Chapter 69 - Get attached [2]

The cold sensation on his forehead caused Sookyung to raise his head, and his eyes fell on Moon Jiwoo who held a can of beer against his forehead.

"What are you doing?" he questioned.

Oh Sookyung was seated outside of the house, and a serious expression sat upon his face. A frown was visible upon his features while creases were present between both of his eyebrows.

Furrowing her eyebrows at his question, Jiwoo hit his head slightly with the bottle of beer and vocalized, "Is this how rudely you speak to someone who brings you beer?"

Forcing out a polite smile upon his face, Sookyung sarcastically said, "Your Majesty, I apologise for my impudence. Hopefully, you will be able to overlook the serious crime I have created just now."

"Omo! Since you are apologising this sincerely to me, I will accept it," Jiwoo said before winking at him.

Oh Sookyung scoffed at her.

Walking forward, Moon Jiwoo took a seat beside the boy, and raising her head, she stared at the starry night sky.

"You appeared to be depressed, and I am in a mood to get drunk," she voiced out, opening the lid to her can of beer after she had placed Sookyung's one beside him.

"Not interested," Sookyung voiced out, about to stand up.

Irritated by his behaviour, Moon Jiwoo extended her hand towards her, and as he was about to stand upon his feet, she grabbed his wrist in order to pull him back.

As he collided against the ground, she threatened, "I will burn you into pieces if you dare to refuse right now. I took the effort to approach someone like you yet you are running away."

Turning at her, he glared and stated, "I don't want to stay near a drunk idiot like you. You are annoying when you are not drunk, and I wonder what disaster you will be creating once you get drunk."

Curving her lips to form a small smirk, Jiwoo said, "I am sure that is just an excuse to cover up how easily you get drunk, and you are just afraid of doing something embarrassing when you are drunk. Such a loser!"

"If you think that is going to provoke me into entering, Shin Daerin, then you are clearly wrong," he spoke out, "You can not make—"

Before he was able to continue further, she extended her hand towards him and shot a lightning ball beside his leg. A spot was made on the ground as the dirt flew upwards, and the sudden attack caused Sookyung to be startled.

"Sookyung, you know how accurately I am able to shoot. Next time, I might not miss the shot like I did this time around," Jiwoo spoke out.

"Wow! Shin Daerin, you are really incredible! I can't believe that you are threatening me for something like this!" Sookyung spoke out, "But I can just call Hyungwon."

"I will attack you before Hyungwon is able to come, and it's not like as if you train like me. An injured leg would not cause much difference to your daily life. You just laze around any way," she said.

"Cause no difference? Shin Daerin, you are really frustrating. Do you know how badly I want to kill you at times?" he spoke out.

"What's the use for dreaming for the impossible? Even if a weakling like you practices for decades and centuries, you will be unable to beat me," Jiwoo smugly vocalised, "Now, shut up! I don't have much patience within myself."

Clapping both of his hands together, Oh Sookyung said, "Since you are this eager to drink, let's have a competition then. Let's see who can drink the most!"

"Cool! The loser owes the winner a favour. What about that?" she vocalised.

"Fine with me," Sookyung answered.

"Min Hyungwon, get us some more of the beer at here!" Moon Jiwoo yelled.

°°°

Moon Jiwoo had already finished off four bottles of beer by now, and her hand held on to the fifth can. As for Oh Sookyung, he was still on his first can.

As Moon Jiwoo gulped to drink down the alcoholic drink in the can, Sookyung turned to look at her and questioned, "What made you want to get drunk all of a sudden?"

"I am not telling you," she spoke out. Looking at him, she stuck out her tongue towards him.

He let out a sigh and voiced out, "Seems like your drunk self is as much as annoying."

She let out a chuckle and continued to drink the beer as if Sookyung's words had not reached into her ear.

After she was done drinking this can of beer, she gripped the can tightly and watched as the can squashed together. As she threw the can on the ground, a sound was created, and laughter escaped from Moon Jiwoo's mouth.

"I feel so happy!" she exclaimed, "Ah! I want to sing!"

"No, don't sing. I swear that I will be tying you up if you attempt to sing in this moment," he threatened, glaring at her. 

"Why? Do you think my singing is bad? Don't worry! It is not. I have…" Jiwoo vocalised before looking down at her fingers.

Raising her fingers one by one, she continued, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...no, no, no, I have lots and lots of fans that can not be counted with my hands. They like my singing a lot! They say that I am legendary singer!"

"What nonsense are you saying now? I knew that you are going to get problematic when you get drunk! I wonder what possessed me to agree with this," Sookyung vocalised.

"You don't believe me, right?" she questioned, "Should I sing to prove it to you? You will be impressed by my legendary vocals."

Before she was able to stand up in order to demonstrate her vocals, Oh Sookyung grabbed on to her wrist and pulled her back.

He then said, "No, there is no need for that. You can just drink."

Seeing that, Moon Jiwoo stared down at the ground and obediently sat on the ground. A crestfallen expression settled on her face while a sigh was escaped from her mouth.

Noticing how silent Jiwoo had gotten, Sookyung mumbled, "What drama is she planning to create now?"

"You don't like me singing to you, right? You know that I sing badly, right? That's what all of those people say beside my back. It's not like I want to sing badly on my own. I tried hard; I really tried my best to improve. 

But they did not care about that. They just criticized me, calling me an evil lady. What did I do so bad for them to hate me? I never tried to harm anyone and wanted to be friends with everyone, so why are they this mean to me?" Jiwoo spoke out.

Oh Sookyung noticed the tears that had formed on the corner of her eyes, and his eyes widened at that. Although he vaguely understood those words of Jiwoo, he could see the pain she was in.

As one of the tears trailed down her cheek, he found his ċhėst being squeezed tightly, and before he was able to process it properly, he extended his hand towards her, pulling her into a tight hug.

Patting on her back softly, he said, "It hurts for you, right? I really don't know how to comfort you in this. I will be bringing more tragedies in your life, and I am sorry for that. But I will try to prevent you from dying as much as possible."

A sharp pain permeated through her forehead as Moon Jiwoo walked down the stairs, and the memories of the last night remained as blur to her.

"Ah! Being hungover sucks!" she exclaimed.

The last thing she could recall was that Oh Sookyung pulled her into an embrace, and other than that, she could not remember any of the contents of last night.

It seemed that she was unable to control herself and let herself get too much drunk. Then, she recalled about the competition she and Sookyung had, and hoped that she was the winner to it.

Owing Sookyung a favour sounded horrible to her. Thinking about what horrendous things the man could make her do caused chill to travel down her spine.

Walking over to the dining room, she spotted Oh Sookyung at the corner of the room and questioned, "Yah! You thief, who won last night? If you dare to lie, I will be burning holes in that leg of yours!"

After those words had left her mouth, she shifted her line of sight, and as her eyes fell on top of a certain figure, her eyes widened due to the shock. 

She then exclaimed, "Yah! What are you doing at here, You Bastard!?"

"No, Jiwoo, stop," Minnie vocalised, but it was too late.
