I don’t usually get calls from her asking for good drinks because I used to do it first. However now, as she cut the line I knew already I will be in trouble. I know that tone because I really don’t like hearing it. I clenched my teeth as I take a walk to my Dad’s office.

I took a deep breath and push the door. “May I come in?” I asked.

“You have already opened the door, I have no choice.” My Dad stated.

I smirked and pulled my shirt together. “About my friend, Park Shinhye-

I entered our favorite restaurant serving good beers. This has been our hang out place since college, but we are not drinking out lungs out back then. We are just college students that know nothing about life.

I give a nod to the son of the owner of this restaurant. “What’s up?”

“Where’s the other one?” He smiled. “Alone tonight?”

I laughed. “No, she’ll arrive any minute now.”

Then he laughed too. “Knew it. Why did I bother asking?”

I sat on the couch. “You’re getting weird.”

“No, I am just saying that I am wrong thinking you will be alone.” He paused. “Because there is no single time you guys did it.”

I stopped for a minute and tried to recall all the times I have been here. And he
