Aeri walks hurriedly to the parking lot. Her eyes explore all directions, searching for the figure that has awakened her dismay and anxiety. She pleads deep inside her heart to whatever spiritual ruler out there, for her safety, for keeping her from any foolish drunk behavior, and for letting her find her unscathed.   

Aeri lets out a big sigh of relief when she sees a woman sitting crouched hugging both of her knees, her head down on her knees. Aeri can hear her crying sound as she draws closer to her.

“Jimin”

Jimin raises her head, finding the source of the sound. 

“Aeri.. you came”

She bends her knees and then grabs her hand. “Let’s go home”

Jimin is silent for a while. She looks intently into Aeri’s eyes, it’s blurry. Her eyes filled with tears and the effect of alcohol still makes her head spin. But she knows for sure that it’s aeri. She recognizes aeri's delicate grip on her hand, she recognizes aeri’s calming perfume, and she recognizes, undoubtly, aeri’s soothing voice which called her name.

“Let’s go, mm?” She asked her with her gentle voice while caressing the back of her hand using her thumb and then wiping her tears using her other hand. 

“Did you like the kiss?” 

Aeri confusedly stares at her. She doesn't get where that question comes from. Jimin asked once again to her while holding her tears to drop more.

“More than you do with me?” 

“Jimin, you're drunk”

Jimin can’t help but to cry more, the diversion that aeri made without giving an answer to her question gave her a confirmation of her hunch. 

Aeri panics seeing her burst in crying.

“Hey hey, look, I didnt kiss anyone”

Jimin stops instantly, managing the hiccups as the repercussions of her crying.

“You didnt? But I saw you”

“That was not me”

“That was not you?”

“That was not me”

“You didnt kiss anyone?”

“I didnt kiss anyone”

Jimin becomes silent for a while, collecting her thoughts.

“So you like my kisses more?”

Aeri let out a little smile hearing her question.

“Yea, I do like Jimin’s kisses more than anyone else”
