Hyunjin didn't even want to be here. She didn't fit in with this crowd. This type of people were the exact type of people her parents always told her to avoid. Want to know where she was? Basically she was at a college party in the middle of nowhere. Well, not exactly nowhere but it was in the middle of the woods. Who the hell lives in the middle of the woods?!

Well– again– she's exaggerating. It was a big house, three stories, a little hidden from public view up a hill that just happened to have lots of trees surrounding it. Plus they didn't live in the most populated city either... Regardless, it still didn't change the fact that she didn't want to be here. Her best friend Heejin lied to her and told her they were going out to watch a movie, but the idiot used her as an excuse to her parents so she could come here from the start.

Now, she had no problem with that but a heads-up would've been nice. She could've gone to the movies by herself, to the mall, out to eat, or literally anywhere else! She just didn't want to be here, full of people she couldn't care less about and couldn't care less about her. It's not that she was anti-social but things like this weren't her thing. She was always more of a homebody. At least at home, random guys didn't show up and try to use their greasy lines on her.

She swore on her life the next time a guy tried to hit on her she would punch them in the throat. If she got a dollar for every time a person of the opposite had asked her phone number, out to dance, to get her a drink, threw her a "let's get out of here," or tried a cheesy pick-up line on her tonight, she would have enough to buy herself dinner.

"What's a pretty little thing like you doing all by yourself?"

And she was about to tell the person to go to hell until she came face-to-face with someone she wasn't expecting. It wasn't a guy trying to get in her pants this time, it was a girl, and a beautiful one at that. Not much taller than her but the aura around her just screamed older than her. She was sitting on the arm of the couch instead of invading her personal space and Hyunjin appreciated it.

She must be one of the college students that attended the university close by because she's never seen her at school before. (She certainly would remember if she saw someone this pretty in the halls of the hellhole she attended with Heejin). She had a red solo cup in her hand but judging by the half-filled contents the girl barely drank any. A college student not being wasted and passing up the opportunity to drown on free alcohol? This was a first.

The high school senior thought it was very unusual but call it being bored, fed up, frustrated, angry, and all of the above because with that simple question directed at her Hyunjin had all of her complaints for the night spill from her lips like a rapper getting paid by the line. Hyunjin was known as being reserved and quiet, but that was because once someone got her to talk it was hard to make her stop. The deed was done.

"My of a friend dragged me here when I would rather be home stuffing my face with junk food and binge-watching some cliché series on Netflix. I don't even know 95% of the people here. I don't dance. I don't even listen to this type of music, what even is this? Electronic puke with a hint of trash featuring garbage? I also don't appreciate being hit on by guys that can't keep it in their pants, are a lot older than me, and on top of that are not even cute so they can't even make me reconsider the fact that I'm not into the opposite . No I don't have a boyfriend but I don't want to get together, alright? It's just not happening. I'm probably the biggest lesbian at this party, if not the only one. Pretty sure the cheap Axe body spray mixed with booze and cigarette smoke is a straight up turn-off even for the straights. Who the hell organized this party anyways? What's the point? It's a Sunday! There's school tomorrow!"

The college girl was not impressed. Maybe only at the fact that this gay girl had said that whole speech without a break but everything else about its contents she could absolutely agree with. She took a small sip of her drink before offering her some. "I think you need this more than I do."

"Thanks." Hyunjin was so worked up that she completely forgot about the promise she made to herself about not touching a drop of alcohol. She went ahead and chugged a big portion of it, ready for the bitter taste to hit her but it never came. She looked into the cup and it definitely wasn't what she was expecting. "Is this lemonade?"

"Yeah, not a big fan of the taste of beer," the girl responded as she went ahead and took a seat next to her all too casually.

Hyunjin swished around the leftover liquid in the cup with a raised a brow. "Does it have alcohol in it?"

The girl shrugged. "About 5%"

"What the hell, that's the same as drinking a beer!" Hyunjin looked back at the girl in shock.

"Yeah but at least it doesn't taste like ." She took her cup back and finished the drink completely.

Fair enough. If her goal was to get drunk then she definitely wouldn't care, but if she was going to enjoy a drink then she would like something that tastes good. Also something that would keep her senses awake enough to enjoy some good company.
