Chapter 88


Bodies were covering the couching of the house, like they were corpses, some with eyes still barely open, while others were straight out sleeping still, mouth hanging agape.

"Wake up! I won't say this again. I have to get to work!" Jin raised his voice once more as he certainly wanted to sleep too, especially after returning so late from the party, but he had things to take care of.

"I should have just stayed in my hotel room. Why did I listen to you and return home? I would have at least slept if I stayed there." Taehyung mumbled under his breath as he forced himself to sit more upright and rubbed his eyes in an attempt to make them open.

"You sleep less when you spend your time chasing photoshoots. Why is it a problem now?" Yoongi gave a glance at his brother before he shoved him to snap him out of it, and  Taehyung just glared back at him in annoyance.

"Just focus. We may have gone through yesterday, but we still have a lot to clean up to ensure that yesterday's party remains between us. Firstly, someone has to make sure that the trusted stuff we borrowed for medical checks, remains on our side-"

"I will take care of that, don't worry." Hoseok chimed in as he was fixing the buttons of his shirt, already dressed and ready to head on with the day. For he too had to go to work on time and take care of many responsibilities, no matter what happened yesterday.

"Great. Next, Hana, you should make sure your so-called friends don't say anything. We have to make sure they don't have any kind of leverage to use as proof against us." 

"You sure overthink a lot." She replied as her eyes remained closed and she snaggled againt the pillow she was hugging for dear life, enjoying the warmth.

"You should be the one to sleep less than anyone because literally this mess was all your fault, yet here you are." Namjoon ruffled his hair as he spoke, a yawn following right after his words.

"Right, you are one to talk." Jin threw his eyes at him disapprovingly, then he proceeded to get back to what he needed to say." We also need someone to call the girls and see how they are doing. Someone should go check on Eleon, without making it too suspicious."

"I can call Miran and tell her she is with Soyi at the hotel still." Yoongi offered as he pulled out his phone.

"No, it would be better to send someone who also doesn't know what was going on. So even if Eleon were to question something, they genuinely wouldn't be able to reply. They would be believable like that."Namjoon suggested, as more than anything, he didn't want to take any risks when it comes to Eleon.

"Good thinking. Let's call Yumi then, she is clueless." Taehyung suggested, but Hana hummed in denial as she lifted her head and finally opened her eyes.

"No, the best choice would be Roel. Yumi wouldn't wait up after a big party so early to check up on anyone; she would be hammered herself. It's not natural. SoYi, Miran, and Roel are the most logical choices, and since the first two can't. You should call Roel." 

"Okay, sounds logical."Yoongi accepted it and got up to go make the call, while he was thinking in his mind about how to place his words so he wouldn't make Roel get suspicious of anything.

"Keep me updated if anything new occurs, and just make sure that everyone who doesn't know remains like that, got it?" Jin uttered his last words, and they all nodded right as he hurried to grab his briefcase and head out.

"Can we recap who doesn't know so far, just to make sure I don't complain about this to the wrong person?" Taehyung's voice followed right after the main door closed, with Jin's leave.

"SoYi doesn't know, but Miran will have to tell her once she wakes up, for sure," Hana replied.

"Roel and Yumi don't know, either, as we stated," Hoseok added as he too walked to grab his jacket and get ready to leave.

"Jungkook and Jimin also don't know," Namjoon concluded, then he took a pause and allowed his thoughts to escape his lips. "Now that I mentioned Jimin, does anyone know where he is at. I didn't see him much at the party, I think."

"He texted me. He got too drunk. He said he will spend his day in his hotel room and we shouldn't bother him." Taehyung informed them of what he knew as he lay back on the couch and let his eyelids fall heavily.

"He sure is in his own world. How nice that at least one of us had a great time." Hoseok joked as he walked towards the door, then he waved slightly at them before bidding a quick goodbye and taking his leave.

"Ignorance sure is bliss."


---Time skip---


Roel had woken up and had dragged her body to Eleon's room, despite the early hour and the fact that she certainly did not appreciate that Yoongi decided to wake her up after barely sleeping for 4 hours so far.

Just because the sun is up, that doesn't mean that everyone else should be up too.

She had thought, but after telling him that she would check later, his words had made her worry somehow, and her anxiety had not let her get back to her precious sleep.

Eleon getting drunk was unheard of after all, let alone getting drunk to the point that someone else would ask her to go check on her to see how she is doing. It was highly suspicious, but her half-asleep mind had not yet overthought this enough to give rise to questions. All she wanted was to make sure her sister was alright, then she could get back to sleep.

Unfortunately, though, no matter how much she knocked on Eleon's door, she wasn't replying, and that made Roel worry even more, to the point that she was left with no other choice but to go down to the reception desk in her pyjamas and ask about a key for Eleon's room.

