Luna's POV

I am currently in my room, walking back and forth, still bothered about what I am wearing. I asked Dad about the choices I have but he said everything looks beautiful, guys don't know the difference. Cara is the only girl here aside from me, but I doubt she will answer me.

I am currently wearing a navy blue dress, above the knee. My hair is tied up in a bun and I have a little makeup. I mean I don't want to overdo it.

Should I ask Cara? I mean... If she rolled her eyes, that means she hates that I look good in it. If she ignored me that means it didn't caught her attention. Right. Okay. I should give it a try.

I hurriedly got out of my room and keep knocking on Cara's door but no one is answering.

"She said she has something to do. Didn't she tell you earlier in school? You didn't know?" Dad asked

"Really? What time is she coming back?"

"I don't know, but it's been 5 hours. Do-" Dad

Someone knocked on the door.

"That must be Minho" I said and hurriedly ran down the stairs, I opened the door-

To my surprise, it was Cara who is standing in front of the door. She stared at me blankly- Wait. Am I smelling alcohol?

"I know you won't answer me properly, but is the dress fine or nah?"

Her tears started falling that shocked me.

"What happened? Did Haewon hurt you? Did she do something bad? Why are you crying?"

She suddenly hugged me tight.

"What happened?"

"I-I don't know..." she whispered as she sobbed

I didn't ask any questions and caress her back. What is happening? She came home drunk and is crying. I don't know what to say and I know she won't tell me about it.

She let go of the hug and stared at me "The dress looks good on you" and she left like nothing happened

"Really?" I asked once again

But she closed her door.

Are we good now? Or she's just returning the favor?

"What are you standing there? Good evening" Minho said

"Hey. Sorry."

"Where's your Dad?" he asked

I went to him "Ah, he is probably comforting Cara right now"

"Why?" he opened the door

"She is crying. I don't know why." I got in the car and he did the same.

He started driving and we were both quiet inside the car like there is something to be awkward of. We arrived at the place and it was damn amazing. I mean it was like some rest house in the middle of the forest. Students were right. They are far from where the people are staying.

We got out of the car and entered the house. It was quite relaxing to look at. Damn. I would want to have a house like this.

"Welcome to our hide- I mean home" Minho smiled at me

"This is cool. But..." I looked around to see other people because he said there was a party "I thought we were having a small party. Where are others?"

"I lied. It was a dinner between us two." he said

"Ah? Really?"

He nodded "Follow me" he said and headed to the kitchen where the dining area is

He did prepared for this night.

"I just want to clear this out, we are just having a dinner, right? Not a date."

"Don't worry. This is just a dinner." he smiled again and signaled me to sit down

I did sit down as well as he is.

"So... Let's eat?" Minho

I nodded "Yeah. Sure. Thanks for this."

"No worries." Minho answered and started eating too

As I was eating, I can't stop but stare at the whole place. It was really cool to have a place like this. I mean this is really peaceful. This is what every teenager want to have.

"I thought you are living with your friends? Where are they?" I asked as I chew the food

"They went somewhere. I am not sure. If it's about Jeongin's collection, he is trying to arrange it. His room is a mess. He may be a bit embarrassed to show it." he chuckled

"I don't really mind." I chuckled as well and continued eating

But this place rocks. Damn. I want to stay here.

"So, why is Cara crying?" he asked

"Ah, she's drunk. Maybe it's because of the alcohol."

"Alcohol? She's crying because of that?" Minho

"You haven't experienced getting drunk, huh?"

"Yeah. What does it feel like?" Minho

"Well, there are people who can control themselves when they are drunk but not their emotion, and there are people who can control their emotion but can't control themselves physically. Cara is the first one. She managed to go home alone even she's drunk, but the alcohol really got her, and she became emotional all of a sudden. Sometimes it's fun getting drunk."

He just kept nodding his head.

"When you are drunk you will just suddenly explode what you are feeling. Next day, you might regret what you did but you will feel better. In short, alcohol will lessen what you are keeping inside you-"

Hyunjin suddenly entered the kitchen.

"I thought you left with them?" Minho asked

"Can't I decide to stay?" he asked and took something inside the fridge then looked at me

"What are you staring at?"

"What are you wearing? Are you going on a date?" he chuckled

Seriously?
