Ah, okay, okay. I'll stop eating now.
I swept my chest, trying to soothe my nausea. These crazy people. How many hours have they been drinking without even getting tired?
I stared blankly at the glass of alcohol Senior Hoseok offered me. Just wait and see. If I hold out for another year, I'll be done with this. If a freshman tells me to do it, I'll do it. What can I do?
"Haha... Thank you-...?"
"Hey, hey. Stop feeding him and go play with me, Hoseok."
Just before it was about to fall into my hands, Seokjin, who had just barely managed to knock down the glass, playfully raised his voice. Senior Hoseok frowned at this, then raged, "I won't drink with you!" Seokjin's calm face—believe it or not, it's the face of someone who'd downed three bottles by himself, barely eating any snacks.
Suddenly, I started craving alcohol.
It was exactly two years ago. Kim Seok-jin, my high school senior, and I had a study group together. Seok-jin's goal may have been to improve my grades, but what really resonated with me was his sweet voice,
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"Huh? Yeah, yeah..."
"···Be honest. Can't you concentrate?"Are you sick of me already? That won't do. You should consider going to college with me."
But it was a really awesome face.
Of course, I know he had absolutely no ulterior motives. He's known as a kind senior, and I doubt he'd ever received a confession or two. That's why, even now, he still hasn't confessed.
But why is that kindness so hot today? Wow, it's so hot. Is this why alcohol is so scary? Today is really···I want to confess.
"My lady. -My lady."
"Yes."
"Are you okay? Do you want to go out with me for a bit?"
...Hey, Mr. Kim Seok-jin. I'm having some really dangerous thoughts right now, so if you call me out like that...
"yes..."
I have to go out.

Oh my head is going to explode, seriously...
Jiying-
I felt like I was getting a call, but I was so hungover I didn't want to answer. Let's just see who it was.
"...Seokjin oppa?"
What's going on this morning?
"hello."
"- Yeah, you're awake now?"
"Yes... Did you get home safely yesterday? I remember you dropping me off at the bus stop."
"- Yeah. I did. But is that all you remember?"
"yes?"
"- Get ready and come out. You promised me yesterday, we'll get over our hangover together."
"Huh? Me? Really? Wow."
"- Okay, meet me in front of XX Haejangguk at 10:30."
"Oh, yes, yes-."
Why did you make this promise, heroine?
···
"You're here? Oh, you look better than I thought. I was worried because you were having a hard time yesterday."
"Really? I look terrible right now..."
"You look like you regret making the appointment yesterday."
"What would you like to eat?"
"You're beating around the bush. We only sell hangover soup here, my lord."
haha···. Come to think of it, you don't even have a hangover. Of course, I thought that to myself. I was worried about your swollen face, and my stomach was upset and I was feeling weak.
After that, they were both focused on sobering up without saying anything else, but Seokjin suddenly put down his spoon, pulled out a tissue, and wiped his mouth. What the heck, he didn't even finish eating.
"Why don't you eat more?"
"······. You really don't remember yesterday?"
"...Huh? Why? Did I do something stupid?"
"How did you get home yesterday?"
"Yesterday... I ate ice cream with my brother. You even saw me get on the bus, right? I walked there just fine, so it's strange."
"Wow, this is driving me crazy. I never thought it would happen. How come you're acting normal after confessing to me?"
Crazy. Seriously crazy! I don't remember anything at all. I'm going to go even crazier and jump!
I can't say that.
"Ah, that, that's right...um-."
Please come up with something plausible. How am I going to handle this?
"i like you."
"···."
"Actually, I said I liked you yesterday too. But the drunken confession···. It's invalid."
"That's why···. "Do you want to meet me?"
