8th member of GOT7: Ela (Song Dain)
"Him.", Joy said just as he came back from the bar with a bottle of whiskey and coke. "What about me.", Dohwan asked with a smile. "Dain asked where are you, so I said you went to get us drinks.", Joy explained. "That's not true, I just sat here looked around and she said you went there.", Dain said quickly. Dohwan just smiled and gave Dain a glass. "It's okay. What do you want to drink birthday girl?”
"Hmmm... just give me a half a glass of whiskey 3 cubes of ice and some coke.", Dain said politely, "unnie what will you drink?", she asked Joy.
"Oh I'll have the same but with more coke less whiskey.",Joy answered.
There was this weirdly awkward atmosphere in the air between the three. It was because Joy knows that Dain likes Dohwan but the question is does he likes her too. He's really sweet too her. But at the same time, it's confusing. What if he just thinks of her as a younger sister. She likes being friends with him but would be sad if he didn't like her. If her stupid crush on him would ruin their friendship, it's not worth it. That's why Dain has been trying to forget her feelings.
"Dain, will you confess?", Joy asked her quietly so Dohwan didn't hear.
"No, I think I won't.", Dain replied mumbling.
Not wanting to be rude they started to talk to Dohwan. In the middle of a conversation about how he just got cast in a new drama and a realization that it's the same drama where Dain got the offer to play his characters love interest.
"Oh my god, you could be playing a couple. That's so cute.", Joy said excitedly. At that moment Minjae and Taehyung came to their table.
"Oh, come on Joy you're talking as if you didn't smooch his face in a drama a year ago.", Minjae commented making a kiss sound. Everyone laughed except Joy who pushed Minjae away as he wanted to sit next to her.
"Oppa, come here, Tae oppa you too.”, she made a place for both of them next to her. Minjae sat next to her and complained about how Joy bullies him all the time. Dain just laughed and pinched his cheek. "Ow!", Minjae exclaimed.
"Oh come on it wasn't even that bad.", Dain replied smiling. Then she gave him a kiss on a cheek. "Better?", she asked him. He just smiled and nodded his head.
"You two would be cute together.", Taehyung commented. "Yeah, I know right?", Dohwan agreed. The shock on Joy's and Dain's face was noticeable, while Minjae just shook it off and replied "She's like a sister to me, actually no she's me. I can't date myself”.
Dain nodded her head in agreement. Before anyone could say anything more Joy said she needs to go to the restroom because she could see the sadness in Dain's eyes. She asked Dain to come with her and she did.
"Are you okay?", Joy asked her trying to look her in the eyes as they arrived in the restroom.
"No? I don't know, I'm just glad he doesn't know I like him.", Dain said as she tried not to cry.
At the same moment, Sunmi and Seulgi came in the restroom. "Dain-ah!", Sunmi exclaimed happily, but then she saw her eyes.
"Oh sweetie what's wrong?", Sunmi asked as she went to hug her.
"Unnie!", Dain said now sobbing in Sunmi's shoulder. Seulgi and Joy talked on the side while Sunmi was comforting Dain.
"Come on tell us what happened?" Sunmi asked still hugging her. Joy and Dain explained that Dain liked someone but didn't say his name, and explained the situation. "Are you talking about Dohwan?", Seulgi questioned. "Yes.", Dain replied emotionless as she sat on the floor leaning on a wall.
"Oh, forget him you'll find someone even better than him. I know handsome polite boys are your weakness but believe me it's just not meant to be, look you'll meet someone that'll never make you cry like he just did. Okay?", Sunmi said encouraging her.
"And you are a beautiful girl Dain, so many guys and girls want you. Believe me, you'll find someone but now just go out there and enjoy your birthday. Cope with it however you want, get drunk, kiss someone, even hook up with someone, just don't cry. Okay?", Seulgi said giving her a hand to stand up. "Okay", Dain replied taking her hand.
"Okay now first let's go pee then back to the party.", Joy said laughing.
After they came back to the club and returned to the table there was Yeri, Eunwoo and Jungkook sitting with them. Dain sat next to Eunwoo and started to drink. Taehyung went to get two more bottles of whiskey and Dain was not stopping. On her 7th glass of whiskey with ice Eunwoo stopped her.
"Wait a minute princess.", he said taking her glass. "Leave me alone, I want to drink, it's my birthday.", Dain said whiningly.
"No, Dain what are you doing? Did something happen?", Eunwoo asked her. "No, I just feel like drinking", Dain replied as she tried to take her glass back from him.
When she succeeded she got up and decided to go to the bar and get herself a cuba libre cocktail. After she took her glass she went to the first squad she saw, there where Changkyun, Joshua, Mark and Aron, talking in english. "Thank god, I found you guys because my brain has switched to english.", Dain said as she stood between Mark and Changkyun.
"Darling, what are you doing?", Joshua asked her with a worried tone because he saw in what state she's in.
"I'm drinking because I'm getting old. It's my birthday!", she replied now almost completely drunk.
"What's the time?", Mark knew he had to be the big brother again and take care of her. "2:35", Aron replied.
"See I still have time to sober up. I'm not leaving until 4 am. Remember that", Dain said to Mark," also this is my last drink today". Mark just sighed.
Dain, on the other hand, was on tour to talk to everyone. Again. As she was walking, a girl tapped her shoulder.
"Sorry, are you Dain?", the girl asked. Dain scanned the girl, she was pretty, probably a model, but why was she here, she knows some of the idols partners came to the party but she knew them already.
"I'm looking for Dohwan, I'm his girlfriend Seo Hyeri, nice to meet you", she said smiling.
"Oh... nice to meet you too", Dain said with a fake smile," he's down there at the second to last table".
Dain was drunk but in a moment she felt like someone hit her in the face with a bucket of ice water.
"Thank you", Hyeri replied and went to Dohwan.
Dain knew she needs to get out of there as soon as possible. She went to her members who were having an Uno tournament with Seventeen and Monsta X at the biggest table in the club. She asked the whole bunch if there's anyone who wants to go home. Her members are too competitive to just go home so she got a no from them. Sunmi then came by to say goodbye because she was preparing for a comeback. Sunmi lives on the other side of the city so she can't go with her. After Sunmi left Dain asked the boys will anyone help her go home because she's scared to go alone. In the end, Jackson agreed to go with her. She said by to everyone and went home. They took a taxi to her house.
Jackson was a bit drunk too but he was in a much better state then Dain who got her heart broken twice in one night. When they came to her apartment, he took off her shoes and they went to sit on the couch. As they started to talk about something irrelevant Dain did something stupid. She kissed him. As they were both drunk he kissed her back. It was not a kiss of love, it was a kiss full of a desire to be loved because they're heartbroken. They just went for it, neither of them pulling away, the complete opposite happened she found her way onto his lap, he grabbed her face as she put her fingers in his hair. But soon Jackson pulled away.
"We can't be doing this Ela.", he said catching his breath and looking down.
"I just don't want to do something that would make our friendship awkward and weird. I'm sorry.", Jackson explained.
"Nah, I agree I don't even know what got into me, sorry.", Dain said as she got off his lap.
"Also did something happened at the party?", Jackson asked because she was acting strange. Dain then explained everything to him. When she was done both of them were tired and went to sleep. They slept in the same bed just because Jackson knew she needed someone to hold her this night.
