3: The Drunk
Bamboo GardenI staggered home and somehow managed to make it into the bathroom before emptying the entire contents of my stomach into my apartments communal toilet. I rested my forehead on the cool seat, not even caring what else had been resting on it before I got there.
"God, you're a mess," Donghae said from the open doorway and I could actually hear the smirk on his lips.
"Yeah, well I didn't ask for your help or your opinion, so go away." He walked into the bathroom despite my words and brushed my sticky hair away from my face. He held back the messy strands while I made another donation to the porcelain Gods.
