Byul looked at the time: 9pm

She sighed as she remembered that Mino’s schedule would be done only by 11pm that night

“Coffee, coffee” she muttered as she sipped her coffee, trying her best to stay awake when her phone rang

*Unknown number*

“Nugu?” she muttered

“Yobosaeyo?” Byul answered

“Jogi…we are calling from a soju bar—”

*Soju bar? Yah, do I look like I drink soju?*

“I didn’t order soju” Byul said calmly

“Your boyfriend is here, drunk” the voice said

“Mwo? I thought he left on a schedule” Byul muttered

*Yah is Mino lying to me and going about drinking soju? Yah he is an idol, he can’t just drink soju whenever and wherever he likes* Byul thought face-palming herself

“Okay where are you guys?” Byul asked as the waiter gave her the address

“He even bought his car” the waiter said

“Car? Ah neh…geuamwo, I’ll be right there” she said hanging up the call.

“I thought he left on the band’s van” Byul muttered as she wore her sweater and ran down the road

“And did he have to drink soju in that bar far away from home?” she muttered

“TAXI!” she said

Soon a cab halted and she drove to the address.

>><< 

Meanwhile, schedule for Winner had ended early. Mino smiled to himself at the thought of his girlfriend

Mino walked towards his home when he saw Byul from a distance

“Byul?” he muttered, noticing that she was in a hurry

He looked at Byul get into the cab and drive away

Mino got into another cab and followed Byul, trying to call her phone which was left unanswered.

>><< 

Byul ran to the soju bar

“Where is he?” Byul asked as the waiter bowed at her and pointed at the guy sleeping

“Min— Gyu-ah?” she muttered as she walked towards the sleeping Mingyu

“Miss, please take your boyfriend home, we need to close the store” the owner said

“N-neh” Byul said as she walked over to Mingyu and shook him

“G-Gyu-ah” she called shaking him
“Leave me alone” a sleepy voice said

“Gyu-ah, we need to get home” Byul said as Mingyu continued to sleep

“Gyu-ah, it’s Byul” Byul said as Mingyu slowly looked at her

Byul quickly rubbed away her tears as Mingyu placed his hand on her face

“My Byul” he smiled as Byul smiled nodding

“Oppa, let’s get home oh?” Byul said as Mingyu shook his head

“Shiro” he pouted

“Wae?” she asked

“Because if we go home you’ll leave me again” Mingyu said as Byul stood up and grabbed his hand

“I won’t” she said

“Yaksook?” Mingyu asked showing his pinky to her

“Neh” she sighed intertwining her pinky with his

“Let’s get to the car now” Byul said as Mingyu stood up as Byul helped him walk

“Why did it have to rain?” she muttered

“Why are you here at such a time?” she asked walking with Mingyu

“Because I missed you” he muttered as Byul looked at him

“Wae? Why after all this time?” she asked starting at the night sky, fighting her tears

“Are you…hokshie, dating someone?” Mingyu asked as Byul sighed

“You are drunk, you probably won’t remember even if I tell you” Byul muttered

“Don’t drink Gyu-ah, we both know you can’t handle your alcohol” Byul sighed

“Why did you leave me?” Mingyu asked

“Let’s get home fast” Byul said walking to the car

“WAE?” Mingyu shouted pulling away from her as Byul stood there startled at his sudden actions, rain falling on them

“Why did you leave me? How could you just leave me like that? Without any goodbyes?” Mingyu asked

“You’re not in your correct sense Gyu-ah, let’s get home oh?” Byul asked

“Maraebwa” Mingyu said as Byul stood there looking at him

“Because saying goodbye to you would be so hard for me, it would be so hard to look you right on the face and tell you goodbye, because I still miss you sometimes but I know I screwed everything Gyu-ah…I know we can’t be together anymore” Byul said tears flowing down her cheek as the rain hit her

“But you probably won’t remember any of this tomorrow. Just...why did they have to call me of all people? How did you have my new number?” Byul asked as Mingyu sighed and hugged her
“Saranghae” he said as Byul widened her eyes

“Gyu-ah let’s get you home” she said pushing him away

“Get in” she said as she helped Mingyu inside the car

“I don’t want to get to the dorm” Mingyu said as Byul drove towards the dorm

“I hate you Byul” Mingyu muttered as Byul sighed

“I know” she muttered.
