I had another sleepless night, and now that I can see light, it's probably already morning and if the night doesn't want me asleep then I'll just have to retrieve my energy by sleeping this morning.

That's what I thought not until someone banged on my door. "Go away!" I yelled. Mom and dad would never knock on my door like that, Sean can't bang the door that loud and all that's left is Serene.

"C'mon sis! I need your help!" She said through the other side of the door.

"You'll get my help after I gain sleep." I want to yell at her again but it turned out to be a murmur.

A few seconds passed and Serene finally gave up, I glance on the wall clock for a little while and it's only seven in the morning. Serene must be out of her mind, waking up early on Sunday when it's her favorite day to sleep for so long.

I close my sleepy eyes again in hopes that I can arrive in dreamland as soon as possible. But the trip crashed when the door opened. "Elise I need your help!" Serene barges inside my room and I grabbed a pillow to cover my ears.

I feel her sit down on my bed and she pulled the blankets off of me then she started holding my waist to shake me in an attempt of waking me up.

She's doing a great job at annoying me because it's really working. "What?!" I groaned.

"I'm going out with someone today, and I don't know how to wear makeup." She admits and I mentally rolled my eyes at her.

"Go to Youtube, you may leave now." I scoffed and went back on hugging a pillow, but then my sister snatched it from me. "What is it that you want?" This time I'm really pissed, I sit on my bed as I glare at her.

"Can you do my makeup?" There's a cheeky smile on her face, and she keeps blinking her eyes rapidly to convince me.

Minutes passed and I found myself in front of the mirror with Serene inside my room. "So where are you going?" I deadpanned as I apply a light blush on her cheeks.

I sometimes envy my younger sister, she's not that skinny unlike me but she managed to rock it. Her blue eyes are really unique and it makes me want it, lucky for her that her eyesights aren't damaged like mine. Her lips are really plump and if I were a boy I would admit to her that she's hot, but I'll never tell that to her, she'll just use it to brag herself to others.

Why would I envy her if I'm the one with a boyfriend? Yes, it's her first time to go out with someone, and it really surprises me because she finally entertained a suitor. I thought all she can do is to gush over a guy, but now she's making a move. She's finally an adult lady, and I'm really proud.

That guy better treats her right.

"We'll go to church first." She explains and I stared at her intensely. "What?" She asks.

"Are you dating a pastor?" I joke and she laughs.

"He's the opposite of that. I'm actually the one who requested to go to church first and he hated it."

"Who's the lucky guy?"

"You'll see, he'll pick me up later." She says and I continued applying magic onto her already pretty face.

After finishing my job with her, I know that I can't go back to sleep, I went down the kitchen to grab any edible stuff to make for breakfast.

There's another sticky note on the refrigerator that says Sean is with mom and dad, and they went out.

Great, I'll have the house on my own for today. While pouring down some cereals on my bowl, Serene dropped by and started showing off her outfit to me. She's wearing a crop top and track pants with a pair of white shoes. If she tries to wear the dress I wore for Hoseok's party, men will definitely have their mouths drooling on her.

"Are you really going to a church?" I thought she was going to wear a floral dress.

"Yes, I am." She smiles and the doorbell rings. "I guess that's him." She went to greet her guest and I didn't intend to follow her but curiosity got the best of me so I went out as well.

My jaw dropped when I saw the man standing on the doorway. "Sis, this is Jungkook, Jungkook this is my sister Elise." She introduced, but we already know each other. Jungkook reached for my hand and I looked at the small drawing on his hand and then big tattoos on his arms before shaking it. He also has a big tattoo on his neck and those piercings over his brows.

"We're going, see you later." My sister waves at me but I stopped her.

"Why don't the two of you just stay here?" I'm really starting to get uneasy, I don't trust this guy.

"And get bored? No thanks." Serene politely disagrees with my idea and she eventually hooks her arm to Jungkook's and they left. I closed the front door and looked at the window.

He's driving the same car that he used when he almost ran me over. Once they were out of my sight I went back to the kitchen and continue doing my unfinished business.

So this is how it feels like to live alone. It's kinda boring, switching through every channel on the television with the same boring shows, scrolling down your social media accounts, and eating a box of cereal alone.

I tried calling Ryan and ask how he is doing but he isn't picking up his phone. I sighed and put my phone down on the couch.

