Chapter five

"There's a party to celebrate their win, you in?" Jiwon asks

"Oh I don't know, I'm not into parties" I admit

"Come on it'll be fun!"

"No wonder, you're a prude" Heeseung snickers, "Stop it" Jungwon slaps his head and he just laughs

This is the event that happens multiple times every day, and I'm getting sick of it

"How about we check out the party and if you don't wanna stay Jay can bring you home" Jiwon offers looking at her brother

"Am I an Uber?" Jay asks

"My personal one" Jiwon puts her hands over her heart and smiles

"Please" She begs me, "Okay" I agree just to prove Heeseung wrong

I'm not a prude

I mean I've never kissed anyone, talked to anyone, dated anyone, held hands, hugged... and the list can go on, but I'm not a prude I'm just not interested

Now that's a lie

All I want in life is to be loved by someone, for them to hold me through tough times, kiss me passionately, miss me when we are apart

But i know that it will never happen, I mean I'm me, and everyone is uninterested in the girl who's gotten bullied her whole life

"It's at Ni-Ki's, he throws the best parties" Jiwon informs me

"Haerin, come get a drink!" I hear someone yell over the music across the room, surprised I can hear it honestly

I look around to see Ni-Ki motioning for me to come over to him and so I do

"What do you want?" He asks

"Just water is fine" I smile

"Water? You don't drink?" He questions

"Never" I tighten my lips

"Of course you don't" An arm swings around my shoulders and I look up to see a certain doe eyes looking back at me

"You know what, I'll take this" I shove his arm off me and lift a random can, cracking it open and taking a sip

I put my head down as I gag, it tastes disgusting

"It's good right?" Heeseung takes the can out of my hand and takes a sip of it before handing it back to me

"You can keep it" I shove the can into his chest and walk away, "Not gonna take another?"

I spin back and take another can, taking a gulp in front of him and quickly rushing away so he can't see me gag

"Haerin, let's play truth or dare!" Jiwon runs up to me slurring on her words and dragging me to a room with multiple people sitting in a circle, a bottle in the middle

I sit down beside her, can staying untouched in front of me, Heeseung and Ni-Ki join us

It's me, Jiwon, Heeseung, Ni-Ki, Sunghoon, Jay and a few people I don't know

"I'll go first!" Jiwon takes the bottle and spins it, landing on her ex, Sunghoon

"Truth or dare?" She asks him nervously

"Truth" He responds staring at her intensely

"Do you ever think about us?" She blurts out, she's so drunk that I bet she doesn't even know what she's doing right now, she's gonna regret this tomorrow

"Yes" Sunghoon responds and takes the bottle, spinning it without another word

It lands on Heeseung

"Truth or dare?" He asks his friend

"Obviously dare, you know me" He chuckles waiting on his dare

"I dare you to go this whole party without hooking up with anyone" He laughs knowing his friend will immediately argue

"Truth!" Heeseung exclaims as fast as ever

"Who's the prettiest girl in this circle?"

Heeseung glances at me as he speaks up

"Min-Ji"

He smirks at me as a girl with brown hair starts giggling with her friends, I roll my eyes as he spins the bottle

Please don't be me

Please don't be me

"Haerin" He grins, "I suppose I should just give you a truth—" I cut him off

"Dare"

"Oh okay" He chuckles looking me up and down as he thinks

"I dare you to play a drinking game with me"

"What game?" I ask

"Let's see who can take the most shots" He shrugs his shoulders

"Heeseung—" Ni-Ki starts but his friend is quick to speak over him

"Oh come on, she won't do it"

"What are we shooting?" I ask and he stares at me speechless as he leaves the room, comes back with a bottle of Soju and two shot glasses

He pours them both and hands one to me, "Ready?" He holds his up and I do the same, we clang our glasses and shoot them

The liquid burns my throat as I cough into my elbow and he just laughs at me

"You done already?"

I grab the bottle and pour them again, shooting them over and over

I think we are about seven shots in and I'm already feeling it hitting me, this was such a bad idea

"Haerin, you don't have to keep going" Jiwon tries to stop me but I let Heeseung pour more

"You won't last till ten"

And the eleventh shot burns my throat, I'm slowly loosing control over my body but Heeseung is not effected at all

"Are you sure you wanna keep going?" He laughs as he lifts up the bottle seeing there is only enough for one more

I snatch it off him and instead of pouring the shot I take it right from the bottle, slamming the bottle back onto the floor

"She's committed, yeah?" Heeseung laughs at me, hitting Jay on the shoulder

"Ni-Ki, go get us another bottle"

And the second bottle is now halfway finished, I am so out of it, my hands feel wierd and my vision is disoriented

"Let's stop here, you win, never expected that from you" Heeseung takes my shot glass and I try to reach for it again but my head slams to the ground

"Hey, you're okay" I hear Jiwon say as she lifts me up, "Ni-Ki, have you got a spare room?"

"Yeah, come with me" I'm thrown over someone's shoulders but I'm not too sure who as I'm carried upstairs

My body suddenly collided with a soft surface as a blanket is thrown over me, "Just try get some sleep"

I can only nod is response as my eyes fall shut, and in the next two minutes I am in the deepest sleep I have ever been in
