Hold Me Tight

Someone important

Soobin's POV

What the fuck does he take me for? I know that there's no part-time today, Monday is the holiday for the cafe he works. Why did he lie? He didn't even talk to me for the whole class. Am I that annoying to him now? I bet he likes Shi won better than me. Always clings onto each-What the hell I'm rambling about? It's his life. God, I gonna lose my mind at this rate. I wanna go home as soon as possible and think about the rest later - I thought as I was on my bike now, on my way home. I did feel bad and regret shouting at him but there's his fault too. I was about to unlock my door when I got a message from Minho, one of the alcohol friends of my previous school.

Minho: Hey, dude. how're doing?

Soobin: What do you want?

Minho: Nothing much. Just wanted to invite you to my house as it's my birthday today.

Soobin: Can't come. congratulation btw.

Minho: There'd be alcohol

I was upset earlier but when he said 'alcohol' my brain went wild for that. I love alcohol a lot especially when I'm feeling doomed. Not to mention, the first time I've tried alcohol was when I was only 16, from my mother's cupboard. Since then I had taken fancy to this stuffs. even though it's forbidden to drink until you come of age until you became 19. I agreed to the deal immediately.

Soobin: On my way.

Minho: God I knew you would come if I mention alcohol. There's no way you'd refuse free food.

Soobin: Alcohol, free alcohol.

Minho: Come quickly. I'm waiting.

I turned back to my bike and went in my friend's direction. It took me long 17 minutes to reach his house. I can hear the bombastic music even from the outside of the house. I grinned before heading toward his house. I pressed the calling bell but no one opened the door. I pressed again before calling my friend out.

''Where the hell are you? I've been outside for like 100 years yet nobody is opening this door.'' - I shouted as soon as he answered the phone.

''Chill dude, I was busy with some chicks. I coming now''

''Come quickly'' - I said as I put my phone back in my pocket. After waiting like 30 seconds, the door opened with a squeaking sound. I looked at my friend who was saying nothing but grinning wildly before grabbing me into a huge hug which was hell suffocating.

''I missed you like hell'' - He said before letting me go.

''Guess I have to lie 'Me too' '' - I said

''I know it's not a lie. How can you not miss this handsome face'' - He said with a huge grin.

''OH right? Did I ever said that you look like a beaver whenever you show your teeth like that?'' - I said.

''You're RUDE. Enough of talking, come in'' - he said before pulling me inside.

I entered the house to encounter lots of people swing around and dancing. Some were drinking beer at the corner, some were dancing, some were playing. I took a sit on the couch before my silly friend could take me to dance.

My mind wasn't partying at all today. I wanted to keep myself busy by partying but couldn't as I kept on remembering how rudely I acted in In woo. I feel hell guilty because of it now. I was about to pull out my phone and type 'sorry' to In woo, when my friend called my name. He was carrying four beers which was definitely a wrong decision. He called me again when I looked away. I signed before reaching over to him, take two beers,s and free him. I sat on the couch and opened the cap with a hissing sound. I forgot about the 'sorry' thing as soon as the bitter smell of the beer lingered in my nose. I tugged a lot of beer on my first sip which made me cough. I didn't care as I keep on drinking.

I didn't have the clue for how long I have been here. From 1 beer to another to another, I drank like 5 bottles of beer. My brain was so hazy that I forgot all about In woo. I was zooming around when I found a girl placing her hand on my shoulder. But in my eyes she wasn't she, she was someone else, someone important to me.