Seconds later my phone rings and I'm really glad to see the caller's ID. "What's up girlie?" Ria said through the phone and I'm glad that her tone is cheery instead of gloomy, for once I thought she was going to ask me for comfort like what his brother did.

"I'm good and you? I haven't seen you in ages."

"Same, but I'll turn pretty good if mom recovers fast." I don't particularly like Ria's voice because it's high pitched and she doesn't even need to try but I don't want to hurt her feelings so I'll just keep it to myself.

"How's the new school? Have you met any new friends or boys?" I joke on the other line.

"Ew no. USC is better than I don't know what's the name of that new school." She said in disgust. "I can't wait to return to Los Angeles, Ohio is making my skin dry with all this family drama going around." She complains and I just laughed.

"How's Ryan? I called him today but he isn't picking up." I told her and I can hear a few lines of a drama in her background, she must be watching something.

"You mean if he already cheated on you with someone else?" She jokes and I nervously laugh, why do I feel offended about her statement? Maybe because I can relate to it.

"No, not that." I denied and keep my cool down.

"He's sleeping almost every day and night, what a lazy sperm." I can already imagine her eyes rolling because of her brother. "But I know he misses you." She added and my heart sinks.

"Tell him I miss him more," I ask a favor.

"What about me?" She said in a jealous tone and I laugh.

"Of course I miss you too Ria." I give in and she squeals at the other line.

"I miss you too girlie, anyways I have something to do. Hit me up anytime. Bye."

"Bye." I ended the call and realize that I'm smiling because of Ria's surprise call.

After that I get bored again, I'm glad my parents didn't agree with me when I demanded to them that I want to live on my own. I suddenly feel bad for Jimin. He's living alone in a house with the same size as ours next to us. He must feel really lonely.

Why am I even thinking of him? I must be really bored.

I spent the whole morning and afternoon sitting on the couch and doing nothing, I want to do something but I'm lazy to be doing anything. I want to read books but that means I should get up and take one inside my room upstairs.

I just grab my phone and while scrolling through the App Store for some fun games to download a message from Lana pops into the notification bar.

Let's go somewhere today ;)

I got curious and replied back to her.

Yeah, I'm bored where?

Just like flash, she messaged back instantly.

Pick me up at our house and I'll tell you where :>

I sighed and agreed with her. Rather than being bored here at our house, I'll just hang out with Lana.

Her house is not that far from ours and I'm really glad about that. She's already waiting at the sidewalk in front of their house when I dropped by.

"You look really bored," Lana said as soon as she takes her seat in front. Although I was lazy enough I managed to take a quick shower earlier and I changed into a pair of jeans and a plain white shirt with my red high cut Converse shoes.

"Indeed." I huffed as I turn the steering wheel to cross the street. "So where are we heading?"

"Turn right, you don't need the navigation, I know the way." From my peripheral view, I can see her shiny teeth smiling at me.

We reached an intersection and just like what she said I turned right. "Go straight, you'll see it." She instructs and I follow. As we pass by different structures and houses a huge sign of a bar catches my attention.

"Are we going to drink?" I asked her.

"Yes!" She excitedly screeches. I remembered the first time I drink a lot of beer and that was just the other night.

"Who drinks this early?" I scrunch my face. It's just five in the afternoon. "Let's just go to the mall." I place my hand on the handbrake and she puts hers above it.

"C'mon I could use a drink or few, things are quite messy in the house right now." Her face drops and I sighed as I park my car in front of the bar.

"I think we should eat dinner first so that we'll not puke plain water later." I thought of some last resort to change her mind. But the truth is I'm just starving. I looked around and there's a diner nearby.

"Okay, your treat?" She asks and I roll my eyes at her.

"You'll treat me a bottle later." I joke but she astonishingly agrees. We had a small meal inside the nearby diner. We talked about stuff again but Lana's subjects are mostly about boys, she asked me about Ryan and how we met, what do we do when we're together and she even asked me ridiculous questions like if Ryan has touched me already.

I tried to open the subject about the chaos in their house but I get the feeling that she doesn't want to talk about it. It must be really hurting her inside.

