"Drink."
"..."

"Should I poison you? Just drink some."
"...Why is it like this?"
"what."
"Why are you suddenly acting so nice...?"
"under..."

Do I look like trash to you?I nodded slightly at his words. That cold voice from last time. What can I do if I can't forget it even if I want to? Even though I didn't feel any emotion towards them, the shock lingered. Now, I even suspect people who pass by.
He sighed, frustrated with me, who had been keeping my mouth shut like a mute. I felt a vibration in my eco-bag, and I frantically pulled out my phone. It was Seokjin. I made a gesture to answer the call and pressed the call button.
"...hello?"
-"Hey, what's going on at school? There's a police car parked there."
"Ah... that's..."
-"Yeah. Speak slowly."
"..."
Was it really the right thing to say? It was the right thing to say. I didn't want to bother my busy brother. I raised my voice slightly and replied that nothing was wrong. Kim Taehyung's expression contorted at my answer. He reached out and snatched my phone...???
"what..."
"hello."
-"...who are you?"

"I don't care if he's the female protagonist's boyfriend or someone she's seeing. But I have to tell you that Jeong Yeo-ju almost died today."
-"...Please explain in detail."
"Today, a kidnapper almost kidnapped her in the study. But my friend saved her life. Jeong Yeo-ju will be shocked, so let her rest for a while."
-"I'll take you to the hospital just in case. And there's no need to be jealous, since he's my cousin."
"What is that..."
-"When you go to pick up Yeoju later, show your face. Your friends too. Please say thank you."
"If it works."
-"Then that's it."
He turned off his phone screen and handed it to me nonchalantly. I was dumbfounded. Was he really crazy? I thought about hitting him.

I was taken aback by Kim Taehyung who looked so serious.


"..."
"Brother!"
"Hey lady!!"

"Seokjin oppa!!!"
It was so nice to see you after such a long time. I ran over and hugged you.Did you miss me a lot, oppa? Is that what you call it?I heard from Jeon Jungkook later that it was like family reuniting after 10 years...

"Hello. I'm Kim Seok-jin, your cousin from Yeoju."
"This is Park Jimin."
"This is Kim Taehyung."
"This is Jeon Jungkook."

"They're all young and tall."
"Let's go now. I'm hungry."
"Okay. Then we'll be going now."
"...excuse me."

If it's okay, can I go with you?"M, what!" I looked at my brother with wide eyes. "No!! Tell him no!" I thought I'd really get sick if I ate with them! Did my earnestness get through?

"Let's go together. I think your aunt will like it too."
He smiled faintly and gave his permission.

"..."

"The more, the better."
"..."
That guy. Even after all these years, he still teases me.

"Hey, Jeong Yeo-ju, you're here...huh?"

"uh?"
"Wow. Long time no see you guys!"
Angels of Korea University~!I was just going to sit there and let them go, but that damn popular guy, Jung Ho-seok, knew them. It's weird not knowing. That kid graduated from Korea University too. Damn. Even my mom and aunt seemed happy about it. I don't know anymore. It's all Seok-jin oppa's fault.
"What is your name?"

"Me?"
"Yeah. It's cute because it's round!"
"It's Jeon Jungkook."
"Oh my. Jungkook is so cute, Yeoju."

"That guy... no, that senior?"
"huh."
"...Mom, what's wrong with your eyes?"
"I'm fine."
Is Mom wearing colored glasses? How can she be cute? This place is crazy. Introducing those guys to Seokjin was the beginning of the problem. Just run away. That'll do. I cautiously backed away, weighing my options.

"Yeoju. Where are you going?"
"Huh?!..Ah. Ahahaha... That bathroom.."
"That's not the bathroom."
"Ah...hahaha! I suddenly want to eat jelly!"
"Let's go together. I want to eat too."
Is he really clueless? Or does he just want to tease me? Or does he just want to tease me? I think it's probably the latter. He was chasing me, laughing heartily. He was quite frantic. Should I run away now? No. What if I get caught? But should I try? I rummaged through my pockets and found a ten-thousand won bill. With that much, I could take a taxi home.
I spotted a taxi with a sign saying "Empty Car" and tried to wave it off, but it suddenly grabbed me. To whom? To Park Jimin. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't overcome his strength. What the hell. What the hell do you want me to do?
"what are you doing!"

