I pulled my cardigan closer to my body as the wind blew past me.

Hyoyeon and Sooyoung left to buy drinks and Yoona and I were alone at the park, awkwardly sitting side-by-side on the bench.

The duo must’ve done it on purpose. They probably noticed how Yoona and I were eyeing each other all throughout dinner since Soo introduced her to us.

“So..” Yoona cleared , making me jump a little, “I was told you and Hyoyeon unnie made a pact not to date. May I ask why?”

The question stopped me from picking at my fingernails and finally made me look up at her, “Umm, Hyo said that being in a relationship causes all kinds of social problems. I kinda just went along with it.”

“That won’t happen in a good relationship.” She countered, “Do you really hate dating that much?”

“I think I just don’t have someone I’m interested in at the moment.” I shrugged.

She moved closer to me, making me back away unconsciously, “Really? Then what about me?” She asked in what I learned later was her bedroom voice, making me swoon inwardly.

I can only blush and blink in response and after a few moments, Yoona put a hand on my lower back and pulled me in for a kiss.

Jessica poured herself some soju and downed the shot, sighing. She sat at the same bench in the park where it all started, brooding over her predicament.

“How can I face her family when I’m still practically drowning in debt?” She muttered and took another shot, “On the other hand, what if someone else snatches her away? Anyone would be lucky to have her. Heck, even I don’t know if I deserve her.”

She threw the paper cup away, opened another bottle and drank from it directly.

It was probably the alcohol and poor judgment leading her, but she picked up the phone and dialled a number.

“Taengoo, buy me more soju.”

Taeyeon’s eyes scanned through the dark, looking for the spot where there’s “lots of trees” as per Jessica’s description.

She followed her instincts and walked near the fountain, sighing when she saw Jessica’s hunched figure.

“Oh, Kim Taeyeon!” Jessica smiled drunkenly up at her and Taeyeon lightly flicked her forehead in response, “Ouch!”

“Still have that habit of drinking outside until you’re passed out, huh?” Taeyeon clicked her tongue, “Here, drink this.”

Jessica stared at the coffee cup handed to her, “Is there soju in here?”

“Shut your trap and drink it so you can sober up.”

“Fine.” Jessica looked at Taeyeon with her eyes barely open, "Still uptight, huh."

"God, you're so drunk."

"Uh-oh." Jessica stood up and staggered to the fountain.

"What are you doing?" Taeyeon blinked when Jessica's phone rang, she looked at the screen and saw Yoona calling but when Taeyeon was about to take the call, Jessica's phone died. "Uh-oh."

Taeyeon walked towards Jessica, who was crouched down on the grass, "Sica, your battery die--"

"Taengoo look! It's a puppy!" Jessica picked up the little ball of fluff, "Isn't he cute? I'll be calling him Mr. Pringles."

"Yeah, if you consider a ball full of germs cute. And Mr. Pringles? Seriously?"

"What? Pringles are delicious.. Okay, that came out wrong, but you know what I mean." Jessica brought the puppy up to Taeyeon's eye level, unconsciously jutting her lower lip and having sad round eyes akin to those of a puppy, "Plus he's so tiny he can fit in a can of Pringles. Or in my pocket."

Taeyeon just sighed in defeat. Never argue with a drunk Jessica. Jessica stood up and handed Mr. Pringles to Taeyeon, "I need to pee, badly."

Jessica rushed to the bathroom as soon as the door was unlocked.

She shut the bathroom door and looked around the familiar space and spotted the macaroni frame they made when they were still in their "some" days. "So you still live in the same apartment, huh." 

Can't believe she still kept that. It's been years.

"Yeah." Taeyeon stared at Mr. Pringles who was lying on the floor, "So, what do we do about your Mr. Pringles over there?"

Jessica threw herself on the couch, casually resting her arms on the back of it, "You get to keep him. Congratulations!"

"You're kidding, right? Tell me you're still drunk and out of your wits."

"I'm still drunk,yes, but I'm still sane. Again, congratulations!" Jessica picked the puppy up and put him into her lap, "Don't worry Mr. Pringles, Taeyeon may not look like it but she's soft-hearted beyond all those uptightness. You'll get used to it."

"I am not keeping him!"

"Oh, please. As if you have a choice." Jessica smirked at her and took Mr. Pringles to the bathroom, "C'mon, let's get you cleaned up."

Jessica gives the puppy a bath, but he tries to escape, causing Jessica to drop the shower head. "Taeyeon, help!"

Taeyeon ran to the bathroom and tries to turn the shower off, succeeding only after all of them are wet including Mr. Pringles.

"Wow, this must be my lucky day." Taeyeon huffed, got herself a towel and dried herself off.

"Can you get me one too?" Jessica asked. Taeyeon walked to her put the towel she was using over Jessica's head and toweled Jessica's hair.

They stood frozen in the bathroom, staring at each other when they realized how close their proximity is.

She sighed and snuggled into Yoona's arms. This feels a bit different and familiar at the same time. Weird. She turned over, facing Yoona and finally opened her eyes, only to see Taeyeon's sleeping face. Uh-oh.
