"Dinner? Do I have to join?" Sophie asked making Song stare at her.

"It's to welcome you..." Song raised an eyebrow wondering if Sophie was just dumb or totally uninterested.

"So do I have to join...?" She asked again.

"Obviously!?" Song frowned and walked out of the room.

Sophie sighed. She already had plans. She didn't want to cancel her dinner with Jake. Or maybe, she just didn't want to face Jay. She didn't love him, she just longed for him.

They entered the big hall which was packed along with a few people she knew from the company. Song and Sunghoon. "Jay didn't come?"

She put her bag on a chair next to Song's.

"Where are you going?" The girl asked as she saw Sophie leaving.

"The toilet?" She replied.

"You know where it is?" Song asked. Sophie kept looking at her. She didn't. But she could ask someone.

"You don't do you?" She said while getting up. "I'll take you. I need to wash my hands as well."

"Can I... Can I ask you something?" Song asked as the two washed their hands.

"Sure."

"Do you know Jay? Like... From before?" She asked.

"No," she chuckled. "What made you think that way?" Obviously it was a lie but she couldn't tell her. Although Song was nice to her, she was still just some stranger.

"Oh.. nothing. I heard your husband used to be friends with him so I thought.." she smiled. She too lied, she couldn't tell her just yet that Sunghoon was going to use Jay to make her suffer. Sophie wouldn't trust her yet. She was still just some stranger after all.

The two made their way back to the table. Sophie quickly looked for Jay as Song had just screamed his name while waving but as their eyes met, she was quicker to look away.

*Ring*

Sophie looked for her phone on he table, she couldn't find it as her view was hazy after all the drinks they made her take.

Sunghoon stretched his hand from behind the two girls sitting together and got hold of the phone.

"Here," he handed her the phone.

"Oh.. it's Jake," she smiled brightly while picking up the call.

"Hi~" she said with eyes that looked everywhere yet no where in particular.

"Why are you calling me when you're sitting right in front of me?" She said while waving at a man she had no idea was.

"Are you drunk?" He asked.

"Yes, I drunk beer... No, no, wrong grammar... I drank beer," she laughed but started crying as Sunghoon took the phone from her.

"Yup, she's drunk. We're at Alton Club for her welcome dinner. Come over in 30?" He said and after a moment cut the call.

"He'll be here in half an hour so enjoy till then," he said while returning the phone.

"Hello? Hello? Jake? My dear husband??" She pouted while putting the phone next to her ear.

"He cut the call," she started crying while telling everyone.

"Hey! Sunghoon! Are you into my husband?" She frowned.

"What the hell...?" He looked at her while putting his glass down after a sip.

"Why did you steal me my husband's call?? Are you gay!?" She shouted while Sunghoon just sat there, too stunned to speak.

"He'll be here soon, don't cry," Song hugged her while tearing up herself.

"He'll be here right?" Sophie hugged her back and the two started crying.

"No..." Sophie pulled back from the hug. "Jake wouldn't make me wait! He's probably outside!" She said while quickly running to the exit door.

"Wait!! Sophie!!" Sunghoon shouted while running after her but she didn't listen and in a second as he got stuck in a group entering, she vanished.

"Why are you drinking alone?" She asked the man who stood in a corner outside, away from the crowd.

"Just.. it was too crowded there," he smiled while looking at the woman who looked cute, drunk. It was very new to him. "What are you doing here? You need something?" He asked.

"Jay," she replied while getting closer to him.

"Hm?" He replied with eyes wide as she was barely an inch away from her. She was wearing heels so their eyes were at the same level.

"What? What is it?" He gulped wanting to push her away but he just couldn't. She was beautiful, too beautiful that he felt bad for being this way but he didn't have time to think further as their lips had already touched.

She kissed the boy who forced himself to not do the same but at some point gave up. He held the glass away from them with one hand and intertwined the other with her hair that fell on the back of her neck.

The two kissed, not knowing where they were, who had just passed they just stood their till Sophie realised what she had done.

She quickly pulled herself away from the boy and ran back inside. She breathed heavily while hiding in a corner.

"Here you are," she heard the familiar voice. She looked to her right and saw Sunghoon with his silver hair.

"You left this behind," he said while showing her the phone which suddenly started ringing.

"It's Jake," he told her after checking.
