26 year old Lee Jiyoung walks into the club, walks over to the bar, and grabs a seat. I turn my head to observe the dance floor and the other people in the club when I notice a familiar silhouette. It’s my ex-boyfriend who framed me for murder, Jongin, or as he preferred to be called - Kai. He notices me staring and he turns his head to meet my gaze. His eyes showed no shock or surprise but instead, they formed into crescents as he smiled at me. The smile that I once loved.

“Sunhee. Long time no see! How’ve you been?”

I scoff before rolling my eyes, “Sunhee was the old me. It’s Jiyoung now, remember it. You'll be seeing me more often” and smirk at him before ordering the strongest drink available as the bartender was now catering to me. Kai’s smile seemed to falter a slight bit but he quickly regained his composure, “oh really? Huh, would you look at the time, I have an appointment scheduled so I’ll catch you later….Jiyoung,” and he turns away after shooting a smirk my way. I quickly drank her drink and ordered one after another.

A few minutes turned into a few hours and finally, I was starting to feel drowsy. Usually, I wasn’t the type to drink to the extent of feeling tipsy but I just wanted to feel the burning of the alcohol after seeing his face.

After a few more rounds, I guess I eventually knocked out on the bar counter. Little did I know, two hungry men were eying me since a while ago but I was too far too tipsy to notice. The moment I knocked out, one of those guys said “dude, that hot girl just passed out. Let’s leave with her. She’s too drunk right now, perfect timing! I can’t control myself anymore.” As they were about to touch me, an unknown voice spoke. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” The two guys stopped moving and glanced at the unknown guy’s way before noticing he was on the phone. They were about to touch me when he suddenly spoke again. This time, it was directed at them. “I said I wouldn't do that if I were you.” This time, the two guys glared at him but noticed he was no longer on the phone and he was staring directly at the two guys. One of the guys said, “what the is she to you,” while the other said, “I bet he wants her to himself.” The unknown savior smirked before pulling out his phone and waving it side to side in his hand, “I have everything you just said recorded. I’m friends with a cop and he's at this club right now. I can call him over if you want.” The two guys left and the unknown savior took a seat next to me.

The bartender looked at the savior and smirked while drying the newly-washed shot glasses.

“Mark, you never save someone….at night, that is. Plus, you don't have any friends that are cops; you didn't record it either.”

“Yeah….I know, I lied; but there’s something about her that makes me want to protect her…. maybe I could use her against Kai. Seems like the two have some bad blood between them."
