"Hey! Stop giving the lady alcohol-"
"Woo, who are you to stop talking like that!"
"He's your boyfriend, right? So stop eating~"
We'd been dating since that day, but Soonyoung said she'd been hit and hurled a lot of abuse at Minkyu. Fortunately, everyone had found their match, but at the time, I felt sorry for Minkyu.
"If you had come to me, I would have treated you well."
" Don't be a jerkHave a drink."
"Drink? Yes, drink!"
"No, you shouldn't drink it!"
Fortunately, though, everyone around me remains good friends now.
We met up at a bar after a long time, and the drinks were flowing down quickly. Since I was preparing for a job, I was stressed. Some of them had already found jobs and were interning, and they would often drink and curse their department leaders.
"Baby, I want to go home..."
"Okay, let's go. Hey, let's go."
"Hey, go away-."
"Every time I see Yoon Yeo-ju, I get drunk."
"Let's not drink with him."
Soonyoung sat me down on a chair in front of the convenience store, pulled out a glass of cold water, and handed it to me. After a few sips, I felt the hangover slowly subsiding, and my focus began to return.
Next to me, I saw Sunyoung hanging my bag around her neck. When our eyes met, she sighed and lightly placed a kiss on my forehead.
"Oh my, I can't even drink alcohol."
"Chi- I hope you drink well."
"Are you going to stay up late drinking because it's the weekend again tomorrow? Let's go to bed now, I'm tired."
"What did the team leader say again?"
I was carried by Sunyoung and we chatted about this and that as we headed home.
My head was pounding, perhaps because I'd had too much to drink on the weekend. When I opened my eyes, I saw Soonyoung sound asleep. The sight brought a smile to my face, and I hugged her tighter. Soonyoung, perhaps sleepily, hugged me tighter, too.
"Ugh... Juya..."
"What, you're awake?"
"Hmm... Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Let's eat breakfast quickly."
"Sleep a little more..."
I stroked Sunyoung's head and she whined as she sat up. When I reached out, she lifted me up, hugging me and giving me a quick kiss.
I opened the fridge because I wanted to make some hangover cure, but I had almost run out of ingredients because I had been eating for a while, so I put water in a pot to boil some ramen.
"Let's eat and go shopping."
"Okay, I get it. Are you studying well? If you're not, you don't have to do it."
"No, I have to do it too."
It wasn't even that long ago that I gave up, but I was already envious of Sunyoung, who had been good at studying.
I should have done something when the kids were talking...
So, after finishing our ramen, we headed to the supermarket near our house. It was a relatively large one, so we pulled a cart and stopped here and there. We grabbed a few items from the sample corner and bought some leftover items, and time flew by.
"I bought more than I thought."
"That's right... the cost of living will drop."
"Don't worry! I'll earn it all for you."
"What are you doing, oppa? LOL."
After grumbling and going to the market, we came back to find a familiar pair of shoes at the front door. We entered the house, wondering if it was real, and sure enough, Jeonghan was watching TV as if it were his own house.
"Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you."
"No, don't say anything..."
"Brother? What's going on?"
"I just hope my brother and brother-in-law are doing well."
"What about your brother-in-law? We're not even married."
"You won't marry me?!"
"No, I haven't done it yet..!"
While we were bickering, Jeonghan rummaged through a bag of snacks, then sat back down on the sofa to watch TV. I chuckled at the sight and started organizing the groceries I'd just seen. Soonyoung was talking to Jeonghan, and I went into my room to change into some comfortable clothes.
"Are you going to have lunch?"
"No, I just came for a bit because I have a lunch appointment nearby."
"Promise~? Could it be a woman?? "
"Come on, hyung~~"
"That's not it! I'm going."
"No, where are you going lol."
When I teased him about meeting a woman after a long time, he blushed and ran out of the house, his ears turning red as if he'd actually met a woman. Soonyoung and I burst into laughter, and I lay down on the sofa with my head on Soonyoung's lap.
I didn't take my eyes off the TV while chewing the snack that Soonyoung put in my mouth, and we looked like a newlywed couple.
"Oh really? Hahahahahahahaha"
"Oh my gosh, what should I do.."
"This is really delicious, what is it?"
"Yoon Yeo-ju, what time is it now?"
"...I love you, heroine."
I love you too, Soonyoung. No matter what happens, I will believe in you and wait for you.
Let's be together forever.
