🪐 — KANG SAE-BYEOK for katiana !
she shows no mercy for katiana's staggering form, jaw clenched and stare as unforgivingly cold as her hometown winter nights. sae-byeok reasons against simply leaving the girl to fend for herself, after witnessing another near missed collision against the pavement. because despite her harsh demeanor and the hundreds reasons why she shouldn't care at all, sae-byeok keeps a dangerous secret under close guard: her heart is too big for the cruel word she has been tossed into and sometimes it still compels her to kindness, in spite of her better judgment. ' aish — i'm calling you a taxi. don't get sick on me. ' she hisses this through her teeth, still no more inclined to take pity on katiana's alcohol muddled brain enough to be gentle about it. she wounds an arm around the other girl, however, in case she needs to keep her upright while she guides her outside the club, towards the street's curb. the music being blasted through enormous speakers follows them there ( yet another thing to endure in this mess of a night ), forcing sae-byeok to raise her voice significantly in order to be heard. ' can you get yourself home? '
THE CITY LIGHTS ARE SPINNING — or maybe she is. katiana can’t really tell. sometime after the fourth double martini, she’d lost her sense of balance. & her shoes didn’t help, brand new patent louboutin heels spiky & stiff & sky-high. more than once, they catch on an uneven piece of pavement & almost send her sprawling, long legs knocking together as she just barely stays upright, giggling the whole time. some guy had been trying to chat her up inside, but he’d ditched her pretty quickly when she’d turned down his invitation to go back to his place, grumbling something about not getting a proper return on his investment. as if he had any room to talk. he’d still been wearing madc jacobs’ winter collection from three years ago, so she doubted he really had any idea what made for a good investment. she’s fishing around in her handbag for her cell phone, her untouched roll of cash still tucked into the inside pocket ( girls like her don’t pay a cover charge, & they definitely don’t buy their own drinks ), when sae-byeok appears at her side. & katiana gives a drunken squeal of delight, an arm flung clumsily around the other girl’s stiff shoulders. ❝ sae-byeok, i’m so glad you’re here ! did you see that guy who was talking to me in there ? he was so boring, did you see ? ❞ she’s slurring, her head pounding in time with the loud music outside the club, & it takes sae-byeok’s words a long moment to register. ❝ ah, a taxi, yes, exactly, that’s just what i was trying to do, but i couldn’t find my phone ! maybe i left it inside. but it’s fine, i can just get a new one. ❞ & then katiana breaks off into giggles again, her arm falling from the other girl’s shoulder. ❝ um, no ?! you can’t leave, the night’s not over yet — we still have to go back to the flat & have girl-talk. that’s the best part of any night out, don’t you know ? like you have to tell me, did you have fun ? did you dance with anyone cute ? ❞
