"She must not like Hiichan's idea." Chaeyeon thought when she glanced at the frowning blonde girl. She noticed Sakura's serious face without a smile.
"I don't think I can join today. But I promise I'll treat you next time. Sorry, gotta go." Chaeyeon faked a smile and bowed to them before walking away with Prost.
"O...kay...." Hiichan pouted and waved to Chaeyeon with no energy. "What a fool. Why did you even expect that she would like to join? She will never ever go out with you, Sakura." Sakura thought, looking at the brunette who had just left them.
"So, are we going or what?" Nako snapped at them to make them lose their focus on the brunette. "Yeah, let's go." Sakura answered the smaller girl softly and tried to show a smile. Nako dragged them away with excitement to go for dinner and watch a movie.

It was a hectic week for Sakura, she was on a project assignment. She barely got time to go to OTR Café, and she also had no courage to meet the brunette. She kind of thought that she was really a big fool. She was looking for the girl, but when she found her, she lost all her courage to approach and talk to her. But, the big grin on her face was still there whenever she remembered the brunette.
"You will go to Minjoo's café when you have summoned all your courage-" A knock on her door was heard, and Sakura was interrupted was she was talking and pointing herself, looking at the mirror.
"Yeah?" Sakura immediately grabbed the light pink lipstick to not be caught in that awkward situation.
"I'm done. Are you ready? Minjoo just called me, we will meet at XX Karaoke. No need to fetch her." Hiichan peeked to look at the blonde who was doing her make-up.
"Okay, wait a sec. I'm almost done." Sakura glanced at Hitomi before finishing putting her lipstick.
.
.
.
.
"Where are you, Minjoo? We almost reached XX Karaoke." Hitomi asked Minjoo on the phone when they were already in the parking lot.
"I AM AT 009 ROOM!" Minjoo tried her best to talked loudly, shouting in the phone, the music was so loud there.
"Okay." Hitomi ended the call right away, but she felt something odd because she heard someone sang when Minjoo talked. "Isn't it only us who go to Karaoke? You, me and Minjoo, right?" Hitomi looked at the blonde with a confused face.
"Yeah, Nako went back to Japan. So it's only three of us. Why?" Sakura stopped the engine and grabbed her bag before getting out of the car. They walked to 009 room, but Sakura received a phone call, she asked Hitomi to go inside first.
Once Sakura was done, Sakura, who was wearing a long sleeves light pink top with a red skirt just above her knees, slowly opened the door. She could hear the loud music from the room, and it was quite dark because they had turned off the light, the disco light was illuminating the room. She saw 3 people sitting on the sofa at the right and 2 people sitting on the sofa at the left. She slowly walked to the left side, but when the tv light suddenly shone, she can clearly saw the 3 girls on the other couch; Yujin, Hyewon, and Lee Chaeyeon. She was sat on the opposite side of Chaeyeon, on a different sofa. Chaeyeon was next to Hyewon who had Yujin by her side while Sakura was sitting next to Hitomi and Minjoo on her left.
"Damn. Why is she here!? I'm not ready. Please send help. Anyone, anybody." Sakura's eyes widened when she saw the brunette. She felt nervous, and it caused her a sudden stomachache. She sat down and tried to keep her calm.
"Guys, guys, welcome to S and D corner! S for sing, D for drink!" Yujin had stopped the music before standing up and talking on the mic. The rest just looked at her, except Chaeyeon who her face buried in her hands. Sakura stole a glance at the brunette. "She really hates to go out with me, huh?" Sakura frowned looking at the brunette who facepalmed.
"I think all of us need to do a self-introduction first. I'm sure not all of us know each other" Minjoo smiled and felt the awkwardness in the room. It was supposed to be only Minjoo, Hitomi, and Sakura there. But it was by accident that Minjoo met Chaeyeon and her friends while she was waiting for Hitomi and Sakura. So, they, except Chaeyeon, decided to join in the same room.
