It's You | Rosekook

XIV. In Between The Strings

The ahjussi nodded and went to the kitchen to bring them more meat as she requested.

"Yuju-yah, we can split, it's fine..." Chaeyoung told her.

Yuju immediately rejected the idea and shook her head instead. "No, no, no! I told you it's on me. We nailed our project, my birthday is tomorrow, and most importantly, I get another date with Mr. Sexy Back Im Jaebum! C'mon, let me celebrate it, kay?"

"Aish, okay then, but don't regret your decision. Imma get myself another bottle." Jin Young chuckled, raising his hand to order himself a bottle of Jinro.

"Okay... Anyway, thank you so much Yuju-yah! And congrats honey!" Chaeyoung hugged the girl beside her.

They were toasting for their success and of course for Yuju's love life too. They continued to enjoy their meal with laughter and many fun stories about office life.

Chaeyoung couldn't count how many shots she took by the end of the night. It's been a long time since she drank this much. Well, a celebration like this didn't come every day. So, why not enjoy the moment with her friends.

As the night grew older, and when it's time to go home, they had to walked their drunk-selves outside to find a cab.

"Why isn't there any cab passes by, huh?" Jin Young grumbled, his head felt heavy.

"Let's just..." A hiccup escape her lips, "Walked to the intersection, maybe we can still catch a bus there."Chaeyoung suggested.

Jin Young and Yuju agreed. And there they were, walking their drunk-asses to the nearby bus shelter. While Jin Young still have his shoes on, Chaeyoung and Yuju seemed to enjoy barefooting due to the tremendous pain from the heels.

Chaeyoung walked with her head hung low, her body felt tired and she slightly felt her head pounding from too much alcohol she consumed earlier.

She just kept on walking until her head hit something hard. "Ouch..." It was actually not that hurt but still, it startled her. She moved back a little and hold her head. But then, a familiar scent greeted her.

She was unsure if it was what she thought it was, or maybe her drunkself was just hallucinating. She carefully brought her face up to see the face she longed for.

"Jeon Jungkook..." She breathed. "What are you doing here?" Another hiccup escape her lips.

"I was just getting myself a takeout." He answered.

He then furrowed his eyebrows, observing her from head to toe. Hair tied back in a messy ponytail, glazed eyes, barefooting with heels in hand, geez, this woman sure was drunk. "How about you? And your..." He paused to see two of her co-workers behind her. "Co-workers?"

"We were just having our dinner and about to head home. So, if you excuse us--" Chaeyoung walked passed the man, but Jungkook quickly grabbed her hand.

"Yah, what are you doing? Let go of me." Chaeyoung looked up at his face.

"I'll take you home." He said.

But, Chaeyoung refused the idea. "Are you crazy? I can't leave my friends."

"Yah, yah, we can take her home, no need to worry Jeon Jungkook." Jin Young replied.

Jungkook scoffed, "Oh, yeah? Have you seen yourself?"

"Wae? We were fine, right?" Yuju patted on Jin Young's shoulder. "We can take care of our Chaeyoungie!"
