there she was, a vision of reckless abandon amidst the pulsating throng of warmth's. In her, he saw a reflection of his own fractured soul, a kindred spirit bound by the chains of societal expectations yet yearning for liberation. with a predatory gleam in his eyes, he moved towards her, his intentions shrouded in the murky depths of his inebriated mind. 'i came to see you' as he reached out to touch her, his fingers trembling with anticipation, he knew that in her embrace lay the promise of redemption or ruination. he offered his hand, a naive gesture that hided the depths of his desire. 'im just having fun with you, don't be so serious' im sorry, he meant to say, yet the words were only an echoed in his brutalized mind, so used to hide away his feelings. her words, so soft, burned in his mind like rapid-fire. was him in her mind for his manipulative acts or was it sincerity? could someone ever really be interested in him without all the pretending. he let his hand hanged, giving up on the girl's touch for once. finally feeling how tired his body was. 'what do you want me to say?'

seoyon watched as his hand lingered in the air , suspended between them like a fragile thread of hope in a stormy sea. she could feel the weight of his uncertainty , the echoes of his conflicted emotions reverberating in the space between them. for a moment , she hesitated , torn between the pull of her own desires and the warning signs flashing like neon lights in her mind. but then , with a sigh that seemed to carry the weight of a thousand unspoken words , she pulled herself back , creating a chasm between them that mirrored the divide in her heart. " came to see me ? " she echoed , but this time there was a short grin that hinted either sarcasm or surprise. his presence promised excitement and danger , but beneath the surface lurked a tumultuous sea of doubt. the female knew she couldn't afford to let herself be swept away by the tide of his allure , no matter how tempting it may be. " nothing. " everything --- everything that can possibly end our torment , as she thought. it was all fun and games until she felt herself falling for him , and that is something she can't risk. " i'll just let you stay in until you're sober. " without hesitation , she stood up --- carefully as she hoped widening their distance can somehow feel easy for the both of them. standing in front of him now , she maintained their eye contact. " just — lock the door when you leave. "

as the world swirled in a dizzying haze of colors and sounds, he found himself ensnared in the labyrinth of her words. the alcohol coursing through his veins blurred the edges of reality, casting a veil of confusion over his senses. Yet amidst the chaos, her voice rang clear like a beacon in the night, drawing him closer with its siren song. he leaned in, his gaze locked on her lips as if searching for hidden meanings in the curves and contours of her speech. she made no sense to him tonight. yet somehow, he knew not to push her this time around. the girl seem uncomfortable and he was still too drunk to figure out what was going on. he kept her words still, locked in his mind for later. when he would try to decypher in the solace of his house what unscrupulous thoughts soyeon had. 'you? invading my personal space? im the one laying on your couch in the middle of the night, sweetheart' her words danced on the precipice of comprehension, teasing and elusive, like fragments of a forgotten dream slipping through his fingers. she was been more than evasive, yet he couldn't blame her, he wasn't exactly a trustworthy person 'warm water it's alright' he deflated, giving up for now on the fight. 'you're a riddle tonight' he whispered, gaze lost in the room.

at this point , there was no point in retaliating to every reprisal he has. seoyon knew he'd win her over --- in time , at least. but for now , the only retaliation she knew was to keep her distance , her mind off of him. but how is that possible when she could even hear his breathing dancing along with her heartbeat ? she could only hope the drunkenness would hinder him from seeing right through her body language. just until she could pull herself together. a minute of silence embraced the conversation , as if an angel sat in the empty space. the female , however , could no longer bare sit uneasily. she enclosed the the in between , still --- with her head down. " did you only come here to ask me ? " with curiosity , her eyes laid on his lap --- as if she was tempted to hold him. again. " you occupy my mind most of the time of my day and that's — that's something i can't afford anymore. " please , just tell me if you want me. she thought , but couldn't utter for the sake of the dignity left in her. " will you be honest this time ? "

In the labyrinth of his mind, he had always wielded manipulation like a finely honed blade, carving paths to power and control with a deftness born of cunning and calculation. soyeon, a pawn in his intricate game of chess, had been a willing participant in his schemes. avoiding him wasn't normal for her. so he wondered what he had done wrong this time around 'i don't know, you tell me' amidst the tangled web of deceit and manipulation, a seed of something unfamiliar began to take root — a flicker of emotion that defied his carefully constructed facade. It was a feeling he had long denied, buried beneath layers of indifference and cynicism. 'that hasn't keep you from going to parties before' he was been an asshole, pushing her once more to get an answer. yet he couldn't help it. something about this time made his inside crawl. the touch surprised him, deprived often of intimacy it seemed so gentle and naive. as he watched her from afar, a surge of unexpected warmth coursed through his veins, 'why are you sorry for, love?' he gazed at her, slipping wis words like raw honey.

" just really tired , is all. " she confirmed , hoping it would end the questioning right there. but seoyon also knew hwan , he was the type to never back down until he gets the answer he wants. yet , the ball is on her court --- even for a while now , she was unsure of how to counterattack and play safe all at the same time. this is her keeping her wall up from a man who possess all the traits she should keep away from. love --- that wasn't the first time she heard him call her with such endearment , was it just to lure her back in ? did he mean that ? " i just don't want to invade your personal space. " softness was evident on her tone of voice , as she pulled away from her own touch. " i'll get you some warm water , or do you want anything ? "

he smiled, endeared by her naive spirit. he should make a mental note of putting some more locks on her door. just to preserve her innocence and keep his mind calm. 'yea, cus rapers don't knock on twenty-something years old with living alone experience' seoyon wasn't that dense, but he couldn't help to entertain himself with her chastity. her credulousness, always present for him to take everything. yet that didn't mean he would let anyone take anything. the girl was his playdoll, his own thing to care for. 'you sure it wasn't you avoiding me?' he wasn't foolish, her whole demeanor spoke louder than words. she was recoiling from him. 'it was closer to the party' he spoke, like that would mean anything. a blatant lie, he had walk for one hour straight with liquid in his brain only to come and see the young girl.

seoyon knew he was right. but she couldn't afford to admit that , considering his offer of staying overnight might just get longer. and no , not that she didn't want him around --- but more because she was afraid that she would only go back to zero in the process of detaching herself. her sight still avoiding his gaze , her fingers were fidgeting out of anxiety from his question. " why would i avoid you ? " they both clearly know the answer but who's one to say that ? certainly not her. " it wouldn't be hygienic to go straight to a party after a hospital duty , right ? " a nervous laugh came in between. " and you're clearly tipsy , you should have headed home to rest , hwan. " she then found herself moving close to his space and laid her palm over his temple. " i — i'm sorry. "
