DRUNK

Jisoo scrambles as she grabbed her laptop, along with her backpack and luggage. It’s almost time to checkout of the hotel and to check in on her flight back home.
She saw her jacket on the floor and quickly picked it up with her pinky finger. With her hands full, there’s no way she can open the hotel door.
“What the . I should really stop drinking my off.”
She let go of her luggage, turned the knob and kicked the door open.
Waiting on the elevator, her phone started to vibrate. She ignored the call, knowing that the reception wouldn’t be too good inside the lift anyway.
After frantically leaving her room’s keycard at the front desk, she ran to get a cab to the airport. With the help of the security guard of the hotel, she settled herself at the back of a cab and shut her eyes after telling where she needs to go.

“I’m sorry, little bug. You know I can’t turn down a good drink.”
The farewell dinner for the participants last night was supposed to be just dinner. But one of the guys from a Japanese ad agency has been making a move on her since day one, and his team invited them for a trip to a club.
