You can evaporate water, and it looks like it disappeared. Even though it's not visually there, it's still within the air. She vanished out of my life, but not completely. She made me push herself out of our lives, but she didn't mean to do it. She didn't mean to leave this mess. She just wanted to be loved. She was missing the other half of her. Yet, I stood there defenceless. I helped her, but it just wasn't enough. I helped her, but it was too much. I did this to her. I did this to them. It's my fault that it had to end like this.

Kai's POV

The clouds started to spit a bit as I got off the bus. Why am I so nervous? She's just a girl, right? I felt like I was mimicking a pathetic fallacy, as it continued to rain lightly. The wind started to pick up, and I could see in the distant a small, glowing green light. I slowly made my way towards the Han River, and the smell of alcohol and grilled food hit my nose. I made my way to the small pojangmacha. As I entered the tent, I instantly spotted her reading a book.

I made a bow, as I greeted the owner, "annyeonghaseyo Ajumma."

Jieun looked up and adjusted her frames. She instantly smiled as she saw me. I tried to smile back, but it was a very weak smile.

"Annyeong, how are you? It seems to be very cold out.." Jieun motioned for me to sit across from her as I had stood in front of her, and instantly sat down. I noticed a plate of sundae, tteokbokki, and gimbap.. Their favourites. We used to eat these together all the time in middle school.

"Ahh. It is very cold." I rubbed my hands together and blew on them. Jieun took a skewer with sundae, and shoved it in my face.

"Eat!"

I took the skewer from her hand, and she put away her book. Slowly munching away at the sundae, I noticed Jieun motioned to get the Ajumma's attention.

"Ajumma, can I get another bottle of soju, please?" I turned to see the Ajumma nod with a sweet smile.

"Drinking? Picking it up again?" Aish.. why did I have to say that. Jieun had smiled, and poured herself a bit of soju.

She shrugged, "I'm just letting lose today. Haven't done this in a while, quite refreshing to eat this food. Even though it's terrible for your body."

I noticed the small shot she poured of soju was passed to me.

"Drink." What is she trying to do? Get me drunk? Was this some trick.. a devious trick? Why is she offering me alcohol at this time, and on a school night? Could she be trying to seduce me!?! I hesitated before drinking, as my mind flickered from one though to the other.

I sighed, "Ahh~ it tastes so good."

"Pabo, told you so!" She stuck out her tongue playfully, while the Ajumma came buy to drop another bottle of soju. Once again she poured more soju into my shot, and one for herself. I drank without contemplating as much this time. I shouldn't get too drunk. But I don't want to appear rude.. What is she planning to do to me?

"What are you trying to do? You know you aren't superman, right?" She poured me a third shot.

"Huh?"

"You're staring at me like you have x-ray vision. Do you want me to pose for you or something? Will that fulfill your ual fantasies, Kai-ssi?" I looked down and drank the shot, blushing from her comment. I knew she was smirking because of my reaction. You're beautiful. But I don't know if I can think of you like that. Not with other relationships on the line.. I can't.. Not with you.

"Ahh I didn't–"

She slapped my arm, "I was just joking!! You take things too seriously, lately!" Why shouldn't I? What are you truly hiding? Maybe she was just too drunk to even focus. I could hear the slur in her words, but even then. When Jieun's drunk, she wouldn't act like this.

"Drink," she commanded again. I drank and decided to eat a pit of the tteokbokki.

"What are you reading?" I asked, trying to avoid contact. At this point I was subconsciously taking the shots, as she continually poured them non-stop. How much soju could she have drank before I had arrived? The bottle had already been half empty when I arrived, and now it's almost empty…

"Nothing really.. Just called the Romance of the Three Kingdoms." The bottle was almost empty now, and by now I had lost count of the number of shots we both had taken. I could feel my body feel fuzzy, now that the alcohol had hit, "I've been reading a lot more."

"Oh, and how's Taeseok, and Seohyun, and Jiyeon­–"                                                                                                                                

"They all are fine. Busy making a large mess in the house everyday. Taeseok is always throwing gum into his little sister's hair."

"Figures.. you need to get the kid doing something else." I chuckled at the sight of Jieun's little brother throwing gum into his little sister's hair. The amount of chaos that runs in the house. I hope that they don't turn out to become just like Jieun, "I heard he had received a girlfriend?"

She laughed loudly, swinging her head back, "Tell me, is it nice being a third wheel?"

My eyes widened in horror. How did she know? Was it obvious? Had someone told her? I bet it was that creepy- kid at the library..

"Don't worry, no one told me.. And the kid has a name, it's Tao." She snickered as I was dumbfounded.

"And you call me superman? I'm sorry it seems like you have telepathy." I can't just avoid the question. I need to walk my way around this. "It's weird, disgusting. You know me, I don't like being left out."

"Always the star of the show, no?"

"I guess you could say so," I noticed a bit of slur in my words, as I continued to gulp down more soju.

"Why.. aren't you sick of it." . I bit my tongue, piercing enough to taste blood.

She shrugged, "Do you want me to be honest? I can't do anything about it, and I don't care. I in' hate it. But I'm done and it's over with, my feelings for him are left in a deep empty hole. I could give one less , if they did any of that PDA near me."

Her last words continually echoed in my head. Her words were so cold and harsh. She doesn't care.. She doesn't care.. But she does! She's bound to care for her friends!

"Why did you even call me here today.. so you can see me cry?" She was mocking me. She was tormenting me. She did this on purpose. She brought me into tricks, by drinking and warming up to her. She wants something, why had she even asked if I was third wheeling? Is this the Noona I always knew?

"No.. I just wanted to talk–"

"Since you wanted something from me. I guess, you should return the favour." I bit down on my bottom lip, what does she want from me.

"I'm done with him, and I need you to help me forget.." She breathed out the words like fire.

"I want you.. to help me forget who Byun Baekhyun is." Jieun stated  with a cold firm voice.