"Even if you go, buy me some jelly before you go."
"You have money! You can use it!"
"I saved your life."
"..Is that really the case?"
"There is."
"Whew..."
"Let's go. I want to eat jelly."
Oh...Lord...Why did you put me through this ordeal...I ended up spending 5,000 won just on jelly at the convenience store. That bastard. Wear white shoes and step on puddles. You can go now. What are you going to do, Mr. Lee...I don't have any money. He offered me a jelly with a very apologetic look, but I ignored him. Did you think jelly would dissolve it? Wake up.

"Go in and take care of your facial expressions."
"..."
"I don't want to be hated."
"You've already received a lot from me, no, from me."
"That's different."
"pup."
The one I briefly thought was a cripple was a cripple.

Finally, we returned to a place I didn't want to go. We must have become so close that Mom was already holding a tall bottle of wine. Huh? Wait a minute. Wine...? Eureka. Let's just drink it all down and go home. I quickly picked up the bottle and poured each of us a glass. It's no secret that we filled it up to the brim.
The first drink is a shot, right?Surprisingly, I was the one who said that. I really wanted to go home. My words seemed to cheer my mom and aunt up, and they started downing shots of wine. I, too, couldn't hide my smile as I drank.
"Drink slowly..."
"Okay. You drink slowly too, oppa."

"Okay... If you get drunk, you'll get in trouble!"
"...Oppa, your eyes are open."
"No."
"Yeah... no..."
Eight of us managed to finish three bottles of wine. I swore I wouldn't get drunk, but I was already dead drunk. In my 22 years, this was the first time I'd consumed so much alcohol since the freshman year. My goal was clearly to get home quickly, but I just kept breathing heavily.
"Phuhu..."
After that, I don't know.

"eww..."
When I opened my eyes, I was on someone's back. It was Seokjin oppa. His shoulders were broad. I thought it was Seokjin oppa, so I wiggled around and hugged his neck tighter. There seemed to be a mirror on the wall, so it felt like I was in an apartment elevator.
But did Seokjin oppa wear this perfume? Well, it's been years since we last met, so maybe things have changed. Seokjin oppa got off the elevator, came into the house, and after wandering around for a bit, went into my room. I thought about saying something, but I didn't have the strength.
I found myself smiling without realizing it, lying on my soft bed. Home is the best... That's right... Ah... I'm so sleepy.
"...good night."
"..."
"...have a nice dream."
I wanted to talk about it, even though I didn't say it out loud.
I hope you have a good dream too, oppa.

"Ugh..."
"Are you awake, you bitch!"
"Ah!! Why did you hit me!!"
As soon as I woke up, I ran away from my mom who was smashing my back. I could hear Jung Ho-seok's retching from the bathroom. That kid must have had a hard time drinking last night. Ugh! Ugh. While I was looking away for a moment, a cushion hit me in the face.
"Why are you really doing that?!"
"Oh my... I really feel sorry for Jungkook!"
"...Senior? Why, senior?"
"You bitch! You came in here yesterday being carried by Jungkook!!"
"What? It wasn't Seokjin oppa???"
"Seokjin got drunk before you and went in with his sister! You were so drunk that you couldn't move, so Jungkook carried you."
"Uhhhhhhhhhh..."
"Tell this to Jungkook. Tell him I'm sorry!"
My mind was spinning. It was absurd. The person who hugged me in the elevator, the one who laid me on the bed, wasn't Seokjin oppa, but Jeon Jungkook? Aaaah! I ran to my room, dove into bed, and kicked the blankets. I was crazy. Jeong Yeo-ju was really crazy! I hoped she hadn't made a mistake? I hoped she hadn't said anything. I thought about everything I'd said yesterday.

"..."


My face became hot.
