It wears a sparkling translucent mask. On the outside, it may seem pure. But deep down, it evilly grins as it watches its victims devour cup after cup. Gradually, it will steal their consciousness just when they least expect of it.
I hadn’t touched so much alcohol since Xialing’s birthday. Usually, I would control myself. After all, I was a workaholic. However, yesterday, the young hirees were very good drinkers. I ended up drinking far more than I had initially anticipated.
“Ah… my head hurts!” I grumbled. I drank way too much last night. The moment I woke up, I could barely turn around. All my body parts ached.
I gazed around my surroundings. This….doesn’t look like my hotel room. Yet, it was so familiar…. abnormally familiar…
I tried very hard to recall the sequence of events from last night. But my memories were only filled with loud noises and cheering glasses.
This is bad. I couldn’t remember anything after the alcohol. Where am I? Who brought me here?
When I attempted to dig through my memories again, someone suddenly tugged the blanket.
Instantly, my body stiffen.
Who was behind me? What the heck? Wait a sec…why am I naked?
Oh God! Oh Heavens! F**k my life! Don’t tell me last night I ended up in bed with someone after I was drunk!?!??!
I began to have a mental breakdown as I gripped my hair with both hands. I looked like I was going to pull all my hair out. Then, I gulped down my saliva and anxiously turned my head to stare. I wanted to confirm there was actually a person next to me.
I reached out my shaky hands and gently lifted the corner of the blanket. It was a man with an angelic face. Su..yang?
Could we have…the two of us….last night….AH!?!?!?! What?! HOW!?!??!?!?!
“Are you alright?” Suddenly, Suyang’s hazy voice appeared in my mind. It seemed to be part of last night’s missing snippets.
I wanted to scream, but luckily, I covered my mouth just in time to drown out the sound. Suyang was still deep asleep, but I couldn’t think anymore. The only solution was to leave the scene as soon as possible!!!
I sat up but my bones wouldn’t stop crackling each time I moved. I was so afraid to wake Suyang that I held in my breath.
Where are my clothes?! Clothes!!?!?!?! I looked all around the bed. Eventually, I found a pile of clothes all piled up on the messy floor. Then, I stared at the walls around me. The walls were covered with anime posters and the cabinets were stuffed with action figures. My intuition was correct. This is Suyang’s bedroom!
I got out of the bed and considered my current state. I had no idea when Suyang was going to wake up. So, I snatched the pile of clothes and bolted into the bathroom.
Then, I wrapped a towel around my body and sat on the toilet as I began to pick out my clothes from the mess. All of them reeked of alcohol.
I finally found my cell phone in my pocket and checked the time. It was only 6 am or so. I still had enough time to return to the hotel and shower.
After I put my clothes back on, I secretly poked my head out of the bathroom door. I walked quietly on tiptoes towards the entrance. Just before I left, I glanced at Suyang’s bedroom. He was still in a deep slumber.
I leaned against the door frame and had a blissful smile on my face. But a second later, I snapped out of it. What am I doing? This is not the time to daydream!
On my way back to the hotel, I was in a zoned-out state the whole duration. I leaned my back against the taxi seat and stared outside the window. Based on the throbbing pain from my lower region and how sore I was, we must have done something very intensive last night.
But how did I end up in his bed after the party? It made no sense!
Before I could solve this riddle, the taxi had already arrived back at the hotel. I hurriedly paid and got off. I didn’t want to see the subtle smile that the taxi driver kept throwing at me.