"Okay. I'll go first. I'm Minjoo, OTR's café owner also Sakura and Hitomi's best friend." Minjoo spoked, showing her goddess smile that made Yujin almost drool. Minjoo gave the mic to Chaeyeon, who was sitting in front of her. Chaeyeon was surprised and froze, she didn't know what to say.
"Hi...." She cleared her throat before talking, she felt like she wanted to bury herself when the rest of the girls stared at her in silence.
"That's Chaeyeon, our zombie who is going to be single forever and live with her dog." Yujin helped Chaeyeon to introduce herself. She knew how miserable was the latter when she needed to talk in front of people. "And this is Hyewon, the weird-" Yujin was interrupted before she could finish her sentence, Hyewon snatched the mic away from her, frowning at Yujin. "I'm Hyewon, you want to know your future? Find me."
"Hi, I'm Hitomi. But just call me Hiichan, right, Chaeyeonnie?" Hitomi smiled, glancing at Chaeyeon. She wasn't expecting that she will hang out and met Chaeyeon here since the last time Chaeyeon refused to go out with them. Chaeyeon just nodded shyly, she couldn't look at Hitomi, because she didn't want to end up looking at the mid-length-haired girl.
"I-I'm Sakura." Sakura felt her throat going dry, and it was hard for her to talk. She glanced at Chaeyeon, and their eyes met. It made her even more nervous about speaking, even if it was quite dark, but she still could see those beautiful eyes, locked with hers.
"Okay! Let's start S and D now!" Yujin tried to break the tense atmosphere. She put the empty beer bottle in the center of the glass table, between their sofa. "I'll spin it. The one who is pointed will choose to sing or drink one glass in one shot, of course."
The games started, but Chaeyeon was feeling 100% anxious. "I'm not gonna be drunk. No drunk, big no, no. That's not gonna happen, or I'll end up saying nonsense." Chaeyeon looked at the spinning bottle hoping that it will not stop on her. "Please, not me."
The bottle stopped on Chaeyeon. "Lee Chaeyeon, you will go first! I'm in awe with your luck." Yujin teased the brunette, she truly knew how much Chaeyeon hated this situation.
Chaeyeon just grabbed the glass of whisky and drank it in one go without saying anything. "I still can handle it, if it's only some glasses." Chaeyeon just looked at her glass while Yujin started to spin the bottle again. This time the bottle stopped on Hitomi, and she chose to sing Heavy Rotation by AKB48. She was quite confident, she not only sang but also danced. Thanks to Hitomi, she erased the awkwardness and replaced it with her excitement and cuteness. They followed Hitomi in the dance for the chorus part and sang along, except those two cowards who was sitting lifeless on the edge of the couch.
The game kept going until Sakura was pointed by the bottle. "Drink or sing, Sakura-chan?" Yujin looked at the blonde, pouring the whisky in the glass. "Drink." Sakura grabbed the glass and drank the whisky in one go. Chaeyeon looked at Sakura who seemed struggled to drink the whisky "She doesn't really seem good with drinking. Why didn't she just choose to sing?" Chaeyeon felt worried by looking at the blonde.
"I'm not gonna sing. Never. She will know that I'm a deaf tone, horrible singer. Embarrassing." Sakura thought and decided to choose to drink every time she was pointed. While the others were having fun, Chaeyeon stole a glance at the blonde. She noticed Sakura's grin while she was busy on her phone. Not long after, Hitomi received a phone call, and she excused herself to leave first. She had an urgent call for urgent patients at the shelter. Hitomi borrowed Sakura's car to go to Baby Paw Shelter. So, Sakura planned to go home with Minjoo.
While the game was still ongoing, someone opened the door, and it was a brown curly hair girl with a black dot dress walking into the room, she was Kwon Eunbi, their high school classmate. Sakura's face changed when she saw Eunbi. She smiled and welcomed Eunbi to sit beside her. "Seems like a new member is joining our game." Yujin couldn't help but pour one glass of whisky for Eunbi. "What's your name?"
