Aside from the noise of water running in the shower, he could hear the faint sound of his mobile ringing in the room. He took his own time, taking shower leisurely since today was the free day he got after a busy week. The phone stopped ringing for a while, and it started again. Wondering if it is something urgent, he stopped the water and wrapped a towel around his torso before exiting. It was chilly in the room and he increased the heating as he looked at his phone.

Nine missed calls.

All from one number. Eunji's

She wasn’t the type to persistently call him like that, so he was immediately worried. He called back to her number, only for it to be picked up by a male

"I'm sorry. I think I dialed a wrong number." He apologized. But before he could end the call, the voice in the other end asked him not to end the call

"It isn't the wrong number. The owner of this phone is really drunk in our bar, and she keeps asking for you so we called you. Can you come pick her up? Or if it's inconvenient can you ask someone to pick her up?"

While still on phone, his body had automatically moved and he was already fully dressed

"Can you text me the address? I will head out immediately."

He was grateful that he had his own car and got a license at times like this. It would have been really inconvenient if he had to ask manager for help. He wasn’t usually a fast driver, but today he was approaching the speed limit as he tried to get to her as early as possible

What could have happened to make her drink like that? He tried to think but couldn’t come up with a reason. Thinking more clearly now, he should have called her members and asked them to pick her up. But stuffs involving Eunji made him impulsive…like that one time he impulsively ended up kissing her when her face was so close to his while she was sleeping….or that time when he impulsively punched a guy for touching her indecently during boxing lesson…or impulsively visiting her home in Busan because he wanted to give her the birthday gift…

He sighed, realizing his relationship with Eunji was verging on danger zone. She has always been close with him. They clicked right from the beginning and their hobbies, tastes were similar enough that they hung out often. Now that Yoseob looked back, he spent more time with her than he did with few of s….

He parked the car smoothly, and hurried down to the basement bar. It was good that she decided to drink in this bar as it was famous for being discreet, and hence celebrity hanging out spot.

He spotted her immediately, with soju bottle in her hand. The bartender was trying to discourage her from drinking, but to no avail. He sighed, heading to her direction. Looking at her from closeby, he could see the signs that she cried; her nose and eyes were red, and the mascara was all smudged

"I'm here for her. Just how much did she drink? She does
