Chapter 2

"What are you doing? Stealing is not you, Jiyoo!" Seunghyub said warily.

"I'm not stealing, you dumbass. Go bring him out. Let's get him a cab."

His name is Yeo Chang Gu.
I looked at his birthday and chuckled. "Hey, look, we're the same age." I told Seunghyub.

"Interesting." He said in a deadpan voice before pulling Yeo Changgu with him.

As they went, I looked down at his address and my brows furrowed. "What the hell is he doing in Seoul?" I asked but both guys have disappeared. I followed them outside where Seunghyub has called a taxi.

"Come on, you toad, give the address to the driver!" He said impatiently. Yeo Changgu was already inside.

"We have a problem."

"What now? God. Just let me go back to sleep."

"He's not even from Seoul. Sending him to his hometown through taxi will cost... a lot."

"So? It's not like we're paying for his fare." Seunghyub stared at me and then his jaw dropped. "Oh no, no, no. Don't tell me you wanna take this dude in your apartment? Jeez. Jiyoo, when I said you need to get a boyfriend, I didn't mean it this way."

I laughed at his silliness. "Maybe he can sleep over yours."

"No, my sister is over. I can't just..." He sighed, running his hands through his hair. "Let's get him to a hotel."

"Are you serious? Do you have an idea how much hotel rooms in Seoul cost?"

"The question is, why do you have an idea? Have you been to one?" he asked suspiciously.

"Oh god. Can we focus on the problem here?"

"He can't sleep in your place! He's a S-T-R-A-N-G-E-R! A stranger, Jiyoo!"

I bent my knees and looked at Changgu sleeping inside the cab. "I don't think he could even hurt a fly."

"That's what characters said before they died in a horror movie."

[[ CHANGGU ]]

Oh god. Drinking never gets better, so why the hell do I always do it? I pulled the blanket towards me. It's so cold. So damn cold. And why does my bed feel hard against my body?

I opened my eyes and unfamiliar turqoise painted walls welcomed me. A gasp escaped my lips as I looked around. Turqoise. Turqoise. Oh god. Where am I?

I was about to get up when I saw a single bed several feet away from me and more color of turqoise. And a girl. My eyes widened as I looked down at myself. I breathed in relief. Clothed. Fully clothed.

I quietly sat up and looked around again. My brows furrowed in confusion. Is this a kitchen? There's counter and sink near me, a cabinet of plates and glasses, a round coffee table. Yes, I am in the kitchen.

I got up, trying to make no sound as possible. I looked at the pink comforter I just slept in and the white pillow. My head throbbed as I made my way towards the girl sleeping in bed. Where have I seen this girl again?