"Eunbi." The brown-haired girl answered Yujin before scanning who else was also there, but her eyes widened when she saw Lee Chaeyeon and Kang Hyewon there. "Eh? What's with this? Why there are Lee Chaeyeon the mafia and the weirdo Kang Hyewon here?" Eunbi whispered to Sakura immediately. "It's really a long story. I'll tell you later." Sakura answered her in her ears. Chaeyeon didn't mean to look at them, but the scene caught her eyes.
This was the 7th times that Chaeyeon got pointed, she decided to sing instead of drink. So, she took a long time to chose song to sing, but in the end, she chose to sing Qing Fei De Yi (English cover version). For Chaeyeon, it was hard to speak up her feeling, but it was easier to express them through a song. She knew she will never have a chance to confess. That's why she chose that song, perhaps the blonde will understand what she was trying to tell.
I remember the first day that we met
Your pretty eyes I can never forget
Chaeyeon's voice was so soft, she was so shy to sing loudly like she was used to doing when she was with Hyewon and Yujin. She glanced quickly at the blonde's eye, big and round, and she loved them.
In my heart and mind
The thoughts of you
Sealed and tattooed
I hold your hand and feel the warmth of your touch
Chaeyeon felt her face getting warm and blushed at the memory of their hands touching the last time.
No, I won't lie, sometimes it's too much
Your innocence
I can't pretend
Oh it breaks my heart, to see you so blue
I'm too afraid to fall in love with you
Chaeyeon glanced again at the blonde, she saw her being busy, laughing with Eunbi. Chaeyeon wished Sakura would pay attention to the lyrics and the song, but it seemed that the blonde didn't care.
If I get closer wouldn't know what to do
Love I know that I have nothing on you
Loving you, I need some courage too
Sakura couldn't focus on what she was talking with Eunbi. Her mind flew away and flashed the memory when she saw the girl in the store.
I'm too afraid to fall in love with you
I tried to stop it, babe, if you only knew
This little heart's in pain just thinking of you
No, I can't help but fall in love with you
Sakura recalled another memory, that time she saw the brunette in her campus. She ran to her, but she was already gone, and that moment on her graduation's day, she ran around in the building, looking for the girl, but in the end, she didn't find Chaeyeon, and she cried in the restroom. Sakura took a glance at the brunette, their eyes met, and nobody looked away for a while until Eunbi interrupted their moment.
No, I can't help but fall in love with you
The music stopped. "Ya! Why did you stop? You should finish it" Yujin stood up and scolded Chaeyeon. Chaeyeon clicked the stop button immediately before she went to the restroom. She felt so overwhelmed, and she thought she shouldn't have sung that song. It was hard to control her emotions and tears. She couldn't help but think that for 4 years she never had a chance to talk with Sakura.
Chaeyeon had even given up for 2 years ago after the graduation's day. But now, all of a sudden, the blonde showed up in her life again. She felt that her heart was not ready for all of this. She wanted to approach Sakura, but she knew that she was nothing for her, she had nothing to give anyway. Chaeyeon believed that Sakura deserved someone better than her.
Chaeyeon's childhood best friend, Hyewon, could sense there was something wrong with Chaeyeon. She followed Chaeyeon when the brunette walked to the restroom, and she saw Chaeyeon's tears. Hyewon got back to the room before Chaeyeon noticed her there. After that, she paid more attention to the brunette.

The mess started happening when half of them was drunk.
"I'll order all the snacks... that you have here. No salad! Okay? Remember, no salad!" Minjoo talked with the staff there while she grabbed the whole plate of French fries. She started to eat all of them as if she had been starving for months.
"That's mine-" Minjoo took Hyewon's ice cream when the girl just tried to eat her own ice cream.
