Hana could barely hear anything aside of girls’ laughter that surrounded her. The glass surface was no longer cold in her grip. Her wrist muscle even got used to the slow moves she had been doing for the past minutes. The wine inside the glass moved lazily— she wasn’t even sure she wanted to drink them, why did she take it in the first place?

Her eyes roamed around the room, ignoring the girls who were circling around her. Of course, Hana knew them, they were Hyunseung’s friends’ girlfriends. They had met times and she had grown used to each of them. Although she had never been feeling betrayed like now.

Hyunseung promised her a date today, but look where they ended up at. Instead of going out to restaurants like she thought of, Hyunseung drove them to one of his friends’ place. Turned out, Hyunseung had planned a ‘date’ on his friend’s party. There were bunch of people Hana didn’t know in the party but it didn’t matter as this girlfriends’ squad found her first once Hyunseung and her stepped into the room.

Hyunseung had pecked her lips when those girls came and simply waved to the girls as he went away to his own group.

A part of her wondered if she should just leave the party alone or drag Hyunseung with her. She wasn’t in the mood for a party today. Let alone this welcoming squad surrounded her.

Her eyes hadn’t stopped roaming around the room—looking for Hyunseung—when one of the girls suddenly called for her name. Hana found herself to be the center of their attention as her name kept being called off.

“Ah, I’m sorry,” Hana muttered, feeling embarrassed for being caught not listening their conversation.

“It’s alright,” A brunette hair girl said with a smile. She waved her hand in front of her face.

“What’s wrong, Hana? You seem to lose your focus these days,” The other girl in red hair said. Her gray eyes stared at her curiously.

“Ah, it’s nothing. I was just looking for Hyunseung,” Hana replied hesitantly. She forced a smile as she silently brought her glass to her lips.

“Always missing our boys when we’re left alone, aren’t we?” A black long hair girl said with a laughter. Her black eyes shone brightly as she winked to Hana—as if they shared the same secret.

Hana chuckled coldly.

“I’m sorry, I need to go to the restroom,” Hana said lowly as the laughter died down.

Five heads nodded in unison. Hana quickly turned around and found her way to the restroom. She had been in this house nth times. She could remember almost every rooms inside. After all, this house was her type.

The house was literally a box with many windows and rooms. The owner had painted it with cream and red—his favorite colors. The house was divided into two floors, three bedrooms with personal bathrooms upstairs and the rest of the rooms were downstairs. The bedrooms were side by side as only the left half of the house was divided into two floors. The dining room and kitchen were right under the second floor.

Hana was going to walk to the restroom next to the stairs when she decided she wanted to have more privacy. Her legs automatically walked into one of the guest bedrooms. She silently turned the key around as her eyes adjusted to the pitch black darkness surrounded her.

Her legs suddenly couldn’t support her weigh anymore. She felt the cold door rubbed her back as she slid down to the floor. Her body suddenly felt tired and so did her eyes. She wanted to go home, to cuddle into her blanket as she listened to songs and read books or simply just watch TV.

Hana hated social bonding party like this. If she wanted to bond with her friends, she preferred to have some talks as they hung out in a café or going to trips. This kind of social bonding was Hyunseung’s favorite. He loved to come to one.

‘For networking!’ He claimed.

Hyunseung was always a bright man. Hana fell for him because of that. She had always admired that bright personality of his. She was the totally opposite of him. Her personality was so-so, almost dark
