Chapter 31 - Here Again

We arrived to the venue of where the party was keeping and I felt excited to finally be attending one.

"This is going to be so fun." said Harin as she held my hand pulling me through the doors of the building.

I giggled along with her as Minseok shook his head and filled us to the elevator.

It was a penthouse party I think Harin had said the other day so the view will no doubt be beautiful.

It was around 7:00pm and the sun will be setting so I was excited to watch it.

The elevator dinged and we got off bouncing with excitement until I realized where we were.

Why?

Why was I here again?

Is this some sort of game for you universe?

Can't a girl get a break?

I stopped dead in my tracks as the place I had so never never return to is the said place where I was now all dressed up and ready to party.

My breathing became deep and heavy and Harin looked at me worried as she held my hand, "are you okay? Are you feeling cramps do you need a tampon or something?"

"Huh? Oh yeah cramps. No I'm fine. Let's go."

She held onto my hand as pulled me towards the door and opened it revealing a semi crowded room with with people dancing and having a good time.

"You ready?" Harin asked as Minseok stepped it and I shook my head yes and we both went in.

Harin pulled me towards the living to sit on on couch and I felt kind of uncomfortable remembering what I had done on this very couch last night and I started to search the crowded room for Shiwoo "The night is still young so more people will be hear soon."

I didn't care about other people I just wanted to make sure that Shiwoo didn't see me because I didn't feel like dealing it drama right now but I just nodded to what Harin said.

Five minutes had passed with me sitting on the couch sweating up waves a Harin and Minseok dance together in the crowd.

I had been successful in avoiding Shiwoo so far by staying still but I was getting thirty and bored so I decided to go to the kitchen and get something to drink.

I saw saw Soju, Vodka and all different sorts of liquor on the island but after last night I couldn't trust myself to take a sip of rum.

I am really wild when I drink.

I opened the fridge holding onto the the door and as I bent over looking for soda or water or anything to drink when I felt someone behind me.

"Missed me?" asked the voice and jumped hitting my head on the bottom part of the freezer door in the process.

I spun around holding the spot on my head that came in contact and glared at him, "what are you doing here?"

He proceeded to lean on the island arms folded as he eyed me up and down before he spoke, "I live her, remember? Oh and uh you look nice although I prefer you with no clothes on."

My mouth opened and closed like a gaping fish as I was at a lost for words.

He took delight in my dumbfounded self and he walked away smirking.

I scoffed as I grabbed a bottle of soda and returned to the couch flopping down with a huff.

How dare he get me all flustered like that as if he had some control over me.

I hated him so my heart should not be skipping beats.

I huffed once more as I took a swig of my soda when an unwanted stranger graced me with his presence, " woah woah clam down princess. It's not going any where."

I rolled my eyes at I chugged my drink dropping the bottle on the floor with a loud burp of satisfaction.

I had burped with the intention of scaring him off but it seems that my lack of manners only intrigued him farther and I and he sat down on the couch sliding closer to me each time I slid away.

He reeked of alcohol and I didn't feel like dealing with drunk horny men tonight so I made a motion to leave my safe place on the couch when he grabbed my arm.

"Where are you going baby? I just got here."

"Yeah and now I'm leaving. Enjoy the couch sir." I pulled my arm with a forcing seeing as he was holding as if I were dear life and ran into the crowd to find Harin and Minjae.

I tried my best to slip through the crowd of dancing young adults as I had spotted Minseok.

I approached him expecting to see Harin but she was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Harin?" I yelled over the music.

" What?" yelled Minseok in my ear almost making me go deaf.

"Harin where is-" I tried but he cut me off.

"What!?"

"Harin" I tried again.

"Who?"

By this time I had lost my patience and decided to give up, "just forget it."

"Huh the toilet? I think that it's that way."

I sighed and rolled my eyes at him as I walked away towards the direction of the bed room.

I needed some peace and quiet.

I have come to accept the terms that parties or just socializing in general are not for me.

My social battery was already low.

I went inside Shiwoo's room and thanked God that it was empty.

Memories of last night flashed across my mind as soon as I closed the door and I sighed leaning against the door feeling used and broken.

I walked up to the bed running my hand over the sheets when I heard somebody coming through the door sounding as if they were arguing and so in a flash my fight or fight was triggered and I ran to the closet closing the door behind me afraid that it would have been Shiwoo and indeed it was but it was also Harin?

What were they doing together and what were they arguing about?

I held my mouth shut a I had no other place to go or option so I just eavesdropped on their conversation unintentionally and I must say the topic was quite a shock.
