The thirty minutes she spent inside the hotel, she tried her best to be as calm and composed as she could be. Yes, she was strong, but it does not mean she didn't have feelings. She was far more hurt because of Weiyoung's betrayal. She had been dating Jinyong for two years, but she had taken Weiyoung as her sister for the past decade despite all the wrongs Weiyoung did to her. Who wouldn't feel hurt by such betrayal?
"Don't cry Sara! They are not worth it. Don't cry because of them" She tried her best to convince herself as she walked into a bar nearby.
An hour passed, she was on her third bottle of liquor. Her cheeks were flushed red because of the alcohol. She didn't mind anything or whatever was going on around her. She just needed to drink to the end of her friendship and relationship in one night. Oh! She also lost her job the previous day for hitting a customer who groped her. "The customer is always right" Her boss told her when the issue was reported to him. She had no choice but to throw his job in his face and stalk out. Did she regret it? Nope! She only regretted not hitting her boss also before leaving.
"Can I join you?" A young man suddenly asked as he sat down beside her.
"You are already sitting. Why asking me?" She rolled her eyes at him and downed another glass of liquor. He chuckled at her drunken ramblings before he continued. "It is not nice for a delicate young lady like you to be here all alone drinking so much. Some bad guys out there might come after you" He advised.
"Take your crappy piece of advice somewhere else, I am not in the mood to entertain your sweet nonsense" She shunned him and stood up. "You can have the remaining drinks. I already paid for them" She pointed at the two unopened bottle of liquor on the table before she left the bar.
He smiled to himself as he watched her leave. He had seen her earlier at the hotel and got attracted so he followed her. He was able to deduce from her actions in the hotel that she was the difficult type. So waiting for her to get drunk was his best way to approach her. Because Heartbroken drunk girls were vulnerable, Or so he thought. He had totally underestimated her. Even when drunk, she still shooed him away like he was undeserving of her time. Girls were easy for him but he knew this one was going to be a challenge. He had never had a challenge so this was something he really looked forward to. "How interesting" He then grinned.
Sara felt slightly better when the fresh air outside hit her face. The cold sobered her up a little so she opened her arms wide and inhaled deeply "Feels good"
She checked her and noted it was already three minutes past nine in the evening. She had gone to the hotel few minutes past seven. Just few hours had passed by but the night seemed to be the longest night of her life.
Would things get any worse? She couldn't help asking herself.
She turned to look at the bar one more time before mumbling "It's really over between us" She said to the building.
Two years ago, she visited this bar for the very first time when Weiyoung got drunk there and had called her to come pick her up. She had been in the middle of dealing with Minde when the call suddenly came in and she had to rush there because she knew Weiyoung was a light drinker and leaving her there could be dangerous.
She had not been surprised when she got there to meet a drunk Weiyoung. The first question she was asked as soon as she sat down was "Where have you been?"
Sara averted her gaze and replied nonchalantly. "Been around"
Weiyoung laughed drunkenly. "I know you Sara. Don't go messing with the wrong guys. The Li family won't let you off if you do anything to any of their own"
After enough convincing and pleading, Sara finally agreed to let it go. Not before showing her the picture of Changru who looked like she was having a solo Halloween party.
Weiyoung laughed and laughed and commended her friend's guts. She knew she wouldn't be able to pull off something like that in her entire life.
Before they knew it, Weiyoung dozed off.
That day, Sara also coincidentally met Jinyong there. He seemed to have been there to pick up someone also. They both assisted each other with their sleeping buddies and had since then became close. He was the first person to treat Sara nicely despite her looking all rough and unladylike. His actions touched her, and before she knew it. They got into a relationship.
Although, Jinyong wasn't the type to hang around bars like that which was below his standard but since they both met there, they had celebrated their first and second year anniversary there.
Today, she had gone there again, and that would be for the last time. After reminiscing the past, she turned and strolled down the busy street. Although she was well covered, the weather was still too cold for her. She stopped beside the road to hail a taxi.
First try, second try, third try. No success. She could feel her frustration reaching the climax. She was not in the mood to walk. She needed a hot bath and nice sleep. But the reality before her was quite disappointing. She was about turning to walk home when a car suddenly stopped beside her.
