Narda woke up in the middle of the night to the karaoke machine off in a dark and quiet room. Her drunkenness had subsided and now she was feeling like her throat was dry and she needed water. She looked around to find Nari and Kyungsoo fast asleep on the opposite couch. She looked around for Chanyeol, and found him on the cold linoleum floor when she heard his soft snoring. She herself was laying on her stomach on the couch, a hand draped over the edge, and as her finger tips touched the ground for an instant, she pulled her hand back at the cold sensation.

She quickly felt bad for Chanyeol. Her hand went to his shoulder to shake him out of his sleep. "Chan..." She called to him in a whisper. He stirred in his sleep for a moment, but didn't open his eyes.

She tried shaking him a second time. His eyes slowly opened up as he turned to lay on his back, a smile forming on his lips. "Morning, little liar."

Narda grabbed her phone off the couch to check the time. It was only three in the morning. She heaved a sigh, "Its not time to get up yet. I was just waking you because I don't think you should sleep on the floor. You'll catch a cold." She paused, biting down on her lip, thinking whether it was wise to make the offer she was about to make. "Come up here and we'll share the couch..."

Chanyeol was wide awake and stood up with surprising speed, a grin was now present on his lips. "Yeah, thanks Guti."

She sat up on the couch and got back on her feet, stretching her arms high above her head and letting out a yawn.Her hands quickly went to adjust the fabric of her dress that had hiked up her legs while she was sleeping, and then she went on to fix her long hair that was a mess. Her face was flushed red, and eyes tired with sleep. Her stomach was churning as the alcohol was beginning to leave her system. Gesturing to the only other couch in the room, she said, "You get settled in. I'll be right back. I'm going to find a vending machine or something. I'm really thirsty." She smiled at him politely.

"I'll go with you." He said, sticking to her side before she could even protest.

They walked out onto a hall where there were more private rooms, and Narda remembered there were vending machines in the lobby. They reached the machines and Narda purchased four water bottles. One for her, and one for each of the others. Chanyeol had protested that he didn't want her to pay for them. But Narda insisted, since the boys hadn't let Nari and Narda pay for the rental of the room or the alcohol.

"The least I can do is get us rehydrated." She said, grabbing two water bottles and handing the other two to him. She quickly opened hers and took a long swig, sighing in satisfaction as she felt the cool liquid travel down her dry throat. 

They were back in the room within minutes and they set the two extra water bottles by the couch where Nari and Kyungsoo slept. Chanyeol then laid down on the couch and Narda laid down beside him, with him spooning her back. He had taken off his coat, which he was using as a blanket and he pulled it over her small frame. Narda brought her legs up to her chest to let his coat cover her entirely.

"Goodnight, Channie." She sighed as sleep began to overtake her.

"Goodnight, Guti." He replied, with a smile evident in his tone.

It didn't take very long before the two of them drifted off to sleep.

Jongin and Baekhyun were worried for their room mates when they never returned to the dorms that night. When Baekhyun woke up that morning, he saw his friend's bed was still neatly made like no one had slept in it. He quickly jumped out of bed, fearing the worst after they left the restaurant. He thought that perhaps something happened to him, and he regretted having gotten into an argument with him the previous night.
