"we were too close to the stars."

seri leaned onto the wall, witnessing the lovely dovey couple in front of her. she rasply laughed when she heard faint fake-gags from mika.

'just when i thought things will finally be alright..'

there were faint sounds of clapping of hands by someone, closing the distance between the hall entrance to their table.

seri's bore brown eyes quickly lightened up, assuming it was riki.

"you got a pretty one, sunghoon." the deep voice stated.

not riki.

"oh, hi jay!" mika greeted as the guy-named-jay hugged mika and sunghoon.

"seri!" the same voice called out, making her finally look up from her phone. "i finally meet you!"jay chuckled.

the girl muttered a confused 'oh' not sure how he knew her. to which he cleared, "i'm like riki's older brother, heard alot about you from him."

he then looks at the girls and sunghoon, "you guys mind if i borrow her or something?"

after clearing all distractions, seri finds herself going with a stranger to the drinks corner.

"what drink can I buy you?" he asked, smiling at the girl wearing blue. she shrugged and replied with a soft shake of her head.

"do you know where is riki?" she blurted out. and she swore she saw jay narrowing his eyes at her. he inched closer, now in front of her, towering her. and then broke into a smile. creepy. seri thought.

"i don't know." he muttered. and before she could reply, asked for a dance. "no i'm good, here as riki's date actually, he didn't pick my calls nor did he see my messages."

"consider me your riki for today then." he laughed.

she chuckled and nodded as he tooks her hands in his, as they both got on the dance floor, as her eyes wandered around due to awkwardness, she swore she saw riki.

brushing her thoughts off, being still mad at him for not coming, she smiled at jay and continued the dance.
