The cold air crept under my thin dress. I puffed out cold breathes into my palm, rubbed it together and cupped my cheek to transfer its warmness.

“Where is this ing retard?!” I knocked the door for the umpteenth times until my poor knuckles began to ache, numb. I glimpsed at my watch and hissed. “Damn. I have fifteen minutes more. What do I do?” The tension built up inside of me had caused me to become restless than ever.

Pacing back and forth in front of the room, I was completely immersed with my own thoughts and oblivious of my surrounding. My heart almost jumped out when someone touches the bare skin at the small of my back.

“Hi there, baby.” I turned around clumsily and my head smacked on that person's chest. Warily, I looked up to meet with whoever it was. I was mentally prepared to stammer an apology but it turned out to be someone that I knew.

“Kai!” I blurted out.

“Whoa.Whoa.Whoa. Baby, did you just come? I’ve been waiting like centuries for the arrival of my beautifully beautiful queen.” He inched closer, and lightly kissed the top of my head.

In that very moment, I sort of captured the feeling as why Eunjung would fall head over heels to this so-called flower boy. Up to this point, he was the sweetest talker I had ever met in my life. I struggled for words when my eyes started to wander around his dazzling appearances tonight. He looked fine in that slim fitting black shirt though it appeared slightly soaked to me, in which it allowed me to see his masculinity, his six packs. This guy looked effortlessly handsome.

“Baby, one word...you’re gorgeous!” His big mesmerizing brown eyes were about to bore through me and with great self-restrain, I managed to get a hold of myself and resisted the urge to smile.

“Are we going to stand here for the whole night?” I mumbled hurriedly, no longer meeting with his gaze.

Within seconds, he clasped my hand, confidently escorting me inside the room. My steps were abruptly halted at the entrance. Reeks of alcohol sneaked into my nose and I staggered back as the dizziness started to click in me.

“Hyuna-yah!” He gasped, wrapped his long arms around my waist and tightened his hold. I trembled from his touch and immediately inched away, but Kai held my shoulder firmly. “Relax, babe. I promised you we’ll be alone in no time,” he murmured softly from behind; his voice shivered me.

The music was loud, purely deafening. Sometimes, it irked me that I had to ask repeatedly because I couldn't reach his meaning and that really consumed my time. I scanned through the room and saw his fellow friends with their girlfriend. Perhaps it was the music, or the unpleasant smells of the alcohol, but I just couldn't stay focused and my mind seemed to engage with something vague. His arms still clung around me, keeping our bodies as close as possible. He brought me to one corner, putting away whatever stuff that was on the couch earlier. Frankly speaking, I didn't like these. I just couldn't stand the sight of people kissing publicly, touching each other in a complete unabashed way and making out in front of my eyes. I did it for Eunjung and majority of it, I wanted to anger my parents, but this was too much for me to handle.

“Where was your drink?” I said after a few seconds, not sure whether I should smile or not. The smells of alcohol get on my nerves severely. A thrill went past me as I began to feel anxious.

“Hey, you. Baby, hey. Are you okay?” He shot me a concern look and clicked his tongue, spreading an arm across the couch.

“You-Your drinks. Was it that one, or...” I flashed a plastic smile to him as I pointed at every glass on the table beside us.

“Drinks?” He let out a soft, amused laugh. His smile seemed to imply something, and whatever it meant for, I feel my cheeks heating up. “We weren't here for that,” He grabbed one of the glasses on the table, looking over the rim of it and winked mischievously. I smiled faintly and he reacted by smirking seductively at me, exposing his spotless white teeth.

“I-I want a-a drink,” I stuttered with a shaky voice. He cocked one brow and asked, “Sure, what do you want to drink?” He turned to the other side, stealing glances with his other friends.

“Yo-Your drinks,” When I finally spurted out the last words, I saw a glint in his eyes. Frankly, I felt so cheap as I said that. I fidgeted and tried to move a little, but he was quick to grasp the small area of my back.

“I was crazy about you, baby,” When his words started to sink in, I caught myself panting for air. Next, he rubbed his cheek against mine and casually ran his nose along my hair line. For one unspoiled moment, my heart fluttered in a way that I had never felt before. He was trouble.

“Here, your drinks,” I took a sip of the first alcoholic drink I ever had up until now. All the while, my eyes, never left him. His eyes blinked at me with reassurance in it. He simpered impishly and took the glass from me only to take a sip from it.

“Cool, isn't it?” There was an edge of amusement in his voice, but I simply nodded. My head started to hurt like hell. I jabbed near the area of my temples, wondered if it was due to the drinks just now.

‘Song...Hyuna...’ A warm breeze ran from one ear to another. I fidgeted; my heart pounded in my throat.

“Hyuna yah, you’re so cute, do you know that? I just can’t get my eyes off you...” He reduced the gap between us with his eyes wandered down to my lips. I sort of get what it led to. My heart quickened as he leaned closer and closer. Breathtakingly, he implanted a kiss on my lips and brushed hotly against mine.

‘Put it inside his drinks.’

There was a voice inside my head that giving out the instructions, which I inherently followed every single thing it said. The next thing I did was cautiously opened the cubic bottle and expertly poured its content inside the drinks that he was holding at. For a moment, his lips were domineering mine as he brought up one hand to tangle with my hair, only to deepen the kisses between us.

‘Now. Ask him to finish the drinks.’

I jerked my head back and stared directly into his dark brown orbs. He paused awhile to chew the corner of his lips. He was still eager to continue our kisses, but I inched away before he could do so.

“Baby, please...”

‘Drink...Drink...Drink...’

“Finish off that drinks and I’ll give you everything you want.” I purred beside his neck provocatively.

“I like this side of you, Hyuna yah. Show it only to me, you get me?” The vibes from his words sounded so controlled, desperate and dangerous.

‘Song Hyuna...’ A surge of emotion emerged from within, threatening to choke the life right out of me. Oddly enough, there was something familiar about that voice. It kind of reminded me to someone but when I tried to focus about it, my mind became blurry, and in the brink of time, I remembered nothing. The thoughts that once controlled me had completely dissociated.

‘Tok.Tok.Tok’ Right after the third sound, I snapped out of it. My eyes darted at my watch and it was almost time the police would come. Kai chugged down his drinks in one sip and I was like, ‘What the hell was going on?’ I shifted my gaze toward the cubic bottle and it was emptied. ‘Did I put it inside his drinks? I...put...it?’ I scratched my head absently. My mind fogged up and I can’t seem to think further.

“I've finished it. What do we do first?” His tugged me closer; unabashedly crushed his body against mine.

‘Leave. Now.’

“We-Well, let me go to the lady's room first. Ba...by,” Awkwardly, I pushed his hands away and without looking at him, I could sense that he was eyeing on my every movement. I clutched my handbag and rise from the couch without sparing any more attention to him. It was completely different from a couple of minutes ago where I was completely mesmerized at this guy before my eyes. Conflict overwhelmed inside of me and I was torn between which ones of the feelings were real. Strangest of all, the swirling emotions began to subside once I left the room. Except that despite everything, one thing I know for sure – my first kiss – was him.
