KIM DOKJA'S POINT OF VIEW

The God of Wine and Ecstasy. The only person who used such a modifier was Dionysus, one of the 12 gods of Olympus. I couldn't hear the song but I could see the drops of alcohol dancing to an unknown melody. The bubbles moved like they had life, forming numerous notes on the ground. The notes repeatedly moved between me and Alyona.

[The constellation 'God of Wine and Ecstasy' is humming.]

Yoo Sangah looked at the notes carefully and opened her mouth. "It is the puppy waltz," Alyona started humming to the notes below us. "Valse du petit Chien, or in English the puppy waltz... One of the few pieces I learned on my first day of studying music." I look at her with bemused eyes, "Can you read musical notes?"

"Yeah, My dad find me a trainer when I told him I want to play instruments." Yoo Sangah cocked her head in our direction and continued speaking. "Why did Chopin suddenly appear?" I didn't have a clue. It was strange that Dionysus knew about Chopin in the first place. No. According to the original story, he was someone with great interest in the musical culture of later generations. It wasn't strange.

"Dionysus in the greek mythology in our universe find human's music very entertaining so he knows some of them."= The notes formed a circle and then arrows that pointed towards the remaining soju bottles and the wine on Alyona's cup. Yoo Sangah wondered, "...Is he telling us to drink more?"

"Let's drink," There was no other way to interpret it. "Yoo Sangah-ssi, drink only a little bit. At least one person should be sane." Alyona said and drank the whole cup full of red wine. The noticeably red cheeks of her flush on the moonlight's shine.

She's right, I needed someone to protect my teammates if I became drunk. I could wake up Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung, who only drank cider, but I wanted to let them sleep well. "Dokja-ssi can't drink well?" I was stupefied and embarrassed to answer, "He is not a strong drinker." Alyona answered for me instead.

I lightly tapped my glass against them and drank the soju. The alcohol entered my body and made me feel hot. However, the notes didn't stop. "...I think I should drink more." Alyona groaned and snatched the cup away from me. "I'll drink your fill, now you drunkard constellation-" Then she proceeded to swallow the remaining alcohol on my previous fill.

Alyona drank in my stead, Heat rose from inside me and I could feel the redness on my face. To think she'd go this far for me. The movements of the musical notes became more active. No, did it look more active because I was drunk? Yoo Sangah smiled at Alyona drunkenly. "It is nice to drink with you, I was a bit lonely."

I watch the two females race to drink the remaining soju bottles, I felt a bit better as a mellow smell rose, I looked away as a heavy feeling encompasses my chest. I suddenly turned around when I heard bottles tumbling down and found that the two were very close to each other. I had been quite far away from them...

I don't like how this was turning, I was miscalculated to let Alyona take my stead for me. The sound of their drunken breathing was harsh. I didn't know if it was Alyona's breathing or the breathing of Yoo Sangah. The latter female lightly touched Alyona. Their faces were a hairsbreadth away from each other. "Alyona-ssi," Yoo Sangah let out a needy sigh to my girlfriend.

"Yes, Sangah-ssi?" Alyona's trademark guileful voice replied. She skimmed Yoo Sangah's cheek and approached her face closer, I watched with bated breath. My chest felt an unfamiliar tightness that cause my breathing to turn ragged. I dart at Alyona's face which was illuminated by the moon's light.

It was a face free of makeup but it was hard to find any blemishes, Even from afar, you can tell how ethereal she was. Yoo Sangah slowly leaned toward Alyona more. Their face was getting closer and closer. A pair of quarter notes and eighth notes danced intensely around us three. My heart started to beat faster at the scene in front of me.