"Kkura! That's my foods. Don't throw your stuff there." Sakura was throwing stuff from her bag before wearing the bag as a cap. Three girls sitting on the right sofa looked in shock at the girls' behavior.
"I told you to stop drinking." Eunbi tried to control her friends, Minjoo and Sakura. "Let's go home." Eunbi tried to drag both of them, but they refused it. Minjoo was holding the foods tightly.
"No! I don't want to go home." Sakura took the mic from Hyewon, and she started singing crazily. Chaeyeon chuckled, looking at the girl. She couldn't help but find her and silly at the same time.
"Come on-" Eunbi was dragging the girls away but was interrupted by Hyewon. Hyewon dragged Eunbi away. She pulled her from the room, and they don't come back.
"Where are they going?" Yujin asked Chaeyeon, trying to stop the blonde girl who was putting the plates and the glasses into her bag. But Chaeyeon just laughed it off, looking at the mess there.
"Ya! Lee Chaeyeon! Don't you think you need to stop them too?" Yujin shouted as Chaeyeon was still sitting calmly there and did nothing except laughing.
"This is what you wanted. You made this game. See what you've done? HAHAHA." Chaeyeon couldn't help but laugh when she saw how frustrated the taller girl was with the mess.
"Minjoo is mine. You take care of Sakura" Yujin passed her motorbike's key to Chaeyeon while she held Minjoo and led her to get out of the room. But, Minjoo collapsed on the sofa. Yujin lifted her and walked to the doorstep.
"Eeeeh? Why me? Why don't you bring both of them?" Chaeyeon was panicked when she heard the taller girl's sentence. "Wait!" Yujin left them there, and it was only Chaeyeon and Sakura. "What should I do now?" Chaeyeon pinched her nose bridge, gazing at the blonde, she was singing with her head inside the bag.
.
.
.
"Hold it tight, okay?" Chaeyeon who sat in front of Sakura made the girl gripped into her waist.
"No! I don't want to! Sakura pouted while pulled her hand from the brunette grip, but the latter stronger than her. "get off of me" Sakura kept tried to pulled her hand but this time the brunette tied Sakura's waist with her own waist. That made Sakura's body pressed into the brunette body and there was no space between them. Drunk Sakura still flustered when her body got into the brunette's body, she felt she had no strength anymore.
"Stop it. Why you did this to me? Are you my girlfriend?" Sakura mumbled on the back seat, Chaeyeon flustered when she heard what the girl mumbled. "Girlfriend?" Chaeyeon chuckled bitterly. She started the engine and rode her home.
"Where is your home?" Chaeyeon asked the blonde while her left hand still on the blonde's hands who gripped her waist. "Sakura-sshi?" But the blonde not answering, and that made Chaeyeon panic because she didn't know where to drove her. She stopped on the side road and made phone call to Hitomi, but her phone got into voicemail.
"Sakura-sshi? Wake up, tell me where is your home" Chaeyeon still tried to make the girl talked but the girl not answering. Chaeyeon turned her head back, tried to check on the blonde, she startled when she realized how close her face with the blonde's face.
"She still looks pretty eventho she drunk and asleep" Chaeyeon looked at the girl in such of closeness, she felt her blood rushing all over her body. At the end, Chaeyeon decided to brought the girl to her home. She had no choice, she didn't know where to bring the blonde.
.
.
.
When they reached home, Chaeyeon put the girl on her back. She wrapped the blonde's legs around her waist to prevent her from falling. Chaeyeon could feel Sakura's warm breath on her nape, she felt her forehead against her head, her arms around her neck. Sakura slowly moved, groaning in her drunk state. Chaeyeon tried to remain steady, even with her crazy heart. But she felt something touching her nape. It was warm but wet. The sudden pain made her stop in her tracks. Sakura had just bitten her and Chaeyeon was sure she bit her strong enough to leave a mark.