We finished quickly and I paid for both meals just like what I told her. We then head straight to the bar and without any hesitation, Lana bought me a full bottle of Lemon Vodka. "Here." She hands me the seven hundred and fifty-milliliter bottle. This must cost an arm and a leg.

"I was just joking," I tell her. "Go take your money back." She pushes the bottle towards me even more.

"Take it, it's a token of how grateful I am that you joined me here tonight." She says and I have no choice but to take it.

The bartender gives us two shot glasses and I thanked the young man. "This bar will get packed when it's completely dark."

A few hours later and it's already evening a lot of people are coming in and out of the bar, but most of them are coming in. I already had a few shots of vodka, and I don't intend to get wasted again because I'm driving Lana home.

The speakers are getting louder and louder, some people are getting drunk already. Some are dancing in the middle, and my friend here is talking with someone else while I sit alone on a stool.

I'll just wait for her to pass out and we can go home. I grab my phone inside my pocket and messaged Ryan out of the blue. There are also a few messages from mom asking where I am and I ignored it.

I hope Ria told you that I miss you.

He's still not returning any of my calls and it's bothersome. "Hey, Elise!" Lana calls me, I guess she wants to go home now. "Your friends are here!" Friends? She's the only friend that I have here so far, I looked at the direction she's pointing at and I saw a group of men entering the doorway.

My eyes immediately saw the guy wearing a denim jacket and a white V-neck shirt inside and his left arm is around the shoulders of a blonde girl.

You'll be with me, my foot. My subconscious scoffs and I turned around in order for them to not see me. Jimin is definitely playing with me, and I'm not joining him with his sick game.

I pour more vodka on my glass and quickly indulge it. I hope Lana wants to go home now, or not. She seems more entertained now that the guys that she's squealing about are at the same place.

I saw Jungkook and I was about to not care about the woman leaning on his side if I didn't remember that he just had a date with my sister this morning.

I better warn Serene about him.

=====

I never thought I turned the bottle half empty by now. Lana is nowhere to be found and I'm all alone with heavy eyes while resting my face on the table.

"Elise?" I heard someone call my name from behind.

"Go away," I said without even bothering to know who it is. I look at my phone and there are six missed calls from mom and three from Ryan.

He must be indicating three words that means I love you. What a sweet little boy.

I look at the time and it's already midnight. I can't believe I spent a couple of hours here doing nothing but drinking and reading the alcohol contents of the bottle of vodka that Lana gave to me.

I stand up and decided that it's time to go home. As I go down the stool, my butt hurts probably from sitting too long.

I stumble upon someone as I get on my feet. "Elise, are you ignoring me?" It's Jimin.

"Oh hi Jimin, now if you mind I want to go home." I pushed him away and walked like a penguin from Antarctica, the differences are that penguins don't trip, they don't hold a bottle of vodka on their hand on the way home and I'm not a bird.

"You can't drive Elise your drunk." I heard him say behind me.

Like I care. The voice inside my head huffs in annoyance. I push the door that says pull but I couldn't do it.

I exerted more force but the glass door won't budge, without thinking clearly I punched the door and my hand felt instant pain.

I dropped the bottle of vodka in my hands and it shattered into shiny and tiny crystals.

What a waste, that vodka tastes so good. "Elise!" Jimin calls while I'm still in trouble with the door.

"What?" I looked at him with irritated eyes. Everything is spinning and I need to go home before I pass out.

"Give me your keys I'll drive." He offers and I slide down the pockets of my jeans and get my keys.

"You want this?" I shake the keys in front of him and when he didn't say anything else, I stuck out my tongue at him.

"You're going to get killed if you don't give me that." He said in a serious tone.

"Like I care." I mocked my subconscious. He snatched the keys from my hand then pushed the glass door. "It says pull, you, idiot!" I yell at him and followed him outside my car.

"Get in." He says.

"You don't get to tell me what to do." I snickered.

"You're an intoxicated woman. You need to get home." He crosses his arms in front of his chest and without him trying his arms started flexing beneath his denim jacket.

We stand outside for a minute of staring contest, we literally don't speak, and when you do you lose.

Everything's turning inside my head, my vision, and my stomach.

"Fuck!" Jimin cusses when the meal I ate from the diner lands on his outfit.

I laugh at how disgusted he is and my vision started to fade and I loved that the last thing that I saw was his annoyed face.
