Hershe; Yuchae

"Guys.... I said...... I can walk on my own.... No need to carry me... Let go of me.... noW..." Chaeryeong  commanded. Yuna and Soobin were assisting her to walk, her arms draped around their shoulders.

It turned out, Chaeryeong did enjoy the drink. Too much, in fact, as she kept filling her glass like she was not aware that it's a mixture of alcohol and other stuff.

After an hour, she became so talkative which lead Yuna to think she's drunk and that it's time to take her home.

Lia, on the other hand, was having a good time with the bar owner. Yeonjun volunteered to drive the lady home later by himself.

"Yeah, you could walk on your own," said Yuna, trying her best to carry Chaeryeong, "but you keep on stumbling, you know."

"It's because... it's because.... I can't feel my legs." Yuna adjusted Chaeryeong's arms on her shoulders.

"If you were feeling something strange about your legs earlier, why did you drink a lot?"

Chaeryeong tilted her head to Yuna and drew her face closer before smiling.
"Because.... it tastes..soooo....... goooood..."

Yuna could only sigh. She wondered how Chaeryeong can still be so cute even when drunk. She might not have admitted it before but she's getting fond of Chaeryeong lately.

"Yuna," called Soobin who's also drunk but not like Chaeryeong. "How far more is it? I..... I don't remember where we parked the car..

"We're close, Soobin. We're now in the parking lot."

"Oh. Good. My house is.... it is just around the corner. You'd have to drop me off first before Chaeryeong as I believe she lives further."

"Yeah, I'll do that."

'"Thanks, man..."

Yuna smiled to herself. This is the first time she had gotten out for a drink after a year of
abstinence. It's undeniable that her source of yeji.  That night is the wasted lady they are carrying now. It just pleases her to know more things about Chaeryeong. It makes her feel closer to her.

Chaeryeong kept talking about random stuff while they walk to the parking lot. Upon reaching the car, they assisted her to sit in the back seat. Soobin sat in front

They drove immediately and reached Soobin's home first.

Chaeryeong looked out the window when she felt the car stopped. She squinted her eyes, observing the house in front of her.

"So.... this is. your place?"

"Yes..." said Soobin, stepping out of the car.
Chaeryeong frowned. "It doesn't seem to look like a happy house.."

Yuna and Soobin laughed.

"Let her be. She's drunk," said Yuna, glancing at the passenger behind.

Soobin leaned in the rolled-down car window.

"Thanks, Yuna. I'm too dizzy right now. I should be the one accompanying her home."

"No worries. I enjoyed tonight."

"Me too. I'll see you on Monday. Just ask Chaeryeong where her address is, okay?" Soobin pulled back and waved goodbye.

"Will do!" Yuna gestured a salute and stepped on the accelerator.

Her familiar car looked like a different world now.

Yuna felt like her night had just started. Chaeryeong is in the back seat looking out the window.

"Chaeryeong...?"

Chaeryeong turned at the call, leaning an arm against the back of the seat. "Yes, honey?"
