The sun arises from the horizon ㅡ the night hid itself. Slanted beams of light started seeping through the blinds and filling a small portion of the room. Lavender fragrance filled your nostrils, pulling you out from your slumber.

I don't remember litting the scented candles; you thought inside.

You were still half-asleep and hugged your pillow with comforter covering your body ㅡ keeping you warm. Your mind travelled to the incident yesterday. And the first that popped up in your mind was Jungkook.

As fast as lightning, your opened your eyes. Slowly, you inspected the room. The room was definitely yours so you were perplexed.

Did Jungkook took me home?; You thought again.

You tried to remember every details that happened last night. Pieces of memories started to be solved and you could descry the memory more. You remembered ㅡ going to the bar with Hoseok after running away from Jungkook. You could also remembered getting drunk.

But what happened after that? I can't seem to remember; you thought.

Your head were not throbbing at all but your body felt numb and stiff. The tip of your own fingers were harshly rigid and you were reek of alcohol.

"I swear to god, I'm never going to drink again."

You mumbled to yourself before pushing the blanket from you. Hopping on your feet, you almost fell. Your legs felt wobbly like jelly as you tried to walk.

"Are you kidding me?"

-

Arriving at the workplace, you got out of Jungkook's car without exchanging words nor look at him. You stayed like a mute and so did he. Afraid of asking ㅡ you decided to just be in the awkward situation.

You didn't turned around to look at his face. Usually, you will take a glimpse of his face but now, you didn't dare to do so. You felt uneasy and everytime you meet his gazes ㅡ your legs would feel numb and fall apart.

Entering the building, you sensed stares directed at you through the hall. Uncomfortable gazes shot at you and small whispers could be heard by the co-workers. You ignored them and walked towards your department office.

What the hell? They usually greet me; you thought, feeling uneasy inside.

You knew, something was wrong with the way they were starting to whispers. As if another rumors had started and it seems to be about...

You.

'I found it weird too after senior Jung Hoseok's birthday party.'

'Maybe they are hiding something from us.'

You could hear few talks as you passed by. Your steps getting faster as you heard a whisper and so on. It was indeed about you and you thought they had been gossiping about you and Hoseok.

But you were definitely wrong.

"Eunhee! Eunhee!"

Suddenly, out of the crowd ㅡ came out Sunhi rushing and pushing the other co-workers. She looked anxious and confused at the same time. Her breath sounded dreaded and beads of sweats were trickling down her forehead.

"Eunhee, is this true!"

You were more confused as Sunhi showed her phone in front of your face. You cocked a brow, thinking that Sunhi also was acting weirdly. Slowly, your hand grabbed her phone before reading one message that had been sent by an unknown number.

It reads,

Your eyes widened as you finished reading the message. Your hand trembled and your grasp on the phone loosened ㅡ soon, the phone fell to the floor.

"Ah, my phone!"

Sunhi whined as she snatched her phone that has fallen to the floor.

"By the way, is this true?"

Sunhi asked, pressuring you more than the atmosphere itself. Eyes were on you, desperately wanted to know the truth from you. You couldn't be helped but felt terrified. If you were to say yes, gossips will spread like wildfire. If no, would they believe you?

You didn't know what to do but your mind screamed.

Jungkook, help me.
