"Bye junkyard! Bye fishes!", you yelled while you were slung on Hoseok's shoulder as he walked away from the bar and back to his car. It was really a bad idea to go with your friend in a party full of alcohol and just drinking.

Your friend had called him since you accidentally, tasted soju. And you liked it. You drank more until you were more than tipsy. You looked crazy.

As soon as your body hit the chair inside the car, you closed your eyes and drifted to sleep.

-

You whined loudly, walking down the stairs while rubbing your teary eyes, causing the peaceful sleeping Hoseok on the couch to wake up.

It was already past midnight, and you woke up at such an ungodly hour.

"Wae? Waeyo? What happened? Are you okay?", he stood up and approached you. His hair was still a bit messy, but it didn't compare to your witch-looking hair.

You cried and sat on the floor while he looked down at you with a very confused face.

"I accidentally killed an ant!", your tears were actually flowing.

"W-what.. are you serious?", he tried to hold back his laughter.

"Yah!", you hit him hard causing him to flinch in pain.

"How dare you laugh about the ant's death? Oh my gosh, please don't report me to the police for animal abuse!", your expressions were fast to change even though your tear-stained cheeks were obvious.

"Let's keep it a secret, please? It was an accident," you whispered to his ear.

He had a ridiculous face, shocked and still holding back his laughter.

"My goodness, Ara! Micheoseo?", he held your cheek, kneeling down next to you.

"Yeah! I drank water so I'm drunk!!!", you laughed crazily, hitting your thigh constantly while chuckling, only a minute before you fell down completely laying on the cold floor, crying.

Hoseok laughed loudly at your stupid actions, making you sit up and glare at him. You stood up, holding onto the nearest table for balance and quickly ran away. Actually, not quickly.

"Catch me, horsey", you yelled as your laughter was heard around the entire room.

You knew he hated being called a horse and you barely called him that unless you needed it to piss him off or as a revenge.

He angrily but playfully glared at you, catching you as you ran around the living room until the dining room, and then back to the living room.

You stuck your tongue out at him but then stumble over your own leg, causing you to fall when Hoseok was catching up close. Your body landed on his, as he also tripped because of the sudden weight. You both fall over as you landed on him.
[ugh im sorry iz cliche]

He could smell your breath that smelled like alcohol. You definitely drank a lot more than expected, considering it was only your first time.
Your eyes wandered around his face, smiling like a psycho in the end of your observation.

Your slightly sat up and got off him, and then started tickling him to death.

He was mumbling some words you couldn't clearly understand. It's near to a word like "yah!" and "hajima".

He harshly pulled your waist, making you stop your actions and immediately got flustered. Your cheeks were flushed due to his intense gaze and skinship intended.

"You are such a brat, little girl," he rolled you over so now he was on top of you, but not literally since he was using his elbow to balance on top of you, avoiding to put all his weight on your weak body.

So many thoughts ran through his mind and he finally came up with a final choice.

He gave you butterfly kisses all over your face, lastly, a deep kiss for your lips that still tasted like alcohol.

When he pulled away, your eyes were already closed. He didn't know how you could suddenly fall asleep with a kiss, a deep one.

He looked at the clock that was hung on the wall above your flatscreen tv.
It was almost 2 am.

"You better go to sleep."

He picked you up from the floor and carried you up to your room. He slept beside you, watching how crazy it was when you were together with alcohol.

What a beautiful memory.

No one will carry you up the stairs anymore. No one can deal with your craziness anymore. No one will chase you around like kids anymore. It's all in the past, and right now, alcohol was your friend.

He broke up with you.

"I'll be with you forever, jagi. I'll always save you from alcohol."

It kept echoing in your head, along with his laughter that chimed after those sweet words.

It echoed more than the "let's end this."
It echoed more than the words he told you on your breakup. It seems like those sweet words hurted more than the words that ended your relationship.

You drank a whole dozen of soju, trying to kill the pain though it only hurts you more. Nothing could erase the pain of the breakup.

❦

I wish I didn't drink last night. Maybe you didn't have to pick me up, maybe you wouldn't be in the hospital right now. Maybe... I should never drink. But it's the only way to forget, while you forget me too.

Maybe, your mind didn't have to forget me.

It killed you, knowing those bright beautiful eyes will never recognize you again. Maybe if you didn't drink that night, just maybe, you'd still have a chance even though you had to wait.

Now, you're not even a memory to him.

기억력 상실 ; amnesia.

—He received a text from your friend, telling him to pick you up since you were at a bar. No one else could pick you up. Even though you were just 'ex lovers' , the past love still existed. He can't just leave you there, maybe even touched by random guys.

He speeded up towards the bar where you were, and did what he had to do. He picked you up, placing you down on the passenger's seat with a fastened seatbelt.

He drove back to your apartment but two huge spots of headlights speeded over to his side. He wanted to hug you but it was too late. His head hit the car's ceiling too hard as the car somehow flipped over a few times.

His head...

Why can't you be the one
to protect him?