Chaeyeon opened the door of her flat, and she saw Prost already waiting there. She walked to her bedroom and put the blonde on her bed. Prost tried to jump on the blonde, but Chaeyeon stopped him. She held Prost and gazed at the blonde who was in a deep sleep.
"Prost... Don't you think she is so pretty? It's not a dream, right?" Chaeyeon couldn't stop watching the sleeping blonde. She stayed like that for a while until Sakura suddenly moved, lifting up her skirt. Chaeyeon gulped when she noticed the girl's thigh, she didn't look away or fix her skirt. Her mind was going crazy, she slowly moved her gaze toward the top of the girl. Her top was slightly unbuttoned, showing her collarbone and her milky skin. Chaeyeon gulped for the second time. The brunette moved her gaze to Sakura's face, and she remained focus on the blonde's lips, her soft pink lips. Chaeyeon bit her lower lip, and for the third times, Chaeyeon gulped.
"What? Why you staring at me, huh?" Chaeyeon blushed when she got caught up by Prost.
"Let's sleep together on the floor tonight, Prost. Don't wake her up, okay?" Chaeyeon lightly shook her head before walking away to prepare Prost's dinner.
.

In the morning, around 10, Sakura woke up. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. The place was not familiar to her. "Where am I?" Sakura realized there was something warm on her belly, she tried to reach it without looking.
"Is it a doll? There is a tail here. EHH!" She was shocked when she felt that thing moving. She tried to sit up to look at it. It was a pug dog who was greeting her with a big smile.
"You surprised me!" Sakura gasped, resting her back against the wall. But Prost jumped on her and tried to lick her face.
"Nooooo! Stop." Sakura chuckled and rolled on the bed to run away from Prost's kisses. But Prost followed her. So, Sakura got up, and she saw some pictures in the room.
"THIS IS LEE CHAEYEON ROOM?! AND YOU ARE PROST?" Sakura almost had a panic attack when she realized she was in the brunette's room, her crush, Lee Chaeyeon. She looked at Prost, but Prost just sat right there with a big smile. She looked at another pic, and it was the high school's graduation picture. Sakura couldn't hide her smile when she saw the high school girl Lee Chaeyeon.
"Is it little Lee Chaeyeon?" Sakura showed the picture to Prost. There was a kid there, but a part of the photo was ripped.
Sakura walked to the doorstep. She saw a black hoodie that Chaeyeon was used to wearing. Her hand grabbed it, held it, and smelt it without her consent. "Baby's smell?" But she felt someone was staring at her. "Hey, don't look at me like that." Sakura pouted when she noticed Prost looking at her, she put back the hoodie, and she walked out of the room.
She went to the dining table, and she saw a small note there "Hi, it's me, Lee Chaeyeon. You passed out last night, and I don't know where your home it. But nothing happened last night. So, just eat your breakfast, I made French toast for you. The door password is 170312 also call me if you need or ask something. 08xx-xxx-xxxxx"
Sakura just recalled some of her memories from last night. "No, no, no. What did I do to her? I didn't really bite her, did I?" She walked around, thinking about what she was going to do, how to apologize, and how to face the brunette.
.
.
.
.
"Chaeyeon, did you bring Sakura back last night?" Minjoo asked with a frown on her face and a worried tone. The brunette was surprised by the question, it was as if she had done something wrong.
"A-Ah yes. I'm the one who took care of her. I had no idea where she was living so, I tried to reach Hitomi. But it was the voicemail. I decided to bring her to my home." Chaeyeon tried to explain what happened last night, telling Minjoo that Sakura was safe. But, the frown on Minjoo's face was still there.
"Why?" Chaeyeon felt nervous when she looked at Minjoo, who was kind of panicked.
"So, I just got a call. Saying that Sakura-" Minjoo couldn't finish her sentence and was interrupted by a girl who burst into the café, furious.
"Ya! You! Mafia Chaeyeon!" The girl shouted and pushed Chaeyeon. Everyone was suddenly looking at them.
