Choi Haewon POV

"HAEWON!" Someone shouted behind me as I walked down the sad corridor of my school building. My neutral facial expression became an annoyed one once I looked behind me. My so-called friend, Minnie, came running towards me with a huge grin on her tanned face.

"What do you want" the tone in my voice was emotionless. Even if she, Minnie, was my only friend, she had way more energy than I could handle.

"Nothing," the girl in front of me said with a smile. She had the top half of her long black hair was set up into two cute pigtails with pink bows.
I pinched the bridge of my nose and muttered something meaningless out of rage, before taking her head into a friendly headlock. Minnie wined as I dragged her through the halls towards our classroom, where we should have been already.

Not long after the popular girls entered the classroom and filled the air with gossip and talk about boys.

If I didn't have a headache already I would probably have shut the girls up. Luckily for me, the teacher entered the classroom within the next few minutes and shut them up.

(*^_^*)

After school ended I rushed home. Even if my house was only a fifteen-minute walk from school I ran the whole way.
Why? You may ask. Well, my mom worked last night, and usually, when she does that, she spends the following day drinking on the couch alone in our small chaotic house.

When I reached the front door of the house the door stood half open. I reached out for the door handle and opened the door enough for me to walk through before entering.
I kicked off my shoes and made my way towards the living room, where, as predicted, I found my mom laying drunk on our old brown fabric couch.

"Oh, YoUre HoME" my mother uttered with an overjoyed fake grin on her face. Her face was dusted with a reddish color, covering her usually pale cheeks. "hoW WAs ScHooL?"

"Fine" I answered simply.

I walked over to her and crunched down beside. I cupped her cheek and stroked my thumb over her cheek. She gave me a sad smile before passing out in my hands.
One after one I picked up empty Soju bottlers from the coffee table and floor. I cleaned the table and covered my mom with a blanket before heading to my room to take a shower and do some homework.

My damp hair covered most of my sweaters once I came out of the shower. I had tried blow drying my hair, but the hairdryer broke once I dropped it on the hard floor.
The next few hours when by in a blur. I ate an easy dinner and watched some drama on Netflix to kill some time.

I was lying on my bed facing the ceiling when my mother mocked on my bedroom door.
"Hi, sweetie. Can I come in, I have something important to tell you"
I hummed in response and let her inside.
