"..."
Yueye Xue and Kusano Kaoru stared blankly at Okino Yoko as she kept drinking. They had only taken two sips, and she had already finished a glass.
Seeing that Okino Yoko wanted to continue pouring herself wine, Yueye Xue quickly held her down, "Yoko, what's wrong? I feel like... you're not in a good mood?"
"No... No."
Okino Yoko forced a smile, "I'm just happier today... so I want to drink. You guys drink too."
"You don't have to be so eager, right?"
Kusano Kaoru said, "Let's wait for Terumi to come out and drink together..."
Wait for her to come out... I'll probably get beaten up.
Okino Yoko muttered, subconsciously glancing at the bathroom, full of apprehension.
Just then, the bathroom door clicked open, and Hoshino Terumi appeared at the bathroom door, saying, "Yoko."
"Huh!?!"
Okino Yoko looked at Hoshino Terumi with high tension, very uneasy.
"Bring me a set of pajamas... I'm going to take a shower."
Hoshino Terumi touched her neck, feeling sweaty and sticky... not very comfortable.
"Shower... shower... shower?"
Okino Yoko was taken aback, even the drunkenness faded a lot, she hurriedly shook her head and shouted, "No showering, no showering!"
"Huh?"
Hoshino Terumi looked at the excited Okino Yoko strangely and said, "What's wrong? Is your water heater broken?"
"No, no."
Because she had been drinking, Okino Yoko's head was a little dull. After thinking for a moment, she shouted, "Because taking a shower after drinking is very bad for your body, you can easily catch a cold! It's better not to shower."
"Ah... You're worried about that, it's okay. It's not the first time I've done this."
Hoshino Terumi waved her hand indifferently and said, "It's okay to take a cold shower, don't worry."
"It's not that... it's just... it's just..."
Okino Yoko didn't know what to say, she couldn't possibly say there was a man in the bathroom, right?
If you take a shower, you'll be seen naked!!
"It's just what?"
Hoshino Terumi leaned against the door, watching Okino Yoko stammer for a long time without saying anything, and interrupted, "Haven't even started yet? You're already getting drunk... Forget it, I'll go get it myself."
Saying that, Hoshino Terumi left the bathroom and walked towards Yoko's bedroom.
Okino Yoko looked at it, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom," and quickly went into the bathroom.
She quickly came to the bathtub and looked, and immediately let out an "eh" sound.
No one.
"That's strange, where's the person?"
Okino Yoko looked around in confusion, unable to see where Lin Yi was hiding.
Finally, she looked up at the open window above the bathtub, and couldn't help but guess, "Could he have climbed out from here?"
Unable to find Lin Yi anywhere, Okino Yoko could only go out to the living room.
Hoshino Terumi, who was waiting outside, went into the bathroom and said, "I'm going to take a shower... it'll be quick. You guys drink first, don't wait for me."
"Got it, got it... Then we won't wait for you... Yoko, come over and have a drink."
"Oh... oh..."
Ono Yoko went over to drink with them, but she kept stealing glances toward the bathroom every now and then.
Lin Yi was hiding outside the window, while Hoshino Terumi was inside taking a shower.
At the thought of this, the tips of her ears turned red.
What kind of mess is this?
Ono Yoko's heart felt extremely conflicted.
Originally, she just didn't want Hoshino Terumi to know Lin Yi was at her house.
But now, she had inadvertently caused her good friend to be seen naked by the person she liked... Suddenly, Ono Yoko recalled a saying circulating on the internet for no reason:
Sometimes, if you don't try hard, you'll never know just how badly you can mess something up.
Forget it, forget it, forget it... let it be.
Whatever happens, I'll deal with it tomorrow.
Ono Yoko had completely given up on trying to fix things, pretending Lin Yi had never come over.
She chatted with her sisters, drank with them, and gossiped like usual.
Click, the bathroom door opened.
After Hoshino Terumi came out, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. "I took a cold shower... It was so comfortable, super refreshing! I feel energized all of a sudden!"
"Really? Then I'll go take a shower too."
Takeno Yuki stood up and said, "I feel like I'm getting sweaty too..."
"Pfft..."
Before Takeno Yuki could finish, Ono Yoko, who was drinking, sprayed it all over her.
Ono Yoko quickly wiped her mouth and said flusteredly, "I'm sorry... I drank too fast."
"It's fine... I'm going to shower anyway, so I might as well wash my clothes too."
Takeno Yuki said nonchalantly.
Ono Yoko watched silently as she went to her bedroom to get a pair of pajamas and then headed into the bathroom to shower.
"..."
Ono Yoko picked up her glass with a look of despair and took a sip; she felt the beer was exceptionally bitter today.
Hoshino Terumi noticed Ono Yoko's expression and asked, "What's wrong... Yoko? Why do I feel like you're not very happy today?"
"Exactly," Kusano Kaoru said. "Whenever we get together, you're usually the most excited one. Why are you so listless today?"
"Because... I've been too tired lately."
Ono Yoko could only use work as a shield. "And I've had a bit to drink..."
"That's true..."
Hoshino Terumi nodded understandingly and said, "Then how about you take a cold shower later too? To clear your head?"
"..."
Ono Yoko shook her head repeatedly. "No... no thanks. I'm not used to showering right after drinking. Let's just leave it... I'll just listen to you guys talk."
"Suit yourself."
Hoshino Terumi didn't force Ono Yoko. She began chatting and drinking with Kusano Kaoru, talking about the things happening around them.
Ono Yoko listened to them absentmindedly, her eyes constantly drifting toward the bathroom. Her biggest worry now was a sudden scream coming from inside.
If that happened, she would definitely be finished.
Fortunately, even after Takeno Yuki finished her shower and came out, Lin Yi hadn't been discovered.
This allowed her to breathe a huge sigh of relief.
"I'll go take a shower too..."
As if by some unspoken agreement, after Takeno Yuki left, it was Kusano Kaoru's turn to shower.
Ono Yoko lowered her head, drinking silently, not daring to say a word.
If heaven could give her another chance, she would say to that girl... I'm sorry.
