I woke up with a pang of thirst so great I scrambled out of my bed and rushed downstairs. I went to the fridge and took a bottle of Evian and gulped the whole thing in one go.

'Hangover ?' I whipped my head to see my mom standing in the entrance to the kitchen.

'No. Just thirsty. I didn't drink that much last night.' I took another bottle to bring upstairs.

'What about Hana ? How much did she drank ? Taehyung, you shouldn't let girls drink that much.' My mom said in a stern voice.

'You know I would not have let her drink anything if I didn't think she needs it.' I whispered, not looking at my mom.

'Is she okay, Tae ?' I just shook my head slowly.

'I don't know. I don't think so. She's not supposed to be okay but she's strong.' I played with the bottle in my hand.

'She is. I'll make her haejangguk to help with her hangover. You should check on her.' My mom started taking ingredients to make the soup out of the fridge.

'Okay.' I was about to get out of the kitchen when I suddenly remembered. 'By the way, mom, how did you know Hana's here ?'

'I heard her threw up when I walked pass the room earlier.' My mom started boiling the water. 'I gave her some water to ease and she fell back asleep. She wasn't fully awake yet. I bet she didn't even notice she was not in her room.'

'Thanks, mom. For taking care of her. I love you.' I went to hug my mom before rushing upstairs to the guest room.

I opened the door slowly, careful not to wake her up. She was buried in quilt and her curls of brown hair. She looked so innocent, I can't help but smile.

She's so beautiful. So peaceful. So serene. Like nothing painful has ever touch her soul. She was sleeping on her right side, with her back facing me. My eyes rested on her back. I still can't get over her scars. One less scar. I feel like my heart might burst from the happiness of finding out that she's less broken.

My thoughts were interrupted when Hana started to stirred in her sleep.

'Water.' She murmured, eyes closed, face buried in the mass of brunette curtains. I shook my head before placing the cold bottle on her cheek. 'Ah !'

She sat up abruptedly. Her eyes were wide open then. She whipped her head to look at me. I just smiled at how messy she looked.

'Your water.' I gestured the bottle at her and she took it before gulping down half of it. She suddenly hold her head before burying it in her palms.

'I forgot how bad hangover is. My head is going to burst. I felt like I just went to hell then back.' She suddenly said.

'You do look like it.' I said with a serious face. She threw the bottle at me and I, fortunately, catched it.

'Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.' She suddenly said, scrambling out of bed and stood at the foot of the bed, almost tripping on the blanket. 'Where the hell am I ?'

Her face was portraying the horror that she must've felt, I had to laugh. I sat at the edge of the bed. 'You just realized that you're not in your home sweet home ?'

'Taehyung, don't tell me you brought me to your house.' I pressed my lips together as if saying I won't say anything. 'What the hell were you thinking ? What will your mom think of me ? She must've thought I was a wild girl, Taaaee !!!'

Hana started stomping her foot and then pacing around the room before sitting on the floor. She looked like she might cry. I quickly went to her and sat opposite her on the cold floor.

'How could I leave you alone, drunk and all ? Besides, my mom is to busy being concerned and worried that she won't have time to judge you. She's making you haejangguk for your hangover. Go shower then come down, okay ?'

'Really ? She doesn't hate me ? She's making me foods ?' She looked like a kid and I had to ruffled her hair.

'I'll bring you my shirt. Go shower, you stink.' I pinched my nose. Hana rolled her eyes and went to the bathroom.

I was suddenly reminded of last night. I forgot that I kissed her forehead. Twice. I felt my face grew hot. I hope she doesn't remember. That would make everything awkward.

I quickly stood and went to my room to get Hana a change of clothes. I needed to get my mind of the thoughts of kissing her forehead but it was especially hard when she was just one wall away from me.

I was helping my mom prepared the table when Hana came down in my shirt and my mom's old jeans. She looked freshed and flushed. She was not even looking at my mom.

'Oh, Hana. You're all refresh ?' My mom beamed, greeting Hana as soon as she saw her. 'Seat down. The table's ready.'

Hana sat besides me and my mom sat opposite us. I scoop some soup
