Chapter 36 Next morning

"Ugh... my head..." Emmy wakes up and she is experiencing her first hangover.

She turns to a side and sees Ji Hoon's sleeping face right in front of her, Tay is sleeping on top of him, and Jee Eun is sleeping on the other side of the bed.

This doesn't surprise her because she has already slept with Ji Hoon with Jee Eun at the same time before. What surprises her is that all of them are not wearing anything except their underclothes.

"What the hell happened last night?!" She blushes and immediately wanted to wake Ji Hoon up, but she stops her action when she notices his body.

*gasp

There are scars all over his body, mostly knife scars. One in particular catches her eyes, the one on the side of his left chest just below his armpit, it looks like a bullet graze scar. She can't help herself from caressing it.

Minutes later, Jee Eun and Tay wake up one after another.

"Shh... look." Emmy signals them before making any voice and points to his body.

"Ah..." Jee Eun quickly covers her mouth.

Tay just looks at his body without saying anything.

"Let's dress up and we will talk outside." Emmy whispers to them.

The other two nod.

After they leave the room, Ji Hoon opens his eyes immediately. Of course Ji Hoon was awake all this time, actually, he was the first one to wake up, he just didn't know how to explain their naked situation, so he just prentended to be asleep.

"Ugh, my body feels so sticky... I guess I'll think about what to say when I'm bathing."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the living room

Jee Eun starts the conversation.

"Unnie, did you know about this before?"

"No, I don't think he told anyone about it, not even Soo Yeon."

"I'm sure he just doesn't want us to worry about him."

"By the way, why were we naked?"

"I don't remember... do you think oppa did it?"

"No it wasn't him, I remember throwing my clothes away because it was so damn hot at night, and all four of us were cuddling together. It got really sweaty so I took off our clothes." < Tay

"Why did you have to take off our clothes too...? " (⁄ ⁄•⁄ꇴ⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄ < Jee Eun

"I figured it would be really uncomfortable for all of us with clothes on, don't have to thank me." (❛◡˂̵ ̑̑✧)

"Who would wanna thank you?!" Jee Eun thought to herself.

"I'm still sweaty all over, is there another bathroom here?"

"You can go to the unit next door, I live there with Jee Eun."

"Ohhhhh...! So that's why you wanted to move out! You get to stay so close with Ji Hoon! Mind if I move here there too?"

"If you come, Kristy would wanna come with you too, she's not going to live alone."

"Then we can just live together again! It's just a matter of time before Kristy starts taking action on him anyway~"

"No objections~" Emmy shrugs.

"Me neither~" Jee Eun raises her hand.

"What are you three talking about?" Ji Hoon suddenly appears behind their sofa.

"Ahh!!!" x3 Σ(ﾟДﾟ;)

...

"Hahahaha!"

"Is that funny?" < Emmy (𓌻‸𓌻)

"Oppa! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" < Jee Eun (๑•̀д•́๑)

Tay is just looking at Ji Hoon with her mouth wide open, still shocked. ( ・◇・)

"Sorry sorry, you three were so into it, I just can't help myself. I will you breakfast as an apology."

"What are you making?"

"Nothing special, just toasts and eggs."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Awkward silence~

"Erm, any comment?"

"It's just toast and egg." < Emmy

"Pretty good~" < Tay

*omnomnom ( ′～‵) < Jee Eun

"Okay."

Awkward silence 2~

"You are not gonna ask about anything?"

"I'm waiting for you to tell us yourself." < Emmy

"You don't have to though, we are not forcing you or anything." < Tay

*omnomnom ( ′～‵) < Jee Eun

Awkward silence 3~

"Those are cuts I got during the two years in the army, it happens."

"What about the big one?"

"I got really lucky. I was sniped by an ambush but I accidentally fell sideways which causes that person to miss."

"Does it still hurt?"

"Nope, not anymore. Right now I just think they look cool, these are my badges of honour."

"Cool my arse..."

"Woah, language! Anyway, I wasn't trying to hide from you or anything, you will eventually find out sooner or later, I wasn't gonna just walk to you and say, 'hey, check out my scars right?"

"Fine, did you tell your family about it?"

"No way, how can I tell them, especially omma."

"They will find out about it eventually."

"Then I'll just deal with it later."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm just gonna go back to sleep today, my head still hurts." < Jee Eun

"I'm gonna go back and pack my stuffs, maybe I'll be here tonight with Kristy." < Tay

"I got a text from the movie director, I have to him back later." < Emmy

"I'll drive Tay back then. By the way, promise me not to drink alone outside, bring me or someone like Kristy or Kyu Sun and Yeon Hyo from G0G with you if you really want to. The three of you got drunk with just a cup of soju!"

"Didn't you get drunk too in the end?"

"I drank two bottles."

"Woops my bad~ Fine, we promise, it's no fun to drink alone anyway."

...

Inside the car

"You were awake this morning aren't you?"

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

"Don't lie, I was in top of you and you were really lively down there, just like last night."

"It's supposed to be like this in the morning."

"What about last night?"

"You can't control that either."

"Pft... men."

Ji Hoon got no answer to that.

"You need any help carrying stuffs later?"

"Nope, there aren't much to pack anyway. Just come fetch me and Kristy when I call you later tonight."

"Alright."

"Bye~"

Ji Hoon waits until she enters the the house, only then he drives away.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tay's POV

"I'm back~"

"What the fuck?! Where were you last night?"

"Huh? I was staying over at Ji Hoon's home with Emmy and Jee Eun."

"Why didn't you let me know about that though? Not a message or a call, I was so worried! And you turned off your freaking phone! You are lucky I didn't report this to the police!"

"Ahaha~ it's fine it's fine, I'm sorry I forgot about that."

"Hmph, so?"

"So... what?"

"What happened last night? Tell me everything IN DETAIL."

"Hehe, alright~ So this is how it went..."

...

"I thought you said we will act as a team?! And you just went ahead and did it first?! You betrayer!!!"

"Sorry sorry! But it was right there, it was the perfect chance for me! It would be the end for me and Ji Hoon if I didn't step up there. Don't worry, I'll support you from the 'inside' this time!"

"You better! Go pack your stupid stuff, and leave me alone for awhile!"

"Don't be like that Kristy~ Let me help you~"
