SOWON’S POV

I felt my head throbbing making me groan in pain and as I opened my eyes, I was in an unfamiliar room. A room that was definitely not mine, and I don’t remember going here. 

“Where exactly am I?” I said anxiously as I turned my head everywhere to observe the place. The walls were full of photographies and some polaroids were hanging on the wall. But none of them has the photo of a person, it were all landscape or animal shots

The more the I felt the place being unfamiliar, the more I panic. What if I did something horrendous? How would I explain or talk to Eunbi?

“I didn’t sleep with anyone right?” I asked myself and laughed nervously. Because the last thing I remember was Yerin inviting me to accompany her inside a club and then... I drank... I drank countless of glasses until my vision became vague

I sat on the bed and pulled up my hair with both of my eyes wide open. I could feel that I will gonna have a panic attack sooner or later if I don’t figure out what exactly had happened to me last night

“Baby Hwang, wer are wu?” I said, tipsy, as I stood up to make my way out of this noisy place but before I could take a step, I felt someone pull my shirt so that I wouldn’t be able to get away.

I slowly turned my head with both of my eyebrows knitted together but she just grabbed my phone from my hand and started talking with the other line. I tried reaching out for it but she stood up on the stool bar near the counter and placed her palm on my head to balance herself

“Yenni, give me back ma phone” 

“Yennie, I just want to talk with ma baby”

I whined and whined until I was already crying like a baby—

“Oh no. Please don’t tell me I made a mess and this is Eunbi’s house” I turned my head towards the door with fear visible on me. Because please tell me I didn’t do anything stupid or else I’m doomed

“Wait. Shouldn’t I be relieved that this isn’t a house of a stranger? And that I didn’t sleep with someone?” I said trying to comfort myself but ending up having the same anxious and panicking self.

“Just breath in and breath out, Kim Sojung. Act like there’s nothing’s wrong. You don’t remember anything” I took a deep breath and grabbed the door knob and said “Yes, you don’t remember anything. You don’t remember anything, Sojung”—I paused for a while and raised my voice—“Oh forget it! I remember some of it. Just don’t screw this up”

I went out of the room to be greeted by a grilling sound and a delicious aroma making me assume that Eunbi’s probably cooking breakfast. I immediately tried to find my way to where the kitchen was

A smile crept on my face when I saw the back of Eunbi who was cooking. She was wearing a white oversized sweater and a short and was humming to a some song.

“Good morning princess” I said as I wrapped both of my arms to her waist and planted a kiss on her neck before placing my chin on her shoulder

I heard soft giggled and placed her free hand on top of my hand “Well, you’re an early bird for someone who got so drunk last night”

I groaned on her remark and pouted “Did I do something last night?”

Instead of answering, she just hummed and continued what she was doing, making me more anxious about my drunk self. But I let it slip this time and watched her cook as I hug her.

Because why not? I could get used to hugging her and to this kind of scenario

“I love you” I softly said and planted soft kisses on her neck making her chuckle “Sojung, stop. This is gonna get burned if you keep on doing that” but i didn’t listen to her and pulled her even closer until she said “You don’t want to have a burnt breakfast”

“Okay. I’ll stop. Why do you have to say that treacherous ‘burnt’ word”

“Can’t blame me. I don’t want a burnt food”

I slowly nodded and said “I’ll just take a seat and wait patiently for my princess to finish cooking” I kissed her cheek and loosened my hug before walking towards the dining table

As I watch Eunbi, I still couldn’t help but to feel anxious on what happened after I cried and what did I do when I was already with her? She heard me whine and cry, right? I hope not.

“And here’s the breakfast” I heard Eunbi’s soft voice along with the plates getting laid on the table. I couldn’t help but stare at her while she was digging up her food, not the creepy way, I guess you can say that there were many thoughts running inside my head?

“Why aren’t you eating? You don’t like the food?” She asked with her puppy eyes, pulling me out of my thoughts. I quickly shook my head and smiled at her “No, I like it” which earned me a giggle from her

“Oh please. You haven’t even tasted it”

“Even so, I already like it since you were the one who prepared it” I said grinning. And I’m not sure if she was trying to suppress her smile but a small curve was definitely visible on her lips

“Cheesy as ever” she commented and began eating her food once again

“But now that I think about it, This is my first time eating your cooking and being inside your house”

“It appears so. Not a big fan of inviting people inside here and I rarely cook. Even for myself since I usually eat outside” I hummed in response and began eating her cooking and even though it was just the typical breakfast for people, I still found it to be delicious even if I’ve tasted this bacon, sausage, egg, and toasted for a million times already

I guess if the person who cooked it was someone you truly care for, it would always taste amazing

==============================================

“Where did you get these clothes?” I asked while staring the clothes—my clothes—that were laid on top of her bed. Did she go to my condo last night?

