Third Person's POV

After the dance, Momo was supposed to guide Mina back to her seat but the latter stopped him.

"Let's go sit with our friends. You've got a lot of explaining to do after all," she glared which made Momo smile at her sheepishly. He held her hand as he guided her towards the round table where their friends were seated.

Momo pulled a chair for Mina before settling himself between her and Jeongyeon. After sitting down, Mina suddenly noticed that there was an empty chair, realizing that Chaeyoung have gone missing.

[AN:// Sitting arrangement goes like this: Nayeon-Jeongyeon-Tzuyu-Sana-Jihyo-Dahyun-Chaeyoung-Mina-Momo-Jeongyeon]

"Where is Chaeyoung?" she asked their friends. 

"He went to the ba- Oh! He's here!" 

Dahyun was cut herself off when they all saw Chaeyoung approaching with a tray of glasses with what they assume was wine.

"Nice, now you really look like a waiter" Jeongyeon teased while pointing at Chaeyoung's black bow tie. The latter just glared at him before explaining.

"After I went to the restroom, I heard that the waiters are having a hard time on serving the guests. Fair enough, there's a lot of people here at the banquet hall. So I told them to let me bring the drinks here instead," he told them before giving the wineglasses to each of their friends.

"Yah! You are not yet allowed to drink Tzuyu!" Sana exclaimed while trying to grab the glass from Tzuyu. But because the boy was tall, it seems impossible for her to snatch it.

"Who says? Besides, this is just a wine. Mom and dad let me drink this occasionally at events!" the younger argued before sipping at his glass.

"Wahhh, this taste so good!" Jeongyeon drank the contents in one go. "You should try it, Nabongssss"

The girl looked at him weirdly before deciding to give it a go. But since it is the first time for Nayeon to drink a wine, she made a face clearly expressing her distaste for the foreign liquid.

"You liar! It was so bitter!" she complained while hitting Jeongyeon's shoulder. The latter just laughed at her, feeling successful on fooling the girl.

All of them already are already done drinking their glasses when Dahyun noticed that Chaeyoung isn't drinking one. 

"Why you don't have any?" she whispered so only the two of them could hear. Chaeyoung grinned at her before whispering back.

"I already had mine from the bar" 

Dahyun was positive that Chaeyoung didn't just drink wine. His breath smells like alcohol and the way his eyes shimmer was completely different. His arm wrapping around her shoulders is also unusual for Chaeyoung to do. But before she can even speak, their foods were already served.

They let the silence engulf them as they enjoy the cuisines. Jeongyeon's face while eating was so hilarious that even Tzuyu called him 'ugly'. He just threw the tissue at the maknae which made all of them laugh once again. 

"Before I forget, our parents wanted to tell us that we will stay the night in this hotel. They rented one room for each of us," Chaeyoung said while giving nine cards to each of his friends. 

"Nice. I think I will faint if we would still travel from here up to our mansions," Dahyun said while playing with the room cards.

When they were done eating, Momo suddenly stood up before offering his hand to Mina.

"Mina, can you go with me somewhere? I have an important thing to tell you," Momo said. Although she was shocked, Mina still managed to put her hand above Momo's.

After the two left, someone suddenly approached the table, offering a dance to Jihyo. It was Jinyoung, one of their family friend who obviously likes her. After some teasing from her friends, she agreed to his offer. Meanwhile, the six were called by their parents to go and greet some important people again.

Jeongyeon was already standing at the corner when he noticed Nayeon who's looking unwell. She also keeps on touching her feet and starts to massage her head from time to time. Her parents didn't notice her as they were busy talking with the Police General.

Realizing that the girl was not planning to leave anytime soon, he made his way towards her.

"Excuse me Euni-appa and Naeun-omma. Can I excuse Nayeon for some minutes?" With their permission, Jeongyeon quickly grabbed Nayeon towards the exit of the banquet hall.

"Yah, slow down. I'm starting to get dizzy," she weakly complained. Jeongyeon stopped and removed Nayeon's heels from her feet.

"Hey, do you want me to walk barefooted?" she argued while slurring. Jeongyeon rolled his eyes before carrying her in a bridal style. 

"You're feet is hurting and you look unwell. I will just carry to your room so you can rest already," he explained.

Since her head is starting to get heavy,Nayeon didn't complain and just held onto Jeongyeon's neck. 

"Yah! What are you doing Jung Nayeon!" Jeongyeon was extremely shocked when the girl started his neck through his pulse point. When he tried moving Nayeon to look at her, she was already knocked out. Shaking his head at the girl's unexpected behaviour, he decided to just bring Nayeon at her room.

He jogged towards the elevator and luckily, only a hooded man and the elevator boy w
