I saw him smiled seeing me drink for the first time and poured another shot.

"You've grown, i didn't know that you drink alcohol beverages now."

"Today's the first time." Once again, i gulped down the liquid confidently. I never knew that alcohol can make me confident.

"Why don't you accept the project Joanne?"

"I can't. Just not right now. I think y/n's not ready yet." He nodded, rested his back on the chair, and lit up a cigarette. He offered me one but i refused, i might have drank the whiskey but i'm not gonna smoke. I don't want my lungs to get tortured.

"You seem to really care for the girl huh."

"Not only y/n sir, i care for all of them. If y/n messes up then all of my members would be in danger." I decided to answer him as if i don't think of her so much. If Jyp would know that i'm doing this for y/n he'll either put her in danger or the whole group in danger.

"I see." He then pressed the cigarette down the ash tray and let out a sigh.

"Just know that i expect something big from you Joanne. You can leave now." He then showed me a small smile before leaving the room. Gosh that was so intense, i loosened up my necktie and hopped in the car.

"Maam, are we heading home?"

"Uh you know what, no. I'll just take a public transportation i guess, i want some time alone." The driver simply nodded and i left him inside the car. I decided to have some time to myself so that i can think of things clearly, plus it's around 6pm and i told them that i might come home late so the girls won't be worried. I walked passed many establishments but i can't get to know where i should go.

The first bar. I realized that i am in a busy street where people always hang out. I read the name of the bar, indeed it's the first bar in this street. I am getting entertained by reading the pub names because they are kinda hilarious.

Drinks after work. Nahh that one's kinda boring, i don't wanna drink after work and i don't wanna work too. I guess i'll pass that one. I also saw a bunch of boring names like beers, the pub, the bar. The look of their franchise is not attractive so maybe that's why i'm not interested. I don't know why but the last one caught my attention

Tipsy.

The place looks quite relaxing unlike the other bars, this one seems to be decent. Before i even decided i found myself entering the pub and as i expected it is indeed decent. No puking 22 year old boys, no girls screaming like it's the end of the world, and no couples who will book in a cheap hotel after getting drunk. I sat down on the bar stool and observed the place.

"What drink would you like?" The bar man greeted me with a smile.

"Something that can make me less worried."

"I think we have that one." He then turned his back at me and started doing his thing. I'm not really sure of what i'm doing right now, i never came into a bar alone. The last time i entered a pub is when me and Jennie are hanging out, she dragged me into a loud bar but i didn't even drink. I just watched her flirt with the other girls and lead them on then leave them behind and never meet them again. Lol such a player.

"Are you heartbroken?"

"No."

"You sure? I can fix your heart if you'll let me." I don't even know this girl but why is she talking to me. The bar man then handed me my drink and i slowly drank it.

"Stop. I'm not interested." The girl gave me a glare and left me. I don't want to admit it but my eyes are only fixed on y/n, i'm not interested in flirting because my attention only belongs to y/n. If only she knows how i feel.

What if she doesn't like me, then i'll just hurt myself right? It's better to be quiet than take a risk, i'd rather die than have to cry in front of her when she rejects me. I finished the glass and once again asked for another shot when i realized that my mind's getting cloudy. By the time that i finished the the glass, i payed for the drinks that i've consumed and stood up. But of course i can't.

My vision's kinda blurry and i feel so light headed right now. I decided to just rest my head on the countertop thinking on what should i do, the only thing that came into my mind is to call y/n. But no, no no no. I won't, i won't do this. I can't embarrass myself. My thumb pressed the call button and when my eyes saw it i immediately stopped the call. Dang it! Now y/n would ask me about the missed call. Stupid.

"Hey babe, it seems like the alcohol kicked in huh."

"Aiishh fuck off i said i don't wanna talk to you. Don't call me babe i'm taken."

"You're lying." I'm vulnerable right now, i tried standing but ended up falling in this girl's arms. She caught me and i felt her lips curve in a smile. I can't defend myself and i slowly felt my consciousness leaving me. Y/n would kill me because of this reckless act.

"Sshhh let me take you home." What a psychopath.

I'm in great trouble.