"I am sorry, miss, but the guest who was occupying that room left early this morning." The receptionist told her right after she did a quick check on her computer, making Roel feel stupid that she had worried about Eleon to begin with.

She thanked the receptionist, then, as she was walking back to the elevator, she called Yoongi to inform him. She waited a bit in line till he picked up, and she jumped straight to the subject.

"She checked out early in the morning. I knew she was fine. Ain't no way Eleon would get drunk enough to miss a day of work. You were overthinking it. Just because you saw her drinking a glass of alcohol doesn't mean she got drunk. You woke me up for nothing!"Roel started complaining as she was now in the elevator alone and had the freedom to show her frustration.

"Oh, I am sorry, you are right. Get back to sleep. I will make it up to you for waking you up." Was all Yoongi replied with as he hung up the call on her, making Roel's face get twisted further in annoyance at the way that he so easily dismissed her.

"This jerk." She mumbled under her breath as the elevator let her free on her floor, and she dragged her feet towards her room.

---Change of set---

"My head is killing me," SoYi complained as she had woken up not long ago and was already suffering the aftermath of her past actions.

"Just drink some water. The doctor said you should keep hydrated." Miran rushed to get her a glass of water, making sure that her sister wouldn't have any issues because of the drugs she had unconsciously consumed last night.

"Doctor? You called a doctor just because I got drunk?"SoYi looked at her in astonishment as Miran walked towards her with the glass, and she accepted it. "Don't you think that was a bit overboard?" 

"No, it wasn't. Just drink the water, and I will explain to you."Miran urged her, and SoYi took some sips at first, only to gulp down the wall glass in seconds after.

"Damn, I feel like I spent the night in a desert. Bring the whole bottle here."She requested, and Miran smiled a little as she obeyed her wishes.

"Did I eat too many sweets yesterday, and I don't remember or something?"

"No, it's because of what you drank," Miran replied as she witnessed her gulping down water from the bottle like she was desperate.

"I am pretty sure I drank only two glasses, though, then I even ordered coffee. How the heck did I get this drunk?" SoYi lowered the bottle and spoke as she was searching in her hazy memory to find out where she had gone wrong.

"I don't know if it was the alcohol or it was in the coffee, but definitely you did atrocious things yesterday."

"Atrocious?! Me?!" SoYi's eyes grew wide at the statement of her sister, and she looked at her face as if she was trying to decipher if she was messing with her or not.

"You were making out with some random dude dressed as Batman at a men's bathroom. And God knows what else you may have done before I found you." Miran broke the news to her, and SoYi just stood frozen, staring at her for a while.

"Ah, you are messing with me. I almost believed you. Yah! This is not right. I am in no mood for jokes." She laughed a bit before she proceeded to scold her sister and shove her slightly, then she returned to her water.

"Hana brought to the party some friends who had ties with her ex, who were drug dealers, and they had been giving drugs to people without their knowledge. You were one of them, too." Miran took a deep breath and uttered the truth as she knew, SoYi wouldn't believe her otherwise, then she witnessed her choking on her water and spilling it everywhere.

"What the heck!? HANA DID WHAT?" SoYi uttered after she regained her composure, her voice coming off as a bit thinner than usual because of the choking.

"Yeah, it was a mess, but thankfully things are under control now. Most people don't know, and Eleon doesn't either. We are hoping it remains like that. God knows what she will do if she finds out."

"This is crazy. Like this surpasses the craziest things Hana has done. What was she even thinking?"

"I know, believe me, I am mad too at her. But for now, we just have to keep this low." Miran grabbed some handkerchiefs from the bedside to offer them to SoYi, who was now dripping water down her neck, and she grabbed some and dried herself while still looking mad.

"Oh, I will definitely make her pay for this. This was so frreaking reckless. And I made out with a stranger. Me! Oh, My God." SoYi hid her face with her hands, feeling embarrassed at the thought and only.

"Oh well, look at the bright side. At least you don't know who it was, and he doesn't know who you were. It's not like you saw each other's faces, so no one will ever know." Miran gave her a reassuring smile, as when she had found them in the bathroom, she was certain they both had their costumes and masks intact. 

SoYi fell quite a bit, reassuring herself with that thought, until her mind brought her the memory of the brief interaction she had with Number 13, the basketball player from Jungkook's enemy team.

"Hold up. Did you say Batman costume?" 

"Yes, why?"

"Are you sure? Like 100% sure?" SoYi insisted as she didn't want what she was thinking to be true.

"Of course, I am sure. A Batman costume is very recognizable, you know." Miran deadpanned, and SoYi let her body flop back on the bed in defeat.

"Great, how great." She murmured as she let a sigh escape her lips, disliking the fact that she had apparently made out with that asshole.
