"Actually you know what, I'll take a vodka shot please," Jihoon told Minji, "all of a sudden," he mumbled under his breath, "you know what make that ten shots, I feel like getting wasted tonight." He smiled. Minutes later Minji brought over the shots and Jihoon drank them like water. "Bring more, don't stop." He said as he slammed his hand down at the counter. Minji started to get a little bit worried but there was no way he could stop him, after taking about 23 shots the bar was barely full and everyone was almost gone.

"That's enough for you Jihoon, you've had too much to drink already," Minji said, suddenly Jihoon started laughing. "You know Jihoon, I'm very sorry." He said, "I'm a full de time jerk, and I treated you like shit." "I'm hurt but I don't want to show it, he doesn't care at all." "He was the one who made me block you," he cried, "who?" Minji asked. Jihoon looked up at Minji with teary eyes, "he broke my heart Minji, he lied and deceived me." "I thought he really loved me, he even said he wanted to fix things between us." He stated.

He chuckled a little, "I'm sorry, I should get leaving now." He wiped his tears. "You're drunk, you can't drive." Minji said, "It's okay, I already called my uncle to come and pick me up." He said getting up. Minji watched Jihoon walk out but inside he wanted to hold onto him. This was also the first time he had ever seen him cry like that.

Outside JaeHwa, HwaYoung and BeakHyeon were in the car waiting for Jihoon. As soon as they spotted him BaekHyeon and JaeHwa rushed to get him. "Why are you drinking like this at a young age like yours Jihoon." Jae said as they walked him to the car, "I fucking hate my life!" He exclaimed, "I've never seen Hyung this drunk before." Hyeon stated, "You guys are identical twins but polar opposites." Jae added.

They opened the car door and placed him inside. "Poor baby, why is he so drunk," HwaYoung said, "teenagers, don't worry about it," JaeHwa said entering the car.

The car ride was filled with an uncomfortable silence, Jihoon slouched in the backseat, his breath heavy with the scent of alcohol. HwaYoung glanced at him with concern while JaeHwa focused on the road. BaekHyeon couldn't help but shake his head, baffled by the sudden change in his usually composed and collected brother.

The next morning the twins were up eating breakfast when TaeHyun suddenly walked in. "You guys are up early," he said as he walked to the kitchen. "We missed you last night Tae, where were you?" Baekhyeon asked, "I just spent the night with a friend, We were catching up." He replied looking at Jihoon who was busy eating his food.

"Did you sleep well last night baby?" He asked him placing his hands on his shoulders, Jihoon not looking at him nodded and said nothing. "Would you like something, Mrs. Min can make you something real quick." Hyeon suggested, "sure, I'm really out of energy I could use a little bite." He chuckled nervously.

Suddenly Jihoon got up stormed out of the kitchen and went up to his room. "He had a rough night." Hyeon awkwardly smiled as he nodded his head. "I'll go check on him," Tae Hyun said as he ran after him.

In the room Jihoon slipped on his shoes threw on a hoodie and grabbed his phone and car keys. As he was about to walk out Tae opened the door and walked in, "Are you okay?" He asked. "I'm fine, I just need you to leave me alone right now." He replied backing away from him.

"Did I do something wrong?" He asked, Jihoon took a deep breath and sighed. "You didn't do anything wrong, I'm just the dumb one who actually believed you when you said you loved me." He told him. "What do you mean?" "What I mean is that you are a filthy lair and a dirt cheater." He hissed. "So with that I'm done with everything that has to do with you, also I don't want to see you in my house when I come back." He firmly said as he walked out of the room and slammed the door behind him.

In the car, Jihoon slammed his head against the Steering wheel his breath getting heavier. He ran his fingers through his hair as he composed himself, he turned his car and drove off.

20 minutes later he was standing at Minji's door staring down at his phone. After a few seconds, he placed his phone in his pocket and knocked on the door. Seconds later Minji opened the door, his hair wet and his toothbrush in his mouth. "Jihoon!" He mumbled in surprise.

After cleaning up they sat on the couch Minji sitting on Jihoon's lap. Jihoon buried his face into Minji's chest and they sat there in silence for a good 4 minutes.

"Are you going to tell me why you showed up at my house at 8 in the morning?" He asked breaking the silence, Jihoon just stayed quiet with no reply. Minji sighed shaking her head, "Did you fight with your boyfriend or something?" He asked. Jihoon finally looked up at him and replied, "his not my boyfriend, we've been broken up for almost 3 years now." "So was he the guy you were crying about last night at the bar?" "I don't want to talk about it, let's just stay in silence for a moment please." He said as he went back to burring his face.

"Do you realize how shitty this is," "I don't want to sit here in silence with you Jihoon, it's making me uncomfortable." Minji burst out, "If I'm making you feel uncomfortable I can leave right now." He added, "No, I don't want you to leave. I want you to speak to me, talk to me, and let all you're feelings out." He remarked, "Please open your heart to me, I want to know what bothers you the most, what makes you happy, and what makes you cry." "I also want to be someone you value Jihoon, I want to hear all the stupid stories about your uncles, and all the silly stuff your siblings do to you." He stated as he stroked his cheek.

"So please just speak to me and tell me what's hurting you, I hate it when you're not you." He remarked as he kissed him. They passionately kissed their hands roaming each other's bodies. "I've missed you," Jihoon said in his soft husky voice as he hugged him tight.

As their passionate embrace continued, Jihoon and Minji found solace in each other's presence. The weight of Jihoon's heartbreak and the lingering pain seemed to ease in the warmth of Minji's arms.

Breaking the kiss, Minji gazed into Jihoon's eyes. "I've missed you too," he whispered, his voice filled with sincerity. "But I want to understand what happened. You don't have to go through this alone."