“Yewon dropped them off a while ago. When you were still dozing off” she shouted inside the bathroom. Eunbi was the first to take a bath which I will follow since we both need to go to the company to have a meeting for the last few photoshoots

Just thinking about it is making me frustrated. Many what ifs were already getting asked inside my head but the question that stands out is what if she will still pursue the divorce?

“But i’ll respect whatever decision she will make. I’ve done my best anyway”

“Sojungie I’m done taking a bath” Eunbi called her using her nasal slash adorable voice which made me I turn my head and saw her drying her wet hair with a towel. I smiled at her and said “I’ll be back” before stealing a quick peck on her lips which made her scream my name and I just laughed it off and closed the door of the bathroom

And I swear if I only stayed out a little bit longer, I could’ve seen her face turning red and maybe... also take a photo of her in that state. I would definitely make that as my phone wallpaper but too bad I can’t since she probably would’ve killed me if I had stayed outside longer after I kissed her

“Cute” i muttered before taking a bath

==============================================

“Say, I didn’t do something that was humiliating last night right?” I asked Eunbi who had her eyes on the road for we were currently heading towards the company. I could sense that she was teasing me because she was only giving me a hum with a matching smile as her response

“Hwang. Please tell me. Do you like to see me have a panic attack?” I pouted and whined. She stopped the car and raised her eyebrow and smirked at me “It’s not my fault that you got so drunk to the point that you wouldn’t remember most of your actions”

“That isn’t making me relaxed. Like not at all”

“Who said I was trying to comfort you? I was trying to tell you that you shouln’t get so drunk next time. Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me last night?” She wasn’t reprimanding nor teaching me a lesson, it was like she was teasing me and damn it! It really isn’t helping, I’m panicking more and more

“Fine. Tease me all you want, Hwang” I sighed in defeat and rested my head on the head of seat and crossed both of my arms in front of my chest. I heard her chuckle but I didn’t react anymore because if there’s one lesson I’ve learned.

That is, never go partying with Yerin again. Just never get drunk or else I’ll be in another scenario that’s similar to this

And with that, I stayed quiet for the rest of the travel and of course, I wouldn’t miss how Eunbi was stealing fast glances on me from time to time.

“Can’t get enough of my beauty Miss Hwang?” I teasingly said which made her scoff “You wish”

“Just admit that you find me pretty”

“Pretty? Yes I do. But your first sentence about not getting enough of it? No please. You’re too overconfident with your face, Kim Sojung”

“I’m not overconfident. It’s called telling you a fact Eun—“ she didn’t let me finish my sentence “Or maybe that is a fact only for you and an opinion for others. Like me”

And we kept arguing each other like a love dovey until we have reached the company—yes, I said ‘love dovey’. Don’t argue with me since It’s a fact that Eunbi and I are a love dovey couple. Fact only.

Eunbi told me that she needed to go back to the car since she forgot the flash drive containing that proposals. And I offered her that I will come with her but she just told me that she’ll be quick.

“I’ll wait for you here, Eunbi” I said and kissing her forehead which she smiled and gave me a nod before vanishing out of my sight

I leaned on the wall and did whatever I could to occupy myself, such as playing with my feet, looking everywhere, playing with my phone until I finally heard footsteps coming near me which made me smile automatically. Eventually the smile on my face turned into a frown as soon as I met the eyes of the person in front of me

“What do you want?” I ask coldly and uninterestedly. Hoping that she would take my hint that I don’t want to see nor talk to her

She weakly smiled at me and took a step forward “Can we talk?”

“We’re already talking, Choi” I don’t really know the reason why I hate her this much. Not that I haven’t moved on from her because in fact, I already did. There’s this thing that I couldn’t identify that just makes me hate her. Was it because she left me without giving me a proper closure nor explanation?

She sighed and shook her head “I mean, can we talk after the meeting? In private”
