His denial and quick admission that he is indeed a mess elicits an amused laugh from the girl. She helps him stand up, both hands wrapped around his arm to steady him. He’s a bit heavy, but there have been experiences in the past when she has to do this. So it is safe to say that she’s quite skilled in hauling him out of places when he’s gotten too drunk.
I’m not good for you. His words make her stare wide-eyed at him for a moment, she doesn’t know if he meant it to sound that way but she chooses to ignore the lump in her throat and laugh it off. “I know,” she responds with as much ambiguity, “but if I let you go, you’ll hurt yourself.” She meant it literally, more than metaphorically--as far as she can remember, it has been him who let her go.
“Thank you very much for your concern.” Seojin jokes as she starts leading him to the backdoor, the quickest way out of the nightclub and for some reason, she thinks she needs more air than he does. She’s confused. Perhaps it’s because it has been so long since they last talked that Seojin doesn’t know how act, once upon a time, she has gotten accustomed to being his girlfriend but in the recent times, she’s learned how to become a stranger to someone she knew so well.

She sits down and naturally, she tugs him down with him. “You can sit here, and puke if you want. The road is yours.”
