SooJin

            Some bumped into me making me fall down the ground first. I looked up and see a boy wearing black everything. Hat, mask, hoodie, jeans, and shoes. Even the guitar case is black. He held his hand in front of me and was saying sorry with worrisome eyes. Strangely enough, I was able to hold my temper.

            "I'm really ok though." I said honestly, except for my wound. I don't like blood, but I hid my elbow for him not to see. Then he just flashed a very pretty smile. The way the two end of his mouth met his ears, how his cheekbones rose up together with his eyes that became two crescent moons. He was obviously relieved.

"I'm so sorry I was in a hurry and-" He took off his mask. "- I'm just really sorry." His eyes widened in total shock.

            I just turned my head to the right and stare right into his eyes. If I were in my normal mood, I could've punched this kid.

            "Miss? Miss?" He shakes me.

            "Ugh, yeah... I'm alright." I now came back to my senses and signaled an 'ok' with my fingers. He helped me get up and bowed in front of me and said sorry five times.

            And for no obvious reason I run away from him. Not even giving him a chance to explain or anything. He was the least of my priorities and I don't really care at all. And in a blink of an eye, everything was blurry again. As I look back, I can see him going up the bus. He carries a guitar on his back and is dressed in all black. 

            My phone suddenly rang. It's Nana. She's having a party again at her loft. Well, I could really use a drink. But the thing is I don't drink. I can't say i do not like the taste because I, for one, have not tasted one. Whenever someone's asking me for a drink, I just remember my parents and how they will be upset if ever I accepted drinks. While walking all the way to Nana's loft, I remember the guy-the one that bumped into me a while ago, his smile was priceless. He could be hanged up next to Mona Lisa and Mona Lisa wouldn't even be noticed. I just shook my head as if erasing the memory of his smile.

            As I walk inside Nana's loft, all I hear is loud music. Apparently a band is playing on stage and the disco lights Nana and I bought a week ago is used tonight. Nana's loft is very huge. It contains a bar, a stage, and a huge wall covered with a huge mirror, the rest of the walls are painted blood red. I tried to find Nana and as always, she's on the dance floor y dancing. "Nananananana banananaa!" I shouted hoping she could hear me. And as if I was a thunder, she was shocked.

            "Ohh~ ya~ Soo~oojin-ah!" She came to me obviously tipsy. She rolled my hair in her fingers and whispered "Soo~oo~OooO~jin... glad u came." I know her drunk voice. She is definitely drunk. How can I tell her what happened today if she is that drunk. "Soojin~ drink this." She handed me a shot and I rejected her. "Come one, baby." She is now forcing me and putting the shot glass is my mouth.

            "I said i don't dwinfk." I said while my lips are on the shot glass. I pulled her away and she looked at me seriously.

            “Yes you do!” Nana took a hold of me and hold me in the shoulders and straightened my posture. “YOU LOVE DRINKING!” Nana shouted enlarging her eyes.

            “No I don’t!” I denied. We were practically shouting at each other.

            “Yeah you do! Remember the time when you and Sung-“

            “. I don’t! Stop! I totally don’t drink at all! It’s not in my game.” And Nana just looked at me with serious eyes. And that signaled our serious talk.

            “I know what happened." Nana said in a I-may-look-drunk-ok-I-am-drunk-but-I-know-when-my-friend-is-feeling-down voice.

            I just... I just cried on her chest. I howled and then sobbed and made weird noises.

            "How did you know?" I cried.

            "Come one, Lee Sungmin is very famous in school. He has lots of sasaeng fans. It's all over SNS. They even have photos of you two. You seemed lost. How is my baby?" She caressed my hair like an owner would to her dog. I hugged her with my arms around her soldiers. She is a tall girl. I buried my face into her chest and cried.

            "There there." Nana patted me on the back while I'm face is mostly on her s. "I'm here forya Soojin-ah. I still love you~ I'm here." She rested her cheek on my shoulder blades.

            "I love you Nana." I sobbed. And we just stood there like that for approximately ten minutes. We may look stupid, but at least we look stupid together. I really love Nana. She’s the type of friend to let you cry with her instead of asking you for the reason. She makes you feel secured with her hugs.

            Nana took me in the center on the dance floor, as always. She’s losing it there. She loves dancing as much as I love punching people in the face. And she succeeded in forcing me to drink. Oh God I drank like there was no tomorrow!

            "I LOVE DRINKEN'!" I shout at the top of my voice while my hands up in the air, one hand holding a shot glass. A lot of people looked at me like I was crazy for a second. And the other second they shouted “YEAH!” raising their glasses like agreeing with what I just shouted.

            I danced.

            I danced.

            I danced.

            And danced.

            And drank more than once.

            I was bloody sweaty. I fanned myself and walked towards the nearest air conditioning unit to cool myself down. My hair is a mess and so is my makeup but no one even cares.

The dancing was over and a rock band came up on stage. The people settled down and find their own seats. Apparently, this band is very famous underground. Everyone around me started clapping and howling. Nana herself is a fan. While everybody is busy looking forward to the act. I don't know if this is due to the alcohol or the break up but it's getting blurry around here again. Not to mention hot. I took off few buttons from my blouse and fanned myself. My eyeballs searching the whole loft. Searching for nothing. But suddenly a person in black on stage was the only thing clear.

            The band started assembling their respective instruments while the lead vocalist was just standing in front of the mic stand relaxing while holding the mic with two hands and his head looking up the ceiling exposing his sculpture-like adam's apple. Once the stage was all set, and like rehearsed, the lead vocalist removed his mask without looking back, his lower lip then smiled. Wait just a darn minute....

            I know that smile.

            It’s Sungmin! I ran up in front of the pit and waved at Sungmin. With my wide smile he winked at me. I was so excited. I stayed right there and just closed my eyes. I feel the vibrations once again. I didn’t know he would come here? Was our break up a plan to surprise me? Was it a joke? It was planned all along! Gawd, I love you Sungmin. I tried to search for Nana but she was nowhere to be found.

            After a few songs, and a “few” cups of liquor, I cannot help but to hug Sungmin! If he planned to surprise me, well he had done a great job. I enjoyed the music and enjoyed looking at him too. I waved once again. “Hi!” I shouted at him and he smiled at me! He smiled at me! How… how nice. I danced my sweat off and I howled to show support to my Sungminnie~! And I searched for the stairs that led to the stage. Climbed it and walked forward to hug Sungminnie~! But I realized he was not finished yet so I just stand there at the side with my hands interlocked with each other and resting both between my neck and my shoulder. My eyes with full admiration to the vocalist, I just stood there. People were shouting at me to get off the stage but I just looked at them, pouted my lips and moved a little bit to the side. I barely moved to the side for my heels were waggling. Why are my heels waggling? I was falling down every step so I just removed my heels.

            After the he finishes, I ran up to him but he stopped me with my heels in hand, he held me on my elbow and led me to the corner of the stage.
