"Guys, I'm done for the day! Sehun, it was nice meeting you! I'll be off now. Bye everyone!

" _____, you leaving already? Don't go yet! Now that you are done with your tasks, we can finally chat!" Sehun replies. 

Chat? Er...I don't really have anything to say to you, Sehun.

"Yeah _____, don't go yet. We ordered chimaek, stay and join us! My treat!" Suho stops me at the door. 

"Ok!" I reply immediately. Never say no to fried chicken and beer. Especially FREE fried chicken and beer!

Yixing looks pissed that I'm staying. I ignore the daggers he's shooting in my direction. Well, it, Yixing! I'm famished from wiping every nook and cranny of your room and rehearsing your faux choreography. I need my sustenance!

Chimaek arrives and we gather at the living room. After devouring the delicious crispy, oily goodness, we're finishing our round of beers when Chen announces loudly, "I'm bored!"

"Just go to sleep Jongdae!" Suho suggests.

"Sorry grandpa, but unlike you, my bedtime is not 8pm! Are you kidding me? Sleep? Sleep is for the dead! We are young! So let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter than the sun woah woah..." Chen retorts and ends with a rousing rendition of We Are Young.

"Ha! You're wasted Chen! You drunkard!" I laugh back. 

"Drunk? Never! I'm just in great spirits! Tippity top! Woohoo! YOU are the drunk one! You're flushed like a lobster! You and Yixing hyung both! Haha neh ner neh ner!" Chen retorts confidently even though he had just downed multiple cans of beer and at least 2 bottles of soju! Some in the lethal somaek combi.

I look at Yixing and he's beet red! Ha!

"I'm not drunk! I only had 1 can. I... just flush easily when I drink okay?" Yixing shouts back to Chen from across, then he looks over to me and holds me by my shoulder, "_____, are you feeling alright? You look real flushed though, better get you home and rest."

"No way! The night's still young! No one's going nowhere. Let's play some games!" Chen protests. 

"Yay! Games! I'm in! Been a long time since we had some fun! Stay and play abit _____?" Sehun asks eagerly.

"Yes _____, stay and play. You can't be drunk already right? You only had like what. Barely a can too? Like featherweight Yixing hyung here?" Chen taunts. 

"Of course not! I'm up for games too. Bring it on!" I boldly reply though my heart is racing from the intoxication and I definitely feel flushed. But I'm not drunk. Just buzzed I suppose?

"Alright! Everybody plays ok? So Grandpa hyung you stay put! You too featherweight hyung! Minseok hyung you in too, right?"

"Call!" Xiumin replies gamely. 

"Let's see... What shall we play..?" Chen ponders aloud while he looks around at us and smiles mischievously. 

"I know! Let's pair up and play a game of chance! I'll write up some forfeits in ballot papers and every pair will take a turn and pick one and carry out the forfeit!" Chen suggests deviously. 

"Huh? What's so fun about that?" Yixing asks matter of factly. 

"It's gonna be hell lotta fun once you pick what I write! And whoever doesn't carry out his or her task satisfactorily, will be punished with a soju shot! With enough booze, everything's more fun! Let's get higher than the Empire State! You know what? You probably haven't drank enough! Here hyung, down one more can!" Chen counters as he opens the tab on a fresh can of beer and virtually force feed Yixing.

"Ok, we'll probably spin a bottle to pair up later but for the first round, we'll let the guest of honor chose her choice of partner first! _____, if you would do the honor!" Chen begins. 

"I thought I'm the guest of honor here!" Sehun pouts. 

"You? Never! Get back in your place, maknae!" Chen schools Sehun. 

Aw. Poor Sehun. I'm embarrassed that I've robbed him of his guest of honor spot. I know! I'll just pick him as my partner for the first round. Brainwave! This gives me a chance to perhaps grab his wrist too!

Earlier I Lined Ga Eun to share with her the news that Sehun is here. Short of
