"One bottle of soju," Sei said. "She can't be that drunk, can she?"   Lua shook her head. "It was one of the big bottles, undiluted. She's totally wasted."   "Oh great. Well, we'd better get in there." Sei opened the door, unsure what to expect.   Rina met them at the door. "Thank God you're here!" she said, then called out toward the back of the apartment "The cavalry is here!"   Doyeon's voice came drifting up: "Send them to the bathroom."   Sei nodded, and patted Rina on the arm as she headed to the bathroom, Lucy following in her wake. When they got there, they saw Suyeon kneeling on the floor in front of the toilet, Doyeon holding her hair back as she heaved and retched.   "I think she threw it all up," Doyeon said, "but her stomach hasn't gotten the message yet."   Lucy took Suyeon's hair as Sei knelt down by Suyeon. "We've got this for a while," Sei said. "Why don't you go get something to eat, if you've still got an appetite after this."   Doyeon nodded. "At the very least, I want to be in another room right now."   Sei reached out and tucked a stray strand of Suyeon's hair behind her ear. Suyeon looked over at her, her eyes filled with tears.   "I loved him," Suyeon said. "I really loved him, and then he did this. And Momo? Really, Momo? She could have any guy she wants and she decides she wants Moonbin? Why? He was my boyfriend! Mine!"   Sei wrapped her arms around Suyeon, making comforting noises as she cradled Suyeon's head on her shoulder. "It's going to be okay. Momo probably doesn't even know about you and Moonbin. It's obvious the newspapers didn't know or you'd have been in the headline - a love triangle is a bigger scandal than a simple dating expose."   Suyeon nodded, resting her head more heavily on Sei's shoulder.   "Hey, you're getting pretty sleepy," Sei said. "You done throwing up?"   "All done," Suyeon said in a surprising cheerful voice.   Sei looked up at Lucy. "Get me her toothbrush and toothpaste. I'm going to get that taste out of , then put her to bed."   Lucy let go of Suyeon's hair and went to find the requested items. She came back with the toothbrush preloaded with paste, and helped hold Suyeon steady while Sei brushed her teeth. Then she got a cup of water so Suyeon could rinse , then Sei sent her back for another cup of water and made Suyeon drink it.   "She's still going to feel like crap in the morning, but that will at least make things a little better."   They got Suyeon to her feet and then, each supporting her by one arm, walked her to her bed. As Lucy was getting Suyeon arranged and covered up, Sei went back to the bedroom and called out "There aren't any phones in the small bedroom, are there?"   "No," Yoojung said. "Except for yours and Lucy's we've got everyone's phones in the freezer, including Suyeon's."   "The freezer?" Lucy asked, coming up behind Sei.   "Yeah," Elly said, "even if we're all asleep and she gets up, she's not going to look in the freezer for a phone. Speaking of which, give me yours."   They handed their phones to Elly as they entered the kitchen. Lucy crossed over to the sink and started washing her hands, but Sei looked down at herself and said "I've got to go change my shirt. Be right back."   ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^   When Sei get back from changing her shirt, having stopped by the small bedroom to check on Suyeon on the way, she found that the others had already opened the pizzas and were eating. What was to have been a party had turned into a council of war, but warriors need nutrition just as much as partiers.   "So what's going on?" Sei asked, helping herself to a slice of veggie delight pizza.   "Well," Doyeon said, "we've managed to protect Suyeon from herself for tonight. Now we've got to figure out what to do going forward."   "I think it's obvious what we've got to do," Elly said. When it became apparently that it in fact wasn't obvious to everyone else, she went on "We've got to get a message to Momo, letting her know that she's not the only one who Moonbin was dating."   "Assuming she didn't already know," Rina said.   "I've met Momo," Yoojung said, "We sang together at the 2016 KBS. I don't believe she would deliberately do something like this to someone."   "So," Doyeon said, looking around the room, "does anyone have the phone number of anyone in Twice?" But nobody did.   "Wait a second," Lua said. "I don't have anyone's number, but I know someone who does." She got her phone out of the freezer and made a call. The others sat quietly and listened.   "Jennie! Hi! How you doin' babe?" Lua listened intently, smiling at whatever Jennie was saying. "Yeah, it's great to talk to you too, but I can't really talk r

I'm going to be trying to update this fic plus "I Don't Like Your Girlfriend," and "Second Winter at Fire Lodge" simultaneously - I've never successfully updated 3 ongoing fics at once before, but I feel like I've got a handle on it this time.
