"how do we always end up in bars? people are gonna start thinking we're alcoholics," soojin joked, nudging the boy seated next to her.

doyoung grumbled, his narrowed gaze trained on his ex-best friend as he was surrounded by flirty, touchy females. "he does it on purpose." he sighed after receiving a patronizing wink from taeyong.

the girl rolled her eyes and took another sip of her drink, "come on, you guys are being ridiculous. you're best friends! how could that change so quick?"

"you're one to talk," the boy stated, eyes drifting towards soojin as his head remained facing taeyong. "what happened between you and sakura, huh?"

tugging her lips to the side, the ravenette grabbed a bottle and stood. "yeah, i'm not drunk enough to have this conversation."

weaving through the crowd, soojin quickly spotted some others from their group and approached, spreading her arms and winking when the two boys jumped to their feet.

"baesoo!" jungwoo called, instantly accepting the hug with mark by his side. soojin assumed mark invited him since he wasn't in this weird new group chat. she made a mental note to bring back friends who..

pulling away with blinding smiles, the girl furrowed her brows. "where's haechan? i assumed he'd be with you two."

at the mention of their third classmate, mark rubbed his nape, "well, uh, he didn't really feel like coming out tonight. oh! but he wanted me to tell you 'welcome back' and you can buy him lunch."

she was a bit sad that the younger boy wasn't there, but kept a smile on her face. she guessed the others weren't exactly happy with his absence either. "that's okay!" soojin shrugged, "more for us."

"hey, hottie!" whipping around, the ravenette's face lit up at the sight of frankie with her arm tossed around the familiar girl from the bar. her hair was inky black, curled to frame her strong jaw, and eyes holding two crystal blue contact lenses.

forcing her mouth to close, soojin stuttered out a laugh, "holy fuck, hi, haha, you're gorgeous," blabbering on, the tall blonde clasped a hand over the smaller's mouth to shut her up.

bada giggled, her smile widened when a familiar moon taeil appeared. she tossed an arm around him and beamed, "taeil, why don't you talk more about this one? she's amazing!"

"i'm... amazing..." soojin nearly passed out.

frankie scoffed out a laugh, practically dragging the drunk ravenette to a table. it was the only one left open, and unfortunately, occupied by one girl soojin hadn't been excited to see again.

come on, soojinnie, you promised. it's supposed to be fun, don't let her get to you. not yet.

forcing her attention away from the preppy girl in pigtails, soojin stuck a hand out towards the thinner girl who looked just like her brother. "hi, handsome! i'm drunk." she paused, "i mean soojin. i meant to say soojin."

a scoff sounded to her left, and soojin had to bite down on her tongue to keep herself from making a scene. i swear to god if this girl doesn't shake my hand i'm gonna use it to fucking—

the drunk ignored hyohei's sneer, grinning lopsidedly when chaekyung accepted her hand. "the one who 'cheated on my brother'." she laughed at the older's tipsy expression, freehand flying to hide her pretty smile. you're so lucky, hoebitch.

before she could say anything else, soojin sucked in a breath, "i just want to clear the air with you since i can't find him, if that's okay. i didn't cheat on him. on anyone. we weren't even officially dating in the first place, but i don't fuck with that two-timing bullshit." her eyes landed on the seated girl drilling holes in the side of her head, lip curling into a grin when she saw how easily she got beneath her skin.

"he couldn't come tonight," chaekyung quickly explained. there was a softness to her features that made soojin smile. it was nice, having someone she just met believe her. she shook her head, "no, it's fine. i didn't bring him anything anyway."

lie. she winked at his sister.

as the night came to an end, soojin tried remembering everyone she didn't see. johnny, haechan, jaehyun and sakura, and yuta.

maybe it was because she was extremely drunk, but the girl decided then and there that it was time to bring back kink hotline.
