“You do?” Chaeyoung’s brows lifted. “Um… do I know you?”

“You really don’t remember?” he asks. Rather than disappointed, he sounds surprised.

Chaeyoung’s face twists in confusion. “Have we actually met before?”

The man lets out a laugh, and Chaeyoung can imagine him saying ‘unbelievable’ based on his expression, but he doesn’t say it. “Yeah. Last night.”

She gulps. “Meaning?” she asks, although she has a clue what he’s talking about.

“Damn, that can only mean one thing,” he mutters to himself but doesn’t go unheard by her. “You were so wasted,” he says after smiling and staring at her for a little too long that it makes her feel a bit uncomfortable.

“You were yelling and crying at your phone outside the bar before you passed out,” he tells her, and her entire body burns in embarrassment, because she can really hear her friends’ silent laughter. “You kinda woke up for a while and cried and told me where you lived and sort of passed out again after I got you in the cab.”

“So, I got home on my own?”

He chuckles and shakes his head. “No.”

“See?” She feels a rush of relief going through her system before she glares at Taehyung.

Just then, Lisa comes to her other side and places her long arm around Chaeyoung’s shoulder, gestures something to Taehyung before she turns them around and brings her towards where Jimin and Jisoo are standing.

“Can you wait here a second?” says Taehyung to the man and a second later, he is already next to Chaeyoung.

“That’s a candidate right there,” Lisa whispers after they all lower their head and draw their faces closer.

“I agree,” Jimin nods.

“Candidate for what?” Chaeyoung whispers back, feeling lost.

“Not gonna lie, he’s very good looking,” Jisoo says, not whispering, before Taehyung hushes her with a very loud ‘Ssh!’

“And he looks like her type,” Lisa whispers.

“Candidate for what?” Chaeyoung repeats.

“Plus, he doesn’t look like he’s a bad guy,” Taehyung adds.

“He took her home and left,” Jimin whispers. “That’s a very huge hint of how kind he is.”

“Definitely Chaeyoung’s type,” Jisoo says and scrunches her face when she realizes that she forgot to whisp
